Particularly the prediction during the last minute of the video.

(Note that the video is dated Oct 2020, but it's older than that. The original channel was called Guan Video Global, which seems to have been shut down and had its content reposted as a playlist on this newer channel, and I remember first seeing this video and its prediction during the 2019 Hong Kong riots)

This was a lecture given to foreign teachers, in English, by Miriam Lau - former member of the Legislative Council (Hong Kong's legislative branch of government) and former member of the National People's Congress.

The context of this lecture is that teachers in Hong Kong must now pass an exam showing sufficient understanding of the National Security Laws and its implementation, in order to apply for new jobs.

Note that Miriam Lau is not a Marxist-Leninist or Communist. She's a Pro-Beijing Conservative Liberal, and a solicitor (although there were a lot of snarky liberals in the audience that had no idea who she was and just assumed she was a Commie). However, there's a lot of useful information here for debunking the accusations libs make that the NSL destroys Hong Kong's freedoms.

One thing I learned from this lecture is that the Court of Final Appeal (HK's highest court) has the power of final adjudication in HK. You can't take your case to a higher court after the CFA makes a ruling. It's like if California didn't answer to the Supreme Court, had its own "Supreme Court of California" instead, and didn't have any nationality requirements for its judges apart from the Chief Justice, with most of the judges being foreigners. Compare that to any autonomous territory in any other country.

Part 1 - The Constitution, The Basic Law, and One Country Two Systems

Part 2 - National Security Law

Fred Mmembe spitting fire in this speech

Unfortunately it didn't spawn Marx or Engels :( I think I triggered it too late. Or just unlucky.

I love watching this.

You can see how the union position is morally unassailable.

You can see how the Tory select committee member is just probing at their position, fishing for answers that he can spin to make the union look like it's working against worker interests or just illegitimate, and completely disinterested in replies that don't have that potential.

Meanwhile the Labour MP's approach is far more engaged in an actual dialogue with the union reps, actually responding to their answers and trying to resolve conflicting issues.

Lynch is based as fuck, and UK mainstream media never actually gives people a chance to see it.

He describes the neoliberal/Thatcherite system that the energy market uses to generate obscene profits for the energy industry, and how the price capping measures they're introducing to literally nothing to relieve consumers.

The most damning point he makes, though, is that on conventional Western media there's no way he'd be given the 20 minutes needed to explain how governments are scamming their citizens. They'd cut him off at 20 seconds to let another 'expert' interrupt him or just move on completely.

In sum, there is no way this scam could be pulled off if Government, Media and Energy Olicarchs weren't working together.

I have the original project file for this if anyone wants to improve the subtitles
