Victory or Fire: Thatโs the Plan for Hong Kong
Pepe Escobar has been doing exemplary work in recent months covering the ins and outs of Asian politics. His latest article covers the โBlack Bloc,โ their tactics and whoโs likely behind them in Hong Kong.
The goal? Break Hong Kong by breaking the peg of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar.
The goal is to thoroughly undermine Chinaโs standing on the world stage and raise that of the U.S. This is economic warfare, itโs a hybrid war tactic. And the soldiers are radicalized kids in uniforms bonking old men on the heads with sticks and taunting cops.
Sound familiar? Because thatโs whatโs going on in places like Portland, Oregon with Antifa. Except in Portland the government is the one turning a blind eye to the growing violence in pursuit of the cause.
Youโre destroying our streets. Youโre destroying our hard-earned reputation as a safe, international business center. Youโre destroying our economy.โ
