CNN Accidentally Busts Xinjiang Genocide Lies




Brian Berletic | CNN admits it cannot independently verify an alleged former Chinese police officer who claims to have partaken in interrogations involving torture and witnessing sexual abuse in China’s Xinjiang region against its Uyghur population. However, CNN could have easily cross referenced his spoken and written statements from June 7, 2021 as part of the so-called “Uyghur Tribunal” where he completely contradicts the claims he made to CNN.

Worse still, CNN never mentions that the alleged former police officer and others they interviewed took part in the tribunal, or that the tribunal even took place…

"funded by the US government"

"the National Endowment For Democracy"

"China denies accusations from the United States that it has detained up to two million Uyghurs - many of them Muslim - in a system of modern day internment camps in the Xinjiang region in northwestern China"

"CNN cannot independently verify his allegations"

"they get him to say all of these horrible things but all of these horrible things that he says to CNN directly contradicts what he told the Uyghur tribunal back in June 7 2021"

"they could have cross-referenced that with his testimony in June but apparently they didn`t"

"did you witness any sexual harassment or rape against the prisoners"

"well it is a topic that I never liked to discuss therefore I never made any inquiry regarding this"

"on one hand he`s saying he was interrogating and torturing people - on the other he said he wasn`t even doing interrogations"

"and if you watched the entire statement during the tribunal he even says that it was at another facility that he had nothing to do with and then he`s claiming he was taking part and witnessed all of this sexual abuse and rape and then on the other hand he`s saying he didn`t think about it - he never so much as even asked about it"

Depending on the public’s ignorance and providing links AP is confident readers will not click on, explore, and discover the contradictions they present to their narrative, AP attempts to backpedal Western narratives to depict the peace and progress they witnessed in Xinjiang as an facade for “invisible” oppression.

Canada declares genocide in Xinjiang Carl Zha | I spoke with Justin Podur to discuss the unanimous declaration by the Canadian parliament (followed by the Netherlands parliament days later) in February 2021 that a genocide is taking place in Xinjiang. What is really behind this declaration, and how can Canadian history, and Chinese history, help us think about the issue?

Cultural erasure - Tracing the destruction of Uyghur and Islamic spaces in Xinjiang The Chinese Government has embarked on a systematic and intentional campaign to rewrite the cultural heritage of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). It’s seeking to erode and redefine the culture of the Uyghurs and other Turkic-speaking communities—stripping away any Islamic, transnational or autonomous elements—in order to render those indigenous cultural traditions subservient to the ‘Chinese nation’.

Playing Genocide Politics: The Zenz-Xinjiang Case In July 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for “using forced sterilization, forced abortion, and coercive family planning against Uyghurs and other minorities in Xinjiang.” Stunningly, Pompeo based the charge on just one source: “German researcher Adrian Zenz’s shocking revelations.”

Thoroughly reforming them towards a healthy heart attitude: China`s political re-education campaign in Xinjiang Since spring 2017, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China has witnessed the emergence of an unprecedented re-education campaign. According to media and informant reports, untold thousands of Uyghurs and other Muslims have been and are being detained in clandestine political re-education facilities, with major implications for society, local economies and ethnic relations. Considering that the Chinese state is currently denying the very existence of these facilities, this paper investigates publicly available evidence from official sources, including government websites, media reports and other Chinese internet sources. First, it briefly charts the history and present context of political re-education. Second, it looks at the recent evolution of re-education in Xinjiang in the context of ‘de-extremification’ work. Finally, it evaluates detailed empirical evidence pertaining to the present re-education drive. With Xinjiang as the ‘core hub’ of the Belt and Road Initiative, Beijing appears determined to pursue a definitive solution to the Uyghur question.

Claims regarding Xinjiang re-education centres based on media and personal testimony of Uyghur activists.

Americas Populists Join in on Anti-China War Propaganda Brian Berletic | When consensus for war is reached on the left and right of American politics, the march toward inevitable war is rarely stopped. Watching Breaking Points - what many might have believed was “progressive left” in the United States - invite an adjunct fellow at an arms/oil/banking-funded think tank on to sell war with China is a warning sign of just how dangerously close the US is to reaching that “consensus.”

China vs Taiwan? Australia`s Dangerous War Propaganda Brian Berletic | Australia’s media is in overdrive producing dangerous war propaganda priming the public for war with China. In this Sky News Australia “Mcgregor Angle” segment, every single point made in the introduction is a blatant lie contradicting both Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense and the Australian government’s own official statements and policies.

Inflection Ep16: Taiwan as America’s battering ram vs. China This week we talk about Taiwan, the Mainland, and how the US withdrawal from Afghanistan bodes for the government in Taipei.

We also discuss the recent “declaration of war” by the US-backed parallel government in Myanmar - the “National Unity Government” and how this conflict continues inching toward a Libya-style scenario.

Laowhy86: The Man Who Moved China It is becoming increasingly easy for many to see through Western propaganda but it is also important to be able to break it down for others - who are still fooled by it - to understand and see through it too. Toward that end, I have watched Matthew Tye’s humbly-titled video: “I forced China to Change its Propaganda” and deconstruct the leaning shack of lies he attempted to build.

US Marines in Taiwan: A De Facto US Occupation of Chinese Territory Brian Berletic |The Western media has “revealed” that US troops have been in Taiwan for over a year, secretly, and only being revealed now. In reality, this was already reported on a year ago - and also denied by the Pentagon - only to be finally confirmed a year later.

I explain how the Pentagon’s denial last year reveals just how provocative and dangerous this move by the US is and how it represents a de facto invasion and occupation of Chinese territory - according to the US State Department’s own stance regarding Taiwan within the “One China Policy.”

US War Propaganda vs China & the War it Seeks to Start with Daniel Dumbrill Daniel Dumbrill and Brian Berletic discuss the troubling escalation of anti-China propaganda, how it appears to fit into a general steering of the public toward a potential war with China, and how US policymakers and war planners have extensively prepared for a limited conflict aimed not at military conquest, but of China’s economic ruination.

Uyghur Tribunal: US-Funded Theater Attacking China The so-called “Uyghur Tribunal” is portrayed by the Western media as an “independent” “people’s tribunal.” In reality, the main organizations initiating it, funding it, and facilitating it are funded by the US government primarily through the National Endowment for Democracy. Those “testifying” come from a regular troupe of “activists” paraded around by the US government for years.

If a real “genocide” was taking place in Xinjiang involving millions of people, why is it that this tribunal relies on this small network of US-funded fronts instead of tapping into what should be an endless supply of witnesses and actual, tangible evidence?
