New hobby is googling the think tanks affiliated with every rabid anti-China op-ed writer, and then looking up how much weapons contractors have contributed to them lol
Neal J. Blue, another $100k donor, is chairman/CEO of General Atomics, the same military contractor his brother Linden S. Blue co-owns (see above in thread)
I overlooked this in my original tweet, but Northrop Grumman, in the $50k-$100k donor range, is one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers, and developed the Stealth Bomber during the Cold War
One of the greatest lies we were fed was that the US was ever ideologically opposed to the Nazis. There were lots of Wall St firms/big corps (GM, Standard Oil) at the time that wielded major political influence who were financially linked to and did business w the Nazi regime.
Not to mention all the Nazi-sympathizers among NYC's elite, e.g. Charles Lindbergh. Those in the upper echelons of US finance and nat sec wanted powerful Nazi figures returned to postwar power, to ensure Germany as a strong bulwark against the Soviet Union.
Also let's not forget this fascist coup plotted by Wall St, conveniently swept under the rug of American history
lmaooo it never fails—you see one of these posts, you go to their profile and don’t have to scroll too far down to see these sex pests jerk off to hentai and are learning mandarin to try and move to China
I shouldn't say "weirdest," more like really off-base, or misunderstood. From what I understand "social credit" as it exists is aimed at enterprises/businesses rather than individuals. It's not a tool of social control for the average person...
Its main targets are businesses/their executives engaging in misconduct. It's a policy implemented by the gov to decrease high levels of corruption. If a business/exec engages in misconduct this system doles out punishment thru restrictions on flying/highest tier on train travel
Yes, I understand the U.S. has a marine mammal program, but "satellite images" aren't evidence of the DPRK having one. What's more likely is that this is another case of a thing the U.S. does itself projected onto an enemy of the state.
