Public employees who carry out acts considered disloyal to the Macao SAR – including Portuguese employees – may be dismissed, according to the proposed amendment to the Macau Public Administration Workers' Statute presented on Friday by the Executive Council.
André Cheong, Secretary for Administration and Justice and also spokesperson for the Executive Council, warned that private conversations or comments published on social media may be taken into account when assessing loyalty."
Mainstream Britain might finally be waking up to the fact that it elected a totalitarian government that increasingly seems to behave like the Chinese Communist Party.
Since 2014, British police have reportedly recorded more than 250,000 non-crime hate incidents in England and Wales. The non-crime incidents, logged in a system, can even show up, when employers ask for a copy of a prospective employee's criminal record.
Daily Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson... was visited by police earlier this November, informing her that she was accused of a "non-crime hate incident." A tweet she had posted more than a year ago, the police told her, was "stirring up racial hatred." She asked who accused her and why, but the police told her she could not be told what her offending tweet was, nor the "victim's" name. She is now under investigation for spreading material allegedly "likely or intended to cause racial hatred".
There are lots of things... the mainstream British media has ignored for decades: Mass migration from the Muslim world; rampant violence and terrorism; Muslim grooming gangs, raping, torturing, sometimes killing, hundreds of thousands of British children and young women, while the police covered up their crimes.
"As a Rotherham grooming gang survivor, I want people to know about the religious extremism which inspired my abusers. Grooming gangs are not like paedophile rings; instead, they operate almost exactly like terrorist networks, with all the same strategies. As a teenager, I was taken to various houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England, to be beaten, tortured and raped over 100 times." — Ella Hill, survivor of abuse by Rotherham grooming gangs, The Independent, March 18, 2018.
Hundreds of people were handed prison sentences for up to several years, for social media posts about the brutal murder of three little girls in Southport this summer. They were jailed for criticizing mass migration and Islamization, but the government said they were stirring up racial hatred. Now, it turns out that the murderer of the three girls, who still has not gone on trial, was in fact an Islamist terrorist, a fact that Starmer's government covered up and lied about.
Will the British mainstream media fight to see that the many -- who were jailed for speaking their minds about these murders on social media -- are now freed?
Tommy Robinson was severely punished by British authorities for
making documentaries about the grooming gang scandals. A few weeks ago,
he was imprisoned, again, for refusing to be silenced, and moved to one
of Britain's most notorious prisons, which houses some of the most
murderous Islamist terrorists. Nobody in mainstream British media seems the least bit concerned about his safety.

Project 2025 is a 920-page plan spearheaded by the powerful and extreme far-right Heritage Foundation. More than 100 organizations support this blueprint for autocracy. Their stated goal is to create an “ideal” America that would see women, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, people of color, and others deprived of their hard-won constitutional rights and the erosion of environmental and education protections. It also advocates for a frightening centralization of power in the executive branch. Rooted in hate and Christian Nationalism, the plan promises to “rescue the country.” Read GPAHE’s full analysis of Project 2025 and the groups behind it.
GPAHE tracks the activities of those behind Project 2025, and their plans for an authoritarian and Christian Nationalist America, no matter who is president, and the groups in this extremist movement are relentlessly implementing initiatives at local, state, and federal levels.
This week we look at the Heritage Foundation’s deep ties to Hungary and their newest blunder, Project Esther, the American Principles Project’s support of Project 2025, how Project 2025 could ruin baseball, and Charlie Kirk’s presidential fever dream. We’ll also hear from John Amanchukwu, Kevin Roberts, Charlie Kirk, and Joy Pullman in their own words.
(,,,) Domestic Extremism = Patriotism: Provocateur Terry Schilling’s American Principles Project
Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project (APP), a Project 2025 advisor, raised eyebrows in October 2024 with a provocative statement on domestic extremism. “Another word for domestic extremism is someone who really loves their country and wants to support America,” Schilling declared on a Project 2025-supporter Tea Party Patriots podcast. This assertion encapsulates the combative stance of APP and its role in the conservative movement’s Project 2025 initiative.
Schilling’s organization, founded in 2009, has evolved into a significant player in the culture wars, particularly focusing on LGBTQ+ issues, immigration, and education. The organization’s self-proclaimed mission to be “the NRA for families” reflects its combative stance and desire to mobilize conservative voters around social issues.

Kevin Roberts, president of the influential conservative think tank Heritage Foundation that birthed Project 2025, was recently awarded the Officer’s Cross of the Order of Merit of Hungary, The Daily News Hungary reports. Hungary awards up to 140 such awards each year.

Project 2025’s Poster Boy: Charlie Kirk’s Radical Roadmap for America
Christian Nationalist Charlie Kirk, a fervent Project 2025 supporter who heads up Turning Point USA, recently indulged in a thought experiment about presidential power.
When questioned about what the president should do on the first day in office during an October 13 podcast, Kirk took it personally, rattling off a series of measures he would take that dovetail perfectly with Project 2025’s Christian Nationalist agenda for an authoritarian administration.
At the top of Kirk’s list? Bomb Mexico. “We’re gonna just go send fighter jets and we’re just gonna start dropping bombs on them,” he told the interviewer.
A high school graduate who has made his living speaking on college campuses for the past 12 years, Kirk has tasted power and clearly likes it. The intro to his daily podcast features a conservative pundit declaring “Charlie Kirk’s running the White House, folks!” followed by glowing soundbites from former President Trump, whom he considers a close friend.
(…)
Kirk is particularly fascinated by the government’s “heart attack gun, where the CIA can make it look like you had a heart attack by just shooting, you know, a dart at you, taking a dart out. And then it mimics a heart attack.”

Known as ‘Broken Tooth’ and notorious for being former leader of the 14K triad, Wan Kuok Koi was arguably Macau’s most infamous criminal. His name is synonymous with the now long-gone pre-handover triad-related violence that shook the city in the 1990s.
In 2012, a few months before his release from prison, where he served 14 years following convictions for criminal association, loan-sharking, and illegal gambling, his imminent freedom stirred anticipation.
What has he been up to over the past decade?
Martin Purbrick, a former Hong Kong Royal Police officer who, during the 1990s, worked alongside a special intelligence unit comprising Portuguese officers in the Macau Judiciary Police (MJP), alleges that senior security representatives met with Wan shortly before his release.
In his newsletter Asian Crime Century, Purbrick claims that they asked Wan to leverage his influence in the underworld to keep violence to a minimum and to establish a platform that promoted peace, harmony, and unity rooted in Chinese culture and history.
In 2013, Wan became President of the World Hongmen History and Culture Association (世界洪門歷史文化協會), which, according to Purbrick, had the stated aim “To love the nation, organise cultural exchange activities in various places, and pass on the history and culture of the Revolution of 1911.”
In February 2018, in a speech that was leaked in a video clip, Wan revealed plans to set up a “Hongmen Security Company” for Chinese merchants involved in the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, emphasising that the association’s motto was “loving and supporting the country, Macau, and Hong Kong.”
Wan, through his Hongmen association, has drawn attention since at least 2020, when he was named in a joint advisory issued by the US Department of State, US Department of the Treasury, and US Department of Commerce. The advisory described him as an example of a criminal element involved in Cambodia’s casino industry.
That same year, he was linked to a series of arrests on the island of Palau, which targeted and deported hundreds of predominantly Chinese nationals engaged in illegal online gambling operations based in the country.
In 2021, Macau authorities were notified by Interpol that Wan Kuok Koi was wanted. The Interpol red alert was reportedly issued at the request of Malaysian authorities on suspicion of fraud.

To strengthen the country's defence capability, the state of alert may be heightened. During a state of heightened alert, all of society must work together to ensure essential functions.
The government can decide on a heightened state of alert to strengthen Sweden's ability to defend itself. This can happen, for example, in the event of wars and conflicts in our neighbourhood, or if the situation in the rest of the world seriously affects our country or threatens our security and independence. In times of heightened state of alert, you must follow the advice of the authorities and keep yourself updated on what is happening. If compulsory military service is introduced, you must report for duty immediately.
Hightened state of alert is a collective term for the levels of preparedness "increased state of alert" and "highest state of alert".
Increased state of alert is the lower of the two levels. If the government decides on increased state of alert, Sweden is deemed to be in danger of war or that there are extraordinary circumstances caused by a war outside Sweden's borders. Society must then begin to adapt to meet the needs of total defence. At the same time, ordinary functions must continue as far as possible.
Highest state of alert is the highest of the two levels of preparedness and automatically applies if Sweden becomes involved in a war. If the Government decides on the highest state of alert, it may also be a question of a war risk (i.e. not war). All societal activities must then support the total defence. Authorities and municipalities must be organised for war and compulsory military service will be introduced.
You can get information about high alert through radio and television. Swedish Radio P4 is the emergency channel and must be able to quickly reach the public with important information in the event of a crisis or heightened state of alert . Emergency alarms are also used to announce that the country is on high alert. Read more about preparedness alarms and aircraft alarms further down the page.
High alert gives the government more freedom to act and make different decisions, and other laws can be used in addition to those that apply in peacetime. For example, the state can take over private property needed for total defence. This may include buildings, transport and machinery.
Increased preparedness also means that municipalities and state authorities must adapt their organisation and activities to the special requirements that apply. Even if there are difficult conditions, the municipality, for example, is obliged to keep activities such as elderly care, schools and sanitation running.
