Wide Angle with Brendon Fallon

With congress prepared to send a $40 billion aid package to Ukraine, Americans are more worried about inflation, soaring energy and food prices, illegal immigration, and now a baby formula shortage. So why isn’t Washington representing the interests of the US electorate? Over the Target with Brendon Fallon and Lee Smith has the details.

Political agendas, like those that lead a government or regime to censor data, news, or entertainment can have severe economic consequences. This frames our discussion today on some startlingly bad economic decisions surrounding the Marvel film phenomenon. “Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” has been making headlines, but not solely for it’s box office achievements. It’s been blocked by China’s film censors for a most unexpected reason: A newspaper box for The Epoch Times that appears in the corner of a street scene. It goes without saying that Epoch Times, due to its frank coverage of China, is no favorite of the Chinese Communist Party; but that’s only the latest of what’s had Chinese censors in a spin over Marvel.

Instead, it say it’s honing in on so-called “disinformation.” Why are conservative commentators saying that this announcement has an unsettlingly ‘Orwellian’ feel to it. Where does Elon Musk’s recent, shock purchase of Twitter factor into this sudden governmental interest in ‘curbing disinformation?’ As it happens, Obama recently said, “People are dying because of misinformation.” And how did the so-called, ‘cashless billionairre’ manage to seize Twitter in the face of strong tech-oligarcy opposition?

Former president Barack Obama is at the head of a broad effort, that includes big tech and the national security establishment, trying to censor speech that's damaging to the U.S. ruling classes. Over the Target with Brendon Fallon and Lee Smith has the details...

The estimated global Covid-19 death toll stands at 6.24 Million (1 Million in the U.S.). Other social impacts of Covid-19 and its associated “management” policies, like how school closures have affected children’s development, are harder to quantify, albeit on display among our families and communities. Economically, Covid-19 and Covid “management” have almost certainly influenced the rising inflation and supply-chain crises we see now around the world. Yet, amid these multifaceted impacts of Covid-19 and associated policies, from the beginning until now, there have been people, businesses, and institutions making incredible fortunes. From America to China, I look at the global phenomenon of Covid-19 profiteering against the backdrop of everyday citizens’ distress, endangerment, and gross exploitation.

With historically bad poll numbers, the commander-in-chief appears to be steering his party to electoral disaster only months away. So are the deal-makers who got him elected looking to deal him out?

Parents who saw their children’s education stunted over the pandemic; people with chronic illnesses who couldn’t access the care they needed, and entrepreneurs whose businesses crumbled to nothing over 2020 to 2021—People such as these, may well know the impact of Covid-19 lockdowns better than many of the public-health officials who have implemented them. It’s also such people who would likely recoil at comments such as these from Dr. Anthony Fauci, seemingly praising Chinese Communist Party Covid management: “…and remember early on they were saying—and, I think, accurately—that they were doing better than almost anybody else.” In this episode, I explore some of the cold-hard truths of the Shanghai lockdown. I look at disturbing parallels between ‘Covid-management’ in the U.S. and ‘Covid-management’ by the Chinese Communist Party, and I revisit a lesson from ancient history for ruling powers seeking to ‘tighten their grip’ on the people.

After CCP officials shut down Wuhan two years ago, the world followed suit. And now it’s even worse with CCP officials imprisoning, starved, and tortured more than 25 million people in one of the world’s largest and richest cities, Shanghai. This isn’t a public health measure to stop a pandemic, but a political instrument to destroy freedom. Are Americans next?

In some ways, resistance against Covid mandates and restrictions seemed to be peaking in February with events like the Canadian trucker protest, which looked like it was beginning to spread to other places. Then suddenly, restrictions and mandates seemed to relax almost across the board at around the same time Russia began invading Ukraine and all attention shifted to that. Now, we see Obama getting more attention at a recent White House event than Biden, and even snubbing Biden–whose latest gaffe boldly called for Putin's removal from the Russian presidency. Surely, these kinds of lapses by Biden are a concern for the Democratic Party and a threat to their continued hold on power. News about Hunter Biden's laptop has also finally been picked up by major media; prompting the question of 'how come they're no longer giving Biden a pass'—Is something big coming?

Recently, President Biden visited Belgium and Poland to signal support to NATO members on Ukraine’s doorstep. In speaking to U.S. troops in Poland, Biden seemed to ‘let slip’ the expectation that U.S. forces will, at some point, be fighting against Russia in Ukraine. However, amid these developments, and sanctions led by the U.S. that are slamming Russia’s economy; the U.S. rolls back efforts, like the China Initiative, aimed at keeping the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ‘Unrestricted Warfare’ against the U.S. in check. As an aside, the CCP is heavily suspected of preparing to give, if not already providing, military support to Russia in Ukraine. What does the U.S. and its Western allies need to understand about the CCP in order to not be totally overwhelmed by it as it seemingly expands its global power?

What should Taiwan be doing to better defend itself? And what should the world be doing to prevent this ‘strategic asset’ from falling into Chinese communist hands?

They've destroyed Hong Kong,” says China economist and author of “Beyond the Belt and Road: China's Global Expansion.” At a time when Taiwan is, by many indicators, at its most averse to ‘stronger ties with China,’ it faces heightened danger of Chinese communist attack in view of the path set by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.

This was in response to a suspected hoax election that allowed Maduro to retain leadership and reports of widespread human rights by his government. In March 2022, Biden admin officials re-opened diplomatic relations with the Maduro regime to probe the prospect of sourcing oil from the country. Iran–if the Iran Nuclear Deal goes through–is also likely to be pursued as an oil source for America. The search for alternative oil sources by the Biden administration happens against the backdrop of recently announced U.S. oil, gas, and coal sanctions against Russia.

Xi even seemed to give a ‘quiet nod’ to the prospect of Putin going into Ukraine. But now, with Putin having ‘bitten the bullet,’ the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is drastically adjusting its messaging: The CCP Foreign Minister recently said that Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity should be respected. Why does Putin’s move on Ukraine put the CCP in an awkward position? Putin has long denounced the role of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and communism in dissecting parts of what was historically Russian territory. Was this the beginning of his justification for going into Ukraine, and does this rationale hold up to the light of day? Putin’s unabashed denunciation of communism is another sticking point in the China-Russia relationship. Where does the prospect of an alliance between the two superpowers stand given that Putin used “decommunization” as a basis for going into Ukraine? And what implications does this all have for China’s claims over Taiwan and the South China Sea?
