Rael supports China’s call for a de-Americanized world

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 17/10/2013 - 1:10pm

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 16 – After China’s official news agency called for a “de-Americanized world,” and referred to the United States as “a hypocritical nation with a dysfunctional government,” Rael, leader of the International Raelian Movement (IRM), issued his support for China’s position in a statement released today by the IRM.

“I totally support de-Americanization,” he said. “China should lead ex-victims of Euro-American colonialism and imperialism in this movement. It should create an alliance that includes all past victims.”
