Pro-Beijing candidates have claimed a victory in Hong Kong’s Legislative Council (LegCo) election, as the city saw its lowest-ever voter turnout.
It was the first LegCo election since China made sweeping and controversial changes to the city’s electoral system.
Officials argue the changes were needed to ensure stability, but critics say they weakened democracy.
On Monday, Beijing also unveiled a statement outlining “democracy with Hong Kong characteristics”.
In a white paper released hours after election results were announced, China said Hong Kong was now entering a new stage of “restored order” as a result of these Beijing-introduced changes.

It looks beatiful. I can’t wait to die in it. Someday, you might find yourself saying these words if you are wealthy enough. You can just hop aboard your jet to Switzerland and buy yourself a suicide pod that will take you through the joy of life and fruition of everything while it kills you.
You can have your last moments in whatever way you like, and then be knocked unconscious and suffocated to death. Afterwards, the thing you died in will be removed. But, don’t worry, that’s your biodegradable coffin. That’s right, you’re being recycled, friend, just as you hoped you would be.
This seems good.
I can’t wait until the public models allow the state to ‘encourage’ the burdensome to pod it, so to speak. You can do it, or pod it, and we, the state, might eventually decide. But that would never happen, right?
The Sarco suicide capsule will be used for assisted suicide. (Credits: Matteor)
The Sarco suicide capsule, to be used in assisted suicide, has passed legal review in Switzerland and may legally be operated in the country.
Switzerland has allowed assisted suicide with unselfish motives since 1942.
Assisted suicide is different from active euthanasia which is still illegal in Switzerland.
However, supplying the means for committing suicide is legal, as long as the action which directly causes death is performed by the one wishing to die.
The ‘Sarco’ machine has been developed by Exit International, a non-profit organisation advocating for the legalisation of voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide.
‘It’s a 3-D printed capsule, activated from the inside by the person intending to die. The machine can be towed anywhere for the death. It can be in an idyllic outdoor setting or in the premises of an assisted suicide organisation, for example,’ ….
Once activated, the capsule floods the interior with nitrogen and rapidly reduces oxygen, causing the individual to lose consciousness and, ultimately, pass away without choking or panicking.
Once the process is complete, the biodegradable capsule can then be detached from the machine’s base in order to serve as the deceased person’s coffin.
As many Democrats, Mayors, Governors among them, call for defunding the police, for giving political protection to arsonists during ‘peaceful riots,’ as they pass laws removing bail as a requirement for holding suspected criminals in jail, the places where they rule with the most control are in the least control of law and order, to the immediate detriment of the citizens these Democrats serve.
The question might then be asked, are Democrats an impediment to Americans being able to defend themselves from the threats that many Democrats are daily working to create through their invectives that are lobbed like molotov cocktails on the innocent and guilty alike.
Do Democrats care about protecting the people who pay their salaries? Don’t look at what they say – what do their actions say? Let’s take a look at what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said about criminals in her home state of New York. Then we’ll look at how her position works out in real life for the taxpayers she is supposed to represent.
Three House Democrats sent a letter to the Big Apple’s five district attorneys Monday demanding answers on how they use cash bail, saying it’s contributing to the ongoing “humanitarian crisis” on Rikers Island.
The letter, sent by Manhattan Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said the lawmakers have “grave concerns that excessive bail amounts” are forcing detainees to languish in unsafe city lockups simply because they cannot afford to pay.
“High bail amounts lead to a two-tiered system of justice, with those who can afford bail…
World Leaders ponder the creation of a world treaty to allow for governments to universally address the rising threat to the world that the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus is, even if it’s not at all sure that it is. Either way, even if Omicron is all contagious and mild symptoms, a reprieve from the daily mullings of wanna-be world rulers fighting over scraps of better than their neighbors is welcome nonetheless
Omicron was the Black Friday surprise no one wanted. But this mysterious and alarming new coronavirus variant has injected itself into a global debate about vaccine inequality and pandemic responses at a potentially crucial moment.
Less than a week after the new variant was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) by South Africa, global leaders met Monday to discuss the creation of a new international agreement to better deal with historic outbreaks — what some advocates have dubbed a “pandemic treaty.” The special session of the World Health Assembly (WHA), only the second ever held by the WHO’s governing body, is expected to last until Wednesday.
It appears Jeff Bezos’ progressive-powered Amazon is having problems living up to the full code of social justice. Efforts to unionize Amazon workers have been met with failure, but no one has come closer than the Alabama facility in pulling it off. A recent election where Amazon got the result the wanted (union vote failed) has been declared null and void by the NLRB and will have to be run all over again.
See, folks, sometimes people cheat to win elections. It’s true.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 29 (Reuters) – A regional director for the U.S. National Labor Relations Board has issued a decision ordering a re-run of a union election at an Amazon.com facility in Alabama, a spokeswoman for the NLRB said on Monday.
The SUV that killed 6, including one child, and injured 48, including scores of children, has a long history of violence, arrest records reveal. Of course, we’re referring to the SUV formerly known as Darrell Brooks, the DNC-supporting fundamentalist that appears to have taken “social justice” into his own hands, targeting whites for their sins, as per the DNC-sponsored, inspired, supported, and flamed narrative that white people invented evil.
Of course Darrell Brooks is no SUV, but the DNC-corp media would have you believe an accidental SUV accidently bumped into a few white people but everything’s fine, hey look, a new Coronavirus variant!

The era of Conglomo continues full pace, where Empires of international mega corps get in the business of everything. Amazon, which flies now, that is, to space, is now also looking to expand its hold on the NFL by becoming the lead minority state in the NFL’s media properties, which coincides with a bid to get more games on Amazon Prime.
What that last ten years has taught us, if anything, it’s that putting the means of cultural and social production in the hands of the few, especially a particualr few that don’t fundamentally share our American values, is a fantastic idea, so we’re sure this whole Corporate Everything way of creating social and cultural value is going to work out just fine, like it has so far.
Amazon has emerged as the frontrunner to buy a minority stake in the NFL’s media properties, sources tell Front Office Sports.
The tech giant is in talks with the country’s richest sports league about acquiring up to a 49% stake in NFL Network, RedZone and NFL.com, said sources.
But the Amazon deal isn’t done and there are multiple media, private equity and tech bidders seeking a piece of the NFL media empire, said sources. A last-minute snag could push a final agreement back by several months, warned another source.
Wisconsin Parents are accusing the school district of aggressively pushing their daughter to become a transgendered boy. The school district chose to address the child as a boy and by a boy’s name without the parents’ permission. The school district is assuming parental authority and the parents are saying that Americans still have parental rights over their children, not government schools.
A Wisconsin school district addressed a 12-year-old female student using both a male name and male pronouns against her parents’ objections, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
Filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and Alliance Defending Freedom in the Waukesha County Circuit Court, the lawsuit alleges that Kettle Moraine School District violated the constitutionally protected rights of the girls’ parents and pushed the 12-year-old towards a significant life decision she was not prepared to make.
Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Kate Anderson told The Daily Signal Tuesday evening that the Wisconsin case reflects policies the legal organization has seen in states across the country, including Wisconsin, Virginia, and Washington state.
“Parents have the right to direct the upbringing of their children, and at the heart of it, parents just want information about what’s going on with their kids at school,” Anderson said….
A Japanese grandmother was upset at her 69 year old husband, so she tossed a water bottle at him, strking him in the back of the head. She then left her Tokyo apartment, returning 5 hours later to find her husband unconscious. She also apparently broke one of his ribs by hitting her with the water bottle, which, it should be noted, was filled with water.
Was this an accidental merc by bottle or did this woman lose her mind, or is she a serial abuser and her husband is one of many men who suffer in silence from such abuse? The article does not offer answers to any of these questions. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t even ask them. It does claim she admitted to assaulting him, but she blamed ‘caregive fatigue.’
Police in Tokyo have arrested a 70-year-old woman on suspicion of killing her 69-year-old ailing husband by hitting him with a plastic bottle filled with water.
According to police, Michiko Ota hit her husband Ryuichi in the face and back with a one-liter bottle of water at their apartment at around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sankei Shimbun reported. After hitting her husband, Ota went out and returned about five hours later to find her husband in an unconscious state.
Ota called 119 and Ryuichi was taken to hospital, where he died later that day. Police said he had suffered a fractured rib and other injuries.
