For years, the U.S. has debated whether TikTok poses a serious threat to privacy, democracy, and national security. This scrutiny is well founded — its vulnerabilities and potential for misuse are undeniable. But while TikTok dominates the conversation, a far more insidious platform has quietly evaded the spotlight.
With at least 4 million users in the U.S., WeChat’s user base might pale in comparison to TikTok’s, but its potential for damage far outweighs its modest footprint. This is not just another social media app; it’s the backbone of China’s surveillance state.
The CCP’s go-to app
Owned by Tencent, a tech giant with undeniable ties to the Chinese Communist Party — 23% of its employees are reportedly members — WeChat functions as an extension of Beijing’s ideological apparatus. For Chinese citizens, both within and beyond the country’s borders, WeChat is not merely a tool for communication. It’s a digital leash. The app monitors messages, scans locations, and censors content deemed “politically sensitive” by Beijing.
Through China’s national security laws, Tencent is obligated to hand over any data that the CCP demands. These laws apply to servers in Hong Kong, which, contrary to its pre-1997 promises, has become another arm of Beijing’s authoritarian machine. For Chinese diaspora members in the U.S., WeChat is a lifeline to family and friends back home (more on this in a minute). But this connection comes with a hidden risk.
Straying from the party line can result in an account ban, cutting users off from essential communication, payments, and services. The message is clear: Stay in line, or face isolation. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
