TUESDAY-LESSON IN CIVICS #36


FINE EXAMPLE OF THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE ‘BLACK’:


China has accused the Dalai Lama of being a terrorist

The “Butcher of Beijing” continues to insist that the continued violence in Tibet is a plot supported by a small minority. Rather than heeding international calls to hold dialogue with the Dalai Lama, China’s leaders continually accuse and portray Tibet’s exiled god-king as being in collusion with Muslim terrorists to destabilize the country before the Olympic Games, which China is hosting this year.


In the capital of Tibet, Lhasa, local TV issued a seventh list of those most wanted in connection with the riots on March 10, in the Chinese officials claim only twenty-two people were killed, however, the Dalai Lama’s government-in-exile in the Indian town of Dharamsala claims the death toll to be ninety-nine, made up of eighty in Lhasa and nineteen shot dead as the violence spilled over into neighboring provinces that have large Tibetan populations.


The Communist rulers of China are putting forth the claim that the Dalai Lama never abandoned violence after fleeing Tibet in 1959 after a failed revolt against Beijing. The Dalai Lama has said that the accusations made by China are baseless.


Having witnessed the atrocities in Tienimen Square on the nightly news, I believe the Dalai Lama. Much like the Mullahs of Islam, Beijing has a habit of twisting facts and out-and-out lying that I don’t think they capable of knowing the truth if it snuck up and bite them in the butt. And these are the people that Bill Clinton sold our military technological missile secrets to when he was president?


Well, I reported, now you decide.
