The 5-month old Hong Kong protests were initially triggered by a bill allowing extradition to mainland China. The bill was withdrawn in September, but anti-government demonstrations continue. Over the past week, Hong Kong authorities have fought with students at various universities. Police raided the occupation of Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) by protesters, and some of them battled against police with petrol bombs, bricks, arrows and other weapons. Police were authorized to used live rounds on students using lethal weapons. Some 600 students have walked off campus, due to ill-health and hypothermia after being blasted by water cannons, giving themselves up to police; they face 10 years in prison for protesting. Another 100 demonstrators remain inside, surrounded by police.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) was another focal point of conflict with the police. CUHK hosts the Hong Kong Internet Exchange (HKIX) that allows users to exchange information locally without routing through any other country. Communists in Beijing can either shut down the internet or monitor internet communications if it takes control of HKIX.
It’s like something out of a movie.
After a three-day standoff, roughly 100 students remain trapped inside the campus of Hong Kong’s Polytechnic University. For more than a day, police have had the campus surrounded, and have warned protesters that there’s only one way out – in handcuffs.
Despite a potential 10-year prison sentence (laws against rioting, which are being applied to the protesters, carry heavy penalties), some 600 students have already walked off campus into the waiting arms of police. Some surrendered because they were in ill-health after hypothermia set in. Of the 600 who left, 400 were above the age of 18 and were immediately arrested, while the 200 minors were stopped, then sent home. They could still face charges pending further investigation, the NYT reported.
A 15-year old girl in Houston said that she was removed from school to work in a restaurant from 4 pm to 2 am to pay off her debt to the cartels. The Biden administration is incentivizing and enabling the trafficking of children.

Defense lawyers for the Oath Keepers said in September, “What the Government knew — but only recently disclosed to the Defendants — was that none of the confidential human sources provided evidence of guilt on the part of the Oath Keepers as an organization, or the individual Defendants in this case.”
Rodas said that the US government is shipping children, or “product”, to sponsors who are not related to the child and are not legal citizens. She is concerned that the children are being used for labor or sexual exploitation and was told that the government’s holding center can be sued if children are kept too long.
Fashion brand Balenciaga has apologized for a vile photo shoot which featured kids holding teddy bears dressed in bondage gear and a prop relating to a Supreme Court ruling that allows virtual child pornography as protected speech.
Cardiologist Dr. Thomas Binder was sent to a psychiatric hospital in April 2020 for criticizing COVID policies including restrictions and lockdowns, mandates, the flawed PCR testing, and more. He was forced to take psychiatric drugs as a condition of his release.
September, the University of California (“UC”) mandated COVID-19 boosters for the 2022-2023 academic year for all faculty, staff, and students, in effect shifting its policy from fully vaccinated to up-to-date and suggesting that boosters will be required in perpetuity.
Congress is moving to prevent a US rail workers strike by intervening in a labor dispute to stop the shutdown that would devastate our economy. One third of products shipped in the US are transported by freight rail, including 70% of agricultural items such as grains, feeds and fertilizers.
There is a concern over remote warfare that can make militaries less accountable or can lead to mistakes. In addition, remote warfare via the push of a button can turn it into something that looks more like a video game and can diminish the reality of killing humans.
The CDC said that the 2-dose vaccines do not suppress transmission and taking boosters suppresses transmission for a short transient period that wanes. Therefore, there are no grounds for the government to mandate COVID vaccines because they don’t prevent transmission.
The author of the study said, “We can no longer say this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” The article neglected to point out that people were counted as unvaccinated until 2 weeks after they received the shot, when most injuries occur.
Bill 36, which was drafted in secret, will give the BC Minister of Health the ability to appoint College Boards that are required pass bylaws mandating vaccines for any illness the government chooses as a condition of keeping professional licenses.
The current protests erupted after a fire broke out Thursday and killed at least 10 people in an apartment building in the city of Urumqi, where some have been locked in their homes for four months. Locked doors may have blocked people trying to escape and stopped firefighters from gaining access to the building.
Tennessee State Senator Frank Niceley supports a sovereign state bank, modeled on North Dakota, to help stabilize his state’s economy. A state depository for gold is also proposed. Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and New Hampshire are issuing “gold-backs” that actually contain gold.
The bureaucrats at the California Air Resources Board are looking to ban all gas and diesel trucks. The board boasted about being the first to adopt a rule requiring truck manufacturers to transition from diesel to electric beginning in 2024. There is no infrastructure to support this insane plan.
