Victory has many fathers, but failure is an orphan 成事要功, 敗事失踪

阿富汗一役, 拜登萬箭穿心, 栽了個大跟頭, 特朗普也出來打秋風, 指指點點, 説應該先撤平民, 後撤軍人。說甚麼都沒有用, 特朗普去年也要跟塔利班談判, 對撤軍方案達成共識。就算走得灑脫, 美國投放在阿富汗政府軍的軍事物資及武器等, 未敗給塔利班前, 很多都不知所蹤, 這朽木政府, 怎樣也扶不上壁。美國佬落荒而逃, 軍事物資都落入塔利班手中, 還要看塔利班的臉色, 塔利班現在隨便打幾個美國砲彈進機場跑道, 玩都玩死他們。美國佬仲有乜把砲? 就是控制着阿富汗中央銀行約70億美元的儲備。對塔利班來講這可能是大數目, 美國佬這20年來花費在這場戰爭中又何止它的10倍。

911恐襲, 禍及無辜, 舉世斥責。但那也是一場共業。以色列欺侮巴勒斯坦人, 美國佬一直在撐腰, 又何來國際公義? 我當然不會撐恐怖主義, 也不想無端白事因恐襲死於非命, 我只是想指出美國受襲, 自己也有責任。20年前出師, 美其名為打擊阿爾蓋達, 制止恐怖主義, 不如說是為報仇雪恨。報私仇卻招攬了盟友入局, 豬友要堂而皇之加入, 要向國民交代, 就要炮製一些理由出來。 到了現在, 一事無成, 為了掩飾過失, 很多"orphans"都要出來死撐, 他們基本上都跟隨著大佬, 對以色列偏頗, 對以色列不端的擴張置若罔聞, 對巴勒斯坦人受到不公平對待卻不發一聲。如果貫徹始終不參與別國事務倒還好, 起碼不會偏頗, 不會黨同伐異, 極其量被指沒有履行國際應有之義伸出援手, 就不致於同流合汚。老外說"victory has many fathers, but failure is an orphan", 意思是成事就認屎認屁, 吹噓自己怎樣英明神武眼光獨到, 事敗就銷聲暱跡, 夾着尾巴不知所踪。 阿富汗這戰敗, 美國盟友卻為了安撫無功喪命的軍人家屬, 也為了賠了夫人又折兵的情況向國人自圓其說, 而把這句話變成"failure has many fathers"了。

凡事都不要做得太盡,  別把人家逼上絕路。

剛看到明報這即時新聞: 馬家健案上訴庭批律政司不追究較重罪責者 3法官均曾任職律政司 薛偉成曾任刑事檢控專員, 似曾相識, 跟我所寫《陪審團接波》一文很相似。在該文中, 我說「律政司有責任把本案轉交警方調查, 研究上訴人原律師團中人有沒有足夠證據為妨礙司法公正立案。」現在該案已提訊了。我要講多兩句, 上訴庭以postscribe形式評論而不直接轉介警察調查, 原因很簡單, 司法獨立, 不干擾調查, 也不能指指點點叫警方查案, 要排除日後檢控上庭時予人感覺法庭未審已有看法, 做成不公正的印象。 我寫這一段, 作為victory has many fathers的例子。

    Hong Kong barrister and ex-clerk accused of conning innocent man into taking rap in drugs case face 7 years behind bars if convicted

    Prosecution wants to try Dorothy Cheung and Paul Chan in District Court in relation to HK$1.9 million drug trafficking case

    Cheung was granted HK$300,000 bail on Thursday, but Chan was remanded in custody

    A Hong Kong barrister and former solicitors’ clerk accused of convincing a man to plead guilty to drug trafficking so the real culprit could go free face seven years in jail, after prosecutors indicated they wanted the case to be tried in District Court. Barrister Dorothy Cheung Hiu-wai, 33, was granted bail at HK$300,000 after she was charged at Kowloon City Court on Thursday with perverting the course of public justice. Her co-defendant, former clerk Paul Chan Keung-lee, 58, was remanded in custody. The prosecution came a week after the Court of Appeal questioned the pair’s roles in the case of Ma Ka-kin, 25, who had his conviction overturned, having spent five years behind bars on suspicion of trafficking cocaine worth nearly HK$1.9 million (US$244,000) in 2016. The appeal court judgment on August 11 said Ma, a former noodle shop worker, had allowed a friend, Hung Chi-him, to use his address for the delivery of a parcel from Brazil, in which customs officers found 1.1kg of cocaine.

    Ma was found guilty by a High Court jury in 2019 of trafficking a dangerous drug and jailed for 23 years, but three appeal judges set aside the verdict, after Ma’s appeal lawyers argued their client had been misled by his original legal team into entering a confession. A charge sheet said Cheung and Chan had conspired to pervert the course of public justice between January 27 and November 21, 2017, by “falsely representing that Hung Chi-him had never asked Ma Ka-kin to receive the parcel”, and by “stating that Hung Chi-him was not involved” in the case. On Thursday, prosecutor Irene Poon Oi-lin said the offence was serious and her team could be prosecuting more suspects in the future. “[Chan] and [Cheung] had actively persuaded Mr Ma to shoulder all responsibilities in the drug trafficking case in order to exculpate Mr Hung,” Poon said. The prosecutor asked for a 14-week adjournment given the complexity of the investigation, which included reviewing the court files of the drug trial, and objected to the defendants’ bail applications. Principal Magistrate Ada Yim Shun-yee denied Chan bail, but agreed to release Cheung on condition that she obeyed a travel ban and a daily curfew between 11pm and 7am. Yim also ordered the barrister to surrender her travel documents, report to police once a week and refrain from contacting prosecution witnesses. The two accused will return to court on November 29.

  2. Hong Kong Barrister Dorothy Cheung of Garden Chambers is a disgrace. I hope she can be convicted by the District Court, and then struck off the Roll of Barristers forever.

    https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/4/179071/Paralegal-remanded-after-allegedly-persuading-innocent-man-to-plead-guilty

    Now-retired paralegal Paul Chan Keung-lee, 58, and a barrister handling the same case, Cheung Hiu-wai, 34, appeared at the Kowloon City Magistrates' Court for perverting course of justice today.

    Chan was remanded till his next court appearance 14 weeks later on November 29.

    Cheung was granted bail of HK$300,000, and must observe a curfew running from 11pm to 7am the next day. He must also report to police every Saturday and surrender all of his travel documents.

    The two allegedly conspired with Ma Ka-kin, 25, to pervert the course of justice by asking Ma to falsely testify that Hung Chi-him was not involved in his drug case.

    Ma was wrongly jailed for 23 years for trafficking dangerous drugs in 2019, and was released last month.

  3. 25歲青年馬家健因企圖販毒被判囚23年,服刑5年後上訴得直,無罪釋放。事件揭發馬家健疑被該案「師爺」陳強利游說認罪,並由大律師張曉惠處理認罪的案件。陳強利及張曉惠同被控一項串謀妨礙司法公正罪,今日(19日)被押解至九龍城裁判法院提堂。主任裁判官嚴舜儀拒絕陳強利保釋申請;但批准張曉惠以30萬元保釋,分兩期繳交,首期10萬元最遲須在本周六(21日)上午繳付,至9月17日前再交20萬元。案件押後至11月29日再訊。

    首被告陳強利(58歲)由大律師李家齊代表,辯方透露案發時他是律師樓行政人員,現時從事拖車外判工作,已沒有在律師樓工作。次被告張曉惠(33歲)由大律師吳政煌代表,辯方透露她於2014年起獲認許為大律師。

    兩人同被控於2017年1月27日至11月21日間的若干日子,在香港與馬家健,一同串謀與其他人妨礙司法公正,即就荃灣法院刑事案件2016年第2496號的相關刑事案件,虛假地表示洪智謙沒有要求馬家健接收上述相關案件的郵包;聲稱洪智謙並不涉及於上述相關案件。據了解,洪智謙暫時未被列入證人列表。

    控方由高級檢控官(副主管)潘藹蓮代表。控方表示,兩名被告串謀妨礙司法公正,要求馬家健承擔所有刑責,以撤銷同案被告洪智謙的刑責,案情嚴重。控方稱犯罪時間橫跨10個月,仍在調查其他涉案者,不排除檢控更嚴重控罪,加上控方證人馬家健的法庭文件較多,需時調查,申請押後案件至11月29日再訊,並反對被告保釋。

    兩名被告均有申請保釋。主任裁判官嚴舜儀稱案情嚴重,擔心陳強利干擾證人,他之前有潛逃紀錄,拒絕讓他保釋;並批准張曉惠以30萬元保釋,須每晚11時至翌早7時守宵禁令,不得離港及交出旅遊證件,逢周六到警署報到。

    11. 〃What Is Palestine?
      The word Palestine derives from the Greek word, Philistia, which dates to Ancient Greek writers' descriptions of the region in the 12th century B.C. Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire in World War I to 1948, Palestine typically referred to the geographic region located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Arab people who call this territory home have been known as Palestinians since the early 20th century. Much of this land is now considered present-day Israel.

      More than 135 United Nations member countries recognize Palestine as an independent state, but Israel and some other countries, including the United States, don’t make this distinction.

      Palestine’s Early Roots
      Scholars believe the name “Palestine” originally comes from the word “Philistia,” which refers to the Philistines who occupied part of the region in the 12th century B.C.

      Throughout history, Palestine has been ruled by numerous groups, including the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Fatimids, Seljuk Turks, Crusaders, Egyptians and Mamelukes.

      From about 1517 to 1917, the Ottoman Empire ruled much of the region.

      When World War I ended in 1918, the British took control of Palestine. The League of Nations issued a British mandate for Palestine—a document that gave Britain administrative control over the region, and included provisions for establishing a Jewish national homeland in Palestine—which went into effect in 1923.

      The Partition of Palestine
      In 1947, after more than two decades of British rule, the United Nations proposed a plan to partition Palestine into two sections: an independent Jewish state and an independent Arab state. The city of Jerusalem, which was claimed as a capital by both Jews and Palestinian Arabs, was to be an international territory with a special status.

      Jewish leaders accepted the plan, but many Palestinian Arabs—some of whom had been actively fighting British and Jewish interests in the region since the 1920s—vehemently opposed it.

      Arab groups argued that they represented the majority of the population in certain regions and should be granted more territory. They began to form volunteer armies throughout Palestine.

      Israel Becomes a State
      In May 1948, less than a year after the Partition Plan for Palestine was introduced, Britain withdrew from Palestine and Israel declared itself an independent state, implying a willingness to implement the Partition Plan.

      Almost immediately, neighboring Arab armies moved in to prevent the establishment of the Israeli state. The 1948 Arab-Israeli War that ensued involved Israel and five Arab nations—Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. By the war's end in July 1949, Israel controlled more than two-thirds of the former British Mandate, while Jordan took control of the West Bank, Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

      The 1948 conflict opened a new chapter in the struggle between Jews and Palestinian Arabs, which now became a regional contest involving nation-states and a tangle of diplomatic, political and economic interests...〃

    1. You probably know these things better than I do. When I saw the swift action of the police after the Court of Appeal's judgment was delivered, I already presumed the police have already started investigating the case beforehand and were waiting for the delivery of the judgment which marks the completion of the judicial process and make arrest after. You now understand what I meant to say about interference. Read Ming Pao's update news today. It says Andrew Chan already knew police were investigating the case at the time he passed the sentence.

  10. 坦言集:港人賣國
    十二叛逃案中的李宇軒、陳梓華的法院供詞,把不為人知的顛覆組織、人事與作為暴露,相信還有不少細節未公開。國安處應掌握更詳細的情況。但公開的已足以把黎智英入顛覆國家之罪,其餘資訊也使中央及特區政府了解到整個過程,有利進一步緝捕和建立起防禦的體制。美國在港發動顏色革命失敗,卻給中央政府掌握到它的做法與組織人事,或許未一網成擒,卻已大致摧毀。不少人逃亡海外,在香港的美國扶植勢力便大大受壓。今後的各個案件進一步審訊,當可把更多的人緝捕。美國是大大失敗,證明美國的陰謀即使精細規劃、策動,只要中央政府堅持和敢於鬥爭,香港不會淪為吉爾吉斯和烏克蘭,為顏色革命所折騰。中國的強大,在於政治和組織的決心與能力。

    李宇軒的供詞顯示出黎智英是港獨活動的組織者、資助者。當然黎背後還有美國軍方和情報系統,他也不是動用本人的資財。一是美國來的資金;二是在動亂期間在香港金融市場的操作賺取的巨資。其中也當然是與美國的一些金融資本合作,實際是用香港金融市場的錢來支助港獨與動亂。單以李宇軒與陳梓華為例(他們也不是港獨與動亂的主力),便有多次眾籌,籌得幾千萬元經費。眾籌是掩飾黎及美國的資金,也欺騙一些無知者的少數奉獻。美國用作海外顛覆的資金數以億美元計,通過公開的政府民主基金與組織,以及在海外NGO投資輾轉來港的資金,數目龐大,但十分難追溯源頭,加上眾籌更為隱蔽。在這樣龐大資金推動下,便足可組織、推動、收買各種人物來從事叛亂。中國從來不缺賣國賊,何況有小人物也可有千萬元的賄賂。美國在烏克蘭發動顏色革命,是由駐當地使館用飛機運送數以噸計的美元現鈔來作經費,香港是國際金融中心,運錢來香港分發更為容易。

    事實上香港的港獨與動亂,一如美國在別國策動的顏色革命,都是用濫發的美鈔來推動。看起來是民眾自發,實際上是美國用錢買回來,加上無知愚蠢的一些群眾與所謂精英。回歸前發動不了,回歸後卻風湧雲起,便是回歸後沒有去殖民地化,反卻大力推行殖民地的教育、文化和精英勢力,此所以才在盛世中爆發亂世式的動亂。

    去惡務盡,國安處好應在香港社會進一步依法清洗賣國之徒!
