Propaganda – Example
“Maybe chalk up the ‘inevitable war’ furor to the desperate quest for click-bait by Western outlets who know on what side their access, advertising, and readership bread is buttered (hint: it’s not the China side, at least not…mostly…yet).”

COMMONISM – AS IN COMMON SENSE
“Isn’t it time we change how we view politics and base it on common sense instead of some ideology dreamed up over a hundred years ago when circumstances were utterly different than now?”

HONG KONG – SOLUTIONS!
“Only by winning the hearts and minds of the majority of people can you in my opinion embark on a winning strategy. Glorious or inglorious defeat should not be your aim. Hong Kong people do not want chaos and conflicts; they want someone who will make their life better.”

Hong Kong Stalemate – “Where’s The Evidence?”
“No doubt pro-democracy institutions such as NDI and NED have an interest in HK. This is not even a secret. As to a more sinister agenda, that is largely a subject of conjecture – one which the CCP loves to elaborate about.”

Hong Kong 15 October 2014 – An Overview
“So where do we go from here and what will happen? That is a good question. One thing I am pretty certain of is that Hong Kong will never be the same again, whatever the outcome.”

Letter to Hong Kong from Ronny Tong
” If truth be told, the ugly reality is we cannot move forward unless we can build up some semblance of mutual trust. It is not a question of can we do it. It is a question of we must do it. We have only 2 choices: continue on this downward spiral of confrontation and deep division amongst ourselves, or, try to work out a general consensus in terms of long term democratic development.”

HONG KONG AND DEMOCRACY
Whether you think so right now or not, the people in Hong Kong enjoy the same advantages of a democratic society (outside of electing their own Chief Executive) as most other democratic countries, even if its political system can’t technically be called a “democracy”.

Why Russia and Syria are being targeted by the US
“…the reason the USA is interfering in the middle east has nothing whatsoever to do with toppling tyrannical dictators and giving their people democracy. Everything has to do with a covert concoction of money and geopolitics.”

IT WAS TRUE 50 YEARS AGO – MEET FRANK SINATRA
“But to me religion is a deeply personal thing in which man and God go it alone together,
without the witch doctor in the middle. The witch doctor tries to convince us that we
have to ask God for help, to spell out to him what we need, even to bribe him with prayer
or cash on the line. Well, I believe that God knows what each of us wants and needs. It’s
not necessary for us to make it to church on Sunday to reach Him. You can find Him
anyplace. And if that sounds heretical, my source is pretty good: Matthew, Five to Seven,
The Sermon on the Mount.”
