The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.
Just another example of the Trump admin trying to intimidate protestors using whatever the fuck they can to bring up whatever charges they can.
Alright, so I dug into Tibet a little bit, which was a giant pain. It’s basically a wall of western media and “non-profits.” I do recall this history a bit, but it’s been quite awhile since I’ve read about it.
So America’s big shtick is spreading democracy, which is hilarious, right? What happened with Tibet is China freed a million people from feudalism, and for some reason we’re upset about it. If the west would have gotten to them first they would have thrown some right wing Hitler wannabe in charge, Nestle or something other giant shitty corporation would have exploited the ever living hell out of everyone, and we wouldn’t have heard about it again… China pushes education through socialism and every CIA/Israel backed “non-profit” loses their shit.
It was quite awhile ago, and it’s interesting. I’ll definitely be looking for some literature on the topic.
The 9 dash line thing, I don’t have much of an opinion. Maritime law is also not my thing.
