The ‘United Front’ – How China Has Co-opted The U.S. Media

We are now weeks into what amounts to a nationwide insurrection. ... Yet, throughout, most of our mass media has characterized violence and lawlessness on an unprecedented scale as “peaceful protests.” The scope of the destruction has been concealed. The demands of the anarchists and Marxists rampaging across America seemingly systematically mischaracterized simply as demands for justice and reform.
...
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) uses propaganda and influence operations as a means of projecting its power and weakening its enemies. ... These operations are not run on some kind of ad hoc basis. They are coordinated and directed at a national level by the CCP’s United Front Work Department.
...
The New York Times
Carlos Slim ... has massive business dealings with Chinese companies tied to the CCP.
...
The Washington Post
Bezos has direct and massive ties to the Chinese market ... When you purchase a Washington Post subscription, it comes with an advertising supplement called “China Watch.” ... courtesy of China Daily, a Chinese state-run media outlet.
...
CNN
WarnerMedia ... has significant financial and organizational ties to the CCP.
...
MSNBC & NBC
... huge financial ties to the CCP. NBC is in partnership with China’s state-run media organization. Xinhua has been identified by the U.S. State Department as a “foreign mission”.
...
ABC
... large investments in the Chinese economy.
...
In short, essentially all major American media outlets other than those of a more conservative or libertarian bent are subject to powerful Chinese influence.
...
Perhaps then when we turn on the television and see the actions of Marxists and revolutionaries being celebrated we should not be surprised. When we see the President and law enforcement vilified we should not be shocked. It’s just Beijing and the CCP’s minions doing their job. It’s the United Front

Don't worry. The Chinese influence is counterbalanced by the Russian control of the White House.

'Insurrection'?

Interactive Map: Protests in wake of George Floyd killing touch all 50 states

A team of researchers from Ipsos, the University of Chicago, and Oxford has collected and analyzed data about the wave of protests that have swept the United States since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. This research indicates that the large majority (about four-fifths) of the over 970 protests identified appear peaceful.

The data suggests otherwise. While this is no doubt missing instances for both peaceful and non-peaceful protests, it's clear that the vast majority of the protests are not violent. This whole 'the nation is burning down' line is nothing but a smokescreen.

Isn't that exactly what Donald asked them to do, at least according to Bolton's new book?

...to generate panic.

And who benefits form a nation in panic more than its biggest coward?
