[RIG 2024] Hong Kong : Le contrôle subtil de Pékin

Hong Kong, territoire attractif avec plus de 52 millions de touristes en 2023, met en avant ses paysages de carte postale et ses skylines à perte de vue. Un dynamisme urbain et une richesse culturelle marquée par son héritage chinois et britannique. Surnommée “Perle de l’Orient” pour sa beauté et sa vitalité économique, la ville est considérée comme le joyau de la région. La réalité, elle, est…

Voici le visage du commissaire du peuple délégué à la censure pour la France, visa d’exploitation UE n°8563447. Cette sympathique tête d’abruti porte de nombreuses casquettes, toutes déformées par sa macrocéphalie gênante et sa réthorique de jésuite marxiste. 

Il s’appelle Christophe Deloire et il est à la tête (haha) de Reporters Sans Frontières, la fameuse assoce qui contribua, en des temps reculés, à la défense de quelques correspondants, photographes et autres reporters menacés, engeôlés, torturés... parfois butés. On se souvient d’ailleurs que son co-fondateur, l’affreuse girouette Ménard, y agit pendant de longues et néanmoins utiles années. ONG de terrain à sa création, “RSF” est progressivement devenue une sorte de chapelle morale à la con pour gauchiste en phase de recyclage, profil 45/55 ans, directeur des rédactions, déjà un divorce, une bicoque à Ré et les gosses HP en garde partagée. Aujourd’hui, “RSF” est une petite usine à gaz armée d’un budget annuel de huit millions d’euros (subventions publiques, mécénat et “fondations” sorosiennes à hauteur de 80 %), finançant la bagatelle de trois millions de “ressources humaines”. C’est vous dire si on est contents pour eux, leurs émoluments et leurs notes de frais. 

Cependant, notre carriériste ne se contente pas de ce job, car il est aussi directeur et vice-président du Centre de Formation des Journalistes, sorte de Saint Cyr pour futurs encartés du mainstream, escabeau vers la dynamique cooptatrice si chère à nos élites. Last but not least – comme écrivent encore les rescapés de la presse des années 2000, il a récemment été désigné pour occuper la tête des États Généraux de l’Information, énième pustule macroniste sensée réfléchir à la meilleure façon de bâillonner tout ce qui ne récite pas correctement la doxa informationnelle.

Ce tout petit Monsieur, cette authentique pompe à merde pour paraphraser Magritte dans son adresse à un critique acerbe, a conduit de main assurée une opération contre l’Arcom, via le Conseil d’État, au motif que la chaîne CNnews dérogerait de manière éhontée à la nécessaire représentation, sur son antenne, de sensibilités politiques diversifiées. Oui, CNews ne proposerait qu’une longue succession d’éditos et de pseudo-débats ultra fachos, indignes de la rayonnante démocratie française. Ne serait-il pas temps de sucrer leur fréquence à ces fumiers réacs, pense en substance ce petit Béria de bac à sable ? Cependant, es-tu certain de ne pas t’être trompé de cible ? Ne pensais-tu pas plutôt à la totalité des médias du service dit public ? Franchement, on se demande quel genre de promesse on a bien pu te faire pour que tu t’abaisses à ce point. Au pouvoir qui nous accable, tu sers le plat le plus dégueulasse qui soit, celui de la censure d’épuration, celle qui traduit un désir de vengeance amère. Ce qui te fait chier, Christophe Deloire, c’est qu’un média que tu ne pourras jamais contrôlé – et qui dit le contraire de ta Pravda publique en exposant les faits de la réalité de ce pays, puisse encore seulement respirer et laisse respirer des millions de Français. Ces Français-là – qui représentent quand même plus de la moitié des suffrages exprimés – te conchient, toi et ta clique de plumitifs vendus à un projet extra-territorial dont tu sers les desseins absurdes en pensant honorer tes vieilles lunes socialistes. 

Tu voudrais vivre comme Robespierre mais tu as peur de l’échafaud, tu voudrais mourir comme Marat mais tu ne te feras qu’enculer sous la douche. Pauvre toi, petit homoncule au crâne rempli de sérum égalitaire. Tu te crois pur et vertueux alors qu’il suffit d’observer ton regard vide pour comprendre que tu agis sur le seul fil de ton ambition démesurée. Ton envie de nuire est inversement proportionnelle à la taille de ta bite. Comment je le sais ? Sur le plateau de CNews où tu pensais pouvoir faire le bravache, tu t’es retrouvé le slip sur les chevilles, bizuté par d’ignobles nazis en colère. J’ai bien ri à observer ton désarroi. Tout compte fait, je te remercie pour ce moment passé chez ton vieux pote Bolloré.

Sooooo ummmmmmm this is something that's probably going to piss a lot of people off, but I feel like I really need to say it.

If you get a message from an account claiming to be a Palestinian fundraiser, it is a bot. It is a scam. You need to report & delete the message and encourage others to do the same.

I know because I get messages on this account DAILY. I have a very high follower count and I'm pretty active and I interact with my followers a lot, and apparently that all adds up to one big bot magnet.

Bots following and messaging this account was a MASSIVE problem before Tumblr fixed its new account policies. I used to spend literally hours blocking and reporting the hundreds of bots that I would get following me each day.

I learned a lot about bots and how to identify them. The easiest way is with no avatar, "untitled" in the blog description (BTW if your avatar is still set to default PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD change it because you run a substantial risk of being accidentally blocked & reported as a bot).

One of the dead give aways of a bot was what I call "word salad" names. Three seemingly random words strung together making no sense, always adjective, adjective or noun, noun. If you reported a lot of these bots, you'd notice the same words kept showing up.

Nowadays, I am bombarded with fundraiser requests and sometimes, they don't even bother to hide the fact that they're a bot. The avatar is default, the blog title is "untitled," and the blog name is a classic randomly-generated word salad.

However MOST of the requests I get come from at least semi-legit looking accounts. There are pictures, a name, a story. Never mind that I've gotten that message three times from different accounts.

Sometimes, they claim to be vetted, but the whole vetting system essentially adds up to "trust me bro." There is no way of guaranteeing that this account isn't just lying about being vetted, claiming to be vetted by a false person, or are using the identity of a real Palestinian to scam people.

Previously, I've seen a lot of people getting attacked for raising questions about these fundraisers and getting attacked for being racist or for harming Palestinian families in danger, like Tumblr isn't a website famous for its scams and the words "The Arkh Project" "All or Nothing" or "Miss Officer and Mr. Truffles" mean nothing to you.

I personally have been scammed by people claiming to be charities on Tumblr before, specifically, The Leelah Project which used the name of a trans teenager who died by suicide to swindle people out of their money.

Luckily, there are actual, respected charities out there you can give money to if you want to help the cause:

Palestinian Children's Relief Fund

Palestine Red Crescent Society

United Nations Relief Works Agency

Islamic Relief

World Central Kitchen

Médecins Sans Frontièrs

One of the hardest things to accept about the situation in Palestine is that realistically, there is very little that your average outsider can do to change it. However, these large, well-respected and trustworthy charities are out there doing the hard work to keep people alive, and should be where the donation money is going

These scam bots feed on people's naïvety and need to believe that they are making a difference, and even worse, feed on the fear that by ignoring them, it somehow makes you a racist doing direct harm to a refugee family, when in fact they are using the suffering of Palestinians to take away money from those in need.

As far as fundraisers that don't send out random asks for donations, I honestly don't know. You'll have to do the work yourself and approach with much caution.

Be careful out there.

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a pediatric intensive care physician who works with Médecins Sans Frontières and co-founded @GazaMedicVoices, has emerged as one of the most prominent voices raising the alarm about the hell Israel has created for Gaza’s healthcare workers. Mary Turfah: Yesterday, I came across a report of a third mass grave unearthed at Al-Shifa Hospital. One month ago, as the first mass graves there were being uncovered, you were interviewed by Sky News. The anchor cited Israeli military sources saying that they had detained “hundreds of Hamas militants” within the complex, then asked you what you thought of that. Could you speak to your response to him, and to this persistent obsession with “militants at Al-Shifa,” when not a single hospital in Gaza has been spared, and when there have been mass graves [seven in total to date] uncovered at multiple hospitals in Gaza? Tanya Haj-Hassan: Yeah. I think my response was something to the effect of, I can’t believe we’re still having this conversation. Everybody from a medical or humanitarian background is so sick of having to respond to these atrocious, preposterous justifications that are being provided for things that are never justifiable. I thought the Hamas and Al-Shifa question was buried a long time ago. There were several weeks where that’s all we were asked about in interviews. There were multiple investigations done that concluded no credible evidence existed to justify the attacks on Al-Shifa. And then, Al-Shifa was targeted again, besieged again. Then, eventually, Al-Shifa started functioning again. The staff were so proud of the fact that they got it functioning again. That second time, the hospital was again besieged and targeted. A lot of the staff were taken out into the courtyard of the hospital, where the male staff were stripped. Israeli soldiers beat several of the healthcare providers. A very, very senior person at Al Shifa, an older doctor, was eventually released and came on foot to Al-Aqsa Hospital. And immediately, he went back to work. I was at Al-Aqsa Hospital when he turned up disheveled, beard down to here, exhausted, having lost I don’t know how many kilos, hadn’t seen his family for five months, didn’t have a phone, didn’t have proper shoes, didn’t have proper clothes. They fled with basically nothing. And many of the other healthcare providers who were taken outside with him were abducted. I think his testimonies of what happened and the amount of work they had put into getting Al-Shifa functioning again made the question of the Sky News anchor even more infuriating. Because that’s the reality I had just come out of, and to hear him then ask a health professional who had spent the last few weeks resuscitating dead and dying children that have been maimed to an extent that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget—even though I think for my own well-being, it would probably be good if I would forget some of those images—I found it so insulting. Insulting to me, to the healthcare providers who had risked their lives to stay at Al-Shifa, who had lost 25 percent of their body weight, who were exhausted. Insulting to the health care providers who had been killed at Al-Shifa, fleeing from Al-Shifa, to the civilians who were executed there. It’s insulting to our intellect. It’s insulting to humanity

MT: Last week, it was revealed that Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, a renowned orthopedic surgeon in Gaza, was tortured to death inside of Israeli prisons, according to eyewitness testimony, after he had been abducted from the hospital where he was providing life-saving care, back in December. Hundreds of medical workers have been killed to date, and many more injured. You said in one interview that doctors and healthcare workers are changing out of their scrubs before leaving the hospital so that they’re not targeted. On top of this, the doctors in Gaza have been working basically nonstop for 215 days. As someone who has worked in Gaza, I was wondering if you could say a bit about what your colleagues are facing day-to-day. THH: I want to start with the abduction of healthcare workers, because it’s so underreported, to the point where myself and my colleagues, medical providers working our own jobs, are doing the investigative work. They’re systematic. There have been at least 240 abductions documented by our group— MT: 240?! THH: At least 240, and I’m not talking about what’s reported by the Ministry of Health, which I believe is an even higher number. We documented that at least 240 healthcare workers have been abducted and detained by Israeli forces, the majority of whom have not been released. And the ones who have been released are providing testimonies of torture, of themselves but also the torture that they’ve witnessed. I’ve taken testimonies. One, a three-hour-long testimony about the torture inflicted on [my friend,] a nurse, for 53 days in custody, accusing him of being part of Hamas, of his family being part of Hamas, even though the fact that he was released tells you he wasn’t part of Hamas. Given the extent to which he was tortured, I’m surprised that he survived. And he has not survived with his physical and mental health intact. He has scars, he has nightmares. He had hematuria, so bleeding when he urinated, for weeks after he was released.

Please read this interview as it sheds light on the horrors doctors, nurses, and other medical workers in Gaza have endured

Alive And Well, Thanks To RSF!!!

Last March I wrote about Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor/producer (at that time) at Russia’s state television Channel One.  On that evening back in March, in the midst of the nightly live news (propaganda) program, she had burst onto the set behind the news anchor yelling, “Stop the war.
