For the records, here is a NED official tweet mentioning they have been "funding Uyghur groups" since 2004:

Here is a video someone posted below the tweet -- of a guy discussing this shift in narrative (using this article, specifically). He makes the case that the *actual* cultural genocide occurred/was occurring when Salafism was injected into the region and supported by outside actors in the Western axis. I think the video is pretty good, and, among other things, he shows that NGO internal memos refer to the "concentration camps" as 'vocational centers' -> https://youtu.be/78s7yP2BdF0?t=0

Here is Lawrence Wilkerson spilling the beans also -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrufheMU-WQ&t=0s

    I mean, we managed to pivot on a dime from "Muslim Bad! Law Enforcement Good!" to "China Bad! Muslim Good!" That's not even mentioning how easily the entire 20 year occupation of Afghanistan swirled away down the memory hole.

    I just don't know how invested the US Media is going to be in sustaining the narrative now that operations for escalation have dried up. In another six months, how many people will be able to point to Afghanistan on a map?

    This is just like the #SOSCUBA shit. It was a thing for a few weeks and then it didn't work and so now its not a thing anymore and nobody cares. The American mind isn't going to give a shit about any of this atm, because we're facing down a giant Treats Shortage. So its time to talk about that, instead.
