  • webefools, on 03/29/2008, -27/+355Boycott China! Free Tibet!
  • Tonorific, on 03/29/2008, -6/+128I'd like to see a successful US consumer boycott of Chinese goods.
    I'm not sure that your average American is remotely aware of how reliant they are on Chinese manufacturing. Fortunately, the very same American could not find Tibet on a map and could care less about 'foreign politics'. Your average American shops at Wal-Mart, where most of the merchandise is manufactured in China. Even if he or she could successfully identify goods made in China, they would have no alternative. The US economy has shifted from production to service years ago.

    A successfull boycott of China would kind of look like people not spending at all. Which seems to be coming soon anyway.

    Watch Wal Mart, Best Buy, Home Depot, et al. start screaming (like, by manipulating the WTO) against this.
  • Jawoodyablowme, on 03/29/2008, -3/+53Yep. Against the 1.3 Billion Chinese all of whom can be drafted into the army. Yes sir! Brilliant!
    And unlike many other religions that proclaim to be of peace, the Dali Lama ordered his people to stop all violence or he would resign as head of state for Tibet (in exile). Those people walk the walk and talk the talk: unlike some other folks. They would rather be killed than surrender their values. That is courage beyond anything I've ever seen. Any ***** can react out of anger, but to control your anger takes an amount self discipline and courage that I don't see much anymore.

Especially with the olympics , and media coverage , finally a way for others to hear them speak. I hope tibet is free soon, and after that, why stop? ***** china, free them all

    Canada Free Press [Friday, March 21, 2008 10:20] Brit spies confirm Dalai Lama's report of staged violence

    By Gordon Thomas

    London, March 20 - Britain's GCHQ, the government communications agency that electronically monitors half the world from space, has confirmed the claim by the Dalai Lama that agents of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the PLA, posing as monks, triggered the riots that have left hundreds of Tibetans dead or injured.

    GCHQ analysts believe the decision was deliberately calculated by the Beijing leadership to provide an excuse to stamp out the simmering unrest in the region, which is already attracting unwelcome world attention in the run-up to the Olympic Games this summer.

    For weeks there has been growing resentment in Lhasa, Tibet's capital, against minor actions taken by the Chinese authorities.

    Increasingly, monks have led acts of civil disobedience, demanding the right to perform traditional incense burning rituals. With their demands go cries for the return of the Dalai Lama, the 14th to hold the high spiritual office.

    Committed to teaching the tenets of his moral authority---peace and compassion---the Dalai Lama was 14 when the PLA invaded Tibet in 1950 and he was forced to flee to India from where he has run a relentless campaign against the harshness of Chinese rule.

    But critics have objected to his attraction to film stars. Newspaper magnate Rupert Murdoch has called him: "A very political monk in Gucci shoes."

    Discovering that his supporters inside Tibet and China would become even more active in the months approaching the Olympic Games this summer, British intelligence officers in Beijing learned the ruling regime would seek an excuse to move and crush the present unrest.

    That fear was publicly expressed by the Dalai Lama. GCHQ's satellites, geo-positioned in space, were tasked to closely monitor the situation.

    The doughnut-shaped complex, near Cheltenham racecourse, is set in the pleasant Cotswolds in the west of England. Seven thousand employees include the best electronic experts and analysts in the world. Between them they speak more than 150 languages. At their disposal are 10,000 computers, many of which have been specially built for their work.

    The images they downloaded from the satellites provided confirmation the Chinese used agent provocateurs to start riots, which gave the PLA the excuse to move on Lhasa to kill and wound over the past week.

    What the Beijing regime had not expected was how the riots would spread, not only across Tibet, but also to Sichuan, Quighai and Gansu provinces, turning a large area of western China into a battle zone.

    Yesterday (March 27, 2008) His Holiness the Dalai Lama spoke directly about the troubles in Tibet, asking all supporters worldwide to help in any way they can, providing that this happens in a strictly non-violent way. He explained that this is a moment of crisis, and that it is all of us, rather than the Tibetans in exile, who have the potential to shift the situation.
    His Holiness specifically stated, not for the first time, that Tibetan dharma cannot survive without Tibetan freedom. He explained that only Tibetan Buddhism has been able to preserve the full Nalanda tradition and its message of universal compassion, its techniques to promote inner values and its teachings on interdependence, with their extraordinary potential to bring peace and harmony to the modern world.

    One of the only ways that we can influence the decisions of the Chinese government is to show that there is widespread and increasing public condemnation of their actions in Tibet. How can we do this? How can we link together all the feelings of individuals, who by themselves may feel powerless, but as a group could have an unforgettable impact?

    We have a simple suggestion. We all want to stand up for Tibet. Let's do it, literally. Every day, let's commit to simply standing up. just for a few moments, with either a printed or digital photo of the Tibetan flag in our hands. Individually or in a group. Quietly or noisily. In the most creative and spectacular way imaginable. On the street, in schools, on trains and buses, in the workplace, in bars and restaurants. Let's be visible, newsworthy, fun and contagious. We want to make our feelings public throughout the world, and we want millions of people to join in.

    March 31st has been designated an international day of action by the International Tibet Support Network. Will you stand up that day, wherever you happen to be? And then continue, as long as the situation lasts.

    We are not only standing up for one country that is experiencing oppression, but for every act of injustice and repression that has happened personally to us, or to other people in the world.

    This is something we can all do for Tibet. Who can you phone, text or email and encourage to join in? Can we make this happen across the globe, particularly during the next weeks, before it is too late? We need your help and are very grateful for anything you can do to make this happen.

    With a big prayer for peace in Tibet

  • daizy82683, on 03/29/2008, -0/+17no ***** China's government. Let's not forget about the billion plus people suppressed by this regime.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -3/+18THE ROBES OF DEAD MONKS!
    No seriously, what do you think they are doing with the robes, preparing to go somewhere like that? The Communist Costumed party?
  • rficwizard, on 03/29/2008, -0/+15Why would an alternative/rock/pop band from Boston go to Tibet and dress up as Chinese soldiers?
  • Jawoodyablowme, on 03/29/2008, -0/+15If the Tibetans took up arms, Emnsta, do you think they would be getting as much positive attention that they're getting now?
    China would just call them terrorists and we'd turn our back on them. Like the Chechnyans. And, by the way, how's the Chechnyan's armed fight against the Russians going?
    Read Sun Tzu sometime.
  • Jawoodyablowme, on 03/29/2008, -2/+17There are folks who smuggle cameras into Tibet and take these kinds of photos. Richard Gere finances some of them out of his own pocket. The Chinese want his ass BAD!
  • Mootabolife, on 03/29/2008, -0/+15Yes.. they'll die for it and have their story disappear. If they live for it they can spread it through their non-violent actions.
  • BossKey, on 03/29/2008, -1/+15It will be easy to boycott the Olympics, and very, very hard for you to shop without buying Chinese products.
  • Jawoodyablowme, on 03/29/2008, -0/+13Good luck! I tried. Everything is made in China these days. And some companies will have parts made in China and then assemble them here and they can say "Made in the USA". Food is the only exception.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2008, -1/+14Outside of Digg? Huh?
  • spyd3rweb, on 03/29/2008, -1/+14Canada did it in 2007 during the SPP meeting.
  • C0leBurns, on 03/29/2008, -3/+16Wait til the Beastie Boys hear about this, they are gonna be PISSED.
  • archimago42, on 03/29/2008, -4/+16You are not smart.
  • phyx726, on 03/29/2008, -4/+16yea monks dressed up as soldiers to dress up like monks. that sounds reasonable.
  • D3koy, on 03/29/2008, -6/+17Those Chinese, they always did have sneaky tactics
  • ReeferChiefer42, on 03/29/2008, -3/+14I've said it before and I'll say it again, ***** THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT! I feel truly sorry for the people of China as most are innocent of atrocities such as these and are simply caught up in the middle of all of it. We really need to stick it to China by boycotting the 2008 Summer Olympic Games to show that NO ONE will stand for this behavior and fascism!
  • cyberdork, on 03/29/2008, -0/+11Are there mom and pop handmade laptops or any other kind of electronics?
  • eigenweasel, on 03/29/2008, -1/+12Like the Beastie Boys said: "Putting shame in your (Olympic) game".

    The scoop is when they check out this ill communication it'll be resolution time and it's a sure shot there'll be some intergalactic scale triple trouble and something's got to give when the three MC's and one DJ unite, get their posse in effect and think its time to get ill and put their root down with the sabotage and the soba violence.
  • boshdmg, on 03/29/2008, -9/+20Wont happen, the political establishment are to scare of pissing off China with all its economic strength.
