Antman is finally gonna get banned from twitter now.

Racist posting is fine, but a foreigner posting about how they prefer China over the US gets attention.

Corn Huang, a student at National Taiwan University and long-time fan of Lai, said she appreciates how Lai fights back.

“She uses a really unique method to deal with all kinds of questions about her academic qualifications, appearance, and relationship— which was difficult for many female legislators to do in the past,” Huang said.

Directed energy attacks are a crank conspiracy theory circulated by paranoid schizophrenics who think they're being gangstalked by the CIA. These alleged microwave attacks in Syria have no credible evidence. Just speculation that "some troops got flu-like symptoms so obviously the Russians are using a brain scrambling ray". This is propaganda bullshit. Unfortunately the blue MAGA crowd will eat it up uncritically.

The government must be getting really desperate to recycle James Tilly Matthews style delusions:

quote:

Matthews' delusions had a definite political slant: he claimed that the purpose of this gang was espionage, and that there were many other such gangs armed with Air Looms all over London, using "pneumatic practitioners" to "premagnetize" potential victims with "volatile magnetic fluid". According to Matthews, their chief targets (apart from himself) were leading government figures. By means of their "rays" they could influence ministers' thoughts and read their minds. Matthews declared that William Pitt was "not half" susceptible to these attacks[3] and held that these gangs were responsible for the British military disasters at Buenos Aires in 1807 and Walcheren in 1809 and also for the Nore Mutiny of 1797.

I read the linked politico article on which this is based cause I wanted to find out about this:

quote:

The sources told Politico that the probe includes one fall 2020 incident in Syria in which several U.S. troops developed flu-like symptoms, with lawmakers also briefed on other suspected injuries sustained by troops.

Flu-like symptoms in 2020? I can think of a few causes likelier than space lasers. turns out it’s not even that, probably bad MREs:

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/22/pentagon-russia-attacks-us-troops-484150 posted:

A former national security official told POLITICO that, in one instance, officials suspected that directed energy had injured a Marine in Syria; but a Pentagon investigation later concluded that the Marine’s symptoms were the result of food poisoning.

It’s pretty amazing for the Hill to leave that part out and it is forever tarnished in my mind as “so bad it’s objectively worse than Politico”

Sinophobes want to recreate the Chinese Exclusion Act in increments. "We're not racist, we just hate the evil Chinese government. Also, all Chinese students are potential enemies and spies and we should pay colleges to exclude them." The Trump administration already reduced Chinese student visas by over 90% but that wasn't enough for the racist shitbag writer at the Hill.

I think dating a Chinese exchange student at my tier 3 state college was what started me on the path from China hating liberal type to my current self. She was the daughter of a farmer and her job she wanted to do was 'administrator'. Apparently we had decent public management classes.


Anyways I got to thinking that if the government was paying for her to travel and explore the world while I was going massively in debt for a poo poo school maybe they weren't as bad as the news said

i also wonder if part of the reason chinese exchange students have the weird rap they seem to get in the us is because they’re giant nerd bookworms. i don’t think normies usually qualify for those foreign schooling scholarship programs, but im basically talking out of my rear end here

Idk that was true of about 70 percent of the Chinese exchange students (that I knew) at our school. But like I said we weren't a top tier school.
