The Olympic Torch was Conceived and Born as a Nazi Symbol

A handful of incisive words by Mary Beard in the Times:

Hardly any commentator stops to mention that this silly torch ceremony has nothing to do with the ancient Greeks, and was really invented to be a magnificent shot in Leni Riefenstahl’s movie (choreographed by Carl Diem). This is one of Hitler’s most pervasive legacies.

Yes, that’s right.  The Olympic Torch has nothing to do with Ancient Greece.

The Olympic Torch was conceived and born as a Nazi symbol, in accord with the Nazi Party’s habit of holding torchlight parades.

Now one must wonder, if any of the Western ‘public relations’ consultants in Beijing –by which I mean, those who were closely involved with the public relations of the Torch – ah, did any of those Western “public relations” consultants in Beijing, hesitate even for a moment to consider, or to research, the history of the Olympic Torch and its conception and birth as a Nazi propaganda tool?

China’s Olympic Torch Was Made By Nazi Money

China’s Olympic Torch belongs to Lenovo.

Lenovo is the successor of IBM.

IBM was instrumental in the Holocaust, and Auschwitz.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. IBM, in China, is now “Lenovo”, and as IBM participated in the gas chambers at Auschwitz, now today, IBM’s successor in China, “Lenovo”, the corporation to whom the Olympic Torch belongs, is, well, a continuation of the same corporation which made the Holocaust happen…..

…more to come soon. Watch this space, watch this blog, for more details about the collaboration between IBM/Lenovo, and the gas chambers of the Nazis, and “public relations” in China, and that GOD DAMNED Olympic Torch which has inflammed Tibet, now inflamming the entire world in the most unforgivably STUPID, UNTHINKING ways….

…more to come soon….

…but meanwhile, Catherine and I must ask, WHAT does Richard of TPD think about all this?   After all, he IS an American “public relations” consultant in Beijing, who is, by his own admission, involved in the public relations of the Beijing Olympics.   (And maybe the Olympic Torch too?    We’re just guessing, for now…)

Shakespeare was wrong. “Vanity, thy name is a PR MAN!”

Shakespeare was mistaken when he wrote, “Vanity, thy name is Woman.”

No. Vanity’s name is usually Man.   And although the currently available evidence is still sketchy, there are considerable reasons to conclude that it was Western “public relations” consultants, who either by comissions or ommission, were, and are, instrumental in the bloodshed going on in Tibet today, as a proximate consequence of the decision to take the Olympic Torch through Tibet and even to “mount” it upon Everest.

Now, can anyone determine WHO suggested that obviously stupid idea to the Chinese government? Who, who, WHO among Beijing’s Western “Public Relations” consultants were involved instrumentally in THE WORST PUBLIC RELATIONS DISASTER in China for the past twenty years? Who, WHO was the Western IDIOT “public relations consultant” in Beijing who either by commission or omission, played an instrumental role in bringing China’s Olympic Torch to Tibet and thus being a proximate cause of the current bloodbaths in Tibet, not to mention stupidly provoking a situation which now realistically poses to ruin the 2008 Olympics?

It’s Lenovo’s torch. Now, who are Lenovo’s “PR” agents in Beijing? The “public relations” company of “Ketchum” in Beijing SEEMS to be the band of idiots behind this PR disaster.

Public Relations, Infanticide, and Olympic Opium

Here is Goya’s painting of Saturn devouring his own son.

How well regulated is China’s embryonic stem-cell industry?    How transparent is it to the rest of the world, to ensure that the fetuses – or unborn children – who are victims of forced abortions (some would call it infanticide) or otherwise deliberately “harvested” fetuses are not involved?  What roles , if any, do Western public relations agents and their clients play in spinning the necessary propaganda to maintain business as usual (a “harmonious society”) during this Olympic year, regardless of whether there is any reliable transparency regarding the sources of Chinese stem cells?
