Which is it? Spontaneous or planned? <<<<

In my opinion, the riots are planned.

Chen makes it clear that many of the toys imported from China are made inside the Lao Gai prison camps by forced labor. Working 18 hours a day, or even non-stop for up to 40 hours at a time, punishes slaves held because of religious or political beliefs that conflict with Beijing. <<<<<

Praise Uncle Sam and pass the 18p an hour

>>>>'Harry' Wu is famous in the States. He escaped from China after 19 years in a prison camp for holding 'counter-revolutionary' views, then conned his way back into the prisons to document the misery of forced labour. In 1995, Wu was jailed once more, but not before he had reported the appalling tale of slave labour.

Naturally, Wal-Mart has contracts with suppliers that say none of its merchandise should be made by slaves, prisoners or little children. But among its suppliers is Shantou Garment Trading Company, based in Guandong Province. The Trading Company uses factories in Shantou town: nothing wrong with that. But some of the Trading Company's manufacturing is also carried out in nearby Jia Yang prison. <<


Back in 2001, the Star Ledger did about 3 page coverage on the GuanDong Provice. I wasn't tracking stories then. But the conditions people are forced to live in is heart breaking. I wish I saved that paper. The reporter somehow had pictures of these skinny starved people and parentless children.

FBI Investigates Cell Phone Purchase ($60,000 worth of prepaid cell phones)
NBC.com - Dallas/Fort Worth ^ | October 31, 2005 | NBC5

Posted on 11/04/2005 2:58:25 PM PST by LurkedLongEnough

DALLAS -- A Target store employee alerted Dallas police to a recent extraordinary cellular telephone equipment purchase. A man bought $60,000 worth of hard-to-trace prepaid cell phones.

The size of the purchase raised suspicions among police investigators, who turned over the case to the FBI.

"Those notifications are taken seriously," former FBI agent Danny Defenbaugh said. "Anytime a business or private citizen sees that type of activity, they need to go the extra step and notify law enforcement."

The large purchase caused investigators to look toward possible homeland security threats. On two occasions during October, a man of Middle Eastern descent bought $30,000 worth of prepaid cell phones. Security experts told NBC 5 that the FBI would work to identify the man and determine why he would buy the hard-to-trace phones.

Officials with the FBI and Target declined to comment on the case other than to say they were pleased that the clerk reported the purchase.

This was clipped from the article, it is an opinion, on why the terrorists are being arrested in Canada.

Not so fast. As of January 2005,
Fateh Kamel is now walking the
streets of Montreal, Canada, as
a free man, having been
released after barely four years
of imprisonment in France . . .
for "good behavior."

In the interim since 9/11, new
suspect terror cliques have been
marketed with documented links
to Canada. We even know the
names of some of the key
members of these networked
cliques with ties to, or
documented activities in,
Canada—Abderrouf Jdey, Adnan
el-Shukrijumah, the el-Maati
brothers, and the Khadrs,
Canada's reputed "First Family
of Terror."

"The Real Global Virus
The plague of Islamism keeps on spreading."
by Victor Davis Hanson
National Review Online

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Either the jihadists really are crazy or they apparently think that they have a shot at destabilizing, or at least winning concessions from, the United States, Europe, India, and Russia all at once.

Apart from the continual attacks on civilians by terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the West Bank, there have now been recent horrific assaults in New Dehli (blowing up civilians in a busy shopping season on the eve of a Hindu festival), Russia (attacking police and security facilities), London (suicide murdering of civilians on the subway), and Indonesia (more bombing, and the beheading of Christian schoolgirls). The loci of recent atrocities could be widely expanded (e.g., Malaysia, North Africa, Turkey, Spain) — and, of course, do not forget the several terrorist plots that have been broken up in Europe and the United States.

The commonalities? There are at least three."
