@PeteSouza 1. @GovKemp My parents brought my sister & I to this country so that we could have a better life bc #Salazar, the #PortugalsDictator limited what we #Peasants could do to improve our lives. And we also lived in fear of being arrested at any moment by the #SecretPolice, #PIDE....
@PeteSouza @GovKemp 2. It seems to me that you & the @GOP are depriving #Poor #AmericanCitizens their #RightToVote. A #TruePatriot would make it easier for ALL Americans to vote; not just the privileged! But then we know that Americans are tired of how the @GOP governs & we don't approve.....
@PeteSouza @GovKemp @GOP 3. of the #GOP's agenda & your #ConspiracyTheories! You can bet that this #EuropeanAmerican who remembers what it felt like to live in fear in a #PoliceState will do everything in her power to assure that the @GOP #VoterSuppression laws fail! My parents made many sacrifices....
[I was tailed by an unknown car with China-HK license even on Sunday]
1. Today when my friends and I visited Victoria Peak Garden in #HK, I was tailed by an unknown 7 seater car with a #China-HK license plate.

2. Clearly, that is not a coincidence, since a middle-aged woman had already been there before we reached the park, holding her phone videotaping us. It implies that those people were not only following us, but also conducting a wide-area surveillance operation on dissidents.
3. Six of them surrounded my friends and me and continuously provoked me with verbal abuse. That is the common tactic that they use to arouse targets' anger, smear them with everything filmed and cherrypicked, and justify their arrests.
[I was tailed by #secretpolice agents again. This time crazier]
1/ Even after #HK’s election was cancelled, #secretpolice stalking has intensified. Today when I met with friends in one building, several unknown agents have lingered outside......

2/ At the moment when I left, one of the agents stared at me and recorded the time with his hand-free device. He did the same when my friends left. Clearly, he was recording how long and when we stay at the building and analyzing our behavioural patterns.
3/ Afterwards, I was tailed by car VE3492, hoping to follow me to another destination. Once realizing my fds discovered them, the car completely violated traffic rules, ran the red lights and turned a U-turn at the straight-ahead-only intersection, nearly leading to car crashes.
[City-wide testing by three #China-based laboratories, with one allegedly involved in DNA collections of #Uyghurs]
1/ #Hkgov has just announced a city-wide #Covid19 testing. Without proper tendering procedures, #Carrielam directly granted 150,000,000 HKD for the project.

2/ They project of Hong Kong government invited three mainland-based laboratories: Sunrise Diagnostic Centre, China Dragon Inspection and Certification and Prenetics.
Dictator Moi illegally "disbanded" the Kenya Air Force after the August 1st coup attempt. Former servicemen were rendered unemployed & thrown out without being paid their benefits. A large number suffered & died from alcoholism & substance abuse. Others survived on menial jobs
The dictator embarked on a well oiled surveillance & monitoring of every single former serviceman. They were banned from state employment. They couldn't use their skills to work in security firms, aviation or transport. Those who got such jobs would lose them under state pressure
In fact hiring a former KAF serviceman was equated with sedition. A politician who hired some in his security detail was accused of plotting to overthrow the dictatorship. Lack of police certificate of good conduct barred them from jobs yet the servicemen had no criminal record.

TRUMP'S SECRET POLICE: A HISTORY LESSON (cont.)
1. Cheney, Yoo, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bolton... familiar names to those of us who were anti-war activists during the Bush years.
2. Bush and his neocon buddies launched a brutal war based on lies and established a torture regime.

3. With the help of specious legal "justifications" from Yale lawyer John Yoo, Bush and his cronies launched an assault on civil liberties and basic human rights.
4. Today, that same Yoo is assisting Trump. theguardian.com/us-news/2020/j…

"Polls show that the majority of Americans disapprove of #Trump’s decision to confront rather than co-opt the #protests. Despite this, the order to move #federal agents into #Portland appears to be an intensification of the conflict..."

[This year might be the last year of annual #TiananmenVigil in #Hongkong]
1. 31 years ago, Beijing crushed dissents with tanks and guns. 31 years later, Beijing is ripping out our democratic aspiration with a tyrannical law.
1. 31 years ago, Beijing crushed dissents with tanks and guns. 31 years later, Beijing is ripping out our democratic aspiration with a tyrannical law.
2. At the time when #Beijing is unilaterally imposing the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw upon #Hongkong, this year might be the last year that Hongkongers can talk about #TiananmenSquareMassacre publicly.
3. Even before this evil law is implemented, #HKgov has already tightened its grip by banning this years’ candlelight vigil for the first time in 30 years. To block #Hongkongers from joining the vigil, the venue was locked down w/ barricades, with thousands of #hkpolice deployed.
1/ #Hongkongers welcome @BorisJohnson’s visa offer to 3 million #HongKong citizens, at the time when #Beijing government completely ignores the will of #HKers and unilaterally imposes the draconian #nationalsecuritylaw over the city.
2/ According to the latest poll, 64% of the city’s population opposes #China’s blackbox #nationalsecuritylegislation that completely bypasses local legislative scrutiny. However, Beijing chooses to ignore all critics and turns #HK into another Mainland city.
3/ The law will have grave implications for local civil society and investors’ interests in this global business centre. Beijing is literally imposing a #CCP-led #secretpolice agency to enforce #China’s law in the territory of #Hongkong.
1/ Mark Zuckerberg said that he hopes Facebook will "find a way" to keep offering its services in HK after @SecPompeo declared that HK was "no longer autonomous" from China. It implied the risk of great firewall adopts from Mainland China to HK.

2/ In fact, #nationalsecuritylaw will affect all netizens since #China has a long history of regarding critical voices on social media as a threat to its national security. It has imposed the most restrictive cybersecurity rules & clamped down on the flow of information in China.
3/ Under the new law, the #secretpolice agency is just the first step for more China’s direct control. As Section 4 of the law reads “Central government can base on needs to set up institutions in HK to uphold #nationalsecurity.”
[Germany & EU members need to take stronger actions to ward off the evil law]
1/ Thank @HeikoMaas for standing with HK & protecting the city’s liberties & business interest.
1/ Thank @HeikoMaas for standing with HK & protecting the city’s liberties & business interest.
2/ Under unreasonable pressure from #China after we had met last year, @HeikoMaas never backs down from protecting the democratic values and autonomy that the world and #Hongkongers cherish.
3/ The #nationalsecuritylaw creates endless uncertainty for Europe's business strategy in HK & China. As European business groups mentioned, European business community views HK as an essential business centre due to its autonomy.
1/ Despite foreign doubts and #Hongkongers’ criticism, #NPC just passed #nationalsecuritylegislation. # China unilaterally imposes the law with its legislation entirely under a black box, with no legislative scrutiny and public consultation.
2/ Today’s decision is a direct assault on the will of #HKers. China is scrapping its promise of autonomy under the Joint Declaration, a legally binding international treaty, & burying 1Country2System when a #secretpolice agency can enforce #China’s laws within territory of HK.
3/ Up to now, #Beijing loyalists keep downplaying the adverse impacts on HK’s judicial independence & civil liberties. Under similar law in China, people seeking justice for #TiananmenMassacre, supporting HKProtest were sentenced to jail. It might kill HK’s democratic movements.
[Sanction red capital, dual-used tech and white glove
companies as the way to send a warning signal to China]
1/ @Reuters and @business Bloomberg just confirmed that the US is likely to sanction China if it approves the hugely controversial bill that damages HK's autonomy.

1/ @Reuters and @business Bloomberg just confirmed that the US is likely to sanction China if it approves the hugely controversial bill that damages HK's autonomy.
2/ When #Beijing insists on ignoring international responses and breaching international norms and rules, it is time for China to face the grave consequences and international backlashes for its irresponsible act of scraping an UN-filed Joint Declaration.
3/ In fact, the world has already expressed concern over the evil & ill-defined #nationasecuritylaw that will kill democratisation in #HK and harm global business interest in HK. But China keeps dismissing all doubts from world leaders, business sectors and even bar associations.
1/ From anti-extradition law to anti-national security law, more than thousands of #Hongkongers took to streets to protest against this highly controversial law since the new law will kill future democratic movements, and murder any slight chance to seeking justice in the city.
2/ It's fiercely imposed by Beijing upon the will of #HKers, without legislative scrutiny. Even tens of thousands of #HKers showed their outcry against draconian law, #hkpolice crushed dissents with armed vehicles, water cannons, teargas & pepper balls but #YouCantStopUs!
3/ The proposed national security agency is like the #secretpolice branch in HK. The biggest concern is arbitrary & political interpretation of the law, When using the law in China, lawyers, reporters, NGOs, religious groups were accused of “inciting subversion”.
The #Malawi Judgement so far shows that the modus operandi of rigging of elections across Africa is almost identical. Again Dubai #UAE seems to always play a major role especially in the printing of ballots & other documents. The errors arising from poor quality docs seem willful
It would look like the poor quality papers are primed to suffer damage - which then provides the cover to use duplicates or alternatives not allowed by law. The countries seem to learn from each other the WORST practices.
As in all cases the fraudsters allow & even display the orderly queues where citizens vote without intimidation or violence. International observers see this & sign their pre-written reports & to the game parks to see wildlife. They get called to flee when violence breaks out
