2 years ago: Xi Jinping, after public silence about the Wuhan Virus, emerges amid a huge propaganda campaign to portray him as a bold, decisive leader.

The CCP worked at every level for three weeks to devise and implement a policy and propaganda strategy. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wuhan-virus/
Xinhua carried the story on January 20, 2020, but the link is gone. xinhuanet.com/english/2020-0…
Two years ago: Top Chinese Communist Party officials knew that the Wuhan epidemic was in danger of becoming a global pandemic, but remained publicly silent, AP subsequently reports. xinhuanet.com/english/2020-0…
CCP's authoritative People's Daily outlet, which provides the official party line, mentions the virus for the first time on January 21, 2020. washingtonpost.com/world/2020/02/…
January 21, 2020: CCP's "Global Times" carries two stories about what it calls "Wuhan pneumonia," but both are later deleted when Xi Jinping's party line is enforced to shift blame away from Chinese government.

Various Chinese Communist Party outlets called it "Wuhan virus," "Wuhan pneumonia," and "Wuhan coronavirus" until Xi Jinping's Party line came down to draw responsibility away from the CCP. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wuhan-virus/
Trust the science: 2 years ago, the Washington Post headlined that the World Health Organization's decision to hold off on declaring a "global health emergency" for the "Wuhan coronavirus" because of an "uneasy balancing act between science and politics." washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
The above Washington Post article referred to "the role of politics" in the World Health Organization's global health decisions, the fact that "politics is always involved" in WHO decisions, that science-based decisions are "unavoidably political, even if framed otherwise."

🧵24 years ago this week, Vadim Bakatin was appointed chairman of the Soviet KGB.

Soviet Communist Party chief Mikhail Gorbachev, under duress from Russian leader Boris Yeltsin, reluctantly ordered that Bakatin be empowered to dismantle the KGB. Nobody was prepared for this. Image
Bakatin wanted American help about what to do.

He had a modern but still Soviet worldview. He thought the KGB could be broken apart along functional lines so it could never abuse power again.

Bush41 feared a collapse of the USSR and its Communist Party, & provided no help. Image
Bakatin was not a KGB man. He was a professional construction man. He became Soviet interior minister. Yeltsin wanted him to run the KGB and tear it apart.

Within 2 months, in October 1991, Bakatin devised a plan to break the KGB into five main pieces, each as a separate agency.

President Trump zeroed out ALL funding for the Organization of American States after a Chinese proxy became secretary general, in league with Marxist Latin American regimes.

Republicans on House Appropriations Committee just restored full $46,504,000 funding to OAS.

The House Subcommittee on Appropriations Committee Chairman is Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart. @MarioDB
docs.house.gov/meetings/AP/AP…Image
The OAS was already woke, but it's now super-woke under its new Chinese proxy leadership. It intends to use American tax dollars to spread DEI and wokeness throughout the hemisphere.
Nowhere in this House bill do Republicans explain why they are restoring $42 million to the Organization of American States.

The OAS is mentioned only as a quiet line item for cash (page 22) and as a candidate for even more "voluntary" cash for special programs (page 90). Image

🧵My Old School FBI mentors taught me that, to take over a hostile organization with very few people, the first thing to do is seek out insiders who had worked with the worst offenders.

This is how the old FBI took down the Communist Party and broke the back of the KKK. Image
2) There are always insiders with second thoughts & are looking for a way to do the right thing.

Or they just want to keep their jobs.

They know who did what. They can identify others who feel as they do.

They are the sherpas needed to work the networks of the bureaucracy.
3) One needs to identify sherpas and empower them.

To climb Mount Everest, one needs a whole team of sherpas.

Without sherpas, the newly arrived climbers will fail - if they are lucky. Most likely they will die for nothing. Image

The USA pays half of the budget of the 34-member Organization of American States (OAS), yet has only 1 vote.

Countries that each pay 44/1000 of 1 percent formed a bloc to elect a Chinese proxy to run the organization. State Dept is in denial. @DOGE
oas.org/budget/2025/Ap…Image
@DOGE We created the OAS to fight the spread of Communism. Over time, our leaders - Democrat and Republican - abandoned the OAS and, through design or neglect, allowed the Marxists to overrun it.
@DOGE The new OAS Secretary General, Albert Ramdin, was foreign minister of Suriname when he agreed with Beijing in 2021 that his country would "always" stand "firmly with China on issues concerning China's core interests and major concerns."

The International Leadership School of Texas, with a campus at the illegal immigrant development of Colony Ridge, received funding from the Pentagon and support from the Chinese government.

General C.Q. Brown was a big supporter.
iltexas.org/news-media/new… x.com/JMichaelWaller…
The International Leadership School's website describes its Pentagon funding for students to learn Mandarin. Trace this, and one can see that the program is accredited by the Chinese Communist Party's ministry of education. iltexas.org/about-us/grant…Image
It received more Pentagon money in Chinese language teaching in FY2024.

Question: Why did the International Leadership School of Texas build a campus in the middle of the illegal alien settlement at Colony Ridge? languagepolicy.org/post/departmen…Image
