Jimmy Lai: Jailed by Communist China While Fighting for Freedom in Hong Kong

From Stossel TV

Hong Kong was the freest place on Earth. Then the Communists took over and thoroughly oppressed it. Jimmy Lai is in jail for saying Hong Kong should be free again.

Suppose you were a billionaire, or multi-billionaire. A repressive regime takes control of your country and threatens you with jail. You can go anywhere in the world, live in luxury. Or stay and go to jail. Jimmy Lai chose jail.

A documentary from the Acton Institute called “The Hong Konger” lets Lai explain why he chose jail.

How Wikipedia Got Captured: Leftist Editors & Foreign Influence On Internet’s Biggest Source of Info

I once reported how great Wikipedia is. But now, it’s manipulated by leftists. That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results. Even c0-founder Larry Sanger agrees.

But that’s just the beginning of the problem because “Wikipedia’s information spreads into everything online,” says ‪@ashleyrindsbergmedia‬ of ‪@NPOVmedia‬ .

That means when your ask ChatGPT, Google, or your phone a question, it’ll likely to take leftist spin straight from Wikipedia. Wikipedia bans most right-wing news sources and suggests Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist (but they don’t even call Fidel Castro’s successor authoritarian).

They’ve turned my Wikipedia page into a smear against me.

I explain in this video.

Censorship Industrial Complex

Who tries to silence free speech? Apparently who ever is in power.

Now that Trump is running Washington, Conservative thinkers must ponder a new-found appreciation for silencing speech they don’t like.

War on Words: Both Parties Try to Silence Speech They Don’t Like

Donald Trump, before he was reelected, said he’d end government censorship. But now that he’s in office? He calls speech he doesn’t like “illegal.”

Free Speech should be a bedrock American value, no matter who’s in office. After the murder of Charlie Kirk, Republicans, who once complained about censorship, became censors. Democrats suddenly flip-flopped. All politicians should remember, the way to fight speech you don’t like, is with more speech, not censorship.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
