Tonight I was watching the coverage of the tragedy in China on TV. While digging through the ruble of what used to be a school, A child was found still alive. Many parents rushed forward to see if it was their child. One man, who’s only child attends that school rushed towards the ambulance. 
Though he could not see inside the ambulance, he was sure it was his son. One of the rescue workers grabbed him and hugged him. The weeping man hugged the worker and they embraced for a very long time. The rescue worker was comforting the man. The man clung to the worker because he was obviously in need of human touch to ease his grief. This scene choked me up and brought tears to my eyes.
What would any of us do if we were in that position? I can not begin to imagine the enormity of such grief and despair. My heart and prayers go out to the people of China who are trying to cope with such an enormous tragedy

We have all heard the unfortunate stories about the major rice shortage in the Asian world. Rice suppliers in this country assure us there is no shortage of supply in the USA. But …
Is it possible that because the price of rice on the world market has increased 150% since January, that US growers are exporting our rice to take advantage of the higher price? Thus, creating a shortage in the US? Would US rice growers do that to it’s own people?

By now everyone is aware of the Nazi SS style tactics of the Texas Child Protective Services in the raid on the compound in Texas. To-date, the sixteen year old who allegedly called 911 to report she had been abused, has never been found. Indeed, there is no recording of the 911 call. It almost looks as though the Texas authorities set the whole thing up knowing full well there never was a call to 911.
According to one news report the Texas CPS said “Their children, they were told, were no longer theirs. “They told us the state is in charge of them now,” This smacks of fascism in it truest form. The state CPS representative also said that the children would need to go through re-education training. Where have you heard this before? In the communist dictatorship of China?
Can a disgruntled neighbor of yours call 911 and say that you are abusing your children? Followed next by a knock on your door by the police and Child Protective Services? They then take your children and declare “the state is in charge of them now”?
What is happening in this country? It certainly is not the America I grew up in.

Berlin 1936
The Berlin games in 1936 (awarded to Germany before Hitler came to power) “would have to take the first prize for the most controversial”, according to the Olympic Historians’ Society Vice President David Wallechinsky.
The Nazis drenched the games in propaganda. There were calls for boycotts - and actual boycotts by some Jewish athletes.
But the United States did attend after Avery Brundage, President of the American Olympic Committee, overcame calls for a US boycott.
The irony is that the Games are now also remembered for the performance of the black US athlete Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals under Hitler’s nose.
Incidentally, the Olympic torch relay idea was started by the Nazi organisers of the 36 Games as part of their self-glorification effort. It remains to be seen if, after this year’s protests, the relay survives.

The trek of the Olympic torch has been surrounded my unidentified Chinese men who seem to surround the torch and it’s carriers. This despite ample police protection of the torch and it’s bearer. Click on this link to see a BBC news report about the mysterious men in blue.

The 1936 Berlin Olympic Games had been handed to Berlin before the Nazis came to power but now it was the perfect opportunity for Hitler to demonstrate to the world, how efficient the Nazi Germany was. It was also the perfect opportunity for the Nazis to prove to the world the reality of the Master Race. The Berlin Olympic Games gave the Nazis an opportunity to show off to the world as 49 countries were competing bringing with them their assorted media. For Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, it was the perfect scenario.
During the 1936 summer Olympics, there were many different views on whether the games should be allowed or discontinued. The people who voiced their opinions on the debate included Americans Avery Brundage, Ernest Lee Jahncke, and Judge Jeremiah Mahoney. The United States considered boycotting the Olympic games, since participating in the festivity might be considered as support for the Nazi Germany regime and its Anti-Semitic policies. However, others argued that the Olympic Games should not be a reflection of political views but strictly a contest of the greatest athletes.
A wise man once said (I paraphrase) If we forget the events of the past we are doomed to repeat them. It looks like he was right.

A bill introduced in the US House of Representatives on 1 April that would ban President George Bush from attending the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, was “not the best way” to respond to the situation in Tibet, a White House spokesperson, Katherine Starr, said yesterday. “We share concerns on Tibet and other issues, but efforts to prohibit US attendance at this international sporting event are not the best way to address them,” she said, pointing out that the US athletes participating in the games would “represent the best of this country.”
I found this article on the BBC news web site. An extract of the article states: “A prominent activist who publicized human rights abuses across China has been convicted of subversion and jailed for three-and-a-half years.” Check it out at this link
Bush is promoting democracy for Cuba and North Korea etc etc. But never once has he mentioned China. Why?
I have been told that this site has been blocked by the Communist China. This site and it’s sister site www.arnie.net, have reported on China’s brutal dictatorial oppression for many years. The sister site has also been blocked by China’s Internet firewall.
For those of you who were not aware of it, Communist China has a system which filters and blocks all Internet traffic in and out of the country. The reason behind this is to control the flow of information in and out of the country.
When was the last time main stream media ever used the term “Communist China” or “Red China”? They always did until the 1980’s when big, multinational, corporations began to move manufacturing to China.
