"when Xi was fifteen, his father was sent to prison and Xi was one of the nearly thirty million ‘sent-down youth’ who were forced to work in the Chinese countryside for ‘re-education’ as part of Mao’s ‘Down to the Countryside’ movement. He ended up in a remote village of the Shaanxi province where, Chinese state media often claims, he lived in a cave dwelling for nearly seven years. According to Xi himself, these seven years were transformative. ‘When I arrived at the Yellow Earth at fifteen, I was anxious and confused,’ wrote Xi in 1998, by which time he was a rising star in the Communist Party. ‘When I left the Yellow Earth at twenty-two, my life goals were firm and I was filled with confidence.’"
From another article:
"Xi Jinping was the son of Xi Zhongxun, who once served as deputy prime minister of China and was an early comrade-in-arms of Mao Zedong. The elder Xi, however, was often out of favour with his party and government, especially before and during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76) and after he openly criticized the government’s actions during the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident."
Articles are worth a read and gives you a feel for why he may have flipped. For him it all appears rather personal.

Couldnt sleep tonight so I decided to try my hand at making a meme in video format. Its the first video I've ever done and I think it turned out alright. When the photos of the taliban at the amusement park first dropped the meme im presenting was all i could see or hear in my head. I included a GAW shout out at the end so that if you guys happen to like it too and feel like sharing it on other social media it would help spread the word even further about this place.
Thats all I got. Stay frosty frens.
Excellent video with full historical breakdown of the transition to FIAT and why. I dont necessarily agree with the "green" cult vibes towards the end but 90% of the video is solid historical info that less people are aware of then should be. This is a great vid to share with your lib family memebers. Get their toes in the water and thinking. It's a great convo starter and if we can get people to start meeting us halfway we can overcome anything on this planet.
Knowledge is power, knowledge is ammo.
Tonight is the harvest moon and a full one at that. This is traditionally the month of corn harvest particularly in Maryland (according to brief google search). In post 3708 we get:
[Corn] harvest. 5:5? Q
In drop 3525: Was the corn ripe for harvesting? It is now. [ 93 dk]
Interesting considering the Sussman story. Anyways. Just a random observation and thought I had while staring at the moon.
