What U Can Do!

Hi Kids,
So as some of you know I was going to support the Tibetans when the Olympic torch came to San Francisco… and I did…

and I was surprised at the number of pro China supporters. All my youtube coverage received only negative comments… by people that joined 2 days ago (very suspicious). Anyway my point is that the Chinese government has a HUGE sphere of influence… with its CCTV en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chin...Television
And its hordes brain washed nationals…
The Chinese have free thinking people out numbered… they can make a mob of people show up any place and can flood youtube with propaganda… We need to speak up on the internet and bring this battle of information to them… If you have the time please surf youtube and post positive comments on pro tibet videos… tell your friends! This is not a game… this is about a fascist state with lots of resources using all kinds of shifty tactics to win the war of hearts and souls.

    a local news reported today that CCTV broadcasted "their version" of the torch relay in San Francisco. their version showed nothing but pro-Chinese in festive mood and all smiles, and did not include a single frame of the protesters.

    in China, you can watch CCTV in Chinese on one channel and in English on another. i found it interesting that the Chinese version reports all the criminals busted and how great the country is doing in all conceivable areas - politics, helping people, international affairs, business, cultural events, and condemnations of anything anti-China, while the English version looks like a hard-sell of tourism in China and advantages for foreign businesses to do business in China.

    as long as you are in China, it's like being in heaven.

      Thanks for the update on CCTV
      I have been taking a lot of punches on youtube and flicker… mostly because I am sticking my neck out and engaging with the pro China Olympics crowd. You can not debate with them about Tibet because they are so brain washed… but I think if I made a video where I show Americans talking freely about the issues in the U.S. then let the conversation turn towards China I might be able to show them what a true free society looks like… (Maybe someone else can make this video and send me the link)

      But really I am trying not to focus on the issue too much… it has consumed me and I need to focus on my spiritual practice and reenergize… then return to the information battle field.

        in case you are not yet aware...

        those who are throwing punches at you on youtube and flickr are likely to be located outside China. from inside China, anything that's negative and critical towards Chinese anything are blocked - remember? :-) therefore those who are inside wouldn't be able to get to your contents.

          Thanks for the heads up on the propaganda machine. It is unbelievable how the most peaceful people can be subjected to the violence of this fascism.

          This is a Call to Arms - good idea about the video too. Anything that will help. Good on Gordon Brown and Sarkozy.

          Don't look for Bush to help...we're to indebted to China due to our narcistic pursuit of Wal-Mart pricing.

          We all need to Stop buying Chinese crap and drive way less.
