The Dalai Lama work for the CIA


I don't know if the Dalai Lama works for the CIA or not. Given that he was
attacked by China, it is logical that he would seek allies elsewhere.


I don't know if you are familiar with the history of Tibet.


I don't know if you are familiar with Yu. You need to look at what he
says very carefully before accepting it. He is full of half-truths
and meaningless statements.

The Dalai Lama held an important post in the PRC gov. He was the
deputy speaker of China's Parlaiment.


Yeah, and Mao let him have so much power, I'm sure.
Another meaningless statement.

In 1954 he even express the wish to join the Communist party of China.


When he was 19 years old.

And after 1959, then what?
---

... I actually studied Marxist ideology and learned the history of the
Chinese revolution. Once I understood Marxism, my attitude change
completely. I was so attracted to Marxism, I even expressed my wish to
become a Communist Party member...The Dalai Lama
(Time Magazine; "Exile;" October 4, 1999; pp. 78,79.)
-------
In the 50s US and China fought the Korean war.
CIA actively seek out the Dalai Lama to help them sarbotage China's
western region.
In 1959 they manage to lured the Dalai Lama into working for them.
Declassified CIA document showed that CIA paid the Dalai Lama $180,000
a year.

Really? You wouldn't say want to offer proof of it?


Ok, read this UNICEF statistics:

Nepal
http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/...tatistics.html
Per capita Gross National Income: US$230
Life expectancy: 60
Literacy rate: 42
Primary sch enrolement:70%

Bhutan http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/...tatistics.html
Per catita Gross National Income:590
Life expectancy: 63
Literacy rate: 47
Primary sch enrolement:53%

Tibetans (China official statistics; there is no UN statistics on
regional China):
Per capita GDP: US$307 (Chinese yuan is under valued; the perchasing
power is considerably higher )
Life expectancy: 67
Literacy rate: 60
Primary sch enrolement:80%
------------
Tibetan are better off than their Himayan neighbours except that
because of the grossly under value yuan the percapita GDP of Tibetan
looks less than Bhutan.

CIA and Dalai Lama
Here is a declassified 1964 document on US Gov website. Dalai Lama was
paid US$180,000 a year by the CIA.
http://www.state.gov/www/about_state...x/337_343.html
excerpt: The cost of the Tibetan Program for FY 1964 can be summarized
in approximate figures as follows: a. Support of 2100 Tibetan
guerrillas based in Nepal--$ 500,000 b. Subsidy to the Dalai Lama--$
180,000 c. [1 line of source text not declassified] (equipment,
transportation, installation, and operator training costs)--$ 225,000
-----------

cares about the 100,000 Bhutanese refugees in Nepal.
Supporting the Dalai Lama fit in with the right winger's agenda
starting a new cold war with China.

If they truely care about the values of human lives they will not be
dropping 1000 pounds bomb in Fallujah at night form 30,000 meters.


This is utterly different issue.


Most of the lies about Tibet have originated from the Americans. It is
therefore important to look at the profile of Americans themselves to
discover their motives in spreading these lies?
Are they truely interested in human rights or just promoting their own
national interest?

It belongs to China. It is as simple as that.

You obviously don't believe in, or understand democracy.

The essential point is that Governments are chosen by the people*. The
people are not chosen by the Government.

Taiwan belongs to the people of Taiwan, just like the USA belongs to
the people of the USA,


It sounded right but when you look deeper there are flaw.
Where are the Aboriginals of Taiwan?
Where are the natives of USA?
After killing off most of the Natives the white American talk about
democracy.
Will they agree to return Alaska to the Natives.
Same thing in Taiwan.

Will the dominent Min-nan ethnic group allow the Hakka of Taiwan to
form an independent nation? When it suit their interest they say
Taiwan belongs to Taiwanese, knowing fully that Min-nan will dominate
other ethnic groups.

So when do you put the past aside?


If I have the budget of the Radio Free Asia,believe me, I can make the
Black/white/asian americans kill each other. Ethnic hatred did not
stop in the past and it can be promoted. You may not like to hear
this, but USA is promoting it in China.

The Chinese Government has done
it's utmost to unite all the inhabitans of Taiwan against China.


Not really.
There is no communist candidates in Taiwan elections.
The ethnic hatred that caome out of it are local.

Perhaps when China becomes more prosperous and free then the people of
Taiwan will want to rejoin. Until then, we should recognise them as a
seperate country, just as we recognised the DDR as a seperate country.


"Taiwan belongs to Taiwanese"
" Rwanda belongs to Rwandan"
"Sudan belong to sudanese"
It rhymes but think more deeply it all selfish ethnic interest.


If the people of Taiwan vote for unification, then Taiwan will become
a part of China. China's attitude (like that of Spain's with
Gibralter) is hardly encouraging such a vote.


If there is a vote Taiwan will probably be splite into 6-7 pieces


In the meantime, the West should treat Taiwan as any other independent
sovereign country.

*The only debatable point is "who are the people". Should chinese
migrants who have forcibly swamped the population of Tibet have a say
in the Government of Tibet? Should Americans of European descent who
took the country from the natives have a say? Or the Northern Irish
protestants?


As for as Tibet is concern, Tibetans from the mojority in Tibet.
They are not being swamped.


That is different to what I heard. Ethnic swamping is a common
technique - witness Western Sahara, or indeed all of the Americas.


Tibet is a very hostile place to live.
Hans polulation in Tibet dropped since the 80s.
(
http://www.flonnet.com/fl1718/17180040.htm
see table one.)

Many young Tibetans are heading for the lowlands.
There are 300,000 Tibetans living else where in China.

The Dalai Lama work for the CIA and most of the Tibet activist
organizations are funded by the US and UK gov.
This is their propaganda.


That would surprise me a lot. Do you have any evidence?

Statistics from the CCP are both notoriously inaccurate and corrupt.

Extreme cas considert he SARS and AIDS cover-ups not to mention gross
understatement of miltary expenditure and all kinds of decietful bull****
from economic performance, human rights denials.

Christ the CCP are the MAN U. of lying.

In addition, the figures you use to refer to the inhabitiants of Tibet -
with Han colinistaion consideration of where the INDIGENOUS oppressed
peoples are at. Not aggregate stats.

LIES LIES and STATISITCS.
The only valid stats would have to come from an indepenedent authority -
difficult to do in the CCP dictatorship.

Do you have a problem with that? China did, after all, invade Tibet. If
someone fights back, is that so bad?

This is ancient history. In 1964, China was a menacing, backward,

Snip list, but NED sounds like a reasonable idea. A bit of democracy

Tibet House

Declassified CIA document mentioned of how CIA created Tibet House.

This about their aims:

"Tibet House is dedicated to the proposition that the wisdom and arts
of all human civilizations vitally enrich the emerging global culture.
Within this, we focus on a special concern for Tibet, its people, its
spectacular highlands, and its civilization of extraordinary wisdom
and beauty. Tibet's vast high plateau is the size of the United States
west of the Mississippi. Its mountain snows give rise to Asia's
greatest rivers, sustaining the lives of 40% of humanity. The hidden
heart of Asia, it has served during the last thousand years of
invasion as the treasury of Asia's most sophisticated spiritual arts
and sciences. Yet its precious Buddhist civilization of wisdom,
compassion, peace, and harmony is under a real threat of imminent
extinction. By presenting Tibetan civilization, its profound wisdom
and special art of freedom, to the people of the world, we hope to
inspire them to join the effort to save it. Tibet House New York is
part of a worldwide network of Tibetan institutions committed to
ensuring that the light of the Tibetan spirit never disappears from
the face of the earth."

Hardly seems unreasonable.

The great truth and great irony of that statement
is, I think, completely lost on you. Compared to
the vast majority of humans throughout the vast
majority of history you live a life of unsurpassed
freedom and luxury. Yet you devalue and degrade it.
Worse yet, you devalue and degrade the victories of
democracy and freedom over tyranny and oppression.

Basically, I am telling you the CIA is behind all these Tibet
propaganda.
To the right wingers this is very good.
Lying, assassinations, ploting coups, forging documents are all very
decent thing with their up bringing.

There are others who care about truth and ask intelligent questions.
Where is Sadam's weapons of mass distruction that the CIA claim to
have found?
