White House Demands China "Account For" Tiananmen Square Victims
Just as the cyber-spat is off the headlines for a day... and no one from Treasury has discussed the need for the Renminbi to strengthen... The White House drops another well-timed China shot, calling on Chinese authorities to account for those killed, detained or missing in connection with the military assault on pro-democracy demonstrators at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square 25 years ago. Diplomatically, this could be a little awkward as China forbids public acknowledgment of the anniversary in the state-run media and censors the Internet to wipe away both direct and indirect references to the crackdown.
The tally of dead, injured, jailed, executed and missing from the army action has been contentious for 25 years. Chinese authorities initially said the death toll was 23 students and 300 soldiers, but other estimates have ranged into the thousands. The Tiananmen Mothers advocacy group has painstakingly identified 202 victims by name.
A 2005 study in the Stanford Journal of East Asian Affairs concluded that at least 3,000 deaths in Beijing was a likely tally based on available sources.
“The United States will always speak out in support of the basic freedoms the protestors at Tiananmen Square sought, including the freedom of expression, the freedom of the press, and the freedoms of association and assembly,” the White House statement said. “These freedoms -- which are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, the Chinese Constitution, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- are values the United States champions around the world.”
China forbids public acknowledgment of the anniversary in the state-run media and censors the Internet to wipe away both direct and indirect references to the crackdown. Chinese leaders routinely reject criticism of the government’s human rights record by U.S. officials, calling any such reports hypocritical and offering their own counter-assessments of human rights shortcomings in the United States.
“The American people and government applaud China’s extraordinary social and economic progress over the past three decades and value good relations with the Chinese people and government,” the White House added Wednesday. “Even as we continue our cooperation on areas of common interest, the United States will continue to be clear about our differences, and urge the Chinese government to guarantee the universal rights and fundamental freedoms that are the birthright of all Chinese citizens.”
We await China's response... perhaps a Bergdahl reference?

I think I speak for China when I say "Fuck you, Obama." Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself. Who knows. It's about nap time anyway. Another killer-diller day of huge gains in the market for no reason.
How about Obama accounting for JFK's missing brain (and the whole "Magic Bullet" theory)?
Or Building 7? I'd love to see someone account for that.
You know, I imagine the rest of the world is getting pretty fucking tired of hearing how America's shit don't stink.
I think you're right.
China's foreign ministry- 'dude, this was like 25 years ago'...
Official Chinese Response: "Sure Mr. President; right after you account for all the civilians you murdered with drones, and those that were killed by the guns Eric Holder sold to Mexican drug cartels..."
Maybe we should rethink the "legality" of the President being able to assassinate US citizens with drones......? Maybe?
war monger in chief just deployed b52's to the UK... for "temporary training":
http://rt.com/news/163772-b-52-stratofortress-uk/
China replies......
We will comply once you "Account for all the innocent women and children killed by Obama Drone attacks"
You half-and-half mongrel pud.
I want all my tax payments accounted for, because I want a fucking refund. This show is NOWHERE close to what was advertised.
I am Chumbawamba.
You should ask for all your taxes back PLUS interest!
I still haven't forgotten your epic anti-Chinaman rant.
I bought a stainless steel shower hose today. The ends screwed onto the shower head and outlet, but were smooth cylinders and had nothing to grab hold of to tighten. Consequently, it leaked.
It was, of course, made in China. I thought of you!
I've seen people here defend the Chinaman and his engineering; but in my experience, they (both the Chinaman and his loyal defenders) are clueless. I know they produce 13 Quadrillion engineers every year but I have never seen a people so lacking in engineering nous and basic common sense.
PS - before you decry me as a racist, I do like their food, their (traditional) medicine, their martial arts, and their women. So there.
It's not about where it's made, it's about why.
Things are made down to a price, not to up to a quality.
Things are made to fail so you have to buy a new one.
Keep the treadmill going.
I always try to avoid cheap crap, because mostly, it's expensive in the long run.
Good tools last a lifetime.
I think he prefers to be called an Oreo
Ah, the B-52s. Kate Pierson's knockers were potent weapons during my teenage years.
The obviousness of this response is what makes me wonder if the current leadership is seeking to weaken the nation on purpose.
They cannot be this stupid.
Obozo's White House will do or say anything...
To try to divert attention of the sheeple away from..
The Bergdahl, Benghazi, IRS, ObozoCare,...
And all the rest of the multitude of scandals this Admin is mired in.
Incompetence knows no bounds in this White House.
And Jimmy Carter's smile gets bigger every day!
After 2 Bush's , Clinton and Obama, I really long for the days of Jimmy Carter. Other than Reagan,Kennedy and Eisenhower, Carter is turning out to be the best President of my lifetime. Looks like the elites are conspiring to give us either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush in 2016 - 2 fucking evil criminals.
It is .gov. Hubris and incoherence (meant incompetence but autocorrect stepped in. I like the change.) are a staple of the beast. As another example: The goal of a Mars mission by NASA is unobtainable based on a CBO report. I guess you can't do hard science at the same time you are telling the muzzies how awesome they are.
Mars? Shit I would be happy if we could lob a guy/gal into LEO. Or gasp, travel back to the moon 45 years after we first proved we could do so. It would be nice to see them drive around in that moon car, play a little golf, jump, fall down, take some fantastic pictures and bring back moon rocks. We could have another national orgasm and that would unleash that "pent up consumer demand."

45 years after we first filmed it on Kubrick's soundstage.
Hay. If we push the golf angle we might get Obama to go for it, and go himself!
Be a good time to cut NASA's budget.
Or all the soldiers that those "peaceful protestors" murdered and burned
CNN likes to forget that part of the story.
How about some straight up reporting on the numbers of civlians killed in Iraq?
How about a White House statement on the rise in birth defects in Irag due to the extensive use of DU munitions?
Maybe a few words from the teleprompter in chief on the number of wedding parties slaughtered around the world?
Just a whisper on the impacts of Agent Orange on our own troops, the civilians and the ecosystem?
huh?
I don't think you are seeing "American Exceptionalism" like they want you to.
pods
"American Deceptionalism"
Fixed it for ya!
Cheers!
Fundraiser comment. This is one of those press releases done in order to keep a promise for some serious cash. Nothing more. But it does speak volumes about the administration.
In another 25 years another administration will ask about those Nigerian girls with the hashtag - #Stillnotforgotten.
How about accounting for hundreds of thousands of Americans lost in the prison system of bogus drug charges. We certainly have seen plenty of news stories of cops planting evidence etc.
Or why it is that the "land of the Free" has a higher incarceration rate than any other in the world, including China?
US incarceration rate: 716 prisoners per 100,000 population
China incarceration rate: 121 prisoners per 100,000 population
We're #1! We're #1!

WTF!!? Why doesn't the US Gubmint account for all the victims of the Waco crackdown for that matter.
And how about our very own heavily armed BLM cracking down on an old rancher??
"Tank Man" from Tiananmen is the only person I've been thinking about.

The propaganda isn't for the rest of the world, it's for dumbshits here at home.
Especially since we dump all our shit on the rest of the world.
I'm starting to think, being serious here, that 0bam0 is, in fact, a crack head.
We cannot see any of his other records - but maybe we can see his dental records?
Current administration is doing a great job in pissing of every non-Western gov in the world. The day of reckoning therefor is coming this year.
I truly feel for the average american. The U.S. has been set for a spectacular fall for international forces (a fifth column) that most americans can't even see. i can almost hear old larry silverstein whispering 'pull it', as the criminal psycopaths prepare to implode what is left of this country to hide their crimes and secure their escape.
Obama being a crack head is the best case scenario. Scary shit if drugs can't explain the madness.
"We cannot see any of his other records - but maybe we can see his dental records?"
His dentist told him once he needed a crown. Apparently there was some misunderstanding.
Building 7. . . plus the other 6 that were nuked that day.
How about our Bushman in Blackface hold the Neocon war criminals accountable?
How about some accountability for Waco? Ruby Ridge? How about the half-million and counting Iraqi dead?
The District of Criminals knows no shame, or limits to their hypocrisy and crimes of war.
Freaking the Obama White House love to demand this and demand that, like does anyone even listen to them? How about blowing a kiss to Jay? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMDkO-QOji4
He should also explain why our intelligence agencies killed MLK and RFK. And did we ever account for the missing $2.3 trillion that Rumsfeld testified to the day before 911? I know all those records were destroyed during the 911 missile attack at the pentagon, but still, there there are other ways to recontruct these records and show what happened to the money.
This is just strange. They are digging way to deep to find someting to use. It's like breaking up with your girl and in the fight you start to bring up shit that happened years ago and aren't at all relevant to the current situation. America is again looking the fool.
It's all about signal to noise ratios. Gotta fill the air with noise, otherwise shit might manage to get real eventually.
Fucking children being led around by neocon babbysitters.
If I wasn't livin' it, I wouldn't believe it.
It's not America ... it's Obama who is the fool.
Yes and no. Obama is just the current idiot. But it's not like we can just replace him and then everything is ok again. A lot of these relationships that are being destroyed may never be the same again. They will at least take a very long time to mend. Multiple presidents if it can be done at all.
Yeah I forget that 47% of America is still hung up on his blackness.
"hung" up on his blackness...freudian slip
The fucking political system is FUBAR and anybody who votes is perpetuating the very system that enslaves them..... DON'T FUCKING VOTE,,,If voting had a positive impact for liberty and freedom it would deemed illegal...
The normalcy bias and consensus trance..
I forgot Fukushima will make all of this irrelevant!!!
If you vote, you are complicit in the crimes of government.
This was a double comment.
Actually, good for the US.
Ballsy move telling the largest economy in the world to go fuck itself over the Tinanmen Square massacre.
Timing is everything. It's not the fact that 25 years have passed. It's the fact that the dollars reserve currency is being replaced by Chinese and Russian deals and that's soley because the Federal Reserve is running a ponzi with WH approval.
but you don't think they are going to sit back and let it be replaced without a fight do you?
The more I watch current events unfold - the more respect I have for Frank Herbert. Guy friggen nailed it in so many ways.
I fucking LOVED Dune! WOLVERINES!!
Which part..you mean the part about the guy with a Jesus complex that likes to ride big brown worms?
I think you missed something.
"Hellstrom's Hive" -- Frank Herbert
Barak - How many civvy Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistani/Yemen wedding party people killed?
Pot....kettle....black...etc.
More empty blustering from the arrogant narcissistic illegal indonesian kenyan muslim sociopathic liar in chief one delta ten tango... this diatribe masquerades as a foreign policy???
Pretty fucking hard faced when you have bloomberg saying its their right to suppress free speech. Thats one cunt that needs a slow public death.
Show me a picture(s) of dead bodies in tiananmen then I'll call it a massacre if all they got is show moron protestors and kick up tents but no blood or bodies the I'll believe what wikileak say Tiananmen didn't happen but CIA will use it has propaganda.
The stupid out of DC keeps hitting all time highs.
for sure.....25 yrs ago Oblameo was sittin in a choom wagon.
You know that Moo Shu Pork you ordered last night?
Well, I have something to tell you.
Fuck you White House!

Obama, Nobel peace prize winning citizen of the world making frienemies everywhere he goes.
Yea right after you account for the Victims of your Drones.
How about accounting for the 100,000+ Iraqi children?
or the DU poisoning around the ME.
Sheesh.
Do they not have enough to do already, in DC? Have they not yet figured out that that they are no longer seen as much of a threat to anyone in any other countries?
It's all about facade maintanence. MSM keeps bleating about Obummer not being tough/engaged/statesman enough on the world stage.
So, they pull this out of their ass, so the sheeple have something new to fight over.
Another day, another fuckup. Obomber should take a golf vacation.
Yeah, if I were the Chinese, I'd respond with "How about an accounting of those fried at Waco.".......while raising a middle finger.
How about accounting for the bonds bought by Belgium or the gold in the vaults at the Federal Reserve?
The behavior of the DC Asylum may be a ruse to spook the rest of the world into thinking the USA is muy loco - on the theory no one will mess with them.
Occam says, however, that they really are crazy (or desperate).
Nobody fears a self-cutter.
Not after they saw the Erkle geek fucker riding his 10 speed.
What a pussy.
Careful, I heard Erkle was spotted curling 5 lb dumbbells in the hotel gym this morning right after he fell off the elliptical
We await the request that the White House account for all the dead and missing it is responsible for during the Vietnam war, and then lets add the conflicts in iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen and Pakistan for good measure...it should be a long, long press conference for Obama
He fuck what the "white" hose demands !!
idiots !
sorry for all you flag waving patriots but they lost credit with me a long time ago (since the time somewhere in 2001)
sorry for all you flag waving patriots but they lost credit with me a long time ago (since the time somewhere in 2001)
Flag waving and USA shouting that is (sorry for the doublepost)
... uh, it's not our flag or our country or the hard working US citizen taxpayers.... it's the corrupt elected ruling political elite and their arrogant, narcissistic, illegal alien sociopathic liar in chief ignoramus and its moronic vacuous ramblings masquerading as a foreigh policy..... gumming: ctrl-alt-de.
Sorry if I offended you
Fight Club means never saying you're sorry.
He corrected you.
Washington better shut the fuck up and account for 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine just to name a few. Or to take it to a domestic level, Waco, Ruby Ridge etc, etc just to name a few. Either way Washington can fuck off.
Now that Asia's allied with Russia good commies become bad commies.
When Iran had democratic government it wanted to nationalize Anglo-Persian petrolium company (better known as BP), that was bad, so CIA went in and replaced it with a good military dictatorship.
With Ukraine right sector fighting Russia, bad Nazi's are now good Nazi's.
Well, at least our dumb president is still our good'ole dumb president. No changes there.
Who ISN'T Barry pissing off these days???
This comment carries the mentality similar to that of child who is name-calling on a grade school playground.
POTUS my ass. More like DB-OTUS.
Translated: President Obama admires the ChiCom's handling of the unruly peasants and wants an true and accurate accounting of how is was handled so adroitly.
What in the Hell is wrong with Obama? 25 years ago and he is making a stink about it. Next thing you know it will be that 40 acres and a mule horsehit again.
Obama apparently is under the common mis-belief that a panda is a big cuddly raccoon and not the 350 pound member of the Ursidae family.
Pro-tip: you can only poke a panda in the eye so many times before it responds.
But, then, perhaps this is the plan.
When Mike Tyson was losing a boxing match and he bit that guy's ear off, it gave me the same impression as this.
How about a joint acceptance, and forthright appology from GB and the White House for the needless thousands killed by illegal wars and downright filthy drone strikes you cunts?
You evil bastards are beyond all reasonable persons imagined threats of terror.
You bastards are beyond insane. You are nothing more than dogs, rabid fucking criminal dogs.
You all, and I mean all, need put down.
I cannot, believe what these fucking monsters come out with.
Flabber, fucking ghasted.
Cunts, all of them.
Wow. You said the same thing a few hours ago and got junked up the wall.
Obama gets all butch (which I guess means he's pitching to Reg tonight) and starts shooting off his mouth and they give you all greens,
Fickle bunch, eh?
Anyway, you are just as dead balls on now as you were on the other thread.....
OBummer won't be president in what is it a couple of moths so he leaves a scorched America behind.
Somebody needs to stay away from the medical marijuana!
And the hypocite-of-all-hypocrites US government is going to given an accounting of all the hundreds of thousands (and probably over one million) of Iraqis and Afghans it murdered on false pretenses when? And now 160,000 murdered in Syria in a US-orchestrated and -supported war.
Assinine petulance.
The torture never stops.
after china accomodated mischelle and her mother, kids, and entourage, for a week of high profile visit this what they get in return?
You'd think the US has all the numbers, with all its spying capabilities.....
Barry is gonna get laughed out of China like Geithner was, if he ever goes there.
account as in incomings outgoings
does that mean china man has to compensate the jews?
do not mess with obarmy he tough he pumps iron near the ukrainia border
gettin ready for the hair pulling nail scratching putin fight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExQcrf80OSI#t=64
Well maybe the Chinese should compensate the jews for the Holohoax. Everyone else has. What did they do to stop it? The Maoists and Nationalists let themselves be manipulated by the japs to fight each other -when they could have united and marched straight to berlin to stop Hitler. I think that based on that alone, they should share in the blame.
One might ask the USA to account for 2 million Vietnamese? Or several hundred thousand Iraqi civilians? Hundreds of drone attack civilians? Now this is just a quick off the cuff list, we all know about Argentina's and Chile's disappeared thousands, gone in CIA coups, families still wait. Or Central America, CIA death squads, and god knows how many dead. Now the Right Sector is shooting up city streets with ground attack aircraft on direct orders from NATO.
China has plenty of guilt, plenty of it. But it smacks of a joke for Obama to demand accountability from anyone. It sells perfectly here in the USA, people buy into it and support Obama's freedom spreading. Even much of Europe believes it, but many others are catching on to how the game is played.
Ukraine is going down as the perfect example of do as I say, not as I do. In the last two days, 8,000 women and children have poured over the borders into Rostov-on-Don and Crimea, the stories they tell are not pretty, especially for Obama and his allied coup leaders in Kiev. Obama's orders to destroy the oppostion to Kiev's coup leaders is now driving people from their homes. Obama is innocent, this is Putin's fault. That is not selling quite as well as NATO thinks.
Obama, shut up. The world is sick of your hypocrasy. Go play golf or do something without beeing seen or heard and which isn't costing the tax payer millions.
Or maybe Obama should account for his drone murders.
"It was Yemen in December 2009 that a cruise missile launched from a nuclear submarine murdered 41 civilians in a small hamlet, 21 of them children and 12 were women."
http://www.globalresearch.ca/us-terrorism-from-the-skies-the-truth-behin...
If freedom were measured by how many citizens were kept jailed, it would be noted that the US imprisons many more of its citizens than does China, despite the great disparity in population size.
Typical pot calling the kettle black, probably zealousy as our puppet masters seem intent on taking their 'center of the world' over o Asia for the NWO startup... aka GPS-global police state... and it does seem that a return to feudalism is in the works, with or without Mother Nature's expected return in the spring. That said, compare our words with our actions, say in Syria' where I noticed 'Anthony' posted this today from http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/05/us-brookings-wants-to-bleed-sy...
Like I said earlier, with thousands of cameras clicking away from all angles, all over the place, each day, and no images of bodies or pavement-stainied snapshots, I'm not falling for this "massacre" hoax.
China pre-emptively responded to this demand via one of it's generals a couple of days ago. The rough translation is 'POTUS is a Limp D...'
America is really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel. The events of Tianamen Square are not forgotten or irrelevant but the motivations of the USA in raising them at this juncture are suspect to say the least.
Well said sir.
We fight in the name of tyranny by spreading democracy and terrorism to those who don't follow.
And freedom the fuck outta you, fo sho!
Fcuk U Obama. POS
I still want my fucking flying car.
I was promised that shit when I was a kid.
Demand?
hahahahaha.....
Regards? too... a quater-century @ 'Tiananmen Square' and 'whateverist`lessons learn'd!?!
