DESMOND SHUM: METHODOLOGY [of influence]: GENTLENESS AS A WEAPON
Preferred targets sit in the middle—large enough to matter, small enough to stay below the radar. The Party does not want heroes. It wants conduits.Sociology Over Ideology
This is not a political influencer program. It is a social penetration strategy, distributing influence quietly through everyday trust networks. --Desmond Shum
Inside the Machine: A Rare Recording Reveals How the CCP Recruits Influencers https://youtu.be/rV7JFmz6Ca0?si=F8UiPwok2rE8VKI- A Chinese YouTuber with roughly 350,000 subscribers in the military-affairs space recently released a recording of a conversation with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) recruiter. The audio offers a rare, unfiltered look into how China’s overseas influence campaigns actually operate. This is not the old model of “external propaganda”—no slogans, no red banners, no embassy tweets. What emerges instead is a market-driven influence operation built on a simple premise: credibility is scarce, and the Party is willing to pay for it. 1. WHO THE CCP RECRUITS AND WHY The recruiter describes a system that resembles risk-managed talent acquisition more than political vetting. The goal is influence that is useful, controllable, and durable. The Goldilocks Rule: Influence Without Exposure The CCP’s first rule is blunt: avoid obvious targets. High-profile dissident influencers—such as Wang Zhian (YouTube), Li Laoshi “Not Your Teacher” (X), Wen Zhao (YouTube), and Toronto Fanglian (YouTube)—are ruled out. Not because they criticize the CCP, but because they are already “tagged”: •too visible •too aggressively critical •too politically exposed •too difficult to manage Preferred targets sit in the middle—large enough to matter, small enough to stay below the radar. The Party does not want heroes. It wants conduits. Sociology Over Ideology The talent pool described is sociological rather than political: •Italy-based music influencers •Japan-based food YouTubers •Philadelphia-based blue-collar and car-mechanic creators This is not a political influencer program. It is a social penetration strategy, distributing influence quietly through everyday trust networks. The Party does not need admiration. It seeks to gently steer opinion. 2. METHODOLOGY: GENTLENESS AS A WEAPON Invisible, Long-Term Discipline The guiding principle is low-visibility persistence—“æ¶¦ç‰©ç»†æ— å£°” gentle rain moist everything, not sudden impact: •no abrupt tonal shifts •no one-off campaigns •no visible coordination The objective is endurance. Limited Criticism, Strategic Assistance •minor criticism of the Party is allowed •policy complaints are acceptable •one red line is absolute: no direct attacks on Xi Jinping Controlled dissent builds credibility. Excess dissent disqualifies. In the platform era, influence must be indistinguishable from independent commentary. 3. MONEY—AND THE UNSPOKEN INCENTIVE The financial structure is explicit: €40,000 per month, with a 30 percent cut for the recruiter. Money is only half the leverage. The recruiter also hints at reduced harassment of family members inside China—being “on the list rather than outside it.” He insists this is not a threat. It simply describes the environment. In such a system, cooperation functions like an insurance premium—paid quietly. 4. THE MODERN CCP INFLUENCE MODEL One line captures the logic: “The Party-state looks at the numbers.” Not belief. Not loyalty. Metrics. Views. Reach. Narratives that travel without fingerprints. Traditional propaganda is abandoned because it is too obvious. The modern preference is for ambiguity, credible messengers, cultural entry points, and erosion rather than persuasion. The goal is not conversion. It is drift. CONCLUSIONCCP social media strategy abroad: sociology without ideology, gentleness is a weapon, and more. Plus money. https://t.co/jtNlRU2rEE

What makes this transcript unsettling is not its brazenness, but its restraint. The CCP is not trying to win arguments outright. It is content to let doubt accumulate and confidence erode, allowing “neutrality” to do the work slogans once failed to accomplish. Influence here is not about persuasion—it is about drift. And drift, over time, is far harder to see, let alone stop.
VIKTOR ORBAN: We have to trust that the people will enforce peace from the bottom up. This is the only thing we can trust.
It's nothing new. @ArmstrongEcon and I have been saying this for years. Good for @PM_ViktorOrban to finally say it out loud as he pulls Hungary and the rest of Eastern Europe away from the brink. https://t.co/QEqT5Rg0FQ

00:00. Who has wanted war so far? Some European politicians have wanted war, thinking that a country with nuclear weapons can be defeated through a conventional war. Good luck with that. Also, those who manufacture weapons always want war or some kind of armed conflict. These are the arms manufacturers. And now a 3rd group has appeared: Now the bankers also want you to continue, because, otherwise, how will they get their money back? They can only recover their money if Russia is defeated militarily. That is how it all comes together. So I want to tell everyone not to trust that European politicians are sensible enough not to drag us into a war. They are not sensible enough for that. The only ones you can trust are the European people. You can trust the people in Szeged, in Hungary, in Slovakia, in Croatia, in Italy. We have to trust the people who will hold similar gatherings. Let's not be mistaken: so far, this is only happening in Hungary. In 6 months, there will also be large anti-war gatherings in Germany and in France. We have to trust that the people will enforce peace from the bottom up. This is the only thing we can trust.

John Fetterman, the guy who . . . look, I was not a fan. I thought he was compromised. He had the stroke. He couldn't speak right. He turns out to be the one guy you can count on from the Democrats to at least be honest. Now, he's a Democrat but he'll tell you the truth. He went into that classified intelligence briefing and came out, unlike other Democrats, and told the truth about what he had seen, why is legal . . . Oh, and by the way, right here, this in front of me, this is the Maritime Drug Laws Enforcement Act of 1986, authored by a member of Congress in 1986 from the state of New York. His name: Chuck Schumer. He wrote the law that passed almost unanimously that makes it legal to blow drug boats out of the water. It happened in the 80s a lot, 90s a lot. Go ahead, look it up, folks, Chuck Schumer, the author of this bill that made what we're doing with Venezuela drug boats fully legal. We don't need permission from the rest of the world. Chuck Schumer gave us that in 1986.

00:00. Whenever you're dealing with an apologist for Islam or even a Muslim, when you bring up Jihad, almost immediately they kick back to you,
Well, what about those terrible Crusades? Why they're the moral justification for Jihad. I mean we're just as bad as they are, so let's not talk about Jihad, okay? Let's talk about the Crusades.
Well, what we'd like to talk about here are facts and it turns out I sat down and put together some work and I created a database of some 548 battles that Islam fought Jihad, battles against classical civilization. This isn't even all the battles Africa civilization of Rome and Greece
DID J.D. VANCE JUST LAUNCH A SOUTH AFRICAN STYLE RACIAL WAR?
This is the South Africa moment. The Twitter sphere is lit up with all this anti-white hatred and bigotry. The hot racial wars are beginning. Just as white people thought that ICE was doing them a favor, it turns out it was just seeding resentment and violence towards the lights even though many of the agents were Mexicans with masks.
Vice President VANCE is right. DEI and anti-White guilt are now in the dustbin of history.

ASHLEY RINDSBERG: also true with Al Jazeera, which is a Qatari-controlled outlet considered to be generally reliable. That gives it a higher ranking in the reliability rating than many American conservative news outlets which have proper editorial structure and accountability.
Coordinated groups now edit Wikipedia to spread propaganda.

3:29. Wikipedia has definitely been taken over by woke activists.
Why would they lean left?
Academic by Nature when you take something academic minded, and Wikipedia editors are very academic minded, they're naturally going to draw from that pool of academia, which is left-leaning.
3:45. People on the right are more likely to earn their living building things, or farming, fishing, serving in police and military organizations. People on the left are more likely to be academics, reporters, lawyers, people who write for a living. That gives them an advantage competing on Wikipedia.
4:05. The real barrier is to understand all the parliamentarian maneuvering, all the rules, lawyering, all this kind of stuff that really takes years to understand it, to win a single debate about a single sentence.
4:20. In addition, Wikipedia has simply declared most conservative media generally unreliable. That means editor should not cite Fox News, The Federalist, The Daily Wire, the New York Post. By contrast, Wikipedia not only calls CNN reliable, it deems MSNBC, Vox, Slate, The Nation, and Mother Jones, reliable. If you're a leftist that's what you think.
4:47. They consider FOX in their bones to be unreliable, never to be used on a variety of important topics.
4:54. And FOX is unreliable sometimes, but so is MSNBC and CNN.
5:00. And the New York Times, and any other rated reliable website or news outlet that it's listed.
5:06. However, . . .
MSNBC, The Nation, or Mother Jones, however far left you go, it's still going to be considered generally reliable. This is also true with Al Jazeera, which is a Qatari-controlled outlet considered to be generally reliable. That gives it a higher ranking in the reliability rating than many American conservative news outlets which have proper editorial structure and accountability.
5:32. Wikipedia's bias is also revealed in their choice of subjects. After the murder of this Ukrainian refugee.
A grizzly stabbing in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Wikipedia editors wanted this article about her deleted.
An editor has nominated this article for deletion. . . . arguing that the topic, may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline.
5:51. Erase this story, because this story was a story about race, about who gets to be acknowledged as a victim. This was a white woman killed, murdered by a black man, and Wikipedia very quickly tried to delete that article saying it wasn't notable.
6:06. This is just one murder.
6:08. But when you look at other instances of single crimes or crimes that end up in the news cycle, they do stay on Wikipedia and there's not an effort to delete them.
6:18. Also although the killer had been arrested 14 times.
6:22. Wikipedia wouldn't allow him to be named on the website. They said we have to protect his identity, because he's a suspect. He's not been convicted. Fair enough. The problem is when you look at another case on the right,
A 17-year-old from a neighboring state is now under arrest tonight accused of firing on demonstrators.
Kyle Rittenhouse who was a minor. They named him dozens of times.
6:45. And Rittenhouse has never been convicted.
6:48. But Wikipedia had no problem putting his name out there for the world.
6:51. And people point out the unfairness and inconsistency but nothing changes.
6:56. There is a point where public pressure and the culture actually does sway Wikipedia. Iryna Zarutska is a good example because there was an outcry about this and eventually Wikipedia did allow that article to stay, but on a whole, you're absolutely right. Nothing changes.
7:13. Another example of Wikipedia bias from the Israel-Palestine conflict. You say pro-Hamas editors push propaganda.
7:22. 40 or so editors who I call the "Gang of 40," they've made 1 million edits to 10,000 articles. [Ashley Rindsberg, Chief Investigative Officer, Neutral pov.com.] They're removing mentions of terror attacks by Hezbollah and Hamas. This is a systematic coordinated effort.
7:36. Right before the presidential election, Wikipedia created a page called "Donald Trump and fascism."
7:42. It's not if that is not an election interference, I'm not sure what is.
7:46. The Guardian, the left-wing newspaper, in the same day published the same thing, "Is Donald Trump a fascist?" September 21, 2024.
7:50. And they cited heavily a Harvard scholar who has ties to an Obama appointee but you as a user of Wikipedia will never see all this chain of sourcing. You just see the final product. They called him first a fascist,
Trump and his allies . . . have been compared to previous fascist leaders . . .
and then they sort of evolved the messaging to call him an authoritarian.
8:17. But isn't that fair?
8:19. The problem is that on Wikipedia you only get one side of it the worldview presented doesn't allow for other perspectives to be included and what you're reading about some of the most important topics of today.
8:29. If you look up Fidel Castro's successor, who repressed Cuba for years, you don't get authoritarian.
8:35. Not one mention of the term authoritarian on Raul Castro there's not one mention of the word authoritarian on the entry for Ayatollah Khomeini. At least on the leader of China's page Wikipedia some foreign diplomats consider him to be an authoritative
J. MICHAEL WALLER: The founder of the Pentagon's Muslim chaplain program was Abdurahman Alamoudi, later convicted as a terrorism financier. Alamoudi also founded the American Muslim Armed Forces & Veterans Affairs Council (AMAFVAC) to endorse Islamic chaplains for the US military & Dept of Veterans Affairs.
Great to see @SecWar starting to fix the military chaplains.

Now, the Pentagon must de-recognize Muslim Brotherhood fronts and affiliates like Islamic Society of North America & AMAFVAC that screen and approve Muslim chaplains, and boot the chaplains they endorsed. https://t.co/bYzdPd7DnB
DAN BURMAWI: A Christian who commits murder is violating his faith. A Muslim who kills an apostate is fulfilling his. Their faith tells them that their victims are not innocent, not human, not worthy of mercy. And so, they kill without hesitation.
Christianity commands its followers to love their enemies, forgive those who harm them, and refuse vengeance. Judaism, despite its history of persecution, never formed a doctrine commanding global conquest or the extermination of non-Jews. Islam, however, does the opposite. When an ISIS fighter beheads a captive, he is not acting outside the teachings of his faith. He is following the example of Muhammad, who personally oversaw the beheading of hundreds of Jewish men in Medina.Unlike Christianity, which calls for self-sacrifice, Islam calls for sacrificing others. Unlike Judaism, which focuses on preserving its own people, Islam commands the subjugation or destruction of all who reject it. --Dan Burmawi.

Adolf Eichmann, a high-ranking Nazi and one of the architects of the Holocaust, fled to South America after World War II. In 1962, he was captured and brought to Israel for trial. During the proceedings, the prosecution brought in survivors from Nazi death camps to testify against him. One of them, Yehiel Dinur, entered the courtroom and came face to face with Eichmann, who was seated in a glass box. The moment Dinur saw him, he collapsed to the ground, shaking and sobbing uncontrollably. Years later, in an interview with 60 Minutes, journalist Mike Wallace asked Dinur if his reaction had been caused by traumatic memories from the concentration camps. "No," Dinur replied. "It was not the memories that made me collapse. It was the realization that Eichmann was not a demon. He was an ordinary man. Hannah Arendt, a journalist for The New Yorker, attended Eichmann’s trial and later wrote about it. She noted that Eichmann was not a psychopath, not a man burning with sadistic hatred. He was ordinary. That is what made him so terrifying. He was a man who followed orders, who did his job, who justified the horrors he participated in without ever questioning them. All humans have the capacity for evil. We all have within us the ability to justify unspeakable horrors if the conditions are right. The question is not whether we are capable of evil, but what prevents us from committing it? Most religions restrain human evil. They set moral boundaries, condemning acts of violence, injustice, and cruelty. Christianity commands its followers to love their enemies, forgive those who harm them, and refuse vengeance. Judaism, despite its history of persecution, never formed a doctrine commanding global conquest or the extermination of non-Jews. Islam, however, does the opposite. When an ISIS fighter beheads a captive, he is not acting outside the teachings of his faith. He is following the example of Muhammad, who personally oversaw the beheading of hundreds of Jewish men in Medina. When Hamas terrorists slaughter Israeli families, they are not betraying Islam, they are fulfilling the doctrine of jihad, which commands war against non-Muslims until Islam dominates the world. Unlike Christianity, which calls for self-sacrifice, Islam calls for sacrificing others. Unlike Judaism, which focuses on preserving its own people, Islam commands the subjugation or destruction of all who reject it. We all have the potential for evil. But the difference between a person who commits atrocities and one who does not is the belief system that shapes them. A Christian who commits murder is violating his faith. A Muslim who kills an apostate is fulfilling his. A Buddhist who wages war is going against the teachings of his religion. A jihadist who slaughters unbelievers is doing exactly what his religion commands. The Nazis did not commit genocide because they were born different from us. They did it because they were indoctrinated into an ideology that justified mass murder. The same is true for every Hamas terrorist, every suicide bomber, every ISIS militant. Their faith tells them that their victims are not innocent, not human, not worthy of mercy. And so, they kill without hesitation. The reality is, Islam is the only major religion that actively commands the atrocities we fear. It is the only faith where genocide, subjugation, and violence are not historical accidents, but divine commandments. It is a mistake to think Islam is just another religion, rather than the most dangerous ideology the world has ever known.

All of Turkey, all seven churches as mentioned in the book of Revelation, were all in Turkey. And they were all taken over by the Muslim Turks. Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world, and the largest Christian church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia. And it got turned into a mosque. And so they want to do the same thing with the Vatican. And recently they allowed Muslim prayers in the Vatican. So we see that it's headed in that direction.“

How was Vivek made a hedge fund partner shortly out of undergrad? That's usually a 15-20 year tract to get an ownership stake. He was at the now defunct Amaranth for a while, later Goldman Sachs. Then he leaves (after being a partner) to go to law school on a Soros scholarship, which he defends says he needed the money, after clearing huge salaries? Working at QVT (during law school oddly) he made trades that returned 5,000% due to buyouts, causing insider trading speculation. Then he starts the scam pharma company of his own (based in Bermuda to not pay American taxes) and managed to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in 8 months? There isn't one single aspect of this guy's story or life that adds up to anything legitimate. The more I read about him the more bizarre it all gets.
