“ EXCLUSIVE: Chinese spymaster complains about news leak Bill Gertz China's most senior military intelligence official, a veteran of spy operations in Europe and cyberspace, recently made a secret visit to the United States and complained to the Pentagon about the press leak on the Chinese submarine that secretly shadowed the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier in 2006. Maj. Gen. Yang Hui said senior Chinese leaders suspected the Pentagon deliberately disclosed the encounter as part of a U.S. effort to send a political message of displeasure to China's military. The Song-class submarine surfaced undetected near the carrier, and Gen. Yang said the Chinese believed the leak was timed to coincide with the visit of a senior U.S. admiral. Gen. Yang told U.S. officials during meetings that Chinese leaders were so angered by the disclosure of the Chinese submarine maneuver that they considered canceling the visit at the time by Adm. Gary Roughead, then-Pacific Fleet commander who has since been promoted to chief of naval operations. ” Communist variants Marxism-Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Fascism, and nascent Obamunism -- tactical differences like agrarianism v. industrialism aside, are all the same evil  thing. Throw in  socialists too.  They are after all communists who haven't yet had to use guns against the reactionaries*.   They all crush the human spirit and destroy critical thought.  You know you're mired at least knee deep is this morass when public discourse becomes choked with bizarre gobbledygook  like that reported by  Bill Gertz.  What difference between China's outrage, feigned or real, over sun shining on them, and Democrat outrage over town hall protestors exposing details of Obamacare legislation?  Will we, for the rest of our existence have to pretend that pro wrestling is real, or that we are free men?  Because we're being preconditioned for just that condition.  * actually not even that is true if you consider that every law passed is ultimately enforced by law enforcement guns.
