BBC: China's protests: Blank paper becomes the symbol of rare demonstrations
So often one item comes to symbolise an entire protest movement. In China, that item is a humble piece of blank paper.
As dusk fell on Shanghai on Sunday evening, some of those who gathered at a vigil to remember the victims of a fire that catalysed the demonstrations came clutching sheets of paper.
Similarly, in the capital Beijing, protesters came armed with scraps of paper to a demonstration at Beijing's prestigious Tsinghua University, once attended by President Xi Jinping.

WNU Editor: What sparked these protests in China was an apartment fire in northwest China’s Xinjiang province that killed 10 .... 10 killed in apartment fire in northwest China’s Xinjiang (AP). Protesters say it was because people were locked in their apartments that they could not escape the fire. The authorities are denying these claims. But Chinese social media is exposing this as a lie, and many are now posting videos on how they are being locked in their homes (see tweet below):

ReplyDeleteThe US seriously needs Blank Paper protests
ReplyDelete"Washington D.C. may appear small compared to some other major cities, but it’s a vast hive of careerists, contractors, consultants, lobbyists and activists all scurrying around the stone and glass buildings, the eateries and shops, whose relationships to each other are as entangled as they are hostile to us. As George Carlin once said, "
“it’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”
"And parts beyond, into the European Union, which helped contribute to Russiagate.
Since Smith’s leg was broken after a bicycle accident (a hazard in the Biden administration), he’ll be running the investigation of Trump from Europe. And no one finds it odd that an investigation of a former president will operate from the capital of the European Union.
But it’s not like we run our own country anyway."
Look at these quotes and ask yourself if they are not true?
*** "but it’s an act of public service to the political network that runs D.C."
*** "but Smith was just doing his job. Not on our behalf, but for those who had put him in his role."
WNU can say whatever he wants. WNU could never get an America as depressed as Daniel Greenfield speaking the truth.
America is broke dick
