The fact is that there is a broad diaspora of Chinese “friends”, many are good people but many are not. There are principal differences that need to be understood: 1) Chinese with family and assets in China are at risk of extortion if not directly compromised. 1/
2) Due to massive economic subsidies from the West and low general standard of living in China they can easily afford to fund a massive influence and espionage effort in the West. Chinese ending up in labs, critical industries, etc. maybe innocent but you cannot rely on it.
2/
3) The well educated wealthy Chinese visiting our countries come from an extremely classist society. You have no idea what China is really like unless you have experienced it deeply, it is magical, yet sad and depressing.
3/
4) There are hundreds of millions of democracy loving Westernized Chinese that love America. But there are many more that have no sense of morality or humanity that would be happy to see us lying in a burned out radioactive city, if they were unaffected. Wake up.

@cain_nate Read this thread, if you want to understand what is happening in this election. Bottom line: 1) extensive rules, policies, laws and regulations control how we conduct elections, most importantly, HAVA, FISMA and the state implementations of the EAC voluntary guidance.
1/
@cain_nate 2) Together they form the basis of what constitutes an open, fair and honest election. These laws require very low error rates to demonstrate trustworthiness. 3) They also have extensive legal frameworks for protecting the integrity of the election against fraud.
2/
@cain_nate 4) Laws and rules have been blatantly ignored in major Democrat controlled areas. The violations, by law, invalidate the “certification of conformity” for these systems. Under these various legal requirements a qualified validation study needs to be run after the failure.

I hate to do this but you may or may not know me but I am a System Matter Expert on Provenance as related to Trust. I have consulted for the Justice Department, DHS, CIA, NSA, DOD and Treasury on Trust and Provenance and used to hold TS clearances.
We have designed our system to be secret but trusted. This requires guarded anonymous voting with the purposeful destruction of ballot provenance, by design. This is done for a reason, to avoid coercion while giving free access to the vote while still guaranteeing the count.
@TuckerCarlson@JasonMillerinDC@JackMaxey1@Timcast and my many friends, we are at a dangerous place. Our car has spun out on a tight mountain curve and is teetering, balanced on the edge of a precipice. We have highly unusual election activity, it needs to be understood.
Conservatives and others believe the election is being tampered with, in a major and concerted way. Democrats think this is nonsense, at least in public statements. It is time for both sides to realize that there is no way to put Humpty Dumpty back together for this election.
We can force this to be resolved through the courts and States but such a solution, will never be accepted by about 40-50% of the country. It will naw and tear at us for years. The only solution that can allow us to heal is one that gathers bi-partisan support.
Understanding “Deaths from the pandemic” is much more complicated than it should be. Trying to compare US figures to other countries is even worse.

This is aimed at the political discourse, not a comprehensive discussion of the statistics or underlying science. There are literally thousands of moving parts. But I will try to give you some of the stronger issues so you have the armor you need.
2/
Political dialogue follows: 1) 230,000 deaths have occurred in the US from the Pandemic.
This number is overinflated compared to many countries. The US has a rigorous way of counting deaths and is overly generous in the way COVID19 deaths are defined.

As we talk about the Biden scandal tied up in the weeds we lose sight of the American instinct to trust people until proven untrustworthy.

Grifters often have a nice smile, reassuring words and comforting manner. In this case the former VP is also surrounded by loud defenders trying to drown out the scandal. But just stop and think, they are asking us to entrust our future, our safety and our lives to this man.

They have not answered the most basic questions about their economic relationships around the world. Joe are you a traitor? Joe are you a crook? Joe, why should I trust you with the lives of my family? Who trusts someone to protect their family or wealth given these problems?

I want to start talking about a severe gap we have in understanding the future of the United States and of the World. I will do it in small bites and explain what the implications are for what is happening now. It starts slowly so bear with me. Please feel free to join in.

Morality and ethics are complicated subjects. Logic is at times complicated. Religious people look to their teachings for guidance in the boundaries of morality. But to continue the discussion you have to add the concept of sovereignty.
2/
For the religious, sovereignty is ceded to higher beings or God. For non-religious sovereignty is given to reason, culture, leaders or others. But in all systems there are anchors for morality, which in turn are translated into ethics, or the rules we follow in life. 3/
