As we approach the annual pilgrimage of the Chinese elite to the resort town of Beidaihe,the world should remember what was happening in 1960 when this photo of the relaxed Mao Zedong was taken. 40,000-50,000 of his own people were starving to death daily due to this madman’s 1/5
disastrous social experiments. The so-called Great Leap Forward is,to this day, the worst man-made famine in human history. Mao’s stupidity killed 50 million Chinese. Why do today’s Chinese rank and file continue to discuss Mao with reverence when it is abundantly clear 2/5
that he was mentally disturbed and deeply evil. Mao’s atrocities killed more of his own people than Hitler and Stalin combined. As Xi heads to Beidaihe, he won’t be lounging on the beach as his idol was in 1960. He will be feverishly trying to wheel and deal to 3/5
solidify an unprecedented 3rd term as he stares down an enormous banking crisis,real estate crisis, energy crisis, and food crisis. Ironically, the creature from Wuhan is even wreaking havoc on Chinese cities and has shut down upwards of 40% of GDP for weeks on end. 4/5

The former Chinese PLA General who owns 200 square miles of Texas land next to Laughlin Air Base is General Sun Guangxin who formed GH America. Sun, and Guanghui Group are closely connected to the Chinese military and the Communist Party of China. #China #Chinaexposed 1/5
Sun is a former member of the 8th, 9th, and 11th sessions of the Xinjiang Chinese People’s Consultative Conference (CPPCC). SUN maintains close and positive relations with current and former Communist Party leadership. These relationships are the key to his business 2/5
success in China. Guanghui Group’s website emphasizes the conglomerate’s determination in supporting Communist Party of China’s leadership, as well as prioritizing “Party-building” amongst its employees. As of 2018, Guanghui Group operated 40 internal Communist Party 3/5

🛑 Wil VanLoh 🛑 is one of the world’s top energy investors of all-time. His companies are currently building some of the largest alternative energy projects in the world as well as being the second largest driller of hydrocarbons in North America. I just sat down with him 1/4
To discuss the flawed energy transition policies currently being pursued and what the future holds. The most important he makes is that the current alternative energy goals are UNATTAINABLE due to the dramatic need for the world’s extractive industries (nickel, silica, 2/4
copper, graphite, lithium, etc) to expand between 200% and 1,400%. NEVER before has a global mineral’s extractive capacity more than doubled over a 10-yr period. The alternative energy goals for 2030 cannot be met..period. Here is one chart that helps understand this concept. 3/4

Brexit was the single best strategy for the UK to pursue in order to safeguard everyday Briton’s long-term national security. Bi-lateral trade and investment deals are easier to negotiate, execute, and monitor. In multi-lateral deals, one is only as strong as their weakest 1/6
link. Just look at the failures of the so-called EU.Brexit has nothing to do with racism. It’s the foundation for a proper national security policy. It’s not anti-immigrant. Once the borders are secure, a diverse and inclusive immigration policy will be implemented. Today,2/6
Brexit naysayers are blaming the administration for lower tax revenues and a declining business climate…in an environment where ill-conceived energy policy, Putin’s massacre of Ukraine, inflation caused by aggressive monetary printing, and a general European (and global) 3/6

天安门大屠杀 Today commentates the 33rd anniversary of the #Tiananmen Square Massacre in China. The CPC has made #HongKong a police state. This will be the first remembrance without a public commemoration in #HK . Remember this was about inflation and runaway food prices 🤫1/8
China’s military executed over 10,000 students protesting food scarcity and runaway prices. The government rolled their tanks over the dead students and then washed their remains down the sewer with fire hoses..#Emblematic of how Xi treats his detractors. #XinjiangPoliceFiles 2/8
As the Rules-based world marches ever closer to a kinetic conflict with China, we must all remember the bravery that Tank Man showed the world in defiance of China’s poor policies and autocratic government. 3/8

The mentally ill shooter in Uvalde bought and took possession of his first AR rifle on his 18th birthday last Monday, May 16th. On Tuesday, he bought over 300 rounds of .556 ammo, on Thursday the 18th, he purchased yet another AR. While this might have been his first 1/8
aggregated assault, the multiple purchases of ARs could have been immediately flagged and investigated by ATF. We should immediately raise the age of acquisition of AR platforms to 21yrs old. Ramos (Uvalde shooter -18 yrs old), Harris & Klebold 2/8
(Columbine shooters 18&17 yrs old), Lanza (Sandyhook shooter 20 yrs old), maybe add a multi-week waiting period while conducting mandatory background checks? ATF should use programs similar to their FN 5.7 plan to inquire around multiple gun purchases. The glaring 3/8
