China turning into a Potemkin Country?

I came across this story in the Epoch Times about a mostly-unknown crisis in Communist China.

The waning days of Summer

This is the final week of summer vacation for Washington schools. School normally resumes on the Wednesday after Labor Day. I took a stroll by Silver Lake, and here are some observations.

For my readers who still get their news from the legacy media. See what you are missing.

I have often spoken of the press climate around the world. How entire big stories are ignored or actively suppressed by the legacy media (ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, AP, CNN, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post).

May I introduce gifted artist Gemma Matthews from England

Her medium is embroidery, but with an added enhancement. All of her work is done entirely freehand, from her own designs, with NO pattern. None. Take a look at some of her work, and tell me that she is an exceptional artist and designer. https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1946493837263724725?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1943241387815637055?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Breathtaking! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1938901834745168224?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Mind-blowing! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1936144529330938180?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1934953513366569397?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Joyful relaxation https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1933533528987480153?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Lovely …

On Western Civilization

For the past 60 years, the Left has controlled public education and the legacy media. They have been indoctrinating children (schools) and adults (media), to believe that all cultures are equal, and that Western countries and cultures have been oppressing the rest of the world for centuries. So let’s take a look at some manifestations …
