Lies, nothing but lies

Gyaltsen Norbu is not the Panchen Lama. He is only a boy Beijing selected to
impersonate the true Panchen Lama, Gendun Choekyi Nyima, who was selected by the
Dalai Lama. Gendun Choekyi Nyima was kidnapped by Beijing in 1995, and has been
missing since. Gyaltsen Norbu has been trained and brainwashed to adhere to and
spout the Beijing line on Tibet, including praising Beijing¡¦s subjugation and
cultural genocide there, and vilifying the Dalai Lama.
This intrigue of kidnapping the real Panchen Lama and replacing him with a
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) clone or impersonator is part of Beijing¡¦s 50-year
plan to complete its genocide against Tibetan Buddhism, because the primary
function of any Panchen Lama is to select the next Dalai Lama, and then protect
and educate that child. In other words, a Communist Party Panchen Lama will
choose a Communist Party Dalai Lama. If that happens, Beijing¡¦s plan will be
complete, and Tibetan Buddhism will be gone forever, replaced with ¡§Chinese
Communist Buddhism,¡¨ an oxymoron at best for an officially atheist regime.
Gyaltsen Norbu is not the Panchen Lama. Taiwan is not ¡§Chinese Taipei¡¨ or
¡§Taiwan, Province of China¡¨ (as a message from CNN said on my computer when
using CNN.com the past few weeks). There is no such thing as ¡§one China.¡¨
Draconian restrictions on the press and Internet are not free speech.
Incarceration, torture, disappearance or worse of all those who criticize the
CCP (such as [former senior party official turned dissident] Bao Tong (Àj§Í) and
countless others), or suggest democracy (such as Lu Xiaobo (¼B¾åªi) and countless
others) or help petitioners with their claims against the government or its
officials (such as [human rights lawyer] Gao Zhisheng (°ª´¼ÑÔ) and countless
others), or tell the truth about events such as earthquakes, floods, fires,
explosions, toxic products, violence, ethnic cleansing, unrest or dissent (such
as Hu Jia (J¨Î) and countless others) do not constitute equal justice and
certainly not ¡§full human rights.¡¨
Kidnapping a small child who is a religion¡¦s second-highest ranking official and
replacing him in order to hijack the religion is not freedom of religion.
Forcing adherents to worship in CCP-run ¡§churches¡¨ is not freedom of religion.
Arresting those who worship in their homes is not freedom of religion. Branding
Falun Gong an ¡§evil cult¡¨ simply because it has many followers, and imprisoning,
torturing and executing its members, or worse, is not freedom of religion.
Structuring an election ¡X if a rubber-stamp selection can ever be considered an
election, such as in Hong Kong ¡X so that a majority of the votes are controlled
by the Communist Party at all times is not democracy ¡X it¡¦s not even really an
election. Having a small band of nine to 15 men or as few as two people in a
closed room with no dissent choose the next president of a country with 1.4
billion people is definitely not democracy.
Taiwan does not belong to China. Neither does Tibet. Rebiya Kadeer is not a
terrorist. The Dalai Lama is not an evil splittist. Falun Gong is not an evil
cult. China is not a democracy, does not offer anything even the slightest bit
like democracy and does not offer its people freedom of speech, freedom of
religion, freedom of association, equal protection under the law, due process,
justice or even the most basic human rights. No matter how many Chinese
Communist Party faithful or CCP toadies around the world repeat these lies in
official Beijing statements, on bulletin boards, in chat rooms, in comments on
Web sites, no matter when or where, they are still lies.
