    What’s the mess with Tibet?

    Seriously as this story has been around, I’ve never really read about it… can someone simplify the big mess that has people climbing the Eiffel tower, climbing the ropes of the San Francisco bridge, I know obviously it has something to do with the games about to come, and recently the US presidential candidates are pressuring Bush to ban something of something, when this story first beaked I treated this as some normal news, but now its really got my attention as people are going extreme over this… why? The theme apparently is “Free Tibet” I’ve tried to find sources of this news online but I only get the effect of this, the people going berserk, not the cause, and I want the cause and effect story… can someone simplify? :D

    * I never actually watched the first breechings of this story, just heard it on the headlines.

    Tibetians want to get out of the control of China and they timed their protest during the Olympic torch rally so that it will be more visible to the rest of the world.

    I'm positive this involves the whole world, not just America. By dairy's saying, it's about Tibet protesting at the same time of the sport events (Which is worldwide), this is covered on ALL western News, not just America, I don't live in America and I know of this...

    In 1911 Tibet proclaimed independence from China, and was left alone till 1950 when China annexed Tibet claiming it was still a part of the Peoples Republic of China. And to this day the Tibetan people demand to be free from Chinese control.

    Right now the Tibetans just want their voice to be heard internationally (and also embarrass the Chinese government :D) and what better opportunity to do this than the Olympics where the world media is focussed.

    And as for:

    Grasp your ears firmly and pull; you might just be able to remove your head from you ass. Don't you realize that there are enough people to hate in the world already without you putting in so much effort to give us another? Peace :D

    If you choose to hate me because I choose to not get involved in other's matters, I think it says more about you than it does me.

    The olympics are absolutely the wrong place for this type of behavior. The olympics are not political. If we were going to protest countries who have ethical violations there would hardly be any countries in the olympics. If you'll recall the olympics were hosted in nazi germany once. olympics are all about sport and nothing to do with politics.

    Typical arrogant, ignorant and dumb comment from an average American who didn't get a decent education. I say average because I'm in a good mood. Those who shouldn't voice their opinion, usually do. Unfortunately his kind is a majority and - thanks to a government who wants to keep them uneducated - a growing majority.

    If I would get a buck each time I stumbled on that kind of low intellectual garbage from overseas, I'd be nipping at a pinã colada on my yard.
    It used to be funnier. "Oh from Belgium? Hmm Belgium ... the capital of Brussels." Those were the days.

    Got some news from you: Your beloved America will cease to exist in 2 years from now and so will your beloved dollar.

    Just in: Ban ki-Moon will not be attending the Olympics opening ceremony.

    You haven't seen one, have you?
    They have ALWAYS been political. Even giving the games to China was a "political" decision.
    '36? '56? '72? '76? '80? '84?

    How do you know what my education was or was not? I'm sorry that you feel you have a right to censor people and that not everyone gets a voice. I don't follow your holier-than-thou beliefs. Why don't you just enslave me and make me work on your plantation, Master?

    Tell me more about your terrorist plans to destroy America, please. I'm interested in what a noob has to say. really.


    I didn't know advertising and marketing were political. Beyond sports the goal of the olympics is to sell.

    I know I know, sorry I gave a confusion, I was agreeing with you, guess I should have quoted Cyclon, but no harm anywhere, it's in hometown Europe also... everywhere, worldwide.

    I honestly absolutely agree, but where in history does this have to do with ONLY America, or even a notion or expression of that? Everything you said is logical and acceptable, but not the American comment, but since you’re an American its UNDERSTANDABLE, so people lets be nice. He personally isn’t intrigued so he thinks everyone (In America) isn’t, give him a break… it’s a fair concept.

    The American will cease to exists comment is over the mark, I have a lot of American friends and I’d hate for them to “cease to exist”, but self absorbent (assumingly) comments are teeth grinding when you only look from something from one perceptive, America isn’t really that much involved in what’s going on except people Americans cheering on the Tibetans and climbing the San Francisco bridge ropes, that’s all I see. I honestly think Americans ARE interested because this is global, and around the time of Olympics, Americans like sports…right? I think Cyclon they’re trying to say don’t speak for a whole nation. I’m not really intrigued, just curious. When you say that you make you and your nation look selfish. Most parts of the world are actually putting humanism before nations, so comments like that could be disturbing, and its becoming a racist deal nowadays, though not on papers, but through the lines.

    If you choose to be ignorant or even worse, defend the terrorists, nothing can be done to cure you from blindness, I'm afraid. They possess you already.
    But hey, even the MSM that you trust doesn't deny it. More precisely, a journalist who is concerned, not siding with them (unlike most) and perhaps waking up.

    http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=T74VA3xU0EA&feature=related

    browntwn, your style reminds me to O'Reilly, who is (obviously) on the payroll of the Zionists. He doesn't let his guests finish a line and comes up with stuff like "Elvis is still alive" or he screams as loud as he can "Nuts! You're nuts", so that his guest can not be heard. Old tactics, it's been used over and over again. Come with something unique.
    If I'm "on" something, is the link above ... false? Lou Doggs is a liar? The economists on CNBC who talk about the Amero are all ... liars? The Amero, the NAU is ... imaginary?

    I love being called a noob after more than a decade of research on the subject. :) I think I know more about your country than you will ever know and that is an understatement.

    I'll tell you more about the terrorist plans to destroy America. A certain minority "who has suffered tremendously in the past" is controlling your beloved country and has dirty plans for humanity.

    They create false flags to create a false, invisible enemy, a whole world is falsely terrorized so that they can attack other countries for their own profit and agenda. Today's situation could be called "World Fear" to later evolve into "Microchipped World Population". What we witness (if you can open your eyes) are the first steps towards the process of dehumanization.

    I have good reasons to believe that they will achieve it ('it' being world chaos, riots, looting, famine, pandemic diseases) via the economy. I would not be surprised we're already IN this process of economic meltdown. This year could be crucial.

    America will be brought down by the same ones who were given trust to control it. Next month should be interesting. From 11th May you're not only forced to have a Real ID card, you basically hand over all your liberties (the few that were left untouched) to a fascist government that has a proven record of lying monstrously. From that day, you will legally not possess yourself any longer. The satanic plan of a microchipped serfdom can begin. From then, they just need "an event" to make from that evil plan a law enforcement. Any resistance will result into an arrest, at the very least. It's fascinating to know that America has built a large number of new prisons the past few years...

    Orwell was right. The only difference is that the techniques described in his book are so outdated. What is coming is much more frightening. Once we're chipped, it's game over and time is running out! The chips will do more than put us on a map; they will also be able to influence and control our behavior!


    Nanotechnology is so well advanced now that it will change all levels of society in the next couple of years. Liquid RFID chip exists, you just don't hear too much about it. Getting it implanted - whether you like it or not - is not an issue anymore.

    One more month. Enjoy the last month of semi-freedom of your life.

    Don't let ignorance become denial, just because you don't know and it's too far from your "reality". Open your eyes and see what is coming at us.

    I was about to move to America this year! :eek: I commend this post, it’s so true. America IMHO is the country not used to materialism, anything outside the comfort zone is considered “weird”, they even call people “weird”, and “weird” should only be applied to scenarios and events, fellow species calling each other “weird”? I thought it was abnormal and paranormal, love is the last thing on their list, yet the most powerful tool, all nations, everywhere, but mostly in America, which is dominating my news. America as in majority, not you fellow Americans, as in everywhere there are blind people, IMHO America has the most. I could see straight through your Government… why you can’t (if you can too there’s no need respond). There bullshit here in EU, and CARB, but I can see through it, just like I could see in CHN, and US, nothing in specialty.

    Who is Lou Doggs?

    Who called you a noob?

    I laugh at people like you who think Jews run everything and live like a paranoid fool. This is a thread on Tibet and yet you start railing on about Jews and implanted chips.

    You have proven you don't have a clue about freedom or America. You know nothing about me and yet you want to claim you know more about a subject that I do. That just goes to prove that you willingly make baseless claims and worse yet, believe them. But that is to be expected from someone who thinks Jews run everything from Word banks to bill oriely's tv show.
