Shame on You!

My name is Li Bow Down and I am in charge of the Tibetan Monastery Re-Education Through Reform (TMRETR) program.

My masters called me out of retirement while I was playing mahjong and enjoying tea with my friends at the Shangri-La resort and told me to get my old ass back to Lhasa and take care of THE problem. Back to the future.

Here's an uncensored image of what we do to people in the TMRETR program. This woman is denouncing her family, friends and most importantly, herself in public. We are big on shame. "Shame on you!" yell the people.

"Shame! shame! shame!"

This is one of our more popular methods of creating a harmonious society. It works wonders, because if memory serves me correctly and it does, mind you, serve me well, we've been coercing people since the Middle Ages, or, to be precise, for the last 5,000 years. Pick your favorite dynasty.

We used to put them in wooden stocks with their crimes painted on paper necklaces and parade them through town.

They confessed. We call it self-criticism, re-education and reform. Big important buzz words.
They were denounced in public. Talk about blatant social disapproval!

Maybe you think I am joking, making this up. Well, I didn't make it to the top of the scrap heap by bowing down to the big nosed foreigners trying to tell me how to maintain control in Tibet and keep the monks and citizens in line.

As you know the monks in Tibet provoked the armed, young, naive, scared People's Reactionary Liberation soldiers on March 10th. The rest is history, well, not really history because we can and do rewrite that when it suits our propaganda purposes. It's so easy and convenient.

Peace.
