Hong Kong pro-democracy activists jailed for organizing protests last year. They vow the fight will continue.
'It's not the end of the fight'
Three pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been sentenced to serve jail time for their involvement in demonstrations against the Chinese Communist Party's increasing attempts to assume total control over the once-autonomous territory last year.
Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow, and Ivan Lam were found guilty of organizing and taking part in the mass protests near police headquarters last June, the BBC reported Wednesday. The protests kicked off a movement for freedom in Hong Kong that garnered international attention and has continued for more than a year.
Wong received a sentence of 13.5 months in jail, while Chow and Lam were sentenced to 10 and 7 months, respectively. The activists had been held in police custody prior to the sentencing, with Wong under solitary confinement, the British outlet noted.
Magistrate Wong Sze-lai argued that "immediate imprisonment [was] the only appropriate option" for the defendants after they "called on protesters to besiege the headquarters and chanted slogans that undermine the police force."
According to reports, Chow burst into tears after the verdict was read, while Wong shouted "the days ahead will be tough but we will hang in there" as he was led away by authorities.
In further remarks posted on Twitter by his lawyers, Wong said, "It's not the end of the fight … we're now joining the battle in prison along with many brave protestors, less visible yet essential in the fight for democracy and freedom for HK."

What else?
The pro-democracy movement in the former British colony suffered a major blow in May when Beijing announced it would bypass the Hong Kong legislature and impose a sweeping new national security law that effectively made protesting against authorities illegal.
Under the new law, the activists could have been sentenced to life in prison for their actions. However, since their offenses took place before the law's enactment, they were spared such a fate.
At the time, prominent pro-democracy legislator Dennis Kwok warned the enactment of the new law marked the end of the "one country, two systems" principle that had governed Hong Kong's relationship with China since Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of the communist country in 1997.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo agreed with the assessment, officially declaring that Hong Kong was no longer autonomous.
"Beijing's disastrous decision [to impose the law] is only the latest in a series of actions that fundamentally undermine Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms and China's own promises to the Hong Kong people under the Sino-British Joint Declaration, a U.N.-filed international treaty," Pompeo said in a statement.
[This] decision gives me no pleasure," he added before noting that it is the State Department's responsibility under the Hong Kong Policy Act to assess the territory's autonomy.

It’s Time for Trump to Unleash Unholy Hell Against America’s Evil Cabal of Consulting Companies
The United States is suffering through many crises right now, but Americans still had things to be thankful for over the Thanksgiving holiday. For starters, Purdue Pharmaceutical has finally been destroyed. The OxyContin producer has pleaded guilty to a series of crimes, and it will be dissolved after as much money as possible has been extracted from it to settle lawsuits.
Of course, not nearly enough justice has been done. Purdue’s former owners, the Sackler family, will remain enormously wealthy even after all settlements are paid out. The Sacklers, and most others associated with the company, are unlikely to ever spend a day in prison, even though they truthfully deserve to be numbered among the most abominable criminals in American history.
Still, at least some measure of justice has been done. The same cannot be said for one of Purdue’s co-conspirators — the consulting giant McKinsey & Company. If President Trump wishes to strike another blow for ordinary Americans against the elites who have brought the country to the brink of ruin, he should act immediately to destroy McKinsey for good.
Documents unearthed through a series of lawsuits have made it plain that McKinsey was a full-blown co-conspirator in Purdue’s effort to sell billions of dollars in addictive, deadly painkillers while escaping any consequences.
By 2017 the destructive impact of opioid painkillers was obvious to the entire country. In 2007, 18,515 Americans died from overdosing on an opioid drug. In 2017, 47,600 died that way. While heroin and fentanyl caused most of those deaths, thousands of those junkies got their start abusing Purdue’s infamous painkiller, which was promoted to the public with lies that it was less addictive than other opioids. By 2017, the only public debate should have been what punishment was fitting for Purdue executives. But at McKinsey, consultants were looking for ways to sell more pills.
According to records revealed last week, in 2017 McKinsey pitched Purdue on an idea to boost drug sales by paying out rebates to retailers whenever their customers died of drug overdoses.
McKinsey also, among several options, proposed that Purdue pay rebates for opioid overdoses or opioid use disorder cased by its product…not to the victims, but to the Pharmacy Benefits Managers like CVS and Anthem.

For every OxyContin-related “event,” McKinsey proposed paying health providers a rebate of up to $14,810. The rebates would serve many purposes, not all of them stated explicitly. Besides shielding those providers from possible lawsuit damages, the rebates would also compensate them for the losses from killing off their own customers.

Italian mafia probe shows banks exposure to massive alleged laundering scheme
The investigation may provide a rare look into how illicit money moves across borders through flawed banking systems.
Italian authorities investigated a businessman suspected of laundering billions of dollars for mafia associates using banks in a dozen countries around the world, according to the anti-mafia unit of Reggio Calabria, in Southern Italy.
Roberto Recordare, an IT entrepreneur from the town of Palmi, is alleged to be the brains behind the business dealings of several mafia groups, using fake identities and “special” bank accounts in countries at higher risk of money laundering.
Recordare’s alleged activities are documented in 2018 police records uncovered last week by Corriere della Calabria, a local paper, among files related to a previous investigation targeting a clan of the ‘Ndrangheta organized crime syndicate.
On one occasion, the police report says, the businessman told unnamed foreign clients that he “managed 500 billions in funds” and he had 36 billion euros “cash” ready to be transferred.
The report, which includes screenshots from Recordare’s personal computer, photos as well as transcripts from wiretaps, doesn’t mention the purpose of the potential cash transfer.
Recordare, who has not been arrested nor charged, told the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists that he learned about the allegations from media reports.
In an emailed response to ICIJ, Recordare called the whole matter a “farce.”
The entrepreneur, known previously for sponsoring his local volleyball team, added that “it would be necessary to understand who gave me these billions, how they were initially injected into the banking system, and which are these accounts, as well as why [the police] don’t seize them if they have identified them.”
The officials declined to comment and it isn’t clear if there is an ongoing investigation.
Leaked documents included in the Paradise Papers trove and public documents show Recordare has two companies in Malta, Golem Malta Ltd. and Recordare Holding Ltd., both registered in 2014. He also owns companies in Italy and the U.K., according to media reports.
The investigators believe he laundered funds that “presumably” derived from illicit activities such as arms and drug trafficking, extortion and usury, the report says.

Coronavirus Hysteria Is Simply Too Ridiculous to Continue
The ignorance and the lies concerning the Wuhan virus can't continue much longer, because time is simply revealing the truth about it. As we continue to suffer under foolish Wuhan virus restrictions, and as many parts of the U.S. — especially those under the rule of Democrats — are again ramping up the shutdowns and the lockdowns, more and more Americans are beginning to see what many of us have long known: the Wuhan virus data simply don't match the Wuhan virus hysteria. The evidence of this continues to pile up.
As they near the end of the first semester, U.S. schools provide some of the best evidence for those sick of shutdown politics and propaganda. In spite of millions of U.S. students attending in-person classes, nowhere in America are school-aged students suffering in any significant way from the Wuhan virus. And don't tell me about "cases." As I've long noted when it comes to the Wuhan virus, cases without context are meaningless.
Andrew Bostom again provides us with some important context on Wuhan virus cases. As of early October, in spite of nearly seventy thousand reported Wuhan virus "cases" across 50 U.S. colleges and universities, there were only three hospitalizations and zero deaths! Almost certainly, numbers across all of America's K–12 schools are similar. We can be nearly certain that if this were not the case, a media establishment desperate to further the shutdown narrative would tell us so. (The media have already been caught multiple times publishing fake news on this matter.)
Months-old data out of Europe told us that schoolchildren were in little to no danger from the Wuhan virus. As City Journal recently reported:
For young students, the risk of dying from Covid is lower than the risk of dying from the flu, and researchers have repeatedly found that children do not easily transmit the virus to adults. The clearest evidence comes from Sweden, which did not close elementary schools or junior high schools during the spring Covid wave, and which did not reduce class sizes or encourage students and teachers to wear face masks.
Not a single child died, and there was little effect beyond the schools, as a team of Swedish economists reports after analyzing records of Covid infections and medical treatment for the entire Swedish population.
Even Dr. "follow the science" Fauci finally agrees that schoolchildren are not significant spreaders of the Wuhan virus! Yet, in U.S. schools, sporting events continue to get postponed or canceled, and many schools remain in remote learning mode or are threatening to move back in that direction. Again, every instance of this is driven by "cases." Yet the vast majority of students and student-athletes are not getting sick, and if they are, they are certainly not sick to the point of death or even hospitalization. The longer this pandemic propaganda continues, the longer it becomes clear that shutting down schools and athletic events is nothing more than a political stunt perpetuated by leftist authoritarians, or at least an ignorant reaction to the left's Wuhan virus fear mongering.

Protests Quashed in Belarus as Reporters Face Serious Charges
Belarus continues to crack down on public dissent following the controversial presidential election this summer, with authorities now starting to bring serious criminal charges against the hundreds of journalists arrested since demonstrations began.
Police detained at least 300 people on Sunday during protests in Minsk, which had been staged as a series of small, dispersed rallies to limit demonstrators’ exposure to typically violent response by security forces, according to Deutsche Welle.
Those involved in the movement are calling for the resignation of President Alexander Lukashenko, who beat opposition leader Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya in an internationally-decried August 9 election dogged by widespread allegations of vote-buying.
Several countries including neighbouring Ukraine, as well as North Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania, have joined with the European Union in imposing sanctions on Lukashenko’s regime.
Meanwhile, authorities maintain their assault on the country’s press, which has seen many reporters violently attacked and detained in the months since the election.
Security forces have arrested more than 360 journalists, with 20 already behind bars and three now facing serious criminal charges for their coverage of the demonstrations, according to a statement from the Belarussian Association of Journalists.
Katsiaryna Andreyeva, Daria Chultsova and Katsiaryna Barysevich have been sent to pre-trial detention centres.
Andreyeva, a reporter with Belsat TV who was arrested on November 15th, reportedly faces criminal proceedings for allegedly orchestrating a riot. The charges carry a possible sentence of up to fifteen years in prison, according to the Belarussian criminal code.
OCCRP was further informed by a source with knowledge of the matter that Andreyeva’s husband has also been arrested by the authorities.
Chultsova faces similar proceedings, while Barysevich was indicted for “disclosing medical secrets, resulting in grave consequences” after reporting that protester Raman Bandarenka had been beaten to death, contrary to official statements.
A further six journalists are reportedly subject to criminal investigation, but have not yet been charged.

NATO says 'intimidating' Russia BIGGEST threat to bloc till at least 2030 – plans to send warships to Black Sea
A bombshell report by NATO has accused Russia of threatening Western interests from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arctic, as the bloc's secretary general calls for members to escalate their presence on the country's borders.
The analysis, published on Wednesday, argued that Moscow engages in "assertive policies and aggressive action," which has "negatively impacted the security of the Euro-Atlantic area." "In the long term until 2030, Russia is likely to remain the main military threat to the North Atlantic Alliance," the authors of the report say.
It added that Moscow frequently orders "intimidatory military operations in the immediate vicinity of NATO." The comments come just two days after the head of the organization, Jens Stoltenberg, told a press conference that members need to further strengthen their presence on Russia's borders on the Crimean peninsula and the Black Sea, and spoke of a need to increase their naval presence in the region.
As part of rising tensions, last week the US conducted a series of rocket-launch tests during NATO exercises in Romania, firing long-range missiles with the capability to hit Russian territory into the Black Sea. Responding to the drill, the deputy head of the Public Chamber of Crimea, Alexander Formanchuk, told reporters that Russian armed forces had deployed advanced hardware on the peninsula, which would neutralize any "surprise missile attack."
The politician argued that the exercises fit within a wider pattern of escalation, saying that "provocations against Crimea have become more frequent. Unfortunately, we are witnessing a further exacerbation of international relations and the international situation. And the topic of Crimea is a convenient reason for escalating such provocations."

Open Skies no more: US breaks with its NATO allies to pull out of Cold War-era deal that aided global security, blaming Russia Open Skies no more: US breaks with its NATO allies to pull out of Cold War-era deal that aided global security, blaming Russia
Earlier this month, the Russian Navy threatened to ram an American warship, the USS 'John S. McCain', which it says was intercepted two kilometers inside Russian waters in the Sea of Japan, off the coast of the Far East capital of Vladivostock.
In his address to leaders on Tuesday, Stoltenberg added that "we see Russia violating and undermining treaties." Moscow has, however, expressed similar concerns after the US unilaterally scrapped a number of international agreements, including the Cold War-era Open Skies pact that allowed for transparency over the movements of troops and military hardware on the continent.
Last year, President Donald Trump's White House also tore up the Reagan-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty that had banned a number of highly destructive weapons with ranges of between 500km and 5,500km. At the time, Washington also accused Russia of breaking the conditions of the pact, while Moscow strongly denied the allegations.

French former interior minister accused of concealing evidence in death of 80yo killed by riot police tear gas grenade in her home
The daughter of an 80-year-old woman killed when a tear gas grenade was fired into her apartment by French riot police two years ago has filed a legal complaint against former Interior Minister Christophe Castaner over the death.
In 2018, Zineb Redouane was closing the shutters of her flat in Marseille when she was struck by the canister, fired during a Yellow Vest demonstration. Experts estimated it had been travelling at more than 97km/h when it hit her chest and face, and she died in hospital shortly thereafter. A report earlier this year into the incident cleared the police of any wrongdoing.
However, a recent investigation conducted by the French non-governmental organization Disclose, using reconstructions by a research group at the University of London, contradicted that report and alleged that the officer who had fired the canister was targeting residential homes.
As a result of the NGO’s findings, Redouane’s daughter, Milfed, has now lodged a legal complaint against Castaner, who was the interior minister at the time of her mother’s death.
Her daughter’s lawyer, Yassine Bouzrou, has repeatedly accused the former minister and others of obstructing justice, and now, in the formal complaint, is accusing him of concealing and interfering with evidence.
Castaner, who currently leads the ruling La République En Marche! party, has repeatedly claimed Redouane’s death was not linked with the tear gas grenade. In 2019, pronouncing claims that police killed her as false, he told France’s Inter radio station, “We must stop this talk of police violence”.
The complaint will now be heard before the Cour de Justice de la République – a special court that was set up to try cases of ministerial misconduct.

Orban lashes out at Hungarian MEP’s ‘gay gang bang’ in Brussels, calling it ‘indefensible’ & ‘incompatible with values’
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has described the conduct of MEP Jozsef Szajer – caught in an apparent gay orgy in Brussels – as “incompatible with our values,” after Szajer resigned from Orban’s conservative Fidesz party.
Szajer resigned from his post on Sunday, two days after police in Brussels raided a male-only orgy for breaking lockdown rules and found the MEP shimmying down a drainpipe away from the 25-man party. He issued an apology on Tuesday, calling his “misstep”“strictly personal.”
Szajer then quit Fidesz altogether, party leader Viktor Orban told the Hungarian Magyar Nemzet newspaper on Wednesday.
“The actions of our fellow deputy, Jozsef Szajer, are incompatible with the values of our political family,” Orban told the paper. “We will not forget nor repudiate his thirty years of work, but his deed is unacceptable and indefensible.”
Fidesz is a right-wing party, and prides itself on its commitment to Christian and family values. Homosexuality is not outlawed in Hungary, but same-sex marriage is forbidden. Szajer himself helped draft Hungary’s new constitution in 2011, which explicitly defined marriage as being between a man and a woman. An amendment introduced last month ensured that only straight couples could adopt children.
According to a 2019 survey, less than half of Hungary’s population think that homosexuality “should be accepted by society.” Similar attitudes exist to immigration, and Orban has counted on the votes of these social conservatives to stay in power since 2010, and earlier, between 1998 and 2002.
As such, the “gang bang” scandal was held up in western media as an example of the alleged hypocrisy of Hungary’s right wing. Within Hungary, Fidesz has attempted to downplay the story. The party released a statement calling his resignation as MEP “the only right decision,” while Justice Minister Judit Varga told reporters that after the resignation, “all the rest is his personal matter.”

SCOTUS ‘Religious Freedom’ Ruling: Supremely Irresponsible, Immoral and Profoundly unJewish
We Jews already made a crucial decision about what religious freedom really means some 2,000 years ago. And it isn’t about defying COVID, shirking social solidarity and sanctifying death
Agudath Israel of America, the ultra-Orthodox representative organization, along with the Brooklyn Roman Catholic Archdiocese, have achieved a supreme victory from the U.S. Court of the same name: A victory for scientific illiteracy.
The damage that absolute victory will cause for the ultra-Orthodox community in America is comprehensive: it has the trajectory to deliver severe harm in the short term, social mischief in the longer term, and above all, a repudiation of a core Jewish value, in its ultimate sense.
The Supremes have eliminated governmental restrictions on the number of people who can attend prayer services, enacted in response to a spiraling and lethal COVID pandemic, for being a deathly infringement on the freedom of religion.
The Court, composed of justices raised as Catholics or Jews, has given its imprimatur to illness and death for God’s greater glory. They have allowed majestic cathedrals to manifest the divine presence with fuller attendance and fuller contagion; it has enabled the shtiebels and shuls to squeeze their heimische attendants into their infectious closed spaces. A decision made with no regard to well-proven, and thus tragically predictable, results.

Aussie Cop Challenges Police Repression
Kevin Dawson: "If there is truly no conspiracy here, why aren't we having the conversation? Why are we being silenced? Why are we being ostracised for having a differing view? Aren't these issues the very cornerstone of our democracy?"
To: Michael Fuller Police Commissioner of New South Wales
RE: Open Letter Concerning the use of Police in the discriminatory targeting of certain groups during the current "Pandemic"
As a Senior Member of the New South Wales Police Force Public Order & Riot Squad (PORS), I have been involved in many large-scale events and protests since 2009. Until 2016, PORS Commander Chief Superintendent Steve Cullen ran the unit in a manner that approached each mission, with consistency and without prejudice.
Since his departure, the unit appears to have been overrun by bureaucrats and we find ourselves in a situation where a once cohesive unit, has been replaced with uncertainty, division, and conflicts, driven by increased red-tape and competitiveness, causing the demise of good judgement in policing.
This situation has intensified during the declared National State of Emergency, as Police are asked to enforce arbitrary rules against the population, without any verifiable and objective scientific basis, in the name of public health and safety, often infringing upon basic human rights in the process.
Excessive force is being deployed with increasing regularity, causing harm when it is apparently meant for good and the public is losing respect, trust and faith in us. I was shocked when I learned that New South Wales is NOT operating under a declared a State of Emergency. Yet the police are being compelled to enforce directions on the basis they do when it is clearly without these additional powers.
This is contemptible and I have serious concerns over the legality of the infringement notices we are being asked to enforce and issue.
The response to COVID-19 and our directions are often confusing, so I make the point that if the enforcers are unclear, how can we expect the public to be. This has come from what appears to be a rushed response that is perplexing, and its aftereffects are harmful on many levels.
I have read and researched the contents of the open letter sent by officer Alexander Cooney, dated October 26, 2020 [1] and I agree with its contents and echo its sentiments wholeheartedly and strongly support the motion to investigate these assertions and start questioning what is demanded of us, instead of yielding to demands, because they are clearly infringing upon human rights and coming from a place of bias and from those who are not representative or accountable to the people.
For example, we were instructed to assist with the BLM and Armenian protests, yet more recently we have been told to "make an example" of people protesting anything deemed to be anti-government, with a "get them quick" attitude. Use of terms like "anti-everything hippies" to describe these protestors, is indicative of the ever-increasing prejudice coming from above.

Belt and Road Initiative: Deal Daniel Andrews can’t back out of
Daniel Andrews is facing an increasingly awkward situation this week over a major deal he signed, but batted away the pressure with one word.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is facing an increasingly awkward situation as Australia-China relations plunged to a new low this week.
In his press conference yesterday, he slammed the graphic fake image of an Australian soldier slitting a child’s throat that caused so much outrage this week.
He said that image was “just beyond the pale”.
“It’s wrong. I condemn it,” he said. “I would hope the rhetoric, the commentary, social media posts, comes to an end.”
But as the relationship sours between Canberra and Beijing, he is being forced to re-examine a controversial deal he made with China back in 2018.
The Belt and Road agreement has been heavily criticised by Mr Andrews’ detractors and it has fuelled conspiracy theories as an intense spotlight fell on his government during the coronavirus second wave.
He copped heat over the deal throughout his state’s lockdown, and yesterday he was asked again by reporters whether he would be turning his back on it — given what has happened between Australia and China this week.

COVID patient with sepsis makes 'remarkable' recovery following megadose of vitamin C
A young Australian man who was critically ill with COVID-19 and suffering early stages of blood poisoning made a remarkable recovery after being given massive doses of vitamin C, according to his doctors.
Key points:
Sepsis is a common cause of death for people gravely ill with COVID-19
Researchers at the Florey Institute used megadoses of vitamin C to treat sepsis in animals
Doctors at Austin Hospital tried the technique on a critically ill patient, who then made a "remarkable" recovery
Professor Rinaldo Bellomo, director of Intensive Care at Melbourne's Austin Health, said the 40-year-old's health had started to deteriorate significantly from COVID-19, with the man losing kidney function, and his blood pressure plummeting.
Sepsis — or blood poisoning — was starting to take hold of his body and time was running out.
"We were dealing with somebody who was very unwell. We felt we were in a very difficult situation, and the patient's life was under serious threat," he said.
Professor Bellomo knew researchers at the Florey Institute had some promising experimental findings using megadose vitamin C to treat sepsis.
With the family’s consent, doctors gave the patient the same treatment the Florey researchers had trialled in animals.
The man was given an initial dose of 30 grams of sodium ascorbate (vitamin C) over 30 minutes, then a maintenance dose of 30 grams over six and a half hours.
"This is the equivalent of 5,000 oranges pumping through his veins," Professor Bellomo said.
An over-the-counter vitamin C supplement is 500mg, meaning this megadose was 60 times the normal dosage, and had to be administered under hospital conditions.
Sepsis occurs when a patient can't respond to an infection that is out of control in the body.
A sepsis survivor's message
In a matter of days, Mick O'Dowd went from being a healthy, sport-loving father to a quadruple amputee. This is his extraordinary story and his warning to others how a simple sore throat or even a mosquito bite can turn deadly.

Organs start to fail and the patient goes into septic shock.
It's the most common cause of death in intensive care units, and a common cause of death for people gravely ill with COVID-19.
Often patients need to have limbs amputated to survive.
Professor Bellomo said after the patient had the megadose of vitamin C, the changes were "'remarkable".
"In a short period of time, we saw improved regulation of blood pressure, arterial blood oxygen levels and kidney function," he said.
His temperature also improved.
"The patient was able to be taken off machine ventilation 12 days after starting sodium ascorbate treatment and discharged from hospital without any complications 22 days later," he said.
