Listening to Wolf Blitzer on CNN Trash China and do Huge Coverage of Protests agains Olympics |
|
is kind of funny. On the one hand I wondered why CNN NEVER COVERED the "MILLIONS WHO MARCHED AGAINST INVASION OF IRAQ...BEFORE it BEGUN" ...but OTOH...I thought either Wolf/CNN got a call from angry Chinese/Tibetan Americans (HIGH ROLLERS) who are angry with China and so CNN decided to cover it ALL!
I thought about Hillary calling for the other Candidates to have Bush Boycott Olympics and I thought it was a good CALL by Hillary.
Where IS OBAMA on this issue. Isn't his Sister married to a Chinese-American? It must be a big conflict for him.
I hope he will speak out about this. I know Hillary "panders" but she DID get off the dime on this one ...raising a flag to us POPULIST DEMS...and I did like what she said in her "challenge" to the rest of the Candidates.
It was a good move by Hillary. (I don't supporte either Hillary or Obama...just watching this ongoing Dem Fight...from a distance)

Alone please...it's there time. Politics should be kept out of the Olympics and the ceremonies leading to it. Is there no peace any place?!

6. China is (was) the least of world's problems |
|
China is capable of cutting its losses by cancelling the Olympics- and looking at the rest of the world as its enemy. While this might be agreeable to those whom China offends, it being communist, and yellow-bellied too, etc; to those of us anxious to see the bush regime mothballed forever, so the political clean up can begin and history can be mobilized in the good fight for human dignity everywhere along with a healthy global environment etc. China has never had the type of democracy we enjoy, but one of the features of economic progress is the enpowerment of the people, so hopefully Tibet can some day share with the Chinese people the fruits of freedom from tyranny. The CIA funded anti-China campaign (made possible by the granting of the Olympic Games to Beijing in the first place!) has already set back the hopes for progress regards China and its actions (not the least of which is the way China treats cats!) The Chinese government and people will now be united in loathing for the rest of the world, or at least that element which thinks sabatoging China's re-entry into world society, if you will, and doing so AFTER inviting China to host the games. Only a few years ago such an idea as having China host anything would have been preposterous! Just the fact cnn and woof blitzer etc are indulging themselves at China's expense must give a hint to China's critics that something is very wrong. These goofs are busheviks, and they're still at large, still trying to confuse and confound any judgement against bush, and against them. The dalai lama is and always has been an asset of western spy agencies. Obviously. China occupied Tibet because it is next to her, like Canada is to USA, and if China hadn't occupied Tibet, India (as a western proxy) would have, and remember China and India have shot it out a couple times since 1949...

7. I will agree that it's NOT CHINA's FAULT they sent food & other Goods over here to kill |
|
our Children and our pets through Lead Crayons and Toys and that Wheat Gluten Thing for our Pets. It's not China's fault they send in CRAP Vitamins that millions of Americans take every day or that their clothes are imported with Cat and Dog Fur on the collars and that the goods "smell bad" when they come in ...including their Cloth Liz Clayborne Shoes that retail for $50 bucks along with other designers but they are crap that any Discount Store in the early 90's would have REJECTED.
It's NOT CHINA's FAULT..It's AMERICAN TRADE POLICY TO "push back on China" to become the "Neo-Con's VIEW of DEMOCRATIC." AND...it's our Multi-National Dream that China bought our "Junk Real Estate Bonds through the "Carry Trade" that allowed the US "Mortgage Melt Down."
No...it's not China's Fault....from Richard Nixon through Ronald Reagan they were happy to OFFSHORE AMERICAN JOBS! They thought that they were very "liberal" in doing this. (they didn't have to pay to upgrade AMERICAN FACTORIES to get rid of POLLUTION...they would just SHIP IT ALL OFF SHORE!) They were really GREAT for the American Environment in not requiring the Shoe/Tanning Factories/Textile Mills/Steel Industry and the REST...to make their "Emissions SAFER" ...they just SHIPPED THE WHOLE DAMNED THING OFF TO Chinese and Indonesian Children to live in filth and be part of Dickensian Child Labor Violations.
Those "Free Traders/Neo-Cons and Wall St. Libertarians ...DID GOOD! It's amazing what MONEY $$$$$$$$$$'s can do for a Public Relations Campaign agains AMERICANS! We are so GULLIBLE...we are SO KIND...WE BELIEVE ANYTHING...if it's Packaged and Marketed in a way we can "Understand." :rofl:
