More than one million people gather at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing for the funeral of Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party and chairman of the People’s Republic of China since 1949.

Mao, who died on September 9, 1976, at the age of 82, was born on December 26, 1893, to a peasant family in the Hunan province of central China. Trained to be a teacher, he helped found the Chinese Communist Party in 1921. After they claimed victory in a civil war with the nationalist party following WWII, Mao founded the People’s Republic of China and became its leader.

During an eight-day mourning period after his death, more than 1 million people paid their respects, as Mao’s body, in a flag-draped coffin, lay in state. At the start of the 30-minute public funeral in Tiananmen Square, a three-minute moment of silence was observed in honor of the leader, with reports that nearly all of China’s 800 million residents stood in silent tribute.

The ceremony included music from an army band that played a funeral march, China’s national anthem, and the Communist “Internationale” and was televised live to the nation, which was a Chinese broadcast first. No foreign leaders were allowed to attend the service or the mourning period.



Hua Guofeng, China’s premier, and Communist party’s first vice chairman who served as Mao’s immediate successor delivered the eulogy.

“It was under Chairman Mao’s leadership that the disaster-plagued Chinese nation rose to its feet,” he said. “The Chinese people love, trust, and esteem Chairman Mao from the bottom of their hearts.”

  1. I agree about the Biden and Buckingham Palace “caryatids” and generally about mind control. Now the taste.
    The well-known banker named Rothschild translated means “Red flag” and it just so happens that the red flag is the symbol of Communism and Socialism. You Americans confuse the top leadership and at least a billion who were and still are there, Communists of whom you think all were and are colluding with the bankers. Not the dead for ideal. Then also about the summits there is something to be said, and ab ovo. You paint Lenin as a Zionist agent or of the bankers (Rothschilds) and prove it by the fact that the corridor to Russia was opened to him by the Germans. But you ignore that the October Revolution struggled to survive because the White army thwarted its establishment.
    You also ignore that financing the Whites was the U.S. and England. And if you put into account that in England the first Private National Bank was founded (Masonic and replicated in your Federal Bank and everywhere else) and the first Masonic Lodge do you or do you not understand the paradox?
    That is, if Lenin was financed by the Banks to bring down the Kzar how come the Banks then supported the Whites and not Lenin’s Red Flags?
    This applies to Stalin and peasant Mao.

  2. The State tells you what your rights are In a society where there’s no belief in rights given by God.
    The World State is demanding total obedience and implementing a depopulation programme whereby compliance is ‘wellness’ and noncompliance is ‘illness’, terms defined by those with the power to classify themselves as ‘real doctors’ and ‘real politicians’.

    Control of the vocabulary deprives the victims the means to articulate their victimization.

    If a group is so powerful it can describe itself as ‘Special’ and get away with it, ‘everyone else’ then becomes objects classified by them and thus subordinate to them. Classification serves the interests of the classifiers.
    Very Important Persons.
    Very Unimportant Persons.
    There then follows a Ritual Persecution of the subordinates, supported by a legal structure of Criminal Law categories that are ideological reflections of the interests of particular powerful groups.
    Degradation, dehumanization, instrumentalization, humiliation, and nonrecognition are methods used to violate the dignity of their subjects and undermine their sovereignty.

  3. Yeah millions in Russia still love Stalin. Millions more still love that deceased lizard of Buckingham and here in America there’s a few million maybe 40% who think Joe Biden’s great. No accounting for taste🤣
