Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Wednesday morning began with the capitulation of Chairman Xi.
Trump announced on Truth Social, “China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them, also—and the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran.
U.S. Navy intelligence officer Ret. Capt. Todd Sawhill discusses reports Iran used Chinese satellites to target U.S. bases and the impact of strikes on their nuclear sites on ‘The Story.’
JD Vance was stunned that the Iranian delegation in Pakistan could not do anything without traveling back to the Supreme Leader for approval.
Mao Zedong’s leadership from 1949 until his death in 1976 reshaped China’s political, social, and economic landscape in profound ways. Central to Mao’s vision was the concept of the People’s Democratic Dictatorship, a term he used to describe a communist political system based on Marxist-Leninist principles adapted to Chinese conditions. Mao believed that a dictatorship of the proletariat, led by the Communist Party, was necessary to combat capitalist forces, achieve social equality, and transition to socialism.
A network of pro-communist groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in China, are mobilizing protests, according to Fox News Digital’s reporting. ‘The Big Weekend Show’ breaks it down.
O’Leary Ventures chairman Kevin O’Leary analyzes market reactions to the ceasefire deal between the U.S. and Iran on ‘America Reports.’
There was a time—not long ago—when the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force operated like a disciplined sentry: alert, capable, and formidable, but fundamentally reactive. Their destroyers were built to defend sea lanes, hunt submarines, and intercept incoming threats, not to reach deep into an adversary’s homeland. That posture wasn’t an accident. It was the product of history, law, and a deliberate national choice to remain a shield in a dangerous neighborhood. But shields, as it turns out, are only comforting until someone realizes they don’t have to stand in front of them.
Under a Chinese-led global order, you wouldn’t necessarily feel “ruled” by China in a direct sense. You would feel aligned to it. Your country’s economy would be plugged into Chinese supply chains. Your infrastructure might be financed, built, or maintained through Chinese-linked systems. Your technology stack—networks, platforms, standards—would quietly converge with theirs because it’s cheaper, faster, and already widely adopted.
China’s elite worldview isn’t built on crude racial hierarchy like 20th-century Europe. It’s older, subtler, and in many ways more dangerous. It doesn’t scream superiority. It assumes it.
Modern war has acquired an odd new feature. It now comes with graphics, dramatic music, and a nightly highlight reel. Precision bombs streak across the screen. Drones glide in cinematic slow motion. Social media fills with grainy infrared footage of things exploding in the desert while commentators nod gravely and say phrases like “escalation dynamics” and “rules-based order.”
“That filthy neck that barged in on its own — I’ve got no choice but to cut it off without a moment’s hesitation. Are you prepared for that?” – Consul General Xue Jian of the Chinese Consulate General in Osaka, Japan, 9 November
A side benefit of the Operation Epic Fury is testing the war materiel of the Russian and Red Chinese military. With little exception, they are failing again as they did in the extraction of Maduro from Venezuela
Let’s retire the fairy tales.
The U.S. dollar is not backed by gold. It’s not backed by “faith.” It’s not backed by vibes. It’s backed by power — specifically the kind of power that sails in carrier strike groups, negotiates trade deals, controls sea lanes, writes sanctions law, insures shipping, and can ruin your economy before your stock market even opens.
For China, renewables represent the intersection of green technology development, 15-minute cities, and comprehensive social controls glued together by local police bureaus and lubricated by money.
The wars of the future—and increasingly, the wars of the present—will not announce themselves with bombs and bullets. They will arrive as confusion, contradiction, outrage, and exhaustion. You won’t know when they start. You won’t know who started them. You won’t even agree with your neighbors on whether they’re happening at all.
China has badly outmaneuvered us on multiple fronts (economic, political, military, social, etc.). Unfortunately, this fact remains true despite multiple warnings over a decade.
The most dangerous futures rarely arrive with explosions. They arrive with paperwork, emergency meetings, and soothing language about “stability.” The worst-case scenario facing the United States is not sudden collapse or foreign invasion. It is something far more corrosive: a loss of sovereignty by process, at the exact moment the world becomes less forgiving, more competitive, and openly hostile to American advantage.
History has a sense of humor, and it’s rarely kind. As the United States barrels headlong into a Fourth Turning crisis—complete with generational rage, institutional distrust, ritualized protest, economic anxiety, and ideological self-harm—China isn’t protesting anything. It’s watching. Quietly. Patiently. With a spreadsheet.
On September 3, 2025, at the infamous Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) military parade, Xi Jinping and Putin were caught on a mic talking about extending lifespan to 150 years through continuous organ transplants while walking up the Tiananmen rostrum.
The realization of US dependency on China for critical supply chains has been slow in coming. And US free trade policies with China over the last 50+ years have made the US vulnerable to the interruption of supply chains
