Almost a year after HONG KONG POLICE conducted CCP RED GUARD style storming of Hong Kong APPLE DAILY Headquarter ( NEXT MEDIA / NEXT DIGITAL ) searching for ' material evidence ' of Jimmy Lai and his APPLE DAILY's suspicion of ' colluding with foreign forces ' ( foreign nations, in this case, specifically pointed out to Western democratic nations ) engaging in the ' subversive activities ' that might compromise Chinese Communist Party's ' national security ', HONG KONG POLICE, under the command of NATIONAL SECURITY BUREAU have conducted a sudden raid at the APPLE DAILY Headquarter at Cheung Kwan O Industrial Estate early yesterday morning and arrested 5 top managing editors of the DAILY, which include, Editor-in-Chief, LAW Wai-kwong. This, is a second raid on APPLE DAILY conducted by HK National Security Police with much decisive force than the initial raid in 2020.
Since it's publication in 1995, APPLE DAILY, an only absolute free-media in Hong Kong untainted by ' red capitals ' under the guidance of staunch pro-democracy media tycoon, Jimmy Lai ( now in jail ) have been outspoken about China issue, never feared of throwing sharp criticism, questioning authoritarian regime which is governing China with absolute dictatorship today. APPLE DAILY have since upholding value and idea of PRESS FREEDOM in the former British Colony after the so-called HANDOVER in 1997, Hong Kong's return to the Chinese Communist Party, acting as VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, and voice of the free press under enormous pressure right from the beginning. Meanwhile HKSAR government is intensifying it's political pressure on all voice of objections in the City since the implementation of HK NATIONAL SECURITY LAW in summer of 2020, taking maximum advantage from a cleverly designed POLICE LAW invented by Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, in order to maintain their ONE PARTY DICTATORSHIP in Hong Kong and it's authoritarian rule over all Chinese domain. Fresh move taken by HKSAR under the leadership of Chief Executive Carrie Lam have demonstrated how desperate, Chinese Communists are, to put former British Colony, a ' rebellious city ' under their firm grip and absolute control. And in order to materialize their goal and to gain political interests that only serve Chinese Communist Party, an old style FACISM have come into use, a very convenient OLD-FAITHFUL, a MOP they can use to ' clean up ' the City that they hate so much. In this battle against the STATE-FACISM, a courageous man such as Jimmy Lai, became their NO.1 ENEMY who stand in their way, a serious obstacle in the building and development of a perfect ORWELLIAN STATE without a voice of objection or alternative opinions.
A lying regime, Chinese Communist Party, have shamelessly announced to the World, that in spite of tyrannical rule that they are imposing in Hong Kong, bringing threat and blackmails to the FREE CITIZENS, they are telling to the people that the SINO-BRITISH JOINT DECLARATION and political contract : ONE COUNTRY TWO SYSTEMS are still sound and nothing has been changed but it is only ' getting better ' and ' much more perfect '. Yet it is obvious that every incidents that took place in Hong Kong in last 12 months, series of political prosecution against pro-democracy lawmakers, social activists, students, academics and dissidents, typically, such as prominent international figure, JOSHUA WONG, AGNES CHOW, LEUNG KWOK HUNG and disqualification of pro-democracy parliamentarians, banning of all political rallies only reflect the fact that Chinese Communist Party is writing a word SHAMELESS on their Satan's forehead with their own ink and pen. Yesterday's HONG KONG POLICE' raid under the broad daylight is yet again another vivid example of CULTURAL REVOLUTION STYLE political PURGE, in it's effort to stamp out all oppositions in our society which we once cherished. Political thug is here to stay, it will continue to practice and prosper, and we have no idea how long or how short these BULLIES,PUNKS, HENCHMEN and THUGS will reign over People of Hong Kong. But, as all history have taught us, ALL TYRANNY SHALL END, so was Roman Empire, Nazis Germany of the Thousand Year Reich, and all mighty Japanese Military Empire that once conquered most of Asia in the 20th Century putting all Asians under their boots, killing, raping and destroying.
ALL TYRANNY WILL FAIL AND END ONE DAY.
Hong Kong, was once a most prospering, probably the freest CITY in the World BEFORE 1997 under the rule of British Government. But that day is clearly long OVER. WE Hong Kongers, are now forced to live under the STATE FACISM that terrorize all citizens mentally and physically, bringing threat and fear to our everyday life. Suddenly, a casual word : FREEDOM have become most luxurious vocabulary in our dictionary.
Satan look into our faces with a cold grin telling us that I SHALL RULE YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, but ' Take Heart, I shall overcome the World ', God once said, and WE will patiently await for the DAY of Armageddon when, Christ will throw Satan into an ETERNAL HELL of fire and sulfur.
I firmly believe, that DAY will come, probably sooner than we expected.
Let us wait and see.
