COLLECTIVE MADNESS
“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."
gee if the fake people of palestine are allowed a state why should the real historic people of tibet not get one?
ReplyDeleteevery vote of china to support the murderous fake national goals of palestine shall be visited back upon them ten fold....
it's time for china, as a modern unified state to be broken up...
revolution....
The Chinese are acting in character again--
ReplyDeletefrom pages of descriptions of the invasion of Tibet by the Chi-coms, in J. Campbell--
A monk, aged thirty-seven, who had escaped to Nepal from Thrashak, Nyarong village, testified that in March 1955 all the people and monks of his village were summoned to a meeting and asked where their leaders had got their wealth and whether those leaders treated them badly,
'The reply was that no one had been ill-treated and that there was no complaint agsinst the leaders.'
A farmer, aged fifty-two, from Ba-Jeuba, hearing a disturbance in his brother's house, looked through the window and, as he said, "saw his brother's wife's shouts being stilled by a towel. Two Chinese held her hands and another raped her, then the other two raped her in turn and left". In 1954 forty-eight babies of this village below the age of one year were taken to China,
'in order, the Chinese said, that their parents could do more work'
In 1953 this same informant was called to witness the crucifixion in his village of Patung Ahnga, of a man of a well to do family.
'A fire was lit underneath him and he saw his flesh burn. Altogether twenty-five people from the wealthy classes were crucified and he saw them all. When he left Tibet in January 1960 fighting was still going on at Trungy..'
I could quote for pages.
'At Doi, Amdo, in 1955, the monks "were taken to the fields, yoked together in pairs, pulling a plow, under the supervision of a Chinese who carried a whip.'

" 'Throughout the scenes of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, whether of heavenly or of infernal kind, the soul is advised by its attendant lama to recognize all the forms beheld as projections of it own consciousness; and when the hell scenes are to be met, the lama says, "Fear not, fear not, O Nobly Born!. The Furies of the Lord of Death will place around your neck a rope and drag you along; cut off your head, extract your heart, pull out your intestines, lick up your brains, drink your blood, eat your flesh , and gnaw yur bones; but in reality, your body is of the nature of voidness; you need not be afraid...Be not terrified, be not awed. If all existing phenomena shining forth as divine shapes and radiances are recognized to be emanations of one's own intellect, Buddahood will be obtained at that very instant of recognition....If one recognizes one's own thought-forms, by one important act and by one word, Buddhahood is obtained.'
And with this sobering, terrible vision of the whole thing come true, the materialization of mythology in life, I shall close--in silence; for no Western mind can comment on these two aspects of the one great Orient in terms appropriate to the Orient itself, which, as far as any words from its leading contemporary minds would seem to show, is rather proud and hopeful of both.
The old doctrine of Egypt of the Secret of the Two Partners, the Mahayana of Voidness, Mutual Arising and the Flower Wreath, the Taoist of the complementarity of yang and yin, the Chinese Communist of interpermeation, and the Tantric lore of the presence within each being of all the gods and demons of all the storied heavens and hells: these, it would seem, variously turned and phrased, represent the one timeless doctrine of eternal life-the nectar of the fruit of the tree in the garden that Western man, or at least a notable number of is company, failed to eat."
from 'Oriental Mythology' J. Campbell
LET THE OLYMPIC GAMES BEGIN! O WAL-MART SHOPPERS!
"And, given the choice, many seem to value their religion and culture over wealth."

Tibetan Protest Widens To Other Provinces
ReplyDeleteThere's going to be a bloodletting--is a bloodletting--but we'll hear little about it, I'd think. The real news might slowly seep out over time.
I've never met a more intransigent people than the Chinese politicos. I really do believe that only language they understand is that of firmness.
