Ohh look, more Chinese interference in NZ's political landscape with a threat/warning to boot!

China issues a statement, 'talk ****, get hit' :D

Isn’t that what they always do? Say they aren’t doing whatever they are being accused of and then turnaround and do that exact thing.

That bullshit might work in a communist regime where you control what the people think but it won’t work in democratic countries where we can actually think and challenge their BS.

Going by recent politics, I’m not so sure. Facts just don’t seem to matter any more.

Yeah. The media don’t do enough pushback these days to challenge BS. They like to think they are only there to uncritically report but they really shouldn’t be.

If they are just going to uncritically spew whatever is put in front of them then they are no better than the propaganda department of the CCP.

Take the below article on The Guardian today, uncritically spewing the talking points of the gas industry that we are going to be ”short of gas” when we are among the top three exporters of the stuff! Bullshit should not go unchallenged by the fourth estate but it often does unfortunately.

I think foreign embassies should be prevented from making public statements in foreign countries. Stick to issuing passports to your citizens and shut the **** up for everything else!

Personally, I think we should expel the ambassador for political interference and threatening behaviour!

Fortunately there are a few journalists and others who aren't giving in the the CCP menace here in NZ.

At least NZ has an armoured military capacity to deter invaders.

Hunter Biden's conviction was open and shut. It's very clear what happened there and what also didn't happen.

Trumps case was a federal case, nothing to do with new york state but because monies were paid within the state that was somehow and not just erroneously, but deliberately made to fit the order of convicting trump at all costs.

Eh?? He caused the falsification of business records in furtherance of another crime. This elevated it from a misdemeanor to a felony offence under NY state law. The evidence was very clear and he was duly convicted. Many argue that the only reason Biden was even charged was because who his father is. Really - this is irrelevant - both did the crime and have been convicted accordingly.

The amount of dexterous ambiguity involved here,including denial of fair legal practice, deliberate malfeasance by the state of New York illegally interpreting statute of limitations laws, conflicted individuals and the abuse of public office to achieve a desired result makes this the worst possible outcome for the entire country.

I explained the statute of limitation situation earlier. There is no malfeasance.

It's a dark time in America when any individual can suffer an entire political system deliberately stacked against them to achieve their ends. This is all they have left and they're all falling apart.

Those who believe Trump's conviction was fair and just will easily adapt to living through more of this; until it's personal.

One might argue the same for the crap currently going down in the Miami trial.

Don't worry mate, you can't tell those sucking on the orange coolaid that he did anything wrong. They all believe the great big conspiracy theory.
