The Secret Tibet (The Forbidden world)

Today's Olympics

Today's World enhance the appearance of smaller and better, no one feel shock by sightedness and looking each others, no one surprise by seeing the white or black people and asian or ameriacan. But China never changes in this categories. Today's world much needed the great peace and harmony; wherever you go, whenever you think, everywhere, anytime you ask something; he/she might answered for a better and harmony society for the international game. The Olympic game might has a great purpose and determination, that make world better and harmony, that might makes people of world happy and joyful. The Olympic Game must not to be held in dictations or not to be held by commands of a dictator. The main principal of the game is not for a slanted economy or money crisis that creates the war of power and extreme dangerous . It is an ancient culture and tradition for the people of world since it it begun in Greece.

Today, Many countries in the world, particularly, the countries in America and Europe, who strongly determined a peace and harmony Olympics, they always boycotted the Olyimpics in a dictation and forever protested for a bloody Olympics. Canada boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Imagine, if you will, that the U.S.S.R. had somehow managed to pull off two incredible feats: sustain itself and conquer Afghanistan.

Imagine it ruled Afghanistan now, while raping its resources, trying to subvert its religious institutions, censoring and intimidating its people. Would we send our Canadian athletes to a new Moscow Olympics under those circumstances?

I don't know, but I do know we're sending our athletes to Beijing in 2008, despite the invasion of Tibet a half-century ago, and despite the continuing oppression there. China's still moving in its own people to dispossess Tibetans of their homeland. It's putting monks and nuns in jail for expressing their beliefs. When Tibetans try to leave by walking over mountain passes -- call them defectors or refugees, or as China's news agency does, "stowaways" -- they are jailed or even shot.

Say what you will about the Cold War, at least it provided the appearance of moral clarity. We don't even have that anymore. In the absence of a convenient ideological staring contest, how do Canadians find a moral position to take on the 2008 Olympic Games?

Well, there's still time for a boycott of the Olympics, but I'm not holding my breath. Neither is Conservative Senator Consiglio Di Nino, a man who valiantly avoids buying anything made in China and keeps a Tibetan flag in his Parliament Hill office. His concern for the people of Tibet was born on a hiking trip in 1990.

"China should never have gotten the Olympics," he says. "But we've got lemons, let's make lemonade."

Lemonade, in this case, is treating the Olympics as an opportunity to influence China to change. Really change. Morality can't be satisfied with the standard bromides, the "frank discussions" about China's "progress" on human rights.

March 10 is the anniversary of the Tibetan uprising of 1959. On that day, Tibetans took to the streets of Lhasa to prevent the Chinese from killing or abducting the Dalai Lama. He left the country soon after and hasn't been back since.

For decades, he's been asking the Chinese to negotiate true autonomy for Tibet, within China -- a situation that could be analogous to a province within Canada.

It's not an unreasonable demand by any means. And there has been some rapprochement over the years between China and the Tibetan government in exile. But China's government always snaps back to its default position of paranoia, portraying the Dalai Lama as a dangerous separatist.

Canada's Parliamentary Friends of Tibet, of which Mr. Di Nino is co-chair, has been encouraging other parliaments around the world to express support for a negotiated settlement between the Dalai Lama and the Chinese government.

Our House of Commons adopted a resolution to that effect on Feb. 15, introduced by New Democrat Peggy Nash. The European parliament also passed a resolution that day. Several countries are considering similar tactics. Mr. Di Nino's motion in the Senate could be adopted this month.

"What we've been doing, myself and others around the world, is keeping the flame alive," he says. I'm not sure if he intends the Olympic metaphor, but it's apt anyway. There's no better time than the Olympics to speak about the ideals the torch is supposed to symbolize: peace among peoples and respect for the human spirit.

The government of China hates to be embarrassed; nonetheless, I don't expect this round of parliamentary resolutions will be enough to make it see reason. There may be no way for the outside world to make that government see reason, at least no way that's politically palatable. But that doesn't mean the outside world can't light a fire underneath the government.

"I think the Chinese people will likely make this happen one day," says Mr. Di Nino about Tibetan autonomy.

If he's right, the Olympic Games could provide the world with the perfect Trojan Horse -- only instead of invaders, out would pour the most annoying guests imaginable.

The international media could persist in asking unwelcome questions, the dignitaries could make peace and freedom the main themes of every speech, the athletes could speak of censorship, of Taiwan and Tibet and the Uighurs and China's support of evil regimes around the world. As much as the government of China will try, it can't possibly manage everyone and everything. It's time to plead with the people of China, to tell them that their government is doing great harm in their name.

What's Beijing going to do, kick us out or Still let them kill, abuse, dictation and brutalize the Tibetans in Tibet?

Past Olympic Controversies

1936, Berlin: The Olympic movement was discredited when it allowed the Nazis to make the Games a spectacle in glorification of the Third Reich. The Games were opened by Adolf Hitler and many teams gave the Nazi salute. The star of the Games was black American Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals.

1964–1992: South Africa was banned from the Olympics until its apartheid laws were repealed.

1972, Munich: Palestinian militant group Black September raided the Israeli team's headquarters and murdered 11 Israeli athletes and a police officer. The Games continued with backing from Israeli officials but the Israeli team returned home.

1976, Montreal: New Zealand was in the middle of Olympic controversy after touring South Africa to play rugby. The IOC refused calls to ban New Zealand from the Games, which were subsequently boycotted by 25 African nations.

1980, Moscow: More than 50 countries boycotted the Games in a U.S.-led exodus after the Soviet regime invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Then U.S. President Jimmy Carter threatened to withhold funding and revoke the U.S. Olympic Committee's tax exemption if it did not comply.

NO GAMES U S President Jimmy Carter called for a boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics

2008 Beijieng Olympic

Now, there is only 521 days lift, it is time to boycott the Beijieng Olympic Game, it is going to started in China in 2008, where there is the boost economy crisis and bloody human rights records. The purpose of money in economy misleading, there is no real hero for the peace and harmony of World people, particularly for the victims (Tibetans). US and NATO for for war on terror in purpose of oil and islam, EU always not outstanding for if there is no benefit for their member states, but outstanding for double political policy, money became first to their inner mind and human rights and Tibet issues are only in their mouths. UN is a BIG ORGANISATION that never has a heart for Tibet and its Tibetans, UN is like a BIG BIRD without wings and a BIG LION without teeth for Tibet, UN always bark for oil, crisis and economy. I really confused why the UN is so much interested in money. So the all paper tigers make prostrations to Chinese economy blast.
