EXPOSED: Apple CEO Tim Cook signed secret $275 billion deal with the CCP, betraying America

(Natural News) It is being reported that Apple CEO Tim Cook signed a secret agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) promising to prop up China’s economy and technological capabilities.

The $275 billion contract, which was confirmed through “interviews and purported internal Apple documents,” was signed in 2016 with a timeline of five years. That five years is just about complete.

Concerned about bad publicity in China, Apple executives reportedly pushed for a closer alliance with the CCP. China, by the way, is where all Apple products are manufactured.

The alleged internal documents show that Cook “personally lobbied officials” in China over threats made against key company products such as iCloud, the App Store and Apple Pay, a cashless payment system.

A 1,250-word agreement was then forged by Apple’s government affairs team in China, establishing a “memorandum of understanding” between the tech giant and the communist regime.

This memorandum called on the National Development and Reform Commission to establish and agree upon various concessions in exchange for certain regulatory exemptions.

“In May 2016, Cook announced that Apple would be investing $1 billion in the Chinese ride-hailing startup Didi Chuxing in a pointed attempt to mollify authorities,” reports explain.

“Shortly after, Cook, Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams, and government affairs head Lisa Jackson met with senior government officials in Zhongnanhai, the central headquarters of the Communist Party of China.”

Apple censors Bible apps in China because CCP hates Christianity

With Cook at the helm, Apple was able to get the CCP to sign the multibillion-dollar agreement, eliminating all sorts of regulatory actions against the company with special exemptions.

In exchange, China received significant investments, business deals, and worker training in the country, among other perks.

Apple specifically pledged in the agreement to help Chinese manufacturers develop “the most advanced manufacturing technology,” as well as “support the training of high-quality Chinese talents.”

Apple further promised to use more Chinese suppliers’ components in its various products, as well as invest capital into Chinese tech companies. There was also a clause about assisting more than a dozen Chinese government causes, which sounds like treason.

If no objections were made to the agreement, then it was also baked into the deal that it would be extended for a sixth year with an expiration date of May 2022, whichВ is on the way.

Apple zealously promised “many billions of dollars more” to China for new retail stores, renewable energy projects, and research and development facilities as well.

Another key component of the deal was Apple’s agreement to censor certain apps that the CCP does not want Chinese people accessing, including popular Bible apps such as Olive Tree.

The Quran Majeed, developed by PDMS, is also banned in Apple’s Chinese App Store, as are a number of other religious apps.

“Helping the enemy in any endeavor is a crime, is it not?” wrote one commenter at Neon Nettle, which covered the revelation. “This puke (Cook) is unamerican at the least and treasonous at the most. Boycott Apple and their Chinese products!”

“It is obvious that Apple CEO Tim Cook hasn’t an inkling of allegiance to the U.S. nor to the idea of preserving unalienable individual rights, let alone any form of a limited government republic,” wrote another.

Another joked that Cook must be related to Hunter Biden because “both need to be tried for treason.”

Yet another asked, “Doesn’t America have a statute criminalizing trading with the enemy?”

This is a valid question indeed, and one that everyone should be asking themselves right about now as increasingly more of these tech “gods” get exposed for collusion and conspiracy with enemy powers.

Question: Q: What is the deal with «Apple official unlocked» iPhones on eBay?

Does anyone know what this means? The eBay sellers say that you can use these phones on any network (like T-Mobile). but what is the catch? is there some sort of hidden cost or issue with the phones? and why do they say it’s officially unlocked by apple, (not jailbroken). curious as to why/how Apple would do this? Also, does anyone know if/when Apple will make the iPhone available on any other network other than AT&T?

PC, Windows Vista, n/a

There is the risk that if you have a problem with the phone you might not be able to get Apple to look at it, as it was intended for a different market.

I believe that T-Mobile’s 3G network in the USA works on a different 3G band (1700) than those that the iPhone supports (850, 1900, 2100). You would be using the GSM/EDGE network.

Best Prime Day Apple Deals 2021: What to expect

Prime Day 2021 is finally happening next week, with the Prime Day 2021 date set on June 21 and June 22, which means we should see some fantastic Prime Day Apple deals popping up very soon. With so many different Apple products available ranging from the Apple MacBook Air and Apple MacBook Pro, along with numerous iPad models, the Apple iPhone range, and AirPods, there’s no shortage of ways we could see big discounts on Apple products this Prime Day. Read on as we explain everything you need to know about Prime Day Apple sales.

What Prime Day Apple deals to expect

We think it’s pretty likely that most Apple products will be on sale during Prime Day. As some of the most hotly sought-after items, it makes sense that Prime Day Apple deals should be exceptional.

That means it’s likely that we’ll see discounts on the Apple MacBook Pro, along with the Apple MacBook Air. However, Apple AirPods are often discounted frequently so expect to see those as part of the Prime Day Apple sales going on.

Other products like price cuts on the iPad range, whether that’s the iPad Pro, iPad Mini, or iPad, are highly likely too.

What Prime Day Apple deals we saw last year

Last year, there were some great price cuts on the Apple MacBook Air during Prime Day Apple sales with $150 slashed off the base model making it a fantastic deal. We’d expect to see similar offers again, albeit on the M1 model which is now the latest Apple MacBook Air out there.

There were discounts too for popular gadgets like the iPad, iPad Pro, and the Apple AirPods, and Apple AirPods Pro. Expect to see some great Prime Day Apple deals here but you’ll need to be quick as Apple items are so highly desired.

Should you buy an Apple product on Prime Day?

If you’re in need of a new tablet or MacBook, this is a great time to go looking. Similarly, if those AirPods have been appealing to you for months, you’re unlikely to find better discounts before Black Friday and that involves waiting for months. The summer months are a particularly good time to enjoy superior earbuds while you’re out and about, after all. However, there is a chance there may be better discounts later in the year. It’s all a balancing act of knowing how long you’re willing to wait.

As always, know your budget and stick to it. If you’re new to all things Apple, check out our best MacBook guide so you know the crucial differences between each system. It’s worth doing your research before diving straight into the Prime Day Apple sales.
