最具垮台的政府特性 A Government Destined for Failure


凡是在人类地球上,中外历史充分证明,一个基于暴力、谎言、剥削、压迫、垄断和贪婪的政府最具垮台的特性。与其公民存在着根本的利益冲突,无论有再多的警察、士兵和武器,务必灭亡!可以肯定,无节制地破坏环境、践踏人权、违背普世价值、诋毁宪法和扼杀社会进步只会带来长期的痛苦、死亡和灾难。

Solid Waste Adorns Beijing’s Grand Canal World Heritage Site

美离中国:大运河系列一

Solid Waste Adorns Beijing’s Grand Canal World Heritage Site 美离中国:大运河系列一

Here's an image I took of the pollution in the Grand Canal in Beijing after the devastating and fatal floods from July of 2012. According to various statistics, at least several dozen or so people died because of a faulty drainage system, although we will probably never know the true number of fatalities due to the government's pathological fear of the truth. One China Daily estimate put the figure at 77 deaths. A rule of thumb for gauging Communist Party statistics is to at least double or triple figures formally announced by the Chinese government that reveal any inadequacies or mistakes in governance.

As I understand it, the drainage system was donated and built by the Russians in the fifties, but was never even finished, nor has it ever been substantially upgraded or repaired since. Please feel to correct my information if you feel I have made any inaccurate statements.

A lot of this solid waste is still hanging on the side of the bridge over a year later! This is how the Chinese government treats a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its people’s human right to existence in the capital of China.

Although, it is only fair to add that both ordinary citizens and companies are actively contributing to the pollution of the waterways across China and there are signs forbidding dumping and fishing. Still, there is no visible attempt to curtail any of these so-called illegal activities, nor is there any systematic dredging or cleanup effort being undertaken that I’ve seen in 18 years of living in China. I do, however, genuinely pity the misguided fools who continue to fish for a toxic “free lunch”

Imagine how many jobs could be created for underprivileged and financially challenged citizens if a serious effort was made to at least clear out the solid waste from China’s river systems. Even if many toxic chemicals and heavy metals remained, it would still be a cosmetic coup for the formalist's school of leadership.

I was positive that they would undertake such a policy in preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games, as it is a no-brainer, but the government’s vow of a Green Olympics quickly turned brown. A clearer example of unconditional entitlement by a dictatorial regime could hardly be found.

Not exactly the “Chinese Dream” from the propaganda murals so wastefully and superfluously plastered across the city at the expense of the Chinese taxpayers!

On a positive note, the Pearl River along the Shatian District of Guangzhou is no longer as thick, chunky and dark as French Onion Soup, like it used to be back in the early nineties.

非人类的坚定 Inhuman Resolve



惧怕否定自己国家非人性政策和血腥独裁历史的人,绝不能成为改革的拥护者。回避历史责任的人缺乏勇气顺应人类走向政治进步的大趋势。既然尽力维持现状也无法逆转时间、阻拦社会进化。死心杜绝多元化的自然规律和常态确切无疑是徒劳的。始终折腾和挣扎去挽救一个饱受蔑视和恶评的烂摊子需要非人的坚定。

希特勒的小粉丝 Hitler’s Fanboy


明确表态支持前苏联,自动就认可帝国主义和专制制度,使自己变成希特勒以及其他毛骨悚然恶棍的小粉丝。 全面控制政治、文化和社会的消极世界观是不得人心和缺德;使得国家和人民的潜力大大地衰减。一个消极、排外、镇压公民和践踏宪法的党中国谈不上未来长久,何况有能力圆其独裁梦。
