Anti Occupy Central residents call for return of law in HK
Organizers say this is just the start of a series of campaigns they plan to hold against the prolonged occupation of the streets, and say people are justified to ask for their roads and their freedoms back and for the return of law in Hong Kong.
The signature campaign is just one of the many programs organized to show the resentment over the prolonged occupation.

Hong Kong's loud American defies pro-Beijing 'smear campaign'| Top News| Reuters
HONG KONG (Reuters) - China has often accused "foreign forces" of trying to destabilize free-wheeling Hong Kong during the current pro-democracy protests, with a garrulous expat American emerging as a key target of attack.
Mark Simon, the right-hand man of pro-democracy newspaper magnate Jimmy Lai, has moved his family out of Hong Kong for safety and has been pressed to deny that he is a U.S. spy.
But, in interviews with Reuters, Simon insists he will not let a "relentless smear campaign" force him out of his home in the Asian financial hub and he still has plenty of stomach for the fight.
Large, loud and avowedly Republican, the 50-year-old has been portrayed across pro-Beijing media as a CIA agent - a charge also thrown at student protest leader Joshua Wong and an independent academic pollster, Robert Chung.
He's also a proud Catholic - something that links him to Lai and many other prominent figures in the Hong Kong democracy struggle.
Simon described Lai as an instinctive backer of underdogs rather than an "egotist" who believes that he will single-handedly change China.
"Jimmy's instinct is to size up the weak, and to size up the strong, and then instinctively protect the weak," he said.
"We are Hong Kong guys and we are Catholics."
The former British colony of Hong Kong, which returned to Chinese rule in 1997, has witnessed a month of protests calling on the Beijing-backed government to keep its promise of introducing universal suffrage.
The protests have for the most part been peaceful, with occasional clashes between the student-led protesters and Beijing supporters seeking to move them from the streets. China has expressed dissatisfaction about what it sees as foreign interference in an internal issue.
Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying recently echoed Beijing's concerns that foreign forces were behind the protests, but said the time was not right to reveal the government's evidence.
"I DON'T LIKE BULLIES"
Simon, who stands a broad and heavy-set 1.9 meters, said he was unafraid about staying in Hong Kong. But he said that after his address was published on-line he felt it wise to send his wife and two children back to the United States, unsure of what "nut-jobs" would be willing to do to impress Communist Party leaders in Beijing.
"I have a good job, I have a great boss, I have huge responsibilities and I am not going to let a bunch of jackass commies impose things on me," Simon said.
"I just don't like bullies acting like this... If I was 25 years younger I would be walking in these guys' bars looking for them."
Earlier this year, hundreds of emails and documents were stolen in a hacking attack on Lai's Next Media operation, some of them detailing the magnate's extensive, and well known, funding of Hong Kong's democratic activists.
They were then leaked en masse to Hong Kong media, including pro-Beijing mouthpiece papers that have focused on Simon's alleged role.
Hong Kong's anti-corruption force, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, is also investigating after public complaints over specific funding to lawmakers. Both Simon's and Lai's homes have been searched.
Simon has been in Hong Kong since the early 1990s and has worked with Lai since 2000, working earlier on media and on-line projects and more recently helping manage his extensive non-media investments.
Of his portrayal in pro-Beijing media as an "international man of mystery", Simon links the allegations against him back to his four years as a young civilian in the U.S. Navy as an intelligence analyst scrutinizing submarine developments.
He has also made no secret of his Republican activism, or his extensive contacts in the U.S. Congress, some of whom he meets during visits to Hong Kong.
"You've got 20 percent of America that thinks Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen, OK, and in a place like Hong Kong you've got 30 percent of people who believe all this CIA stuff," he said.
He believes the U.S. government has no interest in meddling in Hong Kong but merely wants it to remain stable. And he doesn't believe China really thinks of him as a menace.
"If they really thought I was causing trouble, I wouldn't be here," he said. "They would have nailed me to the wall."
------------------------------------------------------------------
So after an entire article of fawning coverage of this 'democracy teddy-bear', Reuters finally concedes near the end that this teddy-bear was employed as an intelligence analyst for the US Navy, is closely connected to figures in the US congress, and is a partisan Republican.
What they conveniently neglected to mention is that Simon isn't even the most odious of Lai's associates. Lai is on intimate terms with Paul Wolfowitz, who helped him bribe the Myanmar Junta's leaders:
Former U.S. Officials Cash In on Myanmar
For those don't know, Wolfowitz is an arch-neocon, and the architect of the US invasion of Iraq. He orchestrated the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
I wonder is there is any limit to the depravity of Lai and other color revolution puppetmasters? Where does the rabbit hole end?

The proper way is to have a Chinese version of 'Waco' incident. To make Christianity religion appear as a violent religion such as Islam. Staged timely violence is key.

There's no need to do anything, really. The damage has been done - the implication that this fat foreigner is a spy is as good as actual proof. Smear campaign or no. The longer Simon is seen associating with Jimmy Lai, the more Lai and, by extension, the "democracy movement" loses credibility.
It seems Chinese PR has been paying attention to Western PR tactics after all. When it comes to smear campaigns and false accusations, China has learned from the best. And in the interests of journalistic integrity, China can publish a weakly worded retraction 2 years from now on page 25 of the Apple Daily, right after the news story about how a pigeon pooped on a picture of the Queen of England.

Why would we kill his family?
We are patriots, not savages.
His family shouldn't have to pay for his mistakes.
This fei lo can do that himself.

Jackass Commies???
Mark Simon is more Pentagon NAZI than what you think.
That explain why so many anti-Chinese and White-worshiping narrative in HK media.
Free press is not about fooling the people, create hatred among human being and selling out the country.
Sorry, Mark Simon, but you are in HK.
Imagine if you are saying, we are Islamists and Communists in USA.
HK people is not as stupid as you are!
I wonder... why does BULLY word suddenly came into his head?
Too many writing China bully and Beijing bully articles I think.

Bar hopping in Hong Kong, I do that all the time. In Wan Chai and Lan Kwai Fong.
He can meet us there any time.
And he runs into a Triad he is going to piss all over the floor in fear.
He looks like the kind of guy who would literally cry before a fight. He'd probably get killed by accident, even in a casual punch up.

1 million sign petition supporting HK police force
The Alliance for Peace and Democracy says more than one million people in Hong Kong have signed a petition to support the local police force and to ask protesters to end their occupation of city roads. Robert Chow, a spokesman for the anti-Occupy alliance, said it was the group’s second attempt at gathering public opinion, and it seemed to be gaining momentum.
"It took us two weeks to collect 1 million signatures against "Occupy Central" last time. This time it only took four days. This really is on behalf of the Hong Kong people. They really don’t want the occupation any more. They really want to restore normal life in Hong Kong as soon as possible. I think most of the people already expressed what they want. Democracy means minorities respecting the majority. That is the most important meaning in democracy. Now one out of seven Hong Kong people are standing up. The protesters should take a listen. The occupation has lasted more than 30 days. It is unacceptable to drag it on for 30 weeks. Hong Kong people have been suffering severely. So I think the Hong Kong Government should solve this problem now," Chow said.
This guy is a fat disgrace, for sure, but, is a nice tool to be used to further de-legitimize the protesters. Hence, I would like him to speak up more, and more aggressively, and talk like a bully, as if one invites him to a street fight fresh out of a bar.
He does a great job, and, if did not know his clear US-spy credentials, I would think he worked for the Chinese government.
At the end of the day, I would love to see him in jail, however, and test the size of his "big" ego in real life. I bet he would be someone's manita in no time.
