Olympic Hypocrisy In Olympic Country
The 2008 Olympics will soon be held in Communist China, not China as Big Business wants you to call it, rather the true name, Communist China and the biggest story heading into the Communist Chinese Olympics was provided to us despite the fact that the Chinese Government is doing all it can to censor the negative stories surrounding life in and around China. The biggest story garnering world attention today is the story of how a Chinese activist who has called for human rights issues to be addressed ahead of the Beijing Olympics was sentenced to five years in prison by Chinese authorities. Reportedly, Yang Chunlin had gathered over 10,000 signatures for an open letter titled ‘We want human rights, not the Olympics.’ However dissention is not allowed in China and in the run up to the 2008 Olympics it is really being suppressed so that puts Yang Chunlin on the S- List.
Yang Chunlin has been charged with subverting the power of the state, which is a charge authorities in China commonly use to quiet anyone of opposition within their power grip. This issue begs the question that with all of the going green initiatives so prevalent in Big Business today, where are the calls for fair human rights? Let me get this right, its not alright for me to throw paper in the garbage or use my gas powered lawn mower but its alright for China to arrest a man and put him in jail for 5 years just for collecting signatures? It’s not alright for me to drive an SUV but it’s alright for a Chinese manufacturer to poison villagers downriver of industrial sites? I can’t buy lead paint at Home Depot or Lowes but I can buy imported lead toys for my children to stick in their mouths? Talk about the Olympics, well this is the revelation of Olympic hypocrisy. Why are we trying so hard to spread democracy in the Middle East when we do nothing to address democracy concerns in China? Big Business wants these issues to just go away, being environmentally friendly allows corporate CEO’s to appear to have a social conscience but if they really had a soul they would use their influence to address the human rights issues and the lead poisoning issues and the slave labor issues of China. Don’t point a finger at me on being green when you are turning yellow with cowardice. Let’s work together to get the carbon emissions out of the air, yes this is a good thing, but lets also work together to get Yang Chunlin and thousands of others like him released from Chinese prisons where he is unfairly being held. Come on China, you are a great nation, step up and do the right thing in all areas.
Protester s are demonstrating during the Olympic torch lighting ceremony in Greece and they will continue to demonstrate throughout the Olympic path but they need your help, they need you to call attention to the human rights issues in China. They need you to put pressure on Big Business and Big Business concerns regarding human rights issues in China.
China is not the enemy to human rights watchers, their policies are. And why all the media blackouts in China both now and in the future, what gives? What is being hidden from scrutiny? Where is the transparency we ask to see in so many other countries and why isn’t more being asked of China? Will our next President ask for more from China? Will you?

Nancy Pelosi Succeed To Write Her Name Into Olympic History, With Her HUGE Hypocrisy
Author : Richard Branson
On March 14, 2008
Hundreds of people came out at Lhasa, Tibet. Suddenly, these people act brutally, throwing stones, set up fire on houses, stores, vehicles, and hitting people.
These coordinated brutal attackers are demanding a free Tibet from China. Only in a couple of hours, Tibet is on fire. Rescue forces and policemen are unable to control these rioters.
Less than 100 people or maybe more died before the security forces succeed to control the chaos. Among the victims are an 8 month-old-baby and 4 girls working as shopkeepers, who were burnt to death.
On March 21, 2008 ( 07 DAYS LATER )
Nancy Pelosi, a US House Speaker rush to meet the spiritual leader of Tibet, Dalai Lama, who was accused by China as the planner of the brutal attack. There, Pelosi gave Dalai Lama a moral support, and condemn China who used forces to control the situation.
Then to provoke the world peaceful community, in front of a crowd of thousands Tibetans including monks and schoolchildren, Nancy Pelosi said ¡°If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China¡¯s oppression in Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world¡±.
Most of media all over the world quickly quoted what she said, exactly the way she has planned. Many western media found that they have no other option than to bias the truth about the Tibet chaos, in order to make it suitable with Pelosi¡¯s statement. Some of them even cut part of the image to mislead public, some used the real picture with mislead information, some even use videos taken from Nepal to mislead the truth.
Several foreigners touring at Tibet when the chaos happened has turn out their voice about media bias, urging people to see the whole picture. But their voice has been turned down by many media, leaving only small room for them.

Four US soldiers died by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, making the death toll 4000 since Iraq war. Meanwhile, a British agency estimated that about one million civilians has been died since the war. Mr. Bush quickly show up and offer condolences to the troops family. Nancy Pelosi didn¡¯t even show up. She didn¡¯t even speak out about human rights in Iraq. She doesn¡¯t even send any condolences.
People across the world, including those freedom loving people in America, who expects her to take her huge part to stop Iraq war, are very disappointed. She doesn¡¯t even do something significant at the fifth anniversary of Iraq war at March 20, 2008.
Many people are shocked with her HUGE hypocrisy, when they compare what Pelosi rush to do in Tibet chaos and Iraq war. Facing 4000 deaths on her own side and about one millions civilian death in Iraq, the human-right-police should said something like ¡°If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against Iraq war, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world¡±
Nancy Pelosi has succeed to write her name in Olympic history, with her HUGE hypocrisy. Meanwhile, China will be recorded in the history who try to do the best to hold the Olympic Games. What makes difference is one get respect, the others don¡¯t.
The consequence of her statement had move many freedom loving people throughout the world to attack the Olympic. It started happening when Tibetan protesters disrupt Olympic Flame ceremony on March 25, at Olympia, Greece. Along the way, there will be many protesters who try to disrupt the Olympic, or hold a peaceful demonstration. But the world history will record that all of this peaceful attack can only be related to one person, Nancy Pelosi.
Do the Chinese media as the victim has the courage to publish this article ? Do the western un-censored media has the courage to publish this article ? We will see in the few days.
To conclude the whole article, I found the best quotation at a Hollywood film, starred by Bruce Willis, ¡°Tears of the Sun¡±. Here is the quotation ¡°The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing¡±.
