As China Crumbles, Progressive Mind Tricks Brainwash U.S. to Think It's a Mighty Empire

Progressive mind tricks brainwash U.S. to think communist China is a mighty empire, but behind the scenes skyscrapers crumble, food gets made from poison, and even a majestic aircraft carrier proves to be a floating Potemkin Village. Bill Whittle has the video, and a message of hope for the American republic.

I had the opportunity of listening to the clip without being influenced by any subtitles. I thought what I was hearing was Chinese at first, then the chant lost some if its accent and it sounded like a chant in an American bar, Mouses in houses.

Bill, thanks so much for a most excellent episode. This is why I will remain a supporter of the BWN as long as I am around. You have a gift for communicating the truth. Keep telling it.

Excellent message! Once again, the only way the Devil wins is by convincing you that he doesn’t exist. I too visited the People’s Republic (of China, not California) several times on business and was so thoroughly appalled that I vowed never to return – a place where you can see the air between you and anything 300 ft. away. Where a factory’s clean room employs big theater of making visitors step on adhesive mats to remove dirt, then blows clean air over your clothes to remove lint…..only to have you walk in and find huge bay doors open to the outside air (that you can see) – it’s all for show.

I have to jump in and echo what Charles Dawson said. My bona fides are business travel to China, HongKong and Taiwan since 1998. My last trip was December 2019. It was my 60th business trip to the area.
I’ve watched China change from the early years of 2000, where ALL building construction was just like you showed in your MBTA. I recall at one “mall”, done up in a mediterranean style, where the entire plaster ceiling collapsed onto the pedestrian walkway, I saw it fall. No one injured but if there had been people walking at that spot, they’d have been killed. The very next afternoon, the ceiling was plastered once more AND PAINTED. The plaster never cured out, due to the immediate painting of the surface, and 5 days later the ceiling collapsed again, this time there were injuries. This is one of so many examples I’ve personally experienced. The other classic was the factory I work with, when the built their huge complex, the cement concrete floor in each of the individudal buildings, sank 3 feet. Contractors failed to drive anchors deep into the earth to insure this would not happen. All the floors had to be jackhammered , rubble removed, and redone. The contractor even tried to use the rubble as fill, but was prevented from doing so.
Fast forward 10 years. China began to let Western engineering and design firms come in to build buildings for clients. Using western standards and practices of construction, these buildings are still standing 11 years later and gleaming. Clients shy away now from local design and engineering firms if they want to avoid lawsuits and collapsing buildings. Those who can’t afford it stay with the local contractors, who continue their cheap ways.
Last example. Small crappy industrial countryside village of maybe 1 million people outside of Shenzhen, I had to travel there often to visit a factory. For years the buildings lining the main thoroughfare were crap, falling apart, exposed electrical wires so low you could touch them, stench of sewage. President for Life Winnie the Pooh comes into power, and the next time I have to visit this area, it’s Gleaming! All new buildings, new sidewalks, new road through town, underground services, amazing. That is until I checked into the hotel, went up to my 10th floor room, and looked out the window. Beyond the 4 feet of building facades, it was still the same crappy city, same dangerous electrical wires, and get one block off the main street, you could see where they redirected the sewage and stench. In otherwords, all fake, all window dressing. Some things just don’t change.
I’ll wrap by saying that Dec 2019 was my last trip. I am refusing to go back and work in China. Have told my company as much. Politics, Wuhan flu, and just way too many chances taken in the past on China built high speed rail, tunnels, bridges, etc for me to return. I’m done. I’ll work stateside until retirement. I’m so over it.

And again, BTW, the Taiwanese , as Steve Green says, are the good Chinese. They are awesome, kind people who work hard and don’t rip people off. I hope they survive. They’re trying.

I am reminded of a conversation I had with a professor from our local university. He maintained that the Soviet economy was successful for a substantial time. I replied that his observation was akin to a man who jumped out of a thirty story building. Everything was fine on the way down until he hit the pavement. The difference between ideology and reality is illustrated by your commentary.

It’s wonderful to hear you being positive, Bill. I live in Japan, so China’s belligerence is very close to home. Japan also imports a great deal of stuff from China, but the Japanese government not long ago started offering fairly major incentives to Japanese companies to get out of China, essentially causing heart failure in a lot of Chinese officials. The Chinese economy is in acute danger of collapsing fairly completely, with or without major disasters caused by the collapse of such things as the 2-Gorges Dam.

I thought you might have been making a statement about the collapse that it didn’t dam 3 gorges, only 2. Works either way. 😉

One of your best videos ever, Bill, and that’s saying something. I’ve heard rumbles and rumors about China’s “Potemkin village” mentality for a while now, but I saw it first hand when I was on a work assignment in Uganda in 2015.

As part of the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese construction companies are everywhere in East Africa, “building infrastructure.” I stayed in one of the best hotels in Entebbe, built by the Chinese. Looked great from the street, but inside it was like one of those “You Had One Job” photo essays on the Chive: mismatched or crooked power outlets, doors that couldn’t open fully because they banged a protruding wall, floor tiles that didn’t quite line up with the wall, stairways that went an inch or two too far. And I was warned not to open my eyes or let any water get in my mouth while I showered, because the water purification is not up to snuff and whites have no resistance to the parasite that lives in the water that is, apparently, piped directly out of Lake Victoria.

The worst, though, were the road crews. All African workers, but Chinese supervisors. The road surfaces were so sub-standard that they were crumbling almost as fast as they could be built, unable to withstand the buses that run between towns. (The streets in Entebbe and Kampala, built I assume by the Africans–or maybe the Brits back in the day–were much sturdier.) And when the road crews knocked off for the day, if they had dug an eight-foot-deep hole in the road for a utility line or whatever… they would just throw up a single little orange cone on each side and call it good. Do you know how dark it gets in rural Uganda at night? You could be driving along and plunging to your death before you knew it.

The Chinese, ancient though their civilization might be, are like King Louie in The Jungle Book: “I wanna be like you–now give me the secret of Man’s red fire”

I travel to China on a regular basis (well, not since early 2020) because I have been involved in international education there for several years. I have visited many high schools there – I have attached a photo of myself and other educators at the entrance to one of those schools. Many of their high schools are huge, and their buildings look very impressive, but in far too many schools what you see when you look closely at the exteriors and interiors tells a very interesting story. You can see shoddy construction in many cases, and more than once I have been reminded of stage sets I have designed and/or built… something that looks impressive from a distance, but are created to temporarily impress.

Tucker Carlson reported on a story which involved the NYT deleting a whole bunch of stories from their vaunted archives used for decades as a historical record. Why? They were all Chinese propaganda pieces and the Chinese paid the NYT to print them. Yet another reason the fake news is a dumpster fire.

The Washington Post and others did the same thing. They’ve all been taking payments from China and running their propaganda…

Tucker Carlson: New York Times in China’s pockets, refused to investigate COVID origins…

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-new-york-times-china-covid-origins

Washington Free Beacon originally reported the story.

Some people are saying it’s going to take a long time to turn this ship around. I tend to disagree. From a cultural standpoint? Sure. We’re not going to get younger generations to immediately embrace overnight the value of marriage and external moral standards and women raising their children at home and rejecting abortion—though the tide is turning on those ideals with the rise of outlets like The Daily Wire and Jordan Peterson playing to a younger audience tired of social justice activists from Hollywood and academia telling them what to do, think and say and therefore receptive to building lives filled with actual purpose, meaning and freedom.

What is rapidly reaching the tipping point is the attitude of Americans toward these lying globalist communists as led by the Democrats and condoned by many Republicans. They are starting to realize that they are being conned, and if it’s one thing people hate, it’s having their good nature abused. A large part of our mission going forward is to make sure that these same Americans never forget this moment in our history when the globalists—spearheaded by the Democrats and do nothing Republicans—attacked our country by taking advantage of their generosity and goodwill.

Someone has them. That’s how the author of the original story was able to discover that the common thread was Chinese propaganda. I haven’t attempted to search for them yet.

The old saying about imitation being the most sincere form of flattery applies here. China, like the old Soviet Union, is obsessed with “catching the West”, specifically the U.S.

No doubt this goal exists because the Communists want to show the world that their system is every bit as wonderful, productive and prosperous as Western Democracy.

It’s not. It’s good to know that they can’t even come close but …

Here again are the two pillars of Western Collapse and they are every bit as rotten and weak as the ones meant to hold up those Chinese buildings.

We don’t hear about this because our corrupt media doesn’t tell us. You’d think this kind of thing would be in the news all the time but it’s not, it’s not helpful if you’re chasing Chinese Cash.

Because this information is intentionally suppressed, academia lies to its students about China and the real world historic results of socialism in general.

I don’t see things improving to the point they should if we can’t get our media to tell us what’s going on and bounce radical leftist teachers out of schools on their lying posteriors.

acts. regarding your last paragraph. 93% of k-12 teachers and admin are feminists. the remaining 7% are weak minded enabling eunuchs. there doesn’t seem to be any major initiatives brewing to eradicate these classrooms of these vermin so yes, i would agree that improvement on that front (and by definition protection of and for our future generations) would be problematic.

this is compounded by the fact that untold legions of parents are actually single mothers and they sure as hell have no interest in cleaning up or out k-12 because it’s a paid for babysitting goliath for their independence, along with free food for the kiddies and just another agenda driven entity that agrees with their boys/men bad girls/women good constructs.
k-12 is destroying america and that’s not going to change….. but that’s just me.

I was always curious where a socialist nation of a billion people gets enough money to do anything except produce and distribute food. Now I know, they cheat. That’s not a big surprise, they’ve always cheated since Mao took over. It’s good to get a lesson on how they’re cheating though. The devil is in the details.

Thanks Bill.

I understand that sometimes people hear what they want to hear. Nothing really new about that. What we need to do is reinforce another old-time saying…”Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” My parents and relatives taught us that at a very young age, which is what caused us to not stereotype people and be racists or bigots. We always checked our bias and sought first to understand the context.

As with many things, I don’t think the “enlightened” liberals check their bias, bigotry and racism, and therefore they project all of that onto the rest of us, assuming that we think as they do. We don’t. Whenever you’ve been a member of a lower/middle class or a racial/ethnic group which has received actual persecution, the last thing you want to do is be a hypocrite.

To be clear, I appreciate the value of science, but these days, the landscape is rife with examples of supposed scientists leaping to their own preconceived, biased conclusions in order to feed their egos, the value of this example to this video notwithstanding.

Great video, Bill. After the second phrase, all I was able to hear was Love Me some Peaty Scotch.
Glad to see some positivity. While I agree China is not the future, I think they are going to make the present very Ugly as there is no one around the globe currently in elected office with the cajones to stop them. They are all too busy being Neville Chamberlain.
We better start making computer chips in the US again, because when China tries to invade Taiwan and destroys some stuff, we will need domestic supply.

This is just weird. All I heard to begin with was “Let’s Go Brandon”, then it changed to “Vote for Whittle”. Are there plans for 2024 I haven’t heard about?

So…. What were they actually chanting?
I have a very old wind-up mantle clock with a fairly loud TICK-tock sound that can be heard throughout most of the house if it is quiet. I have claimed for years that I can hear words in those sounds. Right now, its saying “KISS-me KISS-me”. Anyway, I know its just my perception, but it’s kinda fun (and sometimes rather disturbing) to see what the subconscious mind comes up with.
I’d still like to know what the chant was.

The actual chant was “Vote for Whittle”. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Unless that’s Ann Margret chanting, then I will agree with you.

Donald – today is another day, please share your story. In turn I might share how I met Maureen O’Hara in a NYC Irish Pub.

maureen ohara was smokin’ hot in her day. i was in the hospital in outside of tokyo camp zama (wounded in vietnam). margret, george sauer and joe namath came into the ward. namath and sauer were on the other side. ann margret asked me where i was from said hello and get well soon. then she sat down on the end of my bed and started talking to the guy next to me…who was way worse than me. that’s it. they left. i stayed.

Ann Margaret definitely all woman.
My soon to be wife and I were visiting family in NYC and my brother and his wife decided to play tour guide (twin towers, Rockefeller plaze and St. Patrick’s, etc) we ended the day at an Irish bar. I went to the head, and when I got down there was a flaming red-haired, strikingly lovely lady with every “Kiss Me I’m Irish” type of button on her green vest. Waiting in line we started talking, she had an “aid” with her I think. We chatted for about 10 minutes, she with a very thick accent and espousing all things Irish and telling me I should stop playing Rugby and try a man’s game of Gaelic Football. I thought I was having a conversation with a charming older lady, she patted my face and said nice chatting, grabbed my hand and said, I’m Maureen. The dawn finally broke. When I got back my brother had been ready to send out the search parties thinking I got mugged. They didn’t believe my story. Then she came by patted my arm and cheek again and said, lovely talking to ya, “Ron”. I thought my brother was going to Shiite himself. She was probably early to mid 70s at the time. Can’t believe it took me so long, but her accent was so thick.

One of your best…out of so many, which is no small feat. The power of perception is strong and as you say, our internal and external enemies know that and practice it with skill and effectiveness. But it is an illusion, and while some will believe it, there are more who do not. We’re quiet, mostly invisible because we don’t require the glaring spotlight to illuminate our humble understanding of right and wrong, truth and lies. With voices like yours and many others fighting against the insidious and pernicious propaganda assaulting our culture our enemies cannot win.

The Chinese intentional neglect of quality and durability has always been a joke in the US. “Made in China” is simply the definition of junk.

I think Bill is wrong. China doesn’t want or need to destroy America; it only wants and needs to be hegemonic. And it is. Yes, its buildings fall down because its domestic focus is unconcerned about that. But it also makes our phones and tablets and TVs and solar panels and medicines, and … on and on, and they are all as reliable as they need to be. And on the military, Bill sounds like such a Cold Warrior. I bet China understands perfectly its carrier’s limitations, but also knows military power via such machines doesn’t matter any more. China has Will and America today does not. If China chooses to invade Taiwan, what will Biden do? What will any current US military chief do? Nothing. China is ramping up pressure on Taiwan almost every month now, and nobody cares to do or say anything that matters. No, aircraft carriers don’t matter any more. They are for show. (And is the US military really hooked up? Maybe – Bill knows more than I do, but he is hardly neutral here, and didn’t he recently say the Pentagon deserves to be razed to the ground? Someone sensible did.) And China has its hooks in enough Western assets to continue to steal IP for ever with complete impunity. I agree China is not the future, but that is largely because of its demographics. But at this rate, neither is the US as we know it, despite its genius for innovation – also largely because of demographics.

The unmentioned problem is that there are fewer and fewer voices in our elite/political class/academic/media leadership who are interested/capable/brave enough to remind us of America’s essential greatness and goodness.
I do not know of any other time in our history that this was true.
I do not know of any civilization anywhere/any time who survived when it lost the will to defend itself.

correctomundo alan. the paradigm (perhaps construct) of lower expectations not only from others but of ourselves is coming from k-12 and has infested our entire nation from top to bottom like a cancerous puss.

at some point the bridge becomes too weak to support the weight and simply collapses into the gorge. the good guys don’t always win and america is being overrun, or is that run over, by anti-american bloodsucking arboreals.

the emasculation of american boys and men is traceable and that’s where and when this all started, the downward spiral of civilization being the inevitable and predictable train wreck. we actually enable our own destroyers of worlds.

China may not be the future, but they are very much the present. I could go on at length, but off of the top of my head, China:
Influences our media, entertainment, and has even shoved Marxism into our major sports leagues
Has great sway over the universities and has pushed Marxism as far down into the grade school level
Controls how many of our politicians? We have a Rep who once threatened to use nuclear weapons on Americans who was under the infuence of a Chinese spy. Does he resign or go to jail? He remains in the Intelligence Committee
Stolen tech, supply chain issues – China might be a house of cards, but I’d love to look behind the curtain to see how much they’re driving whoever is giving Biden* his marching orders

bill panders to the weak much more than he ever did. i know the EXACT day that started and why.

Cultural, yes, but we are loosing our inventiveness generation by generation. If we do not turn around, “Idiocracy” (brilliant movie, by the way) is just around the corner here in America.

I knew you were right about the audio before you even played it, but it is still shockingly amazing to experience it. It’s wild! And a little scary.
