The real reason Joshua WONG was blacklisted and deported by Thailand

Following Joshua WONG’s deportation from Thailand he wants to know why he was blacklisted and which other countries he is likely to be blacklisted in.

These questions are answered below:

Why was Joshua WONG blacklisted and deported from Thailand?

Almost every year since 1983 the US Congress has allocated US Government funds to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) to ‘strengthen democracy’ around the world.


One of the ways the NED does this is through mounting ‘color revolutions’ to topple legitimate governments and replace them with US subservient systems. Every country in Asia is now aware of the chaos caused by the NED organized Middle East – North Africa (MENA) color revolutions and as a result, now appreciate the threat that NED activities pose in their own countries.

They are also aware the Occupy Central protests/Umbrella Movement was a failed color revolution mounted in Hong Kong by the National Democratic Institute (NDI). The NDI is the Democratic Party wing of the NED and  one of the NED’s four core grantees, so because the NED are still funding activities in Hong Kong, almost every country in Asia is watching things here closely. Joshua WONG is an NED puppet and the willing face of the NED color revolution in Hong Kong.

What threat does Joshua WONG pose to Thailand?

Joshua WONG as an individual is insignificant. He poses no threat to anyone, but when he is being manipulated as a tool of American foreign policy, he poses a very real threat to the National Security of anywhere in Asia where the NED is funding activities, including Thailand. The reasons for this can be found in two US Government funded strategies:

The NDI target youth in their programs

The NDI consider youth as a key component of NDI programs. As early as 2004 the NDI were working to develop youth activists in over 50 countries and today those countries include China (Hong Kong), China (Taiwan), Thailand, Malaysia and others. To show the importance the NDI place on youth, here are details from the NDI 2012 Civic Update on Youth Programming:

The NED is building networks of cross-border activists

In the NED 2012 Strategy Document, one of the NED’s key goals is building cross-border networks of democracy activists, of whom youth are a key component.

Joshua WONG is a component in this NED cross-border activist network in Asia. The issue is, Asian leaders have seen how the NED has destabilized nations across the world with their color revolutions, so they will quite rightly take all legitimate means to ensure their countries are not next on the list.

Examples of Joshua WONG related NED activities

1. NED activities in Hong Kong

The NED has been funding subversive activities in Hong Kong since 1996. Here’s a list of all NED grants to Hong Kong since 1996:  http://nedactivitiesinchina.blogspot.com/search/label/Hong%20Kong

Significant amongst these if the following NED grant in 2012 to the NDI to fund Hong Kong’s color revolution (Occupy Central protests/Umbrella Movement):

“National Democratic Institute for International Affairs - US$460,000 - To foster awareness regarding Hong Kong's political institutions and constitutional reform process and to develop the capacity of citizens - particularly university students - to more effectively participate in the public debate on political reform, NDI will work with civil society organizations on parliamentary monitoring, a survey, and development of an Internet portal, allowing students and citizens to explore possible reforms leading to universal suffrage”.

3. NED activities in Thailand

Joshua WONG was deported from Thailand in October 2016 after trying to meet up with Thai activists. The NED has been funding subversive activities in Thailand since 1996. Here are details of the NED’s grant page to Thailand from their 2015 Annual Report:

Which other countries is Joshua WONG likely to be blacklisted in? 

The answer to this is actually quite simple – just check out the NED website and find out where else they are funding activities in Asia. 

Here’s a list of some of the countries which received NED funding for programs in 2015. In many cases, this is the first page - some of these countries are receiving numerous grants (Source: NED Annual Report 2015):

Bhutan


Burma


Cambodia


China





Indonesia


Malaysia


Mongolia


Nepal


North Korea


Philippines


Sri Lanka


Thailand


Vietnam


The NED also fund programs through their grants to Asia and South Asia. 
Some of the recent grants to Hong Kong are 'hidden' in here.



This is just the list of grantees in 2015. The NED are funding programs in other countries which did not receive grants in 2015. 

Our advice to Joshua WONG

Rather than bother the Hong Kong Government, we recommend Joshua WONG and all of his student activist friends check with their American handlers before making any future travel arrangements. They after all are the people with the most up-to-date information on where the NED are funding subversive activities and more importantly, which country is next in line for a color revolution.

Open Letter to US Consul-General Kurt Tong – when are you going to tell the truth about what the NED are doing in Hong Kong?

US Consulate General Hong Kong and Macau,

Mr. Tong,

You recently briefed the American Chamber of Commerce on the special relationship enjoyed between Hong Kong and America and stated:

"'one country, two systems' is not only a very unique and special reality. It is also a construct that both China's central government and the people of Hong Kong -- and for that matter, the United States as well -- all aim to maintain”.

You also said:

“the United States and the people of Hong Kong share an abiding respect for certain fundamental freedoms, and certain core values”.

The Standard. 22 September 2016

We believe as a people our shared core values include commitments to honesty and integrity and a desire for open, transparent and accountable government. Your predecessor Mr. Clifford Hart was not an honest man. He suppressed the truth about what your government is doing in Hong Kong, not only from the Hong Kong people, but also from your president. 

NED is funding a colour revolution in Hong Kong

Your government has funded a colour revolution in Hong Kong and if you truly share our core values, we would like you to tell the truth about what the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is doing spending US Government funds in Hong Kong, specifically, can you tell the truth about the following:

Question 1. What was the US$460,000 given by the NED to support Occupy Central spent on?

In 2012 the NED granted the National Democratic Institute (NDI) US$460,000 to:

“To foster awareness regarding Hong Kong's political institutions and constitutional reform process and to develop the capacity of citizens - particularly university students - to more effectively participate in the public debate on political reform, NDI will work with civil society organizations on parliamentary monitoring, a survey, and development of an Internet portal, allowing students and citizens to explore possible reforms leading to universal suffrage”.

NED Annual Report 2012
Grants to Hong Kong

Can you explain to the Hong Kong people what this money was spent on, and specifically, which university students were the subjects of your program and what was their role in the Occupy Central Protests/Umbrella movement?

Question 2. What was the US$461,210 given by the NED to amplify citizen’s voices in Hong Kong spent on?

In 2014 the NED granted the NDI further funds to amplify citizen’s voices in Hong Kong, as follows:

“Political Processes - US$410,000 - Amplifying Citizens’ Voices in Hong Kong & China - To engage Hong Kong civic and political sectors in substantive dialogue around governance and electoral reform processes and to provide civic education for Chinese activists. NDI will assist efforts to promote citizens’ voices in Hong Kong’s political reform process and provide technical assistance to Chinese activists on organizational and advocacy skills. In Hong Kong, NDI will support online platforms and community initiatives that promote citizen-created models of governance. NDI will also conduct a young women’s leadership initiative”.

“Political Processes - Supplement: US$51,210 - Amplifying Citizens’ Voices in Hong Kong - To amplify citizens’ voices in Hong Kong’s political reform process and provide technical assistance to mainland Chinese activists on organizational and advocacy skills. In Hong Kong, NDI will support online platforms and community initiatives that promote citizen-created models of governance. NDI will also conduct a young women’s leadership initiative for up to 20 participants from mainland China and Hong Kong”.

Can you explain to the Hong Kong people what this money was spent on? 

3. Is the US Government funding the independence movement in Hong Kong?

In March 2016, your staff held a secret meeting with leaders of localist group Hong Kong Indigenous, including Edward Leung Tin-kei and Ray Wong Toi-yeung.

SCMP report on secret meeting with US consular staff in March 2016

SCMP report on secret meeting with US consular staff in March 2016

Your predecessor Gary Hart refused to disclose the truth about this meeting. What we want to know, on behalf of the Hong Kong people is this - is the American government funding the Hong Kong independence movement?

After you have answered these questions, you might wish to explain to the American public how their taxpayer dollars are being spent, because using American Government funds the NED has worked incessantly to undermine and destabilize Hong Kong, making it almost ungovernable.

To achieve your government's goals, the NED has bribed our politicians, corrupted our institutions and attacked the very fabric of our society, including using school children to fight your battles, so  if your claim that America aims to maintain the ‘one country, two systems’ is true, then Hong Kong’s enemy and the evil you need to confront is the NED, so the solutions to Hong Kong’s problems lie not in Hong Kong or China, but in reforming your own government.

The pan-democrats – 20 years of collaborating with the NED – 20 years of betrayal

In the news:

Edward LEUNG Tin-kei recently claimed one of the reasons he become involved in politics is because the pan-democrats have been negotiating with the Chinese Government for years but have achieved nothing. He blames the Chinese Government for this (SCMP. Leung March. 28 August 2016).

What’s the truth?

The reasons the pan-democrats have failed in their negotiations with China is because at the same time they were negotiating with China, they were collaborating with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and its affiliate the  National Democratic Institute (NDI) to destabilize Hong Kong.

Here are some highlights of the pan-Democrats collaborating with the NED in Hong Kong:

1995

In 1995, Charles MOK co-founded the Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor and invited the NED to establish a foothold in Hong Kong by funding them. In 1995, Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor received US$30,000 from the NED to focus local and international public attention on areas of Hong Kong law and practice that do not safeguard human rights. The NED have been here ever since.

2003

LEE Cheuk-yan received funding from the NED to help co-ordinate the Article 23 protests. Here’s how the NED described LEE Cheuk-yan’s role in the Article 23 protests:

In 2012 the NED allocate funds to support the Occupy Central protests:

NED Grant to NDI to support Occupy Central Colour Revolution
2014

On 31 August 2014 the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC) set what many saw as a restrictive framework for selecting Hong Kong’s Chief Executive in 2017, but almost no one in Hong Kong knows the reason why.

In September 2014 America attempts to mount the Occupy Central Colour Revolution in Hong Kong. After 79 days, the Colour Revolution fails.

2015

To understand why the pan-democrats have failed to achieve anything in their negotiations with the Chinese Government, we need to listen carefully to what Wang Guangya said when he met a delegation of Hong Kong pan-democrat legislators in Shen Zhen on 30 May 2015 in a last ditch attempt to persuade them not to vote the framework for selecting Hong Kong’s Chief Executive in 2017l down. This is what Wang Guangya said:

A small number of people ... have colluded with external forces and used these forces trying to oppose the central government and the relations between the central government and Hong Kong. Actually, they are opposed to the principle of one country, two systems. Who are those people? You know more than me.

We cannot let those people assume the Chief Executive post. Once they assumed the Chief Executive post, it would be castastrophic to the country, Hong Kong and the principle of one country, two systems.

Comment

How stupid are the pan-democrats. Did they really think no one was watching. Well because of their stupidity, they have cost Hong Kong its political future.

Isn’t it about time we collectively join together on September 4 and cost them their political future. 

Let’s kick the pan-democrats out of LegCo.
