Christmas p1 | Religious Freedom in China | African Catholic Church Service
Xmas in China p2 will be uploaded in a day or 2 so stay tuned! Chinese people living in the Republic of China (island of Taiwan) and in the city of Hong Kong have told me that people are not allowed to pray or go to church in mainland China. Sometimes Western media outlets also try to spread similar misinformation. Let's go and actually check out Catholic church on Christmas day.

Navalny poisoning: CIA, MI6, 'discredited' state-funded Bellingcat play key role in accusing Russia
Pushback with Aaron Maté Support Pushback at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate Russia's FSB intelligence agency has been accused of poisoning opposition activist Alexei Navalny. While the allegation may prove to be true, Western media coverage has overlooked the key role of the CIA, MI6, and the state-funded outlet Bellingcat in generating it. Western media outlets have failed to disclose that Bellingcat is funded by NATO member states, including the US via the National Endowment for Democracy, and that Bellingcat has a dubious record. In a leaked assessment, the UK government's Integrity Initiative wrote: “Bellingcat was somewhat discredited, both by spreading disinformation itself, and by being willing to produce reports for anyone willing to pay." And few have paid attention to reporting by the New York Times that shortly after Navalny was flown to Germany for treatment, "representatives from the Central Intelligence Agency and Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service provided members of the German government with details about the poisoning, including the identities of the Federal Security Service officers involved, that directly implicated the Russian government."

Veteran US diplomat: US confronts China to protect supremacy, not security
Pushback with Aaron Maté Support Pushback at Patreon: https://ift.tt/2SxxVRE Veteran US diplomat Chas Freeman says that despite talk of a New Cold War between the US and China, the US in reality is reacting aggressively to a rising Chinese power whose economic gains threaten US global supremacy. Freeman, who served in top State Department positions and as Richard Nixon's chief interpreter on his historic 1972 visit to China, discusses the state of US-China relations and flashpoints such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the repression of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang. "Since around 1870, we have been the preeminent society on the planet -- the wealthiest and technologically most advanced, the most influential. And China's overtaking us," Freeman says. "So there's a psychological issue here. The good deal of what we're doing is better explained by psychology than by statecraft. China does threaten American economic supremacy, may have already passed us in many ways... Whether that's a threat or not depends on your perceptions. We've chosen to treat it as a national security or a military threat. It'll be very good for the military industrial complex for a while." Guest: Chas Freeman. Veteran U.S. diplomat and public servant who has served in many senior positions, including as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, and as the principal US interpreter during President Nixon’s historic visit to China in 1972. ||| The Grayzone ||| Find more reporting at https://thegrayzone.com Support our original journalism at Patreon: https://ift.tt/2NtduCY Facebook: https://ift.tt/32JqKdF Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegrayzonenews Instagram: https://ift.tt/3i6Nvi3 Minds: https://ift.tt/2ImRw34 Mastodon: https://ift.tt/2EfYlRp #TheGrayzone
