[Buddha-l] Tibet uprisings: staged violence?

*Expletive deleted* journalists:
" Newspaper magnate Rupert Murdoch has called him: “A very political monk in
Gucci shoes.”

My announcement of a USA appearance photo shows HHDL wearing flip flops. 
Rupert Murdoch is part of the legions of Mara.
Also, HHDL is not :"attracted to" film stars--what an asinine way to put
it--they are significant contributors to his Save Tibet campaign. As he IS
political because he's both a spiritual and a temporal leader, he has to do
fund raising. Duh.

'Beijing orchestrating Tibet riots'

Canada Free Press[Friday, March 21, 2008 10:20] *Brit spies confirm Dalai
Lama's report of staged violence*

By Gordon Thomas

London, March 20 - Britain’s GCHQ, the government communications agency that
electronically monitors half the world from space, has confirmed the claim
by the Dalai Lama that agents of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the
PLA, posing as monks, triggered the riots that have left hundreds of
Tibetans dead or injured.

GCHQ analysts believe the decision was deliberately calculated by the
Beijing leadership to provide an excuse to stamp out the simmering unrest in
the region, which is already attracting unwelcome world attention in the
run-up to the Olympic Games this summer.

For weeks there has been growing resentment in Lhasa, Tibet’s capital,
against minor actions taken by the Chinese authorities.

Increasingly, monks have led acts of civil disobedience, demanding the right
to perform traditional incense burning rituals. With their demands go cries
for the return of the Dalai Lama, the 14th to hold the high spiritual
office.

Committed to teaching the tenets of his moral authority—peace and
compassion—the Dalai Lama was 14 when the PLA invaded Tibet in 1950 and he
was forced to flee to India from where he has run a relentless campaign
against the harshness of Chinese rule.

He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, the year of the Tiananmen Square
massacre.

But critics have objected to his attraction to film stars. Newspaper magnate
Rupert Murdoch has called him: “A very political monk in Gucci shoes.”

Discovering that his supporters inside Tibet and China would become even
more active in the months approaching the Olympic Games this summer, British
intelligence officers in Beijing learned the ruling regime would seek an
excuse to move and crush the present unrest.

That fear was publicly expressed by the Dalai Lama. GCHQ’s satellites,
geo-positioned in space, were tasked to closely monitor the situation.

The doughnut-shaped complex, near Cheltenham racecourse, is set in the
pleasant Cotswolds in the west of England. Seven thousand employees include
the best electronic experts and analysts in the world. Between them they
speak more than 150 languages. At their disposal are 10,000 computers, many
of which have been specially built for their work.

The images they downloaded from the satellites provided confirmation the
Chinese used agent provocateurs to start riots, which gave the PLA the
excuse to move on Lhasa to kill and wound over the past week.

What the Beijing regime had not expected was how the riots would spread, not
only across Tibet, but also to Sichuan, Quighai and Gansu provinces, turning
a large area of western China into a battle zone.

The Dalai Lama has called it “cultural genocide” and has offered to resign
as head of the protests against Chinese rule in order to bring peace. The
current unrest began on March 10, marking the anniversary of the 1959
Uprising against Chinese rule.

However, his followers are not listening to his “message of compassion.”
Many of them are young, unemployed and dispossessed and reject his
philosophy of non-violence, believing the only hope for change is the
radical action they are now carrying out.

For Beijing, the urgent need to find a solution to the uprising is one of
growing embarrassment. In two weeks time, the national celebrations for the
Olympic Games start with the traditional torch relay. The torch bearers are
scheduled to pass through Tibet. But the torch could find itself being
carried by runners past burning buildings and temples.

A sign of this urgency is that the Chinese prime minister has now said he is
prepared to hold talks with the Dalai Lama. Just before this announcement,
Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown declared he would meet the Dalai Lama,
who is to visit London next month. This is the first time either leader has
proposed to meet the Dalai Lama.
