Another Staged Event from CNN: Batman Goes to China (archive)

(archived from December 16, 2011)

It’s one thing when the corporate media refuse to cover a story because it makes the globalist’s actions look bad or it highlights something that they would rather not have exposed. That’s bad enough. But when the media actually makes stories up out of whole cloth and they are never held accountable for it, then you have serious problems with far reaching implications. Unfortunately we have been seeing this trend developing more and more as of late.

CNN has a story out about how Batman actor Christian Bale and a CNN “news” crew went to visit a Chinese activist and was assaulted by “plain clothed” Chinese military police and then they were involved in a “high speed chase” which the news crew won, somehow, and they escaped. A CNN cameraman outran Chinese authority’s radio in a minivan? Really?

That’s the “news” according to CNN.

Here’s what really happened.

 

Christian Bale has been in China making a film about the Rape of Nanking (Nanjing). If you don’t know the history the short and sweet version is that Japanese forces captured the city of Nanjing in 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War and for 6 weeks straight they proceeded to systematically murder hundreds of thousands of unarmed Chinese civilians and rape tens of thousands of women and children. It was a program of genocide ordered from the highest ranks of the Japanese army. Fatality figures range from 430,000 as reported by a Chinese military researcher to 150,000 as claimed in the official Japanese government version of events.

“… during the Nanking Massacre, the Japanese “sliced babies not just in half but in thirds and fourths“” Witness to the Nanjing massacre.

This is one of the forgotten holocausts of the 20th century because it certainly doesn’t do to have yet another of our globalist partners (Japan) pictured as a monstrous force for evil. That would throw George Bush’s axis all off kilter.

Japanese revisionists did all they could to lie Nanjing out of the history books but then in 1997 along came a book called “The Rape of Nanking” by an American writer, Iris Chang, which told the story of a small group of Westerners and Germans who were in Nanjing as the Japanese army was approaching and who chose to stay to try their best to help. Chang’s parents told her the story when she was growing up and so she dedicated 2 years of her life to researching what happened when she wrote the book.

“Chang listed and described the kinds of torture that were visited upon the residents, including live burials, mutilation, “death by fire”, “death by ice”, and “death by dogs”. Based on the testimony of a survivor of the massacre, Chang also described a killing contest amongst a group of Japanese soldiers to determine who could kill the fastest” Wikipedia

John Rabe was probably the most well known of these foreigners who were there and later told the story of what happened. He was the German who was appointed to be in charge of the Nanjing safe zone. His 800 page journal he made during that time was published in 1998 called “The Good Man of Nanking” and remains the most accurate and detailed accounting of what took place there at the hands of the Japanese army.

“Last night up to 1,000 women and girls are said to have been raped, about 100 girls at Ginling Girls’ College alone. You hear nothing but rape. If husbands or brothers intervene, they’re shot. What you hear and see on all sides is the brutality and bestiality of the Japanese soldiers” John Rabe

Iris Chang was subjected to many slanderous attacks after she published her book. Globalization was rampant during that time and in the early part of this century and Japan figured in prominently to the global elites’ plans whereas China has been targeted for regime change for quite sometime.

Iris Chang was found dead in 2004, ruled a suicide, one version of her “suicide note” said in part:

“There are aspects of my experience in Louisville that I will never understand. Deep down I suspect that you may have more answers about this than I do. I can never shake my belief that I was being recruited, and later persecuted, by forces more powerful than I could have imagined. Whether it was the CIA or some other organization I will never know. As long as I am alive, these forces will never stop hounding me.

Days before I left for Louisville I had a deep foreboding about my safety. I sensed suddenly threats to my own life: an eerie feeling that I was being followed in the streets, the white van parked outside my house, damaged mail arriving at my P.O. Box. I believe my detention at Norton Hospital was the government‘s attempt to discredit me” suicide note attributed to Iris Chang

We will never know what happened to Iris Chang. For those of you paying attention though, the story is eerily similar to that of Bruce Ivins who was also suddenly diagnosed with depression, right before he was to be officially accused of the anthrax attacks, and then in a very short period of time, supposedly took his own life with two bottles of Tylenol PM. You would think a guy who could sneak anthrax out of a high security facility would have come up with a better way to whack himself, but thus is the “official story”

Officials were never happy that a Hollywood celebrity with the drawing power of Christian Bale was going to make a movie in China presenting China in a sympathetic light. Not now. Not when regime change is on the menu. Not when it draws negative attention to one of our leading globalist partners in crime.

So CNN gets together with Christian.. according to CNN it was Christian’s idea… to go see a Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng who is supposedly being held under house arrest after his release from jail for damaging property of some kind. Chen has been one of the National Endowment for Democracy type destabilization dissidents for some time. He is blind man who was employed giving back rubs to tourists when all of a sudden he became a ‘self-taught” lawyer and started his career as a dissident.

Chen is probably not under house arrest. That story just makes China look worse than saying he was tried, convicted of a crime, sentenced to 4 years and then released after doing his time. That just makes Chen look like a criminal and China look pretty much like every other country with a set of laws.

Hillary Clinton has been a “champion” of Chen’s cause for some time now if that tells you anything.

The CNN story goes like this: when they got to Chen’s house, “plain clothed” Chinese officials met and assulted the CNN crew and Christian Bale. They pushed them and “punched” Bale and then when they were leaving, the Chinese officials staking out Chen’s house then gave hot pursuit and  “high speed chase” ensued.

It’s very dramatic, the only problem is none of it is true and the only evidence you need comes straight from the CNN footage of the event.

Remember when that woman rushed into the hotel where the press was staying before NATO started bombing the shit out of the civilian population of Libya claiming she had just escaped from several days of being gang raped and tortured at the hands of Gadhafi’s troops? Of course, upon effecting her miraculous escape the first thing on this multiple brutal rape victim’s mind is not going to the hospital or going home but instead her first thought is to go the the international press, and she just happens to know where they are, and tell her story “for the greater good of Libya” I suppose. Well anyway, at a certain point in her presentation, some “plain clothed” Libyan officials whisked in and dragged her off. At least, that is what we were told they were.

In actuality, they were part of the show. More than likely they were locals working with the National Endowment for Democracy type NGOs who played the role of the oppressive “officials”, there to sweep the “rape victim” out of the hotel before any confusing questions could be asked by members of the press who were not in on the gag.

Same thing happens in China with Christian Bale.

Though CNN claims these are “plain clothed Chines security officials” there’s no way to verify who these 4 men are and in fact, they aren’t really “plain clothed” at all as that 3 of the 4 are wearing what looks like some kind of military surplus Army overcoats. two of them have military looking insignias on the shoulders and strips on the arms.

But you will notice something interesting about these costumes… they are WAY TOO BIG for the men wearing them. They are so big in fact that the only two of them who have their arms in the sleeves, can’t use their hands because the sleeves extend well beyond their finger tips. The third guy seems to have choosen not to put his arms in the sleeves for just this reason as it looks as if his coat is way to big for his fat ass as well.

Look at these screen shots taken from the CNN video.

 

"plain clothed"? where are their hands?

 

military stripes and no hands

still no hands all three of them

It looks like someone went to the surplus store and bought these just for this occasion. All of the coats are in the same condition and seem like they are exactly the same age. And none of them fit their the men who are wearing them. Which branch of the Chinese authorities goes out and buys articles of clothes for their members that are way too big for them? Seems kinda odd doesn’t it?

I guess the same branch of Chinese government that does that would also give them a busted ass beat-up minivan to conduct high speed chases in.

 

official busted ass P.O.S. ride for Chinese officials.

Go watch the video and you won’t see a “high speed chase” but instead you see the two vans driving along and a big truck coming up behind them moving much faster than they are. The fact is, it looks like the two groups are simply leaving the area of the staged scene and trying not to attract any official attention from the real authorities.

CNN talks briefly about Christian’s film claiming that it is about the “Japanese invasion of Nanking”. It wasn’t an invasion, it was genocide.

Nobody who knows anything about the history of this atrocity would call in an “invasion” unless they deliberately wanted to play down Japan’s brutal and inhumane war crimes in Nanjing.

The man Christian was there to meet, the Hillary Clinton favorite dissident (remember, we killed U.S. born dissident in Yemen after calling him a terrorist because he was leading the revolution there), can be seen here in a nicely staged photo-op moment where he stoops to extend a hand to a local unfortunate. How nice of him to risk getting dirt on his business class attire.

 

it's like Jesus and the lepers isn't it?

Good thing he had that mic on so the camera crew could hear the pathetic pleadings from the unwashed masses.

The really sad thing is, this kind of propaganda works. It plays into everything U.S. citizens want to hear: China bad, America Good: young verses old, thin vs fat; blind overcoming great obstacles; Chinese man dressed like American business class; actor playing hero role behaving heroically in real life… (Bale actually makes some pathetic comment about such nonsense in the CNN video)

It’s like the whole thing was written for a 5th grade audience, which is probably accurate (Am I Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?)

This is what happens when celebrities get involved in politics… they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing and they end up being used because of it.

I don’t know if Christian was in on the set-up. Seems to me that he wasn’t but you never know. Unlike that woman from Libya and the usual “talent” they use in these propaganda street theater scenes, Bale is an accomplished actor and a talented one at that.

I would hope at some point after Bale returns home and has a few weeks to reflect on all of this, he will come out and tell people what he thinks about the situation. But more than likely they are going to press his publicist to keep him busy day and night running around repeating the bullshit CNN version of the story for as long as they can till he’s sick of even thinking about it.

But in the end, there was no “high speed chase” (like a cameraman could actually outrun professional police trained in offensive driving or their trusty RADIOS that they could contact OTHER POLICE WITH to get them to confiscate the VIDEO), the “security officials” were dressed like clowns, and for some unknown reason, the “security officials” apparently didn’t bother to tell the Chinese authorities about the incident or the CNN video crew because they were all allowed to leave the country … with the video.

Anybody who buys this tripe crap is a moron.

I certainly hope Christian Bale doesn’t fall into that category, but then again, he’s an actor. And like I said before, I went to school to become an actor and studied the craft for years. I got out of acting because the industry is cram packed full of actors, and most of them are self-absorbed, ignorant, assholes. Perfect marks for propaganda like this.

After all of this, I want to leave you with one last image.

This is a memorial to Iris Chang put up by the survivors of the Nanking Massacre. They put this here in the memorial to the victims of the Rape of Nanking after she died in order to honor her for bringing to light the most forgotten holocaust of the WWII era. Here is a lasting tribute to a real dissident and activist one that will never be celebrated by the likes of Hillary Clinton and CNN.
