It wasn’t a massacre of peaceful students, but a skirmish between PLA soldiers and armed detachments from the pro-capitalist/free market reform movement. The protest movement, as evidenced by their own accounts, called for market liberalization and free market reforms, rallying around a replica of the statue of liberty. After the movement had been building in the square for seven weeks, unarmed soldiers were sent in to disperse the protesters, after which many soldiers were beaten to death, torched, and lynched. The New York Times’ death count went from 2600, to 8000, then to tens of thousands. In reality, only around 300 (including soldiers) were killed or trampled in smaller clashes outside the square.

Deng Xiaoping was ill at the time, and the CIA had a man inside the party, Zhao Ziyang, dubbed “China’s Gorbachev”, who promised to open the door to market liberalization if the protest movement had succeeded like those in Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Georgia, and the USSR.

Student protests were funded by the “National Endowment for Democracy” (NED), an NGO fueled by the U.S. State Department and founded by former CIA members. NED has involved itself in numerous regime-change ventures around the world in the effort to dismantle leftist governments through funding internal revolution and misinformation campaigns.

The protest movement followed the line of “color revolutions” in which the US tried to destabilize and create counter-revolutions in Eastern Europe and Latin America after the fall of the USSR. The strategy was to stir division within and without by inundating the media with news of massacres of “peaceful”, pro-capitalist/market reformers.

The Chinese Communist Party did not deny the incident and the deaths that occurred, nor did they hide the incident from the public. They held a press conference on national television two days after the incident occurred where they openly admitted the actions that took place, the estimated casualties, and the political motives involved.

An on-scene Washington Post reporter disavowed his own article for its lies and lack of journalistic integrity, especially regarding the alleged machine-gunning of protesters.

A wikileaks cable from a US ambassador to the US state department confirmed that no killings or machine-gunnings took place in the square.
