Hong Kong's Chief Executive Publicly Tells Citizens to "Act More Like Sheep"
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Hong Kong’s unpopular chief executive has infuriated pro-democracy campaigners by using a Chinese New Year message to urge the former colony’s citizens to act more “like sheep”.
“In the coming year, I hope that all people in Hong Kong will take inspiration from the sheep’s character and pull together in an accommodating manner to work for Hong Kong’s future.”
In case his message had been missed, Mr Leung noted that the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac had 12 individual “character types”. “Sheep are widely seen to be mild and gentle animals living peacefully in groups,” he said.
– From the Telegraph article: Hong Kong leader tells people to act like ‘sheep’
This is simply a spectacular admission from a clueless authoritarian. No wonder things are so volatile in Hong Kong with this clown in charge. Rather than quieting the mood, CY Leung’s comments are more likely to infuriate the island’s youth and strength their resolve. Not smart.
From the Telegraph:
Hong Kong’s unpopular chief executive has infuriated pro-democracy campaigners by using a Chinese New Year message to urge the former colony’s citizens to act more “like sheep”.
In a brief video address commemorating the start of Year of the Sheep, CY Leung said sheep-like behavior was required in the wake of the turbulence caused by last year’s street protests.
“In the coming year, I hope that all people in Hong Kong will take inspiration from the sheep’s character and pull together in an accommodating manner to work for Hong Kong’s future.”
In case his message had been missed, Mr Leung noted that the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac had 12 individual “character types”. “Sheep are widely seen to be mild and gentle animals living peacefully in groups,” he said.
“He has every intention of gobbling up Hong Kong for his Beijing master,” said Claudia Mo, a pro-democracy legislator, noting how Mr Leung’s detractors knew him as “the wolf”.
Ma Ngok, a political scientist, told the South China Morning Post, the comment was “not smart”.
Ya think?
As Edward R. Murrow noted:
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”

Bullish slaughter...
sheep get sheared
sheep go to heaven.
goats go to hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzKUzRJUzQ0
“Sheep are widely seen to be mild and gentle animals living peacefully in groups”
amen to that.
The guy who created the cartoon forgot to label the man "GOVERNMENT" and the dog "MEDIA".
This poor bastard has a lot to learn and could use some exceptional advice.
Common language like affordable, fair share, hope, change, yolo, peace, constitutional, just to name a few, would greatly help his agenda.
He could then just shit all over it and still be referred by sheeple as "dear chief executive" because it would be racist not to.
LMFAO!!!!
And in USSA, Obamney (Team Red/Blue), demands Amerikans behave more like lemmings!
*"Tell me Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming? I'll eat your liver with so e fava beans & a nice Chianti..."
Sheep may go to heaven, but it's up to the lions and shepards to direct them there.
As well as directing the wolves in sheeps clothing to the "other" place ;-)
These sheep are different. They have nuclear weapons and the world's largest army.
The sheep don't have the nuclear weapons. The flock owners have them to make sure no one steals any of their sheep.
I think most people are unaware of the derivation of your nick.
This chinese authority expresses only verbatim what our authorities think. Sincere, in a sense.
Sheep protest! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcE5aDTszrY&spfreload=10
Sheep go to Heaven; BUT...
In the interim, life is gonna be a REAL bitch for them! VEAL CUTLETS, anyone?
In a 'democracy', two wolves and a sheep agree to the dinner menu. In a 'republic', the sheep has a gun. In a totalitarian economic dictatorship, the wolves MAKE the sheep think that he's safe (while disarming him for his 'own good'); and strike when the sheep feels 'comfortable'.
I see a future of shitloads of blood and wool on the shearing floor. If the sheep need to endure hell before getting to heaven, what's the fucking POINT?
The fucking CEO of Hong-kong and Shanghai Banking Cartel (oh, sorry, Hong Kong's 'Chief Executive') is setting up the sheople for an 'interest rate rise', I see. It's for their 'OWN GOOD', you know.
Sheep believe there is a heaven.
"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. . . "
Slaughter is the best medicine.
"Be more docile, compliant and obedient... like the Americans."
Bah. Baaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
LITHIUM!

The Year of Sheep...how appropriate. How about the year of the pitbull!
is there an ass in that zodiac, um...... yes there is
I love it. An entire continent full of people so concerned about conformity they can never admit when something is fucked up. So concerned about their social standing they could never admit a mistake has been made. No wonder they are a culture of copy-cats and always will be.
Ain't that the truth. America is so fucked up. Fat,drunk and stupid, it stumbles on.
SHIT.
I thought the comment was about the 'Eurozone'.
WAIT:
The story had to do with East Asia, didn't it? The British Rothchild Banking Cartel took them over and waged the China Opium Wars from this 'Hong Kong' place, back in the 1800's, didn't they? TWICE?
I NEVER KNEW that Hong Kong and England were both considered 'continents'!
THAT's why I come to ZH! To learn WORLD GEOGRAPHY!
Sadly, the whole world is one continent now, just like before.
Go long on Dinosaurs.
Will that be lamb chops, rack of lamb or roast leg of lamb Mr. Lecter?
All Kosher, eh?
Coincidence? I think not.
Its year of the sheep. Taken out of context.
There is no sheep in the Chinese zodiac. Although perhaps now there is. Worldwide.
year of the sheep as in the photo above
the wolf is about to make his move
obama sets trap
swords of ISIS
here we go! <SHAKES HEAD> Sheep doesn't have the same meaning in Chiense zodiac. Shame on ZH for running this sory.
Speaking of ISIS, ISIS = Israel Secret Intelligence Service.
Of course
according to the ZH Koran
You've been here 42 weeks and you can call out what everyone thinks already....
This is an interesting story because it shows how distractions have become the main focus.
The last thing that will cure perpetual debt is antropomorphism.
For a high government official to ask people to be like animals is wrong on many levels both in a metaphorical and literal sense.

Heeps of sheeps.
I guess androids do dream of electric sheep.
Is there an app for that...??
Shaun the Sheep – Second Teaser Trailer
Somebody in Hong Kong must be heavily invested in a movie to be launched in Spring of 2015. Bhaaa, Bhaaa.
I thought that in the Chinese Zodiac that this is the Year of the Ram? There is this book written by a guy named John of Patmos
that talked about the Dragon acting as a Ram at the end of the age but speaking softly as a Sheep. But nah, that must all be hogwash...
For zodiac fans - Based on solar cycles the age of Pisces ended in 2012. Also the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac.
2012 was an end of an age not the end of the world. But I hedge and encourage others to do so because it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Calling People Sheeple is an insult to Sheep... Then again, f*ck sheep since they taste delicious on the bbq.
He conveniently neglects to mention that the chinese character for sheep can also be translated as goat.
Mountain goats are aggressive creatures. Ever gotten headbutted by one before?
No.
I don't allow them on my lawn.
People in HK have always been sheep anyway. Every year I can notice the hairstyle & fashion trends, hobbies, etc.
I dun see anything different in the West, most are just as clueless and lamb to the slaughter. Thing is in countries like the US, they are run by Zionists and owned by Zionists, whereas China is not run by the Zionists. Now who acts more like the sheep???
I see you are wearing the default tin foil hat.
another clueless and moronic article. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CHINESE CULTURE OR ITS ZODIAC why the fark comment.
OK, why don't you get the CE to say be like a WOLF and ACT LIKE A TRAITOR (Typical fascist/nazi traits). That would make the author not only happy but moronically satisfied.
Clearly you are clueless about chinese culture and what the CNY means to its people.
Yea every tom dick and harry has his opinions, but if you dunno jack shit about something, keep your shit trap shut!
Clearly you are clueless about the metaphysical and spiritual meaning of what a sheep is. Sheep transcends all cultures, eras and circumstances. The properties of sheep are immutable and absolute.
and maybe you live on Mars as the context of the flipping article is Chinese. darrrrrrr. MORONIC lunar New Year comments abound.
All I would say is I like to wish every ZH'er a prosperous and healthy year of the sheep/lamb/ram.
Easy to judge others when you cannot see your own predicaments. Be wise instead of stupid and understand there is more than one world view on the planet.
Well, analyzing an Asian country with Western thinking pretty relevant...
It would be curious how they analyze us: lazy, rebellious, can't mind their own business and constantly meddling in other people affair, weird and decadent mores, constantly seeking disharmony, whining at several millions (like true sheep this time) "I'm Charlie", sucking their Zio master hairy dick and be happy with it, then saying "I'm freeeeeeeeee" !!!
At least a politician was honest about what they want. Just wait until they finally come for their wool.
