Police Remove Olympic Torch Bearer On Orders Of Chinese Paramilitary Thugs Communist Chinese-style political oppression came to San Francisco on Wednesday when police, acting on the orders of Chinese paramilitary cops, removed and shoved to the sidewalk an Olympic torch bearer for displaying a Tibetan flag, as the woman's pleas that she had the right to free speech as an American citizen fell on deaf ears. After seizing the Tibetan flag, the blue tracksuit-clad specially trained Chinese paramilitary police thugs who manhandled protesters in London made the torch bearer known to the San Francisco police were all too willing to do their dirty work for them. Equally outrageous as Carter having her right to free speech violated is the fact that San Francisco police were following the orders of the Chinese paramilitary cops who turned her over to them in the first place. This is completely illegal and lawsuits need to be brought on the basis that the city allowed foreign cops to police Americans, which is completely unlawful unless a state of martial law has been announced. The people of San Francisco have a basic human right to know whether or not their city is operating under martial law. In a You Tube video, Majora Carter, the founder and Executive Director of Sustainable South Bronx, and co-founder of Green for All, is seen being reprimanded by police before being pushed to the sidewalk during the Olympic procession. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la43HAPqCNk "I was carrying a flag for Tibet and the Chinese guards came and took it from me," said Carter. "I'm an American citizen, if I want to stand and support other people in Tibet I can do so - and I was not given that right," she continued. "Free Tibet! Because we're American, we can do that," exclaimed Carter. According to the New York Daily News, "Carter said a Chinese paramilitary squad escorting the torch pounced and turned her over to cops, who pushed her into the crowd." "I was expressing my right as an American citizen using freedom of speech in support of people who don't have it," Carter said. "It just became really clear to me what was going on in Tibet and I wanted to do something," Carter told the media. "Apparently, I'm not part of the Olympic torch-bearing entourage anymore," she quipped. The Coca-Cola Company, who had sponsored Carter to represent them during the torch relay, were nonplussed about the incident. "It's unfortunate that Ms.Carter used an invitation to participate in the torch relay as a platform to make a personal, political statement," a company spokeswoman said. Majora Carter talks to the media after she is shoved to the sidewalk and kicked out of the Olympic procession by San Francisco police - acting on the orders of Chinese paramilitary police. "It would be more disgusting not exercising my constitutional right," Carter responded. Carter was asked to make the statement by Students for a Free Tibet in Memphis during last week's events to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. A report in the New York Daily News quoted an NYPD police officer and a retired FDNY fireman, both of whom also carried the torch and chastised Carter's actions as "disgusting and appalling," seemingly ignorant of that fact that such protests are outlawed in China because it is a Communist police state, unlike America which is supposed to be "the land of the free" where a God-given right to freedom of speech is afforded to every American citizen. The incident coincides with an announcement by Jacques Rogge, the president of the International Olympic Committee, who said that athletes who display Tibetan flags, even in the privacy of their own rooms, could be expelled from this summer’s Games in Beijing under anti-propaganda rules. This is not the first time that American police have displayed behavior more befitting of their Communist Chinese counterparts. During a March 14th rally in New York, peaceful Tibetan demonstrators were beaten up by cops who also threatened to kill them, during a sickening attack that was also caught on video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7NUNwq2MGc THE POLICE ARE STARTING THIS VIOLENCE BY TAKING ORDERS FROM THE CHINESE POLICE /-------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ /-------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE - Chinese secret police have been in cities across the globe, running the show......taking away standard rights of other countries. And this woman just had a flag....showing support for Tibet....then what happens? They grab it off her, tell the American cops to get rid of her and they gladly oblige. These police should have told the Chinese secret service to go fuck themselves....to put it bluntly. Chinese secret police on American soil, enforcing the oppressive laws of their own nation?? YES, THIS REALLY HAS BEEN HAPPENING!!! WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE!!!! :veryangry2: WHAT THE FUCK!

Internet 2 Discussed on Fox News Thursday, April 10, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puaYLiUuXT8 Internet 2 talked about on Fixed Noise! Alex Jones warned about the take down of the current Internet, in which the replacement will be a Chinese-style Internet w/ no freedom.

Yeah, I have no problems trading with China in theory.......but the government/power over there is just so evil and corrupt that we need to think about who we are funding. Actaully - our countries have pretty bad governments/power people, so we should be going after them all.....after all the US help put Mao in power way back.....we really have some sick people running OUR world.

compressed this screen cap...

Why and how did Coldplay come to allow this to happen. I guess we don't know the ins and outs of their record deal. I don't really like "talk" that much now anyway (I prefer the leaked early version better if anything) but I would still hate to think some shit singer was releasing it as a single.

Gordon Brown has basically been forced into this because it looks very bad if he attends - just like Nick Clegg said. What we really want is a prime minister who comes out and says very bluntly that the actions of the Chinese government are unacceptable and we must not support them. But unfortunately we do not have a PM who would dare to give REAL and MEANINGFUL objections about Chinas corrupt government. Firstly, because China is a super-power - if this was a government similar to that of a county like Zimbabwe then he would have condemned this instantly & daily. And secondly - Gordon Brown is a horrid, elitist puppet.

Boycot the games. Simple.

I doubt I will ever listen to X&Y all the way through again - since I feel most of it is really sub par stuff - but I do listen to the odd old b-side or the odd album from their first two. I do thnk that as a band they can still redeem themselves if their new material is something fresh.

Yeah, a study backed or part funded by persons/companies with a connection to mobile phone operators or people who gain from the use of phones in some capacity. Mobile phones probably should be used with caution. The government in the UK suggests not allowing young children to use mobile phones - yet this is seemingly ignored by most people.

There's a 6th fret where there should be an 8th fret near the end in the Puzzling tab above but it's just a typing error.....

Someone, anyone - tell me why this thread even happened?

Hey, what a good post :)

I always feel like Chris' voice was so much better then - and up until AROBTTH I guess. I know people will go on about how much more vocal training he's had since then and all that stuff - yes, I can tell the difference I'm a musican.....- but the amount of 'sqealing' falsetto (as opposed to 'non-sqealiing' haha) and generally higher pitched vocals in the more recent stuff is sickening as times. The B-side - "The World Turned Upside Down" has some horrid moments for example....yikes. I guess he's older now and his voice will have changed a little bit but the overall tone has seriously changed and I think it's for the worse - personally. Thom yorke is probably my favorite male singer (for many great reasons that I wont go into now) and he never seems to grate on me - whereas chris' voice has more recently. It could be down to the songs too - as I think some of their last offerings were drivel - unfortunately..

Exactly. The whole "man made global warming" scam is eventually being shown up for exactly what it is....a lie. I do agree with moving towards no fossil fuels because it is better for us humans in the long run - in terms of health etc. As well as putting a stop to using toxic shit in all our foods and on crops.....and stop dumping horrid waste in areas where it's causing major harm.....AND stop curb the cutting away of the rain forest. But the global carbon tax folk need to be stopped - they are trying to take us all for a ride and thank god people are starting to realise it now.... Th only thing is - will people care enough to stop the bills & laws that are in process all the time?

Ah, yes, back when Chirs didn't hold his guitar like a spanner. haha. They need to go more alternative....and now!! Hoping the new material is far better than X&Y.

God no, it's a terrible song.

Well, just watching US news they have shown a woman saying "it was like a mini 9/11" many times. Which I was expecting.

Don't quite get what you mean there....but.. Yeah, an unfortunate accident.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtPC0W4HII8 Criminal conspirator, Larry Silverstein, who “earned” $4.6 billion on the murder of 3,000 people on September 11, 2001, refuses to answer questions about the destruction of Building Seven. Silverstein is obviously telling lies - why does he fail to answer the questions? Does he actually think anyone can seriously believe a word he says?!?! Criminal.

Second that. I hate even thinking about how people (like this thread starter) see the world. They have got so little education when it comes to the fony "war on terror", Osama and the whole 'hate muslims' thing that it's almost impossible to point out where the serious errors in their argument are.....(it's like trying to do a math exam while under the impression that the number '0' counts as a '1' - you have been given the wrong information in the first place so you are always going to get it all wrong) AND most of the time the so-called "argument" consists of a few words, or media talking points, about how bad these "terrorists" are and that they have done a terrible crime....(which in theis case is true, yeah).....but at the same time the whole agenda by the anglo-american, neo-facists - to create such hatred and cause disruption in the middle-east - goes unmentioned. (when it's documented fact....and these people have control of our countries remember!!!) Lets face it - these past 6-7 years of lies and war are completely uncalled for and were planned by elite scum over 10 years ago - then justified by fake terror attacks. It's the way governments have been working since the roman empire. Just do your reading for crying out loud. If there weren't hundreds of thousands of 'people' (yes, 'people', human beings) who hated they way the US/UK and other western countires behaved towards them and other countires 10 + years ago - then there sure are plenty of them now - and I am one of them. (NOTE: but unlike these idiots who are said to have killed children - I am far more educated and don't think killing any citizen of a country would help matters).

:confused::wacko:

Yep. This is a danger.....and it's not by accident either. The crap in our Water/Food has been poisoning us for a long time. And it's all happening without us being told the exact detials. Fluoridation of our water is a major issue - you have to spead hundreds of pounds to even attempt to get rid of some of the fluoride. (reverse osmosis - and it doesn't even get rid of it all) It's a toxic soup out there.

Drugs In Water Report Prompts Nationwide Alarm Hearings set for April as consumers react with shock, full scale of crisis not realized Tuesday, March 11, 2008 A study conducted by the Associated Press which found that numerous pharmaceutical drugs have contaminated the water supplies of millions of Americans has provoked nationwide alarm, causing consumers and experts alike to react with shock, but the true scale of the problem may not be fully realized. "A five-month Associated Press investigation has determined that trace amounts of many of the pharmaceuticals we take to stay healthy are seeping into drinking water supplies, and a growing body of research indicates that this could harm humans," states the report. At least 13 different medications, from antidepressants like prozac to sex hormones have been discovered in the drinking water of 41 million Americans, a number likely to be far higher considering the fact that all water districts were not tested and some went to great lengths to keep their results secret. Consumers nationwide reacted with shock to the reports without realizing that they were already being mass-medicated against their will in many water districts by way of sodium fluoride being added to water supplies without their consent. New revelations of pharmaceuticals in water will only increase pressure on water districts to remove sodium fluoride or potentially on the flip side, accelerate the drive to add it before consumers have a chance to say no. This is all the more prescient considering the fact that a recent Scientific American report concluded that "Scientific attitudes toward fluoridation may be starting to shift" as new evidence emerges of the poison's link to disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland, as well as lowering IQ. The Philadelphia Water Department was flooded with calls from alarmed residents despite officials denying there was any risk, after the Associated Press revealed that traces of 56 pharmaceuticals or byproducts had been found in city drinking water. New York City lawmakers were similarly disturbed by the new evidence, prompting questions as to why the problem was not divulged to the public earlier. "This is very alarming," a member of the City Council's Committee on Environmental Protection, Peter Vallone of Queens, said. "Rather than sit back and be informed about this, New York City should have been proactive. I would hope we institute some sort of testing as soon as possible." New York environmental organization Riverkeeper described the report as a "wake up call" and demanded that the government immediately "conduct a federally funded national study that provides risk assessments for pharmaceuticals in our waters, and measures the potential human and aquatic health effects." In Pittsburgh, the story resonated with local experts who are concurrently studying the effects estrogen contamination is having on fish, where in some areas 85 per cent are found to be genderless. Dr. Dan Volz from the University of Pittsburgh says the dumping of cleaning products and cosmetics down drains is contributing to the crisis. Myron Arnowitt, state director of Clean Water Action, said, "We know that there is a problem in Pittsburgh, we don't have direct water evidence, but the fish are showing us something is wrong." Dr. Stanley States is the water quality manager of the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, which serves 250,000 customers a day. The Associated Press released more information from their study yesterday which confirmed that drug-contaminated water was having harmful effects on fish. Pharmaceuticals in the water are being blamed for severe reproductive problems in many types of fish: The endangered razorback sucker and male fathead minnow have been found with lower sperm counts and damaged sperm; some walleyes and male carp have become what are called feminized fish, producing egg yolk proteins typically made only by females. Meanwhile, female fish have developed male genital organs. Also, there are skewed sex ratios in some aquatic populations, and sexually abnormal bass that produce cells for both sperm and eggs. There are problems with other wildlife as well: kidney failure in vultures, impaired reproduction in mussels, inhibited growth in algae.Responding to the Associated Press report, Sen. Barbara Boxer, who heads the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and Sen. Frank Lautenberg, chairman of the Transportation, Safety, Infrastructure Security and Water Quality Subcommittee, promised oversight hearings to be held in April. "Boxer, D-Calif., said she was "alarmed at the news" that pharmaceuticals are turning up in the nation's drinking water, while Lautenberg, a New Jersey Democrat who said he was "deeply concerned" by the AP findings, both represent states where pharmaceuticals had been detected in drinking water supplies, but not disclosed to the public," reports the Associated Press. In addition, U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., has asked the EPA to form a a national task force and report back to Congress. "Like many Pennsylvanians, I was especially taken aback by the finding of 56 different pharmaceuticals discovered in the drinking water for the City of Philadelphia. [...] The AP report raises serious questions about the safety and security of America's water system," wrote Schwartz to EPA administrator Stephen Johnson.

Ron Paul Hammers Neo-Con Rival To Retain Congressional Seat ABC News still claims it was close-fought, despite fact that margin of victory was Congressman's biggest ever in District 14 Ron Paul comprehensively defeated main rival Chris Peden last night to retain his Congressional seat and display a metaphorical middle finger to Neo-Con attack dogs who had attempted to deceive the public into doubting the Congressman's chances by making out it was a close-fought race. Neo-Cons have egg on their faces this morning after Paul hammered Peden 70-30 to retain his seat in the House of Congress. Even after the results came in, ABC News were still at it, claiming today, "The fiery Republican with a libertarian bent survived a strong challenge to his day job in Congress on Tuesday, besting a well-funded challenger." Well-funded? Ron Paul raked in $500,000 in the past month compared to Peden's pathetic $20,000. How on earth can $20,000 be described as well-funded? Writing that Paul's presidential run, "Nearly came back to bite him at home," the report conveniently fails to mention the margin by which Paul tanked his opponent - a margin 10 points higher than when Paul defeated Democrat Shane Sklar in 2006 and his easiest victory in any Congressional election since he first ran for District 14. The establishment media and fawning neo-libs like Wonkette did their level best to prop-up Peden as someone who had a legitimate chance of challenging Paul for his Congressional seat, a clear double-standard considering the fact that they wrote off Ron Paul's presidential aspirations from the very start. In a sophomoric hit piece, The Lone Star Times website, which proudly displays a Peden for Congress banner, cited a report that claimed "Peden holds a double-digit lead over “the taxpayer’s best friend.” Under the headline, Could Ron Paul Really Fall?, the site quoted a Pajamas Media blog that falsely claimed, "Polls show Dr. Paul falling behind relatively unknown challenger Chris Peden in his 14th Texas District endangering his congressional seat in the Texas primary." Other establishment media mouthpieces like The Nation attempted to get a Pedenphile bandwagon rolling by hoaxing readers into thinking the Councilman had a chance of beating Paul, when independent polls clearly showed the Congressman was drubbing his opponent, who was a virtual unknown amongst District 14 residents.
