Free Lectures" "Changhua Positive Energy" who is good at negative attacks

An unnamed election banner appeared in the southern Changhua countryside, decontextualizing the Democratic Progressive Party's Changhua County Mayor candidate Chen Suyue as "not supporting the exemption of health insurance premiums for those over 65 years old." Xiao Jingtian, chairman of the Changhua County Party Committee of the Kuomintang, came forward and admitted that the banners were made under his instruction, and the manufacturer did not wait for him to add his personal signature before hanging them up. "There was indeed an oversight."

Recently, an election banner "Chen Suyue does not support the exemption of health insurance premiums for those over 65 years old" appeared in the South Changhua area. The election campaign deemed it unsigned and inconsistent with the facts, and has appointed a lawyer to file a lawsuit. (File photo, provided by President Chen Suyue) Wei Pingzheng, the candidate for Changhua County Magistrate of the Kuomintang, was recommended by Xiao Jingtian. Wei Pingzheng served as Xiao Jingtian’s defense lawyer in the Beitou election bribery case and was successful in acquitting him in the first trial, which laid the foundation for his success. Wei Pingzheng's only electoral experience was when he failed to win the election as head of Shetou Township 20 years ago. He returned to his hometown by parachute and was not familiar with the place where he was born. The auxiliary election work was all directed and dispatched by Xiao Jingtian. Xiao Jingtian shouldered the responsibility of instigating the production of smear banners, cutting through Wei Pingzheng and building a firewall to prevent judicial disputes from spreading to candidates.

It is necessary to make it clear whether Wei Pingzheng knows or not. Knowing in advance that he is collaborating and breaking the law is the worst example; even if he insists on not knowing, it will not confirm the rumors that he is just a puppet manipulated by Xiao Jingtian!

Looking back at the negative attack banners hung in Changhua elections in previous years, Xiao Jingtian is full of misdeeds. In addition to smearing and spreading rumors, what he is best at is smearing and spreading rumors, which is like the original version of "cognitive warfare".

From cloth war to smearing cloth

Six years ago, when he was running for the Legislative Council with Chen Suyue, Xiao Jingtian launched a banner war: he hung up two waves of banners, including "DPP burns coal, first in lung adenocarcinoma", distorting the fact that the ten coal-fired units of the Taichung Thermal Power Plant were planned and constructed during the Kuomintang administration. Densely packed cloth strips not only pollute the cityscape, but may also block traffic views.

At the same time, a large number of "Ruan Wants to Have Grandchildren" banners appeared in various townships in Changhua. They also attacked Chen Suyue by name, deliberately spreading false information in relatively conservative rural areas, misleading that same-sex marriage would result in grandparents having no heirs. In hindsight, I'm afraid it has something to do with Xiao Jingtian.

Six years ago, the banner war was in vain. Chen Suyue defeated Xiao Jingtian and was re-elected. She won the highest number of votes in the county and laid the political capital to move to the county magistrate. Now that the two met on a narrow road, Xiao Jingtian repeated his old tricks and once again launched a mud war, using sensational words to incite panic and disgust among the grassroots people. The Wei Pingzheng camp uses the homophonic word "Changhua Positive Energy" as the main theme of the campaign, but in fact all they do is filthy and negative attacks!

Based on Xiao Jingtian's rich experience in making smear banners in the past, he claimed that the manufacturer's negligence was leaked before the signature was signed. This far-fetched argument is completely unconvincing. No one is deceiving Changhua voters as if they were three-year-old children.

The election situation is sluggish and only negative attacks remain

Wei Pingzheng's popularity in the polls is only 10%, and the election situation continues to be a stagnant water. He can't play any new tricks and can only use the old tricks of negative attacks. He simply launched the "Daily Question" to hype up his political reputation. Being reduced to a echo of Fu Kunqi, the convener of the KMT Legislative Yuan caucus, Wei Pingzheng did not hesitate to tie the bomb of disorder and chaos in Congress to himself. Whether it was the lack of substance to discuss the surprise drug-driving law amendment, or the huge price increase of the farmer's subsidy to 15,000 yuan, he used it as a political show tool. The dignified legal person finally resorted to manipulating fear and spreading rumors to attack. Wei Pingzheng is an out-and-out "Changhua negative energy"!
