FOURTH HOUR

#PRC: Destroying dissenters with Umvolkung.   Gregory R Copley, @Gregory_Copley, editor and publisher of Defense & Foreign Affairs.  
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/panic-shopping-in-beijing-as-covid-cases-raise-fears-of-lockdown/ar-AAWBFdH
Umvolkung is a term in Nazi ideology used to describe a process of assimilation of members of the German people as a way for them to forget about their language and their origin. As a neologism, it echoes Umpolung, 'polarity inversion', leading to an interpretation akin to ‘ethnicity inversion’.
