When the fake is made to look real, many come to believe

 The editors of the Washington Examiner are telling their readers they must hate the United Nations (UN) because the UN does not hate China. They said so in a piece they wrote under the title: “On its 75th anniversary, the UN soils itself,” which they published on December 31, 2020.

 

The point the editors of the Examiner are making boils down to this: The UN must love Israel, which it does not, and must hate China, which it does not. This is bad, they explain, because things should be the other way around. As to the reasons why the editors are saying this –– they contend that Israel is nifty because it occupies Palestine democratically, and because it legitimately duplicates the work of Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime by annexing the neighbors' lands. What would make a more potent combination than this!

 

And while this is happening in Western Asia, say the editors of the Examiner, something terribly awful is happening in Eastern Asia. They explain that in China, the Cultural Revolution of the 1950s –– which took a peasant nation, considered to be the poorest of the poor on Planet Earth, and turned it into the foremost advanced nation –– is continuing its excellent work among one of the last ethnic groups in need to go through the revolutionary experience, and join the march towards a new world in the making.

 

Of course, the editors are not telling the whole truth, least of all that however painful the Cultural Revolution may have been to the groups that experienced it decades ago, it is now administered a hundred times more humanely on the newest groups. It is no worse than giving a crash course in modern living to people who prefer to hang on to their old and primitive way of life. They'll get used to modernity eventually.

 

Coincidentally, this group happens to adhere to the Muslim faith, a reality that got the Muslim countries to inquire as to what's going on in China's Muslim population. The government of China allowed those nations to investigate, and when they did, gave China their stamp of approval. They liked what they saw, because they now see the opportunity opening for Muslim Chinese to participate in the science, technology and discoveries that propelled China ahead of everyone on Earth. And they are proud of their coreligionists.

 

This brings us to asking the following question: Why is it that the editors of the Washington Examiner, as well as other people like them, have suddenly discovered that the Cultural Revolution is continuing in China, and that the country must be hated all of a sudden?

 

These people hate China because a number of events have converged to point out that China is getting ahead of them, and going at a speed they'll never match. Sooner rather than later, China's example of adhering to the rules of conduct, written down over the centuries, will make it so that everyone –– individuals, organizations and nations –– will learn from China’s example; will respect the rules and abide by them. This will reveal that the so-called rule of law which others have attributed to themselves were neither theirs, nor were they adhered to. The truth is that the worst violators of the rule of law have been America and Israel.

 

Not only that, but pretending to be lovers of the law, these people invented the rule that suited them at every occasion, and tried to enforce it on others. As discovered by analysts, every rule these people made on the fly, turned out to be designed for the purpose of kneecapping the other players. In fact, this is exactly what the editorial of the Washington Examiner is about. It is an attempt to slander China, which is improving the lot of its people, by accusing it of the horrible things that Israel commits on a daily basis in the Middle East while imitating Hitler's Nazi regime.

 

And because China has been able to withstand their blows, and has survived long enough and strong enough to play the role of the new sheriff in the global village, the bandits that wanted to enforce their own rules, feared taking on China directly. Instead of doing that, they chose to pick on the UN, hoping to persuade some people to jump the global ship and come aboard with them.

 

These people long abandoned the illusion that they can regain control of the UN. And so, what they try to do now, is create a parallel organization that will rival the UN, and from that vantage point, they wish to create the illusion that they are policing the world.

 

All of this is put together by professional propagandists, thus too subtle to unmask by those who are not trained to decipher this kind of games. But ordinary people will get the chance to see it play out in a way that's simple even for ordinary people to grasp.

 

What will happen is that at the noon hour, on January 20, 2021, Donald Trump will stage a mock inauguration of himself as the reelected president of the United States. And there will be many who will believe they are seeing the real thing. Such is the power of mass hypnosis.
