Let’s not sugarcoat it—while Americans were busy binge-watching Netflix and pretending Hollywood still matters, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pulled off one of the greatest propaganda heists in modern history. On the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, Steve Bannon and China expert Chris Fenton laid it out plain: the CCP didn’t just crush dissent with tanks—they’ve been steamrolling global truth ever since.

The iconic image of “Tank Man,” the lone protester staring down armored vehicles in Beijing, should be burned into every freedom-loving brain on earth. But ask a Chinese college student about it, and you’ll likely get a blank stare. Why? Because the CCP buried it—digitally, culturally, and politically. And with Western help, no less.

Chris Fenton dropped the hammer on Hollywood’s role. Once, U.S. films dominated Chinese theaters—now it’s down to about 5%. Why? Because Hollywood sold out. They’ve tailored scripts, characters, and storylines to avoid offending Beijing. Our pop culture doesn’t dare portray China as it is: authoritarian, brutal, and controlling. Instead, they feed us glossy images of high-speed trains and “clean” cities. You’d think the CCP was running Disney, not death camps.

The game? Follow the money. American studios, investment banks, even shoe companies like Nike, kowtow to Beijing’s demands to keep access to their market. Beijing knows it. They’re not just shaping narratives—they’re rewriting global reality.

And it’s not just movies. According to Bannon and Ava from the New Federal State of China, the CCP’s war isn’t fought with guns—it’s fought with infiltration, influence, and psychological warfare. It’s in our media, our universities, our legal system, and yes, even Wall Street. They’re playing the long game, turning American institutions against patriots like President Trump, Peter Navarro, and Rudy Giuliani—labeling them villains while cozying up to the Biden camp like old poker buddies.

Think about it. The same tricks they used to demonize China’s real heroes in the 1930s and during the Tiananmen uprising, they’re using today in America. Divide the people. Demonize the opposition. Flood the zone with fake narratives. From Mao’s guerrilla tactics to Xi Jinping’s tech-enabled mind control—it’s the same communist playbook, just with a sleeker interface.

Here’s the bottom line: the CCP wants Trump out, wants MAGA buried, and wants you docile. They fear real populist movements because populism doesn’t bow to state control. They hate Trump because he stands up to them. They hate truth-tellers because truth burns through propaganda like a torch to paper.

So what now?

Turn off the garbage media. Read history. Demand your politicians stop selling out. Expose the corporations playing footsie with communism. And never, ever forget the image of that man in front of the tank.

Because if we forget him—if we forget June 4—we’ll forget what tyranny looks like. And the next time it rolls up our street, it won’t be in Beijing. It’ll be here.
