1. ….On a brief visit to Hong Kong on Saturday (October 12, 2019), Cruz....insisted he himself had never heard, or seen evidence, of rioting, vandalism and mob attacks over more than four months of civil unrest in the city....
“I recognise that some of the protests have turned violent. There is considerable concern that the protests are being infiltrated by agents of the Chinese government precisely to cause that violence, to turn the protests violent. I don’t know if that is happening or not; I can tell you the protest leaders with whom I spoke today believe it is happening,” he said....
“There is a reason the Communist Party in China wants the Hong Kong protests to turn violent because the Chinese Communist Party very much wants to characterise these protests as violent acts of terrorism rather than democracy protesters standing up for human rights,” he said....
2. A Hong Kong police officer was stabbed in the neck on Sunday in one of the worst acts of violence against the authorities during the 19th straight weekend of civil unrest in the global financial hub.
Graphic footage emerged of the policeman being stabbed in the neck from behind with a sharp object as his team retreated towards Kwun Tong metro station.
The police confirmed that two people had been arrested at the scene and the officer had been transferred to hospital “in a conscious state” and was stable.
A police source said that the officer had sustained a 3cm cut to his neck, and while it was still hard to confirm the extent of his injuries, that the attack was “one of the worst” when seen “in terms of malice, in terms of an attempt to kill the officer.”.....
3. Republican senator Ted Cruz seemed to have been sleeping like Rip Van Winkle for more than four months when he "insisted he himself had never heard, or seen evidence, of rioting, vandalism and mob attacks over more than four months of civil unrest" in Hong Kong. However, he soon contradicted himself when he said: “I recognise that some of the protests have turned violent."
Most laughable and outrageous of all, he advanced a conspiracy theory that the protests in Hong Kong are "being infiltrated by agents of the Chinese government precisely to cause that violence, to turn the protests violent." He continued: "I don’t know if that is happening or not; I can tell you the protest leaders with whom I spoke today believe it is happening.”
If Cruz's conspiracy theory is true, the police officer who "risked his life in the acting" and the attacker-cum-alleged Chinese government agent who "tried to act as real as possible in the attempted killing" should both win an Oscar in the best acting category.
