Time Text
China is standing up.
The people have had enough of the government's zero covid tyranny.
They've finally taken to the streets in what some are describing as the biggest uprising in the country since Tiananmen Square.
Now, this is amazing.
Of course, this is amazing.
Some of the world's most state oppressed people on earth have found their voice.
I love that.
And it should provide hope To all of us, however, I'm always wary of what narrative is at play behind the scenes, and more specifically, why the mainstream media is not only covering the anti-lockdown protests in China, but championing the protesters.
The UK media has called them brave, and the British government has told China that the right to protest must be respected in the same way our right to protest was respected back in 2020 and 2021.
Heavy-handed police beat the hell out of lockdown protesters in the UK.
And where were the media then?
They weren't calling us brave, that's for sure.
I remember Covidier granny killers being the main insults of the day, with the odd far-right anti-vaxxer thrown in there to really try and demonise us.
People of all walks of life, all colours, creeds, sexes, sexualities, that simply wanted to be able to live their lives freely.
Much like the people in China are doing now.
And what of the Canadian trucker convoy?
Trudeau, who openly admits he envies China's basic dictatorship, invoked emergency powers to crush the protests and even confiscated money from the people's bank accounts if they supported the truckers.
Not even if they were involved, just if they supported the right to protest.
Justin Trudeau, the love child of Wayne Gretzky and Chairman Mao, now says the Chinese government needs to respect the protesters' rights.
Wow!
And who did the Canadian media demonize?
Truckers.
And what about the farmers protests in Netherlands?
Plenty of media demonization there too.
Demonization of the farmers.
So why are they suddenly on the side of the freedom fighters?
Something doesn't add up to me.
Could it be that unrest in China might somehow have an impact in a different way?
It depends how it evolves, I suppose.
But if they get big enough, and they certainly could, it could affect global trade and product supply.
It's already affecting oil prices as the markets fear a shortage in supply.
Just stop oil bath dodgers will love that.
Now, I don't have the answer.
I just think it's a question that's worth asking.
Everything is connected, and that's why we should question everything.
I absolutely stand shoulder to shoulder with all of my Chinese brothers and sisters.
In fact, I'll stand with them every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
I just want to know to what end the West is looking to exploit their rebellion.
Kay Rubichek is an award-winning filmmaker, author, TV host and speaker on faith, family and freedom.
Kay's family fled communist regimes three times.
Now she uses her work to face the regime in its modern, global form.
Kay's book, Who Are China's Walking Dead?, is a shocking investigation into the socialist mindset and how it's created the walking dead in China and now Threatens the world.
Kay, welcome to Right Now.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Could you just tell our viewers, you know, a little bit of background about your family and their experiences with communist regimes?
Well, what's the most interesting thing about my family, I think, is that they didn't want to talk about it.
And there's so many people who say to me, you know, my family also escaped communism in one country or another, but they're not talking about it.
We're not always making the connections between what happened in the past with what's actually happening right now in front of us, because it can help us understand things so much.
Yes, I have dug into my family's history a lot more and I started asking questions, but unfortunately too late before a lot of my family members passed.
But Russia in the 1920s, then in China my family escaped to China before communism took over there, and then in China My father was born and raised as a young Russian boy and then he was very fortunate to escape after the communist regime came in and they went to Australia and my where I met where I was born and raised I met my husband who is from the former Czechoslovakia whose family escaped before the Berlin Wall came down so there's you know
Across the whole world.
We've had, you know, our facings with the communists.
And myself, I spent a day in a Chinese prison.
So, you know, you kind of see things change over time, but you also see history repeating too.
And I think we can learn a lot from that.
Absolutely.
I think one of the things as well which prevents history repeating itself is learning about history, teaching people about it.
And when I think back to my school days, I mean, oh, every year we learned something about the Nazis, but no one ever spoke about communist regimes.
I was never taught about Stalin.
I was never taught about Mao.
That just didn't happen.
And so it almost feels like that's part of it.
People just don't know what these regimes are all about.
That's, you're hitting the nail right on the head there.
The communist dictators have killed, they are the biggest mass murderers in history.
They have killed more people than both world wars combined.
You look at Stalin, you look at Mao, you look at Pol Pot in Cambodia, and that's only just starting the list.
The biggest mass murderers, why don't we know about it?
The crimes have never been, no one's ever been held to account.
No one has ever, there was no Nuremberg trials for the Communist Party.
And the Communist Party still exists today and it colludes with big governments, it colludes with Big money.
And really, when you start to follow the money and see where things go and who's working with who, then you start to see a trail.
They have never been held accountable for the crimes and the mass murder.
They are the biggest mass murders in our history.
And I want to make sure that my kids are taught the correct history on that.
I think it's vitally important.
Oh, absolutely.
And, you know, just looking at the last couple of years, you know, with the lockdowns and stuff like that.
Lockdowns killed countless amounts of people here in the UK that, you know, obviously because this is where we're based, so it's where, you know, I'm kind of, you know, my barometer is.
And I look at the people that were, you know, really pushing government for lockdowns and more draconian measures.
It was an organisation called SAGE, which was supposed to be an independent group.
But actually, one of the main players in SAGE was, well, is a lady called Susan Michie, who's a member of the British Communist Party.
It's extraordinary that this is happening now.
It's true.
And I just did a report a few weeks ago, just before the midterm elections here in the USA, on the number of senators, sitting senators in the US, that wouldn't pass a security check if they had to go through that process because of their affiliations with different communist parties around the world.
They're not being held accountable.
They're not being checked on those things.
And the facts, I interviewed a gentleman, Trevor Loudon, who you may know, well, international expert on communism, and his book that went through all these sitting senators and their affiliations.
It's just astounding that people are not paying enough attention to the ties with communist parties and regimes today, because they exist.
I mean, you look at what's happening The money ties between sitting officials and the Chinese Communist Party, the largest communist regime in the world, openly communist regime in the world today.
And that's when you really start to see how things connect.
You follow the money and then you start to understand Oh, that's why they think that way.
Because on the surface, some of the things that these people are doing doesn't make sense.
Lockdowns, we know that lockdowns cause so much irreparable damage.
And people knew that at the time they were raising the flag.
But there was people who were against it.
And it was only later, right?
I heard, I did see reports about the lady you mentioned from the SAGE group and I wasn't surprised that that was where someone like that would want to take a country like the UK and lead you guys that way.
It's the same thing happening here.
When you look at who is pushing for certain agendas, political agendas, you can often follow the money and follow the ideological ties back to existing Communist Party.
So whenever someone says to you, you know, communism, it doesn't really exist.
It doesn't happen.
It's like the ideology of communism, Marxism, socialism, it has never been found guilty of any of its murderous crimes.
And the people who still want that ideology to take place and to have that control and use it for their control, They are still working towards that goal.
You know, it's just ridiculous for us to think that, well, the Berlin Wall came down, some bricks and mortar came down.
Yes, people achieved a certain level of freedom there.
But those people who had a taste.
Of getting that control over Soviet Russia, over the Eastern European bloc and working with big money and big tech as it was up and coming at that time and with the US.
To think that they just gave up that power and said, well, let's just go gardening.
Let's just go and write a book and go back.
I don't think so.
Once you get that taste of power, it's really hard for them to give it up.
And that's what we see now.
It's just happening in different forms.
Exactly.
And what they're doing now is targeting the young massively.
I mean, when I look at universities with the kind of, you know, the woke agenda, just it comes into the whole cultural Marxism thing.
And then what's worrying about that is that these university students in 10, 15, 20 years are going to be In positions of authority or running businesses and things like that.
And so it's going to become more significant in society.
Just to go back briefly, you were arrested in China in 2001, I believe.
What happened there?
What was that like to be in a Chinese prison?
It must have been terrifying.
It was eye-opening, I've got to say.
I was there for 23 hours.
If they had held me for longer than 24 hours because I was an Australian citizen, at the time they would have had to get the Australian Embassy involved and the authorities knew that.
And I knew that too.
With the colour of my skin, with the passport that I had, and the naivety and ignorance that I had of the evils of communism at the time.
I thought I knew something about communism and China at the time, but I really didn't know anywhere near as much as what I realised.
I didn't know when I came face to face with just hundreds of Chinese police officers and And the way they treated me, and I was with others.
So we went and did a peaceful protest on Tiananmen Square.
It was the first time there was a large group of foreigners, of mostly Caucasians, but non-Asians.
And I was protesting against the persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual group in China.
And they'd been brutally persecuted.
And the media had absolutely slandered throughout China and also slandered even in my country in Australia and around the world and I was seeing these lies and I'm thinking what this is not true this is just not true and and so I started to investigate
I started to ask questions and then I realised this propaganda apparatus that the regime, that a communist regime, every communist regime relies on, especially China, is that media, national media control.
When they control the narrative, that's when they can get hold of the youth, they can get hold of the schools, they can get hold of your brain and just, even if you don't want to agree with it, when you see it again and again and again and again, eventually you're going to agree with it.
So I was just devastated that not only were all these lies coming out that I knew were not true, but people were being killed for it.
It's like killing people for doing yoga or jogging in the street.
And I thought that could be me if that was in China.
And then when I heard there was a small group of Americans going, I thought, well, those gutsy guys, maybe I could join them.
And so I decided to go.
And my dad, who was born and raised in China and escaped communism twice, Told me I was naive and ignorant.
He was absolutely right.
He was absolutely right, but I'm also stubborn.
And I wanted to see it for myself.
I feel that I just thought I needed to do that.
I didn't know.
I didn't know what would happen.
I didn't even know if I would be arrested.
I was holding a banner that said compassion.
I was arrested for holding the word compassion publicly in China.
You tell me, what did I do wrong?
I broke no law.
Absolutely not.
And the way I was treated was horrific, yeah.
What do you think now, looking at the protests that are kicking off there, you know, over the last week to ten days?
I don't know what the media is saying there, but here in the UK, they're very supportive of the protesters, which, I've got to say, it set off alarm bells for me, because they've been vilifying anti-lockdown protesters from Australia, from Canada, certainly from the UK, in the Netherlands, Anyone that stood up was called, you know, an anti-vaxxer, a far-right conspiracy theorist or a Covid idiot, you know, whatever they threw at them.
And now they're saying that these Chinese protesters are brave.
Now, I agree.
I think that they absolutely are brave.
I think it's fantastic that these people are standing up.
But I'm thinking, what's at play behind the scenes?
Why is the media happy for me to, for once, have an issue with China?
Why do you think that is?
For me, it's always distraction.
The media is just excellent at distracting us from, and not to downplay the protests.
I think the protests are, as you said, this is so important and it's about time that people do report on it.
They should be reporting it.
That should be normal reporting.
But as to the agenda behind the big media that we know when you follow the money, you know that they're actually getting money from communist China.
And there's certain topics they are allowed to cover and certain ones that they cannot.
And so I'm very familiar with those that are absolutely blacklisted that the media will not touch.
And anyone who does, they get immediately dismissed and disappeared in our society here in the West.
And we've seen this for decades.
So that is how the propaganda works, is that they Here they want to distract us in different ways.
And what are they trying to distract us from?
And it's not to downplay that.
But at the same time, there are massive protests happening around the world.
You look at things like, say in Brazil, where there's been millions and millions of people for 28 days on the streets.
Yet, you know, I put out a single report just showing the videos of saying, oh, look at what's going on there.
What are they talking about?
I mentioned election fraud and make election integrity was the word that I used.
And immediately that episode was that my report was taken off YouTube because I was showing I was just reporting on what the people were saying.
So people are being shut down.
As you said, our expressions are being limited and censored as to why what they're trying to distract us from.
I think it works in two ways.
It works for and against them.
So we do need to see what's going on in China, because if the Chinese people can stand up against the greatest, you know, strongest, strongest regime in the world right now, there's a lot of hope for all of us.
But Why is the media reporting on it when it shows them, it shows the people who are not so aware of this that like, maybe your media has been lying to you as well.
And maybe it's a good thing to stand up.
I just wonder what they're trying to distract us from because there are a lot of things at play, as you know, going on in your country, my country here, you know.
Yeah, no, it's a good question.
I think it needs to be asked, absolutely, you know, what is going on behind the scenes to change the media's perspective on protests.
Just finally, when you look at, say, the Ukraine situation, which again, this could be something we're being distracted from, there's so many different things going on.
Part of me thinks, you know what, the reason they have so many different things is that, so in the end, the general public, who, you know, they treat like idiots, will just go, it's too much, it's too much going on, I can't focus on any one thing, so I'll actually focus on nothing, you know, maybe that's it.
But when you look at the war in Ukraine, it's pushing Russia and China closer together.
Is that something that concerns you in terms of, you know, with them, maybe Iran coming in there as well, and all of a sudden you've You know, you've kind of got a trilogy there that's, you know, pretty powerful on the world stage.
It does.
But what concerns me more, or perhaps in the other way, I'm always trying to look for the strongest positive, because finding the worst negatives are Is easy, right?
We can all come up with like, what is the worst scenario that could happen here?
This could go this way, you know, nuclear war and this and that.
And it's like, hang on.
That's exactly what they want us to have.
They want us to fear.
The media wants us to fear.
And like you said, to be confused and overwhelmed and focused on like, Okay, what's going to happen here and there?
When instead, we could actually switch off the news in the evening and maybe read a book.
Maybe go and sit down with someone who you need to spend more time with.
Or maybe you need to plant that garden that you've been planning on doing or start, you know, being a bit more self-sufficient.
I think it's these kind of things that, and not to downplay the geopolitical importance of all of that, but That I just feel that we need to get back to the basics as human beings because we are too controlled by the media and these fearful, intentionally fearful narratives of what may or may not happen.
Because really, what could happen is that if we have the courage and the strength To just care for ourselves.
I'm not saying everyone's got to get up and do what the Chinese people are doing or the Brazilian people are doing on the streets right now.
But if people can be more self-sufficient in their selves and in their local communities, in their families, that is the strongest, strongest barrier that we have.
To fight against tyranny.
I recently published an e-book that I published for free on my website called Nowhere Left to Run 10 Steps to Survive Tyranny Today and I talk about this using examples from scientific studies as well as historical studies and just having a strong family, strengthening your family is one of the best protections you have against propaganda brainwashing.
So I really feel to me that That to me is more important than the things that are trying to scare me.
Because I try to focus on what I can strengthen in myself and others around me, rather than on like, you know, what is the worst possible scenario?
Because I think we have enough of that.
I think we need more on the other side.
That's such a good point, yeah.
To kind of just unplug from the Matrix, even if it's just for a few hours, I think that's, yeah, that's a great idea.
I must admit, a few years ago, even before the Covid nonsense, you know, the world wasn't perfect then and I was kind of taking on things emotionally a bit and I was kind of like, you know, political stuff and stuff that would affect, you know, day-to-day life and future and, you know.
Wars in the Middle East and all this kind of stuff.
And someone actually said to me, um, well, they basically prescribed me YouTube videos, right?
I'm not kidding.
They said basically watch sort of about five minutes a day of stupid cat videos, right?
And I just thought this is the most ridiculous thing to be... Do you know what?
It worked.
Because I just, I came away from all the nonsense and I was just watching stupid cat videos only for like five minutes, you know, I wasn't spending hours.
But afterwards I just had a smile on my face.
I was like, yeah, do you know what I mean?
There is more to life than You know, war and conflict and all that stuff, for sure.
And if I can add on that, you had a smile on your face.
One of the things I talk about in my book is the story that actually inspired me to write the book was a woman.
I've interviewed more than 100 survivors of communist tyranny and prison brainwashing, tortured people.
It's absolutely horrific stuff.
But One woman told me how when she was in a slave labor prison camp in China, eye contact between any of the innocent prisoners there was so fearful for the guards, the prison guards.
They were so scared that These women might make eye contact because that would give them hope to see that they're not broken and something even more powerful than that was a smile.
If one of them smiled under that tyrannical oppressive in such an environment and they smiled at another one, After undergoing such extreme brainwashing and torture, what they had to go through, and they said, I'm still not, that smile just said, I am not broken.
And it's a gift for everyone around you.
And it makes you feel good.
Like just scientifically, it's actually, I mean, it's really quite miraculous.
Just everything that goes off in your mind and, and all the chemical reactions and, and all those things that happen inside our bodies when we smile.
So it's like, okay, force yourself to smile.
Watch those cat videos, get that smile on your face.
Give it to someone else.
It's something that cannot be controlled by anybody.
And it can absolutely change someone's life.
It can change their day.
And it's for free.
And no one can control that.
So I think just getting that smile on your face is the biggest, you know, it's just such a big thing that we take for granted.
We think, oh, the big government's got to make these decisions and do all this stuff for us.
When you really think about it and you think about how powerful you are just as a human being, the fact that you're standing there, you've got that free will, it's like, Okay.
What am I going to do with this?
You know, and I think, I think there's a lot of strength in that.
So yeah.
Absolutely.
Thank you so much.
Well, thank you so much for joining us for, and well, I feel invigorated and I haven't even got to watch a cat video.
It's fantastic to have an uplifting chat, you know, particularly when I'm presenting, you know, a news and current affairs show when a lot of the news and current affairs isn't particularly nice.
So thank you for that.
You're so welcome.
Thanks for having me.
I really appreciate it and everything you do.
