Christian Uyghur Describes Genocide In China, ‘There Is No Hope For Us’
“When I came to America, I could see that this is human. They, as a people, are living as a human. But in China, no. That’s different. You’re living in a cage…like animals.”
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese Uyghur people in the Xinjiang region are being actively persecuted, oppressed, and sent to concentration camps for “re-education” where they are tortured, abused, indoctrinated, and killed. In an exclusive interview with National File, Chinese Uyghur Mamatili Yakuf tells his story, where he describes a dark, dystopian, authoritarian China.
Yakuf was born and raised in Xinjiang, China by a family of coal miners. He grew up with his mother, father, two sisters and one brother. Yakuf fled Communist China in 2016, after years of mistreatment, abuse, and neglect by his government for being a member of the Uyghur ethnic minority. His friends tell him that it was a “miracle” that he made it out safely, before it was too late, that he would be dead if he hadn’t.
In China, Yakuf grew up Muslim, but converted to Christianity nearly 20 years ago after meeting a Christian Uyghur who became his good friend. After reading the Bible for two years, Yakuf converted and accepted Christ. Yakuf noted that the Chinese government takes a particular disliking to Christian Uyghurs “because we are open minded,” and that the CCP wants “Uyghurs to stay Muslim” because they view it as “a good reason to control them” by calling them terrorists. Yakuf highlighted an ideological divide between the Uyghur Christians and Uyghur Muslims exacerbated by the communists. “For me it’s like two pressures. One is from our people and one is from the government.”
However, his religious conversion made little difference to the CCP. According to Yakuf, all Uyghurs, Christians and Muslims alike, face oppression at the hands of the government. “They don’t care about what religion you have. The government wants to reduce numbers.”
“I went to many big cities in the past,” explained Yakuf. “If you go to any hotel, they check us a lot. They check on why you’re here. They look down on us as a terrorist, any Uyghurs. If you are a good Chinese, good worker, rich or poor, if you go to any place like Shanghai or Beijing, or any city, you go to any hotel, they check because you have [identification] numbers. We have numbers like 65, says you’re from Xinjiang. And it ultimately goes to the police station where they see we are Uyghurs…They see our identity and they say no, because we are Uyghurs,” Yakuf said.
“We understood China very well, you know. So, there is no hope for us. There is no hope,” said Yakuf, when asked why he decided to flee his home country and seek a better life in the United States. “When I came to America, I could see that this is human. They, as a people, are living as a human. But in China, no. That’s different. You’re living in a cage…like animals.”
He explained that the Chinese government utilizes a type of quota system used for filling the Uyghur concentration camps, and that the governor is involved to ensure the capacity numbers are satisfactory in the eyes of the CCP. Chen Quanguo is currently the Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and has built up a reputation for his draconian measures overseeing the ongoing human rights abuses in the region.
The Chinese government asserts that their crackdown on the Uighur population provides “vocational education and training” for individuals in an effort to combat poverty and Islamic terrorism, but they have been widely condemned for placing hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs in facilities that resemble concentration camps, where horrible atrocities have been reported.
“Testimony in a new BBC report add new and shocking details as to the extent of the torture human beings suffered in the camps. A particularly grisly claim is that Chinese Communist guards use electric batons to rape women, electrocuting them from the inside.
One of the survivors interviewed by the BBC, Tursunay Ziawudun, said she endured nine months in a Xinjiang concentration camp and was subjected to torture and gang-rape on almost a daily basis.”
When asked if COVID-19 had any impact on the Chinese government treatment of the Uyghur population, Yakuf said things have only gotten worse. He explained that the government is using the virus to experiment on Uyghurs and reduce the population under the guise of the pandemic. “COVID-19 is good for the Chinese government to test people and create medicine. I think they use Uyghurs as animals. Also, this is a good time for the government to reduce numbers. They can kill thousands and thousands of people and say to the world, this is COVID,” said Yakuf.
Yakuf believes the virus was scientifically engineered in a lab by the Chinese government. “We say that COVID-19 is a virus that came from a lab. We can say that, we understand trusting the Chinese government. They created the virus from a lab because they have many ways to walk. They burnt themselves first, then this fire goes to others, then the virus is gone. If at first you get this virus, then you give it to other countries. If a million people died in China, that’s nothing. They don’t care about their people.”
“We say the CCP is a liar. That’s the only thing I can say. The truth doesn’t come from the CCP. They are liars,” said Yakuf, who expressed great frustration with his government’s decision to oppress his people, who had lived in China long before the rise of communism.
When discussing the international community, governments, and corporations who have strong partnerships with China, Yakuf said “They have two things. One thing is money, the second is girls. They give you money, if you’re not interested in money, they give you girls. Beautiful girls, you cannot say no.” He went on to describe a system rife with strategic corruption, blackmail, extortion, and bribery. “China’s government has more money. Richest government in the world,” explained Yakuf.
Joe Biden recently said he won’t speak out against the Uyghur genocide, citing China’s “cultural norms,” as National File reported. But when we asked Mr. Yakuf about the US government’s past and current approach to Communist China, Yakuf noted that he appreciated the actions taken by President Donald Trump, and remains hopeful that the Biden administration will “care more about Uyghurs” going forward.
“I love Trump because Trump was against China. He was very, very serious against them so we love Trump in this way. Because even Trump doesn’t like immigration, and that’s okay for us, but he understood China very well I think. So he’s against China, Trump understood better than anyone else I think. Biden, our President is good, working better, but I don’t know what’s next. But then I hope that Biden will care more about Uyghurs and immigration in the United States because our status is asylum pending. So we don’t have proof yet, so we cannot speak out,” said Yakuf.

The CEO Of Blackstone Is Warning That “A Real Shortage Of Energy” Will Cause Social Unrest All Over The Planet
And as energy prices escalate, that will push all prices throughout our economic system higher and higher and higher.
We are facing an unprecedented global energy crunch. Demand for energy is continually rising, and the production of energy is not keeping pace. One of the biggest reasons for this is that large financial institutions have become extremely hesitant to fund any new energy projects that will add more carbon emissions to the environment. Instead, they want to fund projects that will help us transition to the new “green economy”, but meanwhile we are getting to a point where we will soon see widespread shortages of traditional forms of energy. So now we all get to suffer. A lack of oil is pushing the price of gasoline to alarming heights, shortages of natural gas are already causing tremendous disruptions in Asia and Europe, we are being told that we are facing a propane “armageddon” this winter, and supplies of coal have dropped to dangerously low levels around the world.
In other words, we are potentially heading into the most painful global energy crisis in modern history.
When CNN asked Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman about this, he openly admitted that we are “going to end up with a real shortage of energy”…
Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman warned Tuesday that high energy prices will likely set off social unrest around the world.
“We’re going to end up with a real shortage of energy. And when you have a shortage, it’s going to cost more. And it’s probably going to cost a lot more,” the private-equity billionaire told CNN International’s Richard Quest at a conference in Saudi Arabia.
When the power goes out, people are not going to be happy.
And people are really not going to be happy if it goes out for an extended period of time.
According to Schwarzman, we will soon see “very unhappy people” all over the globe…
“You’re going to get very unhappy people around the world in the emerging markets in particular but in the developed world,” Schwarzman said at the Future Investment Initiative. “What happens then, Richard, is you’ve got real unrest. This challenges the political system and it’s all utterly unnecessary.”
Sadly, he is right that this global energy crisis did not have to happen.
If the global elite had continued to fund traditional energy projects at the pace that was needed, we could have avoided this nightmare to a very large degree.
But traditional forms of energy are now being shunned, and billions of people will suffer as a result.
Meanwhile, prices throughout our economic system continue to rise at a very alarming pace. Just check out what has been happening to the price of turkey…
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, for example, released data recently showing the average wholesale price of Grade A frozen 8- to 16-pound turkey has spiked by 21.91% since last year. That means what cost $1.15 per pound a year ago will now ring at at $1.41. And just for context, the same would have cost 96 cents in 2019 and 84 cents in 2018.
If math isn’t your thing, that’s a 68% wholesale price increase in just two years.
Overall, we are being told that this upcoming Thanksgiving will be the most expensive Thanksgiving that any of us have ever experienced…
Matthew McClure paid 20% more this month than he did last year for the 25 pasture-raised turkeys he plans to roast at the Hive, the Bentonville, Arkansas, restaurant where he is the executive chef. And Norman Brown, director of sweet-potato sales for Wada Farms in Raleigh, North Carolina, is paying truckers nearly twice as much as usual to haul the crop to other parts of the country.
“I never seen anything like it, and I’ve been running sweet potatoes for 38 or 39 years,” Brown said. “I don’t know what the answer is, but in the end it’s all going to get passed on to the consumer.”
Unfortunately, more price hikes are on the horizon.
In fact, Kimberly-Clark is opening warning that they are going to be boosting prices even higher…
Prices of toilet paper, diapers, facial tissues and paper towels will likely rise in coming weeks as Irving-based consumer giant Kimberly-Clark warned Monday that inflation and supply chain concerns aren’t “likely to be resolved quickly.”
So I would stock up on paper products while you still can.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, inflation is eventually going to get far worse than what we witnessed during the 1970s.
At this point, even many top Democrats are warning that high inflation is with us to stay. Here is one recent example…
Former President Barack Obama’s chief of global development on Tuesday predicted inflation was here to stay, despite the Biden administration’s protestations to the contrary.
Prices “will go higher, and the Fed has misread the inflation dynamics in a big way,” former Global Development Council Chairman Mohamed El Erian said in an afternoon interview with Fox News’ Sandra Smith, adding that the Federal Reserve was “still hostage to this notion that it’s transitory.”
And the shortages that we are currently experiencing are ultimately going to get worse too.
Right now, we are already facing the worst shortage of alcoholic beverages since the 1930s. When asked about his empty shelves by a reporter, one gas station owner said that he has “never seen anything like this”…
Supply chain issues are impacting the alcohol supply in the U.S., and it’s making alcohol more expensive and difficult for bars and liquor stores to get.
“I have so many empty shelves. In the two years of doing this, I’ve never seen anything like this,” gas station chain owner Ali Ali said.
As I discussed yesterday, now Biden wants to take countless more truck drivers off the road, and that will make our supply chain headaches a whole lot worse.
And as energy prices escalate, that will push all prices throughout our economic system higher and higher and higher.
Yes, all of this is really happening.
This is not a drill.
We are in the early chapters of a full-blown economic meltdown of epic proportions, and nothing will ever be the same after this.
If you want to keep waiting for conditions to “return to normal”, you are going to be waiting for a really, really long time.
We have entered a truly horrible nightmare, and there will be no waking up from this.

From Reuters, “LGBT+ campaigners in Georgia call off pride match after office attack”:
LGBT+ campaigners in Georgia called off plans to stage a pride march on Monday after violent groups opposed to the event stormed and ransacked their office in the capital Tbilisi and targeted activists and journalists.
Activists launched five days of LGBT+ Pride celebrations last Thursday and had planned a “March for Dignity” on Monday in central Tbilisi, shrugging off criticism from the church and conservatives who said the event had no place in Georgia.
[…] Video footage posted by LGBT+ activists showed their opponents scaling their building to reach their balcony where they tore down rainbow flags and were seen entering the office of Tbilisi Pride.
[…] Campaigners said some of their equipment had been broken in the attack and that they had been forced to cancel.
Will Biden target them with drone strikes in order to spread “our values?”

Pfizer vaccine losing effectiveness amid Delta variant surge, Israeli Health Ministry says as it mulls 3rd shot & new restrictions
In addition to booster shots, health officials are also mulling whether to revive some pandemic restrictions.
Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine has dropped to 64% effectiveness in preventing infection amid the spread of the Delta variant in Israel, the Health Ministry said, as officials consider the need for booster shots and new restrictions.
The vaccine fell to 64% effectiveness in preventing symptomatic infection over the last month, the Health Ministry reported on Monday, noting that the decrease coincided with the rapid spread of the more contagious Delta variant across Israel. However, health officials said the Pfizer shot still offers strong protection against severe illness and hospitalization, reporting 93% efficacy.
While the ministry did not give the previous figures in its statement, a report published in May said the Pfizer vaccine was 97% effective against severe illness after two doses. In March, private Israeli researchers also found the immunization to be 91.2% effective against any level of symptomatic infection.
The new data comes amid a small surge across Israel, where the number of active cases hit 2,766 on Monday after 369 new infections, with the Delta variant believed to make up more than 90% of the overall total. As of July 4, around 70 patients were hospitalized, half of them in serious condition, compared to 21 with severe illness on June 19.
The fast spread of the Delta variant, which was first observed in India, has prompted Health Minister Nitzan Horowtiz to order two medical studies looking at the need for a third vaccine dose, saying they would provide “vital information” to policymakers. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office added that the studies will “evaluate the efficacy of the vaccine and the rate at which it wears off over time.”
While nearly 60% of Israel’s population of 9.3 million have received at least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine – helping to bring daily infections down from their peak of around 10,000 in January – cases are still cropping up among the immunized. Last Friday, more than half of the new infections reported were in patients that had been vaccinated, according to Ynet, underscoring the need for further study.
In addition to booster shots, health officials are also mulling whether to revive some pandemic restrictions, most of which were lifted in March, as well as bringing back some version of its coronavirus ‘passport’ system, the Jerusalem Post reported. An indoor mask mandate had previously been dropped, but was brought back in late June as daily cases began to accelerate.
Foreign travelers could also face additional testing and quarantine protocols in the coming weeks, though the Health Ministry has yet to make a decision.
