Lee Smith is the one American journalist who really understands the dynamics at the heart of the issues we face. In my opinion he is likely the best thinking journalist and writer in the nation at this moment in time. Lee doesn’t spend time waxing philosophically about the significant challenges being faced by ordinary Americans, instead he cuts right to the heart of the subject and frames his arguments and insight in terms that appeal to logic and commonsense; a no BS approach.
In this interview Smith gives his perspective on China and a host of topics. Smith smartly contrasts the typical views toward China against the backdrop of an autocratic government that is currently operating at the top of the executive branch and in many states across the nation. Scrutiny is rightfully deserved right here in the U.S, “If we’re looking abroad to resist or push back against autocratic measures, we should be looking much more closely here at home.”
When the discussion moves into the conversation around the vaccine, Lee Smith nails all the points. Fantastic points raised about the U.S. social fabric, legal structures and the need for a connective tissue to bind the members of the Rebel Alliance. This interview is well worth 22 minutes of your time. WATCH:

“he cuts right to the heart of the subject and frames his arguments in terms that appeal to logic and commonsense; a no BS approach.”
Oh my. That kind of an approach will never convince a single Democrat.
Haha! You pithy comment gave everyone in my household a much needed laugh/cry.
… or any UniParty member of the United States Senate – all 100 of them.
Maybe 99. I don’t think Rand Paul is UniParty.
He sponsored legislation with Susan Collins and Murkowski.
Indeed. Around here, the country club republicans who have sold out North Carolina to global fascism, will go down clutching their martini glasses and linen napkins.
It’s a bit disheartening to realize just how many people accept the party line as the gospel truth, no matter how patently absurd or illogical.
Absolutely ..true.That kind of approach will do nothing..We already kenw all this..It is much worse than he describes..How come he mentioned nothing about the killing of babies in the this country an how the fetal tissue was used for the vaccine..How come no one mentions the fact that Afghanistan was not a debacle but by design..and China was part of it..an they are in Afghanistan now..They are using minerals from the mountains there I guarantee it..Why is the truth..skated around and tiptoed around..Either tell it like it is or just say nothing..I am sick..of pretending that Joe is not a ho for China..He is..and everyone on capital hill knows it..
Glad you’re ticked. Me too.
I can tell you love America.
I’m glad you’re a Treeper.
Speaking of China, US officials sound alarm on incredible Chinese hypersonic missile test; have no idea how they did it.
That’s our intelligence community and military for ya’! America in collapse just the way the commies like it.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-officials-sound-alarm-on-stunning-chinese-hypersonic-missile-test-no-idea-how-they-did-this?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mattwalsh&fbclid=IwAR045zApf2gnaHQS2eKYCj0SAipEdqaXJgk3ByImcqQkjCvPgRj-ey27Pdk
At the Pentagon, they are still trying to figure out how the Taliban, who have no medals and ribbons at all, were somehow able to find that $85 billion in military equipment they left behind.
They thought they had it so well hidden in plain site that the Taliban wouldn’t see it. And if, by some very remote chance, they did see it, they would think it was all booby trapped and would blow it all up as no one could be stupid enough to leave it all behind otherwise.
Oddly enough, they’ve learned how to operate those weapons.
That’s because the Taliban with all of those weapons paid for by the US taxpayers, are going to be the next generation Al-CIA-Duh. The UN with US assistance shipped in over 10,000 Islamic Terrorists from their arming the Mujhadeens in Afghanistan to Bosnia to help radicalize the Muslims there and start the jihad against the Christian Serbs. The Muslims being shipped into the US/Europe/Canada/Australia will be used for their planned future war against Heritage Americans-Europeans-Western Peoples, and local acts of terror/strife. Their end game is to destroy our nations, economies,cultures, and peoples. Bosnia was their test run
Our whole entire government is corrupt..The CIA did so much planning in Afghanistan..I can’t even..start to explain it all on here..but believe me the info is out there..but heck..people won’t even look or read the truth.and because of that we are in deep deep..trouble..This nation was taken over some years ago..and we think it just happened..geez..
China, the Taliban etc., That’s just another distraction and a fear-mongering one at that. What Lee Smith said is to not be distracted but to focus on our situation at home as more important than any other threat.
Our government is out to strip of us of our rights and to pit Americans against each other. That is the bottom line.
“That’s our intelligence community and military for ya’!”
=====
They are busy focusing all their efforts on Constitution-loving domestic terrorists, comrade!
also, barely making any news. New tests at Barking Sands, Kauai (and other non disclosed locations) demonstrated nextgen capability for medium range anti ballistic (and hyper vehicle) target and interdiction!
I am not saying, don’t worry …but to suggest that the US military does not have some defensive capabilities is just not true.
CCP developed this because it’s the next logical step …just as the US and Russia are also developing this capability.
Along with that offensive weapon Is the defensive capability.
Some say that taking out a maneuverable hyper vehicle in low earth orbit is not possible.
It is possible. Just requires a very focused engineering skillset. The US does have those.
There are probably (just guessing here) about 10-20 low earth orbit hypervehicles flown at any one time, all the time by the US military. The application of these vehicles is black hole classified. That’s all I need to know about what they are designed to accomplish. Likely multi role: targeting and early launch acquisition and perhaps even an offensive capability. X37B.
Very informative and level-headed post. And your point is well-taken about my overblown comment regarding our military. Very much appreciate your intellectual integrity and sharing so much vital info on these pages.
I saw the same report a couple of days ago on The Gateway Pundit. The way the articles are written is that this hypersonic missile took our IC by surprise. That isn’t very assuring.
That the IC would rather paint themselves as surprised means they’re responsible or complicit. Count on it.
Good to know.
Not so good to know that we currently have incompetents and ideologues who currently get to play with these toys.
Any chance these are the mysterious “tic tacs” Navy pilots have videotaped?
Unfortunately those advances are only as good or valid as the will and the ability of upper echelon to use them and not leak or give the technology away. Balistic launch capability and genetic engineering technology to CCP and drone technology to Iran as examples. Hopefully better technology is safely locked away.
the reality is that eventually the enemy finds a way. this is the nature of enemies.
but I will point to something in general most people sort of miss.
china is stealing FROM US….not the other way around.
russia is stealing FROM US…not the other way around.
these two facts are true, generally speaking.
china and russia would prefer to be in a position that we are stealing from them…but that just isn’t happening.
our R&D and actual operational capability is very deep and well advanced. In many of these circumstances, even gaining some intelligence about them provides no realistic knowledge about how to actual develop them.
this is one the reasons I am bitchy about leaving the night vision gear in afghanistan. This is an example of nextgen gear that can be easily reverse engineered. And that gives up an incredible amount of tactical advantages, and not just with ground forces. It really pisses me off the US military did not at least get those off the ground before retreating. Rule number 1 in demobilization: take your toys home, or destroy them.
galactic sized stupidity there.
Couldn’t agree more. ?
IC thought North Korea was always “six months away” from developing a nuke… unit it turned out they already had like 30 warheads stockpiled.
Because they stole the tech from us? /s
It’s not hard.
Clinton administration built them their reactor. Many of the people that put that deal together put together the Iran deal.
More likely it was ‘borrowed’ from China.
Did it really happen as they say? Are we to believe that an administration and it’s “woke” military (who calls their friendly counterparts in China) didn’t know? Whether a missile was or wasn’t launched, isn’t the intent to cause fear? Fear of china and fear of a military that’s both woke and depleting it’s numbers? I don’t believe for a hypersecond that it wasn’t picked up in some way if it really happened.
The hypersonic missile missed its target by 25 miles. The Chinese ‘navy’ are refashioned fishing boats. They are using 30 year old Russian technology.
I believe our overlords knew this was coming. There isn’t a whole lot of events in the entire world that our overlords aren’t aware of. This is all paid for by You and I.
It would seem instead of looking under beds for white supremists and trying to understand white rage, time would have been better spent on evaluating and countering CCP military advances. However after the Afganastan withdrawl, that is probably way above their capabilities.
Fascinating. Thanks.
Yes!!
…..” Two dozen military members, federal employees, and federal civilian contractors have joined in a massive class-action lawsuit against the Biden administration’s federal mandatory vaccine policy.
The group includes members from all five branches of the US military, including Navy Seals, Green Berets, and several high-ranking officers.”……..
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/biden-pentagon-face-massive-class-action-lawsuit-vaccine-mandate-federal-employees-military-members/
They say it’s 24 members, and yet it’s a “massive” class action. I’d like to see higher numbers than that! But glad it’s something.
“The Liberty Council – a Christian legal firm – filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, on behalf of the 24 plaintiffs who oppose the vaccine because of their deeply held religious beliefs. So far, they have been “refused any religious exemption or accommodation” for the mandate.”
I can’t believe they are refusing religious exemption. Really? The military is going against our 1st amendment? No, you have to take the vaccine developed by aborted fetal parts, or be dishonorably discharged.
Everything that is happening to us—all of the bad stuff that the talking heads tell us is all about governmental incompetence—is in fact a brilliantly executed plan. Biden is not in charge. He’s basically a prop who is trotted out at random times to read from his teleprompter. VP Harris has pretty much consigned herself to a supporting role in the dog-and-pony show. Others, who are intentionally not visible, are actually running the show.
Absolutely NONE of the decisions being made are due to mistakes or incompetence. ALL are consistent with Frankfurt School Critical Theory’s doctrines of what must be done to destroy a free-market society’s social institutions. Critical Theory teaches that in order to have a successful Marxist social revolution, destroying social institutions is an essential first step. That’s what’s happening now.
When we look at what’s happening at the border, for instance, the talking heads scratch their heads (as they did on Fox News tonight) and wonder why when what is actually happening is consistently explained by looking at Frankfurt School Critical Theory’s dogma. All those illegals are being imported to destabilize and ultimately submerge traditional American culture in a massive wash of 3rd world anti-freedom and liberty values.
Are these people really that stupid? Do they think the deliberately open border—one that just distributed upwards of 16,000 covid positive illegals into vulnerable American cities—is due to governmental incompetence? It clearly is not. Every “crisis” that is being discussed is consistent with the precepts of Critical Theory. Bank on it.
Don’t be fooled by intentionally dumb non-explanations from cowardly national “conservative” (are you listening Fox News?) media sources who are afraid to explain what is actually happening to us.
“Everything that is happening to us—all of the bad stuff that the talking heads tell us is all about governmental incompetence—is in fact a brilliantly executed plan.”
That plan started the moment Trump won. Democrats with help from Republicans have successfully accused Trump of being a Russian spy, held an impeachment inquiry and trial with zero evidence. They executed theft of our election and murdered its citizens with a low yield kill bio weapon. Now it’s engaged in illegal medical mandate.
Who ever THEY are, due to our feeble attempts to counter their maneuvers, have won the day.
The plan actually started long, long before Trump won, or even thought of running. In fact, PDJT turned up and INTERRUPTED the plan.
The “plan” was altered to incorporate the full fledged demonization of PDJT, which was, in retrospect, a smart move, however evil it may have been.
They may have “won the day”, but they have no clue about running an economy or a country. Winning the day may not be enough.
They have overreached. They are frightened..
In Canada, the Government has uttered an edict that mentioning the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” in any email or written/verbal correspondence is a firing offence.
Anyone know whether that is the HUGE deal it would be here because of protections civil servant jobs provide?
Three words [per Beijing Biden]: “Cloward-Piven.”
LOL!!
Its to bad that the National Socialists did not exterminate every one of the Cultural Marxists Frankfurt School satanic disciples. Instead Columbia University welcomed them with open arms, and thus like in SA, they turn and attempt to destroy the country that took them in.
It’s incumbent upon us to understand just who they are and what they intend. This is very much like publishing the magician’s trucks before he performs—once we know what to expect the “magic” evaporates and we’re left with a con-artist who hopes we won’t notice . . .
Our task is to become informed about Frankfurt School Critcal Theory. Our oppressors assume we won’t be informed but real political power comes from being informed about the fundamental theory that underlies everything they are about. If we know the magician’s tricks ahead of time, it ain’t “magic” it’s simply a slezy con-job. This is how freedom and liberty wins over tyranny!
Well put. You’ll like this from the excellent New American.

“are you listening Fox News?”
Whenever Sundance posted a clip of Fox News I watched it to gain knowledge of a particular subject or situation…
Fox news and The Treehouse are no different ,
when it comes to Commentators and posters .
There is good and Bad.
Making lame excuses for the Bidens administration’s economic policies,
Is a full time job for Democrats..
Dear Fox News,
Mike Wallace, Neil Cavuto , Juan Williams and Geraldo are “intentionally dumb “.
I hope Fox News is listening.
What do you think of the Christopher Steele interview that CNN is promoting? Very curious seems like the interview is him trying to get in front of something that’s gonna come out.
2022
(provided election is not all the way 2020)
Sucker! Don’t hold back.
Great interview.
Yes, I loved that!! He said there’s a word for those people…suckers! And they are!!
JMO, he covers many of the effects of the 2021 struggle with the communist coup in dc.
He understands the current events with vaccine mandates, etc.
What he doesn’t touch on is the “cause” of the communist coup in dc which is the fraudulent 2020 election and the overturning of that fraudulent 2020 election in 2021.
You can’t get to 2022 or 2024 without overturning the 2020 fraudulent election. That is the MAGA priority. Not sure if it is his. He sounds more like GOPe than MAGA. Which is his choice.
It began much MUCH earlier than 2020
Aside from G.H. Walker Bush (the worst decision made by President Reagan), look who the Primary “voting” gave the R’s:
Dole, G.W. Bush, McCain, and Romney (with Trump unexpectedly crushing the margin of fraud). Yeah, with the exception of The Donald in 2016, it’s been engineered at least since Kennedy’s defeat of Nixon in 1960.
Yup, many pols bought their seats with dominion bucks over the past quarter century.
In their minds, “they don’t need any of our stinkin’ votes to win an election.”
American 2021 Gangbusters are shining light onto the rat’s crimes.
“Tick-tock the rats tried to run out the clock, but the clock struck four score and knocked them to the floor….”
We need more lumber and rope.
Having HW on the ticket kept his past Dallas and other family secrets stay hidden. Reagan may have been told that selection, care and feeding of HW was the price of admission.
Your parentheses content is brilliantly written. Me likes. Lots. ?
This entire year and a half has been a plandemic/scamdemic orchestrated by global forces. Most here on CTH know who the culprits are. Main one to me is Dr Fauci funding with our US $$ the gain of function research in US & China that led to the unleashed Wuhan virus. Now the incessant push to vax everyone with the savior of the world vaccines . Not! These vaccines will never stop this virus. From research I have done the vaxd will & can still get the virus. Just like each years flu. I choose to live my life unmasked & not locked down.
Fauci is merely Gate’s puppet.
Dr. GeertVandenBossche worked for Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Wonder if he knows anything about what they’re up to.
What everyone is missing is that the vaccine is the tool the elites ARE USING RIGHT NOW. to commit GENOCIDE! Each jab is a ticking time bomb inside of each recipient. Within the next 2 to 3 years we will see death and destruction the likes of which will make the work of Goebbels and Pol Pot seem like childs play. God help us.
Sundance, thank you for posting this. Can we please start to organize as the party of America First? I don’t believe in the precinct project, the corruption is too strong in the Republican party. At the cost of our freedom, these b**tards are selling us out.
Hey LC, try organizing a new party in your own precinct, district, state. You’ll discover it is nearly impossible to get a candidate on the 2022 ballot, unless you have a full political operation, with experts in election law. In each and every state, district and precinct. Most of us have zero interest in these political mechanics. If you and thousands of others worked night and day till then and got qualified everywhere, which will not happen, then it would be attractive for infiltration by the operatives who don’t do it for the public good but for personal gain.
WE have to win the party over at the local level. Throw out the the corrupt and incompetent people there in your own backyard. Don’t want to spend your evenings attending local political meetings? That’s why the corrupt and incompetent control both parties.
Maybe we should all join the Democrat party, then run MAGA candidates to defeat the establishment commies in the lightly voted Democratic primary.
The Frequency of your comments is starting to take Effect Doppler 🙂
This is the only way to take back our country.
Stage 3 Revolution (awareness and growing dissent toward a corrupt, inept, tyrant central government)
intellectuals record and voice their grievances and claims to INFORM AN AWARENESS!
Add Mr. Lee Smith to a long list of intellectuals who are performing THEIR part in stage 3.
In particular, Smith contributes in a geo-political dimension that must be understood, as the CCP clearly has strategic advantages it would never have if not for the failures of our own corrupt state!
Thank you Sundance for sending this out and making sure we all have the necessary essential information.
stage 3 revolution: more will join in a majority that holds dissent toward a corrupt, inept, tyrant central government.
awareness…growing dissent….develops into a majority. A majority that need not be more than 50 percent btw. A majority of people who actually have the guts and the ownership and interests of a sovereign United States of America!
(there will be many who sit idle and do nothing, even when the evidence is perfectly clear…thus I do not refer to a majority as some fraction math metric…pareto principles apply as with the other thread we all recently discussed and debated. It will always be the doers…the “minority” in number alone that will accomplish for the benefit of all…As has always been the case throughout history. Count me in!)
God Bless America
Bingo! We have a winner! Mr. Lee Smith please proceed to the FIRST-PLACE WINNER’s table and select a prize. Our pretty assistant will be happy to wrap it for you if you like. Good job Mr. Lee Smith.
“In my opinion he is likely the best thinking journalist and writer in the nation at this moment in time.”

With Sundance as a close second.
Too bad Joe Sobran & Charley Reese are no long around. Samual Francis was also great, but he had a personal distaste for his readers, so he trails the others.
I miss Joe!
I was a big Charley Reese fan…common sense stated in an uncommon way.
I’m always talking about the Constitution and the DoI, the Founders and Framers. As Mr Smith says, it is a document. It protects no one. People have to believe in the Constitution, people have to obey it. Government must obey it, must make laws carrying out the duties and powers delegated to it.
People have to believe their neighbors will obey these laws, that everyone is subject — equally — to our laws. That is no longer the case. Government not only doesn’t obey the Constitution, it sets out to violate it!!! People who take oaths to the Constitution purposely violate that oath. They take the oath knowing they will violate that oath from beginning to end.
Society knows this is what our governments are. Society knows our governments are nothing more than criminal organizations now.
Mafia/cartel would be much more descriptive terms.
Years ago, the dairy farmers decided not to be the soul supplier to Walmart for milk products because they felt that by disenfranchising the everyday customers and become beholden to Walmart would put them in jeopardy of losing everything they worked hard to achieve if Walmart should decide to cancel their contract.
Maybe the dairy farmers should decide the policies with China. “Hell no China and FJB!”
Reminds of two different manufacturers of small parts.
SEARS placed an order for 20k parts to the first manufacturer, increased the next to 200k, than to 1 million. At the next round, SEARS offered the owner a buy out of 20 cents on the dollar. Owner had only one customer SEARS, all previous customers were gone.
Second manufacturer owner had a policy that no one customer could have more than 10 to 12 percent of their total production. Guess which manufacturer remained independent.
Yeah, it reminds me of that parable of the wild boar. The farmer leaves food out for the boar s0 the boar keeps coming back. The boar eats and eats as the farmer builds a fence. The fence gets closer and closer to being a pen. The boar keeps coming and keeps eating and the farmer keeps building the fence until the boar is trapped inside. No more freedom for that wild boar, and I’m sure he made good eating too.
We were told that if we normalized relations with China, market forces would eventually liberalize them and their people would gain freedom.
But because our “elites” sold us out, instead of China becoming more like us, we’re becoming them.
We have a corrupt and greedy political class like China.
We see Big Tech oligarchs suppressing speech to protect that Ruling Class. Just like China.
We see a nearly-One-Party Media ignoring corruption, just like China.
We have a two-tiered justice system; one for Party Members, another for everyone else. Like China.
We have spies and secret police that sponsor coups, jail opponents and target non-Party members. China does that.
We even have revolutionary mobs in the streets and on the campuses like Mao’s Cultural Revolution, just like China.
And now they help our Garbage Elites steal elections and conduct Bio-Warfare against us.
Paradoxically, the reasons tensions are so high is precisely because Biden is such a boot-licking toady to China. They want to press their advantage while they know they have a paid whore in the Oval Office.
Well said. The parallels are astonishing.
Bull’s Eye!
22 minutes well spent – I would love to sit before the fire in the living room and have the pleasure of an evening’s chat with Mr. Smith, very erudite and free ranging intellect, firmly grounded in values and principles of Western Civilization.
Points that were bang on:
Can’t preach democratic values to China if you do not have those values at home. (Nov 3 stolen election)
And the Western leaders look at China with envy, they want the same kind of authoritarian control.
So when China was let into the WTO the idea was China would have no choice but to become more Democratic. Instead the opposite: The whole Western world is now trying to turn into China (US, Canada, Australia …)
It’s as ridiculous as believing a person will somehow change once they marry. Seriously foolish to believe an ancient culture such as China would ever change to suit the west.
They do go through changes but they do it their way.
The Left’s arrogance coupled with their inaccurate or nonexistent knowledge of history, always leads them to make decisions based on a belief that the world envies them and wants to copy them.
This is a huge class action lawsuit against the Biden administration on behalf of the military represented by Liberty Council.

Genevieve Ahearne (nee Cook) born 1958. Mother, Helen Ibbiton, father, Michael Cook, stepfather, Philip Jessup.
Michael Cook was Australian ambassador to the U.S he was appointed by Bob Hawk.
Also interesting to note is that Genevieve lived in Indonesia for years.
Bradshaw and Delaware were massive expansions .
Never worked at Weipa although been there plenty.
Tindal, I lived directly east of the “stuart”and worked at Tindal , the runway is concrete 300 mms thick , built on sandstone, sinkholes are common and the cavernous nature of the underground formations along with extreme weather situation cause the expansion joints in the concrete to open and shut accordingly when this happens bitumen is/ was used to fill the ‘gap’, I have personally used tons of bitumen for this purpose. Now on the south side the end of the runway is bog or swamp that was filled with God only knows how many meters of concrete .
You might be a ching troll for all I know so I’ll leave the rest alone on that one .
The width was expanded for ‘runoff’.
Kununurra no ,Derby to be precise. The home of Curtain Air Force Base , the largest on the planet in fact by area. Now I built a radar structure there but that’s another chapter.
No comment
As I have posted here before and repeating I would like to state again,
The next MIC proxy war will be in the South China Sea , spilling into what we call Asia minor.
As a contractor I previously worked on six separate Military bases scattered across Australia’s “Top End” , I met many young Marines and even had the opportunity to have a few beers with some .
In November 2011 obummer came to Darwin (I was there) at the time the ‘official’ reason was the standard crap, we have a memorable in Darwin dedicated to the fallen after the sneak Japanese attack , here obummer met with with our Prime Minister at the time a proper lefty bitch by the name of Julia Gillard , now what transpired is obummer gave the the Australian government an “open checkbook” to be spent on upgrading and expanding all top end military bases lengthening runways and all infrastructure.
Now here’s the kicker Julie Gillard later got busted funneling 50 million $ of taxpayer money to the one and only ‘Clinton Foudation “.
And here’s your free steakknife!
The “Open Checkbook” was never returned !
Now why would three commies with the backing of the MIC spend so much without a return??????
A little bit of real Goss:
Obummer had a white girlfriend the daughter of an Australian diplomat based in New York I believe name Genevieve Cook .
All this and I have more leads me to think South China Sea.
“Obummer had a white girlfriend the daughter of an Australian diplomat based in New York I believe name Genevieve Cook .”
Look, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
My claim that Uranus is made of green cheese needs more than me asserting it to be so.
Suspiciously, despite your claim, no airports in the NT needed more length.
Darwin could always take max T/O AUW B52 at ISA + 30. Tindal was always suitably overlength for fighter ops in the same way. There are no more “all top end military bases lengthening runways” unless you count Kununurra in WA and Weipa QLD….. bitumin but not suitable as a base, merely as an alternate.
Read above.
I did, it says nothing.
The two major military base airports in the north were built suitable for the operations required.
If Obama gave an “open chequebook” to Australia to lengthen those strips it will be in the Budget papers . It isn’t.
“Kununurra no ,Derby to be precise. The home of Curtain Air Force Base ,”
🙂
Kununurra is not Derby, 550 km distant. There is no RAAF squadron based at Derby, see how posing gets you into trouble. Curtain essentially has some caretakers, it’s one of the ‘bare bases’, meaning it’s can be used like Learmonth for training and as potential operational base if set up.
You sound confused.
The next proxy war may well be instigated by China between Pakistan and India over
disputed border areas. India has a strong relationship with Israel. China hates that and the CCP needs a distraction.
They want the worlds main focus off of their territorial ambitions.They know a conflict of this
nature would reactivate terrorism throughout the middle east and cause the U S a lot of grief.
The U S has been encouraging India for sometime to forsake the non-aligned movement and become
a true ally. China ain’t happy about that. It also seems we will see North Korea begin to act up at China’s behest just to make things more interesting. Whatever conflicts are in the offing it’s seems America’s leadership both civilian and military are woefully ill prepared to deal with the reality of the situation.
Yes Clay I understand the the Indian situation and tend to lean against the Pakistan problem .
My relatives shed blood alongside Americans on the Somme , those that returned I remember as a child , then the ww2 mob , then the Vietnam mob , we are losing the last now⛪
Yet I always remember what they said about “yanks”.
Mainly good bud’s type stuff but I allways got told to watch what happens in “Yankland”because we will be next , this might sound obscure but the OZ meaning is brotherly.
That is why I post here.
Take care brother.
Slainte my friend. My only disagreement on your excellent post is Obozo with a white gf. He’s a fag. It is also believed that Michele is a tranny named Michael. played linebacker in college. There are videos of Obozo doing freudian slips calling it “Michael” he also slipped to Georgie Porgie Stephanopolous that his faith was muslim.
I enjoy your views from Australia, and glad to see you on here.
Cheers
I finally watched the movie about the band Queen and one of the striking things about Freddie was his marriage and relationship to his wife as he branched out, as it were, into other things. My own experience with people in the LGBTQ+ movement is that anything goes for many of them which is why it is an expanding franchise. All things are situational and easily changed etc. So, pretty much anything is possible with someone like that.
Yet again lee misses the forest by the trees, the deep state communists are a tool of the multibillionaires , thats the heart of the issue, eliminate multibillionaires and the undermining of society and the constitution goes away.
your problem is one, just one, the multibillionaires .
Are you blond?
All the intellectual characteristics seem present.
Some twat that thinks his leader of the free world said he was blond , something to do with leghair I think.
The illusion of money being God perpetrated through the Federal Reserve Banking SYSTEM is the real problem.
” eliminate multibillionaires ”
How much money and property should the government allow us to keep?
What is your Perfect Tax rate?
Excellent! Well-spoken…99% recovery rate…”suckers.”
Lee’s descriptions of the resident’s elites are non-emotional and absolute, straight talk.
Australia has a Constitution and a Bill of Rights as does the UK. We’re all in the same situation .
Short,sweet and correct.
Hat tip.
We in the UK don’t have a Constitution for certain and I’m pretty sure we have no Bill of Rights either.
At times it seems as if our leaders just make it up as they go along, pushing the boundaries of State control as much as they think they can get away with.
Nonsense, Australia has no Bill of Rights.
The Australian Constitution is a terse thing, absolutely unlike the US Constitution.
There are no guarantees of freedom of speech etc in the Australian version.
That is a major problem. We are not united with a clear goals and an agenda. If you go to a protest you can hear and see it. We also need a visible leader willing to go the distance and we don’t have that either. It must also be someone with a military background. That interview was good but I am really seeing only small differences between us and the CCP.
?
We do have a “visible leder willing to go the distance” – P Donald J. Trump.
I know it is 2021, but it sure smells like the 1970’s…
Lol this interview made my day!!
A different communication system must be developed to reach the lazy.
Thanks for posting that Sundance. That was an outstanding interview, Lee Smith just hammers the nail directly on the head with every single point that he makes. Soon to be shared with many others, hopefully they start to get it.
Lee Smith did a great job discussing a broad range of topics that clearly demonstrates a firm grasp of the reality we are currently living in. I don’t know if I like Brendon Fallon so much – but at least he shut up and let Lee talk.
It’s patently obvious the installed regime is the pro China group. Bartiromo pointed out yesterday about not being able to confirm that the budding Picaso in the family doesn’t still have investments in China – young Pablo is probably still collecting his money and kicking 10% up to the ‘big guy’. Who would know, really – when you have political control of the IRS and the DOJ those pesky little ‘over 3000.00’ forms the bank fills out (soon to be over 600.00, bastards) will never be scrutinized.
Great post.
This interview is a sorely due, sobering, yet hopeful assessment of the nature of our demise. Yet, even a year ago, it would have mostly fallen on deaf ears. Evil has shown its face.
Natural slaves will be always be herded obliviously to their corrals, yet, many freemen must get to the point that GlobalMedia and BigTech propaganda can no longer hide the evil face of the globalists’ agenda.
His point about the Constitution being merely paper without the fabric and resolve of the American people is so true. No one is coming to save us – we must stand and fight, NOW!
Definitely worth the listen. He’s so… “grounded in reality”. Mostly all you hear over the airwaves is overblown non-facts. Nothing much out there worth hearing.
This is why they had to cheat in the election. Trump was trying to restore the Republic. It’s up to us now.
There is no imminent threat of war with China. That is a made up narrative using the media to feed the American public a steaming hot plate of BS.
We are not gonna stand in China’s way quite the contrary we’re gonna help our partner.
We left Afghanistan and we allowed China to take it as part of the agreement. And XBiden and company will continue on this path unless they are stopped dead cold.
Sundance, Gen. Flynn posted your article on his Telegram!! ??????

Heavy hitters reading here.????????
The US government and their corporate enablers consider China an ally and role model in addition to a profit center.
They’re just not admitting it. Yet.
China is looking for a combination that has not appeared yet:
Trump Admin: No economic recoupling & No US domination through globalization
Biden Admin: Economic recoupling & US domination through globalization
China: Economic recoupling & No US domination through globalization
———–
China is having an internal debate right now about the above tradeoffs. Here is some background reading:
The Triumph and Terror of Wang Huning

Wang Huning, “The Structure of China’s Changing Political Culture”
https://www.readingthechinadream.com/wang-huning-ldquothe-structure-of-chinarsquos-changing-political-culturerdquo.html
One of the key factors in all of this is to realize that Xi is one of the “moderates”.
The Rise of the Xi Gang: Factional politics in the Chinese Communist Party
https://www.orfonline.org/research/the-rise-of-the-xi-gang/
Xi is originally from the Shanghai Faction which has been generally pro-Western and cosmopolitan and he rose on an anti-corruption platform. Whereas his #2, and likely replacement, Li Keqiang, is from the CCYL Faction which has been pro-countryside and pro-middle class. Of the two, Li Keqiang would be considered the hardliner. From Wikipedia:

Xi has been able to bridge the gap because he spent many years in the countryside during the Cultural Revolution.
So, it may very well be that after witnessing: the 2008 Wall Street Crash, the woke politics, the United States printing 6 trillion dollars in a year, its attempt to organization the world around a phony climate change crisis and the latest Afghanistan debacle, China isn’t interested in recoupling with the United States economically, unless it is under China’s terms.
So, while it may superficially appear that Trump’s platform is closer to what the Chinese may eventually opt for, there is a huge difference between the United States under Trump verses the United States under Biden. Trump was focused on bringing the United States back, whereas Biden will fritter-away anything the United States has, leading to a faster decline.
IMHO
Your second to last paragraph speaks volumes.
Until the people of the USA get the rule of law, from top to bottom, once again functioning – nothing else matters.
Put another way, the rule of law matters – or nothing matters.
I would imagine that Lee Smith understands the level of the Chinese military….a navy made up of redesigned fishing boats, a hypersonic missile that misses its target by 25 miles, the adaptation and usage of 30 year old Russian technology, etc. Taiwan does not need the US to intervene….aside from their own forces, Japan is a Taiwanese ally as well. Maybe you recall that even the North Vietnamese gave the Chinese a good spanking, even after they were still suffering from the after effects of the Vietnam War.
Sadly for US power projection your analysis of Chinese military power is a fair way off the mark. Just like Russia, China for the last few decades has been quietly concentrating its military spend on defence not attack. In this it has, again like Russia, pretty much succeeded, as there is no way that any country can attack either of them now and win.
Taiwan is a red herring. If the Chinese wanted to they could disable their communications and transport links in hours, rendering the island pretty helpless. But they won’t, why would they, in their eyes they are one country?
China’s clear objective is to dominate the World economically not militarily. They saw that the US had the chance to do that after 1971 but instead went down the military path. They will not repeat that error. They recognise the power that the US would have had now in the ME and the World if it had pumped the $ billions into Iraq as factories/power plants, roads etc etc instead of sending it as bombs and bullets. Let alone the $ trillions into Afghanistan. We the British were no angels but the US has left a trail of destroyed countries that worked, albeit at a basic level, before they arrived.
Some of you might regard the US as a force for good, much of the World now takes the opposite view.
While there is certainly a very good argument that the US may not be considered a force for good, one thing to remember is that the US is basically not an imperial or colonizing entity. One cannot say that about very many of the world’s other ‘super powers’.
Additionally it is unlikely that any comparable country would think about attacking China (or Russia, the US, Canada, etc., etc.). And we shall see how far China’s economy can go….their GDP is absurdly small, considering their population, and much of it depends on the US and US companies.
Unfortunately, I understand. As a citizen of the US, I have often believed my government did things which were stupid and counter productive and even evil but, the people responsible never stay in power forever and that was our saving grace. Most of the people here are a force for good but, our elected representatives often let us down. What can we say? Happens over there also. Happens everywhere. Right now, we are a force for sale and often have been but, I think the sale this go round was already finalized so other bidders are out of luck.
WRONG!!! Lee Smith is NOT ” … the best thinking journalist and writer in the nation at this moment in time.”
SUNDANCE is.
I agree with Lee Smith about war with China. Not gonna happen. We trade with China – reportedly, their manufacturers can hardly keep up with the demands of the US – of course, we have to remember that we shipped most of our manufacturing base to China years ago so much of the stuff we receive here from China has “American” labels on it. Look in your closet. Check where most stuff is manufactured. (if it is not China it is some other foreign country – it is not here in the good ole’ USofA . Check US/China trade amounts – it is public record – it is billions of dollars.
As far as Taiwan goes, think semiconductors. Our small manufacturing base is suffering now because they cannot get semiconductors and cars won’t go without them. Taiwan, I hear, has a lock on the manufacture of semiconductors.
Pres. Trump was imposing tariffs on Chinese imports – the idea being, I guess, to bring manufacturing back to our own country. Well, we know what happened.
But anyway I think it is all big talk no action and while this is going on we will be importing s—loads of stuff from China.
THE COVID NARRATIVE IS MASS HYPNOSIS
This is an amazing psychological explanation of what we have all been experiencing. #MattiasDesmet
