Coverage of recent Tibetan riots in western media has triggered huge resentment among Chinese communities abroad, who accuse the West for media bias. An independent website (http://www.anti-cnn.com) was set up to “expose the lies and distorted facts in the western media”. CNN has been exposed under cross-fire together with some other big names like BBC, Times, Fox, and a vast number of German media Spiegel, NTV, RTL etc. The website also started an English-language online forum (http://www.anti-cnn.com/forum/en) 4 days ago on March 31st, which now has 1209 posts in total and a boosting number of members rush in almost every single minute.
Under the prompting slogan “We Just Want the Truth, CNN: the world’s leader of liars”, the website scrutinizes how western media like CNN have treated the riot unfairly, mainly out of two concerns:
– Misuse of pictures and videos. Most materials used to illustrate Chinese military force in Tibet were proved to be taken in Nepal or India where some other protests took place. But all captions pointed to Chinese military violence against Tibetan protesters in Lhasa.
– Imbalanced source. Most media only quote pro-Dalai Lama voices, saying the unrest was “Buddhist peaceful protest” and “Beijing used military violence against protesters”. The website has collected vast evidence from video clips to blogs written by western travelers who eye-witnessed the riots, to show that the protest was nothing peaceful but violence, and the death toll was mainly composed of Chinese people (instead of Tibetan protesters as Tibetan government in exile has claimed).
Very likely due to the influence of this website, protests against western media bias burst out in at least 8 countries including Canada, Germany, Australia and Sweden, self-organized by local Chinese students and immigrants.
A few media responded to such movements. German RTL apologized for being bias and misusing some of the pictures. BBC Beijing correspondent admitted “too much emphasis on Tibet side instead of a voice balance”. CNN also posts a self-defending statement (http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/03/28/tibet.statement/index.html#cnnSTCText). But anti-cnn.com seems not satisfied with this and posted a “statement on CNN’s statement” (http://www.anti-cnn.com/forum/en/thread-50-1-1.html) written by a Chinese student studying in Munich, Germany.

Nancy Pelosi Succeed To Write Her Name Into Olympic History, With Her HUGE Hypocrisy
Author : Richard Branson
On March 14, 2008
Hundreds of people came out at Lhasa, Tibet. Suddenly, these people act brutally, throwing stones, set up fire on houses, stores, vehicles, and hitting people.
These coordinated brutal attackers are demanding a free Tibet from China. Only in a couple of hours, Tibet is on fire. Rescue forces and policemen are unable to control these rioters.
Less than 100 people or maybe more died before the security forces succeed to control the chaos. Among the victims are an 8 month-old-baby and 4 girls working as shopkeepers, who were burnt to death.
On March 21, 2008 ( 07 DAYS LATER )
Nancy Pelosi, a US House Speaker rush to meet the spiritual leader of Tibet, Dalai Lama, who was accused by China as the planner of the brutal attack. There, Pelosi gave Dalai Lama a moral support, and condemn China who used forces to control the situation.
Then to provoke the world peaceful community, in front of a crowd of thousands Tibetans including monks and schoolchildren, Nancy Pelosi said “If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China’s oppression in Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world”.
Most of media all over the world quickly quoted what she said, exactly the way she has planned. Many western media found that they have no other option than to bias the truth about the Tibet chaos, in order to make it suitable with Pelosi’s statement. Some of them even cut part of the image to mislead public, some used the real picture with mislead information, some even use videos taken from Nepal to mislead the truth.
Several foreigners touring at Tibet when the chaos happened has turn out their voice about media bias, urging people to see the whole picture. But their voice has been turned down by many media, leaving only small room for them.
On March 23, 2008 ( 02 DAYS LATER )
Four US soldiers died by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, making the death toll 4000 since Iraq war. Meanwhile, a British agency estimated that about one million civilians has been died since the war. Mr. Bush quickly show up and offer condolences to the troops family. Nancy Pelosi didn’t even show up. She didn’t even speak out about human rights in Iraq. She doesn’t even send any condolences.
People across the world, including those freedom loving people in America, who expects her to take her huge part to stop Iraq war, are very disappointed. She doesn’t even do something significant at the fifth anniversary of Iraq war at March 20, 2008.
Many people are shocked with her HUGE hypocrisy, when they compare what Pelosi rush to do in Tibet chaos and Iraq war. Facing 4000 deaths on her own side and about one millions civilian death in Iraq, the human-right-police should said something like “If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against Iraq war, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world”.
Nancy Pelosi has succeed to write her name in Olympic history, with her HUGE hypocrisy. Meanwhile, China will be recorded in the history who try to do the best to hold the Olympic Games. What makes difference is one get respect, the others don’t.
The consequence of her statement had move many freedom loving people throughout the world to attack the Olympic. It started happening when Tibetan protesters disrupt Olympic Flame ceremony on March 25, at Olympia, Greece. Along the way, there will be many protesters who try to disrupt the Olympic, or hold a peaceful demonstration. But the world history will record that all of this peaceful attack can only be related to one person, Nancy Pelosi.
Do the Chinese media as the victim has the courage to publish this article ? Do the western un-censored media has the courage to publish this article ? We will see in the few days.
To conclude the whole article, I found the best quotation at a Hollywood film, starred by Bruce Willis, “Tears of the Sun”. Here is the quotation “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”.
NOTE : PLS SPREAD THIS ARTICLE ACROSS THE GLOBE…(post it to mailing-list, blogs, emails, newspaper editors, bulletin boards, etc). It will help the American peaceful society to stop the Iraq War. It will help the world to realize that China is only the victim of Nancy Pelosi HUGE Hypocrisy. THANKS.

In the ranks of the Georgian army the plan on discharge from Michael Saakashvili’s power is ready. Military men are going to to use against it the same weapon with which help it has come to power, – «velvet revolution».
The ideological motive of overthrow Mishikо is obvious: bloody adventure of this person has given up as a bad job the Georgian statehood and has turned back a national shame for the Georgian people. Besides, because of aggression against South Ossetia, in the country the economic situation has sharply worsened, нищает the people and the prices grow.
The national discontent with a pro-American puppet already so strongly, that does not suffice the ripened revolution only leaders. For lack of those among the politicians, намерены to head indignant crowd representatives of armed forces. To shoot it this time it is not necessary: to protect a mode zvezdno-striped loser in modern Georgia interested persons is not present.
However, besides the become empty purse and the restrained national pride, at Georgian «groupings of changes» are and more one, deeply personal motive. The matter is that skeleton of organizers of revolution on 80 % consists of peacemakers whom aggressions after the beginning have been urgently returned in the country from Iraq.
Let’s remind, that it is a question of the most efficient division of the Georgian army, not a couple that in a panic threw the American technics on bases in Burn and ran away, having caught noise of engines of the Russian tanks.
According to written Saakashvili to the settlement plan («Medvedev’s to plan – Sarkozy »), all armed parts of Russia and Georgia should be returned on disposition places in which they were prior to the beginning of war. Thus “Iraqis” as name in the Georgian army of the peacemakers who have come back from Iraq, too should go back – to one of the hottest points of a planet.
The problem consists that for spent in the homeland children have too distinctly realised couple of weeks, how much «Hvanchkara» and suluguni it is lovelier than bullets and mines of the Iraq insurgents. Shoot there at Americans, and get frequently in the Georgian. In general, back to Iraq peacemakers to come back for what do not want, even by the American military-transport plane.
Saakashvili’s overthrow cancels the contracts signed by it, and peacemakers remain in the homeland. Private benefit and interests of the nation in this case coincide on 100 %. And it means, that the Georgian Fuhrer is doomed.

You, certainly, know about tragedy of South Ossetia. Night execution Zhinval by the Georgian armies has led to death of hundreds our peace citizens. The Russian peacemakers who up to the end have fulfilled the duty on protection of women, children and old men were lost. The Georgian management, in infringement of the Charter of the United Nations, the obligations under the international agreements, has illogically untied a confrontation peace people became which victims. The same fate waited Abkhazia.
Obviously, in Tbilisi counted on a blitz-krig which would confront the world community with a fait accompli. The most brutal way has been chosen to achieve objective – to attach South Ossetia by destruction of the whole people. It was not the first attempt. In 1991 the president of Georgia Gamsahurdia with an appeal: “Georgia for the Georgian”, – only ponder upon these words! – has ordered to storm Suhumi and Zhinval. Thousand victims, ten thousand refugees. The ruined villages – here to what then it has resulted. Russia during that moment has stopped destruction of the Abkhazian and Osset people.
Our country became the intermediary and the peacemaker, achieving political settlement. Thus we invariably started with a recognition of territorial integrity of Georgia. The Georgian management has chosen other way. Negotiating process failure, ignoring of the reached arrangements, political and military provocations, an attack on peacemakers – all it roughly broke a mode in conflict zones. A mode established at support of the United Nations and OSCE. Russia showed endurance and patience.
We repeatedly urged to return to the negotiating table and have not departed from the position even after unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo. But our persevering offers to the Georgian party to conclude with Abkhazia and South Ossetia arrangements on force non-use remained without the answer. Unfortunately, them have ignored and in NATO, and even in the United Nations.
Now clearly – the peace resolution of conflict in plans of Tbilisi did not enter. The Georgian management methodically prepared for war. And political and material support of external patrons only strengthened sensation of own impunity. On the night of August, 8th, 2008 in Tbilisi have made a choice. Saakashvili has selected a genocide for the decision of the political problems. It it has with own hand crossed out all hopes of peace existence the Ossetin, абхазов and the Georgian in one state.
The people of South Ossetia and Abkhazia repeatedly expressed on referenda in support of independence of the republics. We understand, after that has occurred in Tskhinvali and was planned in Abkhazia, they have the right to solve the destiny.
Presidents of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, being based on results of referenda and decisions of republican parliaments, have addressed to Russia with the request for a recognition of the state sovereignty of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The Federation Council and the State Duma have voted in support of these references. Proceeding from the developed situation, it is necessary to make the decision.
Considering free will of the Osset and Abkhazian people, being guided by positions of the Charter of the United Nations, the declaration of 1970 “About principles of the international law, concerning friendship between the states”, Helsinki final certificate OSCE of 1975, other basic international documents, I have signed decrees about a recognition the Russian Federation independence of South Ossetia and independence of Abkhazia. Russia urges other states to follow to its example. It is a hard choice! But it is unique possibility to save a life of people!
