History Repeats Itself –
Tiananmen Square
Thousands of people in Hong Kong today defied the police ban to attend the Tiananmen Square vigil. Today marks the 31 year anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre when thousands of people were savagely killed while peacefully protesting.
“Students understood they were given one hour to leave square but after five minutes APCs attacked.
Students linked arms but were mown down including soldiers. APCs then ran over bodies time and time again to make ‘pie’ and remains collected by bulldozer. Remains incinerated and then hosed down drains.
Four wounded girl students begged for their lives but were bayoneted.” per BBC.
DONALD TRUMP IN 1990 on the Tiananmen Square massacre:
“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world—”
