Forbes is now owned 95% by the Chinese and they post repeated bullshit on Youtube

They obviously are anti-American and have a bunch of people following them, handing on their every stupid word. Well, basically they post the idiot GQOP saying things in congressional hearings and make it as though they are sooo smart.

It would be very easy to take these people down in my opinion. We just need some people to go over their and remind them that they are not an American company and (they seem) to like to support the chaos junkies in congress. I've just been posting about who owns them and also things about the IQ of conservatives.

like this abstract from Science Direct: (And I have gotten NO responses to this; I believe it shuts them up)


Conservatism and cognitive ability are negatively correlated. The evidence is based on 1254
community college students and 1600 foreign students seeking entry to United States'
universities. At the individual level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with
SAT, Vocabulary, and Analogy test scores. At the national level of analysis, conservatism scores
correlate negatively with measures of education (e.g., gross enrollment at primary, secondary,
and tertiary levels) and performance on mathematics and reading assessments from the PISA
(Programme for International Student Assessment) project. They also correlate with
components of the Failed States Index and several other measures of economic and political
development of nations. Conservatism scores have higher correlations with economic and
political measures than estimated IQ scores.

1. Although I fear we will soon lump in Hong Kong with 'the Chinese', ATM that's still tenuous

IOW, a Hong Kong-based company is not necessarily 'The Chinese' in the context that you seem to mean it.

I wish it would remain so but sadly don't hold out much hope for the concept.

Do you know that dingbat has filed another article of impeachment against President Biden? The first was on Jan 21th 2021 and the last was a week or so ago.
