This morning.
Shanghai, China.
Shanghai is preparing to ease its lockdown over the city’s 25 million people.
Via The Guardian:
Major companies including Tesla and Volkswagen are among 666 firms told they could restart production this week, under closed-loop management. A memo reportedly circulated at Tesla told employees they would have to sleep at the factory, with the company providing each with a sleeping bag and mattress, daily meals and a stipend.
Drone footage taken by Chinese media appeared to show Tesla employees arriving at the factory on Tuesday with luggage, and several people moving the frame of a Tesla car around the site. Volkswagen, which restarted production at its Changchun factories after restrictions there eased, said it was still studying the feasibility of resuming production in Shanghai, Reuters reported.

666 companies you say? How did they arrive at that specific number I wonder?
The sign of the devil
I wonder is the one out of control in China more dangerous than the omicron we have that is like a flu
Or is it deadlier so deadly they had to lock down Shanghai 26 million people and I believe tested twice a day
We will never know unless it arrives here
No sign of WHO over there checking it out
There is actual footage doing the rounds of hazmat clad officials digging up vegetables people had sown- also images of dead pets lying on the streets of course- bizarre stuff.
Yes, the Chinese attitude to dogs was exposed a few weeks back when video emerged of the pet dog of a man, who’d been sent into quarantine on the basis of one of those fake tests, being beaten to death with sticks by hazmat-suited government officials.
I couldn’t watch much of it, my Western attitudes to human & animal life were too offended by the more brutal, almost psychopathic nature of the Chinese approach to such matters & my mind was cast back to a video from some years ago of a toddler of about four, wandering around precariously close to the edge of a busy motorway, while passers-by ignored the danger the little girl was in.
A saw one a year ago
They really are sick the Chinese
If one of them came near my dog I would face the death penalty for what I would do to him or her
For those of us in the West, there’s a timely warning contained in what’s going on in China, as our own governments, in their Quixotic desire to impose their fanatical climate change beliefs on their citizens, are looking to China for their future direction of governance.
The Chinese Social Credit system, with all its Orwellian horror, is coming here, as soon as our beloved leaders can get it all installed.
It’s imposition was, of course, expedited by the Fake Pandemic & will be further facilitated by the food & fuel shortages they’ve imposed, using the fiction that sanctions against Russia are justified & will be effective but I expect a third & final fake disaster to be fabricated to enable the hammering of the final nail into the coffin of Liberal Democracy.
Of course, I may be wrong, the cumulative effects of the suicidal policies our rulers have been enforcing over the last few years may have already doomed us, as the Euro & Dollar edge closer to their engineered collapse but a tactical nuclear engagement with Russia in Europe might just fit the bill.
Very true. What form that manufactured collapse will take remains to be seen. They’ve really so many options and all work very well to meet their goals.
A cyber pandemic perhaps?

Global energy prices rising. Inflation rising. Interest rates rising. Global food prices rising with the shortages that inevitably follow. It’s almost like there was a roadmap for this period in human history.
Yuval Harari positively delighted with our path to the new World. But, what will be done with all of those useless people, he asks?

They are desperate to make the war in Ukraine into a world war
I am sure the price gouging is to get us to hate Russia so much we all March off to war
Ask yourself why government has not launched a task force to tackle profiteering
And it’s only started
My Italian supplier has told me the Italians are curtailing exporting pizza flour and tomato’s are going through the roof
Thankfully I do not sell pizzas or eat them

I believe in Shanghai neighbours are especially picked and given white suits with Police on them and put in charge of keeping the neighbours and the hood in check, that’s how it works.
Overnight your next door neighbour is your master – shudder!
When you look at the attitude of some of the commentators on here- you can see quite easily how they would revel in such?
What all of this has shown is that some people just LOVE the idea of being in charge.
Dear God. Can you fxxk wit tin hats, I know , 1 person, read back over your comments. Get off the Internet and read something sensible eg read a book that doesn’t involve conspiracy theories. Oh and if you’re not Irish or a male, stop commenting on an Irish website, or stop being racist an sexist.
Here is an idea- if what we write bothers you so much then why don’t YOU Get off the Internet and read something sensible- because YOU appear to be here all the bloody time?
You don’t own this site, you have no say in what is either posted on it or commented in it. In other words- BUGGER OFF AND MIND YOU OWN FRIGGEN BUSINESS !
Poor little anti boxy..
Interesting hypothesis for what’s going on behind the scenes in China from Emanuel Pastreich who “served as the president of the Asia Institute, a think tank with offices in Washington DC, Seoul, Tokyo and Hanoi.”

He speculates that, contrary to the notion of the all-powerful Chinese Communist Party, the Shanghai lockdown is actually an initiative of the globalist billionaire elite class who, he believes, hold sway over corrupted officials from the Shanghai local government.
He thinks that just as the Ukraine conflict is being used as a pretext to cause financial and supply chain chaos (through sanctions) which further the agenda of those global policymakers trying to implement the so called “Great Reset”, so too, the financial and supply chain crisis caused by the Shanghai lockdown serves as another catalyst to bring about the same end goal..
A hypothesis, speculation, evidence free assertions, grand conspiracies, convoluted and obscure motivations, exageratted competence and all-powerful actors. The Great Reset is basically The Storm for people who think they’re too intelligent for Qanon. The Communist Party isn;t all-powerful, the globalost billionaire elite class is, so much so they need a second go-round of pandemic lockdown. The fact that global supply chains are vulnerable to pandemics and wars isnt enough, wars and pandemics that disrupts gloabl supply chains have to be calculated and designed. Every globaly supply chain disruption is going to be Part Of A Plan. This is what you prefer to do rather than confront real problems.
You have to laugh. Mr Strawman strikes again. I could have commented “the sun rises in the morning” and Nigel would probably still be there on cue looking for a way to try turn it into a chance to get one up. I shouldn’t have to point out that I didn’t even say I subscribe to Emanuel Pastreich’s hypothesis, just that I found it interesting.
All I can say is that you come across as someone who really lacks self-awareness. It’s been pointed out to you repeatedly that you keep indulging in a fallacious form of engagement by trying to misrepresent what a person has just said, and yet you still continue to do it.
