China's Tiananmen square and its 'dark past' - 09 Aug 08

Tiananmen square is one of Beijing's biggest attractions, and for China, a source of both pride and pain because of the 1989 massacre.

But as Tony Birtley reports, many Chinese are unaware of its dark past.

Overthrow the Communist Dogs of Beijing. When is that last time you voted for your Communist Dictators? Your Communist Dictators will throw you in a reeducation camp or run over you with a tank if they don't like what you think.

Western media bias, it is indeed. The people in China do know about the incident that happened at the Tiananmen Square, but just don't talk about nor do they even bother to. Don't even dare to come up with the lame response of the government forbids them to do so.

There was no massacre at T square. Read Gregory Clark's account, and he accuses Western media of propagating the myth. There was, however, a city wide riot that killed 100s of people.

@SekyinB my spouse and I had a Chinese student renting a room from us. She was a very pleasant person to live with, but denied Tienanmen utterly, dismissing it as a myth and thought it was a form of western propaganda. Naturally not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable, we did not press the issue. I wonder how she will feel if one day she finds that this was a factual event?

【6/4天安門大虐殺の犠牲者のご冥福をお祈りします】Tien­anmen massacre murderer Mentality　＝　U.S. COINTELPRO Mentality　＝　Gangstalker Mentality どこの国の「政府」関係者もDemocracyなど望んでいない

てめえの欲望を満たすことだけが目標の民主主義のdestroy­erだ。

が、そのhuman rights violationsの実行にはmass mind controlにかかったバカ大衆を使う。「防犯」だの「テロ対­策」だのとでっち上げた理由で、ノゾキやストーカー、Elect­ric-harassmentなど変態行為をやらせて民主主義・­平和主義者の生活を破壊し弾圧させる。自分らは手を汚さず偽善を­とおす。

いつまでも本質的な問題から目をそらし、誤魔化しているかぎり何­も変わらない .

I can kind of understand the chinese govt.'s philosophy of maintaining harmony for the maximum number of people, and I am far from in love with capitalism, but there are clear limits. Life should never be allowed to be so cheap. You can not kill people for protesting, or for saying what they think, even if you seriously disagree.

A government's role should be to facilitate a wholesome life for its people: they should be representatives, not emperors and despots.
