War Without Rules: China's Playbook for Global Domination by Robert Spalding | Goodreads
Published April 19, 2022
In its fight for global dominance, Communist China has thrown out the old rules of war. China expert General Robert Spalding walks us through their new playbook.
Many Americans are finally waking up to the alarming reality of China's stealth war on the United States and puzzling over how to push back against its insidious infiltration. What few realize is that we have one real advantage in this the Chinese Communist Party strategy for total war has been written out in Unrestricted Warfare, the Chinese book, well known there, that has become their new Art of War.
In War Without Rules, retired Air Force Brigadier General Rob Spalding takes Americans inside Unrestricted Warfare. He walks readers through the principles of this book, revealing the Chinese belief that there is no sector of life outside the realm of war. He shows how the CCP itself has promised to use corporate espionage, global pandemics, and trade violations to achieve dominance. Most importantly, he provides insight into how, once Americans are aware of the tactics, we can fight back against CCP’s creeping influence.
More than a vital read for those interested in China, War Without Rules is essential reading for anyone—from policymakers and diplomats to businessmen and investors—finally waking up to the stealth war. Knowledge is power, and it’s time to arm yourself.

Robert Pickton Pig Farm Murders Stephen Harper Gordon Campbell (bitchute.com)
"CBC News reported that Pickton, who was a former multi-millionaire, is suspected in dozens of other murders, but a further 20 murder charges were stayed.
Pickton and his brother, David, operated a drinking club frequented by bikers and prostitutes near their pig farm outside Vancouver, Canada.
At the time of his arrest on February 22, 2002, he was charged with first-degree murder in connection with two of the more than 50 women who had disappeared from the Vancouver area starting in the 1980s.
David Pickton has denied knowledge of his brother's crimes. "

Pickton book pulled from Amazon's shelves - Tri-City News (tricitynews.com)
Serial killer Robert Pickton's book removed from Amazon amid outrage | Daily Mail Online
"Serial killer Robert Pickton's memoir had a brief shelf life on Amazon's site but quickly gained widespread condemnation.
The 144-page book Pickton: In His Own Words was reportedly written by the man who is serving a life sentence for murdering six women on his Port Coquitlam pig farm between 1997 and 2001. He was initially charged in 2007 with killing 26 women from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and confessed to an undercover police officer that he had murdered 49 women, but close to 70 were reported missing.
He is said to have passed the handwritten book to a former cellmate, who gave it to a friend — a retired construction worker living in California named Michael Chilldres — who had the book typed up and published, and whose name appears on the cover.
By Monday afternoon the book had been pulled from Amazon.ca's shelves, but The Tri-City News had not received official confirmation from the online retailer that it would remain so, or what specific policies led to that decision. The book was published by Outskirts Press in late January.
"It is deeply disturbing to hear that a book about Robert Pickton's story is being sold," said B.C.'s solicitor general Mike Morris in a statement. "It is not right that a person who has caused so much harm and hurt so many people could profit from his behaviour."
Speaking to media before question period Monday afternoon, Morris said he is in contact with Corrections Canada to determine how Pickton was able to smuggle the manuscript out of prison, adding he'd be looking to see how B.C.'s proceeds of crime legislation could apply to this case.
"There's no way, as long as I'm [Solicitor General], that anybody is going to make a nickel off Robert Pickton's file," Morris said. It's unclear, however, how B.C. legislation would apply in the U.S.
A petition at Change.org urging Amazon to stop selling the book had about 9,000 supporters on Monday morning; that quickly spiked to nearly 41,000 by early afternoon.
"In honour of all the families who were affected by the horrible crimes of this predator, who were denied agency in his 'trial' and how are still going through their healing process, Amazon needs to refuse to sell Pickton: In His Own Words on its website," the petition reads.
The book is said to include Biblical passages and claims Pickton's innocence in the crimes.

"Robert Pickton watched Corporal Dana Lillies closely yesterday as she told the jury in his first-degree-murder trial about discussions she had with his sister.
Mr. Pickton also glanced regularly at Staff Sergeant Bill Fordy earlier yesterday as the officer told the court about interrogating Mr. Pickton on the day after his arrest.
After two weeks of testimony at his trial, Mr. Pickton was no longer keeping his eyes down at all times.
Appearing more relaxed than in the opening days of the trial, he occasionally stole a glance at the 12 men and women in the jury box who will decide his fate. He listened to testimony and passed notes to his lawyer.
He looked directly at witnesses as they testified.
Cpl. Lillies of the RCMP was one of three police officers to question Mr. Pickton during an 11-hour interrogation on Feb. 23, 2002, the day after he was arrested for murder. At that time, Cpl. Lillies was a constable.
Mr. Pickton made incriminating remarks in the final portion of the interrogation and tried to negotiate a deal with police, offering to plead guilty to two or more murders if police immediately stopped their intensive search of the family's property in Port Coquitlam. The police refused to negotiate with him.
A videotape of the interrogation was played for the jury last week.
Cpl. Lillies told the court yesterday that she met with Mr. Pickton's sister Linda before the interrogation.
She did not say the sister's last name.
Linda told the officer that her brother David was protective of Robert and dominated him. David tells Robert what time to go to bed, Cpl. Lillies recalled Linda saying.
Robert's sister described him as slow, but then went on to say he was not slow, Cpl. Lillies said, and that Robert has mechanical ability and David handles the business.
Cpl. Lillies said she was told Robert "was good at what he does" at the farm.
Cpl. Lillies also recalled Linda saying that Robert quit school at 16 to focus on farming. "[Linda]said he did not do well academically," Cpl. Lillies told the court.
Mr. Pickton sat in the prisoner's box with a transcript of the interrogation on his lap. He looked at the transcript for periods of time while Cpl. Lillies was in the witness box.
But he looked back at her when she told the court about continuing the interrogation even after he asked to return to his cell.
"As long as his human needs are met, we [the police]are the ones who determine where he is situated in the building," the officer said.
Mr. Pickton had been fed, did not need to go to the washroom and did not appear to be falling asleep, she said. "We as police have an obligation to investigate crime and interview the accused," she added.
In response to questioning by defence lawyer Peter Ritchie, Cpl. Lillies said Mr. Pickton told her during the interrogation that he had not eaten. But she asked whether he was hungry and he told her that he was not, she told the court.
Cpl. Lillies recalled that she did not think at that time that he appeared tired. She also did not have any recollection of him yawning.
Earlier, Staff Sgt. Fordy told the court that Mr. Pickton had the right to remain silent during an attempt by police to interrogate him.
"But he does not have the right to go anywhere in the police station," he said.
About 3½hours into the interrogation, Staff Sgt. Fordy accused Mr. Pickton of killing a woman described as a "French girl" who stayed in a van behind the Cobalt Hotel. She was identified in court yesterday as Monique Wood. The hotel is on Main Street, on the edge of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Mr. Pickton can be heard on the videotape adamantly denying killing her, saying he dropped her off at a bus station. Staff Sgt. Fordy insisted she was dead and persisted in pressing him for a confession.
Mr. Pickton continued in his denials. As the exchange heated up, Mr. Pickton said he wanted to go back to his cell. Staff Sgt. Fordy told him that was not going to happen.
The interrogation was interrupted. Staff Sgt. Fordy stepped out of the interview room. He came back minutes later and apologized for mixing up the "French girl" with Sereena Abotsway, a woman that Mr. Pickton was charged with killing.
"I came back and apologized to him," Staff Sgt. Fordy said as Mr. Pickton peered up from his transcript to watch the officer as he testified.
Mr. Pickton can also be heard during the videotaped interview asking to return to his cell when Staff Sgt. Fordy suggested that his brother David could also be "taken down."
Similar to previous instances when Mr. Pickton asked to be allowed to go back to his cell, the police ignored the request and continued the interview.
The officer can be heard suggesting to Mr. Pickton that he should think about who he was prepared to take down with him. "Am I prepared to take down Dave?" Staff Sgt. Fordy said.
"What's Dave got to do with it?" Mr. Pickton replied.
"He's got the same last name as you do," Staff Sgt. Fordy said.
In court yesterday, Mr. Ritchie said that suggesting Mr. Pickton's brother was implicated because he had the same last name was "something you try on a complete idiot."
Staff Sgt. Fordy told the court he was referring to the damage caused by Mr. Pickton to the reputation of the family business.
Staff Sgt. Fordy told Mr. Pickton it was his duty to continue to talk to him, "and that is what I'm going to do."
Mr. Ritchie asked in court whether it was Staff Sgt. Fordy's duty to hold someone in a room against their will for 12 hours. "My duty is to investigate and solve the crime," Staff Sgt. Fordy said."

In the book, the serial killer said he was innocent and was framed for the killings by Canadian police, the Vancouver Sun reported.
 | Friday, 8 February, 2002, 07:29 GMT Pig farm searched for missing women  Police say the search could take several weeks By Janet Williams in Vancouver Police from Vancouver, British Columbia, are searching a pig farm as part of an investigation into the disappearance of at least 50 women over the last 20 years.
The officers are searching the farm near Port Coquitlam, about 35 kilometres (22 miles) from the city, after going there to investigate an alleged firearms offence. One of the owners of the farm has been arrested. The police say the new search is a major development in the case of the missing women, who worked in the sex trade in Vancouver. Major operation More than 30 police officers spent all day Thursday at the waterlogged, ramshackle farm, fencing off a large section of the site. They have set up a mobile command centre and say the search of the farm, which covers 11 hectares (27 acres) could take days, if not weeks. A police spokeswoman confirmed that the search is linked to the disappearance of more than 50 women who worked mainly in the sex-trade on the east side of Vancouver, one of Canada's poorest areas. She said that the Missing Women Task Force, formed to investigate the disappearances, had spent months reviewing old files. This had sparked interest in the farm. Firearms Members of the task force accompanied Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who visited the premises on Tuesday night with a warrant to search for an illegal firearm. One of the farm's owners was arrested on firearms charges, but released pending a court appearance later this month. The Missing Women Task Force then gained their own search warrant, returning to the farm the next day. Late last year a team of Canadian officers travelled to Seattle, over the border in the United States, to talk to police investigating the killing there of at least 45 women - dating back to 1982. The Seattle police have recently charged a man, Gary Leon Ridgway, with four of those murders. However, the Canadian police have found no evidence to link him to the disappearances of women north of the border. [Replicated text of the early reporting by BBC on this story above] BBC News | AMERICAS | Pig farm searched for missing women 2018, it was revealed Pickton was transferred to the Port Cartier Institution in Quebec. The maximum-security penitentiary is located about 600 kilometres northeast of Quebec City, near the St. Lawrence River. Corrections Canada did not confirm the transfer, citing the Privacy Act. ----------------------------- |
