It was 32 years ago tonight when the Chinese government sent the Mongolian Army into Tiananmen Square to crackdown on the mostly student protestors.
It is against the law in China to recognize today, memorialize the dead, or even speak publicly of this bloody anniversary. Few people know the short and long-term political ramifications to this event which extended far beyond the borders of China.
Many people are familiar with this image:
However, not as many people are as familiar with the wide shot.
That’s some serious courage right there.
The June 4th 1989 anniversary holds a great deal of personal significance for those who witnessed the events.
Few people even know how most of the regular Chinese military refused orders to open fire on the protesting crowd. Hundreds of young Chinese military soldiers actually formed lines around the mostly student activists in an effort to protect them. The Chinese government eventually bypassed the regulars and instructed the Mongolian military divisions who carried out the orders.
No-one really knows how many were killed, and even the families of the fallen were too scared to speak publicly.
Those who were lost live-on in whispered memories of lore.
So many.
So young.
We remember.
…Then the tanks came….
And then they did the same thing in Hong Kong.
Speaking of…….. Where did A2 go?
sadly everything turned upside down after the election was stolen back in November and Sundance was deplatformed. I rarely visit my old favorite websites anymore and even more rarely comment anywhere (not that I ever had much useful to say anyway, but I digress). All the fun of those heady days back in 2017 is gone, as are many of our old stalwarts…it is just not the same (A2 could be a pain the ass, but brought much useful insight into what was happening in China so the orneriness was tolerable IMHO) see ya in 2025
Yep there is no ‘Free Speech’ anymore I personally have been de-platformed by the Facebook Fascists, as is Trump and as have many thousands of others like me and am being refused access to comment by DISQUS and all I do is tell the TRUTH
I can’t even comment on Yahoo. They must all be destroyed, starting with the United Nations. I hope GOD lets me live long enough to breathe free air again.
Which tank is Zuckerberg in and which Hunter?
Here we are a bunch of Americans remembering and honoring those who lost their lives during a horrific event and Big Tech and China are silencing it.
What was Biden claiming -all during his election and just the other day, about white Americans being the biggest threat? Yeah- it doesn’t add up unless Biden and Big Tech are China’s puppets -sowing division, hate, unrest with lies, censorship, and force. None of those things is what America was built on. None of those things is what Makes America Great.
Big Tech and Big Business bowing to China…….
Microsoft Bing image search results for Tiananmen Square ‘Tank Man’ empty, raising censorship questions
Anyone see the NBA statement or Kellogg’s Tiananmen cereal to mark the occasion?
Bastards!
That image is an inspiration tom people all over the WORLD.
Shame on them for censoring it.
Bastards! You are too kind!
Biden is correct. White Americans Schumer and Pelosi are among America’s gravest threats.
I wish I could post my pics here as yesterday there were thousands of police everywhere at Causeway bay in Hong Kong. It was a surreal scene where protesters gathered.
We do too.
It was really weird! Me and my friend were walking around and stopped at a Vietnamese restaurant and had dinner. Afterwards it was already pushing past eight as we headed back to catch the MTR and what was strange was the carnival like atmosphere as crowds had been dispersing throughout the streets. I was carrying a 10o pounds and was too tired to film it all.
That guy in front of the tanks was the bravest man in living memory. I only hope he survived to lead a happy life since then.
Hasn’t been seen since, and won’t be.
If you look at the last picture carefully, there are mangled and torn in half bodies from the tank tracks.
I have heard as many as 10000 were executed.
That’s what awaits us if the Globalists succeed.
yes
Pretty sure he is still alive.
What an amazing person.
He lives forever.
Surely any afterlife will be particularly kind to him.
If I recall correctly, the young man did make it out alive and even managed to escape the country. He, along with a few others, were smuggled out within days of the bloody defeat.
I hope so. I had always thought he had died. Like real soon after.
Most of those students were massacred in cold blood, so it seems unlikely he survived. Some who had been demonstrating there went home after warnings from the CHiComs. Those who did not were killed.
At the Stop the Steal rallies here in CA after the election, I attended several, and was amazed that the normal amount of Chinese present was about 50% of all those in attendance.
They have experienced firsthand: CCP, communism, dictatorship and fascism up close. They were the most vocal, and the most passionate when speaking out against the injustices here in the USA that is rising up.
Especially, the women!
They were heavily represented in DC on 1/6 as well, carrying huge banners, saw probably 20 of these at least, and they marched together in big groups, one end of the mall to the other.
They are a huge ally in this battle. Could explain the uptick in Asian hate crimes of late.
Surely explains the effort to split them off and alienate them from the people who most assuredly do not hate them in the least.
I agree Dirk.
Communism has been a real horror show in post WW2 far east and Europe.
I was at the rally in Valdosta where Trump stumped for the two Republican senatorial ingrates. The Chinese were everywhere handing out flyers denouncing the CCP, as well as warning everyone about them.
The Vietnamese were well represented on January 6th in DC too.
I suspect you won’t find one Cambodian who has a good thing to say about the Khmer Rough, or a Korean who “truly loves” Fat Boy.
You are correct. These people know what communism is all about and don’t want to see it here, and I also think that is why they are being targeted. I would not be surprised if the CCP is paying people to do it as a form of intimidation. It’s how a crime syndicate operates.
The same can be said for eastern Europeans. They are all sounding the alarm.
I will stand with them anywhere and anytime.
I went to the rally on the 6th with my sister and met a lovely man with his family. He had been at Tianamen Square, and also had been jailed in China. He brought his family to the January 6 event because it was so important. I wish all of America would wake up soon. It’s getting scary here. God Bless All of you, and Sundance, and all the patriots near and far.
A Chinese newspaper advocates for preparing for nuclear war with the United States. Thankfully, at least they aren’t white supremacists noted as the biggest threat to America according to the Obiden regime.
Sadly, no one can trust CNN, Big Tech, or the other old mainline news stations and papers to report such bravery today against such evil. The communists, radical Muslims, and socialist terrorists are now protected by the Democrat media complex as they seek to take away our peace, prosperity, and freedoms.
It’s too bad Truman didn’t have to courage to let Mac do his job and wipe out the CCP during the Korean War.
China would today be a global ally like Japan
Chiang Kai-Shek offered to invade Mainland China while the Chinese Army was occupied in Korea. Truman sent the 7th Fleet to the Formosa Strait ostensibly to protect Formosa but more likely to prevent Chiang from invading China and widening the conflict.
MacArthur supported Chiang and wanted to arm him.. In his autobiography, MacArthur denied wanting to use A-bombs on Peking, but said he wanted to seed the Northern Shore of the Yalu River with Plutonium to make it impassable.
And the DC establishment is prepared to do this to us.
Disease spreading, Technology stealing, Minorities persecuting, Militarily expansionist, Currency manipulating, Organ Harvesting China does not belong in the ‘Community of Civilized nations’ they should be ostracized and boycotted
China justifies the massacre

Despicable savages.

EXCLUSIVE: High-Ranking Chinese Defector Has ‘Direct Knowledge’ of Several Chinese Special Weapons Programs
RedState’s sources say that’s partially true. FBI Director Christopher Wray was “ambushed” with the information, they say, and Langley was also unaware.
Sources say DIA leadership kept the defector within their Clandestine Services network to prevent Langley and the State Department from accessing the person, whose existence was kept from other agencies because DIA leadership believes there are Chinese spies or sources inside the FBI, CIA, and several other federal agencies.
UPDATE 12:30 PM PDT, June 4, 2021
Sources tell RedState the defector has been with the DIA for three months and that he has provided an extensive, technically detailed debrief to US officials.
In DIA’s assessment, the information provided by the defector is legitimate. Sources say the level of confidence in the defector’s information is what has led to a sudden crisis of confidence in Dr. Anthony Fauci, adding that U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) personnel detailed to DIA have corroborated very technical details of information provided by the defector.

“because DIA leadership believes there are Chinese spies or sources inside the FBI, CIA, and several other federal agencies”
They left out the White House, Senate and Congress
January 28, 2020:
Harvard Professor Charles Lieber, an expert in next-gen pathogen detection technologies, is suddenly arrested over alleged ties to China in a bizarre FBI raid.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-and-two-chinese-nationals-charged-three-separate-china-related
this jumps out at me:
“In November 2018, NIH inquired of Harvard whether Lieber had failed to disclose his then-suspected relationship with WUT and China’s Thousand Talents Plan. Lieber caused Harvard to falsely tell NIH that Lieber “had no formal association with WUT” after 2012, that “WUT continued to falsely exaggerate” his involvement with WUT in subsequent years, and that Lieber “is not and has never been a participant in” China’s Thousand Talents Plan. “
so let me get this right….NIH AND Harvard do not do regular investigations of scientists…where they are getting funding…who they are working for…
sounds about right /s
I have this gut feeling we are going to be seeing this act and scene again very soon.
Dr. Dvosak (sp?, eco-alliance/health – “I was not aware I was required to report special funding sources from china!?
Dr. Fauci – I did not have sex with that woman,,,
etc
etc.
I remember..
More and more each month China is gaining control of America. Look at American tech companies now censoring images of Tiananmen Square 1989 democracy demonstration in China. Because China wants all record of their killing their own civilians wiped out. Is this America anymore? So very sad. So unthinkable. And nobody does anything about it.
It’s a shame no one has pictures of the bulldozers scraping up and piling the thousands of pulverized bodies.
All of the world should see it.
About 10 years ago, our family volunteered with an outreach ministry to Chinese students. One Sunday I mentioned Tiananmen Square protests to an 18 year old Chinese student who had recently arrived in the US, and he’d never heard of it.
As bad as this Fauci treason is, it’s just the tiniest little tip of the iceberg. Not only did we fund our own Plandemic with the Chinese Communist Party, we have their spies working at ALL of our weapons labs–bio-labs, nuclear labs, space weapons, intel, conventional weapons labs—ALL of them. Universities, too. They own the Bidens and his entire Cabinet was hand-picked by China.
It is almost impossible to overstate it; OUR ENTIRE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN RUN FOR THE BENEFIT OF CHINA FOR DECADES.
You know how a coalition government wants to replace Netanyahu? Our Biden Occupation Government is really a Coalition Government that replaced the True President, It consists of China, Inc. and the Uni-Party Syndicate-traitor class conspiring together against us, the American People.
We’re all Tank Man now.
One reason I have heard that there is no exact count of the number of people killed, estimated to be in the thousands, is that the bodies were not treated as human remains, but rather ground beneath the tank treads until unrecognizable and then the Square was cleaned with fire hoses
I was in the US when this happened, getting ready to go to China.
Chinese exchange students who were very close friends of mine let me know that *many* exchange students all over the US were calling the phone number that the CCP had requested Chinese citizens to call to report on/turn in family, friends, and neighbors that had participated in the protest.
The Chinese exchange students shut down the “reporting” phone lines by tying them up for days and days.
When I got to China a few months later, my experience all over the country over the next couple years was that, yes, the regular Chinese soldiers were very chill at that time.
It really seemed that most of them had signed up just to keep from starving. It’s probably changed now, but in the 80’s/early 90’s many Chinese were absolutely dirt poor and signing up for a couple meals a day seems like a -duh! No brainer.
Erased? Forgotten??
Seriously?!?!?
I don’t think so.
If you strike me down ….
Darkness cannot extinguish the light. But light always overcomes darkness.
No, this is what the world remembers.
I don’t know his name or what happened to him but erased … never.
I don’t know the name of that young man that Stalin “erased” .. but he is remembered.
King Henry had many wives but I only know Anne Boleyn.
Lexington, Concord, Little Roundtop. Don’t know their names. But they are remembered.
The Sparta 300
Their actions live on.
I remember seeing the hopeful enthusiastic faces of these pro-Democracy young college students peacefully demonstrating for days on US TV news outlets. At the time, seeing these youthful demonstrations made Americans hopeful that there would be genuine reform in China. We’d been sold the bill of goods by politicians in Congress that US assistance to build the economy of Communist China and relocate our manufacturing business overseas to them would result in the collapse of the Communist structure of their government. That a hybrid that looked more like capitalism would take shape, and the world would become more at peace. The mood was elated and light hearted as we watched the crowds of hopeful students grow.
Then the tanks rolled in. There was a stand off for days as the world watched in suspense wondering what the Chinese would do in reaction to this large and very public display of its youth, peacefully protesting, who no longer wanted a Communist structure for their government and who craved the Democracy and freedom of the West. Much to the horror of the entire Free world, the Chinese government made the decision to slaughter ALL of these unarmed young students in COLD BLOOD. They had been doing nothing but peacefully demonstrating. Videos leaked out of the carnage from those brave enough to share these. Americans were grief stricken and horrified. People were openly crying upon hearing the news.How could a government slaughter their own children like this? These youth were their future, many said.
Even today, no one in China is allowed to speak of these brave students nor honor their lives. Those who tried to organize a gathering to commemorate the anniversary of the massacre were arrested by the ChiComs. Those of us in America and indeed in the entire Free world who remember seeing their faces and their hopeful signs can honor their memory though. We can pay tribute to these brave young souls who stood tall and dared to face a brutal, evil cabal of bloodthirsty Tyrants to try to forge a better future for themselves, their children, and their country. May these brave children live in our memories and may we Honor them always. RIP innocent, hopeful young souls. We will never forget you. You will always be an inspiration to those who love Freedom, and you did NOT die in vain.
Did this incident put Congress even on pause to reconsider building up the Chinese economy and empowering this Evil and Brutal Regime? No, unfortunately it did not. But certain Congressmen & CEOs made billions. And now here we are in 2021. FOUR MILLION PEOPLE KILLED WORLDWIDE by a virus developed in a bioweapon lab in Wuhan China, which was given MILLIONS OF US TAX DOLLARS on the sly, thanks to Fauci, who cleverly circumvented required protocols in Congress to get the money. Does Congress even care? Certainly the Biden Regime does not and has no intention of even considering firing Fauci according to the WH today. It is NATIONAL SUICIDE to keep doing business with the ChiComs or to keep giving them ANY KIND OF ASSISTANCE. THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW. Americans should WAKE UP as to who these people are (along with their crooked enablers in Congress) and demand that our government stop aiding and abetting this ruthless, barbaric Enemy who plans to destroy us one way or another.
Per Janis Joplin….”Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose”.
And our fraudulent president took 1.5 billion dollars from the communist chinese government and they now control him
Nanzi Pelosi, sitting in her Capitol Bunker, eating ice cream, would order our PC Cadet Generals to run over us with tanks in a heartbeat.
Tanks, without infantry support
can’t get away with that here
This is just a glimpse of communist savagery on display.
The CCPs grotesque barbarism, is heavily censored, and concealed from the rest of the world.
Pretending that China is a normal civilised country, is an affront. It’s sickening seeing governments, corporations, media, Hollywood, and professional sports toadying up to Communist Party filth.
All for money, fame, and power—-which, when we die, you can’t take with you!
Liberals see that man in front of the tank and believe it’s them standing before the government, standing for rights and liberty.
The fact is, it is the liberals driving that tank over us patriots and destroying our nation.
ignorance can only be dispelled by truth.
People are waking up, men of importance need to voice the truth of God’s word throughout our nation. It is the medicine for this sick and dying nation.
‘We’ own the power yet we conservatives willingly give over the righteous ground in fear we may judge another.
Let me tell you, that’s a lie from the father of lies.
We are the salt. We are the ingredients that preserves and stops the rot. Or we are trodden upon as we see
today.
That man in front of the tank was murdered yet lives on. Yes he’s dead as Jesus is but, it is a standard as well as a measuring of good and evil just as Jesus life was.
The self justification of people can only be broken by the standard of Gods word. We cannot produce good in this world only God
can.
The day they made Xi Chairman for life was his death sentence. He won’t last much longer. The CCP is an illusion that can not stop the Chinese people from being free. Party members are leaving in droves.
That man is still in hiding.
The CCP is still actively searching for him.
We had several Chinese students in our lab where we worked. Most of them supported the students. Many of them applied for refugee status the next day. I recall most, all of us doing a group hug while everyone wept. One of the students kept saying he simply could not believe China’s own peoples army could so such a thing.
That was the lesson I took away. In such a situation you cannot trust the military or police to do the right thing. And they have the tanks and guns.
