another btw, the 'fa lun da fa' (falun) folks in hk had kept up a series of street demonstrations and permanent vigils outside of government offices in hk, for about 2-3 years, up until i would say late last year, was ignored by the rest of the busy population, got bored, and disappeared
their leader resides in i believe new jersey, claims he can fly as well as speak to g_d, collects money, lives well
neat racket
and get to talk to congressional folks, who either ignore them or uses them to make a show on some other issue
another neat racket
all very theocratic and certainly fits the neocon agenda
after all, the neocons thought they would be taking on china, again, directly, after having failed in korea and vietnam, but was sidetracked by some arabic guy whom they had financed and trained earlier for another purpose
in hindsight, perhaps taking on china would have been easier, and funding such an exercise could have come from oil in the mesopotamia and its surrounding neighbors, as opposed to taking on mesopotamia, and covering the cost from china borrowing ;0) |
