    Wow! Very powerful video. Especially since I know German and can attest to the translations.

    But try not to feel too singled out by this. Keep it in perspective and remember the global context. ALL people are biased to one degree or another towards their own self-interest. You should see the extreme bias American media has on Iraq, the Middle East, Israel/Palestine, North Korea, Sudan, Venezuela, Africa and anything Muslim. Likewise, India has extreme bias on Pakistan and Britain. Europe has bias on immigrants and Muslims and the Middle East has bias against the West. Russia also has bias against the West and vice versa. etc…etc…etc

    Also, many people have a tendency to lump distinct people together when they don’t know much about them. Thus, many Westerners tend to lump all Indians together when we’re a collection of many different peoples.

    So it may be possible that some media lumped Nepalese and Chinese together by mistake. To their eyes, the two are very hard to tell apart!

    I have a suggestion to help stop this. Western media is a business that needs image to satisfy the consumers. So if China were to allow ANY reporting inside its country on the issue, the problem would be solved. The only problem with allowing reporters unfettered access to China would be that the ways of the totalitarian state would be on view to the whole world. And the fake images you show above would be rather mild in comparison to the real brutality.

    @Jason, the riot mobs killing people and burning property, this is brutality. Police doing their job to stop them, in whatever necessary way, that’s not brutal.

    Nancy Pelosi Succeed To Write Her Name Into Olympic History, With Her HUGE Hypocrisy

    Author : Richard Branson

    On March 14, 2008

    Hundreds of people came out at Lhasa, Tibet. Suddenly, these people act brutally, throwing stones, set up fire on houses, stores, vehicles, and hitting people.

    These coordinated brutal attackers are demanding a free Tibet from China. Only in a couple of hours, Tibet is on fire. Rescue forces and policemen are unable to control these rioters.

    Less than 100 people or maybe more died before the security forces succeed to control the chaos. Among the victims are an 8 month-old-baby and 4 girls working as shopkeepers, who were burnt to death.

    On March 21, 2008 ( 07 DAYS LATER )

    Nancy Pelosi, a US House Speaker rush to meet the spiritual leader of Tibet, Dalai Lama, who was accused by China as the planner of the brutal attack. There, Pelosi gave Dalai Lama a moral support, and condemn China who used forces to control the situation.

    Then to provoke the world peaceful community, in front of a crowd of thousands Tibetans including monks and schoolchildren, Nancy Pelosi said “If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China’s oppression in Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world”.

    Most of media all over the world quickly quoted what she said, exactly the way she has planned. Many western media found that they have no other option than to bias the truth about the Tibet chaos, in order to make it suitable with Pelosi’s statement. Some of them even cut part of the image to mislead public, some used the real picture with mislead information, some even use videos taken from Nepal to mislead the truth.

    Several foreigners touring at Tibet when the chaos happened has turn out their voice about media bias, urging people to see the whole picture. But their voice has been turned down by many media, leaving only small room for them.

    Four US soldiers died by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, making the death toll 4000 since Iraq war. Meanwhile, a British agency estimated that about one million civilians has been died since the war. Mr. Bush quickly show up and offer condolences to the troops family. Nancy Pelosi didn’t even show up. She didn’t even speak out about human rights in Iraq. She doesn’t even send any condolences.

    People across the world, including those freedom loving people in America, who expects her to take her huge part to stop Iraq war, are very disappointed. She doesn’t even do something significant at the fifth anniversary of Iraq war at March 20, 2008.

    Many people are shocked with her HUGE hypocrisy, when they compare what Pelosi rush to do in Tibet chaos and Iraq war. Facing 4000 deaths on her own side and about one millions civilian death in Iraq, the human-right-police should said something like “If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against Iraq war, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world”.

    Nancy Pelosi has succeed to write her name in Olympic history, with her HUGE hypocrisy. Meanwhile, China will be recorded in the history who try to do the best to hold the Olympic Games. What makes difference is one get respect, the others don’t.

    The consequence of her statement had move many freedom loving people throughout the world to attack the Olympic. It started happening when Tibetan protesters disrupt Olympic Flame ceremony on March 25, at Olympia, Greece. Along the way, there will be many protesters who try to disrupt the Olympic, or hold a peaceful demonstration. But the world history will record that all of this peaceful attack can only be related to one person, Nancy Pelosi.

    Do the Chinese media as the victim has the courage to publish this article ? Do the western un-censored media has the courage to publish this article ? We will see in the few days.

    To conclude the whole article, I found the best quotation at a Hollywood film, starred by Bruce Willis, “Tears of the Sun”. Here is the quotation “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”.

    NOTE : PLS SPREAD THIS ARTICLE ACROSS THE GLOBE…(post it to mailing-list, blogs, emails, newspaper editors, bulletin boards, etc). It will help the American peaceful society to stop the Iraq War. It will help the world to realize that China is only the victim of Nancy Pelosi HUGE Hypocrisy. THANKS.

    Still guys, the problem remains; Tibetans seem to be unhappy in their own country. You may ask yourselves why.

    I can name some reasons, but it will be the best for all of us if you try to understand why the Tibetans, meanwhile a minority in their own region, are unhappy.

    I’d like to stress again that nobody in the western world thinks Tibet should be separated from the motherland. And it actually is the Dalai Lama made sure we have this right view in the West. On the internet you can find enough video’s where he reiterates this position. Yet I understand you in China cannot view all website, because of censorship.
