Richard Gere Speaks:8 Apr, San Francisco

[TheBrolit]

@tibinto Just because people have convictions that differ from yours doesn't mean they are ignorant.

[53VITORIA]

y love RICHARD GERE!!!!!!

[risingsun08107]

richard gere is so annoying

[magnietuit]

how do you know you are right??

Tiananmen is definitely wrong, while if the Chinese students knew what you guys are trying to do with Tibet, they would stand up from their graves!

the robs never told you, that Tibet is a province of yuan dynasty since 1240, they only told you yuan dynasty is a fucking foreign country, not china!

if you have to twist the history in order to proof the "justice", then is your justice a whore, which can be fucked by anybody in any way!

[magnietuit]

you burn, you kill, you hate, you are in a hurry

the harder you hate, the longer china keeps the door closed.

very simple

[magnietuit]

ccp is not the problem

the problem is you guys are not on power

and you are like homeless dogs in india

DLLM is getting old

when he alives, you guys could get some attention

if he dies, on one would give a shit because without dllm, you guys are nobody

your desperation drives you into crazy and hash

[magnietuit]

you hate china and chinese so much, for what reason must they welcome enemies back?

[magnietuit]

he is blind for what dalai lama and his people had done, and what they are still doing now!

[magnietuit]

no, he supports the morons in Dharamshala who persecuted tibetans without mercy before, and who are still persecuting their own brothers without mercy NOW!!

Shame on him!

Shame on you!

[magnietuit]

ccp never should feel shame for giving land and diginity to the slaves.

ccp should never feel shame for building the hospitals and schools etc. for the tibetans.

you guys should have felt shame, for treating your own people like animals and yet still proud of it, and name it as culture and tradition.

[ferldferm01]

Don't say that to Mr. Gere!

He's just speaking for the truth! He's a man of courage and a good example of being a good samarithan.

Go for freedom! May God bless you in evrything that you will do Mr. Gere!

Keep up your good works!

[magnietuit]

i wish he could use his courage to speak for the dordjee shugdens!

[magnietuit]

If people dare to look into the history, i don't need to copy and paste.

[magnietuit]

almost 7 centuries being part of china, begged many times the help of chinese emperors, so that their antagoists were wiped off and they were made the gods (DLLM and Panchen) of tibet, while only 36 years of high autonomy in only one part of tibet (east kham was not territory of DLLM), and you call this never ever was a part of china?

shame on you!

shame on all ignorant stupid hollywood stars!

[bhshootingstar]

For richard gere,he is HH Dalai Lama.

Fro over 2 million former Tibetan slaves, he is the largest salve master all over the world and he is the memory of the brutal Tibetan slave system.

For 1.4 billion Chinese people,he is a traitor.

Tibet,HALF THE SIZE OF EUROPE ,was poor, and ruled by a backward Theocracy. No wonder why Chinese took advantage of the chance to forcefully take over.All the natural resources to freely make their own & expand. If Chinese Colonialism is justified then British take over of India, and Japanese take over of Korea and China when they were weak, could be justified. Human freedom to govern their own lives always come first no matter what!China could have truly helped Tibetan people WITHOUT INVADING!

[bharatamata]

china in Tibet is an occupying imperialist.

chinese jingoists are trying to fool around and pretend as if Tibetans are chinese which they are not.

It is crass and crooked chinese imperialism at work and needs to be frontally faced and defeated.

[maomikimirai]

To Chinese friends:

You say "Western media is biased".

But your government in Beijin has not allowed journalists from other countries to take photos/videos, to interview people, etc., in Lhasa without any restriction since March 16. Chinese officers told (in a high-handed tone) Japanese tourists leaving Lhasa not to say anything about what they saw on March 16.

And - remember that your government shut down the line between mainland China and YouTube the other day.

Think why.

[nemea5]

Chinese learned nothing from their enslavement under Japan's brutal rule...

Japanese whitewashing of history to this very day and portraying themselves as the victims of WWII, and Chinese Attitude toward Tibet is the Same. No Morality... Just Selfish nationalism. Why hold olympic then? and Japanese ...please look in the mirror before criticising China.

[google2com]

ok, richard gere is fucked up. no wonder he haven't and never will win an oscar.

[hectorbolshevik]

Richard Gere speaks of "the truth". The only truths here are that the "Free Tibet" movement is made up of rich and spoiled hippie kids. And that the Dalai Lama and the "Free Tibet" slogan is a CIA agent and war cry had become part of mainstream pop culture. I wonder how many of these yuppies would take up arms against the Chinese PLA if another Lama uprising took place like in 1959?

[stallone123]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

[cradle2light]

if you HYPROCRITES were to be so Compassionate and Active about the lies of 911 and the invasion of IRAQ Fraud then world is a much place now!!!

also see the museum on Tibet past and you see the evil behind his "holiness"

Buddhism can be Real if it Foster

Caste Slavery and somekind of "human scarifice" Think on this....

[iwantdealhigh]

Dalai Lama was the biggest slave owner in his time in Tibet. Just hate the slave owners who traded, abused, tortured, even murdered his slaves like an animal. I'm wondering why nobody questions the Dalai Lama's attitude towards "slavery" and how he will do for Tibet after its independence. Does Richard Gere also support slavery?? I bet..

[kevindatz]

Richard Gere=gay face

[Globalvisual]

What a looser. What have You, Richard Gere learned from Buddhism? You better learn from the correct source, from Buddha and Mao Tse Tung. No wonder your career at Hollywood is on the downhill. Why not marry a Tibetan? certainly you are not fit for Indians.

[ASILAMSARA]

Richard Gere is truely believe in buddha.

The west need Dalai Lama not Jesus.. Jesus Is a fake in Bible and a lies for thousand years. So let All the people of USA believe in Buddha... Christian can't chance the world but Buddist. Please believe in Buddha. Bible is a lies.

[fenxian1]

Unfortunately, he didn't "attract" enough supporters that day. 3 hrs CNN live he was no where to be found. Now he seems attempt to mess next relay at Malaysia. Shame on him!

[ontheway0609]

让人遗憾的短视！

Do you really know the truth???

好笑~！

[truthabouttibet]

If that's the case, then Richard certainly is on the wrong side of human rights. He should be the first to point out what Dalai Lama did to fellow human beings and how CIA paid Dalai 300,000 and trained 2,000 of his followers to be terrorists to a legitimate government!

[truthabouttibet]

Richard is an idiot and fooled many people. I don't care if Tibet wants to be independent or not, but he should know what kind of person Dalai Lama was, and the truth about Dalai Lama before he jumped into conclusion.

Would you give Nobel peace price to a slave owner?

Do you know Dalai Lama used to drink from a cup made of human skull?

Do you know Dalai Lama had ritual by skinning human beings, adult and child alike?

Do you know the monks use human bones to make music instruments?

[sanvean7]

Richard, chinese leaders will never wake up... they will wake up the same way Hitler woke up to recognise what he did to the Jews... they want to do what they do... they want to be cruel. They are cruel to their own people... much less...

[kevindatz]

wake yourself up please

[truthabouttibet]

If you only listen to Richard and don't look at the fact, then you are brainwashed! Do you know CIA paid Dalai Lama and trained 2,000 of his followers in Colorado, hoping they'd take back power, so he could continuing his cruel treatment f his own people, the slave he had? Hoping he could still drink from cup made of human skull, play music made of human bones, and skin children for his religious ritual>

[sanvean7]

cis paid Dalai Lama?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA­HAH

Gosh, you bloody chinese are soooo brain-washed! you really stink in your lies.

do you chinese continue to torture little children, forcing them to do gymnastics?? And what about the girl that owns the voice of the song of the olympics opening? She was substituted by another girl because some stupid politician thought that she was too ugly? Only in a depraved country like yours can someone do something like that

[sanvean7]

Chinese culture can be compared to a cancer, worse than the Russian one. They torture children in sports practices, ina completely animalistic way... they sell counterfact... they sell cheap damaged things. And people are stupid enough to buy chinese stuff... only to find out that they bought junk. But the chinese people are good people, and are fed up their stupid government.

[truthabouttibet]

Are you one of the idiots that just listen to an actor and not use your brain? Judge after you know the fact! How would you feel if China paid Ed Egan $300,000 and trained 2,000 of his priests so he could perform terrorist acts again America?

[sanvean7]

Tibet belongs to China??? You bloody fascist. Yes. The only difference between fascism and comunism, is that the first like to wear black and red... and the later Red and Black... Chinese are murderers.

[truthabouttibet]

If you don't know the truth, then you are ignorant. If you know the truth and still believe what Richard said, then you are a fool!

[lavidalocaliving]

Oh really? Sounds like you know people around the world. Mind you, 1/4 of the people around the world are of Chinese descent.

[stallone123]

Terrorist!

[mikecat91]

The history of China by the Chinese Communist Party is full of falsehood. Tibet was a complete independent country till there was invaded by China.

The IOC should not have given China an opportunity to hold the Olympics Games.

[bharatamata]

Buddy.

Noone can beat china in deceit, lies, hypocrisy and terror.

[stallone123]

Except Bush and the network news.

[tattoo34rome]

would this man support a theocracy based on ignorance, prejudice and castes (just what tibet was like before the chinese) in the u.s.a.? i think not. so, he may be a hollywood star but culture, knowledge, history aren't clearly concepts he's familiar with. he should take care of darfur instead, not religious fads and superstitions!

[bharatamata]

chinese dont seem to have concern for any of these - Tibetan culture, knowledge and history.

Chinese need to vacate from Tibet and stop their illegal imperialist occupation of Tibet.

[qimaster]

$50 Million dollar to restore monasteries not a concern for history and culture?

[baddalai]

bharatanata,

fuck you, tibet was and will be part of china for ever.

fuck richard gere, fuck dalai lama

[yangziriver]

Tibet was,is and alway be the part of China.

Tibet people now live a better life than ever before. Now they live much much much better than the age when Dalai Lama ruled the tibet!!!!

[bharatamata]

Tibet was never china. Tibetan script, race, culture very different from chinese.

Chinese military invaded and occupied Tibet.

Tibetan can rule themselves much better if chinese wind up from Tibet.

[wangmeng3310]

i hate this man now!!

[bharatamata]

chinese hate heros.

Did they not mow down the chinese hero that stopped Tiananmen tanks?

[qimaster]

example of western bias... the real hero was the tank driver that didn't mow him down.. you idiot

[Runhuan]

Richard Gere, u got damn know nothing about China and Xizang. Listen to your own speech, there is no historical, political, ideological stuffs to support your fucking point. Just some crap bullshit and some fucking ridiculous illusion and descriptive secne from your damaged old brain. I tell u what, u said u will be in China when Xizang is seperated from China. U mother fucker scores your own goal. U will never be able to in your fucking life and in your subsequent life for forever.

[Runhuan]

jUST watch his fucking performance as a clown, fucking idiot. This motherfucker disgrace his reputation built up by his film career. Honestly, what I want to do is exactly break his fucking jaw with my fix disable his speaking. Anyway, the things is, I just find out, the more boycott to China, the China youth love their country more, I am a typical example. I was lead by west media, but now I know what god damn things did they do, for gods seek. China is UNBEATABLE!

[qimaster]

i hope richard gere can wake up one morning gets on a plane to china and talk to the real chinese and the tibetan peasants(not just the monks and aristocrats that controlled everything) and realize that things are much better in tibet with running-water, hospitals, schools, roads, railroads, electricity, etc then it was under the old theocracy when the serfs use their bare hands to builds the Potala palace so the dalai lama can order his 300 servants around.

[bharatamata]

u r saying this bcoz u know china has banned the entry of Richard to China.

I visited China and Tibet. I know Tibetans genuinely dislike chinese occupation and have His Holyness Dalai Lama close to their hearts than anything that China can do.

Tibetan would like to see the back of chinese. They can build roads, hospitals, electricity etc. themselves.

OK. Dont justify chinese imperialism in Tibet. (Japanese said pretty much the same thing at Manchuko, what u r saying now)

[qimaster]

i'm sure some tibetans are brainwashed to believe in a living deity with a mongolian name however not even all tibetans are gelug buddhists. there are 3 other sects of tibetan buddhism that have ironically gotten more religious freedom under the communists then under the dalai lama.

and if imperialism means getting into elite university with half the test score, having special loans to start businesses, preferential social policies, please, somebody colonize me.

[bharatamata]

u are talking like this bcoz, u know noone is going to colonise you.

I dont how if u understand how condescending and racist you r.

Tibetan have enough ability to develop their country. They dont want outsiders.

The same lies peddled a century ago by brits "white man's burden to civilise the natives" has been finetuned by chinese "we are bringing railroads, money and school for brainwashed natives that beleieve in living deity" all the time occupying the native thru armed power.

[qimaster]

you want to divide a country based on race and i'm a racist? i believe in given tibetans equal status, which i believe they already have, in fact they are getting preferential treatment. Just look at Legqoc or Qiangba Puncog and ask tibetan business people or students, or did richard gere forget to tell you who these two are?

and btw i do think chinese has benefited greatly from foreign investments just like tibet has gotten investments from the rest of china.

[bharatamata]

The difference is self rule is anyday better than foreign rule.

At manchukuo, Japanese investments were far more. That still did not mean, chinese preferred Japanese ruling them.

You are a racist if you believe Tibetans deserve to be ruled by chinese who Tibetans rightly see as foreigners in Tibet.

[qimaster]

It's funny how all the Free Tibetan people can romanticize the Tibetan life under dalay lama by words of Gere rather than worldwide Tibetan Scholars. Here's some books i recommend everybody read.

"Struggle for a Modern Tibet" by Tsering

"History of a Modern Tibet" by Goldstein

i don't know what fiction richard gere is reading but i'd certainly like to know.

BTW, i was at the SF torch relay and the protesters are attacking the chinese which can only be counterproductive to their cause

[Zeitgeist74]

Ugh! Gere sickens me. Not so much for his stance in this issue, but rather because he's so full of himself. :{

[michaelbbs]

Bravo Chinese Olympic,Viva Pro-Chinas.

[bharatamata]

china's mask has been torn. And the true face is very very ugly and nasty.

[michaelbbs]

Richard Gere, what you called Vortex have resulted serious violence and death to innocent people in Tibet, China. Shame on you, and you even hope this brutal violence to restrike. Shame on you, and you even call yourself buddhism believer and pray for compassion. you fucking bandwagon jumper.

[nanopug]

Dear Mr.Gere, please read articles by Michael Parenti, a Yale PHD, to understand more about Tibet.

[bharatamata]

The truth is this:

(1) Tibetan are not Chinese

(2) Chinese have no business to be in Tibet

(3) China is in Tibet as an imperialist violent enterprise.

Ask Michael Parenti to read this.

[nanopug]

(4) Tibet was controlled under a theocratic despotism regime that enslave its own people.

(5) Tibet was not a happy fairy land as Hollywood have portrayed.

Points made by Michael Parenti

[bharatamata]

(4) Chinese communist jingoist imperialists occupied Tibet in the biggest land grab of 20th century and killed over 1.2 million Tibetans, destroyed 1000s of monastries and drove out quarter million Tibetans as refugees who were lucky to escape chinese despotism.

(5) Even to this day, chinese people oppression army shoot at Tibetan trying to escape to a life of freedom.

(6) Chinese has integrated erstwhile Tibetan provinces of Kham and Amdo to China.

The whole world knows these facts.

[forourown]

it's said that lalai dala died of gere's crazy fuck...but we all kow that gere's dick has been soft since his birth...so... guilty dudle!

[ariverhorse]

Richard Gere knows nothing about Tibet, stupid asshole

[coldeyeshk]

It's mind-bothering that this Richard Gere didn't mention a word about the misappropriateness of using violence. According to his logic, it would be natural and "spontaneous" to express anger through violence. How horrifying? No wonder young kids in the US would go shooting classmates and teachers when they are frustrated. So, Mr. Gere, is that "spontaneous" and therefore acceptable? Are you rationalizing violence

as a legitimate means to give vent to your frustrations? A terrorist at heart.

[bharatamata]

Violence has been initiated by Chinese. It is chinese that occupied Tibet. Not vice versa.

So if you are non violent, ask china to get out of Tibet.

[coldeyeshk]

Han-Chinese are in Tibet to help out our Tibetan brothers & sisters who had once been enslaved by a theocracy led by your Buddha-God. You know, China is a country "conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal". Mao expelled the Dalai Lama because he practised what he preached. Nothing would have happened if your theocracy did not brutally violated basic human rights with your 3 class social system.

Thank God there are no more serfs now in Tibet.

[bharatamata]

know, EAPZ (Imperial Japan) is a country "conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal". Japanese expelled the Chinese war lords because they practised what they preached.

Thank God there are no more serfs now in China thanks to Japanese Imperial Forces.

you don't know what to do?OH,let me tell you:LICK the Dalai Lama's asshole since you like him so much.

[coldeyeshk]

Couldn't believe how phony the guy Richard Gere is. The Dalai Lama should open a dialogue, yes, but not with China but with India. After being in Dharmsala for so long, by any standards, he is a naturalized Indian.

He should negotiate for a settlement with India to let him run a Self-Administered Region in India. After so many years away, his theoracy may not fit in the modern Tibet, you know? This would be a better solution. Set up a Tibetan Settlement or Tibetan Reservaion in India. OK?

[yoghin]

free tibet

[maomikimirai]

fafayu,

Pearl Harbour?

Lol, that has nothing to do with what is (has been) going on in Tibet and East Turkistan (Uyghul).

History of China (PRC) after 1945 is a history of invasion.

[maomikimirai]

fafayu,

Yes, we Japanese admit we killed Chinese people during WW2. Yes, Japan was at WAR with China at that time.

But you must study the cause of the war.

You Chinese first killed Japanese citizens (NOT soldiers, oddinary business people and their family!) living in China.

And you must know Tibet has never been part of China -- the land of Yuan Dinasty included Tibet, but Yuan Dinasty was a Mongolian empire, NOT Chinese emipire!

[maomikimirai]

A very very good job, Mr Gere!

BE ASHAMED, YOU CHINISE!

Young Chinese people studying or working in Europe, America, Australia, Canada, Japan, etc., you must know the REAL history instead of the propaganda your government has been spreading. You must start NOW!

[bigtisas]

Richard needs a brain. He probably doesn't know the Tibet horrify history when it was ruled by Dalai Lama.
