The Iron Curtain Envelops Nepal

From Reliefweb:

 

Earlier this week, the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) singled out the Maoists for increasing violence against other parties in the run-up to the elections.  The head of UNMIN, Ian Martin told UN Radio that there has been a great deal of obstruction by the Maoists of the campaigns of other political parties:

 

“The Maoists themselves have suffered more killings of their cadres, but they have engaged in a pattern of preventing other parties from campaigning in what they regard as their base areas.  They have great difficulty in accepting that royalist parties also have a right to campaign and that’s lead to far too many instances of violence.”

And from the Times of India:

 

KATHMANDU: At least 300 Tibetans were rounded up on Monday as hundreds of Tibetan refugees staged demonstrations against China in the Nepalese capital at two different places including one near the United Nations office….CPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda has extended support to Chinese government’s suppression of the Tibetans saying that it is China’s duty to control separatist violence.

 

“We cannot term the Chinese government’s step to check violence unleashed by the separatists in Tibet as ‘crackdown,’”  he said.

 

Ah, I see.  In accord with China’s Propaganda Department, Nepal’s Maoist party chairman has adopted the Orwellian Newspeak redefinition of a crackdown as, well “not a crackdown.”

If it’s not a “crackdown”, then what the hell is it?

Anschluss: Reports of China’s Invasion of Nepal

As we’ve been blogging about repeatedly for the past two weeks or so, the Olympic Torch’s planned path up Mount Everest is a symbolic expansion of China’s borders, a public demonstration that Nepal is now China’s prison-bitch.

And now our friend the inestimable Tom in Hong Kong has come up with this bit about Chinese troops in Nepal.

What’s next?   Will China’s next move be to “peacefully liberate”  India?

 

Daffy Duck’s “Public Relations” Allegory for China’s Olympic Torch

0:32, Elmer Fudd (Tibet) fires at Daffy Duck (China) with live ammunition, for the first time in over 50 years.   

1:01, China determines to give Tibet “a severe dressing down”, because Tibet has (in Daffy Duck’s words) “desecrated the spirit of show business make-believe”.

1:13, China orders Tibet to “stick to the script”.   China does not want to lose face.

Finale:   China loses face.

Wile E Coyote on Mount Everest

After the 0:23 second mark of this little Wile E Coyote cartoon clip, you’ll see a perfect metaphor for the consequences of China’s determination to stick the Olympic Torch on top of Mount Everest.

Can they sue the “Acme” company that sold them the dynamite AND the glue at the same time?

 

Vichy Nepal Opens Its Loins, American “China Hands” Lubricate

 

Robert Brasillach (1909-1945) was a French journalist, “intellectual”, rabid antisemite, passionate admirer of German National Socialism (“socialism with German characteristics”), and a collaborator with the German occupiers of France. In 1945 he was put on trial and shot for treason.

Good.

Now, amidst all the mainstream media blather about the situation in Tibet and growing “protests” all over the world, hardly a word is being said about the condition that Nepal has become, in essence, a satellite state of the People’s Republic of China.
