Where do I park this empty vehicle,
asked a Tibetan monk
burning corpses
after an earthquake killed 2,686 people
in a remote village at 13,000 feet.
A child survivor ate cigarettes,
and paper napkins
drinking his urine to survive.
Life is found in a desperate situation.
Disaster gave the Chinese Party Propaganda
machine a glorious opportunity
to create a new Hero and promote being One People.
Greetings,
The fat happy alien American tourist is on his cell. Across the street is a river. The town is dead because Bangkok is a no-go zone. The red light district is red. What is red for you?
Thailand has been declared a disaster zone by various countries. They've issued travel advisories.
"DO NOT travel to Thailand." If any travelers come in now it's from Nam, by boat or bus. Swimmers are more rare than very expensive electricity. The river of tourists has dried up.
Mr. Shallow is talking. He shares state secrets.
"I can tell you a lot about my life." He lacks hard travel experience.
He's already called all his friends to talk about dental care in Asia. This is his BIG issue.
"I don't want to be walking around Bangkok full of pain killers."
Bangkok is filled with pain killers.
He needs an extraction. The more you drill the more you bill. Down the road.
"I have high blood pressure."
"I'm waiting for the place down the road to open up. They have amazing pork ribs."
He is suffering personified.
Meanwhile, if you are in China you are not reading this. My site is blocked in China. I used a proxy in the heart of Texas. It was blocked when I lived there teaching English to lazy students. They wanted to pass, not learn.
China is wonderful. Especially the government. They recently announced new measures to control freedom of speech. They have notified all telecom and internet service providers to give them data on users.
It's about government control over private communication. They are tightening the screws, fools.
Their BIG FEAR is losing control. The broad propaganda words are State Secret.
In a related move, the Chinese government on Monday posted on a government Web site a broad definition of what constituted a commercial secret, covering information related to strategic plans, management, mergers, equity trades, stock market listings, reserves, production, procurement and sales strategy, financing and finances, negotiations, joint venture investments and technology transfers. more...
The majority of Chinese use their cell phones to access the internet. It's cheaper than a desktop. They use the internet to:
"This is perfect," said a Chinese gremlin in Beijing. "The immature masses are like sheep."
"More like perpetually spoiled children," said another gremlin. "This is what happens after 30 years of a one child only policy. This planned genocide will come back and haunt us."
He's one of 50,000 internet Police spending their day surfing, looking for words or phrases like June 4, Tibet, freedom, democracy, Uighar, slavery, reform, literature, human rights, gulag, corruption, nepotism, bribery, unrest, strife, demonstrations, education, scandal, liberty, equality...and so on.

Greetings,
I work in the Chinese Propaganda Department. There are 14 ministries in the department.
Before the internet there was only one ministry, The Ministry of Truth.
We, the drudges, have ministries all over the place and it's a huge financial and time consuming operation. Growth causes all of us, and I'm talking about millions, stress, anxiety and proverbial FEAR.
I am authorized by Sir George Orwell to tell you about four ministries.
George is a good guy. He doesn't accept bribes, cash donations, cars, floral arrangements, luxury apartments on Hainan island with free golf membership and clean educational opportunities for his children at the finest schools money can buy so they will prosper and behave themselves in a harmonious society.
It comes down to controlling information. Ignorance is strength. We've made some mistakes but we're improving our quality control.
The Ministry of Filters, for example, purifies and validates search engines, links and tags to verify their adherence to the Party line. The Party line is a secure communication system in a Mongolian yurt. It is covered with a thin veneer of high grade ultrasonic vibration-free saran wrap. This prevents exposure to Echelon communication satellite interception. Echelon is a big vacuum cleaner in the sky.
The Ministry of Soup controls emergency eye scans of all Chinese people to determine their thoughts. Thoughts are precious and the Chinese people only have a few centimeters. Thought control is part of our culture.
The Ministry of Culture and Currency is vast. Their responsibility is to provide and maintain a network of fake useless paper currency to create the illusion of value. The currency is embedded with sensors to monitor any and all verbal and non-verbal communication before, during and after any and all exchanges. It is very effective.
A strong and important subdivision is The Ministry of Advertising. You can easily imagine how pervasive this subtle, subliminal and esoteric form of control is. It creates false needs, wants and desires among the sheep convincing them through thought control how insignificant and meaningless their worthless life is without more consumption behavior.
The ministry develops, maintains and reinforces, especially focusing on the poor lower classes how their lives will be enriched beyond belief if they struggle to raise their expectations. It's a circle game.
They used to walk. Then they wanted a Flying Pigeon bike. Then they wanted a radio. Then they wanted a refrigerator. Then they wanted a washing machine. Then they wanted a 46-inch plasma television with remote control. Then they wanted a car, house, vacation, free medical care, cheap food, books and incense to worship the dead.
The ministry controls all the people by a large remote device. This device is embedded into every Chinese citizen's cerebral cortex at birth. It is very effective.
Big Brother is watching. Thank you for your attention.
Metta.
Here's a link to an American Scholar article by Ha Jin on the Chinese Propaganda Department. Chilling. True. Self censorship creates and manifests fear inside the system.
He says, "Censorship not only chokes artistic talent but also weakens the Chinese populace, who are forced to be less imaginative and less inventive. The crisis in education has been a hot topic in China for years. Why are so many Chinese students good at taking tests but poor at analytical thinking?...Besides the commercialization of education, the absence of a free, tolerant environment has stunted the growth of students and teachers."
I made this exact argument in my novel, A Century Is Nothing, based on my experience teaching English for two years at a private Chinese business university in Fujian.
