🇹🇼🇹🇼❌🇨🇳 — On October 6, 2024 AD, the New President of Republic of China ("Taiwan"), Lai Ching-te, from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) made a somewhat controversial statement, but openly accepted even among the Chinese Nationalist Opposition based on the self-governing island

➡️ Speaking at a concert ahead of Taiwan’s national day celebrations on 10 October, Lai noted that the People’s Republic had celebrated its 75th anniversary on 1 October and in a few days it would be the Republic of China’s 113th birthday.

“Therefore, in terms of age, it is absolutely impossible for the People’s Republic of China to become the motherland of the Republic of China’s people. On the contrary, the Republic of China may be the motherland of the people of the People’s Republic of China who are over 75 years old,” Lai added, to applause.

➡️ Lai Ching-Te, which is perceived as a Taiwanese Separatist by the current authorities in Beijing, rejects Mainland China’s sovereignty claims, saying the island is a country called the 🇨🇳 Republic of China that traces its origins back to the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, which overthrew Manchu-led 🇨🇳 Qing Dynasty

📝 Historiographically-speaking, Mr. Lai is right as the Chinese de Jure Government led by the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan Island in 1949 after losing a civil war with Soviet-backed Mao Zedong’s communists after the Nationalists faced a brutal war with practically no support (except the American aid) against the Japanese Empire. After seizing power in Mainland, Mao set up the People’s Republic of China, which continues to claim the Island as its territory.

🛸 According to a Report by the Wall Street Journal; Senior U.S. Defense Officials are Stumped, by an Incident which occurred over several Nights last December in the Sky over several Military Bases in the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia, including the U.S. Navy’s Largest Base on the East Coast, Naval Station Norfolk as well as Langley Air Force Base and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story.

Officials, including U.S. Air Force General Mark Kelly who was a Witness of the Event, say that over several Nights a Swarm of Drones, some believed to be as long as 20 Feet and flying at over 100 Miles per Hour, were seen flying at an Altitude of roughly 2,500 Feet over Langley and the then South towards Naval Station Norfolk and other Bases along the Virginia Coastline, with it claimed to have sounded like a “Parade of Lawnmowers.”

With these Events, leading to Two Weeks of Meetings at the White House involving multiple Agencies, including the Defense Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pentagon’s UFO Office, to determine what these Drones are and where they are coming from; though almost No Information has been Publicly Released, other than its believed the Drones were not being flown by Hobbyists, but instead likely a Hostile Power, like China or Russia.

The Incident is said to be similar to something that occurred in October of 2023 at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nevada National Security Site, which is used for Nuclear Weapon Experimentation outside of Las Vegas; in which several Drones were seen over the Facility over a Three-Day Period, leading to a System being installed which could Detect and Counter the Drones.

🇵🇱 September 5th 2024 | Polish opposition condemns police raids on organisers of Independence March

Polish opposition leader Jarosław Kaczyński has condemned yesterday’s searches by police of properties linked to the annual Independence March. He called on supporters to join a demonstration next week “against this attack on Polish patriotism”.

Prosecutors say the raids were carried out as part of an investigation into suspected crimes committed at the march, which is organised every year on 11 November – Poland’s Independence Day – by far-right groups but which also attracts participants from the mainstream right.

However, Kaczyński, leader of the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, characterised the development as part of efforts by the government to “pacify” the population and thereby make it easier to bring Poland under foreign rule.

They said that recordings appeared to show a member of the march’s security force making a criminal threat of violence against another person and that chants by participants constituted an unlawful threat against an individual or group due to their national, ethnic, racial, political or religious affiliation.
