McDonald's has a home under the umbrella. I'm thinking each of those window A/C units represents a separate living space? No wonder they're pissed. From a Globalist/satanist perspective though I see lots of useless eaters. I suppose this is the same perspective you will find in the halls of power at Beijing.
I also enjoy WB'S Flickr flicks many of which remind me of my R&R time in Taiwan which I would suggest as an alternative to HK if need be. Take some great shots of the Ju Ming museum/garden sculpture and . . . well, that's about all. Do hope things work out in HK.
you have to feel for the residents of HK, they are going through the same denigration of their democracy that we in the US have been submitted to since? LBJ? i guess freedom was never supposed to work, and honesty and ethics were never a matter for the unwashed masses. at least there the government overtly demands the right to vette the candidates, while in the US its all a mystery. we get to pretend a few more years, but pretending with obama is not much fun at all.
Hi WB7 - Brilliant. It really helps me visualize the profoundly human aspect of these events. Thank you for these images. Good Luck and God Speed!
William,
Some 30 years ago I was witness to a discussion regarding the Hong Kong and Taiwan diplomatic strategies taken by the United States (and also Britain, the 'paper tiger' of that time. Seems that CONUS is now taking on that role, by the way...).
ANYWAY, the general consensus was that the Totalitarian Communist Chinese would rise via 'democratizing'; and the 'Western States' would not only let down their guard, but also begin to fail in their ability to 'protect' not only Hong Kong, but the entire region from the totalitarian enslavement. Remember, this was 30 years ago, and the people speaking couldn't fathom their OWN enslavement at this time by those same forces. Most of these people are now dead, or in hiding now.
When the AWACS aircraft was forced down by the Chinese back (what was it, 1998, during 'CLINTON') a few years ago and they reverse-engineered EVERY TECHNOLOGY, I saw that this was possible (and that our nation was truly infested as well). The Hughes/Loral nuclear missile training deal with the Russians was bad enough...
The upshot of the discussion was that the Chinese would probably move in and take over with MILITARY FORCE, and that the CONUS would be TOO BUSY ELSEWHERE to be able to respond (shortly before the total defeat with extreme prejudice of the United States). Of course, I was simply one of the CHILDREN of these 'think-tankers' who were discussing a scenario that might or might not happen, and my own I.Q. (way back when they wanted to harvest me by engraciating me) was actually 20-30 points higher than some of those present. I never was that good of an artist, though. I was 'competent', I suppose (like Hitler was called).
THIS IS NO 'BULLSHIT STORY', William. You don't know me, and I don't know you (except via internet), so you can easily discount anything I state.
THEY despise people who can smile, or wear bright colors. Conformity and the loss of the individual (in service of the State) are the short-term goals of their never-ending enslavement and eradication of the HUMAN RACE, William. Fake lines in the road and plastic barricades and 'obedient subservient drones' with soulless faces are only the FIRST and SECOND and THIRD steps in the overall goal.
I KNOW that I'm on the 'list'. I'm really not worried about it, though. I pray that you and family follow steps given by Providence; even if these steps involve things that are counterintuitive to the 'natural actions' that you think should be taken.
If you have a sudden urge to get the fuck OUT of Hong Kong, ask for a sign, and when the sign is given, trust what you have seen.

17 'talking points', huh?
Not bad. Not bad, at all...
I think you should 'run with it'.
If HITLERY had sucked the presidential PENIS instead of a Zionist 'Goyim' implant named 'LEWINSKY'...
Hillary Rodham was kicked off of the official selection of the Watergate Congressional hearings due to the fact that she was corrupted as a (by a) Lawyer in other dealings that brought her credibility into question. This was back in 1973. NINETEEN-FUCKING SEVENTY-THREE. FORTY-ONE YEARS AGO.
The plane WAS forced down AFTER BUSH the YOUNGER took office. Good catch.
I'm pretty sure William will be OK. We both legally married females from countries/provinces other than the US or Hong Kong if we were to run. I doubt we males are going anywhere though.
WELL...
Good on you!
I have married females as well (and bedded more than I care to speak of before committing). One ended up being from the Planet Prozac, and one was from the Jack Daniels cluster (I was stupid; not once, but TWICE). It didn't work out too well in either case. No STD's, though.
I have a WASP neighbor who's 92, with a Phillipino wife who's 56. He likes to reload his own ammunition and refuses to buy Toyotas, and she makes some of the best egg rolls that I have ever had the opportunity to eat. I try to be generous to them, but they supplant me at every turn. When it comes to political discussions, they are as weak as most others, though.
I speak the truth in matters here.
I was always fond of old John Wayne movies, but they were a FANTASY.
Your 'females from other states/provinces' will no doubt be thinking of your survival over their own when the shit hits the fan. Of COURSE they will. YEAH. RIGHT. I'd be cautious of entrusting a woman with your own survival, though. That's YOUR job (as a male, to take care of the females and children).

MS,
Sorry to hear of your misadventure with the Asian Persuasion. I have been married to a Filipina for 23 years, and she has been the best person for me to have married. Strong family ties; and doesn't do drugs, alcohol, or sleep around. She reminds me of the values we Americans once had. Her beauty also has not faded as the years fly by.
One word of caution to our friend William however; don't ever trust a woman recommended by a taxi driver.
What's worse, is that they can't determine which master they're serving.
WB7, I just want to express my thanks for you sharing your brilliant work with us all for free. I have no idea how you can put so much time into this, and can appreciate the laughs and wisdom in your work. For that I really want to thank you. Had I the financial resources, I would start an establishment with your artwork, (I hope someone can), but for me, my resources are very limited. You have done a great favor for the 'publishing world', and I will do my best to get a couple of copies from you this year for holiday gifts. I wish I could do more but it is the most I can do at this time, and again thank you for sharing your outstanding work with us all.
Thanks again for making my day (and others) a more enjoyable! Thanks to ZH as well for publishing this outstanding work.
+1 to you Lumberjack. Nothing is for free my friend. WB7's threads are not normal ZH threads. Save up a few fiats and buy a print and I would advise that you look further into his work as an artist and a photographer.
I have a bit of tendency to do some photography myself. Don't always look at William's photoshops politico stuff and forget about his actual photo shots. The man knows what a camera is for and he can use any camera and take a great shot. Look at his flickr site.
I am forever grateful to all who have the wherewithal to help me continue with what I am doing.
I understand that everyone does not have the ability to acquire prints and appreciate their moral support as well.
They can go look at some snapshots on your flickr too. Life is all not about making money. Some shots are just really neat to look at.
WB7 is a member of The Fight Club, you know.

WB7 IS 'Tyler Durden'. Well, ONE of the Tylers, anyway...
What's your opinion of the ORIGINAL and NON-SECULARIZED (and non-MSM-fucked) people who founded and began and ORIGINATED the REAL 'Occupy Wall Street' protests? 13 days, you know, before the controlled MSM could even BOTHER to COUNTER this movement...
That 'hashtag shit 'all of a sudden 'showed up', and SUDDENLY, TWITTER got the '#OWS' feed; and the commiesymplants and agent-provocetuers began MOVING IN... the 'GREENIE-WEENIES' and the 'ALGOREANS' and the 'VEGANS' and the 'SOCIALISTS' and the like...
Was it because one video in particular; and ONE SPEECH during this time went VIRAL?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIpJJGiP26A
Before the Gookletube counter was reset, this speech went up to more that THIRTY MILLION VIEWS in just the CONUS, by the way.
WB7 is a voice in the wilderness. I watch and listen as well, and try as he does.
This shot just blows my mind. https://www.flickr.com/photos/expd/15203629100/in/photostream/ I have vertigo now. Nice photo work William.
Nice photo essay William, I enjoyed the tour!!
It shows the discord and incongruence in the governed v. the governors

William...I knew you would not be able to stay away when you posted previously how dangerous it is for ex-pats to be involved.
Best wishes and stay safe as you make your rounds.
Enjoyed the shots on what I assume was the Star Ferry not long ago. It wasn't very crowded, so I guess the MTR has taken most of the business. Pleasant memories of Kowloon adventures.
The situation mushroomed dramatically. Impossible to avoid these two venues if you live in Kowloon. Central and Causeway Bay are two other ones. Smack in the middle of daily life.
The government complex is a different matter. By being there you are violating Police directives. I have no intention of going there.

"The government complex is a different matter. By being there you are violating Police directives. I have no intention of going there."
I mean, WB7, you are actually looking at your posts and seeing what everyone else is seeing?
The government complex is a 'DIFFERENT' matter.
By BEING THERE you are violating 'POLICE DIRECTIVES'.
D'ya KEN, LADDIE?
I remember watching radicals in Japan years ago. They came to their protest venues in trucks armed with banners on bamboo poles...bamboo poles that happened to have banners attached.
This is strictly a non-violent protest movement.

Thanks for posting, stay safe.
Beautiful image, WB.
"The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents."
It's a blessing and a curse.
Cheers.
Jb
actually the mind can do the correlations, it is the
conclusions reached by making the correlations
that are repugnant to the ass, that is the problem.
.
if it weren't for fear we wouldn't have
any economy at all. (think global police force) and
general hysteria spread by word of corporate interests.
the thing is, there is sane fear and insane fear. one of them
is your best friend, the other is someone
else's best friend and your mortal enemy.
good luck with the fear based economy and culture.
among other things it promotes real shitty pop music.
.
it is rife with shortsighted miscalculations,
malinvestment and bad judgement then
it ends in ubiquitous death and doom, spoiler alert.
.
the end of perspective bias and time.
.
on the ride we cycle
from ecstasy
, despair
and the in bet ween,
perspective bias
the pale horse,
mounted to make claims
on what is seen.
.
was that the light from
other realms traveled
so far to here,
or just the heart and mind
breathing in the air?
.
the question never really arose
of it's own
"who sent you here".
to sit facing Orion's belt,
screaming into your early mooring dark
sky.
you can not get small enough
to see the big picture, quiet enough
to hear all the music.
.
this he dreamed and lay waiting
for death to do it's kindness, what it
will always do, remove the foundation
and underpinning that binds the man
to the ground.
god speed

US Now Admits it is Funding Hong Kong Strife: "Occupy Central"
and now the streets roamed by mobs...
WB, great stuff, always. Thanks for sharing.
Two intersections. Mongkok and Causeway Bay. The charging mobs you see are obviously goon squads.
However, there are decent people who are trying to make a living and are adversely affected by all of this in a very substantial way. Their patience is being tested, but their immediate inclination is to make noise not rumble.
Mongkok is literally triad Central. Any situation drawing unusual Police presence and impacting street traffic impacts their operations dramatically. You know where that leads.
You have to understand that these kinds of organizations are like the church. They operate everywhere. That does not mean they are responsible for everything that happens everywhere. By and large, they are feckless opportunists who should mind their own business.
The American Chamber of Commerce, for example, and all the multinationals and banksters are very happy to leave China as it is: The golden goose that lays the globalist eggs. They have a very big say in what the US does as a matter of policy. They make the loudest noises when they are blocked from commercial access. Political chaos is not good for their business.
The vast majority of what is published about China and Hong Kong is written by motor mouths who think they know it all and know absolutely nothing.
I live here and I make no pretense of being an expert. And as I have said many times. My policy on the ground is to mind my own business.
I decided to post these images simply because I the internet is now inundated and I see something with the camera beyond the visual news cliches.
If you want to follow what is going on now I suggest The Big Lychee.
