Overwhelming Security Force Assures Peaceful Buenos Aires Stop For Flame of Shame

Federal and local forces, combined with China's Ninja Torch Thugs assured China one peaceful stop yesterday in their Flame of Shame World Tour. Of course, it also helped that the city planners provided a route through the RICHEST parts of their community ending the day with festivities at the Polo Club. World travelers need to IGNORE the China Olympics, maybe take a trip to Monte Carlo instead. Curious where the IOC in condemning China's attempts to control political speech during the Olympics...IE, athletes could be imprisoned for flying the Tibet flag in their own dorm rooms! My suggestion to solve this problem...if the athletic world has any balls at all, EVERY OLYMPIC TEAM would add a Tibet Flag patch to their uniform for opening ceremonies.

In other news, China admits their issue with Tibet is one of preserving the "Motherland", not human rights...NOT EXACTLY...let us all be honest here. If Tibet is granted self rule, that would leave the country free to WORSHIP the Dali Lama, and that would place him, and Tibets religion ABOVE the communist state pecking order...WHOOPS, that does create a problem when all citizens are expected to respect and worship the Communist Machine above all else. In short, China justifies their human rights abuses under the quise of MAINTAINING the proper pecking order in China...meanwhile, lets not forget we also have the Taiwan issue as well...you know, the once China always China syndrome, even if the people ruled don't want to be ruled.

Peter Ueberroth, chairman of the United States Olympic Committee Fine With Stealing Americans Civil Liberties In Name Of Olympic Image

Seems Peter Ueberroth, chairman of the United States Olympic Committee is fine with denying us Americans our rights to civil protest when it comes to protecting the Olympic Image, was fine with the ruse perpetuated today in San Francisco to give China the ability to perpetuate a Propaganda Campaign against its people in China, and against the people of the world.

In short, Peter Ueberroth has shown himself to be a Communist Sympathizer who is fine with China's deplorable record of violating Human Rights, is fine with China's abussive suppression of the people's rights in Tibet...simply stated, Peter Ueberroth has become one of the Butt Monkeys content to suck at the teat of Communist China's largesse.

Riding with the mayor, Peter Ueberroth, chairman of the United States Olympic Committee, said he was satisfied with the relay. He said the U.S. had struck the right balance between preserving freedom of speech for protesters, providing an exhilarating experience for the torchbearers, and preventing a repeat of the chaotic demonstrations that accompanied the torch in London and Paris.

"As close as anybody can do in a free society, so far its looking very good," Ueberroth said. "Virtually anybody and everybody is being heard."

The Flame of Shame Wars in San Francisco...Let the Games Begin

As the maps the police and Flame of Shame Security forces do not really have a lot of options when it comes to the the Olympic Torch this morning. It will not take much planning (coupled with listening to police radios) for the protestors to put people where they need to be when they need to be there.

Key areas to have in your planning should probably include Divisadero Street (just in case Golden Gate Bridge stays involved), Van Ness Avenue (access to city hall and its twin fronts), the Embarkadero, Market, Bay and Broadway...brave souls would figure out a way to clog the Bay Bridge.

In short, contrary to what the police want everyone to think, their options are actually FAIRLY LIMITED, and further convoluted by serious TRAFFIC issues on the best of days during business hours. Key to success...get as many protestors on bikes as you possibly can for FAST DEPLOYMENT...also, if you know any bike messengers, they are GREAT SOURCES of intell!

My advice to the IOC...pull the plug. Having watched the Danny White riots unfold, can tell you San Francisco has the ability to GET UGLY FAST, and having been a bike messenger there, can tell you it is possible for well organized protesters to literally bottle off and TRAP the torch! FREE TIBET!

Olympic Torch, Oppressive Chinese 0, Free Tibet Protestors 4

Face it, China has been embarassed around the world, the Olympics being held in China disgraced as Free Tibet protestors successfully thwart every torch event from the opening ceremony forward! In fact, the growing protests have been so successful that the International Olympic Committee is thinking of pulling the plug on the torches travels! That will be a MAJOR VICTORY for the Free Tibet and Students for a Free Tibet movement.

Meanwhile, protestors have already successfully interfered with the only USA appearance of the torch which is now on the ground in California under TIGHT SECURITY. The original route has already been greatly shortened, and security on the ground is contemplating shortening the route even futher to reduce attacks on the torch...GOOD LUCK, as we all know the second that torch goes public, ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK OUT.

Looking forward, certain things become obvious...Human Rights groups, all people oppressed in China realize this Olympics presents for them their moment of opportunity, and they are going to use it...look for one of the most distruptive, andd perhaps most violent opening ceremonies ever. The only way the International Olympic Committee can stop the embarrassment, put an end to the tranishing of the torch is simple...CANCEL THE CHINESE OLYMPICS in their totality.

BEIJING: The International Olympic Committee said Tuesday that it will soon decide whether to continue with the remaining portion of the international leg of the Beijing Olympic torch relay because of the anti-China protests that have dogged the event.

French Olympic Committee Pussy Boy Henri Serandour Decries Protestors Interference With Sacred Olympic Flame

Hey HENRI, BLOW ME, and GET A CLUE. If the French Government has any balls, you would BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS, would have refused to let the Chinese Olympic flame pass through France!

What happened today was NOT highly regrettable, but instead a WIN FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, you do remember those don't you? I wish that the protestors has managed to roll the bus over, succeeded in KILLING THE FLAME.

The Olympic Flame is not a sign of PEACE, it is a sign of MONEY to be made, the beginning of PROFIT TAKING, the ahtletes unwilling to boycott because they want their endorsements and million dollar contracts, Human Rights be damned! You sir are a PUSSY, a perfect example of what is WRONG WITH FRANCE, while those protestors who showed heart against insurmountable odds exhibited the good that is France, the willingness to stand up for Human Rights, even if it means killing the Olympic Orgy of Profits and National Pride. Let us hope that the protestors gearing up in San Francisco are even more successful, succeed in laying seige to the bus, and killing the flame, stopping its journey forward, making a mockery out of any attempt to light the Olympic torch in China!

French Olympic chief, spectators condemn disruption of Olympic torch relay in Paris

PARIS, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Head of the French Olympic Committee and spectators on Monday strongly condemned the disruption of the Olympic torch relay here by Tibetan separatists and their supporters. Henri Serandour, head of the French Olympic Committee criticized the disruption as "highly regrettable." "I think that people should have let this flame through, that they could have held their protests to one side," he said. "Everyone has a right to express themselves but to stop it passing shows a lack of respect for the basic freedom of our athletes to carry this flame, which is a message of peace to the whole world," the chief said. Another member of the French Olympic Committee said that the Olympic torch relay should not be affected in any way. "The Olympic sacred fire is a symbol of peace, tolerance... and should not be affected by anybody in any way," Guy Drut told France 3 television. Chairman of "Europe-China Cooperation" Club Alain Destrem said that the attempt to block the Olympic torch relay in Paris was "unacceptable". It was a "shameful" scene appearing in the hometown of Pierre De Coubertin, father of the modern Olympic Games, and those people participating in the disruption should be condemned, he said. He expressed his sincere hopes the Olympic flame can safely and smoothly arrive in Beijing, and Beijing will hold a highly-appreciated Olympic Games. A French mother bringing her four-year-old daughter to come to see the torch relay told a Xinhua correspondent that the event would have been a festival of celebration if without those disruptions. "Their behavior will only humiliate themselves," she said. Her view was shared by others lining along the relay route. "We've come here only to watch the torch relay," said a Paris student, who gave his first name as Mark. "What in the world does this have anything to do with us except for annoying us?" he added, pointing to Tibetan separatist demonstrators. As one of a few invited foreign torch bearers, Chinese handicapped athlete Jin Jing just finished torch relaying in front of the Eiffel Tower. She said: "The disruption of torch relay and binding sports with politics make people resentful." "From the expression on spectators' faces, I can see that they don't approve those sabotaging actions as well," said she. The Olympic torch in Paris, the fifth leg of its global travel, was repeatedly disrupted by Tibetan separatists and their supporters who tried to grab the torch or block the relay route. The torch had to be carried on bus several times as precaution measures against the protesters.

Plan Ahead for Olympic Torch in Dar es Salaam

71 to hold Olympic torch

The Tanzania Olympic Committee (TOC) has selected 71 dignitaries, sportsmen and women to carry the Olympic Torch set to arrive in Dar es Salaam on April 12, the body's secretary Filbert Bayi said yesterday. Forty-six of the 71 people have been selected in recognition of their remarkable contribution to sports development in the country.

These include Information, Culture and Sports deputy minister Joel Bendera; Ambassador Mirisho Sarakikya;

Union Affairs minister Seif Khatib; former Taifa Stars coach Syllersaid Mziray; Athletics Tanzania secretary general Suleiman Nyambui; a former amateur boxing coach Habib Kinyogoli and Tommy Sithole, an official with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Be Ready in Buenos Aires for the Torch

Found this little tidbid, thought I would share it with those planning Torch Protests-If Maradona takes part he will carry the torch to the Puerto Madero Amphitheatre, on the corner of Juana Manso and Vera Penaloza street, reaching there at 2:00 p.m. local time.

Should be pretty easy to figure everything else out from this piece of information.

Officials put out Olympic torch 3 times

PARIS - Security officials have extinguished the Olympic torch for the third time because of raucous protests at the relay in Paris.

UPDATE:

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL0772655920080407

The Paris torch relay hit trouble almost as soon as it set off from the Eiffel Tower, and was repeatedly halted by protesters who threatened to break through the imposing security cordon thrown around the athletes carrying the flame.

The torch had to be extinguished because of a technical problem, French police said. A Chinese official was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying it was put out for safety reasons.

"Boycott Chinese goods" and "Save Tibet" read banners held by demonstrators.

"We are doing our best but it will take the world to put pressure on China to help bring democracy and human rights to Tibet," said Phurbu Dolker, a 21-year-old Tibetan refugee.

At least 23 people were briefly detained by police, a spokesman for the Free Tibet movement said.

The Target-The Olympic Van/Bus-Protestors Must Meet FORCE WITH FORCE

Free Tibet, Stop the Olympic TORCH/FLAME. It is obvious that the pigs (police) are using EXTREME force in stopping just protest, which means protestors must elevate their game, meet force with overwhelming force in stopping the Olympic Flame, in bringing the Chinese Olympic Games to their knees. In the first picture, you can see the main target is/should be the small van/bus following the torch. That is where the REAL FLAME is kept...take the van, you take the flame, take the flame, China loses the total symbolism, brings GREAT SHAME on itself as a nation. In the picture below, you can see one example of the EXTREME use of force as PIGS support the Communist Regime by protecting China's Olympic Torch...the next major target for protestors...San Francisco. The torch and flame can be taken using SHEAR NUMBERS...Surround the van, smash windows, douse flame, game over.

Tibet Update, Call For Bush To Boycott Games

The situation in Tibet continues to spiral out of control as Communist China flexes its muscle while George W. Bush stands idly by twiddling his thumbs. How about taking decisive action, acting like a WORLD LEADER by announcing to the world that America is officially withdrawing from China's Olympic games, and challenging all Democracies of the world to follow suit. Meanwhile, below are some breaking articles from Reuters.

Venezuela's Chavez blames U.S. for Tibet unrest

CARACAS, March 23 (Reuters) - Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez blamed the United States for violent protests in Tibet during the last two weeks that he said were aimed at trying to destabilize China.

In comments reported by his press office on Sunday, Chavez said the protests were an example of the U.S. "empire" "going against China" and trying to divide the Asian powerhouse.

Communist China has occupied Tibet, a Buddhist region previously ruled by monks, since a military invasion in 1950.

At least 19 people were killed after protests and rioting against the occupation broke out on March 10.

China has been widely criticized for a crackdown against the demonstrators ahead of August's Olympic games to be held in Beijing.

DHARAMSALA, India, March 24 (Reuters) - The Tibetan government-in-exile has raised its confirmed death toll from clashes between Chinese authorities and Tibetan protesters to 130, a spokesman said on Monday.

"It's 130, mainly from eastern and northeastern parts of Tibet," Thubten Samphel, a spokesman for the government-in-exile, told Reuters. (Reporting by Jonathan Allen; Editing by Alistair Scrutton)

Human Rights Watch has called for the Chinese government to:

• lift its lock-down of all Tibetan areas, including allowing full media access;
  
• account for the missing and dead from this month's protests;
  
• publish the names of all individuals detained and their places of detention; and
  
• give immediate access to independent monitors who can investigate whether detainees are being tortured or mistreated.

AS CHINA INTENSIFIES CRACKDOWN, TIBETANS DEMAND INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE EXCLUDE TIBETAN AREAS FROM TORCH RELAY

New York/London – As Tibetans in Tibet brace themselves for an increased crackdown by Chinese military forces after passing the so-called “surrender deadline” Monday night, Tibetans and supporters worldwide are increasing pressure on the International Olympic Committee to immediately withdraw Lhasa, the Tibet Autonomous Region and the Tibetan provinces of Amdo and Kham now annexed into China's Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Gansu provinces from the Olympic torch relay route. Despite growing reports of arbitrary arrests, house-to-house raids, killings, and even beatings of schoolchildren, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee (BOCOG) stated on Saturday that preparations for the Mount Everest leg of the torch run were “proceeding very smoothly and according to schedule.”

“China must not be allowed to parade the Olympic torch through Tibet while hundreds, possibly thousands, of Tibetans are tortured and brutalized in Chinese detention cells,” said Matt Whitticase, of Free Tibet Campaign. “Unless the IOC wants the Olympic Torch to become a symbol of bloodshed and oppression, they must immediately withdraw all Tibetan provinces from the Olympic Torch relay route.” The Torch Relay begins in Greece in six days.

In a letter faxed on Saturday to the International Olympic Committee and hand-delivered today by Tibetans during a rally in Lausanne, Switzerland, 150 Tibet support organizations – under the umbrella of the International Tibet Support Network – demanded that the IOC "immediately remove Tibet from the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay route." They also called on IOC President Jacques Rogge to make a public statement of concern about the current situation in Tibet. Over 3,800 people have faxed letters to the IOC echoing these calls since Saturday.

“As we hear reports of Tibetan school children being beaten and arrested for peacefully calling for the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet, it is unthinkable that the IOC would continue to move forward with ‘business as usual,’” said Tenzin Dorjee, Deputy Director of Students for a Free Tibet. “The IOC is under the illusion that it can ignore China’s brutality in Tibet, but when China has made Tibet a central part of its Olympics propaganda – including running the torch up Mount Everest – silence now makes the IOC complicit in China’s ruthless policies.”

Protests continue to be reported from all corners of Tibet yesterday, including at several high schools and universities. A twenty-four hour hunger strike and protest was held by hundreds of students at the North Western Nationality University in Lanzhou. In Beijing dozens of Tibetan students at National Minorities University staged a daring vigil in solidarity with the protests inside Tibet. As the Chinese government continues to maintain a media blackout in many cities, Tibetans fear that the worst crackdown has yet to come.
