Who blackmailed whom? 誰勒索了誰？ 屈穎妍2023-02-09
近日，著名導演張婉婷為英華女校學生拍攝的紀錄片《給十九歲的我》引發羅生門，新聞在城中鬧得風風火火。
紀錄片中被拍了十年成長故事的兩位同學，忽然反面不認人，在媒體發表萬言書控訴導演，說她們一直不情願地被拍攝，電影也在她們不情願之下「被公映」。
連日來，媒體的助力、網民的轟炸，令導演被千夫所指，一齣得獎電影，在社會壓力下，成為犧牲品，電影公司決定把戲落畫。
《給十九歲的我》其實去年8月已在香港國際電影節首映，之後再參加台北金馬影展、布拉格亞洲電影節、倫敦東亞電影節，並在今年的香港電影評論學會大獎中奪得最佳電影獎殊榮。
在世界走了幾個圈，原來在被訪者眼中都不算公映，除了當事人，愈來愈多人跳出來指責導演說，電影的公開上畫未徵得被訪者同意，她們由頭到尾都不想拍。
拍了十年、上映大半年，幾個成年人現在說，是被迫的、被騙的、被情緒勒索的，整件事，很不合情理。
一切，源於1月27日，那天開始，所有是非、對錯、觀眾評價，都180度轉變。
那天，政府宣布成立「推廣香港新優勢專責小組」，目的是推廣及唱好香港，小組招攬了來自不同界別的代表人物加入，而電影界的代表成員，叫張婉婷。
自那天起，網上不斷有人呼籲大家杯葛張導演新上畫的電影《給十九歲的我》，亦有人指責張導因利益被收編，藉《給十九歲的我》一片來幫忙說好香港故事，所以，紀錄片中的女孩全部被出賣，成為唱好香港助攻的一員。
一切清晰不過了，所有不合情理都變得合情合理了。
電影公司明明清清楚楚跟學生及家長簽下同意書，然後開始了十年合作。
不只導演一人，還有整個攝製隊十年的努力、英華女校的配合、投資者的金錢……因為兩個女孩說：我不高興，一切就付諸流水。
她們不斷用一個詞「情緒勒索」來形容自己過去為何不情願仍繼續拍下去。
今天，她們不也是用自己的情緒來勒索導演、勒索電影公司、勒索英華女校，以脅迫電影下架嗎？
法治是什麼？
不是看情緒，而是靠合約、靠承諾。
一齣簽了同意書拍攝的紀錄片都可以因為兩個女子一句「不高興」、「不情願」而被推倒，那以後新聞記者不用做訪問了，導演也不用拍紀錄片了。
更重要，是政府也不用找人為香港做事了，因為你只要跟政府沾上邊，可能立即會被圍插，隨時損失慘重。
誰說反對力量已瓦解？
一套紀錄片的落幕，已讓大家見識到反政府的暗黑力量大到什麼程度。

Escaping poverty is a dream that the Chinese people tirelessly pursue and an important part of realizing the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation. Putting people first is what General Secretary Xi Jinping values most when governing China. “No single poor area or single poor person should be left behind,” he said. 擺脫貧困是中國人民孜孜不倦追求的夢想，是實現中華民族偉大復興中國夢的重要組成部分。以人為本，是習近平總書記治國理政的重中之重。 “一個貧困地區、一個貧困人口不能掉隊。”他說。

He Jun (何军), an overseas Chinese returnee to his homeland, together with his friends started out as adhoc rescuers. They eventually organized and have participated in 17 domestic and international rescue missions so far whose efforts have been recognized by the UN as reported here by HK journalist Qu Ying Yan. They have been among the first to arrive into Turkey’s earthquake ravaged zone most recently.

FBI is a replicate of The Eastern (dongchang 東廠) and Western Depots (xichang 西廠) and the Brocade Guards (jinyiwei 錦衣衛) were security and surveillance units created during the Ming period 明 (1368-1644). They were supervised by high court eunuchs and wielded considerable power. Historians say they were the “eyes and ears of the emperor” because they had particularly been designed for the purpose of spying out state officials and eliminating potential rivals.
FBI has become ‘politically weaponized’ – ex-special agent Nicole Parker testifies during the first hearing of the subcommittee on Capitol Hill 聯邦調查局已成為“政治武器” – 前特工妮可·帕克在國會山小組委員會的第一次聽證會上作證
A Republican-led committee is investigating claims of institutional bias in the US criminal justice system
Former FBI agent Nicole Parker testifies during the first hearing of the subcommittee on Capitol Hill on February 09, 2023
A former FBI agent has told US lawmakers in Washington of a loss of trust in the law enforcement agency among many Americans, and that the bureau has become “politically weaponized” by the federal government.
Nicole Parker testified on Thursday before a House committee investigating the so-called ‘weaponization’ of the federal government. She said it appeared “as if there became two FBIs” during her career with the law enforcement bureau.
Parker, who was employed by the FBI between 2011 and 2022, explained in her testimony that a chasm existed between the organization’s headquarters in Washington, DC and the various field offices across the US.
“The FBI became politically weaponized, starting at the top in Washington [and] trickling down to the field offices,” Parker said. “On paper, the bureau’s mission remained the same, but its priorities and governing principles shifted dramatically. All this adds up to a loss of trust in the FBI by many Americans and low morale among many FBI employees.”
Parker had previously stated in a Fox News op-ed last month that the FBI had been weighed down by “one politicization issue after another.” She cited the situation which saw FBI agents kneel in support of Black Lives Matter protesters following the death of George Floyd in 2020 as one instance of the agency wading into political issues.
Parker left the FBI late last year, “with an exemplary and spotless record.”
The FBI said on Thursday in a statement to the New York Post that it expects its agents “to uphold the highest standards.”
“Our work is critical in protecting the American people from a variety of threats and in upholding their constitutional rights,” it added.
The subcommittee is chaired by Republican Jim Jordan, a noted critic of the alleged politicization of the FBI and the US Justice Department. He has also accused the agencies of targeting conservatives, and claimed to have been contacted by “dozens and dozens” of FBI agents who alleged political bias within the agency.
In January, the House voted across party lines to set up the ‘weaponization’ subcommittee. It is also investigating methods used by the US government in the collection and analysis of information on US citizens

Professor Ken Hammond: Flap over Chinese balloon a colossal demonstration of warped thinking in the US 拍打中國氣球是美國扭曲思維的巨大展示 Feb 10, 2023

American military and political leaders, and the front pages of the corporate media, have been devoted to the denunciation of China for allowing a balloon to float across the Pacific Ocean and across North America. Although spokesmen for the Pentagon had acknowledged that the balloon actually posed no threat to the US and that any information the so-called spy balloon might gather would be only a redundant version of information routinely available to satellites and already widely known in intelligence circles around the world, pundits and politicians have been almost hysterical to outshout one another and demonstrate their hatred and aggressive intentions toward China. All of this would be funny, if it weren’t so dangerous.
It has been clear for a long time now, since at least the “Pivot to Asia” announced by former president Barack Obama in 2011, that the US has embarked on a campaign to isolate and contain China, to try to disrupt China’s development and derail its efforts to improve the lives of its people and the peoples of other developing countries around the world. The American military maintains bases all around China, and US intelligence agencies operate highly sophisticated listening posts to monitor communications and other kinds of information sources within China. American spy planes routinely fly just beyond the limits of China’s airspace, sometimes even venturing into that airspace, to gather information. And of course the US has a long history of “overflights” by the infamous U-2 aircraft to spy on Cuba, the former Soviet Union, and other countries, not to mention the many American surveillance satellites which track over China every day.
All of this makes the current flap over a Chinese balloon drifting across the country seem rather ridiculous. The melodramatic shooting down of the balloon just off the coast of South Carolina was so absurd that the popular American television show Saturday Night Live made it the focus of their opening comedy routine the following night. The hypocrisy and posturing of everyone from President Joe Biden to members of Congress, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Pentagon generals, intelligence spokespersons, and various media outlets is stunning.
Sadly, this is just the latest round in the ongoing effort to demonize China, to prepare the American people for possible conflict, and to ensure that most Americans have only the most one-sided and hostile kind of knowledge and information. American elites are fearful of the decline of the US as the dominant power in world affairs, afraid of losing the power and privileges which they have enjoyed for many decades and the ability to enforce their will on peoples and countries around the planet. As the Western industrialized economies have lost their monopoly on modern technologies of production, and countries which were formerly the subordinate components of a global system of exploitation and extraction which enriched American and European elites have pursued their own paths of development, American domination has eroded, and a new world order has begun to emerge. China has been a leading example of this, having raised the material conditions of the lives of its people over the past 70 years, extending life expectancy, drastically reducing infant mortality, improving housing, providing educational opportunities, and creating national health care systems which saved millions of lives through the course of the COVID-19 epidemic.
China is returning to the kind of role in global affairs it occupied for many centuries before the onset of Western imperialism in the 19th century and the invasion and exploitation of the country in the Opium War and the following century until the successful revolution led by the Communist Party of China culminated in the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. The accomplishments of the Chinese people since then are a source of justifiable pride for their country, and serve as an inspiration for many people around the world, but for American elites they represent an existential threat. The rich and powerful in America do not want to share the wealth created by working people with those who actually produce it, in their own country or elsewhere. The fear and hatred generated by their realization that the times are changing and that the future will be different is driving them to ever more reckless actions and provocations directed at China. This is a danger to people in China, in America, and around the planet.
This is an age when the world’s people face profound challenges. Climate change and global warming threaten the very existence of society in the coming decades. Inequality and injustice destroy lives every day. It is an era when the resources of the world should be directed to solving these critical challenges, not to fanning the flames of “great power conflict” as American politicians and military leaders are doing. That a balloon drifting across North America, which posed no threat to anyone, should be the focus of so much hyped up anger, and be shot down by fighter jets with missiles, is a colossal demonstration of how warped the thinking in the White House, Congress, and the Pentagon has become. China and America should be working together to build a better future, one in which peace and justice are the goals, and in which improving the quality of life for all is the objective, not the perpetuation of the power of a few to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else.
