“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

Yeah that's the unsupported US state dept propaganda I was mainly talking about.

We know what genocide in the 21st century under an authoritarian regime that has complete and total control over the flow of information looks like, thanks to Israel. The Palestinian genocide is the most well documented genocide in history, despite Israel entirely controlling the access to technology, press, and internet, with a tighter grip than China.

Uighurs aren't under going a genocide. You can visit Xinjiang right now, without a tour guide. You can bring whatever tech you want and post whatever you want.

Was China harsh in their initial crackdown of allegedly radicalized elements among the poverty stricken population 20 years ago when 9/11 was still fresh in everyone's minds and the US government was invading a half dozen countries causing terror groups to flee to other countries and start cells there? Sure.

But fewer people of uighur descent were killed or imprisoned over the last 50 years in China, per capita or by total number, than black people were by the us last year.

If that's the basis for genocide, then boyo every country on the planet has committed genocide and is committing genocide.

Well, yeah, because the US has been waging a genocide since its founding.

Intentionally misdefining the word genocide doesnt make you right tho

What part of uighur culture was erased, exactly, by funding schools, arresting foreign violent religious extremists, and building affordable housing?

Are you saying uighurs are all violent, uneducated, homeless people and should remain that way due to their culture?

Just a reminder before you do the next state dept line, there are more mosques in every major Chinese city than there are in the state of New York.

You know you can go to China yourself and verify that's false.

No thanks, i dont go to countries that dont allow gay marriage. Thats regressive as fuck. I wouldnt feel safe to be myself there.

You can get married to whomever you like in China, you just don't get the tax break. And yeah, that sucks they're a decade behind the US on that one subject, tax breaks for gay couples, while being a century ahead in other subjects.

I dont feel safe in a country that treats me like a second class citizen. Aside from the fact that non citizens dont have the same protections non citizens do in the us.
