ANDRE VLTCHEK—Some 20 years ago, China and its socialist project, were still in the ‘unfinished stage’. There were big differences in standards of living, between the urban areas in the east, and the countryside. Transportation was inadequate. Pollution in the industrial cities was very, very bad. Tens of millions of people were trying to migrate from the countryside to the cities, in search of jobs and a better living, putting great strains on the social system of the nation.

Those who did not like China had plenty of ‘ammunition’ when criticizing it then. The country was moving forward, but the task to make it prosperous, clean, and healthy appeared to by Sisyphean.

What followed was an absolute miracle, unprecedented in human history. Only the Soviet Union before the WWII registered greater growth and improvement of the standards of living of its people, than China did in the two last decades.

Working in close cooperation, Lugansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic have set out to find and repatriate missing victims of Kiev’s war crimes buried in mass graves and return them to their families. The interdepartmental group responsible for the effort is called Without a Statute of Limitations (БЕЗ СРОКА ДАВНОСТИ).

The official start of this project was August 11th in Pervomaisk and during the initial 3 days of opening of a mass grave near the Sokologorovka and Kiselesky neighborhood 21 bodies were dug up.

These are victims of Ukraine’s shelling of Pervomaisk center from July 27th to August 9th 2014.

ALEX RUBINSTEIN—Just over a year before Senator Josh Hawley came under fire for egging on a supposed six-hour insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6th, he and Senator Ted Cruz partook in a yearlong, full-fledged insurrection in China funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, which featured actions more typical of insurrections such as widespread vigilant violence, property destruction, road blockades, occupations, serious vandalism of the local legislature building, vehicular attacks on police officers and knife attacks against enemy politicians.

Mere days following the IRF Summit, Hawley and Cruz teamed up yet again, filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging them to overrule their previous decision in Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion in the United States.

ALEX RUBINSTEIN—At the breakout session, Ngodup Tsering said that Chinese President Xi Jinping is attempting to “assimilate or eliminate” Tibetan culture and that the Chinese Communist Party has killed 1.2 million Tibetans through starvation and torture. 

“More than 6,000 monasteries were destroyed, and monks were disrobed and nuns were raped,” he said, later explaining that “the elimination of Tibetan as a race perhaps has been the main objective for a long time of the Chinese Communist Party.”

He railed against China’s ethnic unity law enacted last year, according to Chinese media to promote the idea that “Tibet has been an inalienable part of China since ancient times, and it is the common responsibility for the people of all ethnic groups to safeguard national reunification, strengthen ethnic unity and take a clear-cut stand against separatism.”

Claiming that coup plot leader Leopoldo Lopez’s only crime was “to propose a free-market alternative to the repressive socialist policies,” Cruz called for his release.

Cruz later praised an App called Zello, which, his office’s press release said, “created an application to successfully bypass Venezuela’s heavy censorship.” It continued: “Recalling the proud tradition of Radio Free Europe during the Cold War, the Senator lauded Zello’s work as an example of how we can use technology to support those fighting for economic and political freedom around the globe.”

As Venezuelan journalist Erica Ortega Sanoja has reported, coup plotters used Zello to “teach how to assassinate policemen and make weapons.” Zello has since been blamed for helping to facilitate protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th by Diet Insurrectionists.
