It is one of the great mysteries of this world how the establishment agencies of the western world can keep on using the same playbook on other nations to destabilize them yet those who point this out are so few in number.
Normally you might expect that journalists would step forward to do this, however true investigative journalists in the mainstream now hardly exist, if they exist at all.
Robert Fisk was one of the last. Fisk was barely tolerated within the mainstream toward the end of his life due to his tendency to portray all aspects of the things he saw. When the great man died the glowing obituaries in mainstream news outlets were notable by their absence. John Pilger is another vastly experienced investigative journalist who just clings on to mainstream exposure by the skin of his teeth.
These men presented an awkward problem for the editors of mainstream news organizations and their owners, they had this inconvenient attitude that they would state the facts as they were no matter who they offended, which toes they stepped on or what agendas they risked interrupting.
Regarding Syria, both Fisk and Pilger fearlessly stated the facts as they saw them. It was notable that when they did so this was a barely welcome occurrence if welcome it was at all. The vast majority of so-called journalists tended to portray them as having a somewhat strange take. Being fixed to their desks in each case and quite unknown out in the field they much preferred the standard narrative as delivered by State Department or Foreign Office,
Now, in Xinjiang there is no Fisk to report and the last article published on John Pilger’s website was in December of last year so it seems he is at last tiring of the fray.
However, new young investigative journalists have risen to take their place. But not in the mainstream. Mainstream news appears to have given a collective sigh of relief that all earlier awkward customers in the field of journalism have now departed completely from their ranks. The vital new journalistic blood is all in the independent arena of YouTube and elsewhere, those such as Max Blumenthal, Aaron Maté, Ben Norton, Anya Parampil and Daniel Dumbrill. Max and Daniel in particular are focusing on the issue of the Uyghur minority in Xinjiang, the issue which the West clearly hopes will open a geopolitical fissure in China they can exploit to maximum effect.
Max and Daniel are busily exposing the holes in the narratives being created around the Uyghur Muslims and giving repeated warnings that many in the western world are having their emotional vulnerabilities exploited mercilessly to the potential detriment of millions.
Currently fortunes are being spent to buy and amplify the voices of those attempting to create the maximum possible chaos within this region of China. Myriad activists, many of them linked to organizations advocating, sponsoring and financing terror are being aided and abetted by western NGOs such as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), the agency set up to perform the task the CIA used to in this field.
An extremely well-heeled campaign to assert fabricated narratives about the situation in Xinjiang is in place. It has immense power to manipulate minds via the complicit agreement of mainstream media to provide a direct channel of access to the public mind.
We have seen all this before. Yet, due to the general public's eyes and ears remaining largely invested in a habitual reliance on mainstream media the necessary awareness of the depth of conditioning going on is to all intents and purposes absent. At least this is how things appear. We cannot truly know as public opinion is not reported on such issues. The only mouthpieces to gain exposure are those within mainstream press and televisual media.
The elites of the western world have almost succeeded in their goal of creating a captive audience only hearing and seeing those aspects of fabricated realities they wish that audience to be exposed to. Their only bugbear interrupting this vacuum chamber system of indoctrination are the few souls on social media who continue to attempt investigative journalism interested in discovering the realities within each issue.
How long they will be permitted to do this is a moot point currently as those few souls doing this work are increasingly being accused of spreading misinformation. I leave it to yourself to fully grasp the immense irony behind this accusation.
As to what is really happening in Xinjiang, the facts of which you will not hear from mainstream news outlets, goes something like this:
The Xinjiang region of China has a turbulent history going back many hundreds of years. Various peoples have occupied and ruled various parts of it down the centuries, the Mongols, the Uyghurs, the Han Chinese. It has changed hands many times, finally ending up as an integral part of China.
It could be said that the constant changing of hands there is still in progress. Certainly a section of the Uyghur community wish this and are willing to do almost anything to make it happen. Many dreadful terrorist acts took place there some few years ago, hundreds were killed, both Uyghur and Han Chinese, innocent civilians mown down by trucks or blown apart by bombs.
A group seeking the overthrow of governance in Xinjiang (what they refer to as East Turkestan) was formed in the late 1990s and was then placed on the U.S. list of terrorist groups. It’s name is the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM). The State Department concluded last year that it no longer exists and it was taken off the U.S. list of terrorist organizations. How this conclusion was arrived at was not stated.
This from the United Nations Security Council in 2011:
‘Among the violent acts committed by ETIM members were the blowing up of the warehouse of the Urumqi Train Station on 23 May 1998, the armed looting of 247,000 RMB Yuan in Urumqi on 4 February 1999, an explosion in Hetian City, Xinjiang, on 25 March 1999 and violent resistance against arrest in Xinhe County, Xinjiang, on 18 June 1999. These incidents resulted in the deaths of 140 people and injuries to 371.’
According to the United Nations, ETIM has received support from the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and is still listed by the UN Security Council as a terrorist organization.
Guantanamo had a number of Uyghur prisoners presumably found on the various battlegrounds in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A significant number from the Uyghur population have also fought against the Syrian government during the last decade. They will undoubtedly have had training in all the dark arts of the terrorist trade such as the manufacture and operation of suicide vests and IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices), with possible knowledge of surgically implanted body bombs, chemical/biological weapons and dirty bombs.
The province of Xinjiang has a border with Afghanistan where it is known that many Uyghur fighters operate. There can be little doubt that the transfer of such people back and forth is a common occurrence.
During the time when the Soviet Union had troops in Afghanistan and China was a rival power it set up training camps within Xinjiang which served as a conduit supplying fighters to drive the Russian troops from the centers of power in Afghanistan.
Finally, a relationship began between certain Uyghur Imams and those within the Wahhabi sect of Islam in Saudi Arabia. This resulted in a schism between the more traditional Muslim majority and the new, more radical form of Islam as represented by the Imams moving to the radical version as personified by the Wahhabi leadership. New mosques dedicated to Wahhabi precepts were built financed by Saudi Arabian sources in Xinjiang. You will know well by now I’m sure how the Wahhabi form of Islam leans toward the use of violence again unbelievers.
There can be few that doubt that the Communist government of China and indeed the Chinese people themselves would be a main target as unbelievers to such people. A target too for radical Christians, particularly within the United States who are known to have been active against China elsewhere, such as in Hong Kong.
The main source of so-called news concerning the accusations against the Communist Party of China is himself an extreme example of Christian radicalism, Adrian Zenz.
These are the past and present elements that have resulted in action being taken by the Chinese government to bring a permanent level of stability and safety to the region and the central clues regarding forming a complete picture of events there unavailable through western political circles and mainstream media news.
The end goal is the undermining of the present system of governance in China and its replacement with a form that the United States and its allies find agreeable.
There is no true concern for the well being of the Uyghur minority in Xinjiang. None at all. They are simply a tool to be used, as were the diverse groups of militants in Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. The use of proxy forces is more financially acceptable for the U.S. and UK governments and in terms of deniability and losses of their own troops. Using activists in combination with mainstream media at home and in addition controlling the narrative through the work of NGOs by omitting all inconvenient facts as described above, a virtual vacuum chamber of conditioning “news” can be created.
The great danger now is that all those pointing out the full facts, those who have significant followings on social media such as Max Blumenthal and Daniel Dumbrill will now be focused upon with campaigns to remove their presently very successful platforms and terminate their effect.
Western elites wish to create the same effect as they created to a significant degree in Syria. The desire is to so demonize the target that western elite narratives become unassailable in the public mind as solid fact on both a conscious and subconscious level. With this being the case they can create the maximum degree of chaos within the target location while maintaining a facade of respectability, probity and utmost integrity.
This is what was done in Syria and it is what is occurring in regard to Xinjiang using the Uyghur people as the primary tool to sow maximum death, destruction, instability and chaos before moving on to the next target as planned.
