Occupy Central Hong Kong: leave a message on their wall
A massive projector has been set up at Occupy Central Hong Kong.
They have a system whereby you can submit messages to be projected on their actual wall (not a FB thing).

Looks a bit like this (actual size).

Hong Kong protest from the air
This should give you an idea of the scale of the protest.
The footage is from a drone owned by a protester.
*There is no audio (sound) so don’t bother turning up the volume.
Occupy Central Hong Kong
In response to China’s planned erosion of democratic electoral process in the SAR of Hong Kong (China proposing to only allow their approved candidates to stand for election), an occupation has begun.
The people republic of China has always held democratic reforms as being dangerous and unpalatable and to this day many Chinese residents are completely unaware of the Tienanmen square pro democracy protest from 1989 and the gruesome way in which it ended.

Many of the protesters have taken to wearing eye protection with some using a improvised saran wrap (AKA cling film/ glad wrap) as a ‘better than nothing’ protection from presumably noxious gasses that may be released by authorities to break up the protest.
Thousands take to the street in Hong Kong in protest of Chinese government wanting to reduce democratic freedoms.
These guys are smart they are going straight to the heart of the beast, threatening to disrupt banking and finance in Hong Kong.

Pakistani pedophiles rape 1400 kids in 16 years: Rotherham UK
The more disturbing elements to this case are the following:
Authorities refused to act due to fears of being branded a racist, because perpetrators were Pakistani in origin.
Pedophiles were transporting children to be abused in a network style operation.
Fathers attempting to rescue their children were arrested by police.

We end with the words of the god father of modern ‘conspiracy theory’ JFK, He was murdered in broad daylight, but that was just a co-incidence right…
Joko (Jokowi) Widodo
Just to the North of Australia lies a series of islands known as Indonesia, known to Australians as a place of booze and drug filled ‘spring break’ style getaways, and one of the worst places to get on the wrong side of the law.
Having Just had it’s election for president, only the second time a democratic election for the office was announced, for the very first time a non-elite candidate was run and apparently won with 53% of the vote.
A political new comer to the national political scene Joko Widodo (Jokowi) cut his teeth as Governor of Jakarta and previously as Mayor of Solo.
Some commentators as saying he is too close to the much more experienced and politically connected former President Megawati Sukanoputri, and may be unduly influenced by her and her circle.
His presidential election opponent Probowo Subianto ( a more typical Indonesian military strong man president archetype) has called for a recount in a largely symbolic (and slightly sour grapes) move, though the result is unlikely to change.
Joko Widodo made his fortune in the furniture export business, and had flagged infrastructure and heath as major areas for improvement for Indonesia’s 240 Million People.
Significance?
240 Million people on your doorstep have a new political direction.
48 million of them didn’t eat enough today either.
