A Great United States Boycott by Jacob G. Hornberger!

I never thought I would find myself saying this but President Biden has just instituted a great boycott. It is against China, which United States officials have been trying their best to reconvert into a Cold War enemy, opponent, rival, or adversary.

What is so good about this boycott?? It purports to punish China by prohibiting United States government officials from attending the Winter Olympics in China.

That is a punishment??

Are you kidding??

What greater thing could befall China than to have United States government officials prohibited from traveling there??

Just think - the Chinese will not have to put up with the pompous, imperialist, and hypocritical attitudes that characterize United States government officials.

Mind you, President Biden is not prohibiting United States athletes from competing in the Winter Games. That is what some presidents have done in the past to punish foreign regimes for not kowtowing to the demands of United States officials.

President Biden deserves credit for leaving United States of American athletes out of the political and economic war that United States officials have instituted against China.

I wonder if President Biden would consider extending his boycott to United States of American cities and states. Would it not be nice never to have to encounter a United States government official??

President Bidens boycott is intended to send a message to Chinese leaders that the United States government disapproves of their human-rights abuses.

But maybe it would be constructive for President Biden to end his own human-rights abuses before lecturing China about its human-rights abuses.

In that way, China might be more willing to listen to Joe Bidens human-rights lectures. Given Joe Bidens ongoing commitment to human-rights abuses at the hands of United States officials, it stands to reason that China is not going to pay much attention to his lecturing or, for that matter, his silly boycott.

Let us review some of the human-rights abuses to which Biden is committed.

Let us start with human-rights abuses at the Pentagon-Central Intelligence Agency torture and prison center in Cuba:

1. Indefinite detention without trial.

2. Denial of due process of law.

3. Denial of trial by jury.

4. Denial of speedy trial.

5. Torture.

6. The use of confessions acquired by torture.

7. The use of evidence acquired by torture.

6. Trial by kangaroo military tribunal.

Let us go to the United States governments human-rights abuses elsewhere:

1. State-sponsored assassinations.

2. Torture.

3. Coups.

4. Support of brutal pro-United States dictatorships.

5. Stealing of money from innocent people under the rubric of civil-asset forfeiture.

6. Jailing of people for ingesting unapproved substances.

7. No-knock drug raids.

8. Incarcerating and deporting people who come to the United States to better their lives.

9. Domestic highway checkpoints demanding to see peoples papers.

10. Warrantless searches of farms and ranches along the United States-Mexico border.

11. Economic sanctions, which target innocent people with death and impoverishment in order to achieve political goals.

12. Mass secret surveillance.

13. Persecution and prosecution of people who disclose the truth about Pentagon-Central Intelligence Agency-National Security Agency dark-side activities.

President Biden and other United States government officials need to keep in mind that when they point an accusatory finger at the Chinese for human-rights abuses, there are three more fingers pointing back at themselves.

Since United States government officials will not be permitted to attend the Winter Olympics, that should enable them to devote more time to ending their own human-rights abuses, both here at home and abroad. What better way to lead than by example??
