With the Peolsi trip to Taiwan now appearing confirmed, we are racing into very dangerous territory.
But there is possibly something more valuable than Pelosi’s plane at stake. 🧵
The ambiguity and secrecy behind Pelosi’s route is designed for one thing only: to make it appear as if Pelosi’s plane *might* land in Taiwan while maintaining the plausible deniability that Taiwan was never on the schedule.
But why?
To put China in a heightened state of alert. It’s in this heightened state of alert that the US believes it can better bait China into helping it produce something it cannot convincingly manufacture alone: atrocity propaganda.
The US has a long history of manufacturing atrocity propaganda, and one of their favorite types to produce involves creating situations in which the targets of their aggression are baited into shooting down a passenger plane, or *appear* to shoot one down.
If during the turmoil a passenger plane is shot down, it will scarcely matter what a meticulous forensic investigation concludes a year from now. The US will wield its control over int’l media to immediately pin the blame for whatever happened amidst the fog squarely on China.
The implication will be clear: China has shot down a passenger plane because they are overly militarized and must be countered & isolated.
The primary audience will be Japan/SK/Singapore/Malaysia, who will be pressured into accepting further US militarization aimed at China.
There is some indication that the mysterious disappearance of MH370 in 2014 was in fact the first attempt at such an operation targeting China that was somehow bungled and covered up instead.
But have there been any more recent signs such an operation is again underway?
In March, a China Eastern flight inexplicably crashed.
Was the rush to preempt China’s forensic investigation with unnamed US sources pushing a “suicidal pilots” theory simply a way for Boeing to save face for another major design flaw, or evidence of something more sinister?
Could this China Eastern flight that suddenly pitched into a vertical dive and plummeted into the ground have been a trial run of a new capability the US has to hack passenger planes that is set to be put on display again in this provocation over Taiwan?
Rampant speculation aside, it is important to remember one thing in the coming days: this senseless provocation is entirely of US making and any resulting blood is on their hands, regardless of what initial reports indicate.

There, it runs into other finance capital doing the same. In order to avoid a race to the bottom, the competing owners of finance capital agree to a temporary truce and carve up the world into a patchwork of monopoly territories.
But eventually, this too runs its course and the more dominant owners of finance capital subsume the weaker territories until there is but one imperialist world system dominated by a single country.
This is why Lenin called imperialism “the highest stage of capitalism”
China’s eradication of ETIM terrorism within Xinjiang shifted the staging ground for western-backed destabilization of the BRI—the largest infrastructure project in history—to Central Asia.
Ignoring this context will have you cheering on the next color revolution.
These protests were then capitalized on by western-backed terrorist squads that went around beheading state security forces and demanding the current government be overthrown, a goal obedient western vassals like the UK were more than happy to help with.
It’s simple to reconcile once you stop seeing Ukraine as a smol bean fighting Big Bad Russia and start seeing it for what it is — a US-backed proxy used to:
1- destroy Russia and
2- sever Europe from Asia by forcing them into permanent reliance on the US for energy & defence.
The US is using tariffs to force Canada and Mexico into stopping alleged cross border flows of fentanyl.
One view is that this signals the US genuinely wants to protect its population from fentanyl.
But another is that the US wants to become the global supplier of fentanyl. 🧵
After the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001, Afghanistan’s poppy fields went from a minor portion of global opium production to supplying the vast majority of the world’s consumption.
When the US finally left in mid 2021 and the Taliban retook control, opium production plummeted.
But while opium requires copious labor and vast fields of poppies to generate a significant yield, enough synthetic opioids to supply entire countries can be produced in a single lab by a few chemists.
It’d be hard to imagine a better drug for raising dark money.
