Communists suspected of New York thuggery

On July 6, Tang Boqiao, the spokesman and vice-president of the Chinese Transitional Government, was assaulted at the Hollywood Karaoke Bar in Flushing, New York City.

Mr. Tang said he went there on a friend’s invitation. As soon as he arrived there, he was urged to leave immediately by a guest.There were two men with northern Chinese accents who began to push him as soon as he sat down. Tang decided to leave when he found that polite protests were ignored, however, he was punched in the face and the other man threw beer bottles at him as he tried to leave, fracturing Tang's hand.

As an ambulance took Tang to hospital, it was followed by a large white car, which disapperared when Tang reached hospital. Police are searching for this car.

Tang is convinced that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was behind the attack, and Mr. Wu Fang, President of the Chinese Transitional Government, fiercely condemned the CCP.

Tang said “I will not stop pursuing this matter”

Wu Fang stated: “This is the CCP`s doing. Recently Our Transitional Government has been active, expanding our organization, nominating several secretaries. By contrast, the CCP is now beset with difficulties and contradictions both in internal and external affairs. Meanwhile, we have spoken out Deng Yujiao, Shishou, and the protests in Urumuqi. We are a thorn in the CCP`S side.”

Wu Fang continued: “This is a replay of the Flushing incidents last year when CCP thugs attacked Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP tries to transform its internal contradictions to overseas countries. And it may be a sign that the CCP is beginning to disintegrate."

 Wu Fang said that a democracy such as the U.S. could not allow the CCP to export its repression.

CCP repression

Mr Tang, in an interview at his home where he was recovering from facial injuries and a fractured hand, put forward the reasons as to why the CCP would want to assault and try to intimidate him.
First is the Falun Gong and Quit Communist Party issue.
Virtually the entire world now knows, that Falun Gong is what the Chinese communists are  most afraid of, and Falun Gong is most severely persecuted by the CCP for 10 years now. The CCP is becoming more and more weak - many people are making public statements denouncing the CCP.

I and my colleagues in the Chinese Transitional Government support Falun Gong in their efforts on "put an end to persecution and disintegrate the CCP". The goal of the Chinese Transitional Government is to overthrow the Chinese Communist dictatorship; to establish a democratic society. Because only the overthrow of the Chinese Communist tyranny can solve all the problems in China.

Also, in recent days, the bloody massacre in Urumqi, Xinjiang by the CCP, with the communist media stirring up ethnic conflicts to divert attention from the CCP troubles throughout China.

I had publicly expressed that I am against the CCP persecuting Chinese Uyghurs and Chinese Han people; I call for Chinese people not to be fooled by the communists, I raised a valid point: "In today's Xinjiang, today's China, there is no difference between Uyghur and Han; only rulers and the ruled, the oppressor and the oppressed. All the killings and disasters in China have been created by the CCP.

We, the oppressed, shall stand together in order to prevent the atrocities committed by the CCP; in order to put an end to suffering and killings. This is where it hurts the Chinese communist party.

Nuclear reactor in use 1.8 billion years ago

In 1972, A French factory imported uranium ore from Gabon, and found surprisingly that the uranium had already been extracted!
Natural uranium contains 0.7202% of uranium-235, the fissionable isotope contained in nuclear fuel; but Uranium in Oklo. Gabon contains less then 0.3%.
So scientists around the world gathered in Gabon to explore this phenomenon. They have found that it is a highly technically designed underground nuclear reactor which is beyond the capabilities of our present scientific knowledge. This nuclear reactor came into being 1.8 billion years ago, and was operational for about 500 thousand years.

Scientists investigated the uranium mine and the results were made public at a conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The uranium indeed had been used. One may wonder what exactly happened at Oklo?

French scientists found traces of fission products and fuel wastes at various locations within the mine area. These observations were puzzling at first because it is not possible for natural uranium to go critical, except under very special circumstances such as the presence of graphite or heavy water as a moderator, neither of which could reasonably be expected to have been present in the vicinity of Oklo.

The half-life of U235 is 7.13E8 years, which is considerably shorter than the half-life of U238 at 4.51E9 years. Since the original formation of the earth, more of the U235 had decayed than the U238. This means that the natural uranium ore had a much higher uranium concentration many years ago than it does today. Indeed, it is easy to show that about 3 billion years ago the U235 concentration was in the neighborhood of 3 w%, sufficiently high to reach the critical point for a chain reaction to occur in ordinary water, which was present near Oklo at that time.

Surprisingly, this uranium mine's nuclear reactor was well designed. Studies indicate that this reactor was several miles in length. However, for such a huge nuclear reactor, the thermal impact to its environment was limited to 40 meters on all sides. Even more astonishing is the fact that the radioactive wastes have still not migrated outside the mine site. They are held in place by the surrounding geology.

Faced with these findings, scientists consider the mine to be a 'naturally occurring' nuclear reactor. The Oklo reactor has been documented for its importance as an analogue (a structural derivative of a parent compound) in the disposal of nuclear fuel wastes. But few people are bold enough to go one step further.

Advanced civilization?

Rene Noorbergen, in his book Secrets of the Lost Races, says:"Following the publication of Dr. Perrin's report by the French Academy of Sciences, however. questions concerning his conclusions were raised by many experts.

Glenn T. Seaborg, former head of the United States Atomic Energy Commission and Nobel prize winner for his work in the synthesis of heavy elements, pointed out that for uranium to "burn" in a reaction, conditions must be exactly right.

This water most be extremely pure. Even a few parts per million of any contaminant will "poison" the reaction, bringing it to a halt. The problem is that no water that pure exists naturally anywhere in the world!

A second objection to Dr. Perrin's report involved the uranium itself. Several specialists in reactor engineering remarked that at no time in the geologically estimated history of the Oklo deposits was the uranium ore rich enough in U 235 for a natural reaction to have taken place.

Even when the deposits supposedly were first formed, because of the slow rate of radioactive disintegration of U 235, the fissionable material would have constituted only 3 per cent of the deposits—far too low a level for a "bum," Yet a reaction did lake place. suggesting that the original uranium was far richer in U 235 than a natural formation could have been.

If nature was not responsible, then the reaction must have been produced artificially. Is it possible that the Oklo uranium is the residue from an antediluvian reactor that was destroyed by the Flood and redeposited in West Africa?"

As a matter of fact, many people today know that the reactor is a relic from a prehistoric civilization. It's probable that two billion years ago there was a fairly advanced civilization living at a place now called Oklo. This civilization was technologically superior to today's civilization. Compared to this huge 'natural' nuclear reactor, our current nuclear reactors are far less impressive.

Danger for freedom of expression in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) has released its 2009 annual report on freedom of expression in Hong Kong. The report this year focuses for the first time on an event outside Hong Kong - the passage in Macau of national security legislation.

This issue is vital for Hong Kong, because the move puts undoubted pressure on the Hong Kong government to follow suit - possibly before the chief executive, Donald Tsang, steps down in June 2012. Hong Kong has already - in 2003 - tried to enact such legislation, but strong opposition forced the administration to withdraw the bill. One of the biggest factors in this process was the half-million strong march on July 1st 2003.

Macau's legislation was passed with little debate, just four months after a public consultation document was published. The law contains offences which in some cases are extremely broad. If they were adopted in a Hong Kong national security law, they would pose a very serious threat to freedom of expression, including press freedom.

The HKJA argues in its report - called "Macau Takes The Lead" - that the Hong Kong government should resist pressure to enact national security legislation. And if such legislation is enacted it should contain robust safeguards. These should include relevant provisions of the Johannesburg Principles on National Security, Freedom of Expression and Access to Information, as well as proper public interest and prior publication defences.

The report also notes that little is being done to strengthen the protection of media freedoms. The government has failed to issue a consultation document on Radio Television Hong Kong's future, it has refused to heed calls for changes to the Telecommunications Ordinance to allow greater media diversity, and nothing has been done to enact a freedom of information law to give the public a statutory right to demand government information and documents.
A
bout the only area where the government has acted is on legislation governing indecency and obscenity. But the HKJA fears that the government may restrict freedoms in this area - in particular in dealing with internet publication. Indeed, any move to legislate on what the internet can and cannot publish may have repercussions that go far beyond the area of obscenity.

This move comes as there are growing indications of self-censorship in the media, in particular in areas that are sensitive to China. The 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre is one such area, with several organisations playing down the significance of the 20th anniversary of the massacre - despite a record turnout for a vigil to remember the victims. Indeed, participants in events marking the anniversary were critical of certain Hong Kong media organisations, which they accused of taking a line more akin to that of Beijing.

The five-chapter report focuses on the debate in Macau on national security legislation and its implications for Hong Kong; the radio debate in Hong Kong; the government's obscenity proposals; new China reporting rules; and the effect of the financial downturn on the media industry.

U.S. navy tracks North Korean ship

WASHINGTON/SEOUL—The United States is monitoring a North Korean ship for weapons and has deployed anti-missile assets to the Pacific in case Pyongyang launches more missiles, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
The U.S. Navy is monitoring a vessel called Kang Nam at sea under new U.N. sanctions that bar North Korea from exporting weapons, including missile parts and nuclear materials, they said.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the ship based in North Korea became "a subject of interest" after leaving a North Korean port on Wednesday.
They declined to say what the ship, now in international waters, might be carrying.
The Kang Nam is the first ship to be monitored under the U.N. sanctions adopted last week after Pyongyang raised tensions by test-firing missiles, restarting a plant to produce arms-grade plutonium and conducting a nuclear test.
Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, declined to discuss specifics at a briefing, but he stressed the U.N. resolution would allow the U.S. Navy to search a ship only with its flag country's consent.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Washington was also concerned about the possibility of North Korea firing off more missiles, possibly in the direction of Hawaii.

Shock ads warn of China-Australian deal

Ian Melrose, an Australian millionaire businessman, has aired advertisements on Australian television showing images of the bloody 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. His message was to warn the Rudd Government not to let China take control of Australian resources.

As a row broke out with the West Australian Government, Mr. Melrose said that governments had become too close to China and were ignoring its human rights abuses to get money and economic gains.

“All those brave and honorable politicians and businessmen who say you shouldn't mix human rights with politics, if they were next in line for the firing squad because they'd spoken up against the Chinese Government, or they were next to go into the torture room, having heard other people screaming, they'd change their position instantly,” he told the The Australian newspaper.

The issue at stake is the proposed increase in stake by the Chinese government-owned Chinalco in Rio Tinto, a world leader with interests in copper, gold, iron, coal, aluminum and other mineral resources. Mr. Melrose said that the ownership increase to 18 per cent by Chinalco was the last straw and he had to make a stand. The Foreign Investment Review Board is due to make a decision within weeks. Australian Premier Colin Barnett yesterday slammed the television advertisements and warned they could damage Australia's relationship with China, which is the nation's biggest export market.

Mr. Barnett said the Tiananmen Square massacre was a low point in modern China's history but it should be allowed to move forward as a modern economy.

“To try to tie links between that violation of student rights, and a proposal for Rio Tinto to develop a partnership with Chinalco, I think is just drawing a bow that doesn't exist. It will do it (our relationship) no good at all,” he said.

Mr. Melrose, who is spending more than $200,000 on the ads to air on television all week, said the public had to be warned. He felt that no amount of money was too much to spend.

“If they want to get into bed with a country that has a human rights record like China, kills hundreds of thousands of Tibetans, tens of thousands of Falun Gong and a couple of thousand in Tiananmen Square, if that doesn't set alarm bells ringing that you shouldn't give them control of our strategic resources, then they have no brains,'' he said.

Tibetans morns on anniversary Date

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1959 Tibetan rebellion against the Communist takeover of Tibet. According to a secret file from 1960, the Chinese army killed 15000 Tibetans in 3 days in 1959. Additionally from March 1959 to October 1960, 87000 Tibetans were "eliminated".
Usually the Chinese Communist government uses the military to tighten control over Tibetan areas weeks before this sensitive time, but in this 50th anniversary the atmosphere is much worse. A large number of troops have been sent there much earlier, and foreign travelers have been restricted from visiting Tibet a month earlier than usual.
The media in China has been filled with Communist party propaganda, accusing the Dalai Lama of trying to separate the country. The state television network, China International Television Corporation, showed special movie clips telling the Chinese people the Communist version of the history of Tibet.

While the Chinese government controlled mass media criminalizes the Dalai Lama, the sound of support for Tibetan freedom can be heard in almost every democratic country. Candlelight vigils have been held around the world for the Tibetans killed by the Chinese army last year.
Recognizing the plight of the Tibetan people on the 50th anniversary of the uprising against Chinese oppression and the exile of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling for a "sustained multilateral effort to bring about a durable and peaceful solution to the Tibet issue".
A few hundred exiled Tibetans gathered in Belgium, the headquarters of the European Union, urging them to put pressure on the Chinese regime to release jailed Tibetans, and to allow the European Union to send an investigative team into Tibet to uncover the truth regarding the 628 political prisoners and 1200 missing Tibetans.
In Hong Kong students and human rights activists held a commemoration in front of China’s correspondence office in Hong Kong. The students presented a letter to the office, but the security officer refused to accept the letter. The students left the letter in front of the office door.
Tibetans in Taiwan also held a candlelight vigil. According to the Tibetan information center, there are about 200 thousand Tibetan exiles that live outside of China.
