What if it happened to you?

What if I hijacked a website from a CIA-adjacent org that spreads anti-China propaganda?

What if you were an ethnic minority living happily in your home country, and a small group of extremists, radicalized by external forces, started committing terror attacks against you and some of the other ethnic groups in your home country, prompting your government to take proactive measures to ensure your safety?

What if an enemy government of yours started funding some people and organizations from your diaspora around the world to tell lies about your government and claim they are committing a genocide against you? Claim that they're erasing your culture when you celebrate and embrace it every day?

What if this enemy government lies about your government using your people for forced labor despite the fact that you receive higher than average wages, and then ban the products that your people produce, taking much needed jobs away from you? What if the country making these claims has legalized slave labor and the biggest prison industrial complex the world has ever seen, and no right to accuse anyone else of wrongdoing?

This is what is happening to the Uyghur people in the Xinjiang Province of the People's Republic of China. This propaganda is being spread by China's enemy, the United States of America. It could happen to you, too.

The Uyghur Youth Initiative

The Uyghur Youth Initiative (UYI) is an organization run by a group of born-and-raised German college students, of which only a few are actually of Uyghur descent. None have stepped foot in Xinjiang (or ‘East Turkestan’, as they like to call it) and they are simply parroting information they have been given, which can be traced directly to the US Government.

The UYI used to run a website called ‘What if it happened to you?’. I say ‘used to’, because at some point, they forgot to pay to renew the domain. That hasn’t stopped them from proudly displaying the URL and a QR code that links to it in various events that they put on or attend. I noticed the URL in one of their videos a few months ago. When I went to check it out to see what it was, a domain error came up. I headed to my favorite registrar to see if it was up for grabs, and of course it was available. So I bought it. And I made it into something a little bit different than what it used to be.

Here’s my version:

You can read it if you want, but it’s quite similar to this article.

Here is a link to an archive of the old website. On it, they specifically thank the Campaign for Uyghurs and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) for helping to create the project, which includes the original website and a campaign where they place mirrors around Germany and at UYI events with a QR Code that takes you to the URL.

Campaign for Uyghurs is run by Rushan Abbas, who has deep affiliations with the US Government. She was previously a reporter for Radio Free Asia, which was started by the CIA during the Cold War to propagandize about America's enemies in Asia, like China. The current iteration of Radio Free Asia is US state media, funded and operated by US Congress with the same exact goals.

Rushan Abbas also worked in Guantanamo Bay as a translator for the 22 Uyghurs that the US imprisoned and likely tortured there. She was working directly with the US Department of Justice and the State Department.

Finally, she created the Campaign for Uyghurs with a grant from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). The NED is a regime change organization of the US government. Both founders admitted it is a CIA cutout that exists to do overtly what the CIA used to do covertly.

The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation is another regime change organization of the US government, started by an Act of Congress after the Cold War ended to continue to propagandize about their ideological enemies.

Both of these organizations that helped the UYI (either financially or logistically) to create the former version of this website and the mirror project have an ulterior motive to their actions, which is to propagandize about America's enemies in order to destabilize them.

The UYI also did an interview with Radio Free Asia, the aforementioned US state media organization, where they admitted that they were instructed by Zumretay Arkin, director of the Women’s Committee at the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), to take advantage of a social media trend. The resulting video 'mysteriously' went viral, gaining millions of views and tens of thousands of followers for the UYI.

The WUC is the umbrella organization that oversees the Campaign for Uyghurs and many other CIA-funded 'Uyghur advocacy' groups around the western world. The WUC is also funded by the NED, a CIA cutout.

The UYI is still clinging to absurd, sensationalized propaganda about the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, such as the claim that over a million Uyghurs have been imprisoned in 'concentration camps'. The origins of these claims can be traced directly to the US government through mouthpieces like Adrian Zenz, who is a Senior Fellow and Director in China Studies at the above-mentioned VOC, a government-funded organization with a goal of propagandizing against America's enemies.

So what's really happening in Xinjiang?

Despite accusing China of human rights violations in Xinjiang, the USA and the other white western countries that are perpetuating this lie have never been able to prove anything. Meanwhile, diplomats from 30 Muslim majority countries traveled to Xinjiang in 2022 and reported that China was doing an excellent job in the region. Should we believe the white western countries that routinely bomb and destabilize Muslims around the world, or should we believe the Muslims themselves? Should we believe the countries that are currently committing genocide against Muslims and Arabs in the Middle East; in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and elsewhere? Should we believe the propaganda we see in the West, when every single instance of it links directly to the US Government?

In reality, a tiny portion of Uyghurs were radicalized by ISIS-linked external forces. Over 200 terror attacks were committed in China by radicalized extremist Uyghurs who seek to establish an islamic ethnostate in Xinjiang (‘East Turkestan’), by either expelling the ~14 million non-Uyghur residents or subjecting them to a jizya as 'non-believers', or ‘infidels’, which the vast majority of Uyghurs do not want.

Eventually, Beijing decided to intervene to prevent more terror attacks. They arrested the tiny portion of Uyghur extremists and brought them to high security facilities for de-radicalization. At the same time, they established vocational schools for the Uyghurs living in remote villages near the border, who were often targeted by these external forces for radicalization.

These vocational schools existed to prepare the portion of Uyghurs who had been living without running water or electricity or modern medicine to integrate into modern society with all the creature comforts that it provides. They were given the opportunity to join job placement programs to start earning money to live in newly developed areas.

These facilities and vocational schools closed years ago, as China completed perhaps the single most effective, least violent de-radicalization and terrorism prevention program in history. Xinjiang is open for tourism, and anyone can go visit and see the Uyghurs living happily, and most importantly, safely, while celebrating their culture.

Don't believe these CIA backed lies.
