Olympic Post Mortem - China

August 2008

As the world watched the Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday, we discover just what made this the most important event to happen in China since the proclamation of the People's Republic in 1949.
"In 1908 a Chinese newspaper wrote; imagine if one day we can host the Olympics. Only hours remain before the dream of a century will become reality." Nobody could appreciate this more than Liang, whose daughter won China's first gold in weightlifting. "This is a celebration that took China 100 years to achieve." Yet the many strict regulations have created many out-of-pocket farmers and builders.

Why isn't there any English translation from the dialogue? This is an English documentary.

@ex0duzz This is a common mistake. (I'm sure our initial misunderstanding was due to cultural differences). I'm not accusing you of being anything at all. I am just saying be more succinct and be more specific when you talk to people here. Dancing around or using protocol/niceties/delicacies in such a short space is restrictive to your point.

That said, Russia AND China are both under NWO rule at the moment (CENTRAL BANKS). They will be "played" as the "villains" in the upcoming World War 3.

@t4705mb6 i dunno what you're trying to get at, but yeah. I guess i sounded rigid and somewhat 'stiff' in the way i posted. But yeah. You're basically saying i'm not a REAL person because of the way i talk? haha.

And those ARE MY OWN thoughts. China is NWO free, since i associate NWO with the west, in particular US/UK/NATO. Russia and China are the two real thorns to this 'NWO', as my post says. Are you accusing me of being a brainwashed communist party member or something? That's not nice.. :p

[t4705mb6]

@ex0duzz Not to offend but, that sounded TERRIBLY "party line" - NO information given at all. Do you have any thoughts of your own considering my comment? You sound "stiff" and "regimented". REAL people don't discuss the world in terms you use. Ever sit around a campfire and talk with friends about world problems?

[ex0duzz]

@t4705mb6 Disclosure, i am ethnically chinese, living in Melbourne Australia(one of the worlds most consistently livable cities, ranked by various 'independent' international research thinktanks etc).

So yes, i recognize my own biases, and i would like to be challenged and educated/schooled whenever possible, by the people who oppose my stance. I don't care about being wrong, what's important is the truth and people trying to share knowledge and do it in a non condescending/arrogant way. Thnx.

[ex0duzz]

@t4705mb6 You are right in general and i agree with your basic premise(rampant use of power that doesn't benefit society at large, ie 'fascism', of which not only exists in China), but like i said.. it's of a different kind, a 'chinese' kind. China has it's own 'brand' of everything basically, ie Capitalism with a 'Chinese' bent, Communism with again, a 'chinese' capitalist bent. etc etc). So yeah. I think these 'chinese' differences make them at odds with the NWO that u keep bringing up.

[ex0duzz]

@t4705mb6 NWO can say what they want. But in the end, China controls China because i don't think China lets them(NWO, or those anti China) have much power in China, unlike the rampant capitalism(ie corruption) which pervades the US(not saying China has no corruption, it's just of a slightly different breed). I believe the one party system has it's bonus and disadvantages. But one thing i like is that it's 'long sighted', as opposed to 4 years of being a puppet president with trolls(opp party).

[t4705mb6]

China getting the Olympics for the first time was just the NWO's way of saying, "See, world? Socialistic Fascism is REALLY ....cool!"

Ah! Sports broadcast from....CHINA! Communism legitimized! Since Japan has been liquidated, won't be long now before China is the #1 world power with their huge army, stealth aircraft, French designed stealth navy and new space program up and running. In fact, there's only ONE country left standing in their way. I wonder which country that could be? Hmmmmm.
