BREAKING NEWS ~ Continuously Updated

Onawah thank you for posting about chinese matters , but imho its difficult to take these ´entertaining style´ China shows seriously.even if its news is (partially?) true ,because me personnally cant watch the sensationalistic reporting style like the one above. And many of these shows are -for me-way too long to absorb . Here in Thailand i meet more and more chinese people and they make me aware that most of the news we receive in the west is often fake or incomplete .so i´m careful who to listen to ,and whom to ´believe´.

Whilst it is certainly true that the West has its fair share of fake news and incomplete reporting, when the entity that you're reporting ABOUT spouts NOTHING BUT lies (basically), then you'd be well advised not to take moral lessons from that entity. Chinese people here in China are mostly morons who listen uncritically to government propaganda, in my humble opinion, based on experience. I don't say they are morons because of racism - I say they are mostly morons because that's my considered opinion. They basically ALL have the same opinion about any issue on which the government has an opinion. All have the same opinion on Taiwan; all have the same opinion on Donald Trump; all have the same opinion on the Russia versus Ukraine thing; etc etc. One month, they are told to boycott Japan. So that month, anyone with a Japanese car gets their car damaged. The next month, it's something else.

A month or two ago, people would make conversations with me, and invariably (for about a week or so), start referring to some thing that the British and French did in Shanghai a hundred and fifty years ago. Every single stranger with whom I spoke to for more than a couple of sentences (plus a fair proportion of people I already knew) did that for a week. Then it suddenly stopped. Never heard about it again since. This reminded me of the "five-minute hate" practised in George Orwell's 1984. It's really quite remarkable. Basically, a country of a billion people all has the same opinion about everything. They're allowed differing opinions on flavours of noodles. But on anything that counts, all the same opinion. Like an ant's nest or beehive. If mentioning that opens me to accusations of "racism", never mind. It's still what I have observed....

It's also clear to me that, whenever anybody criticises China, an army of Chinese people under the control of the CCP kicks into action putting negative comments under that person's post (on Youtube, etc). It's quite easy to recognise when someone is a shill for the CCP (and they are not always Chinese). If you lived here in China, and kept your eyes and ears open, you would see what I mean pretty quickly. Having said that, I know Westerners who've lived in China for years, who seem to be walking around with their eyes shut....Many people don't seem to look with their eyes, preferring instead to look with their ears.

Onawah: "China would have you believe that Russia is its long lost brother. That's allpolitics.
They have you believe these things because they have thousands and thousands of these Russia /China "friendship shops: that are springing up all over China, to get Chinese people to spend their hard-earned R&B in these shops to fund Russia's War efforts.
These shops sell Russian goods like chocolate and souvenirs and more, all in an effort for China to help its brother as it fights its "Justified War" in Ukraine.
But as angry Russians have found out, the vast majority of the products in these shops are counterfeit and they sell fake Russian Goods that are actually Chinese, and the money goes straight to the Chinese companies.
China betraying, lying and cheating."

I laughed when I read this. Because there IS just such a shop near where I live, selling "Russian" chocolate and other Russian stuff. I didn't think anything of it. Now I know what it's about, it's funny.

Just because the CCP doesn't use their military to intervene and invade other countries doesn't mean they aren't actively working in many countries around the globe to further their plans for global conquest.
They know that the US and other countries have superior military power and would not stand idle.
The Belt and Road Initiative is one example of their underhanded attempts to do damage and gain power in other countries , their countless thefts of intellectual property is another, and their online hacking is probably the most concerning, by which their goal is to disable whole parts of the world in various ways including taking down the Internet and electric grid.
People turning a blind eye to such trickery is exactly why the situation has become so dangerous.
The CCP's propaganda campaign is very effective.

Considering it is a nation of massive size and power, China has attempted amazingly little international "intervention" outside of its very immediate sphere.

What China may, or may not, do in its internal affairs, on the other side of the world - is something I regard as "not my business".

And many other things can be listed. I'm not a researcher in this area - I just happen to live in China at the moment - but I'm aware of some things. The "Confucian Institutes" that China installed in many Western universities (presumably in return for funding and/or promises of lots of Chinese students) were one such thing. Then a few years back, there were lots of news stories of universities closing these institutes down. I doubt we got the full story about WHY they were closing them down. Presumably the universities discovered things happening that they hadn't bargained for (like the likely fact that they were basically just spy bases). A friend of mine worked at Exeter University in the UK. She told me that the student union had a room which, for years and years, they called the "Free Tibet" room, as a protest against the CCPs occupation of Tibet. It's now called the "Tibet Room". The CCP leaned on the Chinese students at Exeter, who protested, and got the university to change the name, over the protests of the Student Union, who were ignored/over-ruled by the university.
It would be a bit of a stretch (to say the least) to argue, as Bruce C. does above, that the China doesn't do much interfering for its size. It takes lots of small actions all over the place, on a VAST scale, right the way up to openly bullying entire countries, or assisting with the wrecking of those countries, via fentanyl production, spying through software, or whatever. Anyone who doesn't believe this, try the following: put up a Youtube channel critical of China. Prepare to be amused by the number of China shills (both human and AI) posting obvious ad hominems in the comments. And see how long it is before Youtube closes you down. People also need to realise that Chinese companies ARE the CCP. Chinese companies do what they are told, or else they are closed down. As people like Jack Ma found out, being a billionaire doesn't put you beyond the CCPs reach. Nor does living in the USA.

Just a note here quickly. I am having problems with the internet sometimes and I did find this link but my net is slow and can't open the page.
It is a link that was saying there is massive outages across the internet, so just incase there are problems it might be that.

Given my current (likely not well informed) view of the CCP, if I were Chinese, from mainland China, then I would reserve my real take on controversial matters to private moments with long time trusted friends and family, and "speak the party line" right up front in other contexts or with other individuals.

Cloudflare outage results in major internet disruptions

Cloudflare said just after 8 a.m. [EST] that the issue had been identified and was in the process of being fixed

Many internet services were disrupted Tuesday as a result of major web infrastructure company Cloudflare having an internal outage.

Just before 7 a.m. ET, when online users could not get to websites, Cloudflare, one of the largest providers of internet services for websites, said that it had begun investigating the internal service issue, according to NBC News.

Amazon Web Services and X, along with several other major internet services, appeared to have been affected by the issue, according to DownDetector.com

Cloudflare said that it is focused on restoring service and would provide updates throughout the process.

The company said just after 8 a.m. that the issue had been identified and was in the process of being fixed.

=== ===

P.S. -- A couple of hours later now, I am seeing some websites are still down (10:39 AM EST).

Cloudflare outage results in major internet disruptions

Earlier this year, I put in a fair bit of effort (even causing a couple hours of partial Avalon forum outage) moving some of our forum's firewall infrastructure to Cloudflare. Now I am glad I backed off that effort, because I became concerned with having Cloudflare as a critical piece of the Avalon forum. This is the second major Cloudflare outage in recent months (though, to be honest to Cloudflare, I doubt that the portion of Cloudflare's services I was considering using were involved in their recent outages.)

NTSB has reported on the cause of the Baltimore bridge ship strike.

There were several errors with maintenance and operating procedures by the owners of the ship MV Dali in the lead-up to the incident, but the cause of the initial power failure was one little wire out of place.

One short wire, out of thousands like it in a part of the electrical control infrastructure, had not been properly connected at one end. A small plastic sleeve bearing that wire’s identification number, had slipped a fraction of an inch along the wire. This prevented the wire-end, a short bare length of the copper conductor, from properly seating into its connection socket.

The sequence of failure was fairly complex, including the failure of the attempt to get power back on line, but that wire was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Scary that such a small vulnerability created such a big and tragic mess.

"Breaking News" seems to be more of a discussion group about specific subjects, rather than a list of news bulletins that might be of interest. Just my observation as a relative newcomer. I'm not criticising anyone. But it makes me wonder if it might be possible for each specific "bulletin" to link to a separate, specific discussion for those who are interested?

Anyway, my contribution today is maybe not exactly "breaking news" but I don't know where else to put it. It's basically a monologue about evil Britain, reaching back as far as WW1:

BREAKING NEWS: MEBENDAZOLE PATENT for CANCER Treatment Uncovered!

You know those low IQ people (including many doctors) who use the term "dewormer"?

Mebendazole is an "animal dewormer" like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole.

On Sep.7, 2021, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD secured a patent for MEBENDAZOLE for this use:

1. Repurposed for Glioblastoma Therapy

(as an oral drug mebendazole polymorph C is a superior form, and it reaches the brain and brain tumors in effective concentrations)

2. May also be used for therapy of other cancers, as well as a chemo-preventative agent.

The title of the patent: "Mebendazole Polymorph for Treatment and Prevention of Tumors"

I will let that sink in.

This is what I have been working with for the past 2 years.

Everyone who has attacked me up to now, none of them ever talk about this Patent.

The WAR on terminally ill cancer patients who are exercising their "Right to Try" is real and very evil.

If you see anyone attacking me, you will know why.

My husband has Gastro Esophageal Junction Carcinoma stage 4 and has been on Chemo with the Ivermectin and Fenbendazole for 6 months and we are getting unbelievably amazing results. Keep up the good work Dr. Makis we are reaping the rewards. Thank you.

I prefer the animal dewormers. I don't trust the human ones. Plus cost. Mebendazole for people in Australia is like $35 for a tiny amout. They call it Combantrin.

Mebendazole 500mg is 20 cents per tablet on IndiaMART.

Do Not Take This Chinese Pill! You'll go Insane!

(Here is Winston's take on the matter (Winston is one of the two creators of " The China Show". Interesting synchronicity!)

"This dangerous "Shill Pill" is causing havoc worldwide!"

It's encouraging to see someone (Oliver) who has spent time in China and is willing to share the experience truthfully.
(We had another member living in China a while ago who was posting lots of propaganda about how wonderful the intentional (cult) community was there where she was living, headed by a polygamist who was fathering lots of children on community members. Until she finally escaped to Thailand...)

So thanks to Oliver, and I'm sure I don't need to caution him about staying there if he is going to continue being vocal about what it's really like in China; that being that there may be retribution from the CCP if he gets noticed.
I've often wondered if some of the technical problems the forum has been having is connected to the CCP's insane censorship policies and hacking attacks.
They shouldn't be too upset because very few members seem to be paying attention or responding to the posts I make here about the very dystopian conditions there, which are making China the tragic blueprint for the Clown World of all Clown Worlds.
But possibly there are non-members paying attention because the posts do get "views" even if few to no comments or "likes".
Though I have received thanks from some members privately, and encouragement not to quit just because it seems like the subject is getting so little attention.

If I were Chinese and living in China, I would be doing all I could to get out of there permanently and making sure all my family members did too. If one citizen escapes and begins doing things that the CCP doesn't like, they will hold the escapee's family hostage to make the truthteller quit. Which is probably why not as many people flee as you might think...

It's difficult to imagine a whole country of people becoming so traumatized and dumbed down that most of them are simply incapable of seeing the truth right in front of their eyes.
But easy enough to imagine how they could see the truth and simply be much too frightened to speak it.
Given the huge traumas the people of China have undergone since Mao, and continue to undergo, we can easily see why the novels "1984" and "Brave New World" came about and continue to be cited decades after they were written, and how what they depicted could actually come true.
And IS becoming true right before our eyes, for those who are paying attention.

Speaking to the issue John Hilton raised here:
https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1692382
There are so many threads about so many subjects on the forum, many times important posts just seem to go under the radar, but "Breaking News" gets a lot of attention so it gets used for timely issues that members just really want to bring to everyone's attention, even if it's not exactly "breaking news".
I am guilty of that myself, and I don't have any solutions to offer.
It is what it is...

I have not found anyway to determine who was really behind the attacks that caused the forum problems on and off this year. It might have been the CCP, yes.
