Important
There is no English media actually reported any key facts that indicate nature of the 1 July Riot of 2019 in Hong Kong was ''robbery'' rather than ''brave and peaceful grass roots protest.'' The official narrative of ''polite protesters'' inside of the illegally occupied Legislative Counsel complex was turned out to be Western mainstream media's fake narrative as usual. It was a locally sized colour revolution attempt which officially targeted the 4th. chief executive of Hong Kong Carrie Lam however this destabilising operation was more similar with the CIA financed robbery of North Korea Embassy in Madrid, Spain on February 22, 2019. The main aim of the ''robbery'' in the name of ''brave and peaceful grass roots protest'' was to steal classified governmental documents, electric devices such as CPU hard disks. Amendment of Hong Kong Extradition Bill was already failed at the time of the robbery started however they used its last ''momentum'' to conduct the operation. It critically differs from the NED backed Sunflower Movement in Taiwan. Moreover, the organising role ''Civil Human Rights Front'' is just a cover for 48 member parties and organisations of the opposition including NED financed parties such as Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor, Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, Hong Kong Journalists Association, Democratic Party, Civic Party, Labour Party, Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions and others. Actions of six major figures of the opposition during the riot proved true narrative of the entire provocation. One is activist of Occupy Central (2014), Pan Haochao (潘浩超), the second is presenter of Declaration of Hong Kong Protesters (2019), Brian Leung (梁繼平), the third one is opposition member of legislative counsel Claudia Mo Man-ching (毛孟靜) and the other one is a leading robbery member, Cheng Chung-tai（鄭松泰), separatist agitator Joe Yeung (楊逸朗) and the leader of the separatist student organisation Students Independence Union, Chan Ka-kui Wayne (陳家駒).
Facts
1. On July 1, 2019, opposition led ''Civil Human Rights Front'' student protestors who wearing yellow helmets , black masks and black T shirts violently stormed into Legislative Counsel building during Police approved ''Peaceful Protest.'' On the contrary to the official narrative of ''Polite Protesters,'' they intruded violently Secretary room of Legislate of Counsel and ''Pro-Beijing'' party offices to steal classified documents and hard disks of their computers. One of them required other ''Polite Protesters'' to not touch anything without gloves when they stole documents and hard disks. TVB video reporter shows legislative counsel member Cheng Chung-tai（鄭松泰) instructed these ''Polite Protesters'' at the sight of intrusion. He called both police and journalist ''a dog,'' and warned the ''Polite Protesters'' to avoid them. Cheng Chung-tai（鄭松泰) used a smartphone to get location of so called ''a dog'' in the building during the 3 hour robbery.

2. On July 1, 2019, Brian Leung (梁繼平) a student who used to be part of Taiwan Sunflower Movement announced the Declaration of Hong Kong Protesters at the occupied Legislate Counsel. He was only one unmasked protester during the robbery of the building. And he is majoring in political science at Washington University. Although Brian Leung (梁繼平) agitated rioters for storming over the legislate counsel building, he already booked an airline ticket to fly back to Washington via Taiwan before the riot taking place. Then he flied away immediately after the police retrieved the building from the occupation. On July 2 early morning, as planned before the riot, Brian Leung (梁繼平) successfully escaped from Hong Kong before police capture him. (2)

逃犯條例：七一衝立會站台發言 傳梁繼平已離港
立法會在7月1日被大批示威者衝擊，當晚在議事廳內、唯一拉低口罩發表宣言的示威者梁繼平，是香港大學學生刊物《學苑》前總編輯、《香港民族論》編者之一，目前在華盛頓大學攻讀政治學博士課程。據梁繼平朋友圈消息指出，梁已離開香港前往美國。
消息透露，梁繼平當晚在立法會不停鼓勵激進分子留守繼續衝擊，但其實他本人在七一當天早已訂好機票，7月2日清晨便離境前往台北，被質疑一早做好潛逃外地的準備。有意見認為，種種迹象顯示梁繼平或早已和台灣太陽花運動有千絲萬縷的關係，亦有傳他與外國的社運人士有聯繫。
時事評論員陳雲生分析，在多場反修例示威行動中，示威者都不願除下口罩，擔心「廬山真面目」曝光，日後或被檢控，但梁公然在鏡頭前除下口罩發表宣言，之後旋即離港，顯示他在衝擊前早已做好準備離港，「佢自己有晒後路，就煽動其他年輕人一齊衝，係非常無義氣，遺棄咗跟隨佢嘅人，係好唔負責任。」
陳又質疑，梁繼平能在短時間內離開香港，相信有外國勢力在背後穿針引線，「唔係佢想走就走到。」他寄語年輕人認清事實，不要被人利用，否則在衝動下可能作出錯誤決定，如涉及違法行法，將付上一生前途。
另外，有網民發起明日(7日)由尖沙咀遊行至高鐵西九龍站，隨時引發新一輪衝擊及混亂，今日網上流傳工黨李卓人在高鐵西九龍站接受外國傳媒訪問，未知是否與明日遊行有關。

3. Before broke into the legislate counsel complex, some opposition party members ''tried to prevent'' the table trolley attack and the intrusion of the building from their own masked comrades. opposition member of legislative counsel Claudia Mo Man-ching (毛孟靜) was one of them. She cried at the rioters: ''think about your mama!''; ''Riot is a crime for 10 year sentence!'' (3)

【引渡惡法】強攻90分鐘鐵籠車衝擊立法會 示威人士：我哋預咗俾人拉
在七一遊行前1小時，立法會大樓上演一幕大衝突，當時集結在立法會大樓外的示威人士突然發動突襲，當中數名較激進的示威人士推着一輛鐵籠車撞擊立法會大樓大門玻璃，當時包括梁耀忠、毛孟靜、鄺俊宇、張超雄、郭家麒及林卓廷等多名立法會議員在場勸阻，並以身阻擋鐵籠車。當時毛孟靜曾苦勸示威人士，「你哋衝入去，係會當成暴動，要坐10年㗎。」但有示威人士稱：「我哋預咗俾人拉，交畀我哋啦。」其後衝擊行動繼續，同一時間大批戴上頭盔、盾牌的警員守在大樓，並舉起紅旗示警。雙方衝突一觸即發。最後示威人士成功以鐵籠車撞毀大門玻璃，立法會內警員亦施放胡椒噴霧，但示威人士並未進入大樓。這次衝擊行動歷時逾兩小時，事後有指該數名帶頭衝擊、表現較激進的示威人士事後不知所終，而在場其他示威人士未再有行動。

However, some unconfirmed source said that Claudia Mo Man-ching (毛孟靜) just tried to stop her own son from breaking into the building no other rioters. Later Claudia Mo Man-ching (毛孟靜) herself denied that claim because her own sons are in a foreign country for studying abroad. She encouraged opposition student protesters passionately however she never encouraged her own sons to attend opposition protests. All attendees were other people's sons and daughters. (4)

煽動衝擊 引火自焚
反對派鼓動示威者抗爭衝擊後，立法會備受摧殘，連大樓內的電腦硬件都被掠去一空。示威者甚至連立法會餐廳也不放過，雞蛋盡失，雪櫃部分飲品被喝掉，僅放下數百元就當找數，事後政客及爛果報還要在社交網站「讚揚」示威者高質素，請問區區數百元夠找甚麼數？何高質素之有？
當局初步估計，維修立法會起碼耗費數以千萬元計，十月前都不可能復會，多少民生議題被延誤，多少經濟損失在背後，堪稱難以估量；至於被偷走的電腦硬件，內藏官員、議員及其助理的個人私隱，會否遭到示威者在網上公開甚至上門滋擾，無人說得準，若這樣的示威者都叫高質素，這個世界恐怕無人不是人上人了。
事實勝於雄辯，示威者有破壞無建設，所作所為跟江洋大盜無異，反對派盲目歌頌，強詞奪理，根本站不住腳，無非是誤導公眾以煽動更多年輕人反政府罷了。政客可能也自知詞窮理屈，說到無話可說，就說比起港府的暴政，破壞立法會不算甚麼；再不然就諉過警方擺空城計引人衝擊，是非顛倒，黑白不分，莫此為甚。
最虛偽的是，七一當日不少政客假仁假義擋在示威者面前阻止他們衝入立法會，當中毛孟靜哭得梨花帶雨，叫示威者「諗吓媽媽先」、「暴動罪坐十年」，最七情上面。事後有傳聞指該名被她哭勸的示威者正是其兒子，儘管後來她澄清兩子都在外國，又強調兒子前途一片光明，問題是，既然違法達義是偉大光明正確的，政客又說示威者的所為才是真正愛港的，為何她不召兒子回港一起衝擊？難道自己的兒子特別矜貴，別人的兒子就你死你賤？
說穿了，政客煽動年輕人衝擊無非為了選票，現在得米了，當然不想示威者連立法會也拆掉。然而請鬼容易送鬼難，年輕人一股衝動禁也禁不住，更多更大亂象陸續有來，政客勢必引火自焚。

4. Telegram is used for planning riots in Hong Kong by separatist ''student'' groups since 2018. Moreover, Students Independence Union who claimed to be responsible for the stolen hard disks and classified documents is not an official member of ''Civil Human Rights Front,'' and they are not any registered political party. DotDotNews reporter got a sound recording file in which some plotter who supposed to be separatist agitator Joe Yeung (楊逸朗) claimed that their main goal is to grab seats of ''Pro-Beijing'' members at the legislative counsel by stealing computer hard disks of ''Pro-Beijing'' and getting their registered voters' privacies. Beside this, the leader of the separatist student organisation Students Independence Union, Chan Ka-kui Wayne (陳家駒) instructed riots to break into ''Pro-Beijing'' members' offices, secretary office and staff offices to steal classified documents.

揭「獨人」籲偷建制機密 圖操縱選舉
批狂徒七一攻進立法會大樓大肆破壞的背後，隱藏著選舉陰謀！記者當晚接獲一段絕密錄音，內容疑似為「香港民權抗爭」發言人、「港獨武夫」楊逸朗，透過組群鼓動狂徒硬闖建制派議員辦公室，目標是盜取建制派的電腦硬盤，聲稱：「要取得所有選民登記資料」，指此舉可以「攞走建制派的議席」，相信是企圖藉此操縱年底的區議會選舉及明年的立法會選舉。除楊逸朗外，「港獨」組織「學生獨立聯盟」召集人陳家駒亦在社交媒體帖文，涉煽動群眾闖入建制派議員辦公室、秘書處或職員辦事處盜取機密資料。
在「獨人」發出指示後，記者在現場發現大批狂徒立刻把目標轉到立法會秘書處、職員辦公室及建制派議員的辦公室，他們除把電腦硬盤盜走，亦有人撬開辦公室內的文件櫃，取走立法會大樓的機密文件。據悉，事後證實立法會大樓遺失大量電腦硬盤。

1. There are 30 countries have extradition treaties with Hong Kong. All of them have been gradually materialised since 1999. Such as Australia; Belgium; Canada; Czech Republic; Denmark; Finland; France; Germany; India; Indonesia; Ireland; Israel; Italy; Japan; Korea, R.O.; Malaysia; Netherlands; New Zealand; Philippines; Poland; Portugal; Singapore; South Africa; Spain; Sri Lanka; Sweden; Switzerland; Ukraine; United Kingdom and United States of America. List of Mutual Legal Assistance Agreements (Legislative References) (As at 21.11.2018)
The opposition rioters completely self-contradicted by opposing the dead extradition bill. Hong Kong is just one of local cities of China, and it is not a country at all. Extradition of fugitives from Hong Kong to mainland is equal with extradition of fugitives from Okinawa to Tokyo. It makes the US backed ''protests'' separatist moves. There is no doubt that the opposition is separatists. Extradition to these listed countries is ridiculous that these listed countries are human rights abusers and sponsors of destabilisation of China. This kind of self-contradiction proves that their statements are highly biased and driven by foreign interests. (6)

2. Use of Telegram: Hong Kong separatists frequently use Telegram to plot and communicate with its members during riots. One of opposition media HK01 (香港 01) got inner circle information shared in the Telegram. They call ''protest'' with the cryptic line ''Go to picnic.'' Telegram is seemed as secure SNS than Facebook and any other SNSs because of its encrypting function, after-read deletion, time limited reading function etc. fit their secret and unspeakable plotting against China. It is quite surprising that the opposition media use telegram to communicate with the riots and provide legal support to them, moreover, HK01 released not publicly available news on the occupation of legislate counsel. It exceeds media function, it's actually part of the riots, assisting them by using the same secret channel. Thus, Mainland China blocked Telegram in 2015 due to the weaponisation of its use by US backed anti-China organisations. (7)

如何在《香港反送中》遊行即時且安全的通訊？Telegram 高隱私特性成現場最佳利器
香港逃犯條例二讀引發兩岸熱議，被《BBC》稱：是香港 1997 年政權移交中國後最大規模示威。然據新頭殼 報導 ，BBC 記者麥笛文說明，中國「審查員會自動將香港反對引渡逃犯條例的報導過濾」。且香港當地抗爭人士與媒體也以「去野餐」代稱參加遊行。面對未來可能發文下架的狀況，香港媒體《香港 01》採用高隱私通訊軟體 Telegram 進行現場實況、逃犯條例的最新資訊發送，避開政府可能的資訊阻擋。
Telegram 因其訊息加密、高度隱私的特性大受使用者歡迎。其設計不僅支援雙重認證（two-step verification）、點對點加密傳訊，還可以設定訊息「閱後刪除」或「定時刪除」，確保資訊不會留下任何痕跡。
據 報導 ，2015 年中國以「反政府工具」為由封鎖 Telegram 於中國境內使用。報導也指出 Telegram 常獲多項人權組織作為私密通訊使用，以防該國政府走後門竊取機密資訊。可見 Telegram 訊息加密技術嚴密，政府機關皆難以入侵。
在實際加入《香港 01》Telegram 群組後可以發現，原本受政府控制無法在網路發布的文章與現場照片，皆在 Telegram 上曝光。
《香港 01》除了報導使用外，也另開一群組開放民眾發聲，以短文和現場隨拍揭露抗爭最新情形，以及港警、路況檢查等相關情形；另外，《香港 01》也提供律師資料支援與爆料管道。

3. Cheng Chung-tai（鄭松泰), Pan Haochao (潘浩超), Brian Leung (梁繼平), Joe Yeung (楊逸朗) and Chan Ka-kui Wayne (陳家駒)'s involvements proved that this riot was not really decentralised operation as their rioters self-proclaimed during the ''polite protests.'' It's an ensemble show rather than really decentralised random grass roots movement. All opposition stars shared their operations during the riot. Cheng Chung-tai（鄭松泰) instructed rioters in the legislate counsel; Pan Haochao (潘浩超) assaulted police on the street; Brian Leung (梁繼平) brought and announced the Declaration of Hong Kong Protesters which is the same with other following riots (West Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Tuen Mun, Sheung Shui, Sha Tin) since then, Joe Yeung (楊逸朗) and Chan Ka-kui Wayne (陳家駒) planned and conducted the robbery during the occupation.
This is an ensemble operation not decentralised random mass ''protests'' of any kinds.
4. Mass disappointment is that there was no ''pro-Beijing'' mass demonstrations against the opposition riots due to the ruling class' unwillingness to weaken its funded anti-China uprisings. ''Pro-Beijing'' parties are just another representatives of Chambers of Commerce. Furthermore, some interesting phenomenon is an inner split between Tien brothers and other ''pro-Beijing'' members in Legislate counsel's Executive Council. On July 8, 2019, both James Tien Pei-chun (田北俊) and Michael Tien (田北辰) required the ''pro-Beijing'' Liberal Party Chairman Tommy Cheung Yu-yan (張宇人), Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee (葉劉淑儀) and a lawyer Ronny Tong Ka-wah（湯家驊) to quit the memberships.
Tien brothers stand with the opposition. For example, James Tien Pei-chun (田北俊) buried implement Article 23 of the BASIC LAW and both brothers now require the government to accept reform of the political establishment to conduct the Western way of Universal suffrage that would allow Western agents to be elected as governmental officials including the chief executive of Hong Kong. Under the political difficulties, Chinese government should solve the problematic opposition agnates Tien brothers who only benefit the western interests in Hong Kong politics in the cover of ''pro-Beijing'' uniform.

【逃犯條例】葉劉：不支持政府大可脫離建制 田北辰：不知所謂
新民黨主席葉劉淑儀昨日（8日）在記者會上表示，若實政圓桌立法會議員田北辰等人認為不應支持政府，大可公開脫離建制派，以至辭去港區人大代表職位。田北辰今晨（9日）接受港台節目訪問時，就批評有關說法「不知所謂」。
田北辰稱，全國人民代表大會的目的是為了監察中央政府，而自己擔任人大代表期間曾就不同議題發聲，例如銅鑼灣書店事件等，故認為自己並無失職。他又認為身為立法會議員，職責在於監察政府，而非配合政府。
他反駁葉劉淑儀稱行會等同「執政聯盟」的說法，稱所謂「執政聯盟」只是好聽些的字眼，其實也等同幫政府「箍票」。他重申，行會成員不應有政黨背景，並要由政治中立的人擔任，「這些人可以和中央友好，但也不要太唯命是從」。

In sum, the fate of ''Pro-Beijing'' side is doomed by the series of political defeats and inability to counter attack the oppositions during the US-led riots of June and July. The next year's legislative election will be a disaster for the ''Pro-Beijing'' side however it won't be any damage to the entire ruling class because its support on anti-China oppositions. Hong Kong ruling class is similar to Venezuelan opposition who request and welcome US sanctions and interferences against its own people. Their short term economic loss by the supported opposition provocations is limited and it will bring more political independence of the ruling class of Hong Kong from the influence of China.
Who will pay for the aftermaths of their political plots of the ruling class of Hong Kong against China? it will only be its ordinary working class citizens of Hong Kong. Their real social life difficulties, such as real estate price manipulation and resulted huge inequality among its people are unchanged or excavated. The occupation of legislate counsel costed citizens for at least ten million dollars. It will affect their originally limited governmental funding for social welfare.
