In this second installment of the series Andy Boreham’s RED CHINA, I take you on an immersive journey through Jinggangshan, the misty mountain stronghold on the Jiangxi-Hunan border famously known as the Cradle of the Chinese Revolution.

WATCH PART ONE HERE: • Shanghai: The Surprising Birthplace of the...

After the failure of urban uprisings in 1927 (see part one, link above), a small band of exhausted revolutionaries retreated into these rugged peaks and dense bamboo forests. Here they established China’s first rural revolutionary base, eventually controlling surrounding counties and supporting half a million people at its peak.

The episode follows Mao’s exact path, visiting key sites including the Octagonal Building—where he wrote lasting party strategies under oil-lamp light—and the former Fourth Red Army headquarters in Ciping.

I experience life as a Red Army soldier: carrying heavy loads up steep trails, attending political classes, and tasting classic dishes like pumpkin soup. Dramatic history comes alive at Huangyangjie, where just 500 defenders held off 5,000 enemy troops using terrain, bamboo spikes, and sheer will.

This episode also explores the land revolution that redistributed farmland to peasants, turning ordinary villagers into the backbone of the movement.

Today, red tourism drives over half of Jinggangshan’s economy, drawing millions who walk the same trails, stay in revolutionary homestays, and keep the Jinggangshan spirit alive.

Even a child from time to time needs its ass whooped. I can not get the images of the dead babies out of my head. You think it was the suits doing the killing? I am a communist not a libturd. Cultish fetish Enablers are the worst.

What a capitalist hell this modern western world is. No change will come from political parties or the voting booth.

The real reason for everything - surveillance, crackdown, border control, geopolitical instability. Support my independent work: www.patreon.com/thehatedone

The men above you convinced you that it is necessary to put up a mass surveillance state for your protection – surveillance not even you can escape from. Why do you think that is?

Step inside your car and every mile you take will be tracked with precision and tied to your identity. Step outside and escape to the woods? Tens of thousands of disguised motion-triggered cameras will follow your every step. Wanna hit the gym to get into shape? Government spies will buy your data and location from your fitness tracker. What do you think they need all that data for?

Go ahead, turn off location services on your phone. See what it does. Unless you are in airplane mode, your phone's location will be tracked by whoever made your phone and also whoever is providing telecommunications services in your area. This data is not considered yours nor private and so is retained indefinitely and shared with impunity.

Cameras are no longer just passively recording the streets. They are actively monitored by AI to identify and track in real time just about anyone it chooses for a target. No particular target in sight? Never mind. Behavioral AI analysis will find and identify an angry commuter who just missed their train and will alert nearby enforcement units because of 'suspicious behavior'.

An enforcement officer has access to so much surveillance power they can just point a camera at your face and immediately get your name, where you live or where you work. A camera that's on an enforcer's phone or increasingly more so – their AI glasses. You laughed when this was coming in China. Now you are meant to cheer for it.

And that was the whole point. To gradually get you to a point of inescapable mass surveillance that can target anyone and everyone and you wouldn't even put up a protest. Not only will you not protest this. You are told to gleefully cheer for the men in power who did this to you. Men in power you are told to worship are the same men who'll send you or your son to another war while they make fortunes from the chaos your family will get to bear.

Why do you think the mass surveillance system of absolute power never went away? First, they told you it was to fight against terrorism. They didn't define what terrorism was. They never acknowledged they were participating it. The mass surveillance didn't expire. No, it was expanded still. They just moved from terror to drug enforcement. Then to enforce immigration policies. Then to protect the children. Now anything that is scandalous or can fall under the vague umbrella of 'national security' is used to justify what was supposed to be a temporary limit on your freedoms.

Now they are getting you used to military-looking men roaming the streets with the power to legally destroy you and surveillance states to make sure they can. The powerful men above you convinced you to believe they are doing this to protect you from other men they told you to hate. But they forgot to mention that the same power to enforce something you may like can be used to enforce something you don't like. So that you don't get the wrong idea, that maybe no one man should have all that power.

Because they fed you this illusion that maybe you could be the führer's favorite. So that you wouldn't end up at other side of his barrel. But to him, you are just a resource. A resource to be converted for something of greater value to him than your life.

And this is why they are doing this to you. The Chinese government has been doing it. The Russian government has been doing it. Therefore, your government must also be doing it if they want to stand a chance on the world scene. It's a system of geopolitical adaptation. The bridge between your personal life and geopolitics has been crossed. To all of them, their citizens are resources to play the game of politics with. Those that know their numbers better have a higher chance of succeeding.

Morocco has broken its silence on the deadly Ceuta and Melilla border crossings, rejecting claims the migrant surge was spontaneous. The statement comes amid competing narratives over the crisis. While some regional leaders have linked the events to broader geopolitical tensions involving Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, Morocco's Interior Ministry blamed trafficking networks, misleading information, legal misunderstandings and Spanish court decisions.

 

The first two deaths of the cyclosporiasis outbreak have been reported in Michigan, the state's health department announced Monday.

Both people had "significant underlying health conditions that may have been impacted by cyclosporiasis and dehydration," the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) added. No additional information will be provided, according to the department.
