When This Blows Over

Without understanding how the CCP views the world and their place in it,
one will never be able to anticipate the threat. In the West, each crisis is
tackled according to its circumstances.
Democratic governments rush to meet the needs of its citizens. But the
CCP’s expertly designed totalitarian system affords its leaders the
benefits of seeing past their subject’s welfare to furthering the CCP
with more power and advantage. They can impose harsh policies and
can comfortably accept the inevitable scorn of having allowed a
pandemic to escape their borders, because in a global game of Go high
risk yields high reward.
In the aftermath, we will endlessly debate whether the #CCPVirus
was deliberately created and released, or a freak of nature. The debate will
be used to deflect attention that the CCP deliberately created the global
pandemic. The United States also tends to project our democratic system
onto the CCP, and loses sight of the fact that controlling the vast
authoritarian enterprise is a mixture of entrepreneurship and direct action,
without the humanitarian spirit. In other words, most are doing it for the
money, while some are deliberately directed.
The book “Unrestricted Warfare” has documented this all. The work was a
perfectly designed guide for manipulating the post-Cold War world. Until
one can see the world from the adversary’s point of view, one will be ever
at a disadvantage. But all is not yet lost. It’s time to protect, encourage
and let loose the one antidote to the CCP pandemic, the enduring
American spirit to throw off and be free from tyranny.
