Tibet has "remained a mysterious country," says the Dalai Lama, and the mystery extends even to himself. Ever since the spiritual leader fled to Dharamsala, India, after being forced by the Chinese to leave his home country in 1959, his only information about Tibet has come from eyewitness accounts. He tries to meet with every refugee who makes it through the Himalayas. http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2014/10/04/353570578/the-dalai-lama-talks-chinese-reforms-tibetan-challenges
Jacob Zumas government accused of selling its sovereignty to China for refusing to admit exiled Tibetan spiritual leader
The Dalai Lama has accused South Africa of bullying after authorities there failed to give him a visa to attend a summit of Nobel peace laureates.
His comments, at a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of his 1989 Nobel peace prize, followed claims that the peace summit had been cancelled after several other laureates pulled out in protest. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/02/nobel-peace-summit-south-africa-dalai-lama-visa

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday hailed visiting South African President Jacob Zuma as China's "good friend", months after the latter's government refused the Dalai Lama a visa. http://www.timeslive.co.za/politics/2014/12/04/china-s-xi-hails-south-africa-s-zuma-as-china-s-good-friend
South African President Jacob Zuma has defied human rights critics by beginning a mainly trade visit to China. Pretoria has thrice declined entry visas for the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan leader reviled by Beijing.
China is South Africa's largest trading partner and the two countries are members of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, alongside Brazil, Russia and India.
China imports many South African raw materials and South Africa imports Chinese manufactured goods. The $24 billion in trade is heavily weighted in China's favor.
Zuma's governing African National Congress (ANC) was supported during the apartheid era by Moscow, but in recent years it has become pro-China. http://www.dw.de/zuma-seeks-china-trade-defies-critics/a-18109863

Also, the number of comments, the content of those comments, typographical errors, spacing between words in copy and the names of Opening Posts create a usable Chinese numeric code Chinese satellite teams use focused satellite technology to create, especially with writers they cause to be popular, which NSA online agents refuse crack, edcipher or acknowledge.

(15,235 posts)Readers should notice the # sign in the headline and the way EricGarner is run together as a single name.
Also pay attention to the massive number of obvious typos in copy:

Still with all these probems this Opening Post was recommended to the "Greatest Page" by 99 readers at 9:18 AM on 12/5/14.
Let's not pretend that NSA agents have not noticed these kind of problems all over the internet and refuse to do anything about the.

(15,235 posts)Why do I now have only 3 recommendations, instead of four, like I had a few minutes ago? Is it code? What are agents of the National Security Agency attempting to hide?
