Transport strike strikes all Spain

Tomorrow I am going to saw all the trees in the city so the streets are unusable, then I am going to go house by house and put chewing gum into every lock, when finished with this I’ll go straight to someone else’s house and park my car in front of their garage door,… all that because I do not agree with oil prices. Oh! Sorry I can’t do that! I’ll go straight to jail! Wait… I don’t really get it, if some people is doing it in Spain and feel proud about, how come I can-t do it myself? Oh! Yes! It IS illegal! And it sadly shows an individualism dangerously close to I-just-care-about-me attitude. Not just them, the whole country is paying indirectly and many people directly, so as yourself why taxes that everyone pay should just benefit a really small percentage of the population?

It is great that someone uses their right to strike if they believe that a revindication is worth it. That is one think, but you canNOT screw a whole country that, by the way, is suffering as much as you for the same reason, just because you think your cause is morally superior to the reasons the rest of the country might have, or just because you have the means to do it (trucks).Dixit.

China: another truth

The two videos above clearly illustrate what Chinese people know and which information they are getting and what the Western media has been doing.

Some Western media think they have such high standards about information, that they make everyone else believe it is such. I am ashamed about being a westerner when I see what my western media does.

The world must understand Chinese will never understand a failure of their games. This shall never happen because it could cost everyone a new Cold War. Many people may think that the videos are not true, and I have done some research and everything is true: Chinese are not lying but Western countries apparently have the truth in their hands, so they do not even have to see if they are right or wrong, but they are wrong! They just think that to be against everyone who is not western is going to make them right. Well, then again I shall say they are not at all.

Chinese musketeers need no Dartagnan

These three men are not well known outside China but Chinese people know them so it is not the Chinese fault that the world are yet to meet them, it's because (as always) Foreign media just talks about what they want to talk about.

Wang Lequan (mastermind of Chinese policy towards the ethnic minorities)

He established an hierarchy that brought stability to Xinjiang, all that was necessary to improve the economy in that zone. Which is already getting better and giving its citizens an oportunity for a better life.

Quote: "No matter what nationality, no matter who it is, wreckers, separatists and terrorists will be smashed by us. There is no doubt about that." Isn't what all western countries are saying right now? Especially in Europe, France even intended to do DNA tests on immigrants, Spain trying with all means to criminalize political parties asking for greater autonomy ... and I could go on with a large list of countries.

Zhang Qingli (Tibet secretary)

Quote: called the Dalai Lama “a wolf in monk’s clothes, a devil with a human face”. The Dalai Lama has used as much money and weapons from the CIA as he could to fight the Chinese, and the whole world still treats him as the most peaceful thing on Earth, well he is not.

Quote: “those who do not love the motherland are not qualified to be human beings”. That may sound a little extreme but at the end of the day it is what almost all politicians around the world have in mind, and if when feeling their own sovereignty threatened, everything necessary will be done to fight against it. People think their own countries are not to blame but what is to be said is: Anyone who is without sin shall cast a stone at China.

Is believed that he was there to just destroy Tibetan culture, what no foreign media says is that he built schools, hospitals and services that Tibet would have never have had without China. Even the Dalai Lama says so.

Li Dezhu (the Party’s racial theoretician)

He is attacked for writing a book about destroying independent cultures and disintegrating religious minorities by promoting materialism. That's one lecture, my lecture is that if people have a better quality of life, people are going to care less about cultural and racial differences and live in harmony.

He is accused by foreign media of trying to dissolve Tibetan culture by refashioning Tibetans rather than trying to help their culture. Question: would any government on Earth not try to do the same when having a region that causes this sort of big trouble?


These are not statements. Some may agree and others may not but disagreement doesn't make something a lie. China is accused of the same actions that any country in the need of them would do or have already done to stabilize their own country, China is doing the best thing to be done! China should not be the target of a worldwide boycotts of the Olympic Games, let's make this an opportunity to help to improve this country and improve the friendship amongst everyone, not one to destroy it. The Olympic Games should never be used with political intentions and that is what Tibetans, specially de Dalai Lama, are doing. Chinese people would never ever understand a failure in their Games, and they would not because there is no fair reason for it.

About China

News about China ’s troubles within the country are increasing exponentially, not just due to the Olympics but it’s weight in the international community. Parallel to that grows, sinophobia around the western world meanwhile non-western serious and rich countries that are supporting China on their policies, Singapore for instance.

There are governments talking badly about China that are just afraid to lose some votes, and press groups with the doubtable target of informing the world, which gets huge attention from all the media even if all this organizations are quite sinister and not really reliable. Reporters Without Borders are now increasing their activism against China now that Tibet is a riot. However they reported recently Spain as a country where there is an important lack of free press since the government shut down a newspaper that extolled ETA terrorists. These people would rather see 100 Israelis dead than a Palestinian arrested without a proper police report.

Opinions about China should be deeply meditated, forming a proper impression about this country requires an accurate analysis which should include the whole world in it, not just China . This country needs improvement, but doesn't all countries need some? The whole Great China will be soon a more powerful country than USA or the European Comunity. They will reach the so-desired free market economy to be on the same level as Singapore and soon all their big cities will be as rich as Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Have to be added it is believed by many that the USA and Europe should move in the same direction or they will just become insignificant. The next century is not ours; time will make Asia right.

China does not mess with anyone outside their borders, they just want to develop their country with their own sweat and blood. Not like Europe that had to colonize half of the planet! The main problem is not China because the global/western monotheist inquisition is not going to tolerate that a non-occidentalized, heretic, different country makes good progress. And that is just aligning half of Asia, Africa and Latin America with China, because people not without reason is tired of the West. We shouldn’t project our western way of viewing entirely different societies against the whole world.

This country must to go towards becoming a technocracy or a unique party democracy such as Singapore. A region as big and populated as China is not going to work with a populist model of democracy like in all developed countries right now, we have confused so easily fulfilling hoi polloi demands for just giving them the show they need. Developed Asian countries have done what had to be done so far, no matter who agreed or disagreed with their actions, they just did the right things.

Often forgotten is that any citizen from a poor region of the world when asked about what he wants and desires, he is going to have this clear: First life itself, then quality of life which in many countries does not go hand-in-hand with liberties. However so far “Confusionist Capitalism” works really good and has no rival.

Osama Bin Laden go back to your cave... please.

Mr Laden is trying to warn Europe to be careful and act according to moral laws. Well Mr bin Laden, from here we tell you to do such a thing and stop acting as a barbarian. This guy is completely gone, he is a populist and just follow trends to get more supporters, any chance he have to be opportunistic he takes a shot and it seems to work for him! What is wrong with people!! We know what is wrong but even though this shouldn’t happen.

And for what does concerns the pope, please shut up, how can you ask for peace without praying for your soul? You should first ask forgiveness for all the acts your institution committed to Arabic countries and the non-Arabic ones too, then you shall have a word. Until then, close your big mouth, you are a hypocrite and a lier. You and your holy truth is not enough.

Dubya cracks me up!

Lewis Paul Bremer III, a.k.a. Jerry Bremer, former president envoy to Iraq during 14 months having absolute power in every affair in Iraq. Appointed by George W. Bush when Dick Cheney recommended him for the job.

Why was he the appropriate person for the job:

-No experience at all in a secretary or any big company.

-Didn’t speak Arabic.

-Knew nothing about Middle East .

-Loyal to the Republicans Party.

-Really elegant (daddy was CEO of Christian Dior Perfumes Corporation).

-Retired.

-Amazingly good cook, his specialty French cusine.

He apparently traveled around (not backpacking) wanting to understand the country, but understood nothing. And if that wasn’t enough the fact that Iraqis where fighting back the American occupation left him astonished, since he couldn’t comprehend why Americans where not received with big hugs and kisses.

His methods to stabilize the country were:

-Turning Iraq into an economy based on oil controlled by U.S. companies.

-Dissolving the army and firing every soldier: all the military joint the insurgency.

-Fired every public servant member of Baaz Party. Schools, government secretaries and public companies were suddenly empty.

All data here is true, as it always is in my blog.

Buddha woulda shoulda coulda

"Free Tibet". There neither was nor is such a thing. Tibet’s freedom would just mean another dictatorship, when in all those decades have you ever listened to this lazybones - a.k.a. the DL - mention a word about establishing a democracy there? When for God’s sake someone has mentioned as a free country a place where the head-of-state is the all-powerful chosen by Buddha/God?

People hate the Chinese so much - and they are good people! - that no matter what you may show about Tibetans, they wouldn’t find water in the sea! Let us be serious, Tibet for many periods across history and along thousands of years have belonged to China and Tibetans are not saints. Tibet alone when the Brits had is as a colony had slave commerce as a current activity!

China does what every country should do to give their citizens a good present and an even better future. Should be said Tibetan’s have not been caring much about themselfs. I am not trying to be on a side, but it is important to take all the data into consideration, and I have never heard anyone questioning Mr. Thubten Wang Chen, a.k.a. DL. He himself organized and supported fully the CIA financiering of the guerrilla force during the 50s; he is just now asking for peace when he has seen that force wasn’t working! Furthermore, never apologized for such things, and has worked hard over the years to keep the particulars of those plans hush-hush.

Spanish green party unblooming

There is a pretty relevant conclusion to be drawn from the elections in Spain this week. The Communist Party - which encompasses the Greens too - has been almost pushed out of the competition! Especially in Catalunya where they have been losing supporters since the formation of a the coalition with the socialists ... thank God.

Years ago they were doing a proper job pushing the government to be a little greener, which is a really good thing, but since they had the chance they just began enjoying all the benefits that being in the government gives you, and just banning every initiative or infrastructure that may help building a better country.

You can’t just say NO to everything, they have been acting just as snoby-trendy-exmarxists. Criticizing always everything but nothing to say (now and before) about the massacres in the old USSR, Romania, Cambodia or the lack of human rights in Cuba.

Go home, relax, take a deep breath and began feeling comfortable with people’s disenchantment because the very first time you can be in the government and you act as you did, showed people they should be more careful next time.
