1/7 Hi Tom, I've got a couple of 'bones to pick' with you regarding what you said on @AJInsideStory & here below.
1. #China has had control over #HongKong for 20+ years. For the vast majority of that time HK has been judged as being within the Top 3 Freest Nations in the world... https://twitter.com/tomgrundy/status/1389391340102852608
2/7 You cant alter #Facts.
What changed?
#US/ #UK decided it wasn't a "good look" for #China to have control of such #peaceful/ #prosperous places, especially after #Britain's #draconian rule over #HongKong.
#Action: Send #CIA #MI6 @NEDemocracy in several years ago to stir up sh1t!
3/7 Result: Various " #democracy #protests" led to the scenes of #violence, total #chaos & #terrorism by these so called 'Peace & Freedom Lovers'.
Biased #MSM campaign obviously started to spread #propaganda thick & fast... & the same happened with #XinJiang & #Uyghurs before HK.
4/7 You know as I do the awful West-sponsored #terrorism the #Chinese had to deal with for years in #XinJiang - & many #Uyghurs went to fight in #Syria with "Moderate" #Islamic #Terrorists... & are still there!
New #HK security law is less Draconian than that of #Australia! #FACT
5/7 2. #Assange?
Not a peep on #PressFreedomDay: Why?
Crass #Hypocrisy!
Western #FreePress my Ar*e!
Take note of these facts:
In the last 12 mths in #USA
416 journalists have been brutalized by #Police.
139 have been #arrested or #detained.
109 had equipment seized.

6/7 3. #Khashoggi dies: #US does nothing.
"Khashoggi Ban" #Blinken is so fond of is cosmetic: #MBS still remains supreme & #USWeapons still killing #Yemenis.
Hollow empty gestures - but lets blame #Russia & #China & have #Australia semi-declare war on China while we're at it!
@UN
7/7 @MariaRessa: Saw your @AJWitness program - again. So much has changed:
#France is a #PoliceState subjugating #Muslims.
#US is a #PoliceState... & if bereft of " #Democratic #RightThought" (dose of #sarcasm) one is #cancelled.
#Neoliberalism has no #PressFreedom or #FreeSpeech!
10/12 ..."International Rules based Order" with shared #Values" was equivalent to #InternationalLaw - which it is Not.
The #US/ #UK/ #EU #sanctions on 'all & sundry' they ideologically oppose are #Illegal & depend on $US as WRCurrency:
Note. Most Nations are de-dollarizing & Fast.
11/12 Why one asks?
Just pick a heading: Any heading by @wolfofwolfst on https://wolfstreet.com/ !
It's crazy!
#US & extended #Empire in #Meltdown & $US will be lucky to last as long as 50th Aniv of #POTUS Nixon dropping #GoldStandard 15th Aug 1971.
#USA's preferred Option: #War!
12/12 With a #US #War, it will be 'to the last #European' against #Russia (over #Ukraine) & whomever is unlucky enough to be in way when US engages #China (in SthChinaSea).
No #Strategic thinking in #WashingtonDC & hasn't been for 40 yrs - it's ALL adhoc tactics & #NATO obliges!
