FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1236 Organ Harvesting Horror in Communist China Uncover the chilling truth of forced organ harvesting in Communist China, where Falun Gong practitioners are hunted, imprisoned, and exploited in a shadowy transplant empire. Tonight, we dive into a dystopian nightmare with Leeshai Lemish, a Shen Yun host who survived arrest and brutality in Tiananmen Square. From survivor testimonies to the Kilgour-Matas Report, we explore evidence of this medical genocide and the Chinese Communist Party's global sabotage of Shen Yun's mission to expose it. GUEST: Leeshai Lemish, Shen Yun Performing Arts' charismatic host, is a relentless advocate for truth. With degrees in Chinese history and international relations, he's exposed the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong since 1999, including forced organ harvesting. Arrested and beaten in Tiananmen Square, he's testified before Congress, documented CCP sabotage, and hosts Shen Yun Voices to amplify survivors' stories. Blending artistry with activism, Leeshai champions cultural revival while confronting a global superpower's atrocities, undeterred by death threats and repression.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – The 2024 WHO amendments are outwardly packaged as “global health cooperation,” but in reality, they institutionalize the CCP's “unrestricted warfare” achievements during COVID-19 into the future global pandemic prevention system. The provisions completely avoid accountability for the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 and Chinese military-civil fusion“gain-of-function” research...

A young woman in China began practicing Falun Dafa six yeas ago.

When she was illegally detained by the CCP for practicing Dafa, she did not consider herself imprisoned, […]

In this powerful compilation of commentary, callers and hosts confront the defining struggles of our time—foreign threats, government corruption, and the silencing of dissent. From rising tariffs and supply chain pressures to the weaponization of biowarfare and fentanyl by China, the case is made for a complete trade and strategic break from the CCP. Meanwhile, tech platforms like YouTube and Facebook face scrutiny for systematically censoring voices under the guise of copyright violations, as globalist institutions push Elon Musk to comply with EU speech controls. Domestically, concerns grow over the erosion of civil liberties, media bias, and political double standards. A rallying cry emerges for Americans to reclaim control—by voting out corruption at the local level, demanding transparency, and refusing to surrender free expression. It's a wake-up call for a nation teetering between survival and submission.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – On July 8, an explosive audio recording from Trump's 2024 campaign fundraiser was leaked, in which Trump revealed that he had once directly told Xi Jinping: “If the CCP uses force against Taiwan, I'll bomb Beijing.” According to Trump, Xi was visibly stunned. Trump added that Xi “only needed to believe it 10%, even 5% was enough.” China's state-run media went completely silent...

“China is surpassing American strength, whether it be naval forces or nuclear forces,” says retired U.S. Army Col. John Mills.His four-decade career has spanned key roles from the Cold War era to the War on Terror. At the Department of Defense, he directed cybersecurity policy.“I was brought into cyber in 2007 when the threat really was Russian cyber adventurism, but by 2012, from that point onward, it was all China—wasn't even close,” he says. “For every dollar Russia spent on misadventure, China spent 20.”In this episode, we dive into the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) influence globally and how it has created what Mills calls a “world on fire.”“All the playing pieces are kind of in place for [CCP leader Xi Jinping] to make his move around the world, to establish China as the dominant nation state, and everything else, all other nations, would be tributary vassal states, including the U.S.,” Mills says.“They are absolutely advancing a relentless onslaught of information warfare, through their media, through their wolf warriors, to advance a Chinese communist message that just drowns out everything else.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Join Justin Bassi, Executive Director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and former National Security Advisor to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster, as they discuss threats to international security, Australia's role in the Indo-Pacific, and opportunities for Canberra and Washington to work together to promote peace and prosperity. Viewing China's military and technological rise as Australia's top security threat, Bassi discusses the ambitions of the Chinese Communist Party leaders and how Australia and its allies can compete more effectively to counter CCP aggression and prevent a war with China. The US and Australia sharing a deep history since World War I, Bassi reflects on how more recent internal debates are playing out within Australia regarding Trump administration policies, how we can promote a positive agenda to advance our mutual interests, and his views on the future of AUKUS – the alliance between Australia, the US and the UK to strengthen defense and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Guo Wengui was a billionaire real estate mogul in China, but when the government cracks down on his empire, he flees to the U.S. From a Manhattan apartment and a luxury superyacht, Guo publicly decries corruption in the CCP, which earns him devoted friends in the MAGA movement. But behind the scenes, Guo's media company, crypto venture, fashion line, and fledgling rap career are all masking the fact that he's ripping off his loyal followers for hundreds of millions. In the end, a disillusioned follower finds the bravery to hold Guo accountable and expose his global grift.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

RUMOURS OF XI JINPING'S UPCOMING REBUKE JUST LIKE HIS FATHER: 1/8 The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of XI Zhongxun, Father of XI Jinping Hardcover – 3 June 2025 by  Joseph Torigian  (Author) https://www.amazon.com.au/Partys-Interests-Come-First-Zhongxun/dp/1503634752/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 1949 XI ZHONGXUN China's leader, Xi Jinping, is one Cf the most powerful individuals inCtheCworld--and one of the least understood. Much can be learned, however, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913-2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao's death. He led the Party's United Front efforts toward Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence, he ultimately supported the Party's crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. The Party's Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People's Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one's own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents, interviews, diaries, and periodicals, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping's father, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational, ideological, and coercive power of the CCP--and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.

President Donald Trump is heading to Scotland on Friday for a trip that blends golf with diplomacy. He'll first visit his Turnberry resort on Scotland's west coast, where he's set to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday for talks to advance the U.S.–UK trade deal. Trump will then travel 200 miles east to his Aberdeen property to open a second 18-hole course, which is named after his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod. She was born on a Scottish island before immigrating to the United States.Trump paid a rare visit to the Federal Reserve headquarters on Thursday, ramping up pressure on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut interest rates. The two also clashed over a controversial Fed renovation project that's slated to cost billions of dollars. Powell defended the renovation costs, saying the building requires significant structural repairs.Lawmakers have subpoenaed the CEOs of two of America's biggest financial institutions, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America. They're under scrutiny for their roles in the initial public offering of Chinese battery giant, CATL. The company is flagged by the Defense Department as a Chinese military company. The chairman of the select committee on the CCP said that "Wall Street shouldn't be underwriting Chinese military companies—and the American people deserve transparency."

Cultural Genocide, Ecocide and the Geopolitics of the CCP's Water Industrial ComplexDiscussion with Dr. Lobsang Sangay on the repressive occupation of the CCP in Tibet and the utilization of tightly controlled tourism to obfuscate it. We discuss the cultural genocide that has and is taking place, including the destruction of religious sites and compelling children to go to boarding school to Sinicize the next generation of Tibetans. We also discuss the CCP's commission of ecocide in Tibet from its rapacious extraction of critical minerals and other elements. Additionally, we discuss the environmental, human rights and geopolitical issues concerning the CCP's dams in Tibet, including building the world's largest dam. We also discuss the impact of climate change on the Tibetan plateau, the Tibetan government in exile and how governments in exile can retain democratic structures.For More Info: http://thegravity.fm/#/episode/66

Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – Confucius Institutes reportedly provide U.S. educational institutions with thousands of dollars in start-up costs, funded by the Chinese Communist Party, along with annual payments over a five-year period.

In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Dr. Rana Mitter, ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School. Henrietta and Rana discuss the relationship between history and politics in today's China, how memory of the Second World War shapes Beijing's thinking on Taiwan, the worldview of the next generation of CCP leaders, and more.  To learn more about Rana Mitter's perspectives on China, you can read his recent Foreign Affairs article, "The Once and Future China: How Will Change Come to Beijing?" as well as his most recent book, China's Good War: How World War II Is Shaping a New Nationalism.

Yesterday, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders intended to assure U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.  In the interest of competing with Communist China's aggressive pursuit of AI superiority, however, safeguards and oversight aimed at preventing “FrankenAI” from transforming us into a CCP-like“digital gulag” are being given short shrift.  Another, less fraught way to keep us ahead of the Chinese Communists would be to stop their underwriting by Wall Street. House China Committee Chairman John Moolenaar has just subpoenaed two of the worst malefactors – Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan and Brian Moynihan of Bank of America – in connection with their recent fundraising for a Chinese military company called CATL.   You don't need much intelligence to recognize, as President Trump did in his as-yet-unimplemented “America First Investment Policy,” that we have to stop funding the Chinese Communist Party.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Bryan Kohberger—the man who killed four University of Idaho students in 2022—is expected to be sentenced to four consecutive life terms. He was arrested six weeks after the killings and charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Kohberger pleaded guilty earlier this month and faces the victims' families at his sentencing hearing on Wednesday.The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is holding a hearing on Wednesday to discuss strategies for countering the CCP's economic coercion against democracies around the world. Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel are set to testify.

U.S. Makes 'Largest Trade Deal in History' With Japan; Habba Removed as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey | NTD Good MorningPresident Donald Trump is hailing a new trade deal with Japan as the largest in history, opening Japanese markets to more U.S. goods and lowering tariffs on Japanese cars. Japan is also planning to invest $550 billion in the United States and to launch a joint LNG project in Alaska. The announcement sparked a rally in Japanese stocks. The United States also reached trade deals with the Philippines and Indonesia on Tuesday, whereby Filipino goods will be charged a 19 percent tariff, but American goods zero percent.A panel of federal judges in New Jersey refused to extend the appointment of Alina Habba as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, instead naming her deputy as a replacement. Department of Justice officials said Habba was pushed out for political reasons, as she is a former lawyer to President Donald Trump. The DOJ removed her deputy hours later. It remains unclear who will now take up the role.On Capitol Hill on Wednesday, two former ambassadors to Japan and Australia will discuss how they can better cooperate with the United States to counter the CCP's economic coercion. The three nations are working to try to reshape global trade to lessen reliance on China and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific. The navies of the three countries recently signed a new logistics deal to streamline cooperation should a conflict break out in the Pacific. Meanwhile, the United States is pursuing trade negotiations with China next week in Sweden to discuss tariff deadlines.

In this hard-hitting episode of The China Desk, host Steve Yates sits down with tech entrepreneur and policy strategist Rod Martin for a wide-ranging conversation on U.S.-China relations. From PayPal's early disruption to the dangers of authoritarian AI, Martin traces how America's economic leverage—and spiritual clarity—can counter the CCP's ambitions. They break down China's demographic collapse, fragile real estate economy, and the strategic importance of Trump-era tariffs and rare earth independence. This isn't just about trade. It's about liberty, reciprocity, and the moral battle for the 21st century.

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:44] “[P]ragmatic diplomacy centered on national interests”[05:06] State of Play for Sino-South Korean Relations[09:56] Balancing Between the United States and China[14:47] China Taking Advantage of US-ROK Frictions [19:03] Economic Interdependence as a Leverage[25:39] Xi Jinping Attending APEC South Korea 2025[31:11] American Pressure on Allies to Protect Taiwan

//The Wire//2100Z July 21, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CHINA BEGINS MAJOR HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT IN TIBET. ALASKA AIRLINES SUFFERS IT OUTAGE, GROUNDING ALL FLIGHTS SUNDAY EVENING.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Central Asia: Over the weekend, Chinese authorities began construction on a major hydroelectric power plant in a remote region of Tibet. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held at a site adjacent to the future Yarlung Tsangpo Hydroelectric Power Plant in Nyingchi. This project is scheduled to be completed by 2033, and for comparison will allegedly be roughly three times the size of the Three Gorges Dam project.-HomeFront-Washington: Sunday evening an IT outage resulted in all Alaska Airlines aircraft being grounded for several hours. Roughly 150 flights were canceled as a result of the outage, and airline representatives have warned of future disruptions due to malfunctioning equipment. So far no cause for the outage has been disclosed, beyond general comments of unspecified equipment failure.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As with most Chinese industrial projects, the scale of the hydroelectric project in Tibet is impressive. However in this case, they are attempting to build the largest hydroelectric power plant in human history...directly in the middle of a region legendary for extreme seismic activity. More broadly however, there are mitigating factors which complicate this seemingly glaring mistake.As the dam will also be built over a river that flows into India, various concerns are present regarding restricting the flow of water into India. Conversely, since India will be the primary customer of the electricity, these concerns will likely waver over time due to India's extremely poor infrastructure. In short, China knows that India is desperate for electricity, so China is going to dam up a river on the Indian border and use what would have been India's own river to produce electricity to sell back to them. Consequently, since this power plant will be used to provide electricity for export, CCP officials probably don't care as much about the national security risks when/if the plant gets destroyed due to an earthquake or due to combat action.Considering that this dam can also be used to halt the flow of water into India, this dam highlights the often forgotten detail that the People's Republic of China rarely does anything that does not also have military value. The Yarlung Tsangpo River (which is known as the Brahmaputra River in India) accounts for roughly 7% of all of the freshwater supply in India (at least, according to the Indian government). This means that China can quite literally turn the screws on India, and apply pressure to their BRICS partner as necessary. Indian leadership, only interested in short-term gains (and cheap electricity), have either forgotten that there's no such thing as a free lunch and/or are so desperate to keep their failing electrical grid from outright collapse that they don't care about the potential military impacts that will occur in a decade when the plant comes online.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Against the backdrop of the Great Leap Forward, the Sino-Soviet split, the Cultural Revolution, and reform and opening up, we discuss… The moral dilemmas of a mid-level party cadre, What it's like to be purged, and why the party prescribes self-criticism as therapy, “Frenemies” in the CCP, Deng Xiaoping's autocratic side, and the unsung heros of the reform period, How Xi Zhongxun instilled party loyalty and other values in his son, Xi Zhongxun's return from exile and his complicated relationship with reform, How Chinese leaders think about redemption, guilt, and survival, And a bonus: Why the PRC-produced biopic of Xi Zhongxun is so disappointing — and why his life deserves the Star Wars treatment.
