We have absolutely no idea at this point.
How about the blog that getting some info about their wedding. Do you believe on that information or do you think the source is trolling them?
We're going to answer with this:
Why would anyone who's in Chris's own personal circle, or who has any involvement with him whatsoever, go straight to a blog on Tumblr to share this kind of tea regarding him?
How would they even know to go to that particular blog?
And, again, WHY would they go there instead of a more reputable place - a place where more people from the public would recognize and see?
It's just odd.
And think about this, too:
What kind of person would do this? What is their reasoning behind this? What's their goal, their endgame? What would they get out of this?
There's ALWAYS a reason.

Ch190 (p5), Lau's offer
Lau suggests they all run away to Shanghai, saying the Aurora Society isn't going to chase them that far. But, to himself, he's thinking that he could control the entire operation (including Ada and the patients), and that he'd gain clout from the elders... and be paid handsomely for this technology and for providing a person who knows how to use it.
He does, however, admit he'd be given the credit for bringing them to China.
He's not entirely honest here how much he hopes to gain from their situation, if they go to Shanghai.
So, all this time, perhaps he's been looking for something -- anything -- he can bring back with him to China, in order to gain the favor of the elders (with Qīng Bāng, as well as within the government) and to make more money.

Dear Taylor Swift (An Open Letter)
Dear Taylor Swift,
I am reaching out because you are extremely successful (read: wealthy) and therefore you hold a lot of power in this country. Part of why I feel so compelled to write this open letter is because I have no idea if you know this. I think you do, and that’s my problem. You have liberal views and call yourself a feminist (at least that’s what a 2014 article confirmed when did I quick search), but you’re always silent. You take comfort in being silence, and your wealth and power allows you to do so. I am so fed up with white liberalism, so I’m channeling the anger that I feel toward every silent rich person with a platform into this letter. It is my responsibility to do everything I can to help my people see the end of a LITERAL. GENOCIDE. (If the concept of genocide isn’t fucking absurd enough, people are disputing what counts as genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid. Can you believe it?!)
I have a few theories as to why you have been dead silent:
a) You have no idea. This will seem far-fetched to most people who have been on the internet in the last four months, but I can definitely see how it’s possible. You could have an amazing algorithm that doesn’t show you any ‘negativity’. You probably know that you can filter out certain words. I think it’s possible for people (read: white, rich) to go through the world and never come in contact with any news they see as ‘not affecting them directly’. Or maybe you have someone who only shows you the nice things your fans post. I thought maybe you personally didn’t use social media, but from what I’ve learned against my will, you love to leave little Easter eggs, so maybe you are still turned in. Maybe you’ve been advised to not address what’s been happening…
b) Your PR team told you to ignore it. C’mon, your PR team has to know that people on the internet are mad that you haven’t said a word about the war crimes being committed by a country you do have ties to… honestly, I don’t even care to look up if you ever performed or been there. (But I do know that your movie still played there.) Is this part of the strategy? Wait for it all to blow over? I see how it worked before. Do you think those articles written about how you famously never speak out about any injustices that don’t affected you directly to the point of messing with your comfort are just from a bunch of haters? Then again, maybe your PR team never even brought it up and we’re back to point a.
c) ‘There’s nothing I can do’ / ‘It’s not my place to speak’. If people are telling you that just a few words from you has the potential to help (even the tiniest of bits) those being systematically bombed to hell for living on their own land, why wouldn’t you? It’s not a hard choice. (Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t know any of this shit, like most Americans. Still.) I feel so useless and I’m trying to do everything in my power to help, but it’s fucking frustrating when you have a big red button and aren’t pressing it. Good news: I am personally inviting you to speak on the issue. (I mean it. Say something.) Issues like genocide, ethnic cleansing, tactical starvation are humanitarian crises that are pretty clear-cut. (Then again, like I said, the past four months have proven otherwise.) You’re not in scientology, are you? You are free to do your own research. (If you need help, I can provide helpful factsheets and links!) But you already know what you think because…
d) Your silence means you have chosen a side. Again, there is plenty of useful sites for you to explore. I implore you to reach across the aisle. (Don’t tell me private jets don’t have Wi-Fi?!) Maybe reach out to your friends Gigi and Bella Hadid. Ask them why they have been getting backlash and dropped by brands. I’d bet anything that you’ve only heard one side.
e) You legally cannot say anything or, at the very least, doing so would jeopardize important business relationships. I don’t give a shit. You are worth a billion dollars. Whatever legal fees could come up would be tens of dollars to you. You are the most successful artist today. You don’t have to rely on anyone else to do whatever the fuck you want. I also don’t care if it’s naïve of me to say. I’m constantly sick to my stomach seeing pictures of bloody, dead children and babies pop up on my social media feed because people are begging for the world to do something.
f) You don’t care. Then I want you to say it.
But you never will. So, if you won’t use your fame, power, and wealth to help then I will use it for you.
You are ignoring the most recent phase of genocide, ethnic cleaning, and settler colonialism. (Look up those terms.) Supporting Palestine is not antisemitic. It’s pretty insulting to claim that such atrocious acts and blatant racism are done for the sake of Judaism, and I’ve heard Rabbis’ echo this sentiment. Judaism is a religion; Zionism is a political movement that uses political tactics like pinkwashing. (I know for a fact you don’t know what that means. Look it up.) Everything you know or heard is probably racist or Islamophobic rhetoric. Maybe you have no interest because you think Muslims are sexist, oppressive people. Unless you’re against all religion, it is hypocritical and xenophobic to think that. (There are also Jews and Christians in Palestine, by the way.) Broaden your circle and learn from the people themselves. (And seriously, look up what pinkwashing means. I think that will be the most relevant to you, especially if you don’t care about all this race crap.)
To see the truth, look to those who have been risking their lives everyday by putting themselves out there publicly to show to the world what is actually happening in Gaza; people like Bisan, Motaz, and a NINE-YEAR-OLD JOURNALIST named Lama. Some of the images and videos they share are beyond inhumane and disturbing. I can’t imagine anyone could see that shit and still think it is justified. (Oh, wait! People online do say that! See: the brainwashed, xenophobic West.) You can even see it straight from the source since they post their crimes on Facebook as casually as a fishing trip. I’m guessing you haven’t seen any of these pictures or videos…
If you’re still thinking ‘what does this have to do with me??’, then damn, you need to go back and everything more closely. You have power and influence and there is reason to act like it doesn’t involve you (see point c). I’ve gotten to the point of writing an open letter because I see comments by Swifties that say Gaza has nothing to do with you. I think I outlined how it does pretty well for someone who can’t focus on anything anymore and thinks everything in life is completely trivial if it’s not spend trying to stop the extermination of Palestinians.
Back to race, your favorite. Arabs (and Muslims) are not foreign, backwards people who bring everything bad upon themselves because they’re stuck in the stone age and all the West tries to do is ‘help’ by ‘spreading’ ‘democracy’. You probably sympathize for your fans who live on occupied land and got to see your movie. I want you to know that what is going on is not a war. Palestine has no army; the tens of thousands who have died in the past four months are civilians, including TEN THOUSAND children, and that’s not even the worst of it. That doesn’t even scratch the surface. The details are fucking horrific, but they are less horrific to the world because what is being done is being done to Arabs and Muslims. (So? Who cares? Jinx!)
Any fan who has a problem with me or anything I said here, fuck off. If you’re angry about this, then you’re probably white and I mean it when I say I’m fucking done with white liberalism. It’s deadly. Again: I can’t handle anymore posts of dead men, women, children, and babies. I can’t take any more of the piercing screams from anguished men, women, and children as they hold onto their dead loved ones. If calling out a white celebrity billionaire even has the slightest chance of changing the current so there will be no more shaking, shell-shocked children, then I’ll do it over and over again.
Taylor, I want a response, and if there is none, you are a coward.
Yours truly,
A Palestinian American
P.S. Not sure if you know this, but let me be the first to tell you that the NFL is a deeply racist organization ❤️
