The Story Of Blind Chinese Dissident Chen Guangcheng Explained In Two Minutes
Confused by the latest flop in US foreign policy hyporicy (not to mention China's domestic) involving blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, whom America (usually so very strongly in favor of human rights, except when push comes to shove), sold down the river? Fear not, because here, courtesy of Taiwan based cartoon outfit NMA World Edition, is an abbreviated version for dummies and intellectuals alike, explaining everything one needs to know about this story in 135 seconds.

Taiwan looks like a nice place.
Well, when you start waterboarding and torturing others yourself, why would give a shit what somebody else does with them if you're not willing or able to go to war over it. Move on, nothing to see here. This is a simple case of not shitting where you sleep.
Are Taiwan residents allowed to own weapons?
That would explain why China has not tried to invade, just as Germany chose not to invade CH during WWII.
I am by all means pro gun ownership, but do you seriously believe Germany did not invade CH during WWII because the Swiss had a few guns ? Which they would most probably not even use because 65% of people there speak German and for obvious reasons must have been sympathetic to the German case?
I have spent 8 years in Taiwan and no, it is very hard to get a permit to own a gun there. And most people do not have a reason to, crime is virtually nonexistant (well I mean the violent type, there's quite a lot of 'white collar' crime though).
Germany didn't invade Switz because of the extreme delay in tanks capabilities. Now you just drop them in and fly them out. The time it would've taken to drive them in, drive them out (to steal much needed gold) would have screwed them.
Germany did not invade Switzerland because the Rothschild backers of the Nazi party kept their gold there for security purposes. Perhaps?
What?The time it would've taken to drive the tanks to Switzerland would have screwed them? So how did the said tanks ever get as far as Stalingrad then? Guess again.
Plains and mountains are different.
Dude, you dont need to cross any mountains. Look at the map. From Germany you just march right into Switzerland, singing. Just like to (similarly mountanous and similarly German-speaking) Austria in 1938. And just like in Austria, there would be hardly any resistance.
the reason why Germany did not invade CH during ww2 is definitely not military but ECONOMIC.
i am swiss and i am a patriot and proud of our direct democratic traditions. But there is no way that swiss army could stop german advance, germany had more soldiers, better trained and FAR BETTER equipped, ONLY choice for us was to go fighting on mountains. BUT tell me what you will eat when you will be surrounded after 1 year siege on a fucking mountain.
Germany had really others reasons to not invade CH
Not "a few" guns. Every adult male had at least one rifle, and was a certified marksman. The Swiss also could easily have sealed off the tunnels (with the Germans in them) in the event of an invasion.
There is a reason the Swiss have remained independent AND neutral for hundreds of years--the militia. Militias are TERRIBLE at invasion, but are practically impossible to conquer. At least, not without massive casualties to snipers (something which would continue for the full course of the occupation), and wholesale genocide. A guerilla army is hard enough to deal with, but a guerilla army consisting of half of the population of the occupied area?
lol you know nothing about switzerland involvement in ww2... so plz shut up
On another note, No American should ever think of taking refuge inside Chinese embassy in DC.
In 1956 during the Hungarian revolution Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty was given asylum at the US Embassy in Budapest for 15 years!
Taiwan may well be better - although China hovers over it like the sword of Damocles.
Here's the chart for world prison population - it gives one pause.
http://chartsbin.com/view/eqq
Sadly the US leads the world in having the most prisoners per capita (ie. putting the most people in small metal cages) than anywhere else. Oddly though, not one person from the squid is in prison...
Someday I hope to see the US as free country again as opposed to the over controlled, over-regulated, over-taxed, Fed dominated nightmare it has become (is becoming).
Unfortunately we may morph directly into a 'world government' where there will be no country to safely escape to or dissent from. I laugh at the the "Star Trek like" vision of a benign world organization - more truthfully it will be a vision of an enslaved planet that a Hitler, Stalin or Mao would just love!
It's funny that Star Trek understood a federation was the ideal government structure with planets but not countries.
The mind disease that most people have is that we can create a 'utopia' on this planet.
Human beings can't settle for good enough - it always has to be perfect. Hitler was an idealist. Mao was an idealist. Pol Pot was an idealist. And they tried to make perfect societies (in their vision of perfect).
It is quite obvious that idealism is what kills the most people, and makes for a living hell.
If we could just accept that we are flawed and that there will never be a perfect society we could have a semi-decent world. The founders of the U.S. were among the first to create a government with the understanding that humanity is fatally flawed, hence they built in checks and balances and sought to avoid a concentration of power. And they also understood most people should be left alone to pursue whatever the hell they they wanted to pursue.
People think these ideas are contradictions, when, in fact, they are paradoxes.
People want to look at and rule others because they do not want to look at and rule themselves. This is why the people in power are always caught being such hypocrites. A republic with true liberty starts when you accept that people are not going to always use their freedom to do things that you approve of.
Well said.
The LatinumBugs won after ahuge amount of fiat printing- collapse- federation
Yep, they sold him down the river big time. The last thing they wanted was China selling their hundreds of billions in treasury bonds and also other things.
Someone fire that typist!! Took up almost 10 seconds of said 135 seconds.
Heeheheheheh awesome
It is the height of irony for Chen to be defecting to the United States of Fascism. A victim of CCP thugs, but a tool nonetheless. And a willing one.
he can join us all in the re-education camps
http://info.publicintelligence.net/USArmy-InternmentResettlement.pdfGuess he figured that he'd be a king in the land of the knowingly blind.
I always thought Pandas where gentle friendly kung fu masters.
"In a sign that China was already ignoring American pleas to leave Chen's supporters alone, several activists reported that they were being confined at home and instructed not to talk to members of the media."
Who gives a shit?
The people who care about freedom.
On the side of the road, or otherwise?
One must specify when speaking of Chinese Citizenism citizens.
May also be in public park, even though in Shanghai it is against rulers:

Why am I not surprised the U.S. current administration let the Chicoms put the weenie to this refugee...Hilary the fuktard suckretary of Statist.
...doing GOD's work...GS-DickinDaMupets
You realise you've committed a criminal act of bullying as defined by the new CISPA?
The scary part is that these totalitarian legislations pass like a fart in the breeze...only mildly annoying but forgotten about in a few seconds, nobody even raises a question. I guess the asleep citizens (sheeple as it were) will be awakened when being forced into their very own FEMA camp. The illegals will just go back to their home country. ZH and other truth espousing websites like it must start paying more attention to such legislation if they desire to continue operating on Al Gore's internet...
BW
Was Chen in a wheelchair from a foot injury or a swif kick in the jewels from Hillary? Poor chap never saw it coming. He'll think twice before he protests eugenics in the future.
It's amazing to me that the US can espouse human rights internationally and yet suppress them so vehemently domestically.
Hypocricy much?
... and that is a comment against national security under CISPA.
True, but it won't be long before farting in a subway tunnel could be twisted into an act of terrorism.
On a side note, the ad for Obama 2012 with a picture of the first lady, next to the header of "are you in?' gives me the willies.
If it is the first lady saying, "are you in," it implies that President Obama is much like Chinese citizenism citizens in one respect.
Count on Uncle Sam to defend the Freedom and Liberty of others? Chen should have seen this coming.
Being anti-abortion sealed his fate. Had he been proclaiming the greatness of Margaret Sanger he would be in San Francisco today.
Nah, the Uncle's just being practical... What's the use of helping a blind Chinese? He'll end up on foodstamps anyways.
/endsarc
Count on Uncle Sam to defend the Freedom and Liberty of others individuals?
First Wang Lijun now Chen.
Dissidents in China need not apply...
So let me get this straight, Mexicans = GTFO. Chinese = Why won't America let the poor Asians in? He's in for a rude awakening when he gets here anyway, thinking the cities are paved with gold he's going to just be a problem for us once he joins OWS...
HAHAHA HEHEHE WHAT A FUCKED UP COUNTRY YOU HAVE BECOME
DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU WILL NEVER RECLAIM! WELL NUKE IT IS, NO OTHER WAY TO SAVE FACE EXCEPT TO BE ALONE. NOBODY WILL LIVE WITH YOU EVER AGAIJN
Huh....?
I think the jist of it is he don't like us...not sure tho...wants to nuke something maybe...
LMAO
MsCreant..... long time no see!
(perhaps it is best to keep a low profile... who knows?)
ALL YOUR ENGRISH ARE BELONG TO US!
Wish I could give a 10!!!!
We have been bringing laser guided democracy to numerous nations in the last few decades, so should anyone be surprised at how little we value human life?
Nope, everyone deludes (dictates for Goonies fans) themselves into believing that we are this superman nation.
I sure as hell hope they have fireworks, beer, and apple pie in the FEMA camps.
pods
'laser guided democracy' +1 humour
"laser guided democracy"
I applaud your descriptive skills, sir (or madam)
"Drone Diplomacy"
"Freedom" and "human rights" with American flag printed all over those drones in Pakistan tribal areas.
"I sure as hell hope they have fireworks, beer, and apple pie in the FEMA camps."
They do.
Obama could have done the right thing by protecting Chen AND simultaneously scored points with the American public by demonstrably protecting human rights. Instead, he caved to diplomatic (economic and financial) pressure. Obama displayed his weakness and lack of leadership, just as he did in Copenhagen.
Obama, your typical US citizen president who has been elected by US citizen middle class voters?
The guy who supported the war against Libya and the ethnical cleansing going with it?
Ummm, well, well, well, the trillion dollar question:is an ethnical cleansing a worse infringement on US citizen human right than a unionist being molested?
Hint: read below.
Behold Great Wall of Chinese Citizenism hypocrisy!
Chinese citizenism citizen dares to castigate spurious USA ethnical cleansing in Libya (which did not occur, although war was shameful), when Chinese totalitarian regime continues to ethnically cleanse and blob-up formerly free and independent Tibetans, who are now being exterminated and cast aside for Han Chinese colonization and environmental destruction of their former homeland.
Look at the wok calling the kettle black!
To bad he doesn't have any oil or gold - then he would have been liberated for sure.
Hey, that guide dog rescue, that is something. That is one the Chinese wont eat.
Good job, US citizens.
As to that story of human rights, well, remember, peeps, in US citizenism, human beings have unalienable rights but not everyone is born a human being. Some are congenitally sub human or non human. And have zero right by US citizenism.
And lightbulb above head of roadside-shitting, puppy-frying, environment-destroying, locked-sweatshop-laboring, totalitarian-worshiping Chinese Citizenism citizen begins to glow!
well... mate you just described what capitalism did in the last 400 years.....
AnAnonymous said:
Congenitally sub human or non human? In Chinese citizenism, that means being born female.
Or poor, or a different color, or a different nationality, or of a different subnationality (Tibetians, etc).
It is not "US citizens" that think some humans don't have rights, it is the corrupt leaders, the politicians and the media moguls who think that. But they don't think ANYONE has ANY rights. They just can't assault human rights within the borders of the US directly...oh wait, now they can, and have.
human rights is merely a policy tool of the usa to rattle sabers.....it has absolutely no principled committment to such an idea....both the usa and china are repressive totalitarian regimes....in fact the usa is world's largest and most dangerous terrorist states
You savaged the US and what happened? Did your internet account disappear, secret police break down your door and hustle you and your family away, was the news unreported or were you not allowed any visitors or lawyer? If you think the US is the world's most dangerous terroist state (Geez, talk about worn out phrases) at least you should have something to fear when ranting against it besides a yawn.
after this comment they are probably already on you :P :P :P
The problem is that Obama needs Chinese campaign funds. What is a billion to to Obama campaign when you have a trillion of those paper treasuries?
At least with the Obama campaign contributions from China they get something real, like Canadian oil sands, courtesy of the Kestone pipeline cancellation.
Never let it be said that Obama is not an entrepreneur. He would sell anyone for another lobster dinner, and the country for high priced dinner in New York with rich people who laugh at his jokes about clingers.
anyone with some intelligence can realize the Chinese LET him escape RIGHT BEFORE Hillary and Geithner's trip to Beijing for "high level" talks. it's was an absolutely brilliant move.
What's the old definition of the U.S.? Something like, "There's no better enemy, no worse friend"?
Obama lied and Chen Guangchen died.
Ha ha. Love it. Stupid GIT Chen forget that new sheriff in town is now the Panda.
I'm pretty sure this is another case of "good cop bad cop", but I can't figure out which one is supposed to be the good cop.
