I always found it interesting how "human rights" groups latched into a problematic character like Adrian Zenz simply because he's saying something that people want to hear. For those same people, had he been saying anything else, his problematic beliefs would have been an issue.
I've got one that really drives this serious cognitive dissonance issue point home far better than Adrian Zenz. Meet Cory Selby. A convicted animal abuser who killed his dogs, lived with their rotting corpses, and refused to do his community service in an animal shelter. ImageImageImageImage
He's a YouTuber whose been struggling to get views and ironically makes videos about animal abuse issues in China without any sense of irony or shame.
Reading through his comments, you get the sense that his community is full of xenophobic societal misfits who should just be ignored, but now he's been retweeted by the high-profile NED funded activist @RushanAbbas. Rushan knows about Cory, as her staff had been told about him. ImageImageImageImage
They would have known not only known about Cory's heinous crimes, but they would have also known about his extreme xenophobia towards Chinese people, as made apparent by the video in the thread I shared with them.
Rushan was also tagged in this conversation where Cory spouted some pretty vile stuff that gave an even deeper look into the type of person he is, yet Rushan still kept her Cory retweet online. ImageImageImageImage
One of the more concerning things is that Cory shows all the signs that come with psychopathic killers who start on animals and move onto people. He has even admitted to making a video where he emulated Luka Magnotta, the animal killer who killed a Chinese student in Montreal. ImageImageImageImage
For those of you who don't know there was a documentary about Luka Magnotta. After starting with killing animals, he later strapped a young Chinese student to a bed naked, stabbed him to death with an ice pick, and then dismembered him bit by bit while filming it.
Another possible warning sign is shown here. Cory loves to depict "pro-China" YouTubers (as he likes to call them) being shot in the head with a sniper.

The most concerning thing - When he skipped the country to avoid his community service, he came to China to find a Chinese wife. All traces of her have since been wiped from his channel and be keeps saying she's in the bathroom during his livestreams when asked....
Cory is back in America now, outside of the jurisdiction/state where there's an active arrest warrant out on him, but in the meantime, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Anti-China NGO community has begun to embrace him with open arms. This is the state of Anti-China propaganda folks.

Albright, who previously said killing half a million Iraqi children was worth it, congratulates the new presidential team most likely to find another half million children worth less than America's foreign policy objectives to sacrifice once again.

Albert Ettinger's Battleground TIBET.

Highlights and notes thread.

I'll slowly add to this over the next few weeks, so keep checking back. Image
Ettinger was driven to research This topic after recognizing his school lessons on Tibet were taught from a one-sided & manipulative Tibetan Exile point of view. Seeing the "Free Tibet" crowd protest China's human rights abuses by assaulting 2008 Olympic torch bearers added irony
This part was particularly interesting because when you see people tweet parts of Tibetan history that conflicts with their understanding of reality/lifetime of manipulation, this is exactly the reaction we've seen. Image

Some people asking me about my Sri Lanka trip I mentioned in my livestream yesterday. I visited in 2010 on a trip to donate eyeglasses to some of the people in the poorer countryside areas. A lot of people came together to make this happen. One of my favourite memories. ImageImageImageImage
I don't talk about it much, but it came up in relation to religion. I met some of the most humble & kind Buddhists monks in the countryside who refuse any of our gifts. Religious power in the cities was a very different story though, something I'll talk about more in future vids. ImageImageImage
Off topic, one of my favourite new experiences in Sri Lanka was Wood Apple. Incredibly sour. I've only ever seen it in Sri Lanka. I loved it, but you can tell by my wife's face, she wasn't a fan. ImageImage

Yes, absolutely. If any 10 year old child has grown up an environment where they believe they should be ready to sacrifice their life for a living spiritual leader like this, 100% I would without hesitation call this child abuse.
The Children of The Peoples Temple believed the same too.
If you wanna see what the 16 year old child in this tragic story looked like when he was 10 years old, look no further than the video of the 10 year old I posted in the first tweet. The world needs to stop romanticizing this cult immediately and demand the end of this child abuse

When you look at the how Tibetans in India do mob-rule democracy from their recent "Take her beauty pageant crown away" campaign, it's important to remember the other values they also hope to export. Some were unfortunately radicalised by them, it's the point of their US funding
A friend born into the overseas Tibetan exile community came to China. He told me that many of these guys never even tried to get a Chinese visa & just assume they cant. However, they do undergo more detailed background checks because of this legitimate religious extremism issue
The US isn't funding friendly guerillas here. The US' true goals, motives & ethics are the same as always been. If ever they accomplish their mission, Tibet will look like any of the other countries the US destroyed, even the Dalail Lama's brother agrees

Recommend this book @SameeraKhan. It's got a typical anti-China bias & even praises the White Helmets, but the systems it describes are 100% identical what you're experiencing. Seeing a professional paid troll farm in action on your timeline has been absolutely fascinating! Image
For anyone interested in seeing this troll farm in action, look at the replies to this tweet, look at their language, look at their follower counts and registration dates. You can almost pinpoint when their agency got their "Tibetan" cause contract signed

There are real people who get sucked into the narrative too, that's one of the main goals of these troll farms after all, to shift conversations and create momentum. This is one of my favorites, the EXACT same fake newspaper generator used, different levels of thought applied. Image
