Fabian Socialism, Biosecurity State and Pharma

The discussion posits that the U.S. government operates as a "one-party system" using Fabian Socialist tactics to gradually push boundaries.

Illegal Immigration, Impact on Black Communities

China's "Left-Behind" Children and Human Trafficking

A report from "China Uncensored" highlights the plight of 150 million "left-behind" children in China, whose parents must move to cities for work. Some of these children are kept in cages by grandparents to prevent them from being kidnapped and sold into the country's booming sex and labor trafficking industries. US Representative Chris Smith has labeled China the sex and labor trafficking capital of the world, a stark contrast to the "woke" image the NBA ignores.
