Mark Cuban has publicly condemned the ccp and their human rights violations for multiple years now(rightfully so). The Sands (source of Adelson’s wealth) is operated in part by a man named Wilfred Wong Wai. A “clean” hong kongese government official at a quick glance, but after some further research, its documented that Wong was “a Deputy to the National People’s Congress of the PRC during 1997-2012”. Chinese law states people in his position are to be “representing the interests and will of the people, participate in the exercise of State power”. Putting 2 and 2 together, he aided the ccp’s quest of completely governing hong kong in exchange for political and economic power. With this next bit, do what you want, but Adelson and her husband were (and possibly still are) the largest donors of president Trump, and were large enough donors to the Bush campaign that they were able to attend white house meetings, and advise the presidency on israeli-palestinian relations, while they reportedly “fiercely opposed to a two-state solution”.

    I don’t particularly care about the Chinese front, but these hard right wealthy folks are contently tainting America as they knock on death’s door.

    Adelson’s son died of an OD of coke and heroine. Because of that, he poured money into anti-cannabis organizations and efforts to prevent legalization.

    His wife just parrots what this old miser did, as widows of the wealthy typically do
