RIP Hong Kong, you were a beautiful country with your own amazing culture.

Now you’re being gestapoed by China at every step and your culture systematically erased.

Quick fuck you to everyone who thought I was being dramatic a decade ago.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) is an American government-funded non-profit corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Asia

ie a propaganda network.

Not just any propaganda network, Radio Free X is the umbrella under which the CIA disseminates black propaganda abroad, and also the organ which delivered kill lists to the anti-communist kill squads in Indonesia during the us-backed mass killings there.

All of this is declassified and public knowledge btw, not a conspiracy theory, although plenty of folks would like to still pretend that the US grew a conscience at some point and stopped wielding the CIA as a cudgel against global democracy, but the evidence overwhelmingly suggests otherwise.

If you are interested in learning about Radio Free Asia, or US led mass killings in general, I recommend The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins.
