Chinese State Media: "Our Collapse Will Be Worse Than The Fall Of The USSR"
Credit: Casey Research Russell Leigh Moses notes at China Real Time that a recent Xinhua News Agency headline, “The consequences of China’s collapse will be even worse than the Soviet Union’s,” has sparked a strong debate on Chinese social media sites. According to Moses, Xinhua warns that China could face misery and poverty because of “the destabilizing activity of its growing population of microbloggers.” In January Gao Yu at Seeing Red in China published a leaked speech Xi Jinping apparently gave to Party members in which he attributed the Soviet Union’s collapse to the lack of ideological conviction on the part of its Communist leaders. Chinese leaders have long debated the causes of the Soviet Union’s collapse. How bizarre is it to see the state media more or less admit they are on the verge of collapse?
Dead People Donated Nearly $600k In To Campaigns Since 2009 (Video)
By Susan Duclos In recent years we have seen ample examples of the dead walking, so to speak, right into voting booths and voting in elections, but now we come to find out that they don't just vote in congressional and presidential elections, they also donate money. According to an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings, thirty-two people listed as "deceased" have contributed more than $586,000 to congressional and presidential candidates and political parties since Jan. 1, 2009. Evidently people active in elections are allowed to bequeath money to politicians and parties but there are restrictions and contribution limits those donations must comply with.
