Jimmy Lai: Jailed by Communist China While Fighting for Freedom in Hong Kong

Published

2 minute read

From Stossel TV

Hong Kong was the freest place on Earth. Then the Communists took over and thoroughly oppressed it. Jimmy Lai is in jail for saying Hong Kong should be free again.

Suppose you were a billionaire, or multi-billionaire. A repressive regime takes control of your country and threatens you with jail. You can go anywhere in the world, live in luxury. Or stay and go to jail. Jimmy Lai chose jail.

A documentary from the Acton Institute called “The Hong Konger” lets Lai explain why he chose jail.

The White Pill: Big Government Can Be Defeated (Just Ask the Soviet Union)

Published on

From StosselTV

People have been “black pilled” to think the world is doomed. Michael Malice says there’s hope.

In his book, “The White Pill,” he argues that tyrannical regimes, like the Soviet Union, can be toppled.

Today, media and universities distort history, and push socialism. It used to be worse. The New York Times once covered up Stalin’s famine, even as millions starved. Why? Malice says it’s because NYT star reporter Walter Duranty liked communism’s utopian promises, and status he got from his exclusive Stalin interviews.

Malice says the fall of the Soviet Union should give us hope that America can resist the universities and media’s brainwashing – or any tyranny that someone is “black pilled” about.

Our video explains Malice’s “white pill” and why you might want to take it.

Why Government Can’t Build Broadband or Charging Stations… Or Anything!

Published on

From StosselTV

The government promised to expand broadband, build hundreds of thousands of EV chargers, and to bring back semiconductor jobs. They delivered delays, waste, and failure. Why? Because they spend your money, not their own.

After three years and $65 billion spent to expand broadband, not a single person has yet been connected.

Also, two years into Biden’s $7.5 billion EV charging stations initiative, which was supposed to build 500,000 stations, only seven have been built.

The CHIPS Act promised to bring semiconductor jobs back to America. But the money got tied up in DEI quotas, climate pledges, and union mandates.

When bureaucrats spend other people’s money, they have little incentive to spend it carefully. Our new video explains why government should leave building things to the private sector.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
