THINK!.....
Alison Smith posted the following as a comment to an item on Matthew Manning’s Facebook page – with her permission, I’ll share it…..
“Matthew please can I show you something? It turned up on my Facebook feed and I was blown away with it because I linked it with the fear, manipulation and control that the daily news often exerts on some of us.
Here it is,
‘My daughter came home from school and said,
“Mom, you’re not going to believe what happened in history class today.”
Her teacher told the class they were going to play a game.
He walked around the room and whispered to each kid whether they were a witch or just a regular person. Then he gave the instructions:
“Form the biggest group you can without a witch. If your group has even one, you all fail.”
She said the whole room instantly lit up with suspicion.
Everyone started interrogating each other. Are you a witch? How do we know you’re not lying?
Some kids clung to one big group, but most broke off into smaller, exclusive cliques. They turned away anyone who seemed uncertain, nervous, or gave off even the slightest hint of being guilty.
The energy shifted fast. Suddenly everyone was suspicious of everyone.
Whispers. Finger-pointing. Side-eyes. Trust dissolved in minutes.
Finally, when all the groups were formed, the teacher said,
“Alright, time to find out who fails. Witches, raise your hands.”
And not one hand went up.
The whole class exploded. “Wait! You messed up the game!”
And then the teacher dropped the bomb:
“Did I? Were there any actual witches in Salem, or did everyone just believe what they were told?”
My daughter said the room went dead silent.
That’s when it hit them. No witch was ever needed for the damage to happen. Fear had already done its work. Suspicion alone divided the entire class, turning community into chaos.
And isn’t that exactly what we’re seeing today?
Different words, same playbook.
Instead of “witch,” it’s liberal, conservative, vaxxed, unvaxxed, pro-this, anti-that.
The labels shift, but the tactic is the same.
Get people scared. Get them suspicious. Get them divided.
Then sit back while trust crumbles.
The danger was never the witch.
The danger is the rumor. The suspicion. The fear. The planted lies.
Refuse the whisper. Don’t play the game. Because the second we start hunting “witches,” we’ve already lost. ‘
This really struck a chord with me because it’s so true.
We maybe need to stop believing everything we are spoon fed and be kinder and less judgemental. A xx”

From ‘Free Tibet’…..
“A breaking new report from Tibet Watch has revealed ongoing efforts to subject children as young as four to military-style training in schools across Tibet.
The new pilot programme started as 13 military veterans being stationed at 7 schools across Nagchu in the so-called ‘Tibet Autonomous Region’, however there are plans in place to spread the practice throughout occupied Tibet.
The objective of these military training sessions in schools is clear through the propaganda videos shown on state-run TV: “Plant the seeds of love for the party, love for the country, and safeguarding the border.”
In the bitter cold of Tibetan winter, with temperatures reaching -20°C, children are being forced to march around school grounds, perform flag raising ceremonies, and practice emergency drills - ducking for cover beneath desks and placing books over their heads.
This programme is a clear display of political indoctrination, targeting the youngest and most vulnerable in society.
While young children are made to sit and listen to ‘red stories’ glorifying the People’s Liberation Army and evoking loyalty to Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party, they are not only being fed a false narrative of Tibet, but are also being prepared for a future in military service.
As tensions grow between China and its border states, the CCP sees the children of Tibet as its future soldiers. Not as individuals bursting with potential and with the autonomy to choose their own paths in life, but as tools to be crafted and used to further the mission of the state.

Keep watching this space as we plan to take action to stop this mass political indoctrination, stop the colonial boarding schools, and Protect Tibet’s Children.
