Spertyd vir oproer in Hong Kong kom nader

Te midde van ’n waarskuwing oor “ernstige gevolge vir openbare veiligheid” deur die Hongkongse regering en ’n naderende spertyd om die betogings te staak, het betogergetalle op straat afgeneem, maar is dit onseker of hulle aan die oproep gehoor gegee het of bloot asem skep voor hernude protesaksie.

Op die vasteland het die Kommunistiese Party se mondstuk, die People’s Daily, in ’n hoofartikel gesê dat Hongkong se beeld as beheerste stad reeds deur die agt dag lange protes vernietig is, het AFP berig.

Personeel van die universiteit het by studente gepleit om huiswaarts te keer nadat die beleërde leier, Leung Tsjoen-jing, aangedui het dat die regering vasbeslote is om sosiale orde te herstel. Hy het spesifiek verwys na die staatsdienspersoneel wat toegang tot die sentrale regeringskantore moet verkry om vandag te kan voortgaan om dienste aan die publiek te lewer.

Leung, wat twee jaar gelede met 689 stemme uit slegs 1 200 lede van ’n pro-Beijing-komitee verkies is, het op onheilspellende wyse gewaarsku dat die voortduur van huidige betogings ernstige gevolge vir die openbare veiligheid en sosiale orde mag inhou.

Tienduisende betogers het egter Saterdagaand die grootste byeenkoms nog bygewoon en die etlikes wat Sondag terug op straat was, het aangedui dat hulle geensins van voorneme is om op te gee nie.

“Ons veg vir ons beginsels en universele stemreg,” het studente gesê. “Die regering het nog glad nie op enige van die eise vir burgerlike nominasies gereageer nie, maar eis net dat ons moet onttrek.” Die betogers eis die reg om kandidate vir die volgende leiersverkiesing in 2017 te mag nomineer.

Daarenteen dring die kommunistiese regering van China, wat in 1997 weer soewereiniteit oor Hongkong van Brittanje oorgeneem het, daarop aan dat slegs voorafgoedgekeurde kandidate in die verkiesing mag staan.

Studenteleiers en die regering het aangedui dat hulle bereid is om in gesprek te tree, maar albei dring op sekere voorwaardes aan en intussen het ver­skeie botsings, veral in die digbevolkte Kowloon-distrik, plaasgevind.

Geweld het ook opnuut in die vroeë oggendure Sondag in die Mongkok-distrik opgevlam toe die onlustepolisie knuppels en pepersproei gebruik het om betogers wat hulle van samewerking met bendelede beskuldig het, in toom te hou.

Sedert die oproer verlede Sondag begin het, het 165 beseerdes reeds in hospitale beland en ly plaaslike ondernemings ook erg onder die oproer.

    Hierdie klomp gaan ook agterkom dat “universele stemreg” ‘n foefie is – al wat dit doen is om ‘n rubberstempel op die magshongeres se wandade te plaas. Hier in ZA het baie gestem – net ‘n bietjie van die wat pro die ANC gestem het, se stem word werklik gehoor – die res beteken niks. So werk ‘n demockery – jy word ‘n rat voor die oë gedraai deur te dink dat jy insette in die besluite het.
    Die narre wat as kanidate van so ‘n verkiesing staan is in elk geval meestal in die sakke van dieselfde meesters.

    The so-called “permanent residents” in Hong Kong can vote and enjoy all privileges of citizens without obligation or commitment. They enjoy more privileges than the “real” HK people because: a. They need not forsake their original nationality or allegiance/loyalty to it; b. They can vote in both their own country and in HK; c. if HKcollapses (and causes harm to China), they would secretly congratulate themselves if their countries are at odds with China. Many of their home countries are.

    George Soros told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria over the weekend he is responsible for establishing a foundation in Ukraine that ultimately contributed to the overthrow of the country’s elected leader and the installation of a junta handpicked by the State Department.

    “First on Ukraine, one of the things that many people recognized about you was that you during the revolutions of 1989 funded a lot of dissident activities, civil society groups in eastern Europe and Poland, the Czech Republic. Are you doing similar things in Ukraine?” Zakaria asked Soros.

    “Well, I set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia. And the foundation has been functioning ever since and played an important part in events now,” Soros responded.

    It is well-known, although forbidden for the establishment media to mention, that Soros worked closely with USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy (now doing work formerly assigned to the CIA), the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the Freedom House, and the Albert Einstein Institute to initiate a series of color revolutions in Eastern Europe and Central Asia following the engineered collapse of the Soviet Union.

    “Many of the participants in Kiev’s ‘EuroMaidan’ demonstrations were members of Soros-funded NGOs and/or were trained by the same NGOs in the many workshops and conferences sponsored by Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation (IRF), and his various Open Society institutes and foundations. The IRF, founded and funded by Soros, boasts that it has given ‘more than any other donor organization’ to ‘democratic transformation’ of Ukraine,” writes William F. Jasper.

    Speaking of China. Tibetan exiles hate the Dalai Lama, a supporter of polyandry. Kim Lewis had occasion to talk at length with more than a dozen Tibetan women who lived in the monk’s building. When she asked how they felt about returning to their homeland, the sentiment was unanimously negative. At first, Lewis assumed that their reluctance had to do with “Chinese occupation”, but they quickly informed her otherwise. They said they were extremely grateful “not to have to marry 4 or 5 men, be pregnant almost all the time,” or deal with sexually transmitted diseases contacted from a straying husband. The younger women “were delighted to be getting an education, wanted absolutely nothing to do with their religion, and wondered why Americans were so naïve about Tibet.
