#20. Biological peace and warfare s2.pt1. "The Great Leaps Forward and the High Qing" [A Side]

We are finally back after the holidays. I have a really massive episode in store for you today! Both in terms of length and subject matter. We will continue our bio-peace and warfare series by looking for an alternative to all the doom and gloom we have experienced so far!

To do this we will go back to the High Qing in the first half of the episode, before the nationalisation of the British East India Company and the opium, before the American Civil war, before the birth of the railroad commodity matrix proper and before the late Victorian Holocausts and the Irish Famine, you know the fable time and land of guardian animals painted blue on to white porcelain that Antoinette and Ludwig would throw at walls during their dinner parties.

This will lead us into an exploration of the Great Leap Forward in the second half, something that I have been promising to go through for the longest time. We will debunk the anti-communist recruited intellectuals, we will get a glimpse of a global think tank network responsible for the revision of this narrative. But most importantly we will study in detail, overlooked anomalies in their data. An investigation that will slam open the door for a much more fascinating history of the power struggles within the CCP during the biggest single agricultural project in mankind's history

Simply put, it's time to allow the return of the repressed!
