Attila The Honey

The Chinese have named the famous torch relay, The Journey of Harmony. Doesn’t that sound like an old Mr. Rodgers rerun? I’m sure it does to His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama. Ask the Tibetan refugees about their Journey of Harmony. Personally I think the Chinese should have hired Dick Morris to come up with some snappy slogans and press relations in general. Dick loves to eat and the Chinese are famous for their insatiable taste for anything exotic that wiggles.

The 2008 Chinese Government’s plans to welcome the world – “Beijing welcomes you!” is just one of their sophomoric slogans which has suffered from pollution attacks. Obviously, since birth control took root in China, the Chinese Government isn’t overly concerned about how many of it’s citizens die from this nightmare. I guess they figure that even if 30% of the population dies – they’ll just pass a law ordering families to have two babies per year for a year or so – to make up for the deficit.

China not only is the world’s leading manufacturer but also the world’s leading viper in the bosom. One fourth of the country is desert and more than three-fourths of its forests have gone bye bye. Each year uncontrollable underground fires, either caused by lightening or mining accidents, consume 200 million tons of coal thus making China a major contributor to global warming. Lead, mercury, sulfur dioxide and other elements of coal-burning and car exhaust hovers over most Chinese cities. Every major river system flowing out of China is threatened with one sort of cataclysm or another.

Frankly – I think if the Chinese were really serious about their Journey of Harmony, they’d have given out gas masks and a 6 pack of Perrier to everyone attending the Olympics -

The Chinese government has told Olympic champion speed skater Joey Cheek to stay out! They have revoked the visa of this young American athlete – who donated his $40,000 metal winnings from the 2006 Olympics to Darfurian refugees in Chad. The Chinese have close ties with the Sudanese government who could stop the atrocities in Darfur.

But true to form on the eve of the August 8 opening ceremonies, the Chinese Government once again show their backside concerning good public relations by their attempts to censor press coverage concerning Tibet and all groups and individuals (Joey Cheek) who deal with human rights issues. I’m convinced that what the Chinese Government needs is a good national douche!

The irony is that the American media, who arrives in Beijing this week, will take them to the wood shed over Joey Cheek – thus distracting viewers from the beauty of this ancient culture and put a huge spotlight on the one thing this Government fears: humanitarian issues.

Joey Cheek isn’t a rabble rouser but simply a young American taking a stand for his beliefs. No doubt, he would have drawn no attention to these convictions but now the Chinese themselves – in their never ending stupidity where human rights and compassion are concerned – have allowed their narrow minded perspectives and self interest to steal the spotlight.
