Sana Saeed is a host and senior producer at AJ+, the digital news service distributed over social media and owned by Al Jazeera, which in turn is owned by Qatar. It's always advisable to know the source of your information. I normally do not pay much attention to Al Jazeera, as they tend to repeat the lies of the Western mainstream narrative. I'm therefore intrigued when I came upon Sana's AJ+ YouTube post titled "How the Threat of China was Made in the USA"  Here is my comment: I came from Hong Kong and have become a Canadian like Sana. I worked in the mainstream media in the early days of my career and actually built a national Chinese language television station in Canada. That was several decades ago. When Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997, I returned to watch the ceremony. I ended up getting a job in China and lived there for almost two decades until retirement. I have witnessed China's rise and I can share my experience in a few words. I was utterly shocked by the complete disregard for factual reporting of China by Western journalists. I am almost ashamed to say that I started my television career in Canada working as a director for a news crew on the streets of Toronto. These so-called Western "journalists" willfully lie about China, and they're paid liars. It is their job to be dishonest about China and they have no shame lying. China is by no means a perfect society, and no one should lie about that, but why should we expect any human society to be perfect? China has at least helped its people improve their lives from extreme penury and with a very disadvantaged hand; what has our government done for us lately, except using the people's trillions to send the people's sons and daughters into wars, committing atrocities in our name, and buying lies from the mainstream media, so we can all blame China? Meanwhile all the money flows into the coffers of the 1%. Sana's clip is one of the clearest revelations of the egregious role Western journalists and their media bosses are taking on as liars on all reports about China. Unfortunately, lies and delusions will not overcome truth and facts. Not only will the mainstream media destroy our trust in them, they will destroy themselves, as well as our society. This is what will happen when our society no longer has trust. One of the symptoms of our sickness is how we now have lying presidents and prime ministers and lawmakers, and how it is now normal for them to lie. The problem is not that they lie, but that they lie poorly, like America's last president. I have recently written a short rap titled "Blame China" on my blog. Feel free to read for a laugh.

How to Win Big This November? -- by Michael Moore
Poor Michael Moore is still full of hope and change. Let us not mock ourselves with vain hopes. The Dems will lose big. Here is what I say: Why would anyone vote for the Dems when the people have been lied to every time? Remember Clinton? Remember Obama? Many Dem voters are already regretting that they have been duped (again) to vote out the cretinous Trump, because how is Biden any different? Hasn't poor Michael (who--bless his soul--has his heart in the right place but not so much his head) noticed that Biden has continued most of Trump's imbecilic policies? Biden turns out to be Trump 2.0. He lies just like Trump, perhaps with more finesse. Notice that under Biden the pandemic is reaching another peak? Notice how Biden is going to get America to fight wars with Russia and China at the same time? Notice Biden's approval rating dives below that of Trump's? Why should people bother to save this "democracy" when Michael himself says that ever since Bush senior, "our" numbers have been greater than the other side in every election for thirty years, yet what has this "democracy" done for the majority? Big fat nothing, not even when "our" side wins. It's a big fat joke. How many people are still delusional enough to believe that we have to save this "democracy"? Should we hope for a better result when we believe in the next Democrat lie? Whose problem is it when the people keep believing in lies from the same liars over and over again? And even if the Dems win, let us not forget that the Trump majority in the SCOTUS don't give a flying fig about "our" majority. "Saving our democracy" is just a slogan meant to distract. Voting for the Democrats will save nothing and no one. Better to take the red pill and think of how to wake the people from this sick lie and save this once beautiful country from those liars, hypocrites, thieves, murderers, and miscreants, whom by the way the people have elected by this "democracy," and to whom the voters have granted the imperious power and unlimited funds to commit atrocities in "our" name with impunity. We have met the enemy and he is us. A Peter Man screed Comment from John Rachel (Counterpunch.org contributor): Thank you, Peter, for introducing clarity and perspective into the vapid puff of delusion Michael Moore has subjected us to. While I've admired the man in the past for making powerful movies accessible to everyday people, the last few years he's become unhinged with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and a puerile obsession with the corporate Dem hypocrisy machine. Nice Work!

How to prove there is no genocide in Xinjiang? You can’t prove a negative, so don’t try, because you’ll be using the liar’s narrative, which is the whole purpose of the lie. Once you start answering the lie, you will lose no matter what because you’re giving credence to the lie, and people’s mind will be made up by a human defect known as “Conformation Bias,” which is characterized by “my mind is made up, don’t confuse me with facts.” This is the War of Narratives; if you don’t believe in its power, try answering to the false accusation that you’re a pedophile and a sex predator. So what can one do to combat lies? Reveal the liars and their lies. Attack the liars at their foundation. If the liars lie every time they open their mouth, why should anyone believe in their lies about China? If the villagers do not trust the boy who cries wolf three times, why should anyone waste even a second of their time pondering the endless lies that erupt from the mouth of habitual and pathological liars? You can't even fool a squirrel three times with the same trick. Maybe it’s not the liars that is the problem but the people who give credence to the lying machine’s thirty thousand lies. Maybe it's another human defect known as hypocrisy. We choose to believe in a certain lie because it makes us feel good. It reinforces hidden prejudices that have been spawned by other lies. Meanwhile the liars are rewarded by being elected to positions of wealth, prestige, and power. Why should the liars stop lying? Let me share the indignant voice of a rare mainstream journalist Yonden Lhatoo, Chief News Editor of the South China Morning Post, who excoriated the insufferable hypocrites of the West on SCMP’s official YouTube channel. Click the link and enjoy.  In closing, I would also like to share the prophetic words of a sage written in 1995, not long before his passing to a better realm: "I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what is true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (my comment: Wow! I forgot how long the sound bites were; YouTube now has 6 second ads), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentation on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance." -- Carl Sagan (from his 1995 Best seller "The Demon-Haunted World -- Science as a Candle in the Dark") We have met the enemy and he is us.
