Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t listen to Dr. Zev Zelenko about Covid-19. Don’t be a Cuomo. Dr. Zelenko’s new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals come highly recommended by many doctors.
As China continues its economic assault on the U.S. and engages in aggressive actions in the South China Sea, Liberty Nation has kept its readership apprised of the threat China represents. We learn from The Wall Street Journal, in an article by Alex Leary and Bob Davis, that President Biden’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan and Secretary of State Antony Blinken are going to meet with “their Chinese counterparts, Yang Jiechi a member of the Politburo, the Communist Party’s top decision-making body, and Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister.”
Article by Dave Patterson from Liberty Nation.
The meeting is to be held in Anchorage, Alaska, and scheduled for March 18 and 19. The idea is that both teams will have time to get positions lined up that span several prickly issues. China historically engages in bilateral discussion with well-established CCP positions. For Beijing, these opportunities are not seen as friendly chats.
The Experience Gap
Secretary Blinken will have been in the job 51 days when he sits down with his opposite Wang Yi who has been China’s Foreign Minister for eight years, dealing with now the third U.S. administration. Jake Sullivan has six days on Secretary Blinken since he came on board when President Biden was inaugurated.
Sitting across the table from Sullivan will be Yang Jiechi, who has been director of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission of the CCP for eight years as well. To suggest there may be an experience mismatch may be an understatement. For the U.S., a better grasp of the issues would be more likely in nine months to a year – with the Biden administration having more experience working with allies and friends in the Pacific.
Again, from The Wall Street Journal, Blinken told the House Foreign Affairs Committee recently that the U.S. team wants to cover “Beijing’s actions and behaviors that are challenging the security, the prosperity and the values of the United States.” He also listed other topics, including the “COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and issues of disagreement, including China’s stance on Hong Kong and pressure on Taiwan, and the ‘undeclared economic embargoes’ China has placed on Australia.”
Lowering Expectations
In a Politico article, Ben Leonard quotes Blinken’s comments to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in what may be an attempt to lower expectations for the meeting. Blinken explained:
“This is not a strategic dialogue. There’s no intent at this point for a series of follow-on engagements. Those engagements, if they are to follow, really have to be based on the proposition that we’re seeing tangible progress and tangible outcomes on the issues of concern to us with China.”
Much of the rub between the U.S. and China involves national defense issues like Freedom of Navigation Operation to establish free passage in the South China Sea. The consequences of military miscalculation leading to a military clash will make climate change pale in comparison.

Speaking to that point, Jim Garamone, reporting from the Pentagon in DOD News, said: “Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, Navy Admiral Philip Davidson told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the greatest danger facing the U.S. is the erosion of conventional deterrence capabilities and that his “primary worry is the Peoples Republic of China.” The Combatant Commander went on to explain:
“In stark contrast to our free and open vision, the Communist Party of China promotes a closed and an authoritarian system through internal oppression and external aggression. China’s pernicious approach to the region includes a whole-of-party effort to coerce, corrupt and collapse governments, businesses, organizations and the people of the Indo-Pacific.”
The Biden foreign policy team should be less in a hurry to sit down with the Chinese. Having more experience under its belt, the U.S. team could have a more “strategic” and comprehensive discussion. There are many more subjects that would benefit from a dialogue with Beijing’s leadership. Fruitful talks are needed to reduce China’s threat of holding back shipments of rare earth metals and microelectronics required by the United States defense industrial base and domestic high-tech products.
Furthermore, China’s operations in the Arctic are of concern. As Yun Sun in The Arctic Institute Report gives this caution: “China has claimed benevolent intentions in peace, development, and improving Arctic governance. However, given the opaqueness of China’s decision-making and capability development, many American policymakers and observers, if not most, remain skeptical or even hostile toward China’s potential in the Arctic.”
A Reuters article recapping President Biden’s first telephone call to China’s leader Xi Jinping said Biden relayed that he and his counterpart appeared to be at odds on every major subject. Biden spoke candidly on China’s worldwide activities; he warned: “if we don’t get moving, they are going to eat our lunch.” On that note, let’s hope that wrapping up the discussions next week, Secretary Blinken doesn’t hand Wang Yi the soup and sandwich menu.

Most “Conservative” News Outlets Are on the Big Tech Teat
Not long ago, conservative media was not beholden to anyone. Today, most sites are stuck on the Big Tech gravy train.
I’ll keep this short. The rise of Pandemic Panic Theater, massive voter fraud, and other “taboo” topics have neutered a majority of conservative news sites. You’ll notice they are very careful about what topics they tackle. Sure, they’ll attack Critical Race Theory, Antifa, and the Biden-Harris regime, but you won’t see them going after George Soros, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, or the Deep State, among others.
The reason is simple. They are beholden to Big Tech, and Big Tech doesn’t allow certain topics to be discussed or they’ll cut you off. Far too many conservative news outlets rely on Google, Facebook, and Twitter for the bulk of their traffic. They depend on big checks from Google ads to keep the sites running. I don’t necessarily hold it against them. We all do what we need to do to survive. I just wish more would do like we have, which is to cut out Big Tech altogether.
We don’t get Google checks. We don’t have Facebook or Twitter buttons on our stories. We don’t have a YouTube Channel (banned), an Instagram profile (never made one), or a TikTok (no thanks, CCP). We’re not perfect, but we’re doing everything we can to not owe anything to anyone… other than our readers. We owe YOU the truth. We owe YOU the facts that others won’t reveal about topics that others won’t tackle. And we owe America, this great land that allows us to take hold of these opportunities.
Like I said, I don’t hold other conservative sites under too much scrutiny over their choices. It’s easy for people to point fingers when we’re not the ones paying their bills or supporting their families. I just wish there were more who would make the bold move. Today, only a handful of other major conservative news outlets have broken free from the Big Tech teat. Of course, we need help.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
We are also building partnerships with great conservative sites like The Liberty Daily and The Epoch Times to advance the message as loudly as possible, and we’re always looking for others with which to partner.
Some of our content is spread across multiple sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
While donations are the best way to help, you can also support us by buying through our sponsors:
- MyPillow: Use promo code “NOQ” to get up to 66% off AND you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- ZStack: Improve your immune system with the Z-Stack protocol or rejuvenate your body from vaccines or shedding with Z-DTox by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
- OurGoldGuy: Tell them JD sent you in your request to buy gold and it will help us… AND (wait for it) you’ll be helping a patriotic, America First company.
- MyPatriotSupply: Stock up on long-term food, survival gear, and other things that you’ll need just in case things don’t recover and we keep heading towards apocalypse.
We know we could make a lot more money if we sold out like so many “conservative” publications out there. You won’t find Google ads on our site for a reason. Yes, they’re lucrative, but I don’t like getting paid by minions of Satan (I don’t like Google very much if you couldn’t tell).
Time is short. As the world spirals towards The Great Reset, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,
