LMB's Public Security Olympics

"President Lee Myung-bak applauds how the public security authorities have captured the gold in the form of bras worn by women they detained at street protests, allegedly to prevent suicide attempts but deemed by many to be hardly necessary for protesters." (Hankyoreh, 8.19)

Background articles:

Yesterday "His Holiness", the "Dalai Lama" - aka the "GodKing" - finished his 33rd visit (in the last 30 years!!) in Germany(*).

And everywhere, where he was asked about the "Tibetan Future" he said that he only wants "real autonomy" for his "HomeLand"..

Short before his visit in Germany he gave a interview to the German leading (bourgeois) magazine Der Spiegel(5.12), were he concretized what he really means: "The Dalai Lama has called for extensive autonomy for a Greater Tibet, which includes both the current Autonomous Region and large parts of the provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu and Yunnan, or close to a quarter of the landmass of the People's Republic" (**).

Yesterday Professor E. Sandschneider (German Council on Foreign Relations/DGAP, a conservative bourgeois, but "serious" think tank) said in a interview with the German Phoenix TV  that "Abviously the Dalai Lama is demanding religious and cultural autonomy for Tibet. But in fact, sooner or later they will demand the complete independence from China for 'Greater Tibet'."

Well, always the "Dalai Lama" is welcoming the (technically and economically) development in Tibet by China.. But what will be happen when the Dalai Lama has the opinion that's now enough with development (Made in China)..?

* In four cities he held lectures in front of about 20,000 people. Alone in the Bavarian city Bamberg he (or his office, the so-called "Tibetan Gov't in Exile") collected at least 250,000 Euro (300,000,000 won) as entrance fee...
The topic of the lectures: "Human Rights and Globalization". But finally content of the lectures was complete "empty", so every-one of the audience - green "alternatives", extreme right-wing "human-right" activists, parts of the ruling (bourgeois) class - were able to agree totally with "His Holiness's" explanations, according to a regional independent news service in Bavaria.

The "GodKing's" last station in Germany was a "Solidarity Rally" yesterday afternoon in Berlin in front of the Brandenburg Gate. The motto of the rally: "Freedom! Germany for Tibet. Tibet for the World".. And 20,000 friends of the Tibetan independence/fans of the "Dalai Lama"/part-time buddhists joined the event and celebrated his performance.. Of course also there his speech was so empty that every-one could agree with him: "Peace, peace and once again peace!!!"

** The population of this provinces: about 150,000,000 people (among the Han majority many other "national" minorities, such as Hui, Miao, Yi..)! But there are "only" 6 Million Tibetans in this area!!

Well, it's very interesting to see the difference between the peoples north and south of the Mt. Everest! While the peoples in the south (Nepal) are fighting to abolish the ancient feudal/current bourgeois system, some "representatives" of the people in the north (Tibet) are fighting to get back the old feudal system (i.e. the rule of the "GodKing", "His Holiness" the "14th Dalai Lama of Tibet")..
And in contradiction to the peoples in the south the "activists" in the north (or better said the groups who are claiming that they are representing the "interests of the Tibetan people") have the complete support by a worldwide movement, unifying the extreme right, "liberal democrats" with (some of) the "radical left".

And now on coming Sunday in the S.K. capital Seoul the activist groups from the extreme right to the "radical left" (among many others also the New "Progressive" Party!!) will get the great opportunity to create the new National Unity to support ethnic cleansing/racist pogroms, the demand for re-establishment of the theocracy/feudalism and slavery in Tibet. (*)

Just "enjoy" (^^) the anti-Chinese/pro-Tibet rally and demonstration in connection with the Olympic torch relay in Seoul:

Sunday (4.27), 4 pm
Tapgol Park (**)

* Very "popular" slogans on pro-Tibet demonstrations especially in Europe and the U.S.A.: "Tibet for the Tibetans!" "Chinese out!" Well, it sounds similar to "German for the Germans! Foreigners out!!" or "Russia for the Russians! Kick out the blacks!" (in Russia the migrant workers from central and east Asia are called as the "blacks")..
The majority of the victims - beaten or burned to death (according also to WESTERN MEDIA!!) during the "March Pogrom" in Lhasa were migrant workers (Han, Hui and some other Chinese nationalities).

BTW.. a few days ago the Dalai Lama ("His Holiness" the "GodKing") demanded from the U.S. administration (yeah, exactly the same administration which is approving/ordering torture against political "enemies"!!!!) more support for the "cause of the Free Tibet Movement".

 
About two weeks ago in the German/French TV channel Arte some "experts" were discussing about the point "when the NATO will be forced to intervene in the Tibet conflict".. (of course just the idea about it is complete stupid and far behind the reality!! but who cares..??)

WTF is that??

This picture was taken on yesterday's memorial rally for Heo Se-wook - "민족민주노동열사"(*) - who burned himself to express his opposition against the S.K.-US FTA.

* "민족민주노동열사... this is a series of nouns.

민족: nation

민주: democracy

노동: labor

열사: patriot who laid down his/her life for justice or democracy or his/her country

민족, 민주 and 노동 - these three nouns modify or define the last word, 열사, so consequently, it means that Heo Se-uk dongji, the taxi driver who burnt himself, laid down his life for his nation, democracy and liberation of labor. I think 민족 should be taken out from the phrase because part of his 민족 had been betraying him until his life reached the dead end." (explanation by "mark")
