ED HARRISON – Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily.
00:00:03.440
I want everyone to strap yourselves in because today is going to be a China-heavy episode.
00:00:08.400
First up, Chinese generals are pressuring Xi to give them the green light on a Taiwan invasion.
00:00:14.800
Next, a shade war update. Kamala Harris and John Kerry now getting in on the activity.
00:00:20.320
Third, we're going to deconstruct the Facebook whistleblower's faux testimony from yesterday.
00:00:24.880
And finally, the Chinese economy is facing a three-punch combo.
00:00:28.560
We'll get all into that and more up ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:00:42.400
The situation in Taiwan, I think a lot of people have seen this over the past few weeks
00:00:46.880
and in the Pacific writ large, is heating up. Now, a lot of people want to say, all right,
00:00:51.680
this is just bluster. China just had their anniversary of the Chinese Communist takeover,
00:00:56.560
their national day, October 1st. That's why they did this. I want you to take a look.
00:01:00.240
Map break. These are all the incursions, over 150 of Chinese fighter craft into Taiwan airspace,
00:01:08.320
their air defensive identification zone, since 1st September. Since just September 1st of this year,
00:01:14.880
about one month, this is all the incursions. Understand the importance, not only of that strait,
00:01:19.920
but the shipping lanes that are there. Think of how much of the world's maritime trade and commercial
00:01:26.000
shipping goes by on those lanes. That is what this is all about. It's also all about the semiconductors.
00:01:32.560
What we are hearing, according to sources from the Taiwan Ministry of Defense,
00:01:37.360
the Chinese generals are telling Xi they want the green light. Now, of course, these are the hardliners,
00:01:45.840
and you have a new general that's at the head of the PLA Air Force. But you've also got people
00:01:50.400
that are more moderate saying, we want to stay the course. We want to continue the sort of gray
00:01:54.720
zone attacks. And there are also a lot of indications from the White House now, what we're hearing,
00:02:00.160
as well as others in the national security agencies, that what happened with Facebook,
00:02:05.040
that what happened with the other social media entities earlier this week was perhaps a dry
00:02:11.360
run. Remember, when Russia took Crimea, one of the very first things they did was shut down
00:02:16.400
communications and shut down the internet. And you're seeing that happen here across the United
00:02:21.040
States. And keep in mind, this was not done kinetically. This was done via cyber means. Now,
00:02:27.440
we know that this is being investigated, this is being looked into, but that got a lot of people
00:02:32.480
to pay attention very quickly. And notice that Facebook and the entire mainstream media does not
00:02:38.560
want to talk about this one. I want to show you another video. This is the first time a fighter
00:02:45.440
aircraft has taken off from a Japanese aircraft carrier since 1945, since World War II. And the
00:02:52.480
aircraft that's taking off is flown by the U.S. Marine Corps. Watch this. This is absolute history.
00:03:36.480
So I want to show you some other images that we're getting now from the South China Sea
00:04:07.660
You've got a whole armada that is sailing through that South China Sea, and they're planning
00:04:12.420
to sail around the Philippines and then all the way around to India because this is completely
00:04:18.940
So understand what's going on to U.S. aircraft carrier groups, as well as the British and
00:04:28.780
Now, this is the plan that was being put in place prior to this administration coming in.
00:04:36.260
And I want to show you another map of what's called the first island chain and the second
00:04:42.320
These are areas of maritime defense between the U.S. and its allies and then China, mainland
00:04:49.580
Keep in mind, mainland China claims all of the South China Sea is theirs, up to and of course,
0.98
00:04:55.900
All of the other countries say that should be international waters.
00:05:04.540
Will that area of the South China Sea, including Taiwan, continue to be international waters?
00:05:14.660
You don't want to talk about the blockade that's going on, the shipping backlog on the
00:05:20.120
Imagine what happens when China takes over the entire South China Sea.
00:05:30.040
That's not us saying that that's what we think they're going to do.
00:05:33.040
That's them actually saying we are going to take the 9-nash line.
00:05:36.180
So understand, there are people on both sides of the strait that want to go to blows over
00:05:43.180
And you've got people right now in Beijing saying that our president in the United States
00:05:46.960
is weak and now is the time to strike, just like Crimea the last time he was in the White
0.90
00:05:59.060
Now, I want people to understand as well, and if the producers, if you can throw up that
00:06:02.660
graphic of the incursions over the Taiwanese airspace again, OK, get that up, what we're
00:06:08.100
seeing here is an attempt by China to provoke Taiwan into reacting with their AAA, their
0.66
00:06:15.480
anti-aircraft artillery, through scrambling, and then doing something, which they have
00:06:20.640
By the way, they have scrambled fighters, counterfeiters to this, in order to provoke them so that
00:06:29.120
Do you understand how it's a game of chicken that's going on right here?
00:06:33.600
For example, Hu Xijin, who is affiliated with Global Times, he's the editor-in-chief of Global
00:06:41.660
The PLA already has the ability now to liberate Taiwan at one stroke.
0.90
00:06:50.020
That the mainland hasn't taken the action is a goodwill of Beijing to treasure cross-straits
00:06:56.640
I worry that the goodwill could be abused by Taiwan and the war is triggered suddenly.
0.96
00:07:08.500
They want to make it look like Taiwan provoked the war and then use that as a cause of spell-e,
00:07:16.580
Essentially use that as their cause for war to say it's time to go in to remove this rogue
00:07:21.380
government and liberate the Chinese people of Taiwan.
00:07:23.800
That's exactly what the propaganda line will be.
00:07:27.500
But before we get into that anymore, it's time once again for a Shade War update.
00:07:34.900
So if you remember, one thing that we've been telling you about consistently
00:07:41.960
is that the White House is split into two factions.
00:07:45.500
There's Team B and there's Team K, Team Biden, Team Kamala.
00:07:49.100
And Team B keeps wanting to find these various issues that look like they're not going to
00:07:54.140
do very well, whether it be stimulus checks, the economy, vaccines, the border, et cetera,
00:07:59.740
and give that to Kamala Harris, put that on her plate, make that part of her portfolio
0.97
00:08:03.520
so that they can make it look like she was the one responsible because they know it's going
00:08:08.720
The latest thing that we're hearing out of the White House is that none other than Jake
00:08:15.300
He was a guy that pushed the phony RussiGate dossier, pushed so much of the phony RussiGate
00:08:20.140
Now he's your national security advisor, which I just enjoy that.
00:08:23.060
He wants to send Kamala Harris to Taiwan as a special envoy and have her make a trip there
00:08:31.960
to make it seem as if that's going to shut down.
00:08:37.600
But Jake, you got to be a little smarter than that.
00:08:41.580
But something interesting is going on because today we actually have to do a double Shade
00:08:47.200
War update because we've got a new clip from John Kerry.
00:08:51.880
And President Biden asked me about it and I told him and expressed.
00:09:00.460
And I explained exactly, he had not been aware of that.
00:09:04.820
He literally had not been aware of what had transpired.
00:09:09.760
And I don't want to go into the details of it, but suffice it to say that the president,
00:09:16.800
my president, is very committed to strengthening the relationship and making sure that this
00:09:25.580
is a small event of the past and moving on to the much more important future.
00:09:29.900
So John Kerry saying this massive breach of U.S. diplomacy with France, literally our
00:09:35.360
oldest ally, that Biden had no idea what was going on.
00:09:48.060
Parenthetically, when you build a charging station, it's like back in the day when my grandpa worked
00:09:53.340
for the American oil company back in the turn of this in the 19, 19, 20 in that area, they
00:09:59.180
went from state to state convincing people that they put, allow them to put 20,000 gallons
00:10:19.460
I think the rest of the world can see this president.
00:10:27.380
He's not exactly the one who is making the decisions.
00:10:31.180
So when Kerry says that, and by the way, Kerry is absolutely throwing Biden under the bus.
00:10:35.920
And I think it's because that Kerry can see all of these problems going on throughout
00:10:40.760
the world, but they've kind of they've kind of pigeonholed him.
00:10:43.940
They've they've kind of put him on the shelf in this climate position.
00:10:46.860
So you've got him now going over to France, but then opining on something to do with larger
00:10:52.080
Biden administration policies, essentially being that that France situation and throwing
00:11:00.540
You know, you understand what's happening here, folks.
00:11:01.940
Now you have a situation where the shade war has opened up multilateral fronts.
00:11:16.060
Really, what's going on here is that you're seeing more and more people speak publicly against
00:11:27.060
Have Jen Psaki saying something snarky about them at the White House briefing?
00:11:31.140
And by the way, do you remember when they tried to make sake bomb a thing?
00:11:36.940
And all these like blue check libs, I call them blue anons, were trying to make this like
1.00
00:11:42.960
It was such a force meme and nobody says it anymore.
00:11:46.000
This administration has lost the support even of their fellow Democrats.
00:11:51.300
Even you got even John Kerry, you got lurch out there throwing you under the bus.
00:12:01.140
Now, I told you today we were going to be talking about China.
00:12:06.100
And yet, I also have to talk about this faux Facebook whistleblower who completely glows in
00:12:13.300
And if you want to get a sense of how that ties to China, it's actually quite simple.
00:12:20.980
This is the axis of authoritarianism between the 1% in the United States and the CCP.
00:12:30.460
The idea that our relationship with China has not made them more open and transparent.
00:12:36.300
Our relationship with China has made us more authoritarian.
0.96
00:12:39.860
Now, listen to what she said in the hearing yesterday.
00:12:43.540
Yesterday, we saw Facebook get taken off the Internet.
00:12:47.420
I don't know why I went down, but I know that for more than five hours, Facebook wasn't used
00:12:52.460
to deepen divides, destabilize democracies, and make young girls and women feel bad about
00:12:59.520
I also believe there needs to be a dedicated oversight body, because right now, the only
00:13:03.800
people in the world who are trained to analyze these experiments, to understand what's happening
00:13:08.380
inside of Facebook, are people who grew up inside of Facebook, or Pinterest, or another
00:13:15.040
And there needs to be a regulatory home where someone like me could do a tour of duty after
00:13:19.940
working at a place like this, and have a place to work on things like regulation, to
00:13:24.680
bring that information out to the oversight boards that have the right to do oversight.
00:13:30.180
A regulatory agency within the federal government?
00:13:32.440
Probably the most Orwellian thing you could possibly hear, right?
00:13:40.280
A whistleblower is someone who comes out and then details nefarious misdeeds of a company
00:13:45.820
in order to expose the company and right the wrongs that it's done.
00:13:52.120
She hasn't revealed any information that we didn't already know about Facebook whatsoever.
00:13:56.700
What this is, it's a political operation that's being run on the American people.
00:14:07.200
We also found out, and I reported this exclusively at humanevents.com, so go there and check this
00:14:11.900
out, that not only is she someone who's being repped by the lawyers for Eric Charamella, the
00:14:19.160
guy who was the whistleblower, whistleblower, in the first Trump impeachment, that she also
00:14:29.160
That's the same Bryson Gillette that used to be the PR firm of none other than Jen Psaki,
00:14:37.660
Jen Psaki's press firm, Eric Charamella's legal team.
00:14:43.980
And further, we also reported at Human Events that I was able to break the story that these
00:14:50.200
Remember she said she had a friend who was involved with conspiracy theories.
00:14:55.140
I had someone who was able to reach out to someone very close to the whistleblower and
00:15:03.620
find out what exactly were these conspiracy theories that you lost your friend over.
00:15:08.740
The men's rights red pill movement, right?
0.99
00:15:19.800
She's going to be going to the EU, and she's going to be testifying there over the course
00:15:34.240
You want the power of the government to come in and censor.
00:15:37.880
And they understand, by the way, they understand that because people are leaving Facebook, they're
00:15:43.240
People are starting parallel utilities, such as Getter, parallel platforms.
00:15:47.980
Getter, Telegram, Rumble Video is a great example.
00:15:57.540
Like when Mike Lindell was starting to be canceled everywhere, that he finally went and
00:16:01.580
was able to go to Getter and go to all these other places.
00:16:03.500
And by the way, where you can also go and use promo code POSO for up to 66% off.
00:16:08.180
But seriously, the situation is that the only answer for the censors is to not be able to
00:16:19.920
But by the way, I started looking into the resume of Frances Haugen.
00:16:25.080
She was a member of the civic integrity team for Facebook in 2020.
00:16:31.140
However, that was the team that censored the New York Post's Hunter Biden story about the
00:16:38.400
laptop in October 2020, the greatest October surprise in U.S. political history.
00:16:47.520
Funny enough, she isn't talking about that when she's before Congress and on 60 Minutes.
00:17:01.140
Now, since we're talking about China today, I want to get into what's going on inside of
00:17:06.360
China, what kind of internal pressures Xi Jinping is dealing with.
00:17:09.560
And by the way, it's Chairman Xi, Xi Zhu Xi, not President Xi, Xi Zong Tong.
00:17:18.360
He is the chairman, Chairman Xi, just like Chairman Mao.
00:17:21.800
Now, the pressures that he's faced with are interesting.
00:17:25.160
So on one hand, he's got an economic shortage, economic issues because of the collapse of
00:17:31.640
He's also got a massive energy shortage due to the coal issues that are going on.
00:17:35.820
I want to run a clip right now where they kind of talk about this, but they blame it
00:17:40.500
on, you know, this is from Chinese media, from Xinhua.
00:17:43.340
So understand that you're getting their version of events where it's not really his fault.
00:17:48.140
It's just sort of this nebulous reasoning that goes through and you're not something to
00:17:55.360
China is making all-out efforts to ensure the nation's power supply after power outages
00:18:00.680
halted factory production and hit families in some regions, amid calls for a better electricity
00:18:05.880
pricing mechanism and improved energy structure.
00:18:09.040
The power squeeze has compelled multiple provinces in China to implement power rationing, with
00:18:14.300
factory operation hours limited and power usage capped.
00:18:18.120
According to officials and industry analysts, the power shortages are born from a combination
00:18:22.680
of factors, including the country's heavy reliance on coal, the instability of clean power,
00:18:28.440
and surging production activities bolstered by pent-up demand amid economic recovery.
00:18:33.560
China has moved fast in coping with the power crunch, taking a slew of measures to ensure
00:18:38.200
household power supplies and keep factories of the world's second-largest economy running.
00:18:43.280
The National Development and Reform Commission has urged promoting the signing of mid- to long-term
00:18:48.400
coal supply contracts to secure sufficient coal, especially for household use.
00:18:53.680
The country's largest utility company, the State Grid Corporation of China, has pledged
00:19:00.340
But there was a great column over at Epoch Times, and this was by Milton Esrati, and I wanted
00:19:07.100
So go over to Epoch Times, check this out, support them.
00:19:10.180
They cover not only what's going on in China, but also the persecution of Favre Nguyen, which
00:19:15.640
His headline, China's economy hit with a three-punch combination.
00:19:20.840
China's economy has had a rough summer, first hit by a rise in COVID-19, another rise going
00:19:26.620
on with COVID-19 in China, which we were told that China's supposed to be perfect.
00:19:30.220
Then Evergrande, this real estate giant, which is actually a shadow bank, looks like it's
00:19:35.740
And finally, power shortages throughout the country.
00:19:40.180
Beijing's manufacturing index sank to 49.6 from 50.1 in August.
00:19:53.700
You're even potentially seeing, you know, just skipping through, they're looking at maybe
00:20:01.300
You're not going to have supplies getting to the United States because what?
00:20:06.620
So we're not going to be, this is like, and we're going into fourth quarter.
00:20:10.640
This is everything that's supposed to be going on for retail in terms of the U.S.
00:20:14.440
You're not going to be able to get your products from China.
00:20:16.900
So that means the shelves in the U.S. are going to go bare.
00:20:19.420
Then, if they also hit bigger manufacturing issues, you're going to see unemployment skyrocket
00:20:29.680
What's the number one movie that the CCP is pushing?
00:20:33.240
It's a movie about the Korean War, a brand new movie that just came out, and about the
00:20:38.140
Chinese army fighting and defeating the Americans.
00:20:44.860
They are trying, and Xi Jinping is trying to focus their people, the La Baixing and the
1.00
00:20:50.040
people of China, away from their economic problems with Taiwan and America, and using
0.61
00:20:55.920
belligerence as an ability to essentially get them away from, divide them from paying
00:21:01.200
attention to all the problems that are happening.
00:21:03.360
Thank you so much again for following Human Events Daily.
00:21:09.520
We are the Cliff Notes of War Room, the bottom line up front.
00:21:17.640
We're actually now in the top three Apple podcasts.
00:21:20.440
We've still been able to be there, even though, of course, ideals still do say that we're actually
00:21:24.320
in the top two, because that NBC one, that's not actually a political podcast.
00:21:28.540
But just thank you from the bottom of my heart.
00:21:30.200
God bless to each and every single one of you for sharing this out and doing what you're
00:21:40.240
Today in 1981, the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat by a group of radical
00:21:51.880
That's all the time we have for Human Events Daily.
00:21:53.380
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
