The Posts below are updates on Human Right Issues from the Day....Posts about the Olympic Torch arriving in San Fran and Tibet are below.... the Detoured Torch Route in San Francisco, where We The People took to the streets in massive numbers sending a Messege about the Olympics and China and Human Rights Abuses in Tibet.......Dusty made an Amazing Youtube that must be seen.....
To know that Empathy and Compassion are still expressed here...even in our Own Police State....and that Our People still were able to Peacefully Protest and in Large Numbers gives one Hope....Many Prayers for the Monks that are Marching and Protesting For Human Rights in Many Places, They realize that Human Rights are Suffering, people are suffering....May we join them in their Protests and their Angst.....Namaste.

Just dropping in to say hi, been running in circles and still have a couple days to go and wanted to thank you for all the posts on Tibet.
This whole circus Olympics needs to be shut down and it is shameful that it is not.I am outraged and sad. God, when is the human race going to wake up and smell the coffee? Never?
Take care enigma.
Majorie...
Thank you....I don't know when people will wake up, but in a way I think we are seeing an awakening.... - but that The Torch and the dishonest "Harmony Journey" has been met with Protests in each and every Country...People are waking up..is it Enough , Soon Enough...? I don't know..
THere is Something Happening...There is a Shift occurring...When Burma Happened earlier this year- and I blogged it and Blogged Olympic Boycott Issues- I got hate mail and anger thrown my way.....I don't see that now....I see people showing more empathy and concern.....
Namaste friend....
I've been wondering what the people in China were being told about the protests. Do they even know what is happening in Tibet, or how that might affect the Olympics? Of course, their news blames violence in Tibet on the Dalai Lama. AND, as if to prove news is all about censorship, Jack Cafferty says they are also being told that "as the Olympic Torch is currently being passed from nation to nation, it is being warmly received." Cafferty said it was like a chinese version of Bagdad Bob.
DK:
I think their news is very much controlled and censored, and filtered. Ironically many of the Photos and articales about the Monks and Tibet, Burma too are being removed from GOOGLE, 404 PAGE not Found all over....
This also means that if our Athletes are there- we will have no way to know if they are okay- this is not safe for any athletes or journalists that will be there....
CBS covered it a couple of days ago- and Jack got it right- actually I think it is worse....than Baghdad Bob.....I was grateful that Jack spoke out and that CNN and MSNBC covered the Protests.....( they have not covered Anitwar /AntiIraq Protests in years)
Later tonight I will try to put the Tibet Posts together and the YFZ posts together....
I was delighted to see the authorities in SF really focus on making the relay a circus. International coverage just trying to avoid local protests - GREAT!!!
D.K. I don't believe China is getting the media coverage, but our PM Kev is there at the moment raising the issue, in Mandarin no less.
Aussies are thrilled to have a leader who will speak out on our behalf.
Cart:
well that is good news...the Media here would rather cover Britty Spears and her missing undies and trips to Rehab ( they get more coverage)...MSM here is still plagued with bad GOP habits...dumming Down the Obvious....
we envy you and your new leadership....
sigh....
well, if they can do it 'down under' we can change our leadership here also. We are both countries made from rebellious people - eh? smile
i'm so happy that Tibet is finally getting the world wide attention it has needed...hugs!! it seems to be that the world is a changing~slowly.
I talked about this today myself again but as usual in the big picture. I was appalled the way it went in San Fran. Chaos!Officials were proud no one was killed. Someone will be eventually as they insist on running through Tibet.
Anyway watch the big picture. Think of it all and put it in context. I will shut up my dear enigma. Namaste!
