American Thinker:
Funny how truth will out sometimes.
Here’s news of a new documentary out that’s being promoted by the left-leaning Daily Beast:
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and premiering in select theaters on August 9 courtesy of Amazon, directors Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang’s heartrending documentary examines their native China’s one-child policy, which functioned as a systematic attack on its female population—and which resulted in collateral damage on an international scale.
In effect from 1979 to 2015, China’s policy placed strict guidelines on reproduction in order to curb population growth, which Wang’s mother proclaims (parroting the Communist Party line) might otherwise have led to famine and potential cannibalism. Urban citizens were limited to a single child, while rural inhabitants were, in the mid-1980s, granted the opportunity to have a second kid. The law outlined strict punishment for non-compliance: the destruction of homes, forfeiture of property and valuables, and steep fines. Those who suffered those penalties, however, got off easy, since local Family Planning Officials — empowered by the Communist Party — also had the authority to abduct women, tie them up, and force them to undergo sterilizations and abortions as late as eight to nine months into their pregnancies.
They’re reporting this as if it’s news, and in some ways, it is. But it’s not as though it’s something no one knew before. Perhaps in their left-wing intellectual elitist bubble it was, but in the greater world at large, it was known. more
Lazlo was in a Navy bar in Long Beach when I was in dive school. I was learning about the different kinds of rum.
I met an Norwegian sailor. He looked just like the description sounds.
We talked of the Russians as it was somewhere around ’82 and was in the news.
He said: “Don’t worry about the Ruskies, you want to know who to watch out for? Know who has plans for taking over the whole world? The fookin’ Chinee! They’re like fookin’ ants!”
Never forgot that guy.
The left in this country is far worse than the chicoms.
Just listen and read the left would like to do to people who don’t go along with their programs.
America’s left is a blight on society.
I once got to sit next to Steve Mosher at the speaker’s table at a pro-life banquet. I bought all his books that night. Awesome man. Fascinating stories.
