Foreign influence, especially from Communist countries, has been going on since the Bolsheviks overthrew the Mensheviks\u00a0 and Stalin ruled the roost. It isn&#8217;t something. A while back, I said very plainly that the NKVD\u00a0 (precursor to the KGB)\u00a0 recruited Hemingway, a noted and popular writer, to write propaganda for their US publications.\u00a0 However, the idea that China is responsible for all this\u00a0 current violence and destruction seems like a stretch. Ruining a trade relationship with a huge source of revenue won&#8217;t do anything to enrich the trading partner. If politics do not allow innovation, then there is no progress.\u00a0 China stopped making progress in new ideas and new technology long, long ago. That the Chinese steal our ides and intellectual property is nothing new. However, if you stomp your cash source into the ground politically, you end up with no cash, and the Chinese government likes cash.<\/p>\n<p>While the FBI&#8217;s investigations may lead to some valid information about how the Chinese are trying to snooker us financially, it&#8217;s more likely that the disturbances we are seeing are being financed by an entirely different source.\u00a0 The activities we&#8217;ve been seeing are too much like something that happened elsewhere, under someone who really knew how to manipulate young people into being stooges for The Cause. It does not help that the media act as stooges for The Cause, whatever that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another article has shown up re: organized interference, possibly by China, to spur on the violent &hellip; <a title=\"Foreign Interference?
