— Appointment of former Mount Prospect trustee leads to complaints about lack of diversity – Steve Zalusky (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, under the Democrats and under the RINOs, everyone is under ever-increasing pressure to discriminate against those who are Republican, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-veteran, non-poor, conservative, Christian, Protestant, German American, those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time, etc. Outstandingly, notwithstanding the aforesaid pressure, the Democrats who ran a) GAO hired me in 1980, promoted me in 1986, and let me work there until 1997, b) IRS hired me in 1971 and promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 and let me work there until 1980, and c) the Post Office hired me in 1966 and let me work there until 1969. However, outrageously, even though I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, I became a licensed CPA in 1981, I served as the treasurer of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1986, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, I became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and I served as the Illinois Center Right Coalition Treasurer 2003-2006, the RINOs who dominate the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) have made it tremendously clear that they do not want me to serve as the organization’s treasurer. To this day, those RINOs crow about the success of their negative campaign to defeat me when I ran for the open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20211118/appointment-of-former-mount-prospect-trustee-leads-to-complaints-about-lack-of-diversity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mount Prospect Mayor Paul Hoefert appointed former political rival William Grossi to a seat on the village’s finance commission this week, a move that drew criticism from those calling for more diversity on the town’s volunteer commissions. Hoefert cited the accounting credentials and educational background of Grossi, a former village trustee who ran against Hoefert for mayor in the spring, for his appointment. But Trustees Peggy Pissarreck and Terri Gens voted against it, saying Hoefert missed an opportunity to appoint a qualified woman or a person of color instead. “I am troubled that you have passed over the opportunity to appoint a female person of color with a law degree and a regulatory background who expressed interest months ago,” Pissarreck said. Finance commission member Yulia Bjekic also was critical of the appointment. “I feel we are past the point of walking the talk on diversity, equity and inclusion. We talk about it, and you continue to appoint and reappoint Caucasian males to commissions, and that is unfortunate,” she said. However, Hoefert said the candidate mentioned by Pissarreck expressed interest in the finance commission specifically only two weeks ago, while Grossi applied in May. Trustee Colleen Saccotelli, who supported the appointment, cited Grossi’s past work on the village’s audit committee and his “tremendous experience and institutional knowledge.” Also voting in favor were Trustees John Matuszak and Richard Rogers. Trustee Augie Filippone abstained. Former Trustee Michael Zadel also defended the appointment. “The finance commission is, in fact, one of the most diverse commissions that we have,” he said. “There are not all white Caucasians who have been appointed to this commission over the years.”)

I got student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. I should write a book about those who have used my avoiding the draft against me the most. I would focus on the adverse actions that a) my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me 1966-1969, b) my Democrat Firestone superior took against me 1970-1972, c) my Democrat IRS superiors took against me 1971-1980, and d) my Democrat GAO superiors took against me 1980-1997. Further, I graduated from NIU in August of 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management. Employers were under increasing pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Employers saw me as being draft bait. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be approved. I accepted the only job offer that I got, to be the Retail Sales Manager in Firestone’s Chicago Heights store. The job did not really require a bachelor’s degree. Immediately after my application was approved in February of 1971, Oldsmobile offered me a job that I accepted. That resulted in my Firestone Store boss rudely firing me. But Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

— The key flaw in the Wyoming GOP’s case against Liz Cheney. Among the problems with the Wyoming GOP’s rejection of Liz Cheney: She has a conservative voting record in a party that’s indifferent toward voting records. – Steve Benen (COMMENT: Those “Republicans” who have taken adverse actions against me reject one or more of the following planks in the Republican Party platform: traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). I should write a book about the aforesaid “Republicans” and the planks that they reject.)
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/key-flaw-wyoming-gop-s-case-against-liz-cheney-n1284014
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During Trump’s term, Cheney voted with him on policy 93% of the time. That’s a higher percentage than Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and a number of other lawmakers who are seen as staunch Trump allies. Cheney has also received solid grades from prominent conservative groups, including the Susan B. Anthony List and the National Rifle Association.)

— To Understand Inequality, Look to the 9.9 Percent – Eyal Press (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted the loudest that I owe my income and my net worth to my UNFAIRLY BENEFITING from my being White, male, healthy, non-veteran, non-church member, heterosexual, married, childless, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 24 years, baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, 100% German national origin, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, Crete resident 1948-1972, Wheaton resident since 1978, etc.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/books/review/the-99-percent-matthew-stewart.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In his new book, “The 9.9 Percent,” Matthew Stewart focuses on the wealthiest one-tenth of Americans, a “new aristocracy” whose aggregate wealth is four times greater than that of everyone else. A minimum of $1.2 million in assets is required to enter this exclusive club and Stewart writes that the threshold will almost certainly rise by the time his book is published. It’s a club to which white people are eight times more likely to belong than people of color. But what ultimately unites its members is less the size of their bank accounts than a mind-set, Stewart contends. At its core lies “the merit myth,” a shared belief that the affluent owe their success not to the color of their skin or the advantages they’ve inherited but to their talent and intelligence. Under the spell of this conviction, Stewart argues, the privileged engage in practices — segregating themselves in upscale neighborhoods, using their money and influence to get their children into elite colleges — that entrench inequality even as they remain blithely unaware of their role in perpetuating it.)

I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981, a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, a Certified Government Financial Manager in 1994, a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and a Forensic Accountant in 1997.)
https://hbr.org/sponsored/2021/11/financial-equity-and-inclusion-should-be-part-of-your-dei-programs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Today, 50% to 78% of working Americans are earning just enough money to pay their bills, and missing a paycheck means some bills simply don’t get paid, resulting in late fees or overdrafts that just put them further in debt. In addition, 22% of American adults are either unbanked or underbanked, according to a 2019 Federal Reserve report, meaning they have no bank account and/or they rely on alternative financial services, such as check-cashing services or money orders to pay bills.)

— Not Your Parents’ Career—Or Is It? Parents Exert Significant Influence On Kids’ Career Choices – Mark C. Perna (COMMENT: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights, almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills, and died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. Because he had brittle type 1 diabetes from age 14, his doctors discouraged him from going to college because that would cause him too much stress. He frequently said his not having a college degree harmed his career opportunities. My mother never attended high school.)

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER
— Exploiting the local news desert. Are political and foreign interests profiting from the locals’ loss? – Henry Scott (COMMENT: I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000; NOT the GOPUSA DuPage County Editor, NOT the GOPUSA Milton Township Editor, and NOT the GOPUSA Wheaton Editor. Ever-increasingly, government and political news and commentary of interest to Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton voters comes from anti-religious, anti-conservative, and/or anti-Republican sources. This year, those anti-religious, anti-conservative, and anti-Republican sources did NOT report that that Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs had stopped DuPage Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks. Last year, they did NOT report that in June, it was Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who had great success in promoting LGBTQ in downtown Wheaton.)
https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/exploiting-the-local-news-desert,207894
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In recent years at least 1,400 local news publications, most of them digital, have begun to fill America’s large and growing local news desert. But are they really “greening” that desert by filling it with legitimate local news? Or are they just trying to exploit it financially and politically?)

WIKIPEDIA & BUZZFEED
— DINK (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors and supervisors painted themselves as being champions of parents. I should write a book about them and how they used my wife and I giving up trying to have children, our not adopting, and our not becoming foster parents to take adverse actions against me. They stressed the 4-page article about us in Money Magazine’s February 1978 issue in which we stated our intent to have children and they hinted/implied/argued/shouted that my wife and I had lied. They painted my wife and I as being disgusting selfish DINKs (double income, no kids). They painted themselves as being GOD-LIKE because they had children, because they had adopted, and/or because they were foster parents. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, adopted, or became foster parents a) my wife would NOT have been able to keep her job with the U.S. League of Savings Institutions and she would NOT have earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986 and b) I would NOT have passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, NOT gotten hired by GAO in 1980, NOT earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, NOT passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, NOT became a licensed CPA in 1981, etc. The adverse actions that they took against me included a) forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) giving me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and appraisals, c) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) not promoting me beyond GS-13, e) getting rid of my mentor in 1987, e) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and f) forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. They would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran.)

This is a lesson that I will carry with me.” McDonald’s has declined to comment to reporters. A message left Thursday for a spokesperson by the Associated Press was not immediately returned.)

COOPER (COMMENT: If you read the documents filed in Diersen v. GAO, you will conclude that not only Democrat politicians, but also RINO politicians want patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. RINO politicians in Illinois reject the Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois decision. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors knew full-well a) that my wife had helped elect Jim Thompson and b) that Thompson promoted patronage and political affiliation discrimination. (SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html ) Because of the position taken by the Republican Party of Illinois in Rutan, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government.)

WATERLOO CEDAR FALLS COURIER
— Larger share of GOP voters cast ballots in Waterloo, though still outnumbered – Amie Rivers (DIERSEN: From what I see watching home purchases in my precinct since 1984, it ever-increasing looks like Democrat realtors steer homebuyers to my precinct who are Democrat, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, and/or non-German American. Ever-increasingly, it looks like Democrat realtors stress to potential homebuyers a) that ever-increasingly, Democrats get more votes in the precinct, for example, Biden got 269 votes while Trump got only 157, b) that there are LGBTQ-promoting churches immediately north and south of the precinct, c) that the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Headquarters is in the precinct, and d) that a grade school and middle school are in the precinct.)

HAMILTON COUNTY REPORTER
— COMMENT: I have been a DuPage County Milton Township Republican Precinct Committeeman since 1999. I should write a book about leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) who want Republican Precinct Committeemen to only do what they tell them to do, no more, and no less. They do everything that they can to get rid of me because they did not tell me to do the following: a) send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000, b) raise money from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks since 2005, c) oppose their gerrymandering my precinct in 2015, d) serve as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, e) serve as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, f) serve as the MTRO webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004, g) serve as an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member 2003-2007, h) oppose their efforts to get ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, i) seek to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004, and j) serve as an American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member 2001-2004.)

INC.
— Why Are People Really Quitting Their Jobs? – MARCEL SCHWANTES (COMMENT: I quit my Firestone Stores job in 1971 when I was 22 years old a) because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile, b) because I saw my opportunities for advancement working for Firestone as being limited, c) because what I had learned earning a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970 as being wasted, d) because the job did not really require a college degree – I was required to spent too much time installing tires on cars and pumping gasoline, and e) because my boss disapproved of the fact that I had avoided the draft, that I was Protestant, and that I was 100% German American – Firestone’s District office hired me – he never would have hired me. He rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice. But then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer and that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Why Wokeness Will Fail – BRET STEPHENS (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to be woke is to be anti-law enforcement, anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage/family, anti-non-poor people, anti-gun owners, anti-Christian, anti-Protestant, anti-Italian American, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/opinion/social-justice-america.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The problem with the allegation isn’t that it’s flatly wrong: America’s past is shot through with racism and, as Faulkner put it, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” But the allegation is also incomplete, distorted, ungenerous to former generations that advanced America’s promise, and untrue to the country most Americans know today. Wokeness operates as if there had been no civil rights movement, and that white Americans hadn’t been an integral part of it. It operates as if 60 years of affirmative action never happened, and that an ever-growing percentage of Black Americans don’t belong to the middle and upper class (and that they are, incidentally, concentrated in the American South). It operates as if we didn’t twice elect a Black president and recently bury a Black general as an American icon. It operates as if, in city after city, American police forces aren’t led by Black police chiefs and staffed by officers of diverse backgrounds. It operates as if white supremacy is still being systemically enforced, while ignoring the fact that a previously marginalized ethnic minority, namely Asian Americans, enjoys higher income levels than white Americans. Above all, Wokeness pretends that incidents such as George Floyd’s murder, which are national scandals, are actually national norms. They aren’t, despite current injustices. Most Americans, I suspect, not only sense the falseness of the allegation. They are, increasingly, insulted by it. The insult turns to injury when it comes to the solutions Wokeness prescribes, and in the way that it prescribes them. This doesn’t just mean efforts like “abolish the police” that are so baldly destructive that voters quickly sense their danger. It’s in subtler prescriptions, too.)

AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN
— Democrats must confront their privilege – David Brooks (COMMENT: I should write a book about the success that Democrats and RINOs have had in taking over DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. Their success was shown last year by their tremendous promotion of LGBTQ in downtown Wheaton. Their success was show this year by their stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks.)
https://www.statesman.com/story/opinion/2021/11/09/brooks-democrats-must-confront-their-privilege/6337368001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One of the Democratic Party’s core problems is that it still regards itself mainly as the party of the underdog. But as the information-age economy has matured, the Democratic Party has also become the party of the elite, especially on the cultural front. Democrats dominate society’s culture generators: the elite universities, the elite media, the entertainment industry, the big tech companies, the thriving elite places like Manhattan, San Francisco and Los Angeles. In 2020, Joe Biden won roughly one-sixth of the nation’s counties, but together those counties generate roughly 71% of the nation’s GDP. As the Democrats have become more culturally and economically dominant, many people at tippy-top private schools and super-expensive colleges have flamboyantly associated themselves with the oppressed. Thankfully, that has moved society to more aggressively pursue social and racial justice. Unfortunately, a tacit ideology — sometimes called wokeness — has been grafted on to this pursuit. It includes the notions that society is essentially a zone of conflict between oppressor and oppressed groups, that a person’s identity is predominantly about group identity and that slavery is the defining fact of American history. Because they dominate the cultural commanding heights, including some departments of education and the largest teachers unions, progressive views permeate schools, museums, movies and increasingly the public stances of large corporations. The Republican Party, like many right-populist parties across the Western world, has become a giant vessel of resistance against cultural, urban and information-age elites. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican who was just elected governor of Virginia, expressed that resistance when he said, “I believe parents should be in charge of their kids’ education.” When Democrats seem to be magnifying the education establishment’s control of the classroom and minimizing the role of parents, there’s going to be a reaction. Some of the reaction is pure racism, but a lot of it is pushback against elite domination and the tacit ideology. The results of last Tuesday’s elections show again that resistance against the elites can be a powerful force propelling Republicans to victory. In the final weeks leading up to Youngkin’s victory, education became one of the top issues for Virginia voters. The results also put the Donald Trump phenomenon in a new perspective. Trump was necessary to smash the old GOP and to turn the party into a vanguard of anti-elite resistance. But by 2020, with his moral degradation and all the rest, he was also holding back Republicans. If Republicans can find candidates who oppose the blue oligarchy but without too much Trumpian baggage, they can win over some former Biden voters in places like Virginia and New Jersey. Democrats would be wise to accept the fact that they have immense social and cultural power, and accept the responsibilities that entails by adopting what I’d call a Whole Nation Progressivism. America is ferociously divided on economic, regional, racial and creedal lines. The job of leaders is to stand above these divides and seek to heal them. The job of leaders is not to impose their values on everyone else; it is to defend a pluralistic order in which different communities can work out their own values.)

They threw me off audits of IRS, they gave me bad job assignments, they gave me unfair performance expectations, they gave me unfair performance evaluations, they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, and they forced me to take the early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)

— UChicago Professor Dorian Abbot’s MIT Lecture Canceled After DEI Opinions Spark National Controversy – Basil Egli
https://chicagomaroon.com/article/2021/11/8/uchicago-professors-mit-lecture-canceled-dei-opinions-spark/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Abbot has been a figure of national controversy since August, when he co-wrote the Newsweek article with Stanford University professor Iván Marinovic. The op-ed expressed concerns about the increasing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in many colleges and universities. Such initiatives, Abbot and Marinovic argued, are made at the expense of academic excellence and merit, thus actively harming the value of American institutions. The op-ed compared the implementation of DEI curriculums to the rise of Nazi Germany, as “an ideological regime obsessed with race came to power and drove many of the best scholars out.” EAPS chair Robert van der Hilst cited this comparison as one of his key reasons for cancelling the lecture. The authors suggested that DEI should instead be replaced with another standard: Merit, Fairness, and Equality (MFE). The authors described MFE as a method, “whereby university applicants are treated as individuals and evaluated through a rigorous and unbiased process based on their merit and qualifications alone.”)

When I transferred from IRS to GAO in 1980, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 of which at the GS-12 Steep 1-5 Levels, currently $85,935-$97,395/year. I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976. I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul and I completed those requirements in 1980. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I became a licensed CPA in 1981. But those who did not want GAO to assign me to audits of IRS succeeded until 1986 when the GAO manager who had hired me got me assigned to audits of IRS and promoted me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year. But then, in 1987, those who did not want GAO to assign me to audits of IRS succeeded in forcing him to retire, and at the end of 1988, they succeeded in keeping me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997.)

— A critique of critical race theory – Eric Utter
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/11/a_critique_of_critical_race_theory.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Does Crappy Critical Race Theory hold that as long as there is still one white person left in the country, it is systemically, structurally racist? Are CRTers saying the only way to eliminate racism is to eliminate the white race? Because that’s what it appears they are implying. And that seems as racist—systemically and structurally racist—as it is possible to be. In fact, it would effectively be genocide. So why, then, do literally millions of people of color (POC) from around the world want to come here? Why do they go to so much trouble and effort to come to this nation? Do they hate themselves? Are they all masochists who wish to be systemically oppressed? Are they all stupid? Perhaps they are all white supremacists, too, à la Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Winsome Sears, et al? It seems odd to me that CRT states that skin color must be the primary way to identify and categorize people.)

— Review panel to consider funding ‘implicit bias’ and ‘antiracism’ training in schools – Greg Bishop (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats blame Republicans for problems that minority students have.)
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/review-panel-to-consider-funding-implicit-bias-and-antiracism-training-in-schools/article_ee06f854-3e78-11ec-b88e-2b9c0041190c.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Funding proposals for implicit bias and antiracism training in schools are coming into focus and some see it as an unnecessary controversy that distracts from education in the state’s 850 districts. A draft proposal from the Illinois State Board of Education Professional Review Panel set to be considered next month contemplates how to spend an additional $350 million from the evidence based funding model that lawmakers approved several years ago. There are recommendations for a variety of programs, including teaching foreign languages. There are also suggestions for “interventions to have more explicit focus on racial dynamic, including equity direct approaches that offer concrete strategies for teachers’ behavioral changes in the classroom and increased bias awareness.” The draft proposals “recognize that students of color do not inherently need additional supports by nature of their race/ethnicity, but that these students do face inequities because of historical and existing structures, and there is a cost attendant with working to dismantle those inequities through training on antiracism and eliminating implicit bias within schools and districts.” To address that, the proposal adds “a specific Professional Development cost … related to implicit bias and antiracism at a fixed per-pupil cost based on overall enrollment, with additional per-pupil dollar amount for all students where a district serves over 50% non-white students.”)

The more planks in the Republican Party platform that Republican candidates reject, the more discouraged that conservatives are to help elect those candidates. But wait, in Illinois, in DuPage County, in Milton Township, and in Wheaton, more and more and more Republican candidates hint/imply/argue/shout that they are “moderate,” that is, that they reject many planks in the Republican Party platform, that is, that they are anti-conservative, that is, that they are anti-Republican.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/24/world/asia/hong-kong-civil-society.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Unions have folded. Political parties have shut down. Independent media outlets and civil rights groups have disappeared. The Hong Kong government, its authority backed fully by Beijing, is shutting down the city’s civil society, once the most vibrant in Asia, one organization at a time. But one group, the Hong Kong Journalists Association, has refused to fold, even as Hong Kong’s security secretary repeatedly singles it out for public criticism. “We will try to fight to the last moment,” said Ronson Chan, the association’s chairman. “But honestly, it’s a gamble. How cruelly will the Beijing government treat us? We know the history of journalists in the People’s Republic of China.” The authorities have used a national security law, which was introduced last year after months of widespread antigovernment protest, to silence dissent. Dozens of groups have been forced to disband.)
