China Eastern victims "first seven"! The authorities turned the tragedy into a political event
It has been seven days since the crash of China Eastern flight MU5735. According to traditional Chinese culture, the seventh day after the deceased leaves is the first seven days. Relatives and friends are to pay homage to the deceased but what about the facts? The CCP authorities assigned a special task group of three to each victim's family, with the purpose of strictly preventing them from causing trouble and strictly controlling the scale of media interviews and publications. In the final analysis, the government wants to completely control all the rhetoric about the plane crash.
The families of the air crash victims complained online and asked for the right to know and the establishment of a family alliance to comfort each other to tide over the difficulties. However, the official did not respond and quickly deleted the family's "appeals" on the Internet.
In the past, the CCP’s stability maintenance in major security incidents has been to assign special personnel to “pacify” and do ideological work. The essence is to monitor and ensure that family members do not cause trouble, launch protests, and do not hold the authorities accountable. This special task group consisted of three people, mostly airline representatives with geographical ties to the family members, so-called consultants and social workers from the victims' hometowns. It is roughly estimated that China Eastern Airlines alone has dispatched more than 300 employees for this matter.
However, this kind of surveillance is of course unpopular. At the strong request of the family members, the CCP authorities had no choice but to arrange a group of 15 people to be taken by special personnel to a hillside where the crash valley could be seen, where a tent was temporarily set up. Candles and altars are lit inside, and family members are only allowed to stay for half an hour to mourn the victims.

The CCP deletes 279,000 pieces of information about the China Eastern Yunnan crash
At the same time, the CCP has also implemented strict information control over the air crash. The State Internet Information Office of the Communist Party of China issued a message saying that it has cleaned up seven types of so-called false rumors, and it has been criticized for Tencent, Sina Weibo, ByteDance, Kuaishou, Baidu, and Bili. Online platforms such as Bili, Xiaohongshu, and Zhihu cleaned up 279,000 messages, disposed of 2,713 accounts, and disbanded 1,295 topics. He also threatened to be stricter and stricter on information and accounts that spread rumors, spread conspiracy theories, and ridicule the disaster.
But on the other hand, the media also complained about the air crash. First of all, everyone has seen this incident. The official data released so far is very limited and "very slow", and the list of the families of the victims has not yet been released. Some reporters can only try their best to interview on the spot, but this time the official approach is quite decisive.
If a reporter with a press card enters the restricted area, he will be forced to leave; if a reporter without a press card enters the restricted area to interview, he will be taken away to make a transcript. Many reporters complained about it.
It can be seen from this air crash that the CCP has become more and more strict in controlling speech, and the paranoid and autocratic nature of Yiyantang has become more and more obvious. This can also be seen from the authorities' control of public opinion on the Russian-Ukrainian war point.

For the Russia-Ukraine War, the Party "brainwashed" students across the country
In the middle of this month, the education department of the Communist Party of China specially organized online group preparation lessons for political teachers in universities, middle and primary schools in Shandong, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang and other provinces, and specially organized training on how to explain and answer questions about the situation in Ukraine. It is to do a good job of brainwashing students so that teachers can accurately grasp the principled position and caliber of the situation in Russia and Ukraine. And guide students to understand the so-called international relations position of the CCP.
Li Yuanhua, a former associate professor at Capital Normal University, revealed to reporters that the Communist Party does not allow citizens to have their own thoughts. In the name of collectively preparing lessons, it is actually preaching a position of the supreme ruler of the Communist Party of China. Regardless of whether this attitude is correct or not, as long as it can brainwash the people , whatever.
In the past, the bandits were in the deep mountains, but now the bandits are in the organs, and the Communist bandits are not satisfied with looting people's wealth, but are more keen on looting people's ideas. And they are very particular about self-packaging, which is even more confusing. Now they're in suits and ties, and old bandits know how to dye their hair. "Dayu News Insider"

Xi Jinping's hair turns black and white, CCP officials black-haired politics
I don't know if you have noticed that the image of the CCP leaders has always been black hair dyed with ink. When they were in a meeting, both men and women, from the back, they all had jet-black hair, but from the front, their faces were full of vicissitudes, and their expressions were sleepy. And the hair of the CCP leaders, different people have different habits. Hu Jintao dyed his hair meticulously and carefully, perhaps matching his character. And Wen Jiabao doesn't seem to be used to dyeing his temples, showing an old-fashioned feeling. Another former CCP premier, Zhu Rongji, also had black and shiny hair when he was in office. And after retirement, the gray hair gradually flowed out. Whether the hair is dyed depends on whether the relevant senior CCP officials are in trouble. Some of the former top CCP leaders who were sacked had black hair during their tenure, but when they were tried after being sacked, they instantly showed white hair.
The CCP’s foreign propaganda told that senior CCP officials like to dye their hair, and took the initiative to announce the reason, saying that it would give the outside world a young and healthy political image. Their official promotion is also linked to their age and health, and CCP officials themselves are very superstitious. Some people think that dyeing black hair is a symbol of "black hats". It is often said that only the punctuation marks in the CCP's reports are true, everything else is false, and the weather forecast is inaccurate. Really, even the color of this hair is packaged. Zhongnanhai is the role of a large studio.
However, in recent years it has been a little different. Xi Jinping's hair has turned black and white, and it may become "one statue". He has to deal with all kinds of problems, so sometimes there is no time to dye his hair.
For example, on 23 March, Xi Jinping attended the funeral of high-ranking official He Luli in Babaoshan. In this photo, Xi Jinping's hair is full of white hair at first glance. Comparing the photos of the Winter Olympics on the 13th with the photos during the two sessions, it can be called "white hair overnight", and the changes are quite large. Either he is "tiringly destroying people" with various senior officials of the CCP, he is too busy, and he doesn't care about dyeing his hair, or he has too many worries, and his hair is really gray. Of course, it's probably because I didn't dye my hair, but I've had a lot of worries recently.
From a black swan flying over Tiananmen Square last year, to the first day of the Two Sessions this year, the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City was blown down by the wind. To be explained according to metaphysics, this indicates that it is not good to be a teacher. In addition to thinking of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it also gives The CCP's plan to invade Taiwan is a wake-up call.
In February of this year, the Russian-Ukrainian war broke out. Russia originally thought that it could quickly win Ukraine, and the CCP should also be happy to see it. However, it backfired and the war fell into a quagmire. The CCP originally wanted to support Russia in a high-profile manner, but now it has moved to a low-key position, and in international public occasions, it plays both hands, while continuing to have an affair with Russia, while pretending to be a human being with Ukraine. Playing a character with such a split personality, it's hard not to grow old.
In addition, the epidemic cannot be eliminated, and under strict control, it has not been cleared, and the epidemic is still spreading everywhere.
There are also the Xuzhou Iron Chain Women Incident and the recent China Eastern Airlines crash. What troubles Xi Jinping the most is that some veteran cadres of the Communist Party of China have put pressure on Xi Jinping on the grounds that they have not dealt with Sino-US, Sino-Russian relations, and economic issues. Inside and out, he expressed doubts about his re-election. It indicates that the intra-party factionalism before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is still fierce.

The fire in the Forbidden City, the billowing smoke from Zhongnanhai
In fact, at the top of the CCP, it should be very "lively". Just as the situation was in full swing, on March 26, the back of Zhongnanhai " caught fire" as appropriate, and a line of blue smoke rose to the sky. According to local sources, the fire broke out at the renovation site of the old building of No. 161 Middle School near Beihai Park. Because Beihai Park is just behind Zhongnanhai, the smoke is billowing, and it looks like a fire in Zhongnanhai from a distance. Many netizens also say this. It is an ominous omen, and it is directly aimed at this leadership group at the top of the CCP.
The fire in Beijing, especially the Forbidden City, the fire in the sensitive area of Zhongnanhai, is no more than ordinary places. Historically, fires in such forbidden areas have always attracted great attention and have a place in the history books.
In the history of the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there have been unusual fires, which seem to reveal some providence. According to records, Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty settled in the Forbidden City in 1420, and a fire broke out in less than 4 months. At that time, three palaces were affected, namely Fengtian, Huagai and Jinshen, which is now Taihe in the Forbidden City. Hall, Hall of Central Harmony and Hall of Preserving Harmony. It was a fire caused by lightning. Because the ancients talked about the unity of man and nature, the government and the opposition were also discussing the fire, but at that time Zhu Di issued an edict to "seek blunt speech". This is just one example of the Ming Dynasty fire in the Forbidden City, and there are others.
In contrast to the Qing Dynasty, the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty had much less fire. However, during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there was also a fire. At that time, the Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Hall, Hongde Hall, Zhaoren Hall, etc., were all set on fire and turned into ruins. Later, more than 30,000 soldiers and workers were used to clean up these ruins. Emperor Qianlong, who was already the emperor at that time, was almost hit by a fire. Fortunately, the wind did not blow towards him. Qianlong also sighed: Buddha bless. He also issued an edict himself and asked officials to find out the cause of the fire.
This is all a matter of history, but just by looking at these historical stories, we can detect a detail, that is, the emperor in the past knew how to sin against himself, and now the Communist Party, what catastrophe happened, and then the official media reported, how? They are all saying "thank the party and the government". This is far beyond the logic that normal people can understand, and it is a strange flower unique to the Red Dynasty.

Ukraine proposes its security guaranteed in terms similar to NATO's clause
Ukrainian
negotiators said they had proposed a status under which their country would not
join alliances or host bases of foreign troops, but would have its security
guaranteed in terms similar to “Article 5”, the collective defence clause of
NATO.
They identified Israel
and NATO members Canada, Poland and Turkey as countries that could help provide
such guarantees.
The proposals would
include a 15-year consultation period on the status of Russian-annexed Crimea,
and could come into force only in the event of a complete ceasefire, the
Ukrainian negotiators told reporters in Istanbul.
The Russia-Ukraine talks took place at the Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul in the morning of 29 March 2022, and Abramovich was present as an unofficial mediator just a day after it was revealed he was poisoned at a previous meeting, along with two Ukrainian officials.
The Chelsea owner was left temporarily blind after eating chocolate and drinking water during negotiations in Kyiv earlier this month with Ukrainian MP Rustem Umerov, who is also present in Turkey today, and another unnamed diplomat.
The Kremlin said Abramovich is not an official member of their delegation as they also rubbished the poisoning claims, dismissing them as part of the 'information war' despite the businessman's spokesperson confirming he suffered symptoms.
Ukrainian officials were warned not to eat, drink or even touch anything during today's negotiations, and delegates were given bottled water with glasses covered with paper tops.
