The diagram in the image is an adapted version of the SORO (Special Operations Research Office) Resistance Pyramid, a model originally developed in the 1960s to illustrate the progression of insurgency or resistance activities from clandestine beginnings to overt actions. The title emphasizes the perspective that "Negotiated Settlements" represent victories for insurgencies, framing the pyramid's objective as achieving such a settlement through escalating dialectical events (discussions or conflicts).

The People's Republic of China is creating a network that undermines Democratic countries.  The Chinese Communist parties United Front is a weapon that it built that contains a network of its friends with an aim to weaken its enemies from within.  In my new report, I've mapped out how the CCP has built a network of more than 2,000 organizations in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Germany.  These aren't just cultural groups.  Some help with political influence, technology transfer, transnational repression, and even voter mobilization on Beijing's behalf.  The strategy is simple.  Co-op Civil Society, shape local politics, and normalize the CCP's interest inside democracies.  This report shows who these groups are, how they operate, and why transparency matters if we want to protect open societies.  The full report drops next week.  I hope you'll take a look.  Follow Jamestown for more Cutting Edge analysis.

The ChiComs have set out to poison us. It's past time to kick out the legs from under the CCP. https://t.co/OVmgGAjWS6

The Airbnb attached to the CCP disease lab isn’t incidental, it’s the point.

It was more convenient to call it "infectious" rather than "toxic," then no one could be blamed.

It is not the first time that a “Viral” disease has been legally debunked.

Smon was officially proved not to be a “virus” in 1978 but caused by a chemical drug Clioquinol. Suprise surprise. pic.twitter.com/gB1kslJ1PQ

In Japan, it took 30 years and teams of lawyers to dismiss in court the idea that a virus was the cause of SMON, a blindness and paralysis that by 1971 had affected 11,000 people and cause thousands of deaths.  It was more convenient to call it infectious rather than toxic, then no one could be blamed.  It was only when professor Tadao Tsubaki, in true detective style, tracked the symptoms down and found that this disastrous nerve damage was a toxic reaction caused by a common antidiarrheal drug that the infectious theory was dropped and the toxic reaction accepted.
