Amazing that the same M$M that ignores protests about the American

[malaise]

slaughter in Iraq have lots of coverage on protests against China. It's even funnier watching GEM$NBC (one of the Olympic partners - sponsor) covering the protests.

The hacks expose themselves yet again.

1. you should have heard the msnbc guy covering the petreaus hearings

talking about how they will soon be over and the general and ambassador can get back to iraq to do what they do best blah blah...

2. What's good for GE is good for

Amerika. Didn't you hear McConnell saying that there's no need for FISA without immunity for the 'korporations' who spied on Americans.

I don't know why they don't just have banners saying they're all fascists. Cover the protests that aren't against Bushco, but ignore the slaughter in Iraq and arrest those protesters. It's hysterically funny.

3. The definition of Fascism.

At least amerikan fascism allows for entertainment.....right?

4. On NPR

they were giving blow by blow reportage of the San Fran rally. Didn't get that kinda coverage at the innumerable massive rallies against the Iraq War.

Maybe folks should look into this and other questions and ask themselves if some larger agenda is driving the coverage.

7. Pardon my cynicism but the West will support anyone

who will help them break up China. I'm waiting to see what excuse they'll use to refuse to repay the Chinese all the gazillions they have borrowed.

I have no love for the Chinese but they haven't done comparable to what the Americans and Brits have done to the people of Iraq and their infrastructure.
I hate fucking hypocrisy and double standards.

I know way too much about the history of the Olympics to give a flying fuck about the corporate games run by fascists and thieves.

I have all of Andrew Jennings books and watch all his documentaries - I even have my own copies on DVD.
