There's increasing suspicion that China had a "hidden hand" in Myanmar's coup d'etat which kicked off Feb.1 upon the arrest and detention of the country's civilian leadership.
The substantial rumors that Beijing assisted in the military coup that's plunged its southeast Asian neighbor into unrest - with a near total internet blackout and armored vehicles patrolling the streets - have grown to the point that it prompted a formal denial from China’s ambassador to Myanmar.
Ambassador Chen Hai early this week responded to growing pro-democracy protests that have formed outside the Chinese embassy in the city Yangon. It a written public statement the ambassador claimed to have had no "prior knowledge" of the coup, further saying that allegations of Communist China's assisting in setting up a telecommunications firewall in cooperation with military coup forces are "laughable".
"We have friendly relations with both the NLD and the military. The current situation is absolutely not what China wants to see," Chen added.
As an example of the growing allegations that see Chinese 'interference' all over the worsening Myanmar situation, Hong Kong pro-democracy activists are circulating assessments like the following.
Credible sources revealed that the Myanmar military government is receiving "technical support" from the CCP to build similar internet firewalls to block access to Twitter, NYT, FB etc. The internet cutoff serves this need. Dictators help each other and CCP is leading the way.
Indeed there should be ways that US-based tech and social media giants can verify this, though companies like Google have long had a suspiciously cozy relationship with Chinese Communist authorities.
Anti-China protesters through the region are pointing the finger at Beijing for this month's rapidly moving Myanmar events...
Current widespread internet outages and blockages of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter appear geared toward preempting the growing anti-coup demonstrations, which in the past days have seen tens of thousands hit the streets, and are resulting in increasingly violent clashes with police and military coup forces.
According the latest reporting in The Guardian, "Since a military coup earlier this month, Myanmar has endured five internet blackouts. There have also been blocks on some social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, which have been used to generate support for anti-coup protests in the country."
Meanwhile, amid broad clashes with police, there's increasing "anti-China" sentiment growing among Myanmar protesters, as India's Economic Times also observes, "Allegations of Chinese hand in Myanmar coup is growing in salience following massive anti-Beijing protests sweeping across the SE Asian state, India’s key neighbor to the East."
"Chinese President Xi Jinping has been urged by the protestors not to recognize Myanmar’s military regime and to stand with the people, amid a wave of anti-China sentiment—including boycotts on Chinese products, ET has reliably gathered from sources and activists who did not wish to be identified," the report underscores further.
Despite a near total internet and telecommunications outage across the country sporadic social media videos are in some cases still being posted of large-scale troop and armored vehicle deployments to the streets. Chaotic scenes of blasts and flash-bangs show anti-riot tactics deployed on crowds, but also suggest 'live fire' could be happening - though there's still conflicting reports over whether security forces are using live ammo or rubber bullets.
How DJT Lost the White House, Chapter 5: The Chaos (January 6 – 20)
What happened on the afternoon of January 6 is the worst thing that could have happened for the Freedom Movement. Millions of people had descended on DC to protest the theft of a national election and to support people who were standing up for the truth. However, in the course of their protest, Goons stormned the Capitol. Five people died as a result. One police officer died from a head injury (from a fire extinguisher), one woman was shot unnecessarily by police, and three others died not from direct violence, but from heart attack, getting crushed in a mob, etc. The same Mainstream Media that (over the course of 2020) described as “mostly peaceful protests” the actions of Antifa and Black Lives Matter killing 33 police, injuring another 700 police, and burning thousands of businesses, has portrayed these events at the Capitol as the greatest tragedy to hit America since Pearl Harbor: it is nice to know that there is some form of Goonism in politics still objectionable to the Mainstream Media. Personally, I denounce all violence in politics, not just ones convenient for me to denounce.
There are two ways to look at what happened on that fateful afternoon at the Capitol. I think they are both true, though which is more true is, at the moment, anyone’s guess.
The Party Line Explanation is this: splinter elements (200-400 people) of the millions of protesters decided to storm the Capitol and ransack it. Given that this Party Line explanation has been repeated ad nauseum by a supine and obedient press, and is currently the object of an impeachment of a man who is no longer an officeholder (go figure), I will not spend time developing this interpretation. But I do not mean to discount it, either.
The Alternative Explanation is more subtle, and runs along the lines of my story about Moldova explained in, “A Message to Militias Across America Regarding the Goon-Left and Agents Provocateurs (Not the Lingerie)”. This explanation holds that the events were engineered as part of a psyop to discredit those who were skeptical of the election result, and to justify a police-state-style crackdown by the Goon-Left on the rest of America.
What evidence is there to support this Alternative Explanation, that the ransacking of the Capitol was deliberately invited by those who would make hay from it politically? Let us review the evidence:
The Washington Post reported late Sunday night that the outgoing Capitol Police Chief, Steve Sund, believes his efforts to secure the premises were undermined by a lack of concern from House and Senate security officials who answer directly to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate leader Mitch McConnell.
Then quoting from the WaPo:
Two days before Congress was set to formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was growing increasingly worried about the size of the pro-Trump crowds expected to stream into Washington in protest.
To be on the safe side, Sund asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be placed on standby in case he needed quick backup.
But, Sund said Sunday, they turned him down…
It was the first of six times Sund’s request for help was rejected or delayed, he said. Two days later on Wednesday afternoon, his forces already in the midst of crisis, Sund said he pleaded for help five more times as a scene far more dire than he had ever imagined unfolded on the historic Capitol grounds.
Besides the higher-ups preventing the police protecting the Capitol to increase their presence when asked, is there other evidence that suggests the occupation of the Capitol was to some degree invited?
In this clip (“Capitol Police Allow Protesters to Reach the Capitol”) police can, in fact, be seen inviting protesters past the barricades:
Then police stand aside and let the Capitol be assaulted (while patriotic bystanders ask them to stop it):
Here are patriots catching on to what is going on and trying to stop the Antifa/BLM agitators themselves:
Here one can clearly see someone inside the Capitol (before it has been penetrated) handing weapons to those outside the Capitol so they will be able to break their way in:
Then in this clip (“Capitol police open doors for the protestors. They stand aside and invite them inside”) police do… exactly what the title claims:
And this one (“Police open the doors of the capital and invite everyone in”):
And this one (“DC Capital Police Lets Protestors Enter and Storm US Capitol Building”):
Here a policeman is “overwhelmed” with invaders. Does anything look staged about this?
And here is the famous Maga Shaman with eight photojournalists. Anything here looked staged?
Here is an excellent “synch edit” showing a policeman taking careful aim and then shooting an unarmed (female) protester in the throat. She died.
Interestingly, he is the policeman who slowly and carefully took aim and shot the unarmed female protester in the throat, on his off-duty :
If one looks carefully in that crowd of protestors, one spots this individual:
So was the storming of the Capitol a disgrace? Yes. Was it also engineered and to some degree staged?
Put me down as, “Undecided”.
On the 7th of January, five minutes after the Senate had concluded its business and selected Biden to be President, DNI John Ratcliffe finally delivered his homework assignment (which had been due December 18). He opened it up with a rather dramatic and unequivocal statement: that his own report from the IC community he then oversaw inadequately reflected China’s role in affecting the US election, and notes that an accompanying Ombudsman’s report highlights the worst sin of which intelligence analysts can be accused: politicizing the intelligence product. DNI Ratcliffe’s letter (which the MSM has already flushed down the Orwellian Memory Hole) is so shocking I am going to quote the first 50% of it:
Ratcliffe claimed that he had not wanted to deliver the report any earlier because it would have “politicized” the Constitutional process of selecting the next president that was then occuring. He was another DC Republican concerned about “optics”. Call me “crazy”, but myself, I believe the correct analysis would have been, “I should deliver this report on time so that the Constitutionally-stipulated process for selecting the next President is fully informed, and if that includes that the election involved foreign interference, particularly from China, I have an obligation to make sure that is known to those involved in that process.”
Moving on….
Sidney had left before January 6, but after the events of January 6, Mike Flynn, the cyber-ninjas, the dolphin-speakers, and I all prepared our goodbyes. We began drifting out of town to get on with our own lives. Yet on the evening of January 7 I got a phone call at 10:30 PM, asking me to go over to Mayor Giuliani’s hotel, that he was requesting my presence. The intermediary said, “We are just about ready to hang up our gloves on this, but we want to talk to you about your ideas.” I put my shoes on and went over to Rudy’s hotel. When I got there, I found 8 people waiting in a suite. Rudy was there, along with the Commish, Mediocrity, a smart lawyer, and a handful of others. I sat down before Rudy and they repeated the request: they were ready to stop, but wanted to see if I had any ideas.
As I started to answer Rudy began checking his phones again, literally fumbling with two or three of them again, reading his texts, etc. For the first time I did what I should have done two months earlier: I simply stopped talking. He said, “No no, go ahead.” I stayed silent and just stared at him. He said, “I can’t turn these off, I might get a call from the President.”
“Then give them to” Mediocrity, I said, indicating the person to his left, and surprising myself at my rudeness. Then to Mediocrity: “Keep an eye on them and let Mayor Giuliani know if the President calls.”
Rudy was startled, but put the phones down and slid them to Mediocrity. Just as I began again to speak, Mediocrity turned and began having a side conversation with someone in the next seat, and again I folded my hands, stared at Mediocrity, and kept my mouth shut. I had reached the point where I was preparing to say, “Who do you assholes think you are? You call me at 10:30 PM, tell me to come to your hotel to share my thoughts, then don’t even have the courtesy to conduct yourselves like adults and pay attention?” But as I opened my mouth, Mediocrity cut off the side conversation and faced me quietly. Everyone else in the room went quiet as well, and looked at me.
In two months of dealing with that group, it was the first moment that they conducted themselves in a manner that normal business people (or even, “normal adults”) would conduct themselves. I realized that for the first time I had Rudy’s full attention, and not only that, I could see that it was the first time I had been with him in those two months that he was sober. There was no indication he had been drinking, no smell, o slurred speech. It was the Rudy Giuliani I remember from 30 years ago, taking on the Mob, in command, focused. The silence stretched on as I thought, then said:
“These machines were sold to the public with a promise: as a fail-safe there would always be a paper ballots to use as a backup. If there was ever a time, now is the time. The FBI and CISA have both opined that our election came under foreign attack. We provided evidence of that as well. President Trump should find that there has been foreign interference, and on that basis send a federal force of US Marshalls, or National Guard, or DHS, or FBI, to examine paper ballots in the problematic six counties, and count them on livestream TV. If there are no gross irregularities, he should concede. But if he finds discrepancies of hundreds of thousands of ballots, as we think he may, he then has choices. He can recount the six states, or order the federal force to rerun the election in those 6 states. He might even still have it all done by January 20.”
There was silence. After a few seconds the Commish stirred to speak. I turned to face him as he slid his hand away from his mouth, and stroked his chin. He nodded slowly, and grunted, “Yeah. Makes sense.” Mediocrity lit up, and the new lawyer on the scene, on my left, spoke up and began exploring the advantages of it aloud. Rudy chimed in, and within minutes they had it all worked out: it was narrow so it was not too objectionable, it generated an answer, and depending upon the outcome, it gave a route to Trump. I stayed another 30 minutes as they bounced the idea around with a spark of excitement growing. Finally they said they would be working on details and maybe even calling the President, and I took that as my cue to leave. I said goodbye to them, and put my coat on.
As I turned to leave the Mayor came and shook my hand. Then he tapped my chest with his finger and said quietly, regretfully: “If only we had another month.”
Truly. I had watched two months slide by Mayor Giuliani and his team displaying no organization or progress. Watching them trying to get anything done was like watching half-a-dozen monkeys trying to fuck a football. But now I was hearing, “If only we had another month.” They could have had another decade and it would not have made a difference. They were the wrong people. Rudy because he is not technologically sophisticated, cannot understand a complex cyber-crime, and was frequently sloshed; Mediocrity, who was so bad we seriously suspected of having been sent to disrupt the effort; and others with their hands in a pot of cash that (at last report) was $300 million and growing.
I walked the snow-covered midnight streets of Washington DC to my hotel, and finished packing for my departure.
The next day, the 8th, I checked out, experiencing yet again at the disgust I feel every time I have affairs that take me to DC. Disgust at the people, their thinking, their sense of what counts as accomplishment (bureaucrats measure their output within the paradigm of thwarting other factions, not in anything that normal people would count as “accomplishment”), at the staggering cost to the country of DC, at the staggering wealth that has accumulated there (cf., “DC Suburbs Now Contain 7 Of America’s 10 Richest Counties,” Slate, September 2012). It has become Hunger Games without the archery. But there were people I had gotten to know over the previous several months, had grown to like and respect, and I had opportunity to visit with most of them individually and say goodbye.
I returned to my home Utah by Saturday the 9th feeling under the weather, but intent on writing the story that you have been reading in these installments. By the next day I realized I had picked something up, and on the morning of Monday, January 11, I tested positive for Covid, as I had come to suspect. I took it easy for a few days with a fever of 101, still brushing it off, telling myself that, “On a Flu Scale of 1-10, this is a 2. They shut down the world for this?” I woke Thursday, January 14, feeling almost fine, with a temperature back under 100. I thought I was through it. But by afternoon I began feeling ill again, and within an hour my temperature was 105.4. I barely made it to a hospital, and when I did they put me on monoclonal antibodies due to risk factors too numerous and depressing to list. Dealing with that and the Covid Fog that followed cost me over a week.
Near the end of that, on January 20, on the day that Biden was sworn in as President, I got two phone calls from two different Trump White House staffers. They wanted to tell me a story before they left the White House for the last time. The story they told me overlapped and precisely matched in all details. I will relate it here.
On January 18, some loyal staffers had been visiting with Trump in his office for what was supposed to be a 10 minute goodbye. But the discussion had turned to the election, and before long Trump was rehashing the decisions he had made, wondering where he had made mistakes. The subject turned to Sidney, Mike, and me, and the plan we had brought the White House. Trump walked through it with these staffers for 20 minutes, I was told, before it clicked for him. “That’s it?” He asked angrily. “That’s all Byrne wanted to do? Count paper ballots in six counties?” Trump excitedly explored the idea, saw how simple it would be, and even brought up the possibility that it might not be too late, with his last 48 hours in office, to cause it to happen. The meeting dragged on well over an hour, the two sources told me, and they left with Trump fired up about the idea, with instructions given to them that they should figure out that afternoon a way that it could be executed in the last two days he had as President. But an hour later their office got a phone call: the President had had further consultations with senior staff, had been dissuaded, and the younger staffers were being instructed to drop it.
It’s not been often, in the five years OffG has existed, that we’ve had to cop to missing something important within 24 hours of publishing an article – but this is one of those times.
Although there is not yet any talk of legislation [in response to the Capitol Hill riots], it’s certainly true there are whispers of purges and other measures to “protect the constitution”.
That quote did not age well, indeed it was wrong from the moment it went to print. Because, as it turns out, there has actually been “talk of legislation” for weeks – even months. Soon-to-be-President Joe Biden promised a new “domestic terrorism bill” back in November, according to the Wall Street Journal.
That is why you’re seeing so much usage of the phrase “domestic terrorism” in the last couple of days.
It’s the meme-phrase. The primary talking point for this whole exercise. It was underlined in all the memos sent out to all the media outlets.
That’s why the Washington Post has got an article dedicated to “lawmakers and experts” arguing that the Capitol Hill protest was an act of “domestic terrorism”. And so have Vox. And Mother Jones.
That’s why ABC had an article about how “domestic terrorism and hate crimes” were a growing problem in America…a week before the riot took place.
There was one published yesterday, in which a “senior FBI official” says “more could have been done” if there had been a “specific law outlawing” domestic terrorism.
“Domestic Terrorism” is clearly where it’s at in early 2021, so we can expect a brand new law regarding it…probably by March, at the latest.
What will “Domestic Terrorism” mean in this law?
The answer to that is pretty much always “whatever they want it to mean.”
Certainly, it will include “incitement” and “hate speech”, I would expect “denialism” to make an appearance, and be downright shocked if “spreading misinformation” doesn’t get a mention. Don’t be surprised if “questioning elections” or “bringing democracy into disrepute” is made an outright crime.
It will probably be tied into the Covid “pandemic” in some way, too. After all, what is discouraging people from taking vaccines if not the very definition of “terrorism”, right? It’s possible that even climate change will get a mention as well. They like to slide that into every issue these days.
Joe Biden has claimed multiple times to be the author of the original Patriot Act, saying it was based entirely on a bill he proposed in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995.
Well now he has a chance to work on the reboot too, and they are always so much better when you can get the original creative team back together.
Patriots have become disenchanted after being told to “trust the plan,” that seemed to be unraveling before their eyes. The legal contests that President Donald J. Trump’s team and supporters, like Sidney Powell, had waged were somehow being derailed at every turn, delivering one defeat after another. Trump’s supporters were bailing, with Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson demanding proof of the election fraud while somehow appearing to be resigned to a prospective Biden Administration.
Even the Trumps appeared to have lost heart, with first daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, signaling that they were moving on by purchasing a multi-million dollar house on the exclusive Indian Creek Island in Miami.
It was clear to most that Trump had prevailed in the election, but that something had gone wrong and that Biden was on course to be inaugurated.
When all appeared to be lost, an Italian whistle blower came forward, with evidence, that Barack Obama had been caught sending money slated for Iran to Italy, through the United Arab Emirates, for the purposes of interfering in the election.
This time, affidavits and proof were in hand.
With the help of Tiffany Trump and her mother, Marla Maples, the President’s ex-wife; Maria Strollo Zack entered the Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida on Christmas Eve with the gift that would change everything.
“I’ve got to speak to the President,” said Zack who was armed with “affidavits of the people who did it, their confessions and assistance.”
The Chairman of Nations in Action (NIA) had the evidence Trump needed to contest the election from the whistle-blower who had committed the crime.
Towards the end of the Obama Administration, the Deep State was panicking.
Trump was then the presumptive Republican presidential nominee facing down his challenger Hillary Clinton.
A Trump Administration was poised to overturn the proverbial globalist apple cart.
In October of 2016, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi met with Obama for a last state dinner to discuss a referendum on Renzi’s proposal to amend the Italian constitution to weaken the Italian Senate, failing which, he threatened to reign.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron had similarly met with Obama ahead of the EU referendum in June of that year to discuss Brexit (Britain’s referendum to ‘exit’ the European Union) as the clamor among Britons against European supranational interference in national affairs reached a feverish pitch.
In America, the people would be going to the polls that November to vote for Trump.
During this state dinner, Obama and Renzi hatched a plan so save their respective political hides and keep globalism on track – with Obama eager to frustrate Trump at every turn.
Obama had set aside $1.7 billion in Iran that year to help that isolated country recoup losses sustained through international sanctions and gain leverage for the release of four American prisoners..
From this money, Obama apparently arranged to have $400 million, or what amounts to 14 palettes of cash, transferred in different amounts for the purposes of unraveling the Trump Presidency.
“We have proof of … the exact travel paths” that were taken to ensure the money reached its destination, she said.
Part of this slush fund was apparently used to help swing the election for Biden in 2020.
Votes were shifted through a military satellite, she said.
The plan was executed by Stefano Serfaini, a foreign service officer of 20 years and Claudio Graziano, an Italian Army officer; Chair of the European Union Military Committee, and member of the Board of SpA, an Italian multinational specializing in aerospace, defense, and security.
Headquartered in Rome, SpA is partially owned by the Italian government through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the company’s largest shareholder.
Italian intelligence “has provided us with the intercepts, phone calls, and shockingly, pictures of CIA agents involved in orchestrating this,” she said.
Once their cover was blown, CIA operatives and government officials in Italy began panicking.
Immediately, they replaced the the heads of the Cyber-readiness program, she said
“The actual person who did the uploading … was arrested for safe keeping,” she said.
Upon being caught, the conspirators released a cover story admitting to the hacking, but for the purposes of researching airplanes and their schematics.
“They have lost, (but) they just don’t know it yet,” she said. “We are preparing the documentation, with intercepts and photos and documentation on how this entire thing occurred (We) have detailed outlays on how the funding took place. It’s not debatable. (The evidence) is rock solid.”
An Italian judge has already filed an investigation, with Obama as a central focus, she said.
Senior IT experts have already testified in Italian federal court, she said
Coinciding with the release of this story was the suspension of President Donald Trump’s Twitter account – and the suspension and purge of many other patriot accounts across social media, possibly to prevent this information from getting out, at least before the inauguration.
NIA, a government transparency organization based in Sarasota, Florida, has partnered with the Institute of Good Governance (IGG) to investigate the election irregularities.
In the process, Zack has acquired the proof of a “flawless plot to take down America (that) was executed with extraordinary resources and global involvement.”
Elected officials “now have proof that the election was indeed stolen,” NAI’s website affirmed.
States are being called upon to recall their slate of electors immediately or face lawsuits
Federal government agencies have been instructed to lock down all internal communications, equipment and documentation from the Rome Embassy.
“Make no mistake, this is a coup d’etat that we will stop in the name of justice and free and fair elections,” said Zack. “States must prosecute all illegal voting activities and provide immediate legislative remedies. There can only be zero tolerance for criminal interference in American elections. This international conspiracy must be met with swift action by the President and be fully supported by elected officials for the protection of voting integrity and the prosperity of our great nation
TruNews' Rick Wiles reflects on the events of yesterday and expresses his disdain for Trump and human affairs in general.something I can relate to.
Like Rick Wiles I have had a fairly consistent view of Donald Trump. It is his enemies that have determined my views, not Trump.
25TH AMENDMENT: WILL TRUMP SEEK ASYLUM IN ISRAEL?
Today on TRUNEWS, Rick Wiles discusses the aftermath of the chaos in DC on Wednesday, resulting in destruction, death and the confirmation of Joe Biden as the next president.
Will President Trump be forced out of office via the 25th amendment, and will he seek refuge in Israel? Will America quit seeking a monarch, and bend the knee to the true King of Kings, Jesus Christ?
As if on spec I came across this just after posting this.
Trump finally admits election loss
In his new Twitter video, US President Donald Trump finally acknowledged he will leave the White House within days.
In the clip, he defended his decision to fight the election results and refuse to concede Joe Biden won.
But he said the fight was now over.
"My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. In so doing I was fighting to defend American democracy," he said.
"I continue to strongly believe we must reform our election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all voters."
He committed to a "smooth" transition and said "a new administration" will be sworn in on January 20.
"No Congress has certified the results. A new administration will be sworn in on January 20th, my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power," he said.
"This moment calls for healing and reconciliation."
"To the citizens of our country, serving as your president has been the honour of my lifetime. And to all of my wonderful supporters, I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning.
"Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America."
Even as late as this morning I was being told to "trust the Plan". Will these people EVER see the truth. I think the QAnon people have been quite culpable in lulling Trump supporters to sleep instead of warning them of danger.
I wouldn't count Trump out yet - he is still the focus of many dedicated and powerful people who intend to save the Republic from the Biden Death Spiral.
you are entitled to your opinion, but I must say it seems quite irrational to me and rather detracts from some of the otherwise good opinions that you have previously broached. I believe the Plan is going forward into the light of day and this will eventually be seen by all - even you.
