The list, ping
Didn’t Obama refuse to meet with him when he was here? If so, was that according to China’s “wishes”?
...as China yanks the money chain around Barry’s neck...
*1.2 million Tibetans died as a direct result of Chinese atrocities.
*Over 6000 monasteries and institutes of learning have been destroyed.
*Precious Tibetan artifacts were vandalized and sold in Hong Kong markets.
*Over 6000 Tibetan religious and historical literature have been destroyed.
*Tibetans in Tibet are second class citizen without basic Human Rights, such as Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Religion, Right to Education, etc.
*Tibetan women are subjected to forced abortion and sterilization.
*Tibetan Children are denied their right to education.
*70% of Tibetans living in Tibet now are illiterate.
*Arbitrary arrests, torture, intimidation and imprisonment without trial are the order of the day for Tibetans in their country.
*Tibet has been divided into different parts and incorporated with Chinese provinces, thereby removing the existing Tibetan identity.
*Thousands of Tibetans are still in prisons in China. Tibet’s natural resources and fragile ecology are irreversibly destroyed.
*6 Million Tibetans have been outnumbered by 7.5 Million Chinese inducted into Tibet causing demographic disadvantage to Tibetans in their own country.
If our state department had any sense, they’d be working - as far as could reasonably be done without starting a war - to break China into tiny little pieces. It’s just waiting for this to be done, the monolithic image China projects to the world is a laughable facade.
I think Obamas references to Lincoln (his travel to DS by his route, etc.) mean more than people realize. It’s not just “Lincoln freed the slaves, and now a black man is president”.
Consider this: Lincoln held together the union. That is, he would not allow states to secede.
So if and when Obama is faced with threats of secession (let’s face it, anything is possible nowadays) he will once again cite Lincoln as his guiding factor.
And the propaganda seeds will already be in place.
I'd be willing to bet that he is...
Knowing how clever Obama believes himself to be, he'll probably appropriate the flawed analogy (though without actually grasping the self-evident flaws) but repurpose it - instead of using it in the context of Tibet (which is pretty far off of his Muslim-faith-inspired, er, I mean, "Christian-faith-inspired" radar), watch for him to use the Lincoln reference when he justifies throwing Israel under the bus...
When our traditional enemies speak publicly to the ‘bama, I always think of the scene in Monty Python’s ‘Search for the Holy Grail’, where the Frenchman in the castle is talking to King Arthur and all of his buddies, hidden from Arthur’s view, are giggling hysterically. In Beijing, Tehran, Moscow and Havana, the leaders must be shaking their heads and not believing their good fortune on the election of the rube in the White House who is so clueless that dialog with him becomes a running joke.
Barry is being schooled before the event.
