Darrell Castle talks about China and the history of how U.S. manufacturing was shipped to the Chinese Communist Party to exploit its cheap labor. Transcription / Notes: IT’S NOT CHINA—IT’S THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, June 5, 2020 and on today’s report I will be talking about China from the perspective of what all the recent “news” is about. As you may guess I have my own views on the subject which I will endeavor to share with you today. My intention was to talk about issue number one which of course is the killing of George Floyd and its aftermath, but I have gained little if any traction with my own views on the subject, so I proceed to issue number two which is China. Perhaps I can share my views on Mr. Floyd and the aftermath of his death at some other point. What is going on between China and the United States right now amounts to the result of an un-written but spoken agreement that was started in what seems like ancient history now. Before I get to that let me pause for a moment and say that when we say China did this or that, we are making a serious mistake. The rest of the world, especially in places like China and the Middle East, believe that the United States is a self-governing country. We elect our leaders, they presume, so when our leaders do something, they conclude that America did it. In their minds we are responsible for the acts of our government because we can vote. We Americans often do the same thing with China. Let me give you this example; In a fund raising letter I received from a congressman in Michigan who is also a retired army general, “It is irrefutable that China is responsible for the unchecked spread of the Corona Virus—they need to be held responsible for the havoc they have caused to our nation.” I don’t dispute the veracity of what the general said, but when he says China is responsible, I disagree. China consists of about 1.5 billion people and probably no more than about 500 of them had anything to do with the virus. Most of the 500, and that number is just a guess, are members of the National People’s Congress or the ruling body of the Chinese Communist Party. It would be more accurate and less inflammatory to say the Chinese Communist Party is responsible for the unchecked spread of the corona virus. We would then have a better, and clearer picture of where to put the blame. The Chinese government has a big advantage in these things because it is completely despotic. There are no meaningful elections and the Communist Party selects its own leaders and membership. Any leader anywhere in China from village mayor to Party Chief is a member of the Communist Party. One is either a member or he does not survive very long. During World War ll China and the United States fought as allies against the invading Japanese. The Chinese people suffered horribly under Japanese domination, a great deal of it because of their help for American military forces. Since the end of that war the United States has been in at least a cold war with the stated aims of Global Communism. Keep in mind that neither the Chinese people or the Chinese Government have ever tried an invasion of the United States, but Washington has had its military inside China and killing Chinese people beginning in 1856. I recommend three movies that deal with this subject and all involve characters acting on behalf of Washington, through its military, and all end up wandering why am I here and what am I doing. The three movies are The Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen, 55 Days at Peking, with Charlton Heston, and The Bridges at Toko-Ri with William Holden. The growing conflict with the Chinese Government has a long history and can be couched in terms of being involved everywhere in the world under the belief that you have a right to be so involved. From the Communist side, the revolutionaries under Mao spent the years 1966 to 1976 trying to destroy capitalism and...
