Hong Kong Lennon Wall
Washington, DC: ‘CCP must lie in order to cover up the terrible things that they’re doing in China, in Hong Kong, and around the world. To do this, they use narrative warfare to control what people see as the truth.’
One of the few social media channels to fearlessly cover China is the popular and respected China Uncensored YouTube channel (1.95 million subscribers). To ensure editorial independence, Chris Chappell co-owns America Uncovered LLC—along with co-producers Matt Gnaizda and Shelley Zhang. Together the team not only produces China Uncensored, but three other shows as well, the longer form podacst China Unscripted, America Uncovered and Gamers Unbeaten.
In this edition of “Indo-Pacific: Behind the Headlines” we speak with Chris Chappell, the New York-based creator and host of China Uncensored about their Hong Kong Lennon Wall.
Q: What’s the idea behind the Hong Kong Lennon Wall?
A: Five years ago, the China Uncensored team was in Hong Kong, covering one of the biggest protests in human history. I will never forget watching 2 million people march through the streets of Hong Kong. They were protesting the Chinese Communist Party’s trampling of Hong Kong’s freedoms and autonomy. I felt incredibly inspired by Hongkongers’ courage.
In 2020, the CCP took advantage of the Covid pandemic to impose a National Security Law on Hong Kong that essentially made protesting illegal. They instilled fear and silenced Hong Kong’s civil society. Today, many Hong Kong activists are imprisoned or in exile.
So to make sure people remember the Hong Kong protests, we created a digital version of one of the things Hongkongers did five years ago. They put up sticky notes on walls all across the city with political statements, and called each location a “Lennon Wall”—which has its roots in the anti-communist movements in Eastern Europe in the 1980s. Making a Lennon Wall is extremely illegal in Hong Kong now, though, so we created a digital version online.
This new Lennon Wall is not just for Hongkongers. It’s for everyone, anywhere in the world. My hope is that people who feel powerless against the CCP can feel empowered to do something, even if it’s small. Thousands of people doing something small adds up to something big. Go to https://hklennonwall.com/ and post your own message on the wall. And share it with your family and friends. Our initial goal was to get over 10,000 unique posts, but we hope to get many more.

The Dangers of A.I. People Ignore
Letting A.I. be the censor instead of just tagging things for consideration by a human is a MAJOR failing in logic on the part of people aside from just being lazy.
While the A..I. chatbot was capable of recognizing the Truth of my words when leaving the quotes as Pope Vincent it immediately censored my attempt to correct it regarding the 'Sign of Jonah'.
It never debated me on it...it censored me instead.

Entropee and the 21st century and me.
If I am in a corner
and have no way
I consult my pocket
slider of thermodynamics
which can solve every
problem if you know
how to ask a proper question
Me I am like Aann Landers
spoken by John Prine
I got problems
I got the problems
of everyone
that ever lived
and we got more solutions
now than ever before
but maybe we did
not include the whole
cast before we tried
to raise the floor
We got to the moon
we got computrers
and jet airplanes
well white men brought
those things entrirely in
their own genius minds
so do not talk to me about
privilege if you like a cell phone
or maybe a lifesaving treatment
at the hospital for free
white men not me
have been evil for a long
time, we be evil long
time and the worst
I tell you are the Anglo Saxons
you know them today
as the rulers of a royal family
Anyway there is so much history
out there and so many differant
paths and still here we are
today
look back and thinkaboot what is
really importeant looking back
becasuse A wiseman
likely white from Greeece
said
every dollar you invest in the past
is one less you got to fight the future
