“By smuggling these things (hair clips, chocolate) inside to recruit followers & build influence, they create hatred towards the government & endanger national security"
2. “To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so" - Proudhon
3. Another Thieving Bastard is Steve Li
Senior Superintendent of the Police National Security Department
"During the newsroom raid, officers "found" computers, mobile phones and HK$500,000 in cash"
4. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished.
"These sham elections are a farce. The CCP decided an easy way of winning the election is to lock up the entire opposition & rig the rules. This is not a democratic vote, it is a propaganda exercise which has no legitimacy"
"It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed"
9. Proof of the Pudding
a list of protestors and pro-democracy activists arrested, prosecuted or imprisoned by the Hong Kong government (last updated: 16 December 2021)
At the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned..That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”
12. What remains?
Life in jail for anyone who violates China's new Hong Kong security law?
The seminal paper from WIV claiming SARS-CoV-2 probably originated in bats appears to contain a contrived specimen, incomplete & inaccurate genomic assembly, & the signature of lab-derived synthetic biology
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best journalists lack all conviction,
while the worst Virologists
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Omicron is at hand.
The Omicron! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight:
somewhere in sands of the Kalahari desert
A shape with bat wings and the spike of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant cave bats.
