As suggested somewhere else on Twitter: What is the CCP distracting us from by allowing this news to come out? They control internet access in China. But they're not censoring--or only selectively censoring--these videos. They can track the source of these videos.

So--are they at this moment mounting a major campaign against the Uyghurs, or the Tibetans? Is there some environmental disaster of unimaginable extent now ongoing? Is there some espionage scandal expanding?

We're horrified at these images of pets being beaten to death, but Chinese food markets are filled with cages of domestic dogs ready to be butchered.

Societies not disturbed by companion animals seen as a reasonable source of protein are not places we should have been investing in as manufacturing hubs. This is the same society undisturbed by the mutilation of toddler's feet for generations to suit a fashion. Why did we make them rich?

It's staggering to me that the world is standing by, watching this stuff, allowing the Olympics to be there, feeding their economy. What are we doing?

As this video so eloquently puts it:

If I could dine on the world's hypocrisy I'd never need to buy groceries again.

Thanks Maggie, but what courage am I showing? And what's "in the morning"?

From that video I took you to be a No Agenda podcast listener, in which case you would understand the reference.

Ah, I see. I'm not per se, but my two best friends are all about NA. I'm a casual listener and even went to an event a few years ago. But I don't know all the lingo.

However, NA was the first place I'd heard about gain of function. They really are the first to propose things a lot of times. Such a valuable resource.

You can bet “world leaders” are watching in envy & planning to implement similar if they can get away w/ it, just like in March 2020. Have you seen even ONE “world leader” or the pope or any elites decry & denounce this??

It is in Joe Biden's interest to have this continue through November.

Are they daring is to stop them, or is this the brick through our window, marked, "yOu'Re nExT."

That's chilling. Is this a purposeful preview for all the world to see? An example of what's coming right to our door?

What a terrifying comment. Can you imagine if and when the Chinese shut that off? To a city of 25 MILLION people?
