First Post March 18, 2013:

Well boy, is my face red! Seems I owe China an apology. I made a pretty big factual error on an episode of China Uncensored last week.

I thought villagers in Shangpu, Guangdong province, right near Wukan, were attacked by paramilitary police because they were calling for reform and democratic election.

Turns out, every village in China already has democratic elections! And everything's just fine, says Jiang Li, Vice Minister of Civil Affairs.

Leave it to a Communist Official to harmonize our thinking.

This way the slaves and cannon fodder are much easier to control, because they think they have a say in how they are governed.

China would do much better if it modeled its pretend democracy after the USA, because most of our slaves and cannon fodder haven't a clue as to how rigged our two party pretend democracy really is.

In fact, our government has been so thoroughly rigged and corrupted for so long, that most people can't imagine it being any other way. So when we have our pretend elections, all we can come up with is a different version of the same old shit.
