China’s Future in the Balance

There seems to be no limit to the arrogance and political greed of Chinese leader Xi Jinping or the amount of suffering he is willing to impose on his own people. From the brutal takeover of independence-loving Hong Kong; to the officially sanctioned imprisonment, torture, slavery, organ harvesting, and genocide of the Uyghurs, a people who make up nearly 50% of the population in China’s Xinjiang province; and the brutal persecution of followers of Falun Gong throughout China; Xi and his Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have created an industry of persecution, slavery, and genocide that should shock us all. But that is only the beginning.

The news about the source of the pandemic is finally emerging as real news, and not just the “conspiracy theory” that the Democrats have been deriding for well over a year. It’s all turning out to be true, as it always was.  ..............

History should have already taught us many powerful lessons about tyranny and the insatiable hunger of tyrants for power. Napoleon also once said, “If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.” Xi is clearly a student of Napoleon.

• Fresh outbreaks of a new mutation of the coronavirus are erupting in China, the same virus that they created in their own labs; 
• The massive Three Gorges Dam – the largest in the world – is now in danger of a catastrophic failure because of a corrupt construction process and this year’s record rainfall. If the dam fails, the calamity will put the lives of 40 million people in mortal danger;  
• China’s economy is teetering on the brink of failure; 
• Another year of terrible famine is looming large in the immediate future;
• And new intelligence suggests that the Chinese government is in panic and may even be on the verge of a coup. 

And yet Xi and his comrades continue their efforts to expand their power so they can dominate and control the world..............To Read More...
