The virus is back! Bond formed through China’s support for India’s anti-epidemic fight overrides irrational public sentiments toward another

The virus is back, this time with more energy, tactics and camouflage.

We don't cough

No fever, it's joint pain, weakness,

Loss of appetite and Covid pneumonia!

Of course, the death rate is higher, it takes less time to get to the extreme. Sometimes no symptoms ... let's be careful ...

The strain is not domiciled in our nasopharyngeal region!

It directly affects the lungs, which means window periods are shortened.

I have seen a number of patients without fever, but an x-ray report shows moderate chest pneumonia!

The nasal swab is often negative for COVID19!

There are more and more false pharyngeal nasal tests COVID19) ... which means that the virus spreads directly to the lungs causing acute respiratory distress due to viral pneumonia! This explains why it has become acute and more fatal !!!Covid21

Be careful, avoid crowded places, wear a face mask, wash our hands often.

*WAVE* more deadly than the first. So we have to be very careful and *take every precaution.*

Indian mutated virus reached Malaysia!

Malaysia reports first case of Indian COVID-19 variant  ...

中国制氧机到了!印度网友啥反应?看清了美国的虚伪面目吗?

 

印度疫情“令人窒息” “美国优先”火上浇油

India’s COVID-19 epidemic has continued to rage on. China has become India’s largest supplier of crucial anti-epidemic supplies such as oxygen generators and ventilators. So far, China has provided India with more than 20,000 oxygen generators and 5,000 ventilators. India has submitted orders to Chinese companies to produce over 40,000 units of oxygen generators. However, Indian public opinion has not expressed its gratitude toward China for the emergency supplies, or it can be said that grateful voices have been very few. In contrast, many narratives have stressed that China's supplies are not aid, accusing China of “exploiting the opportunity to make money,” and claiming that it has "geopolitical intentions" to export these goods to India. Such rhetoric in India is in sharp contrast to their high-profile publicity on help from the US and the West. The Chinese people will certainly be disappointed after reading such opinions.

In terms of public opinion, Chinese and Indian societies have not got along well. Border tensions last year escalated sentiments on both sides, leading to a confrontation of public opinion. India has leaned closer to the US, further solidifying the social divide between China and India. This has become the background in which India is dealing with China in the face of a crisis.

China has made the greatest contribution to India’s current fight against the epidemic. Instead of being purely symbolic, China’s support and help has been very substantial. There is no atmosphere of public appreciation of China’s help in India. There is still a lot of resentment over border frictions and strategic hostility toward China. Out of a sense of pride, India has taken a lot of goods from Chinese companies, but has remained silent toward the fact. Hindustan Times has listed ten countries and regions that have started sending relief materials to India, and what kinds of materials they have supplied. But China is not on the list.

In the face of such a response from India, what should we do? Should we publicly accuse India of “repaying good with evil?” or turn our long-standing grievances toward India into mockery, even gloat about the Indian epidemic? I don’t think it is appropriate for us to be overly sensitive toward India’s reaction, especially going further to mock India's failure to fight the virus.

The official mindset of Chinese society toward India’s epidemic situation must be sympathetic and supportive of their battle against it, and this is indeed the case. I don’t think it’s proper for social media accounts of certain Chinese official institutions or other influential forces to mock India at present.

India has indeed done something wrong toward China. Even today when India is in trouble and China is lending it a helping hand, India still holds a grudge and remains narrow-minded. But currently, our prevailing attitude toward India should be still to show our sympathy and support, without being distracted by other sentiments. There is plenty of time and occasions for us to express our views regarding India. And we do not have to speak up upon them when India is struggling against the virus. We should not respond to radical voices in India, instead we should avoid escalating the spat between China and India among public opinion.

Although India has talked little about it, we have to say that China has done a magnificent job in supplying and supporting India. It is necessary for us to make the world more clearly aware of China’s actual role. Meanwhile, not like the US, the Indian government has not attacked China’s fight against the virus, nor has passed the buck to China. Currently, India is not only falling into a humanitarian disaster, but has become weak in the eyes of the rest of the world. The Chinese government proposed to offer India necessary support and assistance much earlier than Western countries. And our supplies have been provided to them with amazing speed, faster than any other country.

I understand that there are many voices and the public has their right to express various sentiments toward India. So do some figures who have many followers on social media platforms. But our public opinion, especially mainstream opinion, needs to follow the Chinese government’s narratives and moves as a whole, forming the tone of sympathy and support for India's fight against the virus. This is an indispensable part of China's national image.

We need to believe that actions speak louder than words. China’s supplies play a crucial role in India’s battle against the virus. We cannot ignore border frictions between China and India, but the bond formed through China’s substantial support to India’s anti-epidemic fight is also there. China and India are neighbors that cannot be moved away from each other. Apart from many frictions, China is India’s close neighbor which is better than a distant relative in the critical time of a crisis. As long as China does its best to bolster India’s fight against the virus, it will certainly become a factor in shaping Indians’ general perceptions of China.

China is a big country with a long history of civilization. Our national and international outlook has been shaped through thousands of years of experience. We should not be influenced by the logic of power which has been prevailing in the US and the West. When stepping up the construction of hard power, we cannot neglect the significance of “convincing people by virtue.” For China, virtue is not hypocrisy. Instead, it is our dignity and strength, which is one of the cornerstones of our international mobilization.

STILL AMRICA FIRST IN TRADE

 

Domestic drive: The US has endorsed ‘Buy American’ policies, which would favour domestic producers but would be blatantly illegal under WTO rules.

US multilateralism is coming back in many areas but in trade, many retrograde policies of the past are continuing.


AFTER the end of the Trump presidency in January, multilateralists around the world heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Gone would be the wrecking ball aimed at international institutions.

Gone would be the go-it-alone approach to dealing with global problems. Gone would be policies towards the rest of the world premised on “America First”.

Gone, hopefully, would be the capricious trade wars, some of them directed at American allies.

To a large extent, these high hopes have proved justified.

Within its first 40 days, the Biden administration has reversed many of its predecessor’s disengagements from multilateral institutions and processes.

It has rejoined the Paris Agreement on climate change, which the United States had abandoned in 2017.

It walked back to former president Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the World Health Organisation (WHO), which was due to take effect from July 6.

It has pledged US$4bil (RM16bil) for the WHO-sponsored Covax initiative which aims to distribute Covid-19 vaccines to the developing world, which the Trump administration refused to join.

It has agreed to endorse an allocation of special drawing rights – the International Monetary Fund’s hard currency – which would provide additional resources to poor countries without adding to their debt, and which former Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin had declined to support.

Given that the World Bank is the world’s biggest financier of climate change-related investments, its president David Malpass reasonably expects that the Biden administration, for which battling climate change is a priority, will be supportive of its mission.

The administration has also vowed the US’ “unshakeable” commitment to Nato, which Trump had derided as an outdated organisation that imposes excessive burdens on the US.

But there is one critical area where the Biden administration is hesitant to support multilateralism, and that is trade.

Here, multilateralists can be grateful for some small mercies.

At least the administration has affirmed its commitment to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) – the custodian and enforcer of world trade rules – which the Trump administration all but ignored during the last four years and even threatened to leave.

It has also broken the impasse over WTO’s leadership, by endorsing the candidacy of Nigerian-American economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the post of directorgeneral, which was supported by the majority of the WTO’s 164 members, but which the Trump administration had blocked.

So, after being leaderless for almost six months, the WTO now at least has someone in charge.

Modest ambitions

But beyond that, and judging by actions rather than words, the multilateralist ambitions of the Biden administration on trade appear modest.

It has made clear that it will not pursue any trade agreements until it restores America’s competitiveness by investing trillions of dollars in areas such as energy, education and infrastructure.

It has endorsed “Buy American” policies, which would favour domestic producers and would be blatantly illegal under WTO rules.

Citing “systemic problems”, it has continued the Trump administration’s policy of blocking appointments of new judges to the WTO’s appellate body, which functions as a “supreme court” that adjudicates trade disputes.

The body has been unable to issue any judgments since Dec 11, 2019, because it did not have the minimum of three members required to issue a ruling.

Currently, with all judges having completed their terms, there is not a single judge on the body. This means that any appeal against a judgment by a lower panel at the WTO disappears into legal limbo, and the judgment is not binding.

In September last year, a lower panel ruled in favour of China, which made the case that the 25% tariffs levied by the US in June and September 2018 violated the WTO’s cardinal principle of non-discrimination.

The US is appealing that judgment, but the appeal cannot be heard, as the US would know, so the tariffs will remain in place.

Indeed, the Biden administration appears in no hurry to lift the Trump administration’s tariffs on China, all of which are likely to be WTO-illegal, according to trade experts.

It wants to use these tariffs as leverage to secure concessions from Beijing, including its compliance with the phase one trade deal negotiated by the Trump administration under which China was supposed to buy US$ 200 bil worth of US goods and services split over last year and this year, but is falling short of the target.

It has also continued the Trump administration’s policy of designating Hong Kong’s exports as “Made in China”, citing “national security” concerns – which means that in the US view, that issue, too, cannot be adjudicated by the WTO.

In short, a return to multilateralism on trade does not seem to be a priority for the Biden administration.

‘Elephant in the room’

The rise of China is one of the main sources of this reticence.

Like the Republicans, Democrats believe that the WTO is not fit for purpose in dealing with all of China’s alleged trade malpractices.

The case for this is well articulated in a 2016 paper by Harvard Law School Prof Mark Wu, now a senior adviser to the US Trade Representative’s office.

He argues that the main problem is that WTO rules – which were crafted before China joined the organisation – were not made with China’s distinctive economic system in mind.

WTO rules can address only those among China’s trade malpractices which are shared by other countries – such as requiring foreign investors to partner with local firms and buy from local suppliers, or granting exclusive rights to local firms to import or sell goods in the local market – which are practices that are not unique to China, and for which case law already exists.

But problems arise in cases where the boundaries between state and private enterprises are blurred, as is often the case in China. It is then not easy to judge whether a preferential transaction is of a private commercial nature – which falls outside the WTO rules – or amounts to a state subsidy.

At the heart of the problem is what constitutes a “public body”, which in China is not as clear as in other countries.

It is widely accepted, including by WTO itself, that WTO rules need to be updated, not only relating to China but also to issues such as digital trade, competition, services, labour and the environment.

But China, which is involved in the majority of trade disputes involving major economic powers, is the “elephant in the room”.

However, updating the rules should not mean sidelining the WTO in the meantime, which is what seems to be happening.

In a departure from the unilateral approach taken by the Trump administration, the Biden administration says it plans to deal with China’s trade practices in concert with other countries.

But there is no better way to do this than in a multilateral forum like the WTO, which applies a core set of principles to trade disputes such as non-discrimination, has mechanisms to monitor and enforce its rules and which would accommodate the concerns of multiple countries, which is how multilateralism should work.

Besides, China has a good record of complying with WTO rulings that go against it, and not such a good record of caving in to bilateral pressures.

Judicial paralysis

Shutting down the WTO’s judicial function by effectively neutralising its appellate body is especially ill advised.

Some concerns about the way the body functions and its alleged “judicial overreach” may be legitimate, but even if so, this applies only to a minority of cases that the body has adjudicated.

Disabling the WTO’s appellate body prevents the majority of cases, including those unrelated to China, from being resolved.

Besides, for all the criticisms levelled against it, the appellate body has a proud record.

In its 25 years of operation, it has resolved 195 disputes compared with around 160 cases completed in 74 years by the International Court of Justice, with 15 standing judges. Moreover, it has disposed of cases within a few months on average, compared with a few years in the case of other international adjudicating bodies.

Recounting these achievements in her farewell speech on Nov 30 last year, the last appellate judge to finish her term, Dr Zhao Hong, pointed out: “Though there was room to improve, the appellate body distinguishes itself for its outstanding performance among all international adjudicating bodies.”

By continuing to paralyse its functioning, the Biden administration undermines multilateralism and perpetuates the law of the jungle on trade issues, where might is right.

So while the administration has made a good start by re-embracing multilateralism in many areas, its trade policies still leave much to be desired.

Diplomatic realpolitik

 

AS double-think runs wild in the White House, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) of Saudi Arabia must be enjoying a quiet chuckle. Diplomatic realpolitik has been accorded precedence over the severe action that was expected of President Joe Biden in the context of the US intelligence report that the Crown Prince was complicit in the ghastly killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018.

The Washington Post columnist was allegedly drugged and his body dismembered. Every tenet of human rights was thus violated.

By advancing what they call a “free pass” to MBS, America’s President has proffered a feeble excuse to justify his defence of the de facto leader of the desert kingdom. Biden, who had referred to Saudi Arabia as a “pariah kingdom with no redeeming social value” in course of his election campaign, has now softened his stance to a dramatic degree.

It thus comes about that in the somewhat surprising reckoning of the US President, the price of directly penalising Saudi Arabia’s crown prince is “too high”.

He may be right when viewed through the prism of certitudes of foreign policy.

The US President was reportedly convinced by his newly formed national security team that there was no way to formally bar the Saudi crown prince from entering the United States or to take a call on the criminal charges against him.

Altogether, it was feared by the current US administration that a drastic reprisal would have breached the equation with one of America’s key Arab allies, not to discount the flutter within the Arab region generally.

There is said to have been a consensus in the White House that the price of that breach was quite “simply too high” in terms of Saudi cooperation in the fight against terrorism and in confronting Iran.

Biden had been urged by a section of the establishment to at least impose the same travel restrictions against the Crown Prince as the Trump administration had imposed on others involved in the plot.

The White House appears to have drawn a fine distinction between MBS and the Saudi military. While the Crown Prince is unlikely to be invited to the United States in the immediate perspective, the establishment has denied that the Saudi ruler is being given a “pass”.

It is pretty obvious though, that the coveted International Visitor Program (IVP) will not be denied to the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince. Going by the terms of protocol, he may yet be treated as a state guest in America.-Reuter

US gains limited from changed China policy


 

The year 2019 has been one in which US sought to reconstruct its relations with China.

First, the US reset the premise of its policies toward China. From former president Bill Clinton to Barack Obama, Washington used to consider living with a rising China conditionally as the precondition; but since Donald Trump took office, he has changed the relatively friendly premise into a hostile one. Trying to slow down China's development and preventing the country from surpassing or even replacing the US have become the real intention of his China policy.

Second, the US reframed its relations with China, taking economic and trade ties as the turning point, as well as putting in more efforts in diplomacy, security, politics and culture. The key tools in its reconstruction of economic and trade ties were the war of tariffs, technology and finance.

During 2019, the trade war launched by the US against China saw many ups and downs. The number of products on which the two sides slapped duties reached an unprecedented scale. With the escalating tech war against China, the US Commerce Department added Huawei and 70 affiliates to its "entity list." Besides, China was listed as a currency manipulator by the US Department of Treasury.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration carried out a whole-of-government approach to compete with China and imposed all-round pressure on China.

The US has continued to meddle in Taiwan-related affairs. The Trump administration approved the sale of 66 F-16 fighters to Taiwan in August, the biggest military transaction between the US and Taiwan. Then US National Security Advisor John Bolton's meeting with Taiwan's National Security Council (NSC) head David Lee in the White House in May indicated the upgrade of US-Taiwan relations, which happened for the first time since 1950s.

Most seriously, the US was trying to promote Taiwan's status as a sovereign state. In the Indo-Pacific Strategy Report issued by US Department of Defense, Taiwan was publicly listed as a country; and the Coordination Council for North American Affairs was changed into Taiwan Council for US Affairs.

In 2019, US so-called freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea were much more aggressive. The China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was also besieged and smeared by the US. The US Indo-Pacific Strategy is meant to counter China's BRI.

Additionally, the US has stepped up competition with China politically and ideologically and kept attacking China's political system.

In terms of the issues of Xinjiang and Hong Kong, US interference was way more blatant than before. The US even passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, in order to legalize its future interference in the Hong Kong issue. Moreover, the US attacked China's governance in Xinjiang. Not only did the Ministry of Commerce impose export control over 28 Chinese business entities, but the US Department of State also announced visa restrictions against Chinese officials and their relatives. US Congress, furthermore, passed the so-called Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act, keeping up the pressure on China even more.

The series of measures the Trump administration employed to restructure the China-US relationship framework are aggressive.

The Trump administration is trying to change the way China and US interact. It believes that Washington should abandon the engagement policy and cooperation should give way to strategic competition and that the US must pressure China to make concessions. That being the case, the Trump administration has changed the approach of engagement and hedging, reduced engagement and cooperation, and increased confrontation and conflicts with China.

When some hawks within the Trump government talk about China-US competition, what they really want are confrontation and conflict. Many working-level dialogue mechanisms established during the George W. Bush and Obama administrations are no longer in operation. Now Washington resorts to trade, technological and financial wars as well as sanctions. How far can the US go in this way?

First, it depends on how much price the US is willing to pay. Competition, decoupling, confrontation, and non-cooperation all come at a price. The US-launched trade war against China has impacted US agricultural and manufacturing industries and forced consumers to pay more, while the technological war has put the US high-tech industry under risk of losing the Chinese market. Escalating military competition with China means a significant increase in US military expenditure. Restricting China-US people-to-people exchanges will also cause losses to American universities and research institutions.

In fact, with the negative effects of the Trump administration's China policy increasingly becoming apparent, doubts within the US have grown. Although the US elites have generally reached a consensus on a tougher stance against China, they have yet to agree on how much price the US can pay.

Second, China-US relations are the result of bilateral interactions and cannot be unilaterally decided by the US. Facing heightened US pressure, China is exploring more effective ways to respond. Beijing is not afraid of competition.

Finally, the attitudes of the international community and the US allies matter. The China policy and other foreign policies of the Trump administration not only aimed at maximizing US interests, but also have the features of protectionism and unilateralism. The trade war against China has damaged global industrial and value chains, undermining the interests of other countries including US allies.

To sum up, although the US has benefited from its China policy recalibration, its gains are limited. How far will the US move to restructure its relations with China go? It hinges on the changes in US domestic politics as well as China's will and art in wrangling with the US.

China's strategic willpower leads to progress

China is not the most powerful country. But it is strong enough to defend its philosophy of seeking truth from facts. Sometimes, justice and correctness need to be proven through games and tested by time. China has the ability to create conditions for that. This is perhaps what strategic willpower means.

How should China develop in the 2020s?

China has been moving forward. It is a bit tired, but China has been doing great.

This is real journalism. Thanks much for this!

Hong Kong violence is supported by NED. A lot of evidence show that.

This is simply incredible work. A huge Thank you!!! So incredible.

NED is funding Hong Kong protests too
71
Everyone inside that room should be rounded up and shot for crimes against humanity.
33
The latest NED atrocity is the violent riots in HK, aimed to prevent China from extraditing criminals to stand trail in China. The stupids in HK fell for it, heralding doom to their safety and prosperity. without the law, HK will continue to be a dream safe heaven for international criminals.

The inimitable Mr. Max Blumenthal strikes again! Well done! This is phenomenal investigative documentary journalism, as informative as it is watchable.

Pelosi talking about DPR Korean people's "poverty of spirit" is the most racist thing I have ever heard.
171
How can anyone still believe a word that comes out of the bankers' owned corporate media. It is an obvious propaganda tool. Nothing more. You'd have to be willfully blind to still believe their stories. Excellent video Grayzone. Really well done and researched. Thank you very much for your amazing and really important work.
59
Wow! The quickness on those roaches diseased legs is phenomenal when even the smallest bit of light is shed on them, its outstanding!
54
China recently executed many CIA agents trying to undermine their government. The South Korean and North Korean gov should likewise do to these foreign agents.
77
After seeing how Western media distorted the true picture in the recent Hong Kong riots, I believe what you say is true. Thanks for standing up for the truth! This is just one of the many videos showing what the so-called peaceful demonstrators did. But the Western media called this a peaceful demonstration. If this had happened in USA the rioters would have been shot by the national guards.https://youtu.be/l-OkMoAznqI

55
These are demons.

West has some of the biggest psychopathic maniacs the world has ever seen, they are an abomination, nature gone wrong ! Whether it is neocons, zionists, sociopaths, Christian Zionists, military industry, wow the list is endless !
78
So important, Thank you Max! The unelected power establishment needs to be held responsible and pushed to the light. I mean, how can the Chairman of the NED say "We're for open societies" and still work with taxpayer money of people who don't have a clue where their tax money is going to? It's the opposite of "open" government. It's shady!
53
I always have faith in Max's reports. Sometimes I wish I didn't. The Nancy Pelosi "interview" (20:24) was just sooo embarrassing. "I don't know what they do..."  Where do people find hope for the future?
65
THANK YOU,this is excellent.

58
NED ought to promote democracy in the united states. And Leave other countries alone.
25
Great documentary, really respect your work. On another note, you should try to investigate Middle Eastern media outlets such as Radio Sawa and Al-Hurra (which are both funded by the US government). Maybe they have something to do with NED and IRI's Middle Eastern agenda since they're both pushing pro-American as well as pro-Israeli narratives on their respective media platforms.
28
Wish TYT Progressives do work of investigative reporting like this

I learned about NED when I researched the violent riots in HK. This is a shameful organization with objectives to instill riots and instability in other countries. Shameful!!!

Thanks Greyzone. You'd showed it fact & fake, black & white, so clear, not grey at all. You only make more grey hairs on the NED head.
6
NED seems to be a riot-booster and spying organization. Americans tax players money.
2
Once again Mr Max, thank you very much for all your efforts digging into these difficult and "hidden" subjects and bringing the truth into light!
1
..nd thereby making the US the biggest terror nation in the world. Shocking, positively shocking.
13
WOW, tax payer's money goes to there each every day.
6
Endowment for Democracy (NED) = Evil organization National Endowment for Demonization.
1
NED is the root cause of the world turmoil and tragedy.
14
nancy pelosi and 57 other ned members/supporters/soul sellers disliked this magnificent reporting.
1
Lies to prevent the engagement or the exchange of information are being funded by tax payers. God are we sick, and we kill like maniacs.
7
lying is how the devil and Satan rules the world.
6
so called Democracy, =Demon+cracy👿
2
These people surely found a way to make money, thanks for exposing these traitors.
13
"Promoting democracy" means something completely different to me, than these war mongerers.
11
Great great work! Thanks from China where its city HongKong are facing riot funding by NED.
12
thunbs up for you- a honest media.
6
I love you Max Blumenthal, your journalism is real. It is a source of inspiration to, for once, have someone who undoubtedly delivers the truth to the masses.
5
US should be the last one talking of Human Rights after that record. It's like a serial addict giving lectures on abstinence.
1
I've long held that the US is effectively the world's largest, and most destructive, TERRORIST organization! Real journalism is proving me right all along...
7
Max (to NED official) : "May I ask you a question?" / NED: "Are you Sidney [Blumenthal]'s son?" / Max: "Yes." / NED: "I heard about you." / Max: "Is that a no?" / NED: "Yes." Some badge of honor!! Bravo, Max Blumenthal!! Great work!!

anybody believe North Korea defector? no me!
1
They just funded the riot in HK....has been proven NED is largest donator of HK protestor organizers
18
Unbelievable!! Right out in the open! With OUR MONEY!!

The US NED is active is Hong Kong as we speak.

Nancy Zombie Pelosi talking about 'brainwashing'.......hahahahahahahahahahaha !!.....hahahaha !

Not just Socialist governments, any government which does not bend over to the will of the US govt.

Great job on your coverage! I learn more everyday thanks to you and many others.

Great job! wonderful piece of independent journalism in these times of uber state/MSM propaganda!!

Well done Max Blumenthal. This is real journalism.

Today NED is meddling in HK!

Odd how he asked who he was. At the end 😆 I love every min of news like this helps people know how to see thru the illusions out there!!

As Ret Col L. Wilkerson put it in a nutshell (para): Right now we have two colossal battles going on between two titanic state-building efforts: one started in 1947, coming to fruition in the cold war, and now called by scholars, “The National Security State.” And the raison d’etre of that state is to have war… constant war… to keep the Military Industrial Complex, that Eisenhower warned us about, rich and bountiful! On the other hand, you have the Koch inspired… and now the well-fueled predatory capitalistic state which is aiming at making capitalism ballistic and so forth and making billionaires the plutocrats that rule this country! Those two states right now, having contiguous elements…that is to say the Military Industrial Complex – a company like Lockheed Martin – will be in the predatory capitalist state and vice versa. They are having a titanic struggle though, intellectually and realistically, on the ground as to who runs this country in the future. And NEITHER STATE HAS THE REMOTEST CONCERN FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS, OR ABOUT FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY OR LIBERTY! They ONLY HAVE CONCERN FOR THEIR STATE-BUILDING EFFORTS: the one - leading to more wealth for fewer people, and the other – leading to more war and wealth to their people. [The “Permanent War State” Aims to Plunder Venezuela - Wilkerson and Jay @fjsA]

What this defectors do. And their supporters do is political warfare.
4
US: if you don't listen to us, I will destory you. China: hold on US: hey, those protesters in Hong Kong are heroes.

so what is democracy, US is the culprit who has created unrest
1
Thanks for the video. I'm sharing it wherever I can. !
1
Well done Max. You are the Superman of journalists.
11
See if you can run the audio through a compressor to automatically equalize the sound levels. This is very important work. Now for the easy part. Your video software may already have "compress/expand" and "normalize" for audio. You'll be experts in 10 minutes if you practice on small clips. Thank you Greyzone!
11
4:30 Oh, that girl. A delight for body language analysis. 17:50 Madeleine Albright, child mass murder advocate

more people need to know about this
6
SOMEONE SHOULD BLOW THEM ALL UP IN ONE PLACE! I hate evil people, especially corporate types.
9
This is really important work. Keep it up.
1
Democracy leads to rise of working class, and the rise of working/labor class leads to socialism.

The NED exists to protect the American bourgeoisie's global interests
5
Thank you Max for real report
6
Wish I could give this 100 thumbs up. This is why I'm a monthly Patreon donor. Such excellent journalism!!

A lot of people hugged Hitler and German warcriminals. For starters , ask the USA and Henry Ford.

This video is awesome! thank you! so glad I found this channel!
10
Thank you so much for your hard work and courage to show us the truth. Real journalism like this is truly rare and precious in the world today. Thank you! Thank you!
16
Are these people involved in the Hong Kong's 2019 protest?
12
Doesn't Amazon own New York Times? Or is it a different tabloid? I can't remember which one it is.

Max,..will you please run for president!? Thank you for your dedication to presenting the 'stubborn facts',...that the american government tries so hard to conceal behind their flimsy and unsubstantiated veil of 'democracy', and 'freedom and justice for all'. The Empire wears no cloths,....Thank you Max, and all at Grayzone.

Hong Kong said: "hi, daddy!"
6
Wow. This is a new level of revelation for me. True journalism is a form of heroism. Thank you! ❤

Bari Weiss is a clueless tool doing the bidding without knowing it of the wealthy and owners of the media. She doesnt even know why she thinks things if you watch the Joe Rogan podcast with her on it.

Is that like the Democracy they gave to Libya

Now they put their dirty hands on Hong Kong.

excellent reporting, thank you Max!

Well done Max! A great piece
7
He gets good interviews when he's not confrontational about it. People open up when they feel like you're on their side or persuadable.

10:40 Pelosi is confusing her own SF district with NK.

There are No Democracy in US..no more..the most corrupt nation...

Max Blumenthal is an excellent journalist. This all sounds like Iraq all over again and we're paying for it.

Excellent work!! Keep it up Grayzone!
4
Max, you a true inspiration for journalism and future journalists. Big kudos for your work !
2
All is a fabrication, nothing is real. Everyone has an agenda. Make your story sound good and you will get heard. It is the money, a power that corrupts.
4
no wonder fda usda and epa AND TRUMP endorse napalming crops with glyphosatan herbicide just a few days before harvest --- it makes all of us at least a little bit sicker --- and thus keeps the vicious-cycle pharma/poizion-based economy healthy for certain privileded greedy sadistic corporate fascist motherfrackers with the sworn agenda to infiltrate, sabotage, corrupt, and enslave and destroy everything pure and natural and good just to piss off jesus --- who got whacked for exposing the synogog of satan's ( practice of selling animals for sacrificing in the temple --- as if sacrificing innocent critters is a way to have sins forgiven ! ) guess who gets to be the sacrificial animals these daze --- all of us pesky honest to goodness indigenous schmucks . (the proverbial meek who were fortold will inherit the earth) i'm telling all of yawl it's SABOTAGE ! "victory through deception" is on the mfn mossad logo for christsakes . give credit where credit is due . b less gullible. lets turn the table on those evil masterminds and not-see flunkys hellbent on imprisoning the planet in one worldwide-wireless concentration cramp.

Ughh, United States is such a hypocrite! And Nancy friggin Pelosi right in the middle of it.
8
I've been studying a lot of this stuff for some time now, I didnt know the group was called NED but I knew about things like this, didn't realize what a specific and massive role they've played. The part where the founder says "I know about you..." is kind of ominous.
4
If you havent worked it out the CIA and America are their to put right wing pro corporate govts in charge to take the power from the workers and people and to privatise the world with the ultra wealthy corporates in charge of all the means of production and resources. And in the end the ultimate power and control of everyone.

The whole Yeltsin affair is the reason why I laugh at the US's whole debacle of "Russian interference". Good riddance, have a taste of your own medicine.

Heh I would expect it to at least be as bad as South Korea. My family from there tells me some pretty awful things about the social issues.
5
The access Max has to the nefarious goings-on with these scumbags is priceless. REAL journalism here.
1
Nowadays, people don’t believe in facts, they just believe dramatic story.

Important video! Great journalism! Will share!
2
Btw I’d love to see there books and how much money was funneled to “free market/lynching enthusiasts” in Venezuela.
4
That last clip was funny. "Are you Sydney Blumenthal's son?"
7
Same companies are censoring alternative medicine, NIH-sourced science, natural alternatives to pharma and education about mandatory medical procedures ... government-mandated injection of toxins with no valid science to defend the practice but a massive marketing campaign to create fear (measles or N Korea ... same mechanisms!)
1
That guy gave a shout out to your dad! I have been a fan of Max Blumenthal for a while, but now I have to look up mr. Sidney Blumenthal, because I can already tell he is the kind of guy I will like!

Thank you so much, for this work...we need to know the Truth..

Thanks so much for this riveting, informative programme , the question is how and do we really need scum like we have running our countries, are having psychos necessary ingredient for running countries.

Good to look back to this document and great journalism.

US citizens funded and funds the Government and majority of them choose their Government who made the "#American #Values" to become: #Oil Thirsty, #Gold Hungry, #War #Mongering, War #Criminals and more War #Crimes.

America itself is infected by the covetous parasite we all know about. It’s goal is to destroy ethnic and cultural identity worldwide.

Watch out from these NED related groups..men.Thank you very much!
1
Thanks Max, such great work! Just want to know what US tax payer thoughts of this.
1
It's all about $$$$ and visas...the secret invasion...

I didn't realize that Nancy Pelosi was so explicitly supportive of NED. I would have thought that she opposed regime change operations.
7
"Iraqi soldiers throwing Kuwaiti incubator babies on the floor", the young girls speech reminds me of that!

An open society is a society open to corporate control for the purpose of extracting wealth..

Wow! Thanks for the exposing! We should spread this video clip worldwide. Overthrowing regime becoming an evil industry... 👎

lol at how the Trots are involved in this NED imperialism

Keep exposing these blood sucking vampires, keep doing the great work you do. Very illuminating video, lots of things to talk about this evening that's for sure. Btw, I just subscribed.

love you Max...thanks bro.

I wonder how many christian fundamentalists there are in the n.e.d. ?

CONGRATULATIONS FOR DOING JOURNALISM
2
You guys do a phenomenal job here at the Grayzone. Just about every video I've watched has been fantastic. However, I would quibble about a couple things on this one, largely on strategic grounds. I don't think it's a good look to, at the beginning of this video, refer to the NED as a "taxpayer-funded organization...that aims to topple socialist governments" and then spend much of the rest of the video documenting the NED's efforts to undermine the governments of North Korea and Nicaragua. It seems to imply that the current North Korean and Nicaraguan regimes are socialist, when in fact they are nothing of the sort, unless one strains the definition of "socialist" so much that the term becomes meaningless. Both regimes are enemies of the left and any kind of genuine socialism. I suspect you would agree with this assessment, but I think it would help enormously if you stated this fact up front in order to defend your work against disingenuous attack dogs. I want to stress that I have no problem with the substance of what's presented here, most of which is excellent, but when putting together these pieces, it's important to take measures to protect yourself from mainstream mudslinging, which I'm sure will become more and more often as you guys gain popularity. Keep up the good work!
4
...”but... but there’s only one channel on tv... and no internet”... Good god child... you’ve no idea how fortunate that is... “but North Korea is such a horrible country” ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
3
When you defect from your socialist country and can't find a job in the US the NED might be a great place to look. Outstanding report Max. Just be ready for the inevitable lay-off and a new role as human furniture for corporate business.
2
It is prudent to consider American info as tainted. America needs a USSR, they can use it to frighten their taxpayers. Weather Communism is good or bad depends on how life was, before. Most countries become communist after a period of extreme poverty, and extreme injustice. Russia, China, Cuba, Vietnam …. and more. Think about all of these countries prior to becoming Communist / Socialist.

Really sad! They could go to any.country and find some scum willing to work against their own citizens. This was.done.in Venezuela for years.
1
That is what's happened in Macedonia as well and they are working there with years, they corrupted politicians professors people of every segment of the society, media and everything with one purpose to make a fake picture, people to be brainwashed so many things in the country to be changed in their own interest even if that means change of the legal elected government which is happened 2016 in Macedonia with obvious influence of the American ambassador in judicial and legal matters.Now the new government is doing everything what they said they're not going to do before the elections now they have opened new TV station under control and plus most of the old one's. Many people of the American administration are involved including SOROS open society
3
Thank you! I look forward to more. This is the best in journalism. Bless you all.

the most convincing argument for Max's story is that there is no way he could be making this shit up. Which says volumes about those individuals who believe it. Thank you Max, would that it would penetrate the thick fog of western imperialist propaganda
3
Fantastic as always max.
2
Running from the hard questions because they don't have answers. Thanks Max.

all that money for lying . wow, what a bunch of scumbags !!!!
1
Seeing this video for the first time. All the usual suspects are involved: Thor Halversson and his 'Freedom forum', which Jimmy Dore exposed last year (that's when I first heard of them); Bari Weiss, who was exposed by Joe Rogan earlier this year when she tried to smear Tulsi. Thanks to excellent reporting like this, I don't take any testimony by anyone on matters of war and peace and human rights on face value anymore. I have started to always research who is behind these stories, who pays them, where does funding come from etc. Thanks for making me aware of this!
1
Our government is elected by the people, the best political system in the world and you must have it. We’ll help you get it but first you must do everything we say. We’re not interested in controlling you because our aim is the world. Oh yes, we’re NOT authoritarian so you can trust us!!! SURE America!!!

I believe Operation Mockingbird is alive and well.

National Endowment for Democracy, Orwell would love that one. "one cornal of cob.." Pelosi once again executing the English language.

NED is also behind the end of yugoslavia. He knows about him - that sounded menacing.

一帮鬼。滚。

Nancy P. Has not seen real tragic and staggering poverty yet, till she comes down to ground zero of Vancouver BC’s East Hastings Street, there she will witness eye-burning and heart-wrenching poverty caused by the city/province. Seems everyone wants to cash in on politics and made up suffering tales. Nice.

$890,000 for defector stories offered by South Korea

For 860 000 dollars I could tell you some bad stories about my country involving mass killings tanks torture and shooting people.

Wait. Democracy exists?

The NED also sponsored propaganda about the DRCongo. Nobody talks much about that country where the worst postWWII atrocities happen.

free lunch is usually costly... the price of this particular free lunch is your soul and always be ready to be dumped like a piece of toilet paper when you are no more needed! never sell your soul to nobody - not demon, not god, not rich, not poor. souls ain’t for sale. lunches ain’t for free.

Where is the Congressional oversight? What is this costing?

Yeonmi Park said her father died of cancer. Her mother said paid 2 people Carrie body was a lie she said she buried body in another interview Yeonmi said she buried ashes an other video Yeonmi Park said her mother went back to china get ashes that Yeonmi Park said on One Young World she buried in secret. Fabricated stories Yeonmi Park is telling.

4:29 "And then they took the babies from the incubators..."
2
horrifying truth.. inconvenient for the brainwashed. thank you sir for exposing the lies.. it's vital vital vital work for the current world.

Russia and China, as part of the Allied Forces, lost 47 million people stopping Hitler. They are currently gathering a new Allied Forces, to stop the new Empire in town: the US/NATO Empire...taking over more land than Hitler ever dreamed of. WW3 unfolding before our eyes. Who will join the Allied Forces? Who will join the US Empire? US Empire is a mirror image of what happened in Germany as WW2 unfolded.
1
Brillante y valiente periodista, y para que harán o con que propósito hacen esas intrigas?
1
Honestly I can see the fear in the eyes of those who promote or direct in any way NED, when you question them...how they run away from you, because you uphold the truth, and therefore they see you as a vampire sees a silver bullet. " the truth will set you free"...
2
This makes freedom and democracy look evil
1
I really enjoyed these reports. Washington DC is demon NOT a democratic country.

Thanks for this. US Corporate Media fails us.

For further backstory on the NED, google "robert parry perception management"...
2
It is still quite shocking to me that my media in the UK and the American media and the Canadian, German, French, Dutch, Swedish...all of the ''free'' world's establishment media (and much of the rest) is full of shit. It really can't be trusted.
2
Top shelf report max.
1
Great piece of work. Thanks.

there're north korean working in chinese kidnapped by south korean and forced to make false testimony about north korea. basically everything on msm about north korea is pure lie.
1
Pelosi was talking about the US she described the population accurately she just confused it with N Korea

I don't know what Is worse. living in North Korea with Kim jug on, or here with Trump, and his crazy war monger's. the wrong #Amazon Is burning, and the wrong Ice is melting. thanks Wonka Luv'z y'all anyway.

2
You can have democracy, but once u have the democratic model like those of West and US, you will be always be under their world order, never to outdo them. Guess which country know this and thus was attacked by US and the West , day in , day out. I ask u, would u like a cobbler to become the CEO of a global company? Of course not, look at those ctries which followed the democratic model of US! A comedian become the President of Ukraine!A dishonest , a bankrupt , businessman, becomes the President of the most powerful ctry in the world!

Max this video is great but please learn how to say "Xinjiang" properly

The evrr dirty USA where lies, cheats and steals is the order of the day.
1
americas whole foreign policy is based on liar testimony. every aspect of what goes on in washington is based on lies and half truths, both foreign and domestic.

In the western world there is so much economic inequality - so should these countries like Russia - China - Korea and some other countries get together and creat NEEE - National endowment for economic equality just like NED 

You really need a pop filter.

NED is indoctrination, not democracy.

LOL, they don't even change their playbook, they have SOP for color revolution.

National Endowment for Hypocrisy

Look at HK... the CIA used to do this secretly... but now the NED is an NGO that does the dirty work for the CIA
11
Its a terrible shame that Blumenthal pushes the lie that Trotsky somehow is responsible for the Neo cons. People that he cites are people who REJECTED Trotsky.. even though they may have once come from groups that thought of themselves as Trotskyist. Trotsky always defended and supported the Soviet Union ..his critique of Stalin gets turned by people like Blumenthal into him being anti Socialist...and Anti Soviet. Some of the people he mentions did become anti Soviet and moved on to becoming players for the Neo Cons and Israel. Others Like the disgusting International Socialists ( ISO) turned to calling the Soviet Union just another form of Capitalism and even opposed the heroic Cuban troops that defeated South Africa in Angola...calling them an imperialist occupation force. More genuine Trotskyist Leninist's like the Spartacist League , with all their faults...praised the Cubans..and fought against Solidarnosc..they were hated by the liberal left and the ISO for this. It is just WRONG that Blumenthal and so many others push this lie and advance the falsification of history by doing so. I otherwise support much of his fine work.
1
you misquoted, the North Korean girl did not say she escaped with her mother only at 5:45. why r u lying? and you edited the video at that part, some screens are being cut as well.

1
You won't be able to get away with amazing infiltrations like this for long if they are properly dispersed among civilians. It is great that you used it to such strong effect. Keep defining yourselves and achieving such needed distinction within journalistic integrity.
1
Elizabeth Taylor, thank you so much for this Max, I'd never heard at all about this dreadful group tho they badly affected things I was very interested in and cared about a lot, like Nicaragua 1990.

Blowjob Pelosi could hardly dodder away fast enough when she heard "Russia".

NED bunch of CREEPS! They have no rights!

HEY! LIKE I SAID[THE NEW USHERED IN AGE OF MEDIOCRITY!

thanks to the Max !

Oh well the Kim's are great then

do americans support what their government is doing outside US?
2
Thank you for my government who like to interfere other countries for democratic???? Humans right???? I can tell HK peaceful rioters???? I want to join this good pay job.????? God bless America

Liars, cocodile tears, hows are the free money paid by the american tax payers? nice right?

Kimy likey Sum Yong Gurl...

That was absolutely brilliant. However I am unsettled by ending saying the journalist was Sidney Blumenthal's son. Now I don't know what to think

satanic machine.. SMH

Max be careful. Look what happened to Epstein. Almost everything which could go allegedly went wrong and Epstein was eliminated. Who knows may be Killary and her seven pervert dwarfs did it but one is for sure that he knew so much that they feared him and were desperate making up such a story. So be careful my friend in the criminal states of zionazimerica. It is like the daughter of ambassador of kuwait before the Iraq war. Those who claim that others are dictator are themselves the real dictators. Those coup makers got busted in Turkey 2015. Not anymore, said Turkish people.

I WANT TO TOPPLE THE US GOVERNMENT !

Some facts are obvious: if the "blankist faces" she ever saw were the N Koreans Pelosi obviously must be dozing off in Congress - the drone, I guess. And since Kuwait, the ante has been raised on ghoulish atrocities requiring R2P attention: an invasion over incubators and now producing babies for hungry dogs!. Don't think I can stomach the next fantasy.
