Introduction: Be! Facts, facts and more! After our last
"Special Tibet" we have received many letters. We can not answer each. I apologize. Three trends emerge from the letters received (remember that our newsletter reaches fifty thousand recipients and comes to people of various political leanings, not only to the left).
1. Many like our work and spread it.
2. Many others are trying to talk and ask questions of construction, which coincide with our intentions.
3. Still others are so outraged that we all kind of climax they hitch epithets. But there may be a dialogue with the epithets? We respond Facts! Facts and facts again!
A clarification, here it is not Beijing defend everything he does (eg what happened during the Cultural Revolution). This is the right of citizens to receive accurate information and comprehensive. Essential to form an opinion. To do that, you hear the version of both parties. What would we think of a judge who did not want to hear both sides?
For four years this site provides information on the media lies. If there has been misinformation in Iraq, Yugoslavia, Palestine, Venezuela, and in all major conflicts in which they play in the U.S. and European interests, because Tibet should be an exception?
Although the contents of the article answers a single author, we would like to make three questions:
1. If what happens in Tibet is so clear, because we were fed so many lies the media in recent days?
2. Why not explain that these facts have been prepared by the CIA to methods used previously, compared to Vietnam or to bring down Allende Salvdor?
3. Why hide the strategic interests that the U.S. have there? In this regard include the founding document of the Bush policy: the known "Project for a New American Century (PNAC). With this, China is seen as the main obstacle to U.S. global domination.
Everyone should be his opinion without being overawed.
Michel Collon and the team Investig'Action
Five questions about the rebellion in Tibet
Peter Franssen
This newsletter is totally dedicated to the events that took place in Tibet. Last Friday, March 14 there was a rebellion in Lhasa, capital of Tibet Autonomous Region. What has happened has sparked worldwide protests against the intervention of riot police and the Chinese army. Here are five essential questions and a draft response for each.
1. What really happened?
In the West the public had the impression that of peaceful demonstrators, led by monks, had marched through the streets of Lhasa to demand freedom, and that the Chinese police and its army had intervened in a very repressive. In five, ten days, many people continued to keep this version. Nancy Pelosi, speaker of parliament and the U.S. number two in the political hierarchy of his country, is one of those. Pelosi has publicly stated that China's behavior was "a challenge to the conscience of the world."
See the article: www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/21/news/Pelosi-Dalai-Lama.php
"If we do not talk now, we will never have more right to speak," he added the lady. The The Dalai Lama thanked her by saying that the U.S. was the "champions of freedom and democracy." The Dalai Lama knows he has the good fortune to be Tibetan and not to live in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan or Iraq, to \u200b\u200bmention only some of the countries in which the U.S., these "champions of freedom and democracy, unleashed wars . Wars that have been able to count on this blessing of peace from the eternal smile that is the Dalai Lama.
Two days after the declaration of Nancy Pelosi, the German Hans-Gert Poettering, President of the European Parliament, stated that "if the Chinese government continues with this hard line on Tibet, we think a boycott the Olympic Games. "
See the article: www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7f31888c-f8e5-11dc-bcf3-000077b07658.html
This proposed boycott had already made days before the French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner . His German counterpart, Frank Walter Steinmeier, has also issued a warning to China, stating that his behavior could affect the Olympic Games.
See the article: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h79xS2DH2a0P1VYcF_2aHikRFJtAD8VHTPG0
We believe in the sincerity of Pelosi, Poettering, Steinmeier and Kouchner. Without doubt, all statements, reports, videos and photos of eyewitnesses of the facts show just the opposite of what the politicians claim to have happened. Currently, we can say with certainty, that last March 14 there were demonstrations, but a real insurrection. Groups of young (sometimes accompanied by monks), armed with knives, daggers, stones and Molotov cocktails, set fire to shops, vehicles and homes. With the exception of tourists, have been threatened all Tibetans. Not only the Chinese were attacked (sometimes to death), but also Muslims hui. The violence was brutal, ethnic and racist. We collect a number of witnesses coming mostly from Western sources.
"In front of our hotel set fire to four buildings"
"the intersection in front of my hotel I could see how some angry Tibetans took to throwing stones in the Chinese motorcycle and go from there. When someone fell from the motorcycle, beat them brutally, "said a tourist in the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant.
See the article: www.volkskrantreizen.nl/blogpost.php?username=reisredactie&webtitle=nederlanders_over_onluste&usergroup=redacti
"Not even the elderly were saved"
The French daily Le Parisien published an interview with a Canadian tourist, John Kenwood. The witness told how a gang has pulled off a motorcycle and got an old barrel. A Westerner who went from there managed to save it.

2. What was the target of this violence?
induce the Chinese government
There was a spontaneous rebellion? It is an explosion of popular fury which, unfortunately, it ended badly? This is the version we want to give the Dalai Lama. Extremist organizations have admitted that they planned what happened. The tactic was expected to cause the Chinese authorities. On March 15, the day following the rebellion, The Seattle Times published an article that was entitled "Consider China." Tsewang Rigzin, president extremist Tibetan Youth League, said that the Olympic Games are an opportunity to forward their cause world opinion. "We want to explore the Cina.Vogliamo showing its true face. For this cause it so. "
See the article: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2004284049_Tíbetanalysis.html
The facts have followed the plan provided. In this video we can see, in about 90 seconds, a man armed with two sticks, standing on the roof of a police car. It is the leader of a gang of violent. The man, part of the Tibetan Youth League, is known to the intelligence of the Chinese police. It's been underground. The man was part of a group of 40 Tibetans who a month before the events, had received an intensive course of three days in the Indian town of Dharamshala, where he was the Dalai Lama. One of the instructors was none other than the head of "The Voice of Tibet", a radio station financed by the CIA. During the course were discussed such topics as the role of the media, the situation in Tibet, the importance of the Olympic Games, the importance of action coordinated the field.
See the article: www.phayul.com/news/article.aspx?id=19302
The two manuals used in that course had been previously used, for example in Eastern Europe, where young people far-right organizations, Otpor (Serbia) and Pora (Ukraine), directed and trained by the CIA and other intelligence agencies, have attended these courses to prepare the famous "Orange Revolution". In 2006, the Albert Einstein Institute has translated those manuals. The prologue of one is none other than the Dalai Lama. You can read all

Renovating theocracy
Declaration the president of the youth that we find below, coincides with the objectives of the rebellion set of five Tibetan separatist organizations. In this text, it is clear that the five organizations have demanded an uprising that would put an end to "occupation." These are: The Tibetan Youth Congress, the Tibetan Women's Association, the Gu-Chu-Sum Movement of Tibet, the National Democratic Party of Tibet and Students for a Free Tibet. In its platform of demands we can find the objective of a return of the Dalai Lama in Tibet, which "should give the rightful place for law as a legitimate leader of the Tibetan people." These organizations claim, therefore, the return of theocracy in Tibet. It 's like the fundamentalists Catholics wanted the restoration of feudal medieval Europe, "by giving the Pope his rightful place" at the helm of the temporal power. Tibetan Uprising
Declaration (Declaration on insurrection Tibetan) January 4, 2008.
See the article: http://tibetanuprising.org/2008/03/11/background/
induce escalation of violence
the face to world opinion the Tibetan movement seems very friendly and peaceful, spiritual essence and dedicated to the elevation of souls. But what has happened Lhasa shows us a very different reality. Six days after the deaths in Lhasa, after which it was legitimate to expect a pause by the instigators of the violence, the provocations were again verified. On March 20, belonging to the five mentioned separatist organizations met with the Dalai Lama and asked him to make an appeal to violence.

To obtain the dismemberment of China
Some of the principal authors of the Tibetan movement claim to break up China and their desires is not only Tibet, but would like the Autonomous Region of Xinjiang and Mongolia were separated from China. The five above organizations have organized a "peace march", which began March 10 from the Indian city of Dharamsala. This march will last for five months and plans to cross the border between India and Tibet prssimo August 8, the day of the inauguration of the Olympic Games. But the march not only the Tibetans will participate. As they say, will do "with people from other occupied territories such as Mongolia and Turkmenistan East (Xinjiang)." Even these "occupied territories" should be released.

3. Media lies, but for what purpose?
The majority of politicians and media have condemned China for what happened in Lhasa. But how would they behave if gangs of young rioters to be drawn to steal and burn the shops of Avenue Louise in Brussels? Do not complain in the police and harsh penalties? Friday, March 14 throughout the day, the police acted with extreme caution in Lhasa. But we have read in our media that China had reacted with "excessive violence". To convey this message to the public, some media have played dirty. They tried to convince us that the murderers and arsonists were freedom fighters, harshly repressed. They tried to discredit the Chinese policy at all costs. This
March 14 Tibetans in Lhasa have been "killed like dogs," says ABC:
See the article: www.abcnews.go.com/International/Story?id=4468783&page=4
The International Herald Tribune informed its readers that there were 30 dead by the Chinese repression.
See the article: www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/15/asia/AS-GEN-India-Tibet-Deaths.php
Radio Free Asia has presented a video on its website with information that hundreds of people "protesting peacefully in Lhasa until" the Chinese police has killed two. " Quest'emittente seems that the CIA is created by the lies themselves, as seen in the video just the cars on fire. Not even a policeman.

removed by critics
Chinese students abroad were outraged by the treatment of these reports by Western media.
So they opened a web page where www.anti-cnn.com/ are refuted these lies and their criticism is contained in this four-minute video:
See: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSQnK5FcKas
Reporters without shame
Except for organizations that run around the Dalai Lama, the organization Reporters Sans Frontieres (RSF) in this country has stood for the lies against China. RSF claims to be an independent organization that defends press freedom and human rights around the globe. Has sufficient influence in the Western media, although as an organization is nothing but a factory of lies. RSF has continued to publish items that promote hatred and blame China for the violence and victims. We could not miss the call to boycott the Olympic Games.
See the article: www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=26254
RSF is managed and partly funded by the CIA. Its leader, Robert Menard, a man who maintains close ties with the Mafia in Miami. RSF says that "Cuba is the largest prison of journalists in the world." Suspending a claim, if we consider that over the last forty years 791 journalists have been murdered in Latin America and even one was killed in Cuba
Robert Ménard and his team are very active in Menard is critical to Cuba the man who last week tried to sabotage the ceremony of the Olympic flame ignition. Although the media continue to believe the falsity of Menard, UNESCO is not wrong, just recently finished working with RSF. The reason? On several occasions, RSF had shown a lack of ethics in dealing with certain countries so little purpose.
See here on the decision of UNESCO: www.cubanews.ain.cu/2008/0313fracasaintento.htm
4. The Tibetan movement is spontaneous and independent?
In China there are about 5.4 million Tibetans, ie 0.4% of the total population of the country. The brave little David against Goliath the giant evil: This is an image that has been shaped public opinion. Even in this case the truth is very different. The main support of the Tibetan movement is the United States and more specifically the CIA and the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs. For more than half a century, the Dalai Lama has close ties with these two pillars of U.S. foreign policy, the Dalai Lama walked away from his country to seek refuge in India at the request of the CIA in exchange for a large amount of dollars, despite the 'agreement with the government in Beijing. For many years the CIA was preparing an armed uprising in Tibet. The rebellion broke out in 1959, at that time the CIA had a training camp in Colorado, where he trained hundreds of Tibetans in guerrilla tactics and terrorismo.Questo program lasted until 1961. But the low intensity conflict (LIC) that the CIA maintains in Tibet continued to work until today. Have changed only the methods and tactics of the LIC. For more information: www.atimes.com/atimes/China/JC26Ad02.html
Financing through the CIA
The U.S. influence on the Tibetan movement is evident when we note that they are mostly just those who support this movement. In 1998, journalist Jim Mann wrote an interesting article in Australian newspaper The Age on the basis of official documents of the U.S. authorities. This article revealed, among other things, that in 60 years the CIA had given 1.7 million dollars a year to the Tibetan movement abroad. The Dalai Lama directly received $ 180,000 a year.
See the article: http://listserv.muohio.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9809c&L=archives&P=14058
course, we can ask what is the democratic quality of the Dalai Lama if the motion receives financial support by an organization responsible for millions of deaths in many places on the planet.
NED funding through the same period and later, the CIA faced criticism for the implementation of the Phoenix program in Vietnam, which cost the lives of 26,000 people, the coup against President Allende in Chile and support of death squads in Latin America. For this reason, part of CIA activities were transferred to a new organization, cynically called the National Endowment for Democracy (NED, National Endowment for Democracy). Since then, much of the money that the Tibetan movement has received, comes from its coffers. It was also funded, among others, the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT), an organization whose goal was to bring world opinion than the Dalai Lama. The Board of Directors consists of ICT, among others, the agent of the CIA and Czech President Vaclav Havel and the old Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis. These two people are also members of the International Committee for Democracy in Cuba, an elite club of extreme right.
You can admire this group link: www.cubanismo.net / teksten_nl / democratic / eu_voor_cuba.htm
Another beneficiary of the U.S. money is the Tibet Fund (Tibet). This organization aims to persuade the Tibetans and the rest of the world of the legitimacy of the Dalai Lama. In 2001, Sharon Bush was its director: nothing more and nothing less than the sister of the current U.S. president.
Another group that receives money from the NED is the Tibet Information Network (Information Network Tibet), which is based in London. This group has a vocation propaganda. E 'directed by Oppenheimer, a journalist who has worked 22 years for the BBC.
The Tibetan Literary Society (Tibetan Literary Society) is funded by the NED, for the publication of the newspaper Bod-Kyl-Dus-Bab (Tibet Times).
Ned also appears in the accounts of the Tibet Multimedia Center, which broadcasts audio and video messages with the Dalai Lama. The Tibetan Review Trust Society, also funded by the NED for its publications in Tibetan and Chinese. The report of the NED
2006 (# www.ned.org/grants/06programs/grants-asia06.html chinaTibet) can be seen that five organizations Tibetan receive funds, which together reach a total of $ 173,000. But the list is not complete, for the "confidentiality" of some donations.
Funding through the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs
The NED is not the only one to provide funding to the Tibetan movement. The Dalai Lama and his entourage received large sums of money through the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL - Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The DRL receives money from the state to promote "democracy and human rights" around the world. Devotes the fourth part to organizations who are interested in "democracy and human rights "in China. The majority are Tibetans. Last year, the DRL has donated $ 23 million. A third of this was given to Ned won, the rest of the score has the same DRL. Among the other beneficiaries, the Tibet Fund mentioned above. The last annual report of the Tibet Fund is dated 2005.
See the document in PDF: http://tibetfund.org/annual_reports/2005report/2005_annualreport.pdf
With this, we can see that this year has five million dollars, half of which came from the U.S. government, especially by the Office of Population, Refugees and Immigration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This office is a section of the DRL. In 2005, the Dalai Lama has received $ 500,000 directly to the fund. Funding from Europe
The U.S. government is the main provider of funds to the Tibetan movement. Therefore, it is understandable preference of the Dalai Lama against U.S. foreign policy. But European governments are no different. Large slices of payments to the Tibetan movement are not made directly, but through foundations such as, for example, the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung Foundation and the Heinrich Bol Stiftung Foundation. The Dalai Lama, in 2005 awarded the Light of Truth (Light of Truth) to Count Otto Lambsdorff, chairman of the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung.

5. China is condemned by the international community? If we believe the information
western China is completely isolated, so the whole world condemns its policy. In fact, since last March 14, about a hundred countries have expressed their full support to China. The words "international community" in the mouth of U.S. President Bush, French President Sarkozy and German Chancellor Merkel, represent only themselves. Asia Latin America and Africa are not part of the choir. Recall that the "international community" by G. Bush also supported the war against Iraq. But if we look better, this was not true at all. According
Vietnam, Cambodia and Bangladesh, China has behaved properly.
The governments of Vietnam, Cambodia and Bangladesh were the first to express their support to China. Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs said: "Vietnam fully supports the Chinese government on the measures implemented to stabilize the situation in Tibet."
See the article: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-03/21/content_7832281.htm
Hugo Chavez supports China and the Olympic Games
The Venezuelan president has condemned the violence of arson in Lhasa . He is convinced that those responsible are the USA.

Russia, Belarus, Pakistan, Arab countries ...
not have expressed support for Beijing only the direct neighbors.
See the article: www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2008-03/21/content_6554245.htm
Central Asian countries, Sierra Leone, Benin, Syria, Mongolia, Nepal, Tajikistan ...
The list is long. On the uprising in Lhasa, the Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs said: "Syria condemns the acts and those who are dietro.Esprimiamo we declare our solidarity and support of the position of China."
See the article: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-03/22/content_7836298.htm
"Cuba condemns the recent events that occurred in Tibet."
In these hard terms, the Cuban government has condemned the uprising in Lhasa. Cuba also said that "attacks on 19 Chinese embassies and consulates in 16 countries have a very serious violation of the spirit and paper to the Vienna Convention on diplomatic and consular relations."
