  Posted by Jeff from Truth Out

"This Government has at no time raised a question regarding either of these claims."

  Posted by Jeff from crosscut.com
  Lama-Palooza's man behind the curtain is a driven entrepreneur named Dan Kranzler, a Charles Foster Kane for children and early learning (better that than, say, politics or yellow journalism). Kranzler is a Bellevue-based wireless executive who founded Mforma, a mobile-entertainment company, in 2001.

What can I say about it? To criticise it? No. Fact is always simple. It’s man who has some kind of motive that make it complexed. As a chinese, I have experienced a lot for more than 20 years, and I do know something fo the the government’s operation. But as for Tibet, today I do not want talk of my opinion about. I know someone will say back to me that it si because I am a Chinese that to say good of my own county. However, it will be much better than to say evil of other countries without any effort to find what it is. I just want someone to try to get to China and Tibet to understand what has happened there. Just as I said, say after you have know the truth. Do not just fly the bubble from others’ mouth.
