Current Chinese secret of Communist China flags predominance at Flushing Lunar Parade revealed

George The Atheist

     
Last year, our site highlighted the appearance of dozens of flags of the People's Republic of China (communist China) along the route of the annual Asian lunar year parade in downtown Flushing - HERE.   This year's parade, January 25, 2020,  saw a repeat appearance of these dozens of flags.   Parade organizers last year claimed they did not know who was responsible for this.   So we decided to investigate this year's parade.   See photos and captions below for the results.

 information and press reports on Li's and 
the CACWA's actvities can readily be  researched and found on the internet. [Readers, go to it!]  According to these sources,
 both have been and are rumored to be in the pay
 of the communist People's Republic.

Parade organizers were queried then about the
vast preponderance of Chinese communist flags
along the parade route.  Shamed?  Embarassed?
Playing catch-up? The 2020 photo shows now
 9 American flags festooning the reviewing stand.

Dunkin Donuts opening becomes a major concern

There are several points to ponder with regard to this attempt at humor I saw over at LIQCity:

Long Island City is a neighborhood full of people who are proud to live here. It’s very different than growing up in Briarwood, a neighborhood of people who are proud to live there until someone offers them an apartment anywhere else. Where, might you ask, is Briarwood? Exactly. Their slogan may as well be “Briarwood – damn, Manhattan is expensive!”

- Making fun of a neighborhood like Briarwood is apparently ok because it's generally a quiet area near public transportation where people of all walks of life coexist and not like LIC, which has just about lost all of its panache.

What’s amazing to me is that this Dunkin’ Donuts is at least partially locally owned, but the decision to string the flags seems to have been made by a bunch of older people in suits who think Long Island City is Long Island.

- Plastic flags outside a new business are somehow considered "Long Island" and not outer borough? And their presence is apparently one of the worst problems LIC has because we never find posts about the ever present Vernon Blvd. garbage, vagrants, etc. on that site, as the commenters there astutely pointed out.

- LIC people see no irony in defending their outrage over these flags by saying they want to protect the character of their community while simultaneously living in towers that already destroyed the character of the community.

The post was written by a comedian, but the reaction to it was what I found to be hilarious. And the flags have been taken down.
