Check out this video from a recent Patrick Byrne interview. Patrick has degrees from Cambridge and Stanford and studied Chinese political history at Dartmouth and in Beijing. So what he is telling us is terrifying.

Patrick Byrne: China Is Taking Us Out From Within

Authored by Li Hai via The Epoch Times,

Patrick Byrne, founder and former CEO of Overstock, said that China is “taking us out from within” during an interview with Dr. Jerome Corsi on Monday.

  • “The greatest way to fight a war, in the Chinese way of thinking, is not to have to fight at all. That’s what they’ve done here,” Byrne said.

Byrne studied Chinese history at Beijing Normal University from 1983 to 1984. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese studies from Dartmouth College.
  • “Though we spend a trillion dollars a year between our military and our intelligence, national security circles … that trillion dollars we have and we’ve built, you know, things that can stop all their planes and their missiles and all kinds of things. But we missed the one they use, which is not a fight at all, not firing a bullet or missile at all, but taking us out from within. And that’s what’s going on.
Byrne pointed out that the Chinese regime is engaged in “a slow coup.”

“It’s a revolution. The stages of such a revolution are very well mapped out. We understand this. It’s demoralization, disorientation, crisis, then normalization: those four steps.”

  • “The demoralization is what happened this year with COVID,” Byrne continued.




“The disorientation is this kookiness we’ve been seeing for about six months,” Byrne said, referring to Antifa, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other things, such as buildings and police stations being lit on fire, and people being harassed for their political views while out dining.

  • “That’s all to disorient you. It’s to tell you, ‘You are not living in the America you thought you were living in,’” he said.
  • “The crisis is, clearly an imposter president has been stood up,” Byrne added in reference to the contested election results.


He asserted that Beijing only needed to secure six counties to steal the election.

  • Political scientists can tell you, to steal the United States you don’t need to cheat in elections everywhere. You need six counties where you cheat the heck out of those counties. And you can flip the six states that they are in and thereby flip the Electoral College and steal the country.”

Byrne mentioned an election irregularity in Atlanta, Georgia, where a water main break was reported, and poll observers and media were told to leave. However, four people stayed and kept counting the ballots.

The water leak “was actually a urinal that had overflowed,” according to the chief investigator of the issue.

The last phase is normalization, Byrne said, in which the “media is just beating it into your head.”

  • “They’re violating every precept of journalistic integrity,” Byrne said, criticizing the media for ignoring the evidence that has been presented claiming election fraud.


Byrne pointed out that thousands of people risked their lives to testify in affidavits, telling of the fraud and irregularities they witnessed.

  • “So those are the four stages we’re going through, and it’s my assertion that the hand of China is behind this.”


Byrne made it clear that he loves Chinese people and Chinese history, but the Chinese regime “has proven to be as treacherous and ungrateful as anyone could have imagined.”

  • “What the Chinese did is they studied us, and they saw that corruption is our weakest point. And they infiltrated us, and they corrupted exactly institutions that they needed to corrupt in order to allow what’s going on now to happen.”
  • “In 10 years, there’ll be prison camps with organs being harvested just as there are in western China,” Byrne went on to say.
  • “So we cannot bend a knee to this under any circumstance.”


The Chinese regime has been killing Falun Gong practitioners for their organs for more than 20 years, according to a panel of experts who attended a virtual conference hosted by the advocacy group Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH) on Nov. 19, and independent investigations.

Talking about the upcoming Jan. 6 rally in Washington, Byrne said that “this is your last chance.”

  • “If you bend the knee to this rigged election, they have corrupted the most elementary concept of our tradition, consent of the governed, and you never will get another chance.”


Byrne studied the Constitution’s principles when he was young. He has a master’s degree from Cambridge University as a Marshall Scholar and received his doctorate in political philosophy from Stanford University. He indicated that the “core atomic concept” in the United States’ liberal tradition is the consent of the governed, which is determined by free, fair, and transparent elections.

  • “We do not bend the knee. This is what makes us different. And all over the world, there are people looking to us, hoping we show that we are the exceptional country. This is our chance.”

here's another little outrage. This is what I'm talking about when I say the Communists will commit a never-ending series of little outrages, always crossing more lines, and pushing the American people into corners until finally the American people snap. But by the time they snap, will it be too late? That's the serious question. But if we tolerate a stolen election and remain peaceful, then I am doubtful the American people will ever snap. They are accepting their new Communist overlords without a shot fired. It seems China has already won and has the perfect Chinese Communist sympathizers to act as regents in the US...the Democrat Communists. Jan 6th is the last stand. VP Pence has one last chance to try to save the American people. Otherwise, make your exit plans.

Proposed House Rules Eliminate Gendered Terms Like ‘Father’ And ‘Daughter’

The Rules Package for the 117th Congress includes a proposal to replace gendered language referring to a representative’s family members with gender-neutral terms, House leaders announced Friday.

Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Massachusetts Rep. James McGovern, chairman of the Rules Committee, announced changes to the House rules that will “honor all gender identities” by modifying the pronouns and familial relations references in the rules, the Committee on Rules announced.

The resolution would change “pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral or removes references to gender, as appropriate, to ensure we are inclusive of all Members, Delegates, Resident Commissioners and their families – including those who are nonbinary,” McGovern’s announcementsaid.

The new rules also change “seamen” to “seafarers,” “chairman” to “chair” and “submit his or her resignation” to “resigns,” according to the resolution. (RELATED Poll: Majority Of Voters Think Democrats Should Ditch Pelosi, Find New Leader)

References to fathers, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives and in-laws would be changed to “parent, child, sibling, spouse, or parent-in-law,” according to the resolution. Extended family members would be referred to as “child’s parent” instead of aunt or uncle, stepparents, and siblings-in-law.

“Thanks to the leadership of Chairman McGovern and our Members, Democrats have crafted a package of unprecedented, bold reforms, which will make the House more accountable, transparent and effective in our work to meet the needs of the American people,” Pelosi said in a statement.

The rules package will be voted on when the new Congress assembles and includes reforms to ethics, accountability and inclusion, according to the Committee on Rules.
