Mark S. Ritchie, Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) US Army Reserve, three combat tours in Iraq, 32 years of service in the United States Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard. And I'm here today, not as a candidate, making that disclaimer. I am here to express my outrage at the meeting in Quantico, Virginia, between Hegseth, Trump, and all of the senior officers in the United States military and the senior NCO Corps. Those generals, admirals, and senior NCOs sat there in stone-faced silence, listening to the most outrageous speeches ever made in United States military history, by the Secretary of Defense and the President of the United States. Secretary of Defense on his ridiculous rant, trying to teach generals, admirals, senior NCOs, with ten times the leadership ability, the education, and the experience that the failed Major Hegseth could ever begin to understand. And then they have to listen to the cognitively declined President of the United States, who I now name as Dictator of the United States, tell this audience that they will be expected to wage war against the American people. That's exactly what Trump said. So don't get on here and try to tell me that he didn't say it. Training grounds in American cities. What does that mean? They're going to go in locked and loaded into American cities, American neighborhoods, and use American citizens as pop-up targets on a live fire training range? This is absolutely astounding abuse of power, which makes, by my estimation, Donald Trump a domestic enemy of the Constitution. Because my oath is to the Constitution, and don't you think for one minute, Mr. Trump, that there aren't millions of other veterans and retirees who feel exactly the same way. We are enraged. We are beyond enraged. And we will protest peacefully, and we will go out and vote for the candidates of our choice in the 2026 midterm election, which you better not even try to stop. If you try to stop that by force, that's a nightmare scenario. And I'm not saying by violence, I'm saying politically. Basically, you're done, Trump. You're done, Hegseth. It won't be long before you're politically thrown down that dark deep hole. But don't think it's not going to cause a lot of trauma on the American people as they clutch to the roots of the hole on the way down, trying to survive something that they cannot possibly survive because this nation is a republic and it will not fall to a fascist regime.

  • Exactly, exactly. And the story behind the Intelligence League is a very simple one. After COVID ended up spreading around the United States and producing a gigantic domestic disaster, obviously, our intelligence services wanted to prove that they were not responsible for what happened, that they had provided the information to the top American leadership, which was just ignored. In other words, they wanted to get away from being blamed for the disaster. Therefore, four separate intelligence sources confirmed to ABC News that the secret report had been provided to the White House and our top leadership in November describing a potentially cataclysmic disease outbreak taking place in the city of Wuhan, China. The problem with it, the problem they ran into is then when somebody checked the timeline, they realized in November, there was no cataclysmic disease outbreak in Wuhan. At that point, according to all the available knowledge and retrospective evidence, probably a dozen or maybe 20 people were starting to feel a little bit sick in a city of 11 million. There was no way for any outside observer to possibly be aware of the disease outbreak at that point. In fact, the Chinese government itself only became aware of the outbreak at the end of December, six or seven weeks later. So naturally, the Pentagon immediately denied the existence of that report, said, you know, we don't care, four intelligence sources said that they produced the report, it never existed. However, a week later, Israeli television confirmed the existence of a report saying that report had been sent to Israel, it had been sent to all of our NATO allies in November, and it had been produced in the second week of November. Again, the second week of November was long before anybody in the world could have possibly been aware of the disease outbreak in Wuhan, except for the people responsible. It's fairly close to a smoking gun. It looks that way to me too. It's interesting, was it Esper they asked about this and he said, he said, I don't recall. Exactly. I mean, at that point, you know, again, it was an embarrassment that the report had been provided to these people and ignored until people realized that the dates proved that it was for knowledge of the outbreak in Wuhan. So in other words, it's one thing to have an embarrassment of the fact that the government ignored a report like that. It's another thing when the report proves who was responsible for the disease outbreak. And I mean, America, over the decades, America has spent $100 billion developing its bio warfare technology. America brought the Trump administration brought in Robert Cadillac, America's leading bio warfare expert in 2017. And in 2018, there was suddenly a mysterious viral epidemic that devastated China's poultry industry. In 2019, China's pig herds were annihilated. And then in late 2019, suddenly, the COVID epidemic brought up, which really raises all sorts of incredibly dark suspicions of what really happened. Do you think Trump's telling the truth that he wasn't in the loop? I definitely I don't doubt that the report might have been sent to Trump's desk. But I get the sense that Trump doesn't actually read a lot. And you have all these stories of, for example, Trump's senior officials hiding his own executive orders. He forgets about them. He would forget about them. And we were talking about administration that really was operating in a very strange way with the top figures in the administration running circles around the president ignoring the president. And I fully believe that Trump had absolutely no idea when COVID leaked back to the United States that it was an American bio warfare, bio warfare weapon that was coming to us. And that's the reason they ignored it. That's the reason his response was so lackadaisical. The perpetrators who actually were in the loop have somehow raised the alarm in such a way that the US could protect itself. Well, they did to some extent. I mean, for example, Robert Cadillac, again, our top bio warfare expert, from January to August 2019, Cadillac and his department ran something called the Crimson Contagion Exercise, in which federal and state officials in the United States planned out how they would ensure that if a mysterious virus, viral epidemic, mysterious respiratory virus suddenly appeared in China, that they would prevent it from devastating America and leaking back into China. Eight months they did it, and the virus of exactly that type suddenly appeared in China a couple of months after the end of that exercise. Now, as it turned out, the training obviously was insufficient. That's the understatement. It shows that the people involved in launching the attack against China.

  • Hi guys, so just a quick update from me. For those of you who don't know me, my name's John, I'm a funeral director based in Milton Keynes. I run a funeral home called Milton Keynes Family Funeral Services, and this time it is the 6th of December 2021. So what we're seeing is a large number, an unnaturally large number of deaths due to heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, and these are all as a direct result of thrombosis, embolisms in the lungs, the legs, various places that's causing these deaths. These are well documented by the local coroners, these are well documented, you know, across the country. And now I've seen more this year than I have in the previous 14, to give you an idea. I've written to the Chief Coroner of England, he isn't concerned. I've had no response for weeks and weeks, and then I've had an email from his secretary saying he's not interested. So we're seeing those deaths. The other type of death that I'm seeing, which is more distressing for me personally, is people who are getting sick now as their immune systems finally give up. So they've had the jabs maybe six, eight months ago, and it's been eaten away at their immune system, and now they're struggling to fight off things like the common cold. So we're in winter, and as you'll be aware, there are colds and flus about at this time of the year. These people can't fight it off, and the government are very quick to label it Omnichron, a new variant. You know, and they are sick, but they're sick with basic things like the common cold. Their immune systems are decimated, and if you think about it logically, much like, for example, a cancer patient. So when you get a cancer patient and they're on chemotherapy, it decimates their immune system, and one of the things that they have to be extremely careful of is because they've got no immune system, a basic common cold or a flu can kill them. And this is what we're seeing now in these jab recipients across up and down the country. They're becoming extremely ill, really, really ill. For example, I've got a couple of friends, I've known them for a long time, very intelligent guy, logical thinker, him and his wife are both in jabs. He's had one, he's had both. He's bitterly desperate now, he's desperate to get the booster because he feels so terribly ill, he thinks that will make him feel better. You know, what do you say to these people because they just won't? I'll try to explain. This is what is killing you. This is killing you. It's damaging your immune system. All you've got is a common cold. And I said to him, look, I will come over, I'll bring you whatever you need. I will kiss you on the lips because I'm in no danger of falling sick because I have an immune system that's protecting me as a guy who hasn't been jabbed. These people, you know, it was well documented on the Georgia guide stones and other places what would happen. These people are going to willingly walk over the cliff begging for more. This is why, it's because these jabs are decimating your immune system. The other type are the blood clots that are quick killers and we've seen plenty of those as well. So please, please, please, don't take any more of these jabs. It's killing you. It's killing you. And lining up for more jabs when you're desperately ill already isn't the answer. It really isn't the answer. Take a step back. Just look a little bit deeper than the BBC and Google are telling you. The jabs are what are making you ill. The Omicron is vaccine injury. They're nothing more than that. Will you believe it? I really don't know. I really don't know. Time will tell, I guess. Time will tell. But that's where we are in December of 2021. We're exactly where the scientists told me we would be. Sadly. I just hope that people listen. I hope that people listen because if they don't, they're going to get sick and they're going to die. That's the reality. You will die if you keep taking these jabs. And you know, bless you, bless you. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Never a true word spoken.

  • *王毅 外長* :我國要做好準備面對 *未來 三年* 的 *十大殘酷現實* !  王毅:2020年對中美關係來講是艱難的一年,這種艱難可能還會持續幾年時間,甚至會更長,因為 *到現在還沒有解藥* 。而在接下來的三年裡我們也需要去面對的十大殘酷現實!   第一大殘酷現實: *中美關係是所有關係中的關鍵和核心* ,有一萬個理由可以證明搞好中美關係的重要性, *中國沒有成本優勢與美國對抗*。   不是說中國怕美國,而是不值得玩對抗﹔在對待美國霸權問題上, *中國必須要運用智慧* 。防止失聯朋友圈更精彩你可以討厭美國、不喜歡美國、恨美國, *但不要影響去重視美國*。不是因為覺得美國好才與他搞好關係,僅僅是因為 *美國是“老大”* ,是 *遊戲規則的制定者* ,是 *中國最大的消費市場* ,這是 *一個殘酷的現實和事實* ,你不服不行。   第二大殘酷現實: *現在的中國可以影響世界,但不能左右世界* 。目前能夠左右世界的只有美國,這個現實我們必須要接受。要知道:影響世界的國家有許多,況且這種影響也是有階段性的,你在影響別人的同時,別人 *也在影響你。世界萬物都是彼此影響的,所以 *不要有優越感* 。優越感會造成 *盲目自信* ,自信過頭就是 *自負*,自負過頭就會 *自命不凡*,最後只能是 *自作多情* 和 *自認倒霉* 了。 第三大殘酷現實: *“中國模式”僅僅適用於中國* 。   中國的高速發展是不能被複製制的。因為中國的歷史別國是沒有的,我們所受到的曲折、痛苦和折磨在人類歷史上是少有的,中國現在的發展模式是結合了中國國情而形成的一種模式。所以,不要動不動就想推銷“中國模式”,別人 *不會接受*,也會 *水土不服* 。   第四大殘酷現實: *不要輕言戰爭* 。   如果40年前中國說不怕戰爭,那是一種底氣,因為我們窮,光腳的不怕穿鞋的。但,如果你現在還說“不怕戰爭”,那是一種虛張聲勢。因為你已經“相當”富裕,你的北上廣深大城市已經與世界上任何大城市可以媲美。“羅馬城不是一日建成的”,但 *“毀掉羅馬城瞬間就可以實現”* 。   美國人是世界上最怕戰爭的,因為他有最繁華的城市群,所以美國要發展世上最強大的軍隊,目的就是要 *“拒戰爭於萬里之外”* ,絕不讓戰爭在本土發生。中國現在還沒有這個能力,中國若與強大的敵人戰爭,必然是 *本土戰爭*,我們壯大軍隊不是渴望戰爭,而是要 *防止把戰爭引入家門*/。   第五大殘酷現實: *中國永遠都是一個發展中的國家* 。   我們的朋友圈永遠在第三世界。要牢記:西方那些發達國家是不會帶我們玩的,在他們的眼中 *永遠有“優越感”* 。 *西方永遠瞧不起我們的價值觀*,永遠認為中國“落後”。在西方人眼裡,永遠都存在 *“東西方差異”* 。千萬不要認為可以融入西方世界,天真地認為可以與 *西方平起平坐* ,中國與歐美僅僅是 *生意關係* ,是 *做不了真朋友的* 。   第六大殘酷現實 *不要主動去向世界承諾什麼,更不要用錢去買地位,充當世界領袖* 。   真正的領袖都不是主動申請的,而是 *受命於危難* ,都是 *被人強推上位的* 。所以,領袖不好當,吃力不討好。如果你成了世界領袖,那麼必須要放棄許多,全世界都要跟你玩“貿易順差”,你卻又不敢有脾氣。如果這領袖好當, *美國就不會混的現在這麼慘了* (在川普眼裡,美國混的最慘,是世界級的大傻瓜)。   第七大殘酷現實: *中國已經回不去了* ,不可能因為“摸著石子過河”陷入了深水區就妄想退回去。   時光不會倒流,不可能因為害怕風險而停止這場遊戲。從開始打開國門的那一天起,我們注定沒有回頭路可走, *國門必須是越開越大,陷阱必然是越走越多* 。 *不能輕言放棄*,更 *不能 “好了傷疤忘了疼”*。   第八大殘酷現實: *不能為了追求“多快好省”而“超速上癮”* ,不要動不動就犯“大躍進”的毛病, *不要炫耀所謂“彎道超車”* 。   不是因為你技術好,僅僅是一種僥倖。遵守規則從來就不是墨守陳規,講究信用也不是呆傻愚鈍。所有投機取巧的鑽空子結果都會是互相傷害, *出來混總要還的,越強大的人越把規則當生命看待* 。   第九大殘酷現實: *你今天超越了別人,明天別人就會超越你* 。超越強者不是為了證明你的強大,而是要讓民眾享受到做強者的好處。 事實證明:*真正聰明的人願意永遠是一個追隨者*,而 *不願意成為一個超越者* 。也許你覺得韜光養晦無法顯出英雄本色,但低調做人恰恰是深藏不露高手的基本素質。 第十大殘酷現實: *所有用錢買來的朋友都靠不住* 。 “誰是我們的敵人?誰是我們的朋友?這是革命的首要問題”,真正的朋友恰恰是經常公開爭吵的、互相懟罵的。在你渴望用錢去收買別人的時候,一不小心就被別人利用了。真正強大的國家不是因為錢多而吸引別人,而是你的 *價值信仰* 和 *執政理念* *深深讓人折服*。   現實往往都是 *殘酷* 的,甚至是 *殘忍* 的。但是,許多時候並不是因為殘酷而使人不敢正視現實,僅僅是因為 *缺乏自信而曲解了現實* 。   —— *王毅* 王毅把天下興亡說得非常透徹,句句擲地有聲! 轉自 ”人民的曙光” *Wang Yi Foreign Minister*: my country should be ready to face the *ten cruel realities* of the next *three years*! Wang Yi: 2020 will be a difficult year for China-US relations, and this difficulty may continue for several years, or even longer, because *there is no antidote*. And in the next three years, we also need to face the ten cruel realities! The first cruel reality: *Sino-US relations are the key and core of all relations*, there are 10,000 reasons to prove the importance of doing well in Sino-US relations, *China has no cost advantage against the US*. It is not that China is afraid of the United States, but it is not worth playing against; *China must use wisdom* in dealing with the issue of American hegemony. You can hate the United States, dislike the United States, hate the United States, but *don't affect the importance of the United States*. It's not because he thinks the United States is good that he has a good relationship with him, but only because *the United States is the "boss"*, the maker of the *rules of the game*, and the largest consumer market in China. *This is a cruel reality and fact* , *You can't not accept it.* The second cruel reality: *Now China can influence the world, but it cannot control the world*. At present, only the United States can control the world. We must accept this reality. You must know that there are many countries that influence the world, and this influence is also phased. While you are influencing others, others are also influencing you. Everything in the world affects each other, so *don't feel superior*. Superiority will lead to *blind self-confidence*, too much self-confidence is *conceited*, too much self-confidence will be *pretentious*, and in the end it can only be *self-consciousness* and *self-confessed bad luck*. Third cruel reality: *The "China model" only applies to China*. China's rapid development cannot be replicated. Because China has no other country in its history, and the twists, pains and tortures we have suffered are rare in human history. China's current development model is a model formed by combining China's national conditions. So, don't try to sell the "Chinese model" at every turn. Others *will not accept* and *will not acclimatize*. The fourth cruel reality: *Don't talk about war lightly*. If China said 40 years ago that it is not afraid of war, it would have been a kind of confidence, because we are poor, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing their feet. But if you still say "not afraid of war" now, that's a bluff. Because you are already "pretty" wealthy, your big cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are comparable to any big city in the world. "The city of Rome was not built in a day", but *"destroyed the city of Rome in an instant"*. Americans are the one most afraid of war in the world, because they have the most prosperous urban agglomeration, so the purpose of the United States to develop the most powerful army in the world is to *"held back war from thousands of miles away"*, and never let war occur in the homeland. China does not have this capability yet. If China fights a powerful enemy, it must be a *local war*. We are not longing for war to grow our army, but to *prevent war from being introduced into our homes*. The fifth cruel reality: *China will always be a developing country*. Our circle of friends is always in the third world. Remember: those developed countries in the West will not take us to play, and in their eyes *always have a "sense of superiority"*. *The West will always look down on our values* and always consider *China to be "backward"*. In the eyes of Westerners, there will always be *"East-West differences"*. Don't think that you can *integrate into the Western world*, and *naively think that you can*. The sixth cruel reality *Don't take the initiative to promise anything to the world, let alone use money to buy status and act as a world leader*. The real leaders are not actively applying to be one, but *accept the mission under dangerous and difficult condition*, and *they are all being pushed to the position by force*. Therefore, it is not easy to be a leader, and it is *thankless* . If you become a world leader, you have to *give up a lot* . The whole world wants to play a "trade surplus" with you, but you don't dare to have a temper. If this leader is good, *the United States will not be so miserable now* (In Trump's eyes, the United States is the worst, and it is a world-class fool). The seventh cruel reality: *China has no way to go back*, it is impossible to go back because of "crossing the river by feeling the stones" and falling into the deep water area. Time will not go back, it is impossible to stop this game because of fear of risk. From the day we started to open the country's door, we are destined to have no turning back. *The country's door must be opened wider and wider, and come across more traps as you move among . *Can't give up lightly*, and *can't "get rid of the scar and forget the pain"*. The eighth cruel reality: *You can't be "addicted to speeding" in pursuit of "more speed and better savings"*, don't make the "Great Leap Forward" at every turn, *don't show off the so-called "curve overtaking"*. It's not because of your skill, it's just a fluke. Obeying the rules is never sticking to the old rules, and paying attention to credit is not stupid. All opportunistic exploits will result in mutual harm, and the more powerful people will treat the rules as life. The ninth cruel reality: *You surpass others today, others will surpass you tomorrow*. Overtaking the strong ones is not to prove your strength, but to let the people enjoy the benefits of being a strong ones. It turns out: *Really smart people are willing to always be a follower*, and *will not be a transcender/surpasser*. Maybe you think that keeping a low profile cannot show the true character of a hero, but being a low-key person is precisely the basic quality of a *master who is hidden* . Tenth cruel reality: *all friends bought with money are unreliable*. "Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This is the primary question of the revolution." *The real friends are those who often quarrel openly and scold each other*. When you are eager to bribe others with money, you are accidentally used by others. A truly powerful country is not attracted to others because of more money, but because of your *value beliefs* and *governing ideas* *deeply convincing*. Reality is often *cruel*, even *brutal . However, many times it is not because of cruelty that people dare not face reality, but because of *lack of self-confidence and distorted reality*. —— *Wang Yi* Wang Yi explained the rise and fall of the world very clearly, and every sentence is powerful! From "The Dawn of the People"。

I think that's very rude!'' 他說「當我到機場櫃台報到的時候,他們在我的行李上貼了一張『肥』FAT,而我確實過重,我認為這太不禮貌了。」 After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , CA is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.. 我讓他稍等一會兒,我查一下。(我快笑死了!)回頭我跟他解釋說加州佛雷斯諾機場的代碼就是FAT(肥),而航空公司貼在他行李上的是他的目的地的標籤。 8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . 參議員凱利的幕僚詢問去夏威夷旅行的行程。 After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?'' 到說到價錢的時候,她問「飛到加州,然後搭火車去夏威夷,會不會比較便宜?」 (夏威夷在海上,搭火車?) 9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala. who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?'' 我剛剛放下一個選自阿拉斯加州的國會新進眾議員布萊特,他問「我怎麼知道我該搭上哪班飛機?」 I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.'' 我問他說的是什麼意思?他說「我的航班號碼是823,但是沒有任何一架飛機上噴有823號。」 10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?'' I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola and fly on a commuter plane. 眾院議長范恩斯坦打電話問「我要飛到佛羅里達州的『百事可樂』市去,是不是要搭那些小小的飛機?」我問她是否要問飛往佛羅里達『潘西可拉』市,而且是搭往來上下班的飛機? She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!'' 她回答「對啦,不管你怎麼說啦,你個自作聰明的傢伙。」 11. Mary Landrieu, La Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China. 洛杉磯參議員藍度問一個她要飛往中國大陸需要什麼文件的問題。 After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 講了很久之後,我提醒她她要簽證(visa)。 "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those'' 她說「喔,不需要,我去過中國大陸很多次,從來不需要。」 I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. 我再次查證後告訴她,她真的需要簽證。 When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!'' 她說「我去過中國大陸四次,他們那裡收我的『美國運通卡』!」(註:英文的簽證和維沙信用卡是同一個字) 12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, 'I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, NewYork.'' 紐澤西州眾議員艾德勒要訂機位,「我要從芝加哥到紐約州的『犀牛城』!」 I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?” 我一下子不知所措,最後我問「你確定那個地點的名字是這個?」 "Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man. 「對啦,你們有什麼班機?」 After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere." 搜索了一會兒後,我回答他「對不起,我查了所有的機場代碼,沒有『犀牛城』的代碼。」 ''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!'' 他憤怒的反駁「少笨了!大家都知道這個都市在哪裡,查一下你的地圖!」 So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?'' 我趕緊在紐約州的地圖上找,最後試著問他「你說的是不是『水牛城』?」 The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.'' 他的答案?「反正就是一個很大的動物的名字啦!」 Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in! 現在大家知道為什麼我們的政府是這個德性了! Could ANYONE be this DUMB? 有沒有人像他們這麼笨? YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED. 有!這些人就在我們之中,還就在政治圈裡,而且他們還繼續的繁衍!

  • 歷史哥澄清唬 https://www.facebook.com/525231778007287/posts/914879449042516/ 【澄清唬爆米花教室:被大內宣淹沒的美國總統署名投書】 先說這篇沒有圖,因為太重要不能亂放圖 在歷史上,從沒有美國總統親自投書到中華民國的報紙。但是在109年10月22日,美國準總統拜登以「More Prosperous Future For Our Families」(定稿中文標題:為我們家庭更繁榮的未來),以華人為主體,台灣人為核心訴求,投書聯合報系的世界日報,強調他願意與中國合作而非對抗,鄙棄川普的仇中獵巫,願意與華人聯手,但更重視台灣人的健保經驗,不願台灣人為美國火中取栗而是共同繁榮。 但在一片大奇特的大內宣中,美國準總統的投書竟然在台灣地區被忽視。且不說拜登明明在聲譽卓著的 IBD/TIPP民調持續領先,比起川普根本鼓吹台灣人火中取栗(你對抗,我賺軍火,去跟大陸人死嗑來增加我談判勒索本錢)。 拜登不只親自署名投書,還誠懇說明他對台灣/兩岸的四大重點,根本是史上最誠懇與重要的待遇。既然親綠親川普主流媒體不報,那福編來報。 ★ 一、拜登堅持稱台灣是 leading democracy (領導性的民主政體),表示其無意支持台獨立場(不稱國家) 二、拜登大篇幅強調川普仇中、卸責不科學的推卸問題給中國,造成亞裔的困擾與災難,而這不是美國總統應為。(打了那些整天喊支那賤畜以為自己就會成為高等美國人的台灣地區背祖中國人的臉) 三、拜登大談健保對一般百姓重要性,表示他珍視台灣的健保經驗,也是未來與台灣的合作重心。 四、與其獵巫與仇中,他更重視與中國的合作,希望聯盟對世界更有幫助(雖然舉例醫療與氣候,但也只是舉例) 表示願意以兩大強權的合作,謀取更多世界利益。 其他我 不多說,請看原文與譯文。 #拜登給中華民國台灣與聯合報系的面子真的太大了 #聯合報系真正展現實力 #美國總統投書首中華民國系報紙 #大內宣只在意把我們當馬前卒的喇叭川普 為我們家庭更繁榮的未來/前副總統喬瑟夫.拜登 時局多艱,我們國家處在十字路口,正面臨疾病大流行、經濟大衰退,和一場將決定我們未來很長一段時間的選舉。 今年 我們看到美國最好的一面 今年,我們看到美國最好的一面引領我們向前:英勇的醫師、護士、日常雜貨商、餐館業主、必要行業工作者 — 而其中,包括許許多多的亞裔美國人。 今年 我們也看到美國最糟情況 但我們也看到最糟的情況:亞裔美國人誤因新冠病毒遭仇視的行為比比皆是,某種程度上,是因為川普總統發布的仇恨言論所致。亞裔美國人被責備、被唾罵、被攻擊;家園、商家和汽車被侮辱性標記破壞;年幼的孩童被刺傷,還有一名89歲的奶奶,在不斷升級的仇恨文化中遭人火焚。 這不該是我們原本的樣子。 亞裔美國人 使我們國家變強大 近兩個世紀以來,亞裔美國人使我們的國家變得強大 — 從掘金礦工,到加速我們崛起的鐵路和工廠工人,再到推動我們向前邁進的科學家、建築師、藝術家和企業家們。多年來,他們的勇氣、犧牲和成功,為美國夢注入動力,也讓美國穩為自由的燈塔與世界的希望。 川普卻不懂 傷了移民國價值觀 川普總統不懂這些。他帶頭攻擊我們作為移民之國的價值觀,甚至在我們的邊境,拆散成千上萬的孩童與父母。即便在這場大流行到來之前,我們的仇恨犯罪就已達到16年以來的新高。而如今,為了轉移自己抗疫失敗、未能保護我們國家的過失,無論是否因此導致上千反亞裔的種族歧視事件,他仍堅持把新冠病毒稱作「中國病毒」。 作為總統 我捍衛每人的美國夢 措辭很重要,總統措辭更為重要。作為總統,我將捍衛每個人的美國夢,讓每一勤奮努力的家庭,享有通向繁榮和美好未來的公平機會。我將反對任何形式的種族歧視,指示司法部優先處理仇恨犯罪,以彌合仇恨與分裂的傷口,而非煽風點火。 川普失敗 他讓我們的經濟崩盤 唐納德·川普早在今年1月就已知道新冠病毒的致命性,卻未採取任何行動。現在,超過22萬美國人因此失去生命,約3000萬人失去工作、工時和薪水,五分之一的小商家關門。川普失敗的領導力讓我們的經濟崩盤 — 他總統當得愈久,得以完全回歸正軌的時間也愈久。 我會控制疫情 讓我們重回生機 八個月過去了,川普仍然沒有(抗疫)計畫。而我有。 首先要擔起責任,努力控制疫情,讓我們重回生機。我將執行早在3月就擬定的計畫,擊敗新冠病毒。我將聽取科學家、專家的意見;保護我們的家庭;讓新冠檢測、治療, #以及最終的疫苗免費,並對所有人開放。 我會重建經濟 實質救助小商家 我將馬上開始重建更好的經濟,為數百萬遭受重創的小商家提供實質救助。他們是我們社區的生命線 — 但川普腐敗的復甦作法棄他們於不顧,只把紓困資金匯集到大公司手中。75%的亞裔小企業主,未能獲得任何首輪紓困金。這是錯誤的,我已要求確保員工在50人以下的小企業獲得紓困金,我也將增加他們獲得優惠和資金的長遠渠道,減輕阻礙移民業主的語言障礙。 我不會對年收40萬元以下者加稅 質言之,我的經濟復甦計畫將回報以工作,而不只是財富,將創造未來數百萬優薪工作。(信評機構)穆迪的獨立經濟學者發現,比起川普總統的作法,我的計畫會創造多出700萬的工作,以及超過1兆元的經濟增長。我也不會對任何年收入40萬元以下者加稅 —別懷疑。相反地,我還將確保超級富豪和大公司最終支付本應承擔的份額。 讓父母能付學費 讓醫保更平價 我一路走來,都在為工薪和中產家庭而戰;他們之中有許多勤勉奮鬥的移民,來到美國是為更好的生活。我將幫助父母有能力支付子女的優質教育、提高教師薪酬,並讓絕大多數家庭免費就讀公立學院。我將讓照顧年邁父母變得更容易,讓醫療保險更平價。川普現在要通過法院,廢除「可負擔健保法」,在一場致命大流行之中,剝奪數千萬人的醫療保險,這毫無道理。 與盟友並肩 深化與台灣的關係 同時,新冠病毒證明美國不能自外於世界。從重建我們最親近夥伴的關係開始,我們必須與其他國家攜手合作,應對影響我們所有人的國際挑戰。我們是一個太平洋強國,將與盟友並肩,增進我們在亞太地區共享的繁榮、安全與價值。這其中就包括深化與台灣這個居領先地位的民主政體、主要經濟體,以及科技重鎮的關係。台灣也是開放社會可以有效控制新冠病毒的閃亮典範。 更新領導力 符合美利益與中合作 我們應對中國的方式,會聚焦增強美國競爭力,再興國內優勢,並更新我們在海外的聯盟與領導力。我們將在符合美國利益的領域與中國合作,包括公共衛生和氣候變遷。 讓家庭團聚 修復破碎的移民系統 美國向來不只靠強大的國力,而是用身為榜樣的實力領導世界。要切實重現此景,我們也必須修復破碎的移民系統,讓家庭團聚,確保美國繼續吸引全球最出色與最聰明的人。 我將會傾聽 重塑我們熱愛的國魂 我競選是為讓美國更好的重建,重建美國作為一個充滿機會,團結和有全新開始的國家;一個由數代移民讓其強大的地方;一個所有人都能發聲、每張選票都有價值的地方。我將引領這些議題,更重要的是,我會傾聽。所以,請確保你今天將選票投出。 讓我們一起,重塑我們熱愛的國魂。 (世界日報華盛頓記者羅曉媛/譯) More Prosperous Future For Our Families by Former Vice President Joseph Biden for World Journal These are tough times. Our country is at a crossroads, facing a pandemic, a recession, and an election that will decide our futures for a very long time. This year, we've seen the best of America carry us forward: heroic doctors, nurses, grocers, restaurant owners, essential workers–including so many Asian Americans. But we've also seen the worst: acts of hate against Asian Americans wrongly blamed for COVID-19, spurred on, in part, by hateful rhetoric from President Trump. They've been screamed at, spit on, and assaulted. Homes, businesses, and cars vandalized with slurs. Small children stabbed. An 89-year-old grandmother set on fire amid this rising culture of hate. This is not who we are. For nearly two centuries, Asian Americans have made our country strong–from the gold miners and railroad and factory workers who helped to power our rise; to the scientists, architects, artists, and entrepreneurs who are helping to drive us forward now. For years, their courage, sacrifices, and success have powered the American Dream and helped America stand as a beacon of freedom and hope to the world. President Trump doesn't get that. He has led an assault on our values as a nation of immigrants, even tearing thousands of children from their parents' arms at our border. Hate crimes against people are at a 16-year-high, even before this pandemic. And now, to deflect blame for his failure to protect our nation from this crisis, he insists on calling COVID-19 the "China virus," no matter how many thousands of reported racist incidents against Asian Americans it encourages. Words matter – and a president's words matter even more. As President, I'll defend the American Dream for everyone, so every hardworking family has the same fair shot at prosperity and a better future. I'll stand against racism in every form, directing the Justice Department to prioritize hate crimes, and working to heal the wounds of hatred and division, not fan the flames. Donald Trump knew how deadly COVID-19 was back in January and did nothing to stop it. Now, more than 220,000 Americans are dead. Some 30 million have lost jobs, hours, wages. One in five small businesses have shut down. Trump's failed leadership has tanked our economy – and the longer he's president, the longer it'll take to get it fully up and running again. We're eight months in, but Trump still has no plan. I do. It starts with taking responsibility and doing the hard work to control this pandemic and get our lives back. I'll implement the plan I've laid out since March to beat COVID-19. I'll listen to scientists and experts; protect our families; and make testing, treatment, and any eventual vaccine free and available to everyone. I'll get right to work building our economy back better – getting real relief out to millions of hard-hit small businesses. They're the lifeblood of our communities – but Trump's corrupt recovery passed them by, funneling funds to big corporations instead. Some 75% of Asian-owned small businesses weren't expected to get any first-round stimulus funds at all. It's wrong. I've called for ensuring small businesses with less than 50 employees get new relief funds. And I'll boost their long-term access to credit and capital, and work to ease the language barriers that can hold back immigrant entrepreneurs. Through it all, my economic recovery plan will reward work, not just wealth, creating millions of good paying jobs of the future. Independent economists at Moody's found that my plan creates 7 million more jobs – and $1 trillion more in economic growth – than President Trump's would. And I won't raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 a year – period. Instead, I'll make sure the super wealthy and big corporations finally pay their fair share. I've fought my whole career for working and middle class families – so many of them hard-working immigrants who came to America in search of a better life. I'll help parents afford a quality education for their kids, boosting teacher pay and making public college free for most families. I'll make it easier to care for aging parents, and make health care more affordable. Trump is in court right now trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, stripping tens of millions of people of health coverage in the middle of a deadly pandemic. It makes no sense. Meanwhile, COVID-19 is proof that the United States can't isolate itself from the world. We have to work with other nations to meet global challenges that impact us all, starting by rebuilding our relationships with our closest partners. We're a Pacific power, and we'll stand with friends and allies to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values in the Asia-Pacific region. That includes deepening our ties with Taiwan, a leading democracy, major economy, technology powerhouse – and a shining example of how an open society can effectively contain COVID-19. And our approach to China will focus on boosting American competitiveness, revitalizing our strengths at home, and renewing our alliances and leadership abroad. We'll work to collaborate with China when it's in our interest, including on public health and climate change. America has always led the world not only with the example of our power, but the power of our example. To truly do that again, we also have to fix our broken immigration system, keeping families together and ensuring the United States continues to draw the world's best and brightest. I'm running to build America back better, as a country of opportunity, unity, and new beginnings. A place made strong by generations of immigrants. A place where everyone has a voice and every vote counts. I'll lead on these issues, and more importantly, I'll listen. So please make sure you get your vote in today. Together we'll restore the soul of this nation we love. #福編編譯? (編譯個鬼,是世界日報了不起! 大內宣與遍地綠媒鬼遮眼)
