This article seems a fairly accurate portrayal of how the Chinese
Communists have been successfully working for decades to infiltrate
every aspect of American life -- government, military, media, tech,
electrical grid, banks, businesses, colleges. According to the
article, this really took off when Clinton de-linked China relations
to human rights in 1994, allowing China to pursue these activities
while conducting war crimes on their own people that the world hasn't
seen since the 1930s, and the Nazi genocide. China has greatly
expanded its capabilities by joining the World Trade Organization in
2000, which has been disastrous, and is using torture and slave labor
to boost its economy.
The Trump administration was aware of the danger, and took many
steps to stop it. However, the Biden administration is implementing
wholesale reversals of Trump policies, with no regard to the
danger of doing so.
The Biden administration, the Democrats, the media, and the high-tech
companies all are deeply embedded in relationships with the Chinese
Communists, and they've colluded to move in the direction of a
Stalinist dictatorship, to prevent anyone from speaking out against
the disastrous policies of the Biden administration. They've been
very successful with that so far, which is why I call this the darkest
time in America in my memory. It is now almost impossible to
criticize the Biden administration without being shut down.
The article compares these policies to similar policies by the Chinese
Communists -- using censorship, lockdowns and isolation to control
people, and keep themselves in power. The Democrats are in deadly
fear of the 74 million Trump supporters, and they're employing every
tactic they can to isolate those people and keep them under control.
As one analyst on Fox News put it, they're doing everything they can
to prevent the Trump supporters from forming a new Tea Party.
The article is a good analysis of how we got to this point, but it
makes one big error.
In Athens, the Rule of the Thirty Tyrants was forcibly imposed by
Sparta after Sparta had defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian War.

So the article will apply fully only if China defeats America in war
and takes control of the government, and then uses that power to
install an oligarchy similar to the 80 Tyrants. They already have a
head start because their massive social database already has detailed
personal information about millions of Americans, particularly those
in politics, the army and police. Furthermore, as in the case after
the Peloponnesian War, there is an existing body of politicians -- the
Democrats -- who would welcome installation of the Tyrants by the
Chinese Communists as long as they, the Democrats, have control.
