Padma-Dolma Statement Upon Arrest in Beijing

China’s communist government told the IOC that they would open up to more international reporters, and slow the torturing of Tibetan and Chinese people. They claimed they would open up to more humanitarian causes for Tibetan’s, so the International Olympic Committee IOC gave Beijing the Olympics. The Olympics around the world represents “peace” and “harmony,” yet China has managed to hijack that peace and harmony. The human rights for Tibetan’s or the Chinese people in fact have not moved forward, and they have managed to oppress the Tibetan people further and harsher. Many Tibetan’s are still missing, and visitors to Beijing are being kidnapped and/or interrogated for researching these issues.

China’s communist government continues to put on a false face for this alleged “peace” and “harmony” in the name of the Summer Olympics. The Olympics is not about this alleged peace and harmony, but about how much the communist government can get out of this Olympic revenue or how much they pay their athletes to win these games.

It’s a disgrace to the Olympics and the world wide community which believes in the relationship of human rights and the World Olympic way.

Padma-Dolma Statement Upon Arrest in Beijing
Along with four other activists, Padma-Dolma Fielitz, 21, a Tibetan woman from Germany, staged a protest on Aug. 10th at 3:10pm Beijing time just outside the southern entrance of Tiananmen Square. She unfurled a Tibetan flag and was immediately accosted by plain-clothed Chinese police who dragged her off the street into a public building, knocked her down and dragged her across the floor while trying to wrest the flag from her hands. After the flag was torn from her hands, she boldly confronted the crowd of security officials around her.

Free Tibet Activists Raise the Tibetan Flag Prior to Olympic Opening Ceremony; Tackled by Chinese Police

What a sham! The Olympic Games are staged! There is no honor in a staged Olympic game, and this only reminds me of all the military parades that communist countries like to parade, all while oppressing people, not to mention “guests”.

The Olympic Games was allowed in China for the expressed purpose of more freedom for people and Tibetan’s, yet non of this has occurred, and this is evident through deportations of foreign citizens.

One World One Dream?

Free Tibet Activists Raise the Tibetan Flag Prior to Olympic Opening Ceremony; Tackled by Chinese Police : Free Tibet 2008
At just past 7pm, approximately one hour before the Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, two Americans, Jonathan Stribling-Uss, 27, and Kalaya’an Mendoza, 29, and an Argentine-American, Cesar Maxit, 32, staged a symbolic protest near the Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing. At Beituching and Beiching Roads, the last major intersection on Beichen Road leading to the Olympic Park, the three men opened Tibetan national flags. The three men, wearing shirts that read “Team Tibet 08″ were tackled by Chinese security forces within seconds and immediately and forcibly detained.

Man’s Best Friend the Dog gets a Reprieve for the Olympics

What’s on your menu?

No Dog Meat menu’s while China tries to clean up during the Olympics. It also seems like there will be more “police” and military in Beijing than there will be Olympic visitors, with many places off limits.

Every one will be scrutinized because China expects alleged terrorist activities.

Why? Why does China expect all these problems? Always ask why, because behind that there is an answer.

Man’s Best Friend the Dog gets a Reprieve for the Olympics
Dog is off the menu, model planes are grounded and post-office patrons must show identification before mailing a letter. Welcome to Beijing three weeks before the Olympics.

China’s game-ready capital went live yesterday, with double the security screenings at airports, new traffic rules and a ban on “flying objects” as the government seeks to ensure that nothing — from gridlock to a terrorist attack — spoils the country’s coming-out party.

Ghost of Beijing Genocide Olympics. Solidarity for those killed in Darfur, Tibet and for the Chinese people who are tortured and killed for speaking up. May their ghosts be with you.

Indictment Sudan’s President Omar Al Bashir for Genocide

It’s about time somebody goes after these killers! How can the world community just sit around and watch the others continue their killing, torture, cultural genocide of people in the name of their so called progress. Progress isn’t about killing and genocide. Progress is about respecting every one and every thing, but learning as you move on with every individual having freedom and doing no harm.

The International People need to press for the capture of more criminals like these.

On Monday, the International Criminal Court indicted Sudan’s President Omar Al Bashir for genocide. He is charged with killing hundreds of thousands of people in Sudan and its Darfur region, and corralling the surviving women and girls into terrifying camps where they are being quietly and systematically raped until their peoples are destroyed.

In response, Al Bashir’s regime is threatening more terror against Darfurians and the UN, and appealing to powerful international friends who buy oil from and sell weapons to Sudan to give him protection. Al Bashir knows that he will be caught only if other governments, especially Arab and African governments, agree to help the International Criminal Court (for example by arresting him when he travels abroad).

Targeting Al Bashir is our best hope to end the terror of Darfur’s rape camps, and take a major step forward for international justice. Many of Sudan’s neighbours are Muslim countries where rape is a scandalous crime – and Al Bashir’s henchmen have killed and raped thousands of Muslim women. To raise awareness of this, Avaaz is launching a large regional ad campaign, urging leaders to help the ICC. Our ads will run in just a few days, and a full page ad in an Egyptian newspaper is just 3000Euros($5000), so we need just 50,000 Euros ($75,000) to get our message across. Click below to help:

Propaganda: Olympic Torch’s Tibet Visit Is Short and Political

This is pitiful!

This is what the so called “harmony” of the Olympics is all about? The repression of the Tibetan people!

One World One Dream FREE TIBET! A free Tibet is all that matter’s! Olympic games can be held in other years and other FREE countries!

China claims that the Olympics is not about politics, yet they have censored and re-censored, repressed and killed Tibetan people in the name of the Olympics.

Visitors to the Olympics will also be censored and photographed in every location, is that Olympic harmony?

Shame on the Olympic Committee, it’s not about the games it’s about who gets the Olympics regardless of tortures, killings, oppression, stolen organs for transplanting into the purchasers, genocide and false imprisoning for work camps. A country that claims to be so advanced is living in the 18th century.

Olympic Torch’s Tibet Visit Is Short and Political
The visit of the Olympic torch to the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, came and went in about two hours on Saturday. Leaders of the ruling Communist Party probably exhaled once the flame was trundled onto an airplane without incident and flown out of a city that only three months ago had erupted in violent anti-Chinese protests.

March to Tibet Supply Trucks confiscated: Fear of food supply shortage imminent

I would think India would want the Tibetan issue resolved because they apparently don’t like the Tibetan refugees in their country. If this were the case then why would they want to stop the March to Tibet and arrest the Tibetans? The only way this will be resolved is by these types of protests all over because China continues to cover up what they are doing to the Tibetan people and the Tibetan country.

These problems would not be happening if China’s fascist communist government had not confiscated the Tibetan country. What the heck, they are Tibetan people not Chinese, and colonialism is so 19th century. You can’t become an alleged “superpower” by colonialism in the 20th – 21st century.

March to Tibet Supply Trucks confiscated: Fear of food supply shortage imminent
Almost 200kms from the Indo-Tibet border, the marchers are however determined to continue with their march and have made their decision clear to the authorities that they would be willing to forego on food for their resolve in realizing what they set out to achieve.

“In the past months, the March to Tibet has grown into a nonviolent force of 300 determined marchers and even now many Tibetans are on the move to join us,” said Sherab Woeser, a coordinator of the March to Tibet. “The Indian authorities are escalating the situation in their efforts to stop the march, with many hundreds of police stationed along the road, but the 300 marchers remain committed to returning to Tibet.”

On May 27 an estimated force of 1000 police blocked the camp entrance and ordered the marchers to turn back or risk being arrested. Crossing a dry riverbed, the marchers peacefully resorted to a Gandhian style sit-in. They sang the Tibetan National Anthem and chanted prayers for an hour before the police retreated and eventually left the campsite. The same scenario occurred again on May 28. The marchers will continue with their sit-in until the six leaders are released.

Waseda hears Hus upbeat spin

This is interesting because a lot of the posts I see regarding anti-Tibetan poster’s claim that China is a great nation, and I’m not disputing that, I think the Chinese people are great. I don’t appreciate what the government has done to Tibet and the repression of the Tibetan people, and their culture. There’s a great deal of disrespect toward the Tibetan people, of course I have a lot to learn, but basic information is important right now.

It’s nice to see President Hu express that the country is a developing country with a lot of needed work on it’s infrastructure. I was under a different impression from Chinese posters all over the Internet who were anti-Tibet. It was also a breath of fresh air for him not to pressure Japan about WWII, lets move on and learn from the past.

Most communist country’s that swallowed up land during WWII, and retained other countries from WWI have returned land to the people and their own countries.

Waseda hears Hus upbeat spin
China is still a developing country struggling with grave structural problems and needs stable relations with Japan and other nations to ensure its development, Chinese President Hu Jintao said Thursday in a speech at Waseda University in Tokyo.

“China will never fight for hegemony for good, nor try to expand its territory,” Hu told the Okuma Auditorium audience at Prime Minister Yasuo Fukudas alma mater.

Although he did not mention Tibet in his afternoon speech, more than 100 students and protesters — some carrying Tibetan flags — protested Hus visit on campus, urging China to end its repression of Tibet.

“China is still the worlds largest developing country,” Hu said. “Its population is large, its basis is weak, and its development is unbalanced.”

China Attempts to Rewrite Tibetan History (Spiegel)

I think this is clear enough!

Everyones history isn’t great, including China’s history of slaves, or did they write that out of their books.

This is the China we all know or at least the communist party that rules over China and it’s people. Typical propaganda, with nothing or no information that would even taint China’s alleged reputation. They can point, blame and turn Tibetan people into evil villains in their book, but China is the one with all the firepower in that region. Tibetans, if they wanted to wouldn’t even be able to defend themselves from Chinese propaganda or firepower because China is controlling all of that.

Like I had previously mentioned China is to blame for these problems, no one else. China has the control, if they wanted to they can claim that the Dalai Clique is the cause, but that doesn’t carry any weight, and I wouldn’t put it past the CCP to commit a terrorist act and blame it on Buddhist’s. It’s typical CCP work! Other communist fascist countries have done the same thing, that’s how they work.

Doesn’t appear they are trying fix any of the agreements before the Olympics.

China Attempts to Rewrite Tibetan History (Spiegel) [read full story]
A new exhibition on Tibet mounted in China’s capital city portrays farmers who were heavily in debt while the Dalai Lama lived in the lap of luxury. The central message of the propaganda offensive against what Beijing likes to call the “Dalai clique”? China first brought civilization to Tibet.

The Dalai Lama: Beijing is continue its campaign of propaganda attacks against the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader.
The exhibition’s organizers keep a tight grip on security: Police cars and numerous officers stand in the forecourt and visitors have to show their IDs at the ticket office. Inside uniformed and plain clothes police officers are on patrol, as well — and some of them are photographing the crowds.

In this way the authorities are creating a climate of fear — one which fits in with their current propaganda. After the unrest in Tibet and neighboring provinces, the Chinese government has been unremittingly attacking the so-called “Dalai clique,” branding it a terrorist organization which the state now needs to protect its people from.

“The exhibition shows the backwardness and darkness of the old Tibet,” a sign at the entrance proclaims. The exhibition also demonstrates “the long and inseparable history between Tibet and its fatherland,” because, as the exhibition suggests, it has been “Chinese territory” since ancient times.

Negotiation Nightmare!

Seems like China’s offer to talk is nothing more than a shallow offer to talk about the Tibetan issue for the purpose of PR and the Summer Olympics.

It’s the same old story coming from them, and it really is getting tiring. This needs to happen today, not after the Olympics, and Beijing needs to allow foreign security for the Olympics because frankly I wouldn’t trust them with their alleged claims that the Dalai Lama is doing all this.

I see the Chinese Communist Party creating all these problems, not the Dalai Lama or the Tibetan people, and I wouldn’t trust having a seat at the Summer Olympics for fear of my own life, unless the US had security to protect me. It’s a scary place, and I now know how the Tibetan people must feel or the Japanese for being poisoned with tainted gyoza.

NEGOTIATION NIGHTMARE – Jamyang Norbu [read full story]
From the little information we are getting it appears that the Chinese are conducting massive crackdowns and reprisals all over Tibet. First of all it is clear that the trial of the thirty protesters in Lhasa, although a travesty in terms of real justice, is also possibly a red herring. The basic idea of the trial seems to have been to create the impression that not many people have been arrested in Tibet.

In reality thousands of Tibetans have been arrested and will probably be tried in secret (or not have a trial at all) and be incarcerated or shot. Woeser in her last Tibet Update reports that “thousands of Tibetans have met with the fate of being killed, being arrested, being tortured to confess, being missing, committing suicide or having mental disorder, and this has brought disasters to countless Tibetan families.”

I have also heard of many hundreds, maybe even a thousand or so men in rural Amdo and Kham hiding out in the mountains, to avoid police and military crackdowns in their districts. There has been the report of a gunfight between Tibetans and Chinese security personnel. A couple of days ago I received an unconfirmed account of two women in a village in Amdo who were harassed beyond endurance by Chinese policemen about religious images in their home. The women stabbed three policemen to death and were themselves subsequently gunned down. In all likelihood it appears that the situation in Tibet will deteriorate further. The situation is deeply troubling especially since there is little or no information on what is actually happening.

No amount of begging, pleading or further negotiating with Beijing will bring any resolution, even a little improvement, to this crisis. I think that Dharamshala has one real option left to deal with this situation. It must act in a way that is bold, dynamic and totally unanticipated by Beijing. The exile government must declare that in light of the sentiments expressed by Tibetan people in the recent protests, and the harshness and implacability of the Chinese government’s response to the expression of their basic human rights, the Tibetan government is compelled to reconsider its Middle Path policy. That the Kashag and the Tibetan parliament will immediately commence joint hearings to review the Middle Path policy and that representatives of Tibetan organizations advocating independence will be invited to offer their testimonies at the proceedings.

To His Holiness I would respectfully suggest that he make a public announcement stating that though he had genuinely and unreservedly supported China’s bid to host the Olympic Games, the lives and welfare of the thousands of Tibetans – victims of China’s crackdown – were far more important than a sporting event (even one as major as the Olympics). That unless China agreed to allow international agencies as the Red Cross, the UN or Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, Reporters Without Borders, and other such organizations, to send their personnel freely throughout Tibet to verify the conditions of these people and check on their legal situation, he would be compelled to appeal to the world to boycott the Beijing Games. Furthermore he would call on all his subjects, his friends, supporters and disciples worldwide, to engage in non-violent but direct action to disrupt China’s massive ultra-nationalist propaganda exercise, for which the 2008 Olympic Games is being effectively employed.

Real negotiations might follow, for the first time.

Genocide Olympics Flame of Shame. Solidarity for Tibet and Darfur people. Shame on the Olympic committee for giving the worldwide Olympics honor to Beijing, while it has issues of genocide.

Tibet’s government in exile: Talks with China went off well

This is great!

I hope China’s communist party is sincere in reopening these talks, not just because the Olympics are a few months away.

Tibet’s government in exile: Talks with China went off well
Tibet’s government in exile said Monday that it was pleased with the “informal” talks between Chinese officials and envoys of the Dalai Lama and that Beijing had committed to continue the dialogue. “We did not attach high expectations to the talks, and according to our expectations, the dialogue went off well,” Samdhong Rinpoche, prime minister of the government in exile, said via telephone from the north Indian hilltown of Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and his government in exile are based.

Although the talks achieved no breakthrough, the discussions proceeded satisfactorily in a “good atmosphere” with both sides communicating their positions to each other, Rinpoche said.
