I watched the opening ceremony. And the first thing that came into my mind was: 1936, 1980, 2008. Again a dictatorship managed to fool the world.

I saw it on Austrian tv and there wasn’t even one single word criticizing China on… whatever you wish. Human rights, Tibet, pollution, whatever. Not one single word. Nothing. The Austrian commentator cheered and praised China (yet he failed to even pronounce Tiananmen correctly, identified the Japanese PM as a member of the Japanese Imperial Family, etc). Not one word about the massacre, instead praises of how nice the square looked these days.

When they formed the “peace dove” the one thing that came into my mind was “how cynical”. they form a peace dove, talk about “one world, one dream” while people in China are arrested simply for saying their opinion, while Chinese soldiers occupy Tibet. What a farce. And yet so many people cheered on it.

Hitler was right when he said “the large mass of people is blind and stupid”.

Am I the only one who thought the torch-lighting ceremony in Beijing was an incredible monument to tackiness? Aside from the fact that it was a mockery of China’s anti-freedom stance, it was like something out of Las Vegas – on sterois and meth.

I would have laughed, had the portent not been so serious.

Moonbats? Uh, it’s been Bushco sucking up to the Chinese government for the past seven years; after all, they share the same motto: profits before people.

To all those that hear the whispers of freedom under the oppression of power and greed. Know that as that oppressor holds you so tight, all will pass, for the grip of oppression is like holding water with a fist. Freedom is holding water with a cupped hand. As those whispers slowly turn back to a conversation don’t forget to bring that hushed conversation into a chorus of song. To create ones freedom is the only way. No one can give you freedom it has to be realized by creating it as a collective thought.

NBC’s coverage of the Olympic opening ceremony was a fawning tribute to China’s dedication to harmony, respect for nature, and cherishing of its peoples of 56 (I think) different ethnic groups. Sorry I can’t give you more, but I had to throw up.

Maybe they’ll fall in nine years (like Hitler’s Third Reich and The USSR). I’m not holding my breath though.

With my mother being Korean, and myself having strong feelings of the issue, Communism would be a cancer best cut out sooner rather than later. Maybe the Nine Year rule will hold (being this: Any totalitarian regime that holds the olympics falls nine years later). I’d like to think that. If China were to no longer be communist, then North Korea would fall very shortly after.

It’s sad that we have a government going after people for deep breathing exercises, and yes, you can quote my dad on that.
