What\u2019s Going Down in China is Very Dangerous \u2013 Part 2<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the more concerning ramifications of China\u2019s recent turn toward a more totalitarian stance at home is what it means for the geopolitical environment in the years ahead. Several people asked in the comment section of Part 1<\/a> why I care about what\u2019s going on in China when we have so many serious problems in the U.S. The reason is because a major shift in the polices of the second largest economy in the world, populated with over a billion people and run by leadership intent on establishing a far more dominant position on the world scale militarily and politically, will affect everyone.<\/p>\n

Government propaganda is one of the most insidious and dangerous things that regularly occurs within human society, and it\u2019s been pervasive in essentially all civilizations to-date. The media\u2019s always a key ally in the dissemination of propaganda, something much of the American public has finally come to understand. The election of Donald Trump despite the U.S media\u2019s unanimous support of Hillary Clinton was the real wakeup call, and has led to incessant calls for platform monopolies like Google and Facebook to censor speech that questions the dominant intelligence agency narratives. There\u2019s nothing more terrifying to an entrenched power structure than a loss of the narrative, and the election of Trump proved to them that they lost it. The American establishment isn\u2019t really afraid of Trump, it\u2019s far more concerned that his election signified a loss of narrative control.<\/p>\n

Narrative is particularly important to lunatics who run a global empire, and the U.S. media\u2019s almost always happy to oblige. For example, the media\u2019s enthusiasm to swallow government propaganda is what led to the Iraq war disaster, in addition to so many other societal tragedies I write about here on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
