Hong Kong style protests are now spreading world wide in Chili, Franci, UK, Spain, Lebanon etc

I am amazed that place is still standing. It's caught fire several times.

Protests ongoing for over a year.....
Seems you bitches can't even protest right.
Newsflash. Your gov doesn't care that you whine every Sat.

The poor hardworking family men want to have their say.

But we’re rioting online, in forums, fuck yeah.

The orange grandpa is uniting the whole world against him! Everybody know you're a Muppet.

Second Horseman (of the Apocalypse) Rides. Rev. 6:4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

People are tired of the B-u-u-u-ullshit! : (

Schiff hits the fan when Beijing goes.

Monday night's unrest in Yuen Long commemorated three-month anniversary of thugs' police-condoned entry into demonstrations. Among law enforcement participating, at least two with mainland flag stickers on headgear. (Many wear glowsticks, blinkers etc for identifying unit/function.)

In other news, fallout from earlier, wider spread clashes Sunday: sharia-believers upset that watercannon trucks squirted blue tint used to identify protestors onto front of Tsim Sha Tsui mosque. Profuse kneebending from Carrie Lam.

Also, backlog of repairs to infrastructure beginnibg to take a toll. Busted traffic lights resulting in car wrecks and pedestrian injurie. Pavers dislodged from sidewalks. Railings ripped apart. ATMs and subway turnstyles smashed. On the other hand, dearth of mainland tourists is heavenly.

Paradise, however, with mainlanders boycotting, here and in Taiwan. Masters of the universe, reveling in their ownership. Loud, occupying every square inch available, emptying their sibling-free toddlers' discharges into ashtrays and trash bins.

Commercial rents bring in millions; an entire economy given over to designer handbag sales and safe-harbor real estate that few locals can touch, even as new mega-structures multiply, choking off air flow. Accomodations actually affordable, set meals returned to better quality and generous portions. Clinics lowering prices, now that a billion fewer customers line secure priority for vanity procedures.

Children sentenced to ten-year stretches for marching... I foresee more individual rather than mass actions. For decades. $4.50 per hour minimum wage, jobs unavailable without Mandarin proficiency; nowhere to conduct a romance in private, no hope of renting a flat for starting a family... A recipe for prolonged discontent.

Get some people down to Viet Nam and get some guns

dont let the commies get away with this shit.

Most mainlanders don't know what happen in HK, and they get the wrong information in medias which controlled by CCP.

Maybe HK can make the base and spread to mainland through Southeast Asia where is boundary from South China. The people in South China has the same language and same custom with you. When the people knows what is happening in HK really, some of them will support you and join in you to fight for their own freedom.

Freedom of information is t he key to wake up mainlanders. Most mainlanders don't good at English, and the people in westen don't know the Manderin and Chinese character. But HK people just know the both.
When people know the truth, they will make the right selection and do the correct action.

The upside: these shared traditions-language-diet-past -- CULTURE! -- in so confined an area assure intense family values; love for elders and babies, too; bonds built in childhood lasting lifetimes. Maybe some endangered-culture status administered by off-planet NGOs would serve, something along the lines of protections for rain-forest indigenous, Navajo squalor or DPRK's lonesome frugality.

Or, could gerrymandering according to dialect work? Dystopia status embraced, the place off-limited behind a wall of slogans and approbation, a cyberpunk-inspired Dark City* where Cantonese spoken aloud or boat-personhood in ones genes repulse even the lowliest northerner. Contagion to be despised and sensibly ignored. Far fetched, until one considers the mainland's campaign to declare mahjong an unclean preoccupation -- yeah, in China that oughta work. [*Bill Gibson, in fact, admits to being taken aside, told he's been writing about disheveled SAR all along, not hyper-orderly Tokyo.]

It happens. Itinerent tech workers denied residency papers, for example. Then, once the're pretty good at building a smartphone, their statelessness allows them to seek work wherever they like -- forcing manufacturers to scrounge for new trainees at job fairs, wetmarkets and along roadsides.

Nothing useful from this visitor, only the occasional outbreak of tears from distress at a beloved's illness. Travis Bickle, every schoolboy, every schoolboy's cramschool tutor know afterall that Xi's wife has a passport from stateside, that all his family and inlaws enjoy greencards and celebrity status at the club -- making a someday war between us and them about as likely as that whisky-breathed Santa delivering you the pony he promised. (Thank you, beloved President Trump.)

Events scheduled this weekend, both at Tsim Sha Tsui. Sunday's, medical professionals adverse to cop violence; Saturday's, open to all. This reporter's prediction: predictors 'gonna predict but unintended weirdness probably prevails -- brutality being named likely, affectionate restraint and extreme accomodation are likelier. Let us hope, anyway.

In short, there's never been a sweeter time for a visit, if only to feel glad at displays of Old Glory and realize what those displays mean hereabouts. Precious.

Hold on. Two back-to-back events, both approved, scheduled for today (Saturday). Catholic prayer groups, then medical professionals, confined to Central, the finance district. Sunday, something called "Clear-Out-the-Inventory Test" -- sounding like a call to trash mainland-friendly shops, which demonstrators do with horrorshow efficiency at this point. Not authorised, of course, and to occur through all eighteen districts. MTR shutting down at ten, bulk of the population hiding at home long before. Not good.

Wrong. My bad.

"Clear-Out-the-Inventory Test" means lining up outside pro-demonstrations businesses en masse, then buying goods until shelves are emptied. About as non-violent as it gets.

Hong Kong is Chinese turf now
we should not go to war over it

Now word's out that overtime pay and next year's "tear smoke" budget hinges on the troops coming out from their strongholds, marching first this direction, then that. Waving batons. Banging on perspex shields á la Zulu Nation.

Such was the scene again in Yuen Long late Saturday evening. An unscheduled show of "Let's go downstairs and see what the commotion's about, maybe bring home a pork bun as well" and nothing irritates the authorities like unscheduled. Parents with kids on shoulders, middleschool girls submitting to having their purses rummaged with.

One actual show of the old ultraviolence: a rather fit guy (retired footballer, it was revealed this a.m.) made the error of shouting support for police. Eight skinny kids set about going all MMA on his ass, grappling-kicking-punching. One trying to twist his foot off for a souvenir, while the others applied a rethink to his nose and incisors. Not a time for contrarian views to be aired, Travis.

The usual chants of "Black cop! Black cop!" (Corrupt. Power abusers.) A spontaneous singing of "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." for no observable reason, some embrace of the absurd. A touch of vandalism from the few in orthodox black kit and masks. Finally, the police withdrew for debriefing and the crowd set off for bed.

War this, war that. Calm down, patriot. Confront everyone who doesn't like you much, soon you're skirmishing with indigenous Hawaiians, laying waste to sanctuary-shitty Vegas. Loosest slots in town; Spanish (only) spoken here. Buffet line forms to the left.

Still, vacationers prefer Honolulu and The Strip over East Asia for shedding discretionary cash. Instead of South Korea, where everyone remembers draftees who shed blood in the mud and snow to force the crazies northward, and every last local's got a cousin or three propping up shitstain Los Angeles. Rather than Hong Kong, where the flag's displayed with pride and it's no secret that Japanese would be chopping heads to this day, but for hardfought victory in the Pacific.

In short, the direction seems to be LAPD-style adversarial polarization. Versus gentler times' affection for law enforcement despite all, cops one facet of the British ocçupiers' infrastructure legacy. The place remains a single neighborhood of 7.5 million pressed together in 500 square-foot flats stacked to the clouds in concrete hives -- other than the Etonian ubermenchen, perched safely in their Mid-Levels on the main island.

Which brings us to Sunday and another non-permitted gathering of thousands in Kowloon's Tsim Sha Tsui, the city's Rodeo Drive. Streamed on RTHK this moment if anyone's interested.

The crowds with their police-and-press entourage creeping towards downscale Mong Kok, Jordan, Prince Edward, Sham Shui Po. Graffiti galore. At least one pre-teen seen in Captain America regalia, shield and all. Watercannon trucks ready for a little fun. Protestors' chants of "Dissolve-restructure the police force!," "Triad!," "We are your fellow citizens gathering peacefully; don't harm us!," the very Cantonese "Your mom fucks dogs!" and "Hong Kong police: dog-shit garbage!"... (Don't try this at home, kids.) Watercannon opening up. Tear gas, too.

In fairness, LEOs have been toning down their response and deserve credit. One was just hauled away with a bloodied forehead, hit with a bottle or something -- and no-one's gone nonlinear... But hold on. Non-lethal shotgun rounds, press guy hit in the leg...

Just another muggy Sunday evening in the land of plenty.

Lebanon showing the way... Square© AFP -

Tens of thousands of Lebanese protesters were to attempt a human chain running across the entire country Sunday to symbolise newfound national unity.
Demonstrators planned to join hands from Tripoli to Tyre, a 170-kilometre (105-mile) chain running through the main protest hub in Beirut, as part of an unprecedented cross-sectarian mobilisation.

Tension has mounted in recent days between security forces and protesters, who are blocking roads and bringing the country to a standstill to press their demands for a complete overhaul of the political system.

The Sadducees will soon start to feel the pressure as it builds worldwide.

The Dead Sea Scrolls brand the Sadducaic elite as those who broke the covenant with God in their rule of the Judean state, and thus became targets of divine revenge.

Which derails a thread quicker, Baal-istic mumble-jumble or evoking fecal imagery? Probably the feces make a bigger subliminal splash, while biblical yack and pedo priests' recitations only sound corny, disingenuous and obvious with the obfuscation.



'Watching Chilli Lucas's multi-panel streaming in real time, nine inputs simultaneously at times. Demonstrators are mixing with All Hallows partygoers in disguises, costumes despite masks being outlawed, commemorating police going amok two months ago in Prince Edward MTR metro station, pepperspraying, beating passengers with batons as they pled for mercy. No wish to reconcile so far.

Police showing quite the heavy hand in multiple locations -- Admiralty, Causeway Bay -- threatening tear gas and arrests, shutting down select train stations six hours ago. This a day after arrests of kids and business owners, in Tuen Mun.

Only nine p.m. in out front of the police barracks at Prince Edward, cordoning off Lan Kwai Fong clubbing district, declaring a surprise curfew this Halloween night. Arrests in Mong Kok...

Meanwhile, in the background, Alibaba to descend on a shattered city in a month to raise an estimated fifteen billion dollars behind their IPO, even as thousands of Mandarin speakers are asking employers that they be reassigned to Beijing or Shanghai. Fear for their own and families' safety.

Wow. LKF crowds being called illegal assembly. It's on.

An American calling police motherfucker, getting dragged, clubbed kicked in return at this moment...
