Action-packed government video on the dangers of ‘space oil’. We learn that ‘etomidate’ indeed rhymes with ‘date’ (as in calendar), not as in the Japanese family name. The key message is ‘Don’t vape it or you’ll die like a zombie’. The usual phrase is ‘die like a dog’, but perhaps whoever thought of renaming the drug ‘zombie oil’ at one stage insisted on portraying depraved teen addicts as the living dead – complete with gross boils on their filthy faces and bald patches where their hair has for some reason fallen out. It must have been fun to make.
Joshua Wong ‘collusion with foreign forces’ case will be heard in the High Court…
He is currently serving an almost five-year jail sentence under the Beijing-imposed national security law in a case linked to unofficial primaries.
While still in prison, he was arrested in June and charged with a second national security offence. The 28-year-old was accused of conspiring with self-exiled activist Nathan Law and “other persons unknown” between July 1 and November 23, 2020, to request foreign countries or individuals to engage in hostile activities against Hong Kong or China.
…Wong has not indicated how he will plead. Most national security law cases in Hong Kong have taken place in the High Court, where defendants face up to life imprisonment if convicted.
Someone really doesn’t want Joshua Wong out on the street, where he could be a rival source of power or something. See also: Long Hair.
Few noticed the G7’s recent statement on Hong Kong’s latest batch of arrest warrants for ‘absconders’. But the government did…
The spokesman said, “Those absconders hiding outside Hong Kong are wanted and subject to arrest warrants issued by the court, not because they ‘exercised freedom of expression’, but because they continue to blatantly engage in activities endangering national security there. The ‘Hong Kong Parliament’ is an organisation aiming to subvert the state power. Its objectives include promoting ‘self-determination’, promulgating the so-called ‘Hong Kong Constitution’, and overthrowing or undermining the basic system of the People’s Republic of China established by the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China or overthrowing the body of the central power of People’s Republic of China or the body of power of the HKSAR, etc. with unlawful means. We therefore have taken such measures to make a significant impact.”
How can someone “die like a zombie”? Zombies are already dead.
I wonder what’s included in the “etc”, penultimate line of the tirade quote.
“…overthrowing the body of the central power of People’s Republic of China or the body of power of the HKSAR, etc. with unlawful means.”
Once you use “etc.” in your rant, you’re just frothing and not serious.
The HKG Government is determined to destroy HKG reputation; surely this is an NSL crime?
Man, that PSA is a Reefer Madness level of hilarity. This Vichy government just keeps finding new rakes to step on, doesn’t it?
The first zombie movie I ever watched was “Dawn of the living dead”. One can derive from this that zombies were alive but also dead. This creates a conundrum: if they are alive how can they be dead? Well, yes, Virginia. They can, because they are zombies. In a sense, they are somewhat similar to Hong Kong civil servants. I hope this is clear now.
So while we are constantly bombarded with hints of hidden threats from foreign agents, some geezer has been popping his pecker into coke bottles in supermarkets for more than a year.
On the bright side, should bolster the popularity of carrying your own refillable water container.
And urine is probably no worse for one’s health than all the chemical additive laden soft drinks on the shelves.
I had to purchase a bottle of water when our building water supply was cut off one evening. This involved mucho label reading. Water came back on after a few hours so still stored in the cupboard as a precaution.
Given they way they’ve been advertising this stuff, HKSARG should probably just call it “Streisand Oil”.
And Fela Kuti would’ve have been my music choice — more fitting for the HKSARG.

“The 28-year-old was accused of conspiring with self-exiled activist Nathan Law and “other persons unknown” between July 1 and November 23, 2020, to request foreign countries or individuals to engage in hostile activities against Hong Kong or China.”
1. “persons unknown” to the government or to Boy Joshua?
2. “to engage in hostile activities against Hong Kong or China.” – I’ve been waiting for specifics on what this is for years. Is it sufficient to say to a foreign government “Please go do hostilities”? At least give some clarity. E.g. “Joshua asked the US to fart in Hong Kong’s general direction” or “Joshua arranged 3 ICBMS to be shipped Washington and asked Mike Pompeo to fire them at Hong Kong on June 4, 2019”. Hard to take a claim seriously when it spans such a wide range.
3. It has never been clear to me whether it was organizing an opinion poll to select candidates was the crime? Or was having an opinion that something should change the crime?
wait, how can one be arrested if one is already in prison?
