I smell dynamite

November 21, 2008

It’s unusual that an old case comes to the public attention after so many months, the intention is suspicious, so I smell dynamite.

The utmost stupidity

November 20, 2008

Came across a very weired article on NY Time. Needless to say I am again surprised at how much imagination these “journalists” (if indeed that’s what their motto suggests they are) have on anything, I mean literally anything, even remotely related to China as country with multiple ethnic groups.

Following the author’s logic, if the early dwellers in a region were not the same as the current residents, then whatever is controling this region, including political, economic infrastructure, would be illegitimate? If this is true, then the descendants of what’s preserved in the American Indian Museum should immediately kick those of all the colonists and slaves back to Europe and Africa. Obviously the author is playing dumb himself too. From his last name, “Wong”, he or his ancestors must have come from Hong Kong, so this makes me wonder, was this trip (to Xinjiang) he took to search his lost soul or those of his ancestors in China? Does he even know in this world there is word called “S-H-A-M-E-L-E-S-S”?

Zeitgeist, The Movie

Putting in the context of current economic crisis, some sayings in this movie do appear to make sense, although this is not an endorsement to the content of this video, just food for thought.

Definition of Ally

An entity or country that one can attack whenever and wherever one wants, even across half the globe.

The Russian are indeed losers, they just crossed their border, so it had to be an invasion.

The denial game

September 4, 2008

As what I have been expected all the time, the “coalition force” again denied that they killed innocent people but insisted that the slain were either terrorists or people helping terrorists. While to the point that they cannot deny any more, they would play dumb again, a practical tactic that works all the time, no matter how ugly this will portray them. Regardless, the Afgans and Pakistanis have no man power or strong will to fight back, that I am sure. Perhaps that is the price for being an “ally”, little countries like Afgan, Pakistan, Iraq, and…. oh I almost forgot, the Republic of Georgia, although that’s beside the story.

Jee, this is hilarious!

September 3, 2008

Came across this video, it says solar powered lights in Bagdad make the street safe. The puzzle I have is, since it’s safe already, how come the reporter is still wearing both helmet and bulletproof vest? Any idea, people? CNN obviously failed to paint a rosy picture of the Bagdad, so it had to go back to entertain itself, what is that called, mental masturb*****?

And regarding the associated story that features a Tibetan woman using a solar water boiler, such pictures were actually widely available in Chinese textbooks (Tibet is potentially the best palce to use solar energy in China due to its lowest cloud cover, don’t believe me, go ask a 6th grader in a Chinese school that has basic geography knowledge ), and the first time I remember seeing it was at least twenty some years ago. However, the intention hiding behind all this is sinister as I sense it. First, CNN keeps bring up “Tibet” (that’s the key word). Second, the implication is that the Tibetans are not like the evil people in the rest of China, they not only have culture that is worth preserving, but they use cleaner energy. So, to the Dalai Lama followers, you have one more piece of justification to “free Tibet”. For me, I wouldn’t hesitate to bet my one dollar for anyone who can find a “Made in China” tag on the water boiler, even that means I will lose my $1 for sure.

Killing in Pakistan

What a familiar story from time to time wherever the invaders are present. Who are they going to accuse for the fault, Taliban? What is the word “sovereignty” that those idiots kept saying about Georgia just days ago? Is this an assault of sovereignty of the Pakistan, not to mention the dead are again likely civilians? I thought this could be an easy eye catching headline everywhere but looks like media like CNN is still keeping its head in the sand at least up to now. It was in early morning news on NPR, so wake up, morons!

Pity to the puppet

August 29, 2008

This debate has been going on for days and neither side can show any concrete evidence about the identities of people killed during the airstrike, or can they and dare they? I am not surprised if these people were indeed innocent children. On the other hand, I feel pity toward the frustration on the Afgan side. They are on the ground after all, go take pictures of broken bodies and limbs after the airstrike, instead of arguing with people that use satelite images to examine the dead bodies. I bet the military can’t tell the difference between a 14-year old body from a 18-year old one, unless they can look over the “baby teeth” like some knucklehead accusing some Olympic athelets. So I am curious about what’s being held back, one possible explanation is that the puppet does need manipulation (manhandling) because it can’t do things on its own.

Sensationalism is the KEY

August 24, 2008

This morning I heard an interesting comment on NPR about the “big foot carcase” report recently appeared on the mass media. That is: when the world is in turmoil – Georgian war, Iraq, declining economy, subprime crisis, why such a piece of obviously fake news that was originated from a used car dealer’s press conference would attract so much attention (if you still remember a couple years ago the producer of the Washington bigfoot admitted, through his son’s mouth, that he played the world, after his death). Well, the answer is short, the media here is dying for a big buzz and on the other hand, people seem to like to be fooled. It’s so much like the Tibet issue that is steamed and stir-fried, over and over again, for the sake of taste. News neutrality has been a joke after all…

Bibles seized in China airport

Quote:

“Under Chinese law, it is illegal to bring printed religious material into the country if it exceeds the amount for personal use. The group distributes the Bibles through a local shop owner in Kunming, according to Klein.

Klein said he’s been bringing Bibles into China for 21 years and had no idea he was breaking Chinese law…”

This is interesting, this guy obviously needs to read the regulations more carefully, breaking them repeatedly in the past without punishment doesn’t mean he can get away with it all the time. What is he whining about?
