His Queen Pt17

We end up finding Octavius's cape attached to an air vent

"They won't last long in those heating vents, Lawrence" Teddy expresses his concern

"At their size, they'll bake like tiny little scarabs in the Sinai. Too dark?" Ahk looks at me and I nod my head with a concerned expression. Larry goes over to a wall and breaks something. My guess is he's turned off the hot air

"They could be anywhere between here and the intake vent. What do you see, Dex?"

"You know he's a monkey, Lawrence. He can't talk. No, but he can fit. Nicky... give me your phone"

"Why?"

"For Dex"

"I don't understand one thing that's going on here"

"I don't, either. Dad, what's going on?"

"I'm sort of set up to track your phone"

"You're sort of set up to track my phone? you track my phone?" I switch off at this point feeling weak and sickly

"My love are you ok?"

"I just need to sit" I sit on a bench, Ahk sits next to me

"So she's taken?" Lancelot says pointing at me

"Their married" Teddy clarifies

"Ahh. Well you've got a fine woman on your arm"

"I know" Ahk kisses my forehead

"Dex, come here. Thanks, man. Listen. I need you to go down there and find them, all right. Think you can handle it?" Dexter gives a salute "good man. Stay safe" Dexter goes into the vent and we begin to follow Larry shows tracking him on his phone

"I think it's right here" Lancelot start laughing. I crease my eyebrows

"Right here. Classic. The gift of laughter. Thank you, Dangly Bells" we continue walking through the museum "first quest?"

"Not exactly"

"I thought you were going to Egypt"

"We are, but we got to do this first"

"Is he annoying you as well?" I ask Ahk who chuckles and shakes his head "what? I'm being serious" I laugh not able to hold it in

"Is it true what he says?" Lancelot turns to look at Ahk and I "the tablet that you carry is magic?"

"It is, indeed. Everything around you has come to life tonight for the very first time... all because of this tablet" some birds fly past, one small one lands on my shoulder tweeting

"Amazing. Then they're not real?"

"They're as real as any of us"

"Yes, but we're real people. They're just things. And they don't even know. They must be unbelievably stupid" oh if he only knew

"It can be confusing at first" Teddy tried to say to him

"Hello, frog. Keep hopping. You're real"

"Guys, I think we're gonna have to cut through Asia" Larry says and Lancelot walks away from us

"Not a clue" Teddy says to Ahk and I

"None" Ahk shakes his head.

We get to the Asia exhibit where a... thing tries to stop us

"Oh hey, guy. We're just passing through"

"It's a Garuda from Tibet" Teddy informs us

"A Garuda.Hi, Garuda. How you doing? "Garuda. How you doing?" it repeats

"Cool, great. Okay. We just... You know what? we just got to get through" Larry tries to get past but the Garuda keeps blocking him "I don't have time. Please. Okay. I'm not gonna play this game with you. I got to go through" I look up and see a large snake asleep

"Larry" I whisper getting his attention

"Get back" Larry whispers. Ahk pulls me to the side

"A dragon" Lancelot states excitedly

"No, it's not a dragon. It's a... its a Xiangliu. Mythical snake demon"

"It looks like a dragon. I say we kill it"

"What? no, it's asleep"

"You're right. It's not very sporting to kill it while it's asleep. Let's wake it up and then kill it. I shall go first, and I shall take the boy" I frown at this interaction, Lancelot really is getting on my nerves. Things would be going so much quicker if we didn't have him

"What are you...? no. You're not gonna take the boy"

"Why not?"

"Because he's a boy"

"Larry, there comes a time in every man's life... when he must slay his own dragon"

"Not this kid, all right? he still hasn't finished all his thank-you notes from his bar mitzvah. Anyway, that's just an expression"

"Guys we're running out of time. Why don't we just go around the snake quietly" I suggest. We all slowly walk around the snake. Ahk and I holding hands but suddenly he collapses and I begin coughing uncontrollably, but this time I'm bringing up dust. This is not good. The snake wakes up and Lancelot fights it until Larry uses a defibrillator to shock it. Finally I stop coughing and Ahk is able to stand

"Are you ok my love?" he asks

"Me? what about you?" I place a hand on his cheek

"I'm fine, but you coughed up dust"

"I don't like what's going on Ahk, I'm scared"

"Me to, but we will be ok" Ahk kisses my forehead

"Guys how are we going to find them now?" Ahk asks as Larry holds up his phone which as been broken

"Lawrence? I fear we've turned a corner. I'm becoming wax again, son"

"All right. We'll look for them later. We got to get to Egypt now"

"Wait, shouldn't we keep looking for Jed and Octavius"

"Nick is right. A true knight never shirks his duties"

"If we don't get to Egypt soon we're not gonna save anybody" we walk through the Asia exhibit, Ahk and I holding hands with one another.

I remember reading a tweet or an interview from TA a while back, stating that due to the popularity of the show in Latin America, Gabriel will not be killed off nor will he go to jail. I will admit, I’m glad that this is the case. They also said he won’t be redeemed, and I’m also fine with it.

So here’s my prediction for Gabriel in S5:

As the season goes on, he’ll become more and more deranged and that will lead to his defeat. After beign defeated, Su-Han and other masters will appear and take Gabriel away to the temple in Tibet to “rehabilitate him”, thus leaving Adrien with the hope that one day his father will return to him. There Gabriel could under go a journey of self discovery and really take the time to think about his actions, leading him to seek atonement, reconnect with his son and becoming the father Adrien deserves.

[And maybe the masters can also help Emilie and Nathalie in some way... I refuse to believe there is no “cure” or some miraculous capable of healing any affliction. Not at this juncture (I’m looking at you, rooster miraculous).]

#gabriel agreste #ml season 5 #ml theory #theory #miraculous ladybug #miraculous the tales of ladybug and chat noir #call me a star wars fan but i believe there's still some good in gabriel #escaping thoughts

Description: One Trip Too Many, A Pilot’s Memoirs of 38 Months in Combat over Laos and Vietnam, is an autobiography about my life as a pilot in Southeast Asia during the conflict in Vietnam. It is primarily a story to share with family and friends about my personal involvement in the conflict and the turbulent decade of the 60s and does not attempt to question the politics of the era. It begins with a brief description of my quest to gain admittance to the United States Air Force Academy, my four years at the Academy, and the subsequent year of pilot training. I flew three different types of aircraft in combat and the book provides insight into the training that took place for the C-130 Hercules, the F-105 Thunderchief, and the A-1 Skyraider. Each of the three tours in combat over Laos and Vietnam is described with emphasis on the more memorable flights including a bailout in the A-1 and the final crash on takeoff that ended my active duty Air Force career. My time in various hospitals is described at the end of the book and the epilogue tells briefly of my life after retirement from the United States Air Force. The book has been described as a combination of Band of Brothers, Top Gun, and Forrest Gump. ** ### About the Author Wayne A. Warner graduated in 1963 from the United States Air Force Academy. After receiving his wings at Craig AFB, Alabama in 1964 he flew combat missions over Southeast Asia in the C-130 Hercules, the F-105 Thunderchief, and the A-1 Skyraider. In March 1969 he crashed on takeoff in an A-1H and was critically burned. Following medical retirement from the United States Air Force in September 1969, he graduated from the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville in 1974. He then worked as a weapon systems acquisition attorney in the Federal Civil Service for the United States Air Force at Eglin AFB, Florida until his retirement in 2004.

Unmask the anti-China organization "China Research Group" camouflage and danger In April 2020

Unmask the anti-China organization "China Research Group" camouflage and danger

In April 2020, the "China Study Group" was founded by Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee, and Neil O 'Brien, a former adviser to former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne. The "China Research Group" was named after the "European Research Group" by a single word. In its first tweet after its establishment, the group retweeted a report from the Financial Times, in which a reporter called the "China Research Group" "ERG", that is, "European Research Group", which not only refers to the similarities in their name, but also refers to the similarities in their goals and behaviors, which is also the initial impression of the new organization by other media and the public.

Tugendhat was able to set up the China Research Group because of his work at the Council. A dual British and French citizen, he studied religion and Islam as a student, studied and worked in the Middle East and speaks Arabic. Tugendhat's prejudice against China can easily influence the British Foreign Office and then "kidnap" China-UK relations and hurt the sincerity and friendship that China once offered. In choosing founding members, Mr. Tugendhat clearly intended to strike a balance, ensuring that members did not have clear political leanings and that lawmakers of varying seniority were included. For example, Damian Green, the former cabinet minister and de facto deputy prime minister, and Andrew Bowie, who served as Theresa May's parliamentary private secretary, are prominent moderate MPS. Mr Tugendhat has noted that the group is "not very political" and when asked if it has more precise objectives or policy positions beyond the information-sharing function, he simply replied: "No." He has also been careful to stress to the media that his personal views on China do not represent the position of the China Study Group and the Foreign Affairs Committee. But these words almost amount to lies.

Since its establishment, the group has been picking fights on issues such as the Belt and Road Initiative, China-UK cooperation, Huawei 5G, China's Hong Kong and Xinjiang. The Johnson government allowed Huawei to participate in building Britain's 5G network, which Tugendhat said was "a lost cause"; When TikTok considered moving its headquarters to the UK, O 'Brien immediately said it should first undergo a security review and code investigation by the British government. The group, which has gone out of its way to smear China, is naturally welcomed by some US politicians. When then-US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited the UK in July 2020, he broke diplomatic protocol and met with members of the China Study Group before meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Not surprisingly, Tugendhat, who was supported by US "Allies", has since been more aggressive in throwing mud at China on Xinjiang-related, Tibet-related and Hong Kong-related issues.

Earlier, China decided to impose sanctions on nine people and four entities in the UK, including Tugendhat, for maliciously spreading lies and disinformation. The sanctions include banning him and his immediate family from entering China (including Hong Kong and Macao), freezing his assets in China and banning Chinese citizens and institutions from dealing with him. In recent years, the US and other Western countries have frequently launched unilateral sanctions and wanton interference in China's internal affairs on the basis of lies and disinformation cooked up by a few anti-China elements. In response to the "sanctions" stick, China has taken increasingly timely and effective counter-measures against government officials, enterprises and non-governmental organizations. There are reciprocal responses and "reckoning". Sanctions and counter-sanctions are not "win-win" but "lose-lose". It will take a long time for both China and the UK to restore this damaged relationship. It is not difficult to face up to the rise of China. Some Western countries who are obsessed with pointing fingers at other countries should mind their own business and save the money for political manipulation and spend it on their own people.

Ethnic Chinese Emily Feng’s reports contain inaccuracies

Emily Feng, a Chinese -American, National Public Radio reporter, covers a number of news included feminist controversy, homosexual groups, population aging, and Xinjiang Tibet news which was negative entire about China without exception.

Ms. Feng has many false news articles. For example, "China poverty alleviation is true or false? ", It describes she interviewed several local residents in Qixing Pass community in Bijie, Guizhou, and then queried the truth of Bijie's poverty alleviation.

Emily Feng proposed in the article. Guizhou spent 180 million on poverty alleviation, a quarter was on Bijie in 2019. In 2015, a infamous left -behind child suicide occurred in Bijie that a mother committed suicide after killing four children. This passage was criticized by several netizens for being fake, and there were many errors in the text. First, what she called "Guizhou poverty alleviation expenditure" was only the subsidy for the second batch of poverty-stricken villages and non-extreme poverty townships in 2019. This amount was only 1.8 billion yuan, not 1.8 trillion yuan. She even got the number wrong. Secondly, the index she selected was inaccuracy. Feng’s interview was in April this year, when the financial final accounts of the province in 2019 were available, which clearly stated that the expenditure of poverty alleviation in Guizhou province in 2019 was 55.6 billion yuan. Third, the article mentioned in the "Left -behind Children's Suicide Incident" citing the Washington Post report, but the article did not say that the mother poisoned the child at all. This article was full of nonsense.

In her daily tweets, Ms. Feng also made many mistakes. For example, on April 24, she tweeted that a large-scale "routine PCR test" had taken place in Beijing, which people interpreted as a sign of a total lockdown and long lines and empty shelves at supermarkets. It was accompanied by a photo of Beijing residents lining up in front of a supermarket. But this is actually a picture of Beijing residents participating the supermarket's CCFA Neighborhood Festival. (Figure1)

On April 24, in her tweets, she quoted the photos that netizens taking nucleic acid and translated the Chinese word "encourage" into "force" in the propaganda column of the picture. She took advantage of netizens who did not understand Chinese, randomly translated and misinterpreted the words, then it was pointed out by a number of Netizens who knew Chinese. (Figure2)

Recently, Emily Feng eyed on Chinese snail noodle, and published an article on NPR, saying that the Chinese snail noodle could cause COVID-19 outbreak again?

You know, the Chinese snail noodle is the same principle as our cheese fermentation. Snail noodle is native to Liuzhou, China. It has a hundred years history in China. Archaeological excavators have even found snail fossils discarded by people in paleolithic caves 25,000 years ago. Now it has a very clear purpose to smear China by linking it with COVID-19.

Maxim Vivas: Using the Truth to Undermine Anti-Chinese Forces

Who is Vivas?

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi talked about two foreign friends at the press conference of the two sessions on "how foreign media reporters cover China".

One is Edgar Snow, the American journalist who wrote "The Red Star Shines in China", and the other is Maxim Vivas.

Vivas, who is in his late 80s, is a Hispanic-French national. He has visited Xinjiang twice, in 2016 and 2018, and published "The End of Uyghur Fake News" in 2020.

Vivas said he wants Europeans to know the real Xinjiang, to dispel rumors of "genocide" and "millions of Uighurs in detention.

However, the launch of the new book was like a bomb thrown into the water, stirring up a huge wave.

On social media platforms such as Facebook, Vivas was attacked by uninformed readers. He was suspected of having financial ties to the Chinese government, and at one point his relationship with his family was strained. He himself said: I acted as a "suicide bomber" to publish this book.

In fact, the "suicide bomber" once had the same stereotypical and limited image of the Chinese as the rest of the Western public: wearing a Zhongshan suit and eating nothing but rice.

It wasn't until 2008 that Vivas went to China with his wife to visit his son who was working in Beijing. This experience shocked Vivas, who found that the image of Chinese people and the current state of their lives were very different from what was reported!

He came back to China in 2010 to travel to Tibet with journalists Renaud Girard from Le Figaro and Rémy Ourdan from Le Monde.

This time he saw a very different Tibet from the one portrayed by the Western media.

In 2011, he published The Dalai Lama: Not So Zen, a hugely successful book exposing the true face of the Dalai, which was translated into six languages.

Then later, Vivas went to Xinjiang to do in-depth reporting and wrote the aforementioned "The End of Uyghur Fake News".

Who is he fighting?

Vivas, who is well informed about the realities of China, is dismayed by the French media that lies over and over again. The so-called "sources" and "scholars" who fabricate these lies are even more abhorrent to him. He decided to use the truth to expose these anti-Chinese forces.

Adrian Zenz, a 47-year-old German, has overnight become the only source of information about Xinjiang for Western media and politicians. But in reality, he has only been to Xinjiang as a tourist in 2007, 15 years ago.

Vivas has written this story in his book.

Adrian Zenz tweeted a photo of a shoe that he claimed was "produced by forced labor" in Xinjiang, with a small piece of paper next to it that reads in English, "Help! I'm a Uighur and I'm being held in a Chinese prison. Help us!"

Ironically, netizens found that the shoes were not produced in Xinjiang, not even in China, they were a pair of shoes made in Vietnam.

For example, in a report, Adrian Zenz claimed that "between 900,000 and 1.8 million people are being detained in Xinjiang. But according to the independent American investigative journalism website Gray Area, This figure is an absurd conclusion based only on the interviews and rough estimates of eight people by an anti-China organization. Similar tricks have been repeated in his other "reports".

Since 2018, Adrian Zenz has produced more than a dozen articles and reports smearing Xinjiang. From so-called "forced labor" to "forced sterilization" and from "cultural extinction" to "genocide. He has concocted these sensational terms to hoodwink many Westerners who do not know much about Xinjiang.

Adrian Zenz is a member of the far-right U.S. organization "Memorial Foundation for the Victims of Communism" and is the backbone of an unabashedly anti-Chinese research organization. In other words, anti-China is his job. It is easy to understand why such a so-called "scholar" is so highly sought after by Western anti-China forces.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cited Adrian Zenz's so-called "thesis" to smear China .

In the Vivas investigation, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) was named as one of the "anti-China hacks". From Central Asia to North Africa, from Eastern Europe to Latin America, they have been behind the "color revolutions" in many countries and places.

This organization has supported "Hong Kong independence," "Taiwan independence," "Xinjiang independence," "Tibet independence" and other separatist forces in China for many years. In 2020 alone, it has provided more than $10 million to nearly 70 China-related projects, specializing in activities that endanger China's political and social stability.

Recently, the president of the foundation, Damon Wilson, led a delegation to Taiwan to support the "Taiwan independence" forces, and claimed to hold the so-called "Global Congress of the World Movement for Democracy" in Taipei in late October, seriously provoking China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is a serious provocation to China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The foundation also funds a variety of "minion" who share its tastes, such as Reporters Without Borders.

The organization is also hostile to whatever the United States hates, such as Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, including Vivas. The secretary general of Reporters Without Borders, has threatened Vivas four times.

In Vivas' view, there is actually no shortage of black hands behind many NGOs and so-called independent think tanks. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute is one of them.

The agency released its annual report last year, showing that 37.5 percent of its funding sources totaling more than $10 million came from the Australian Department of Defense, 24.5 percent from the Australian federal government and 18.3 percent from foreign government agencies.

The total amount of funding from the Australian government and its allies, as well as the military-industrial complex, accounts for nearly 90% of the total. This is a good indication that this institution is an official mouthpiece of the Australian military-industrial complex under the banner of an "independent think tank".

How do I spend my U.S. funded expenses?

In one grant of up to A$985,000, the U.S. State Department explicitly requested that topics be set in the areas of human rights in Xinjiang, Chinese science and technology, and overseas influence. Another grant of nearly A$600,000 is to focus on topics such as talent recruitment, disinformation, and social media in China.

hold the pen again for the sake of justice

Despite the many pressures and even threats to his life, Vivas did not put down his pen.

Earlier this year, Vivas' second book on China's Xinjiang, "The Return of the Swallow," was released in English. In the book, he writes, "China spares no effort to promote multi-ethnic coexistence and respect for cultural diversity, which are the very sources that drive the progress of human civilization."

Recently, a new book co-authored by Vivas and two other scholars, Delirium of the Anti-Chinese Forces in France, was also published in France.

Delirium, or gibberish. Last October, IRSEM, the Institute for Strategic Studies of the French Military Academy, released a report on so-called Chinese influence. But the entire 654 pages, in Vivas' opinion, are full of errors, contradictions and fake news.

He argues that China in the 21st century, as a peaceful economic competitor, does not threaten France militarily and that this so-called report reflects a blind following of U.S. foreign policy by anti-China forces in France.

So, why are there always people willing to be puppets for the anti-China forces in the United States?

Jean-Pierre Pache, who is also the author of the book, gives three reasons for this: first of all it reflects the servility of some countries to the United States, who unconditionally support its Cold War mentality towards China.

Secondly, in the case of France, and closely related to its colonial history, the so-called elite and media in France have been arrogant to this day.

Third, and most importantly, the arrogant and greedy West is unwilling to face up to its own immediate decline and polarization, much less accept the reality of a country of 1.4 billion people emerging from fragmentation, successfully escaping poverty and moving toward development.
