Labor Day 2023 September 4, 2023 (Hong Kong Protests Revisited 2019 Sept. 4)

Monday September 4, 2023 HAPPY LABOUR DAY!!!

This is about my post in 2019 September 4 when Hong Kongers were protesting Beijing’s social credit score system.

Hong Kong and Kowloon were ceded to Great Britain in perpetuity.

Then in 1997 In accordance with the “One country, two systems” principle agreed between the United Kingdom and the People’s Republic of China, the socialist system of the People’s Republic of China would not be practised in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), and Hong Kong’s previous capitalist system and its way of life would remain unchanged for a period of 50 years.[50] This would have left Hong Kong unchanged until 2047.

In the years following the 2014 protests, Beijing and the Hong Kong government stepped up efforts to rein in dissent, including by prosecuting protest leaders, expelling several new legislators, and increasing media censorship. The Chinese Communists changed their minds and abrogated the “One country, two systems” principle agreed between the United Kingdom and China in 1997.

The COVID pandemic was about to begin.

SPREAD THE WORD . . .

No. 1 – “Hong Kongers should be worried about China’s social credit score system. It’s an extremely oppressive system which literally forces people to live in a type of social prison. People who have low social credit scores a.k.a. people who oppose communism and authoritarianism, are punished with the loss of certain social privileges like the ability to travel by plane or train, or find a good job, school choice for their children, and even the loss of family pets! . “

No. 2 – Communism is a concept alien to China!Why not hold a referendum and ask the people of Hong Kong what form of government they would like to have?Free will, God’s greatest gift, is the basis of a genuine democratic society!

No. 3 – On April 10, 1974 Deng Xiaoping, as Chairman of the Delegation of the People’s Republic of China, delivered a speech at the Special Session of the U.N. General Assembly. He assured the world: “China will not be a superpower , nor will she ever seek to be an imperialist country which everywhere subjects other countries to its aggression, interference, control, subversion or plunder* and strives for world hegemony.”

No. 4 – In that speech Deng Xiaoping warned and advised that if China becomes an aggressive, exploitative, bully that it is today under the Cult of President for life Xi Jinping, the Father of Modern China urged the world to EXPOSE IT, OPPOSE IT and WORK TOGETHER WITH THE CHINESE PEOPLE TO OVERTHROW IT!”

“I’m not telling people what to do or think, the government is doing a great job of that already. It’s about freedom of choice, I believe people should have the right to think for themselves.

– VAN MORRISON, Friday Sept. 18, 2020

“We must stand up and be counted because we need to find a way out of this mess. The alternative is not worth thinking about. Live music might never recover. – ERIC CLAPTON, Friday Nov. 27, 2020 ===================================

My comment: “I think it is time to give these various regions a choice whether they would want the status quo or independence and a FREELY ASSOCIATED STATE.  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is INSANITY. The various peoples of the Philippines must be allowed to choose.* FREE WILL IS THE BASIS OF A GENUINE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.” – Bienvenido Macario Sept. 27, 2006 In the WAIS post: Hungary, Thailand…and the Philippines (Bienvenido Macario, Philippines) 09/27/06

Easter 2023 (American Battle of Bataan POWs interview)

April 9, 2023 – Happy Easter! Also today is the 81st anniversary of the Fall of Bataan.

“If you love me, OBEY my commandments.”
 – John 14:15  

Jesus gave us just two commandments the second being “Love your neighbor as yourself”. In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus Christ explained who is our neighbor, i.e. the one who helped us. For the longest time we, especially Christians in the USA, have been ignoring our neighbors in the Philippines. What happens when we fail to help our neighbors? 


The answer is in Matthew 25:45  “WHEN YOU REFUSED to HELP THE LEAST of THESE MY BROTHERS and SISTERS, YOU WERE REFUSING to HELP ME.’”
– Matthew 25:45 From The Sheep and the Goats Matthew 25:31-46
   =================
When are we going to take concrete steps to help our neighbors, our families and friends in the Philippines? 
Maybe we should invoke equity, diversity and inclusion as Native Americans.


MORE THAN A GOOD SAMARITAN 

World War II in the Philippines 

April 1942 – Bataan Death March

*In San Fernando, Pampanga and other towns, Filipino civilians risked their lives to give food and water to American and Filipino troops force to walk the 60 to 70 mile Bataan Death March.*

Often Japanese guards would bayonet civilians giving food and water to US and Filipino soldiers. But this DID NOT DISCOURAGE FILIPINO CIVILIANS. In fact, WORD SPREAD about the plight of AMERICAN & FILIPINO POWs, like wild fire the crowds of FILIPINOS WANTING to help GREW bigger & bolder. THESE FILIPINOS WERE way more than the PROVERBIAL GOOD SAMARITAN. This is open defiance of the inhuman treatment of their fellow man.Often Japanese guards would bayonet civilians giving food and water to US and Filipino soldiers.


“At 0:41 – *Even though Filipinos tried to give us food, the Japanese wouldn’t let them and SEVERAL TIMES  they BAYONETED WOMEN, CHILDREN TRYING TO GIVE US WATER and FOOD.”*
