Hong Kong: what next?

Unfortunately ...
I am being tested beyond my capabilities.
I am ill-equipped in my coping abilities.
I am drowning in my inadequacies.
I am rapidly losing my facilities.
I am failing in all my faculties.
I am overwhelmed with this.
I am random hit and miss.
I am miss, miss, miss.
I am doing my best.
My psyche is weak. Please forgive me for this.
Go to bed.

According to BeWater HK, cops are now abusing anti-COVID measures to crack down on pro-democracy restaurants.
Hong Kong Police Targets Pro-democracy Restaurants under the #Pandemic
Several pro-democracy restaurants in Hong Kong have reportedly become the targets of police inspection as soon as the government rolled out mandatory contact-tracing app at the premises on December 9, 2021.
These pro-democracy "yellow" restaurant were ordered by the authorities to halt dinner dine-in services for two weeks after some customers allegedly failed to scan the #LeaveHomeSafe app.
On December 18, 2021, the police and the staff from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (#FEHD) inspected the Kwong Wing Catering branch in Mong Kok. They claimed that one male customer did not scan the, a defecto tracing app, as required by the government.
It was the third Kwong Wing Catering branch to be penalised within a week for similar alleged violations. The inspection was “suspicious,” the eatery wrote on Facebook, saying police arrived less than 20 minutes after the customer concerned sat down.
After reviewing the security footage, Kwong Wing Catering said the male customer came in with another person, who did scan the app. That person then put the device in the man’s backpack while he appeared to be searching for his phone. He eventually presented his companion’s phone to the restaurant staff.
Other affected pro-democracy restaurants included Kabo Burger, Dine Inn, Explorer Fusion Restaurant, Thai Cool, DK Pizza Cafe, WE TIME CAFE, Santgria Kitchen and more.

The long shadow of the Chinese Communist Party
Even in London, supporters of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement don’t feel safe.

Indeed Yoss.
Patriots to the core, all 90 of them. A clean sweep.
And what a fine bunch of Upstanding Members they are.
Woof
Yup.
Thanks for this Yoss.
It's been happening for months but is really being ramped up now. Retail shops, eateries, small businesses across every sector/industry, media, academia, unions, NGOs, civic society, everything, are being targetted; using all and any measures and methods.
This is the heart and soul of Hong Kong being dismantled.
With increasing rapidity and intensity.
And the world watches on.
Mesmerised.

I'm listening to the Prime Minister of England giving a live press conference.
What kind of a nasty, dirty, grubby, tricky, shifty, greasy, sleazy, lying little cunt of a man is this?
There's a massive, global fucking pandemic going on, for fuck sake!
Keep an eye on this untrustworthy fucker peeps - and get yourselves some, quality, well-fitting N95 face masks.
Stay safe.
G'night. Rest well. Be nice to each other.
Wear a decent mask.

A time for everything. And everything in its time.
*A time to sow. A time to reap.
Time waits for no man.
Time is moving faster.
Change is coming.
The climate is ...
Bed now.

And, in amongst (or if you prefer, in the midst of,) all of this shit ...
Avery Ng, Chair of the League of Social Democrats (currently serving 14 months for unlawful assembly; an entirely peaceful assembly it should be noted), gets a message out of jail (via a colleague,) in response to the breaking news that new Covid-19 restrictions require all restaurants and catering establishments to close dining at 6:00pm - takeaway only thereafter - has shared that he is feeling blessed.
He says:
"Am I at the only place in Hong Kong where we can dine in?”
Heh! Stay strong Avery!

NiaoCollective, poignantly, references the Milk Tea Alliance and similar typically youthful progressive alliances and movements across the globe - that have been forged largely online over just the last few years - with just a few wise words.
"There's something encouraging but also incredibly sad how movements around the world have lent support to peoples going through similar struggles in other countries.
Encouraging because support is always welcome. Sad because ... well, no one should have to go through this shit."
Aye. True.

As I've mentioned many times, I'm not sure that most (or even many,) people in "the west" have the first clue of the pervasive breadth, depth and global infiltration of the CCP propaganda machine.
There's a huge, Party-loyal, diaspora across all western societies and a massive dedicated onshore manpower reservoir of millions of people, backed by tens of billions of US$$$$ annually, that deeply permeates and manipulates (banned in China,) western social media platforms.
If you need a three word slogan peeps, try ...

Oh!
And on the first anniversary of the USA attempted coup at Capitol Hill on the 6th of January 2021...
And while, in passing, we're all musing about the CCP ...
Let's not forget Burma ...

Breaking news at 10:42pm (GMT+8) on 6th Jan 2022.
A huge and massively rich economy, with all that wealth concentrated in the hands of a relatively few, powerful people. The integration of hyper-capitalist authoritarianism, an advanced understanding of AI driven social control, decades-long cradle-to-grave-deeply-ingrained propaganda and a pervasive influence across global (social) media.
It's a powerful and heady mix that in previous generations was (rightly!) described as Fascism.

That's the point.
It's too late.
There are no HK authorities. There is only the CCP.
It's too late.
Watch Brexit, Hungary, Poland, Austria.
It's too late.
Watch Ukraine and Russia.
It's too late.
Watch the Trumpist GOP in the 2022 mid-terms.
It's too late.
And then watch Taiwan.
It's too late.
I'm sorry. I failed.
It's too late.
The future is cyber.
It's too late.
The CCP dominates.
It's too late.
I have failed.
it's too late.
I'm sorry.
It's too late.
And then there's the "elephant in the room" ...
... Climate change.
I have failed.
I'm so sorry.
It's too late.
My bad.
Night.
