A very methodological approach to the challenge of China from a historical and economic perspective, minus the ideological and political bickering of the Cold War mentality of American politicians.
The video is 55 mins long but the main topic on the challenge of China starts at about 20 mins into the tape. The earlier part dealt with American political history and the challenges and approaches to the economic crisis faced by Roosevelt and Biden.
Professor Wolff made his discussion very clear and precise and easy to understand without the nuances and distractions of main stream American politics and looked at China as what it is and how China overcame its enormous problems of poverty and becomes an economic growth model for the rest of the world...from poverty to moderately properous, without American or western aid that came with strings attached to keep the third world recipients forever remaining in the third world.
Prof Wolff's delivery style is very powerful and captivating and refreshing.
Watch it and get some fresh air.
The BBC is now taking issue with foreigners, meaning Caucasians, living in China and elsewhere, countering the BBC's and Western MSM lies and fabricated narratives, claiming that such countering as providing misinformation without the BBC itself providing an inch of proof.
ReplyDeleteAs I am informed before, a group of Caucasians, like Cyrus Jansen, living and working in China, who have seen and experienced the real China, are taking steps by coming together to counter the Western narrative of misinformation and lies about China. They are sick and tired of the lies and are saying that enough is enough and that the world needs to know the truth. For the BBC to come out openly to accuse these Caucasians of doing this shows that the truth really is hurting.
Some Indians living in China are also taking up the responsibility of countering the Western propaganda. This is a good sign that the days of the one sided propaganda attack against China is not going in only one direction without retaliation.
China itself is already well on the way to providing their own counter against the West, on channels like 'Difference Frames the World' which has garnered wide and raving reviews for it's incisiveness, well researched and forthright presentation.
Pegasus Spyware, produced by Israel under a "private" company NSO, is Spying on The whole World
ReplyDeleteIts advertising message innocently reads:
"World's foremost phone monitoring application designed to help you ensure your child's and your smartphone's safety."
A sweeping investigation conducted by 17 media outlets discovered that the NSO Group’s Pegasus software was used to hack into 37 smartphones belonging to human rights activists and journalists.
The phones were on a leaked list of numbers discovered by Paris journalism non-profit Hidden Stories and human rights group Amnesty International. The numbers on the list were singled out for possible surveillance by countries who are clients of NSO, which markets its spyware to governments to track their own citizens for potential terrorists and criminals.
Rich parents use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their children's activities and contacts in school.
MNCs and big private companies use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their employees.
Armed Forces use the Pegasus spyware to spy on their officers and soldiers.
COVID-19 Pandemic Task Forces around the world use the Pegasus spyware to trace potentially infected persons, by changing its name Pegasus to something else, eg TraceTogether.
Pegasus can extract all of a mobile device’s data, and activate the device’s microphone to listen in on conversations surreptitiously and secretly without the knowledge and permission of the owner.
The list of hacked journalists dates back to 2016 and includes reporters from the Post, CNN, the Associated Press, Voice of America, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News, Le Monde, the Financial Times, and Al Jazeera.
In a statement emailed to The Verge on Sunday, the NSO spokesperson denied the claims.
“After checking their claims, we firmly deny the false allegations made in their report,” the statement continues.
The company is considering a defamation lawsuit, because it says “these allegations are so outrageous and far from reality.” This is understandable.
It would be exciting if the company really sues the 17 news outlets. Then more details can be obtained from NSO on its links with the Israeli government and intelligence organisations, as well as their modus operandi. At the very most the 17 news outlets might lose some money. However, the additional information obtained during the court proceedings from NSO would be immensely valuable for the whole World.
It’s not the first time NSO’s Pegasus spyware has been accused of being part of a globalised surveillance mission.
Between July and August 2020, the research organization "Citizen Lab" discovered that 36 phones belonging to Al Jazeera journalists had been hacked using the Pegasus technology, by hackers working for governments in the Middle East.
In 2019, WhatsApp sued the NSO Group, claiming that the Pegasus spyware was used to hack into users of WhatsApp’s Chat Service.
You should do more research into the Pegasus spyware and the NSO Group, and then draw your own conclusions.
SSO.
America is on the decline. Talk too much but no action. Accused other countries of crimes but ownself committed the most heinous crimes in the World.
