All Hail Our Great Friend China

We have softened our view of China since the bad old days of Mao Tse Tung, the Red Guards and the Great Leap Forward. Now we see it as just a kind of gigantic WalMart that produces all the cheap stuff that make our lives terrific.

So what was that woman yelling at China's President Hu on the South Lawn of the White House the other day ? Brace yourself.

She was protesting the alleged practice of the Chinese of harvesting human organs from Falun Gong prisoners and selling them on the international market. That's right. Cutting up live human beings for their valuable parts.

The story has been picked up by others like the Guardian and the Mercury News and many others. Cutting up live human beings for their valuable parts. It's kind of hard to think about.

It also appears that the Chinese are not confining their dubious activities to China. A Chinese techie working on software to breach the Great Firewall was beaten in his home and his two laptops stolen. In Atlanta. Georgia. U.S.A. By two Asian guys. F.B.I. not commenting on involvement of Chinese government.


Maybe that's what we're seeing here.

Hu: "I am a great admirer of your secret CIA torture centers."

Bush:" Thank you, but they are nothing compared to your Falun Gong murder and organ theft operation."

As Orwell observed, it's getting harder to tell the pigs from the humans, so please, stay human and


Stay Naked
