Ogre’s Politics and Views

What if a Chinese rebel pulled off the biggest practical joke in history, and nobody got it?

In contrast to architect Paul Murdoch’s dirty trick (trying to plant a terrorist memorial mosque on the Flight 93 crash site), Zhang Yimou’s trick at the Beijing Olympics was moral, beautiful, and hilarious.

In case you missed it, the Beijing closing ceremony was an extended dramatization of the sexual act, ending with the fertilization of an egg.

Here is a still image of the final tableaux. After the circle of a thousand yellow-clad egg-girls has finally been penetrated by the couple hundred bouncing sperm-boys, the sperms rush to the center to form the nucleus of the fertilized egg, while the egg girls spread out to form the albumen:

I think this pretty much sums it up

Oh, but we’re supposed to rest easy because the IOC, who has already declared that there’s nothing to see, is investigating. Here’s a very accurate transcript of the IOC investigation:

IOC: Is she old enough?
China: Yes.
IOC: Did you cheat?
China: No.
IOC: Well, that’s good enough for us! You win, everyone else shut up.

That’s about it, although my transcript might have more questions than the IOC investigation. You see, the IOC is relying on Chinese government documents that were printed THIS YEAR. And they’re ignoring dozens of Chinese government documents that were printed in many previous years. In other words, the Chinese government says she’s old enough and is proving it by printing a document. We’re supposed to accept that because it’s a government document. And we’re supposed to ignore government documents printed by the same government each year for the past four years.

Hey IOC — everyone else on the planet now realizes that the Chinese openly and blatantly cheated. You and the Chinese government are the only two organizations that are attempting to promote that cheating. The only way that the IOC will retain any semblance of credibility as an impartial governing body is to completely void all medals the ineligible Chinese athletes won. They should also ban all Chinese competition in the Olympic gymnastics for the next four years.

Yeah, I’m not holding my breath. They just keep giving me more and more reasons to oppose the Olympics.

I know they’re claiming that they’re more “open.” I just don’t believe them.

Yeah, it’s not political, it’s about the sports. I’ll be watching lots of the coverage of the actual sports (no thanks to DirectTV because they’re incompetent idiots), but we’ll see how the score continues.

As many of my regular readers know, I’m a HUGE fan of amateur sports. I love the Olympics — when there are amateurs competing. I strongly support returning to the rule that says if you’re a professional in ANY sport, then you don’t belong in the Olympics.

I’ve also strongly opposed China hosting the Olympics. I know and understand the Chinese government. They exist to retain power over their people. They are a horrible, oppressive government that destroys anyone who dares to disagree with them. They are an avowed enemy of the United States. And Bush simply should not attend the opening ceremonies, as it gives a platform to the communists to garner even more world support.

I was open to the idea that having the games there might force the country to open up. It might be used as a platform to show the Chinese about freedom. And the Chinese government has been promising for years that they would open up for the Olympics. Of course, they lied. Sorry, but that’s what the Chinese and other evil governments do. ANY statement made by the Chinese government (or ANY government) simply cannot be trusted or taken at face value. The government will tell you what you need to know and do, and you are not to question them. Of course, more and more that’s exactly how the government in this country works, too, so I guess it makes sense to Bush to support them, doesn’t it?

And not surprisingly, the International Olympic Committee has absolutely no problem with the Chinese government censoring anything and everything they want DURING the Olympics.

So Bush met with some people who like freedom. These people also are working hard to ensure that the oppressive regime of China allows people freedom of religion. No, not freedom “from” religion or state-mandated religion like the ACLU and others in America want — but actual freedom to worship on their own. I know, it’s a radical concept. But maybe president Bush really will push for freedom in China when he visits.

Now I still don’t think he should attend the opening ceremonies. Claim it’s about sports all you like, but this IS a political move, whether anyone else wants to admit it or not.

What isn’t in the press release is that at the meeting, Bush received an Olympic prayer band. He also received the addresses of a few house churches that are in China, and he was invited to visit these churches when he is there. Now if Bush really wants to send a clear message to China that we actually like freedom, he could wear that bracelet when he meets Chinese government officials. Wouldn’t that be a powerful message?

The president of the International Olympic Committee (the one who dislikes protests but has no problem with murdering innocents) is making his stand clear: Athletes have complete and total freedom of speech — as long as you don’t say anything he personally disagrees with. More and more I have to say that the US should now completely boycott these games. They are designed to highlight the oppressive communist Chinese regime and Bush is openly supporting them. That’s really sad.

Freedom of expression is absolutely a human right but there are small limitations. We are a movement of 205 nations, many of whom are in conflict, and the Games are not the place to take political or religious stances

So you have a right, but you have to check with him before you dare to exercise that right. Because wearing a “Free Tibet” Tee shirt might be okay under some guidelines. In fact, it appears you can SAY “Free Tibet” as an answer to a question, but if you say “Free Tibet” without being asked a question, then you’ll be kicked out. I think. Because:

If athletes genuinely want to express their opinion, that’s fine.

Unless, of course, they say something “wrong.” My guess is that the athletes, for the most part, won’t say anything because they “might” get in trouble. What a total farce. What a joke. No, it’s NOT about the sport. It may have been once, but it’s not today. It’s completely and totally political. And again, the US, and the world, is showing it’s support for the Chinese Communists. Any bets on how long after the games that China waits before they militarily attack Taiwan? My guess is less than 30 days.

Very accurate. I understand why the US is participating, but it’s sad that money is more important than freedom and right.

The President of the IOC says that the Olympic games are in a crisis. Speaking purely as a huge fan of the Olympic games and the amateur competition, I have only one thing to say: “It serves you fools right.”

What did you think was going to happen when you awarded international games to a communist company that likes to use massive violence to shut up anyone who disagrees with them? Heck, nearly every report about this year’s Olympics starts with, “This year’s games were supposed to highlight China…” well, they ARE, only this time, the truth about the communist regime is what’s being highlighted. I guess China thought that since they control all the media inside their country (and most certainly will during the games, too, make no mistake about it); that they might control coverage outside their country, too. Heh. Wrongo. The truth IS getting out about how really, really bad the government of China is.

But hey, China is still trying to control the news. Does anyone actually believe they found some people with kidnap plans? I sure don’t. I think it’s an excuse to arrest and jail some people, maybe because they said the word “Jesus,” maybe because they said “Free Tibet.” Either way, the government of China cannot be believed or trusted. And just think — this is the type of government McCain, Clinton, and Obama all want to bring to the US.

Someone needs to slap International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge upside the head. He has serious problems with reality and the concept of acceptable morals. You see, in Mr. Rogge’s mind, protests are bad, and they make him sad. But when a country’s government shoots innocent people in cold blood, that doesn’t appear to bother him. Guess it’s not just America that’s screwed up mentally, is it?

Make no mistake about it: this year’s Olympic games in China ARE all about Chinese Communism. These games are designed to highlight and support the communist government. And protesters around the world know it.

I always thought that during the Olympic torch run that if the torch went out that the run had to start all over again. Well, the torch went out THREE times in France. Nice job, protesters.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, take a peek at the List of things that offend Muslims. It’s not a joke, it’s an actual serious list of things that actually offend Muslims. It very clearly illustrates that idea that trying to appease this religion, whose primary goal is to make the world submit, is not only impossible, but absolutely limitless. It seems that there is nothing you can do that DOESN’T offend a Muslim today. So submit or die. That’s their rules, not mine. Nice, huh?

Inspired by that list, I thought I’d start up another list. Feel free to help me decide what to call the list. Right now I’m thinking of calling it the “List of World Leaders With Guts.” So far, it’s a pretty darn short list. The following world leaders all believe that freedom is good and communism by force is bad:

Angela Merkel, German Chancellor
Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland
Václav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic
Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Germany’s Foreign Minister
Wolfgang Schäuble, Germany Interior Minister Responsible for Sport

Other world leaders who openly support communism as a viable alternative to freedom and free people:

George Bush, President United States of America
Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister

You see, those on the first list will not attend the opening ceremonies of the Olympic games in China (who is actively, opening killing any people who ask to be free), while those on the second list ARE attending and supporting China and it’s oppressive government.

Pelosi actually is supporting freedom. So is Gordon Brown. But not Bush? Tibet should be free. America should support any country that wants to be free — especially one who wants to be free from communism! And one that is being actively repressed by that communist government.

At the very least, the American government shouldn’t openly support the Chinese communists at the opening ceremonies of the Olympic games. Bush cannot claim it’s not political — it IS. And if Bush goes to those opening ceremonies, he is showing support for communism and against freedom.

Some statements that come out of the president’s office really have me wondering — are these people honestly stupid, or are they intentionally stupid?

Bush [is] going to the games for the sports and not for any political statement.

Hello? Would someone please tell Bush that he’s the president. Going to the games IS a political statement — and it’s a damn strong political statement, too. It very clearly says to the world that America thinks communism is just fine. It says to Tibet, “Sorry, we’re not going to help you. That whole freedom thing? Yeah, that’s not us. You need to talk to someone else because we’re just interested in cash, but thanks for calling.”

They’re going to see China. And for the games. Because China’s not necessarily bad. Seriously. Bush is sending the world a clear political message: communism isn’t so bad, and we don’t mind it at all — especially if we get some cash out of it. Bush is still going to the Olympics. And he’s making a strong, blatant approval of communists killing people in Tibet — even if he claims he’s not. Actions speak a lot stronger than words. Remember before when I said it would take strong guts to boycott? Yeah, that’s not happening, is it? Who’s surprised?

Now remember, I’m a HUGE fan of amateur sports. I absolutely LOVE the Olympics. I stay up late at night and get up early in the morning to watch these things when they’re in different time zones. I contribute regularly and in large amounts to help the US Olympic team. But it’s time to say enough is enough.

It’s done.

When an oppressive government is throwing thousands in re-education camps because they want freedom, we cannot support that government. Hundreds are being murdered for disagreeing with the government. And the government is openly saying they will destroy any who disagree with them. Heck, what have times come to when even FRANCE is starting to complain?

No, it’s time. Numerous times in the past centuries, repressive governments have held Olympic games to ensure the world would approve of their government and their actions. It’s time to stop. It’s time the US grew some gonads and stood up to these miserable governments. Instead, of course, the US will strongly support China and ALL it’s internal policies. Good luck, Tibet, with getting anything but words of support from the US.

To stand up and boycott the games would send a STRONG, strong message. It would show the world, once again, the power and might of the US. It would show that the US is more interested in freedom and right than in cash. But I’m not holding my breath. It would take guts to boycott and that’s not going to happen, is it? Money trumps right once again. It looks like France was right — the US isn’t the world leader in anything any more.
