A court in Hong Kong, China, on Monday sentenced 45 pro-democracy activists to prison sentences that ranged from two months to 10 years, in the city’s largest national security case.
The defendants were charged under the country’s 2020 national security law, which critics have panned as targeting free speech and dissent. The law was passed in response to pro-democracy demonstrations that lasted months in Hong Kong in 2019.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
