Ridiculousness of US propaganda has no limit — today, it's about too much Chinese poop in the South China Sea

I live in a genuinely absurd country

 

If we would occasionally listen to ourselves, we would all be embarrassed.

 

 

Consider, for instance, this latest from the US Propaganda Machine

 

The following is the newest twist on the USA-sponsored battle over who should 'hegemonate' (to create a verb) the South China Sea:

 

 

Chinese ships have dumped so much poop in the South China Sea, you can see it from space.

 

Raw sewage discharged from more than 200 Chinese fishing vessels around the contested Spratly Islands in the South China Sea is causing extensive damage to coral reefs, Simularity, a US satellite imagery analysis firm, said Monday.

 

"The sewage from the anchored ships in the Spratlys is damaging the reefs, and we can see this from space," Simularity founder and CEO Liz Derr said during a digital forum hosted by the Manila think tank Stratbase ADR Institute.

 

"The hundreds of ships that are anchored there are dumping raw sewage, every day onto the reefs they are occupying," said Derr during the presentation, adding "when the ships don't move, the poop piles up."

 

The satellite images taken over five years — between May 14, 2016 and June 17, 2021— show a stark contrast in alga growth. Researchers found that 236 Chinese vessels were recorded motionless In the waters during that time period.

 

Excess sewage encourages the growth of phytoplankton in the water, which can cause oxygen shortages. Without adequate oxygen supply in the water, coral reefs habitats can die.

 

"These bacteria consume oxygen that would normally be available to the fish, creating a 'dead zone,'" Simularity said in its report.

 

Coral reefs take up to 10,000 years to form, and barrier reefs and atolls take between 100,000 and 30 million years to fully form.

Yes kids . . .

 

. . . the Chinese Communist Party is plotting the bury the planet in the PRC's poo. And wreck Earth's coral reefs.

 

That reef side-effect, evidently, occurring just out of jealous commie spite.

 

We always knew that they were bad guys. 'Kill the corals' is their mantra.

 

 

This horrendous Sino latrine behavior means that . . .

 

. . . we 'Muhrikans should start yet another war to keep our democracy safe.

 

A global war on Poop Terror and all that. Where is Bush II, when we so badly need him?

 

The US should start importing non-Chinese poo into the South China Sea.

 

We could measure the area of the resulting islands — constructed of floatable squat product and layers of algae — to see who can really lay claim to owning that Sea.

 

Let the Poo War begin!

 

 

The moral? — Do American prattle-dopes ever listen to themselves?

 

For their own pseudo-dignity, American propagandists need to focus on something else.
