11月1日,撕毛像四青年之一的曹晓东被郑州经八路派出所警察带走,彻夜未归。另外两名青年也下落不明,引起民众的高度关注。
11月2日,曹晓东的朋友(新浪微博名为“V蓝无忧”)发消息说:“晚七时许,我和小东女友进入经三路派出所接人。我见到了小东,并提醒警察已到时间。警察说:‘知道,还有点事问。’我外出买点食物。十分钟左右返回,该警及门卫称小东与女友已走。但,包括我在内,无人能与他俩取得联系。”
据《网易》新闻介绍,程帅帅和曹小东是爱滋病志愿者,曾经筹资建爱滋公寓,为到郑州看病的爱滋病患者及其家属提供免费住宿。

民众“铁流老右”拨通郑州警察的电话,要求立即放人:“请大家关注郑州曹小东等四青年因撕毛头像被警察扣押,目前在派出所接受调查一事。看,文革血腥恐怖一幕在郑州重演了!刚才我给郑州警察刘队长去电话(18638188903),问曹犯了什么法?他不回答,叫我找派出所。我说,我就撕了上百张毛像,欢迎来调查!绝不准许文革复僻,绝不准许郑州警察重演文革闹剧。……我又给郑州刘警官去了电话,问他凭什么拘曹等四青年?他说他们依法办事?再问那条法?他答不出。我厉声指责他们破坏十八大,为薄熙来撑腰打气,必须立即放人,否则承担一切后果,现在网路上已沸腾了,我说一小时后再去电话。”

作家草军书表示,警方传讯四名撕像青年显示出权力的霸道蛮横。撕碎一张印刷品有什么罪?……。
邢建民律师表示:“郑州曹小东等四青年因撕毛头像被警察扣押,法律依据何在?曾几何时,家家必备的毛画像、毛语录、毛像章现在都到哪里去了?撕毁、烧掉、丢弃、当破烂儿卖了....如果这些行为都应处罚,那70年代以前出生的国人大概无人能幸免!包括正在参加斯巴达的当朝大佬!”

小说作者夏商也表示声援:“……在民主国家,撕毁乃至丑化政治人物头像根本不算什么。毛像印在人民币上,我们随身携带,每天都用,不代表喜欢这个人。这只是将政治人物物化,和将毛像印在卷筒纸上擦屁股没本质区别。”
民众“远征锋”痛骂道:“网传,郑州撕毛像者已有三人被拘留,另一人正在抓捕。你大爷,吓得老子尿都出来了。赶紧把钱包从屁股兜拿出来,撕个像就拘留,老子这还不得给枪毙呀!明天一定要找根红绳子,把个钱包系在头上!×,那个王八蛋设计的百元钞票,害得毛爷爷天天被人坐屁股底下!”

毛泽东被称为20世纪“三大屠夫”之一

大陆民众对前中共党魁毛泽东在执政期间,多次发起党内党外运动,数千万中国人在迫害中死于非命;1960年前后3年的大饥荒人祸,造成约4千万人死于饥饿,更发动文化大革命,毁灭性的破坏了中华传统文化的实物和精英深感痛恶。毛泽东的残暴独裁与希特勒和斯大林臭名相齐,而被称为20世纪“三大屠夫”之一。

中共党朝扩大利用孔学院在全球散布中国特色的专制理念 Chinese Regime Expanding Confucius Institutes around the World



中共党朝扩大利用孔学院在全球散布中国特色的专制理念
Chinese Regime Expanding Confucius Institutes around the World

With China’s rise on the world stage, interest in the Chinese language and culture has also spiked. The Chinese regime has seized the opportunity to expand its soft power. Since 2005, these schools have been rolling out around the world.
There are now around 400 Confucius Institutes in 108 countries. But this week, organizers of the institutes say they’ve hit a bottleneck: teacher shortage.
A former professor from Shandong University says that’s because the Confucius Institutes are not purely for education. Hanban, the state-backed organization that oversees the schools, has close ties with United Front Work Department. It’s a Communist Party branch that garners support for the Communist Party from external groups.
[Sun Wenguang, Retired Shandong University Professor]:
“They set up Confucius Institutes and promote Confucius to embellish the party's communist ideology. They’re not always welcome overseas. As for the teacher shortage, those with real talent, aren’t interested in teaching there.”
Confucius Institutes are set up with foreign universities and schools—usually with a handsome amount of investment.
[Jin Chu, Guangxi Author]:
“The Chinese government gives a lot of cash to international schools to allow them to set up Confucius Institutes. They're trying to export communist culture. It’s a part of the Party’s propaganda plan.”
That aspect has come under close scrutiny. In March this year, this report was submitted to the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It cautioned against the institutes’ political objectives.
Those suspicions were fueled by clips like this—videos part of the teaching material, teaching US kids the Communist regime’s version of the Korean War.
During the 7th conference of the Confucius Institutes this week, senior Communist official Liu Yandong said the regime would continue to support the expansion of these institutes.

中共党朝特色的现代纳粹主义 National Socialism with Chinese Characteristics



Meet He Di, the insider trying to save the Chinese Communist Party from itself.

BY JOHN GARNAUT |NOVEMBER 15, 2012


BEIJING — Two years ago, one of China's most successful investment bankers broke away from his meetings in Berlin to explore a special exhibit that had caught his eye: "Hitler and the Germans: Nation and Crime." In the basement of the German History Museum, He Di watched crowds uneasily coming to terms with how their ancestors had embraced the Nazi promise of "advancement, prosperity and the reinstatement of former national grandeur," as the curators wrote in their introduction to the exhibit. He, vice-chairman of investment banking at the Swiss firm UBS, found the exhibition so enthralling, and so disturbing for the parallels he saw with back home, that he spent three days absorbing everything on Nazi history that he could find.      

"I saw exactly how Hitler combined populism and nationalism to support Nazism," He told me in an interview in Beijing. "That's why the neighboring countries worry about China's situation. All these things we also worry about." On returning to China he sharpened the mission statement at the think tank he founded in 2007 and redoubled its ideological crusade.

He's Boyuan Foundation exists almost entirely under the radar, but is probably the most ambitious, radical, and consequential think tank in China. After helping bring the Chinese economy into the arena of global capital through his work at UBS, He now aspires to enable Chinese people to live in a world of what he and his ideological allies call "universal values": liberty, democracy, and free markets. While the foundation advises government institutions, including leaders at the banking and financial regulators, its core mission is to "achieve a societal consensus" around the universal values that it believes underpin a modern economic, political and social system.

"This is the transition from a traditional to a modern society," He says.

The challenge for Boyuan is that "universal values" clash with the ideology of the Communist Party, which holds itself above those values. "Boyuan is like the salons that initiated and incubated the governing ideas of the French revolution," says David Kelly, research director at a Beijing advisory group who has been mapping China's intellectual landscape. "They explicitly want to bring the liberal enlightenment to China."

The 65-year-old He is at the forefront of an ideological war that is playing out in the background of this week's epic leadership transition, where current Chinese President Hu Jintao officially yielded power to Xi Jinping. At one pole of this contest of ideas are He's universal values; at the other, the revolutionary ideology of the party's patriarch, Mao Zedong. This battle for China's future plays into the decade-long factional struggle between Hu and his recently resurgent predecessor, Jiang Zemin. Jiang's ideological disposition has evolved in chameleon fashion but in recent years he has hinted that if the party remains inflexibly beholdento Mao Zedong-era thought and Soviet-era institutions then it faces a risk of Soviet-style collapse.

When He Di stepped down as chairman of UBS China in 2008 -- after leading the investment banking capital raising charts for four straight years -- UBS gave him an office, a secretary, and a salary with no minimum work requirements. He continued to find UBS lucrative deals, capable princelings to hire (such as the son of former Vice Premier Li Ruihuan) and introductions to wealthy private banking clients. The Swiss bank also gave him $5 million to inject into Boyuan, just weeks before the 2008 global financial crisis, without any strings attached except the appointment of a UBS representative on his board, according to Boyuan representatives. He tipped in $1 million of his own as he redeployed his resources to build a platform for ideas. "One day I picked up the phone and called potential board members." he said. "I called 6 or 7 ministers or vice ministers, without any hesitation."

Boyuan's Beijing headquarters is an elegantly renovated courtyard home on the north side of the city. Behind He's desk is a wall of books on history, philosophy, and reform. Over a simple lunch of braised vegetables and endless cups of tea, he told me how his commitment to liberal values is rooted in a strand of Communist Party tradition that flourished in the 1980s and has since been subordinated but not entirely vanquished. "My grandfather and father were all fighting to establish not dictatorship, not feudalism, but so that people at the grassroots could enjoy a good life." He's grandfather was a vice-minister in the Kuomingtang government that ruled China until the Communists defeated it in 1949; he was beaten to death during the Cultural Revolution.

He's father was an influential agricultural minister in the reformist 1980s, a talented agricultural scientist respected for his integrity who helped guide China's peasants to shed the communal owning of land. This was China's moment of enlightenment, He says, where the revolutionary veterans respected the judgment of peasants and entrepreneurs alike to choose what to plant, what to make, and how to take it to market. The trick was simply to get out of the way. "At that time, the top leaders really understand the concept of so-called ‘universal values,' which means human rights and allowing the people freedom to choose what they want," says He. "They respected the abilities of the people, reflecting a universal value not necessarily coming from the West but based on human beings basic needs."

He had originally intended the Boyuan Foundation to be a retirement pursuit, a project of collective self-enlightenment with close childhood friends. His worries grew as he watched a fellow princeling, Bo Xilai, breathe new life into the spirit of Mao and whip up a popular frenzy in Chongqing, the inland mega-city Bo governed. As he watched Chinese citizens embrace modernity and the party-state slide back toward the revolutionary ideology of his childhood, his ambitions turned from supporting China's modern evolution to saving it.

When He returned to Beijing after his visit to Berlin in late 2010, he discovered that renowned scholars had been investigating those same parallels, even if they could not publicize their work. Shanghai historian Xu Jilin had traced China's leftward turn (leftists in China are the more conservative faction, who favor a more powerful state) to the 1999 U.S. bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia which grew into a "nationalist cyclone," a moment when China's rising pride, power, and the political phenomenon of Bo Xilai started to gain momentum. "Statist thinking is gaining ground in the mainstream ideology of officialdom, and may even be practiced on a large-scale in some regions of "singing Red songs and striking hard at crime," Xu said in a recent talk delivered to the Boyuan Foundation. "The history of Germany and Japan in the 1930s shows that if statism fulfils its potential, it will lead the entire nation into catastrophe."

Xu's antidote is right out of the Boyuan mission statement: "What a strong state needs most is democratic institutions, a sound constitution and the rule of law to prevent power from doing evil," says Xu.

He Di believes the overwhelming majority of Chinese people are on his side. "If you test how many Chinese people really want to return to Mao's period, to become North Korea, I don't believe it's 1 percent of them" he said.

He's adversaries -- many of whom call for a return to the ideals of a Maoist era -- are skeptical of private capital, appalled by rampant corruption, and antagonistic towards what they see as dangerous Western values. These adversaries, whose heroes include the fallen political star Bo Xilai and the politically wounded corruption-fighting general Liu Yuan, have a term for everything that He Di's Boyuan represents: "The Western Hostile Forces." Luckily, He has the chips to play in such a high-stakes game.

Besides his own princeling roots, which protect him from the state, He has the backing of his foundation's chairman Qin Xiao, who held a ministerial-level position as chairman of one of China's top state-owned financial conglomerates. Boyuan's directors include Brent Scowcroft, the former U.S. national security advisor. The Boyuan steering committee includes the publisher of the path-breaking investigative magazine Caijing, a son of one of the most important generals of the revolution (Chen Yi), and a group of officials who, between them, manage the largest accumulation of financial assets in the history of global capital.

He's childhood friends who have worked closely with Boyuan include the governor of the People's Bank of China, Zhou Xiaochuan, and Wang Qishan, the financial-system czar who is set to enter the Politburo Standing Committee, China's top decision making body, this week. They, along with several other princelings who have risen to the top of Chinese finance, became close friends, ironically, when they were red guards, fighting "capitalist roaders" in Mao's Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s.

Many of the protagonists at Boyuan have levers of the state at their disposal, and are organizing and challenging the party line in ways that would lead ordinary citizens to be branded as dissidents. Further in the organization's background, offering moral and practical support, are members of some of China's most powerful families -- including former security chief Qiao Shi, former premier Zhu Rongji, and former president Jiang Zemin.

He traces China's spiritual and policy drift to 2003, the year in which the team of then President Jiang and Premier Zhu entrusted the party and government apparatus to their successors Hu and Wen Jiabao. He says the administration moved away from "opening and reform" -- former leader Deng Xiaoping's policy of bringing China in line with the rest of the world -- and the resulting vacuum was filled with counterproductive criticism of privatization and reform. Leaders are isolated from their mid-level officials, each bureaucracy is siloed from the next, and there is no framework to mediate their interests or debate the wider merits of any particular proposal, he says. And once they started back down the old road of central planning, high-ranking officials grew addicted to the power it brought them. "The current leaders have really disappointed because I don't know what they believe," says He. "They were educated by the party, the old doctrines of Marxism, yet they lack growth experiences at the grassroots. They are really engineers who still want to enjoy the dividends from the previous generation leadership."

He believes in China's ability transform itself but knows it might not happen easily. He thinks Mao was an aberration who hurt his family's 100-year quest to bring China into modernity. Mao saw peasants and workers as an undifferentiated mass to be organized and mobilized, but not respected -- a man who represents China's past and used communism instead of Confucianism as his doctrine of control. "Mao called himself Qin Shihuang plus Stalin," He said, referring to China's first emperor. "He used revolution to repackage China's despotic tradition and crown himself emperor."

When Deng and his successors committed to the market they also committed to the values that underpinned it, He says, including the ideal of law. Hu, by contrast, eviscerated the integrity of the individual, and his administration's combination of extreme nationalism, extreme populism, and state capitalism means that history can repeat itself, He warns.

And that's why the Nazi exhibit scared him so.

Russian Article - American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper 俄刊撰文 - 奥巴马的当选将捣毁美国的资本主义自由民主制度


Russian Article - American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper 
俄刊撰文 - 奥巴马的当选将捣毁美国的资本主义自由民主制度
 
Russian Newspaper Article - A must read

The irony of this article appearing in the English edition of Pravda (Russian on-line newspaper) defies description. Why can a Russian newspaper print the following yet the American media can't/won't see it?

American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper   

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century,
especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First
,
the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonald burger or a Burger King burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then
their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses and their telekinesis and top protestant mesa preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America .

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama.
His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America 's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the FEMA Republic and at worst Zimbabwe .

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, losses, and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very
financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties, and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more than a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command
that GM's (General Motors) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self-given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago,
warned Obama and UK 's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, and so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "free man" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance, and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator
Barney Frank, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies
and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

 
The proud American will go down into his
slavery without a fight, beating his chest, and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

奥巴马连任-新的中世纪黑暗正在降临 Obama's Reelection - A New "Dark Ages" is Dawning

奥巴马连任-新的"中世纪黑暗"正在降临
Obama's Reelection - A New "Dark Ages" is Dawning



陈凯一语  Kai Chen's Words: 

When people use votes to put other's money into their own pockets, democracy is doomed. This is because such a "democracy without individual freedom" violates God's moral principles - “Thou shall not steal, lie, rob, hurt, kill...”

当人们用投票的方式将他人的所得放到自己的口袋里的时候,民主作为一种政体就彻底失败了。 因为这种“无自由的民主”违反了上苍的道德原则 - 你不可以偷、抢、骗、伤、害。


I am not worried about those who become rich and famous before they get into the White House (before they acquire power). I am always worried/suspicious about those who become rich and famous after they get into the White House (after they acquire power).
 
我并不担心那些在进入白宫获得权力之前就获得财富与名声的人。 但我总会警惕与怀疑那些进入白宫获得权力后致富成名的人。
 
Folks:

Brace yourself for a “New Dark Ages" and a perfect storm for decades to come.

Last night marked an irreversible downhill transformation Obama intended on America.  Mankind will indeed be thrust into a dark age with no end in sight.

Sometimes I truly wonder who finally has the last laugh in the Cold War. Our own moral confusion and corruption has led us to this point:  People worry and care about their pocket money more than their moral clarity. With no spokesman like Ronald Reagan to articulate American founding principles and freedom, the devil who entices the mankind with empty promises and free lunches has the upper hand for quite some time.

2012 is indeed a doomsday for mankind, not in a material sense, but in a spiritual sense. There may be a hundred years of dark days ahead of humans on earth, until a new Renaissance wakes up them.  I will be at Yorba Linda Country Club to give a speech for Pat Nixon Republican Women's Group, Thursday, 11/15, at 7:00 pm.  I hope you will be there.  May God bless this last bastion of human freedom - My beloved home America.

My best wishes to you and to us all.  Kai Chen

Bullseye Quote

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kai:

Well said. Corruption won last night. Like a drunk or drug addict who has to reach rock-bottom before they "see the light," so goes America. Unfortunately, for those of us who were awake-and-alert as to what the Democrat Party has become, we all as one nation are now going "down with the ship."

Not only did a dumbed-down electorate speak last night, but so did God. Today - begins America's second Chastisement - the first being in 2008 - where the "good will suffer with the bad."

Since Madelyn Murray O'Hare successfully threw God out-of-the-classroom in the 1960's, God has looked down on a population that doesn't allow Him in the public square, acknowledgment at sporting events, objections to saying the Pledge of Allegiance because God is mentioned which this President concurs, celebration of winter solstice over His birth, Christmas, the forced financial support of Abortion-on-demand and the future of mandatory Euthanasia for the elderly, chronically sick, disabled and mentally-challenged, etc.

God has silently answered back to His creation, and now we all will pay the price for our arrogance and dismissal of our Creator. Many of us have been on our knees for months praying that this election would turn our country back to God and seek His guidance, but He is too offended by our neglect so at this time, our prayers go unanswered. We must now endure the wind at our back pushing us ever more quickly over the abyss of what will begin a real "Hell on earth for the nation."

《自由中国》重返好莱坞 感动各界


记录片《自由中国:有勇气相信》(Free China:the Courage to Believe)11月4日参加好莱坞“真相电影节”(Awareness Film Festival)展映,获好评。图为谴责中共活摘器官国际联盟南加代表丘吉尔医生(右)和前中国男篮运动员陈凯。 (摄影:刘菲/大纪元)
【大纪元2012年11月06日讯】(大纪元记者刘菲洛杉矶报导)
 
已经是四项国际电影节赢家的记录片《自由中国:有勇气相信》(Free China:the Courage to Believe)11月4日再次来到好莱坞,参加“真相电影节”(Awareness Film Festival)展映,给各界观众留下深刻印象。
 
《自由中国》是由新唐人电视台和美国导演麦克‧波曼(Michael Perlman)联合制作的记录片,以美裔华商李祥春博士和前中共党员曾铮女士的亲身遭遇为经纬,交织出中国万千法轮功学员至今还在遭受迫害的血泪史。该片与中共当局狂砸银弹于纽约时代广场华丽宣传形成鲜明对比,特别是其揭露的中共活摘学员器官牟利等骇人听闻的罪恶,曾让普利策获奖诗人CK Williams看完影片后发出感叹:“我希望我所知道的不是真的。”

电影放映结束后,主办单位并邀请若干嘉宾上台发表评论兼回答观众问题。曾经因修炼法轮功被非法关押至劳教所的加州法轮功学员李斌向观众描述了在劳教所中被用电棍电击、强迫做奴工的悲惨经历。洛杉矶著名人权组织视觉艺术家协会会长刘雅雅表示,影片令她深受感动,特别是主人翁曾铮在揭露迫害的同时没有回避自己被强迫转化的经历,真实地向世界展现了中共对信仰人士的身心摧残。

陈凯:法轮功受迫害也是美国人的事

前中国国家男子篮球队队员陈凯在看完影片后评价说:“人在非常困难的状况下能够坚守自己的信仰,拷问自己的良心,这在整个中国大陆是很少见的。”

他希望每个人都能像法轮功学员一样为中国的自由做出个人的一份努力,“每个个体都是有能力的。你看他们(曾铮、李祥春)就自己写书或者站出来说话。”  陈凯对法轮功学员“不合作”的精神表示赞赏: “法轮功学员通过很和平的方式,‘我不跟你合作’,这就很好——我不会诉诸暴力,也不相信暴力。但是我可以用不合作的方式。在中国如果用不合作方式……(中共)不会(维持)太久。”

同时,他也表达了对美国作为自由世界领袖的失望情绪,“我不满意的也是:美国对中共的性质不理解。里根当政的时候,他每次到苏联访问首先要求会见异议份子,先跟异议份子谈话才跟苏联政府谈。现在我说中国没有戈尔巴乔夫,在美国也没有里根。所以共产党很多事情就可以得逞。因为没有一个人在美国作为道德领袖站出来。里根他就会讲——这是一个‘邪恶帝国’,他不管自己的下属告诫这样做会得罪别人。”

不过陈凯仍对美国充满希望,“我相信在美国一定要出现一个道德的巨人,像里根一样。” 正值美国总统大选和中共十八大即将召开的时刻,两个日子如此接近,陈凯分析道:“中共它为什么要定在11月8日(开十八大)。它也要观察美国对中国的态度,美国新总统当选以后它怎么呼应。因为中共是没有道德原则的……而美国有原则。美国独立宣言里讲个体有生命、自由和追求幸福的权利,这个道德理念不仅是美国内政的基点,也是美国外交政策的基点。每个人、包括法轮功,在中国受到迫害也是我们美国人的事,不可能不是。在这个基点上我们承担的是道德领导责任,因为在我们的独立宣言和宪法里面表达的不止是美国精神而且是人类的精神。”

在中国,体育是以中共强权为需要,为中共站台的工具,并不是每个个体追求真实的选择。所以中国体育运动是一种畸形发展。

亲爱的听众朋友, 您好!这里是希望之声国际广播电台的【时事访谈】节目, 我是静汝。

据悉,在伦敦举办的2012年奥运会中,对于中国所获得的金牌数不断引来人们的非议。一些相关人士认为,就算中国奥运金牌数远超西方各国,也不能算是一个体育大国,因为全民体育水准严重落后西方半个世纪。也有海外媒体报道指,当16岁的中国女游泳运动员叶诗文,成为奥运史上混合泳单届两项最年轻的金牌得主,特别是400米混合泳的最后一段50米的自由泳速度,超过男子的超常成绩时,使世界各国在惊讶的同时又对她产生了怀疑,有关服用禁药的疑云风暴的评论文章不断围绕着她进行,显然叶诗文所引发的强烈质疑大过赞赏。与此同时,很多中国网民更是声称对奥运没有兴趣,相反,国内目前此起彼伏的大规模民众抗暴却让网民十分关心。有评论者指,举国关注奥运已成为历史。本台记者就此采访了原中国国家篮球队队员陈凯先生。陈凯认为,在中国,体育是以中共强权为需要,为中共站台的工具,并不是每个个体追求真实的选择。所以中国体育运动是一种畸形发展。

下面就请听本台记者对陈凯的采访报道。

记者:陈先生, 您好!我最近看到网上有一组数字,说中国培养一个运动员所花的费用是其它国家的4到5倍还多。

陈凯:我首先用一个逻辑来思考,在中国那个体育制度也好,或者中国社会也好,没有什么东西是民间发起的,全部是政府发起的。前不久天才知道,有一个作者,他看到我的书以后采访我,他觉得最感兴趣的历史就是当时国家体委六十年代、七十年代的时候是什么样的状况,我的书里都有描述。象兵乓球这个运动其实确实你仔细想想共产党取得政权之前的时候,有没听说过中国谁打过兵乓球的。后来他发现发明兵乓球的这个人历史很有意思。这个人在英国的时候,他是个马克思主义者,是个极左派。为什么后来突然李富荣、张燮林、庄则栋这些人为什么到最后这么出名,这个人他第一次发现就是这个人把这个乒乓球告诉毛泽东,告诉周恩来以后,中国就开始自上而下在国家体委成立了这个项目。

开始成立这个项目以后,就开始组织比赛,很多少体校里就开始有这个项目,学校里开始有。因为这个运动本身不需要太多设备和场地,它不象足球,所以很快就在中国发展起来了。这并不是民间引进的,也不是民间发起的,这是政府发起的。所以,中国体育运动的畸形就是一切都是以政府为基准,由政府来决定,它的病态也都是由这块引起的。在这方面,我觉得这中间有很强的文化因素,因为中国没有各个概念的形成,就是每个个体没有创造性。在中国你有没有见到什么人有发明创造?没有这个状态。没有人去真正对自然界的规律发生兴趣。所以,中国你就发现,它的专制造成很多任何社会中正向的发生几乎是不可能的,因为任何东西都是从政府发起的,都是为了政治权力和利益,而不是真正为了…就像爱因斯坦发现自然界规律。这些东西都是由个体发起的,它们跟政府没有如何关系,是个体追求真实,个体相信真实,个体对真实的信仰,去发现上帝给这个世界所有的规律,这规律不是人创造的。不是说你有枪杆子顶你脑袋,你就一加一可以等于三了。一加一等于二不是人发明的,人发明不了这个东西,人只能去发现这个东西。由政府为基准的社会会产生相反的现象,它们认为人可以命令自然界,就象大跃进,一亩产一万斤,为什么不可以呢?但是自然界没有这个,自然界中有一个特殊的规律,作为人你只能去发现,只能去服从这个规律。人想发明规律的社会都是专制社会,人不能发明规律。共产主义专制社会、无神论的社会经常会有那些比较可笑的事情出现,又可悲的事情出现。

在中国,他们认为自己是上帝,自己可以发明些规律。比如,为什么我拿个苹果往天上一扔,就能往天上飞吗?它告诉你可以,有枪杆子你就可以命令这个苹果往天上飞。很多中国人也都相信这个东西。为什么你很少看到中国人追求真实的人,因为追求真实在中国没有意义。它既不能给你带来利益,也不能给你带来地位,都不能给你带来。那中国人集中精力追求什么东西呢? 能够在这个社会中取得某种地位,取得某种权力,这他认为,噢,这是他生活成功的一个标志。西方一个基督社会文明里面,从来没有说把权力作为一个人成功的基点,都是说只有真实才能实现自由。把真实,把自由,把信仰,把人的正义感这些东西作为人的基准。但这个基准直到今天在中国建立不起来。

记者:有海外媒体发表评论文章指,从中国运动员的表现看到了中国近乎残忍的训练体制,中共政府也以为体育的胜利能证明政权的正确与强大,

陈凯:到今天你可以看到在中国追求的都是钱和地位。他对自己的幸福视若罔闻,他漠视了,中国人不关心自己是不是幸福。从来没有人问过,说你这个人幸福还是不幸福,你高兴么?你生活中觉得满足么?中国人不问这个东西。中国人说,你汽车多大?你房子多大?你孩子上大学?有文凭没有?讲的是这些。这些东西并不是幸福的标准,你仔细看看,幸福的标准不是这个,幸福的标准是个体的满足感。但是个体满足感怎么来?你必须要有信仰,信念。相信有上帝,相信有真实,相信有爱。

其实,非常重要的一些普世价值,这个价值就是不管你肤色什么样,长什么样,个高个矮,有没有天才?…… 象美国独立宣言讲的,追求是生命、自由,这些东西不管你在世界任何角落里,这是永远不变的一个真实。这个真实不是你有枪杆子就可以把人性改变,让人不追究这个东西。

在中国为什么说民众开始拒绝这个东西,因为没有人信仰神,也不相信世上有什么普世价值,有什么客观真理,都不相信这个东西。人们认为真理是由枪杆子发明的。象毛泽东讲的:枪杆子里出政权,而且下面一句话是,有了政权就有一切,没有政权就丧失一切。从逻辑上来讲有了枪杆子就有了一切,没有枪杆子就丧失一切。你管共产党执政也好,到哪去也好,它追求的就是拿枪杆子顶着你脑袋说:一加一等于三,一加一等于五。所以为什么说在中国这个畸形的社会一切都是由强权来决定,也就是说不只是体育运动,比如乒乓球世界推广等这些东西,是由自上而下来决定的。连你的生育它就是来管你的,一胎制,告你你不能有第二个孩子,告你到时候你就的堕胎,就得绝育。就象畸形病态的社会。

记者:有海外媒体报道,16岁的女游泳运动员叶诗文目前已经成了世界泳坛的新星,但是她不仅聚集了全球对其是否服用兴奋剂的怀疑目光,而且中国先前的兴奋剂丑闻事件再度被挖出来。

陈凯:兴奋剂是临时的一个药物,使神经系统发生变化。激素是一个训练药物,激素就是女性自然肌肉对脂肪的比例。就比男人的要低,女人的肌肉自然就少,脂肪就多。但象中国的这样的体育运动,或者有些人想走些捷径,她会服用男性激素。这个就是中国现在的运动员她们经常会用的状态,像女子举重运动员啊,说话的声音都变了,说话像男人一样,这不是自然状态。一定是药用激素的状态,药用激素让整个生理都会产生变化。喉头会出来,声音会出来,你会长胡子,这不是由兴奋剂产生,这是激素,男性激素。

服用男性激素的话,你身体的脂肪和肌肉的比例都会产生变化。这个东西都不是自然状态下产生的,不是说你训练可以训练出来的。这是由身体激素的变化而产生的。所以有些女性服用这种东西,将来对自己的生育啊,自己的将来生活都会受到重大影响。但有很多人不管这些东西。因为在中国又缺少这些科学知识,政府又给洗脑,不管你这些。政府告诉你说没事没事,用吧。

很多人都认为这个危险是值得去做的,一生就这么一个机会。而且很多在中国尤其是女性运动员,因为中国女性是二、三等公民,堕胎的话首先堕的就是女性,所以发现胎儿是女性就坠胎,是男孩就要着。很多女人在中国作为运动员来说,她认为运动是提升她个体地位的几乎是唯一的途径。你要在农村里,女人就是做饭生孩子,你还能干什么?国家体委看中了你,看你身材不错,耐力也好或跑的快,他就把你挑上,专门培养你。就是在中国的有些女性巴不得有这种机会呢,还会管自己用药还是不用药呢?用激素还是不用激素?她们不考虑这个。所以在中国这种现象就会越来越普及,越来越普遍。不光用药,它这个是政府在系统给用药。究竟它怎么用药的档案如果共产党不倒就出不来,就像东德一样。东德大家都知道在用药,可你查不到。那什么时候查到呢,是东德共产政权倒台以后才查到的。所以这些东西我们都知道她们有违反规则或者这样走捷径的状态,用药取得成绩,为政府站台,我们都知道,但是你又没有证据,因为共产党没倒。等共产党倒了以后你才能拿出证据。

记者:您刚刚谈到中国的畸形体育是中共强权操控所造成的。那您曾经是中国国家篮球队队员,请您谈谈您是怎样摆脱政府的操控而追求真实?

陈凯:我非常幸运(Lucky),我也是非常奇特的一个人,就是说我从那个社会出来以后,作为一个体,没有被他们变形,没有被他们变成一个怪物,仍然就保持了我自己的逻辑,清醒的头脑。保持了自己对生命的热爱,对性格的追求,保持了这些东西,我仔细想想我写书也好,或者做活动也好等各方面,我就发现是一个非常神奇的故事,就是说从那个环境下出来的话,你居然就能以做一个自由人出来,说明什么问题?第一个你自己的自由幸福是可能的;第二个你要付出代价。决定去追求自由,追求幸福,追求真实的时候,代价是很重大的。那就是说你必须有勇气去追求这个东西,你必须脑子里有一种信念。

我当时在中国时我自己脑子里经常就有这种想法,就是我有可能是被诅咒的。因为没有人去追求真实,也没有人去追求幸福,也没有人去追求自由,为什么我要去追求这个东西呢?我每次去追求都受到强大的压力,给你处分,打击你,开批判会,每天干这个。但是如果我不去这样做,不去追求这些东西的时候,那我的生命有什么意义呢?我在中国时把这个看成是对我生命的诅咒,因为你要去追求这些东西的时候,你在中国就取得不了地位,你不光是取得不了地位,你对周围那些追求地位的人产生威胁。

我到美国来以后才发现,哦,我不属于那个地方。在这有这么多追求幸福,追求自由的人。有这么一个自由国度,有一个我觉得是家的地方。所以我就把这个结论转过来了,我是一个被上帝祝福的人,并不是被诅咒的人。今天我对幸福,对真实有了追求。我用我的故事告诉所有在中国的人,一切从个体开始,不用去抱怨生命,抱怨生活,就是从自己开始,慢慢建立自下而上的一个社会,也就是从个体到群体的社会。不要一个从上到下,从政府、群体到个体的社会,这都是假的社会。真正的正向的社会是一个自下而上的社会,也就是从每个人自己做起,每个人自己的操守,与神的沟通。这样的话才可能慢慢才能走向一个正向的轨道,正向的途径。

中国是对上帝的背叛和一个亵渎,整个社会的存在就是这个样子,把黑的说成白的,指鹿为马,这些事情在中国频频出现。坏就坏在什么地方呢? 坏就坏在它已经造成一种文化(党文化),就是让你接受现象。很通俗的话就是说,在中国它就认为不强奸,不卖淫你就不能生育。所以很多人就认为没共产党,中国不就乱了吗?不相信人们可以有爱,有尊严正义感的生活。这不是说可以用科学可证实的东西,这是一种信仰。信仰人可以自由。

比如在美国当时独立的时候,全世界没有一个国家不是王国的,怎么会产生一个社会它会相信可以自己治理自己呢?为什么在美国就可以做?而且做到了,美国就冒着这样的风险从专制的状态下解脱了出来,走向自由,而且相信我们可以自己治理自己。每一个个体都可以为自己的幸福,自己的自由,自己的健康作合理的决定,这就是美国的信念,也是美国自由女神所代表的、所体现的信念。

我们不需要政府告诉我们怎么做,我们只需要我们的良知,我们的理性,我们用不着政府来告诉我们什么是好什么是坏。什么是好,什么是坏,你只要心中有神的话,你自然就知道。可是在中国这个社会你就可以看出,形成政府是什么父母官啊,所有的民众成都成为一种幼儿状态,不能为自己的幸福作决定的状态。

听众朋友,今天的【时事访谈】节目就到这里,我是静汝,感谢您的收听,我们下次节目再见。

【新唐人2012年5月24日訊】

中共在世界許多國家開設「孔子學院」,但海內外學者質疑設立的目地,批評者認為,開設「孔子學院」會成為中共外交政策的宣傳工具。日前,美國國務院向附設「孔子學院」的各所大學發出通告,指出,在學院教授中文的教師違反了美國的簽證規定。外界認為,美國國務院對贊助大學就簽證規定發出通告是相當罕見的作法。前中國男籃國家隊隊員陳凱認為,中共利用「孔子學院」滲透「黨文化」的政治目地,已經引起了美國政府和民眾的關注。

美國國務院向附設「孔子學院」的各所大學發出通告,通告中說,學院內教授中文以及文化的教師是以J-1簽證入境。雖然「孔子學院」教師是以教授、教師以及研究學者的身份到美國,但是他們教授的對像是小學和初中的學生,違反了J-1簽證持有者不得在公私立高中、初中以及小學教書的規定。

「反共、反專制」的前中國男籃國家隊隊員陳凱表示,單一的從簽證技術方面看,中共是一個不遵守法律的專制體制。

陳凱:「因為中共它是不擇手段的,它並不遵守任何國家的法律,它也不遵守它自己國度裡的法律,它沒有法律的概念。」

陳凱認為,美國發出這樣的通告,說明美國政府和美國民眾對中共開設「孔子學院」背後的目地,已經引起了關注。

陳凱:「在美國用這種非法的手段,把老師帶到美國來,做政治方面的滲透,為中共物色將來為它們服務,為它們工作,或者傾向它們政策的人物。」

日內瓦「孔子學院」的院長巴塞爾•齊默爾曼曾經對外表示,有些地方的「孔子學院」起到了領事館的作用,可以看作中領館派駐當地的辦公室。

陳凱:「我知道中共它整個這個政治上,用孔子學院這種方式告訴世界上人們,只有貧富/只有強弱/只有内外/只有敌友,沒有對錯/没有是非/没有真假/没有正义与邪恶,只要我們有錢了,只要我們有強權了,只要有槍桿子了,就可以把邪惡散佈到全世界去。」


另外,美國國務院在通告中還說,美國的大學向來都有不同的語言與文化中心,例如德國的「哥特中心」、法國的「法語聯盟」等等,但是這些語言文化機構和「孔子學院」不同,都不是政府出資管理。

英國《國際先驅論壇報》曾經發表一篇文章評論中國(共)在世界開設「孔子學院」的影響,文章說,一些批評人士擔心中國在海外大辦「孔子學院」的慷慨做法可能會輸出中國的審查制度。文章以美國為例,說,中國(共)給「孔子學院」提供現成的資金,配備中文師資以及院長等。

大陸自由網路作家 荊楚:「由中共政府來出資,其實就是以納稅人的血汗,你看國內這麼多的人上不起學,看不起病,國內的人民生活痛苦不堪,生不如死,卻大貪納稅人之財去搞這一套東西,本身可以說它是反掠行為,反社會的行為。」

然而,中國(共)要求在「孔子學院」的授課中不能討論西藏精神領袖達賴喇嘛,也不能邀請達賴喇嘛到校園裡來。還有像西藏、台灣、中國軍力增長、中共領導人內部的派系鬥爭等都不能講。

荊楚:「(中共)就是想輸出黨文化,它就是搭車,是以推銷孔子作為名義,搭車來推銷共產黨文化。這個腐朽反動的黨文化,讓更多的人受到洗腦。」

美國在通告中要求,目前持有J-1簽證的這些「孔子學院」教師將可以繼續留在美國直到學年結束,但是接下來將不會同意延長簽證效期。他們必須返回中國,向美國駐華領館按照「合適的訪問目地」,另行申請其他類別的簽證。

陈凯转载/人民日报发怒:美国政治势力抹黑孔子学院
People's Daily is Angry over US Actions on Confucius Classrooms

【人民日报】 - 2012-05-23 - 浏览: 1905

  根据美国国务院5月17日发布的公告,目前在该国持有J—1签证的孔子学院中国教师将不得不于6月30日离境。美方称不会为他们续签签证;如果他们愿意,可回到中国再申办适当的交流项目签证。美国各界对此普遍感到震惊、困惑和不解。美国“高等教育新闻”网站21日载文称,这一指令将打乱孔子学院的教学活动。

  20日,中国国家汉办、孔子学院总部负责人致信开设了孔子学院的美国大学校长,指出中方尊重美国的法律法规,但不愿意看到因此而造成中断志愿者项目的后果,否则目前在美国蒸蒸日上的汉语课程将会因教师缺失而夭折,致使这些学校和学生蒙受损失。

  23日,孔子学院总...部负责人致信美国《高等教育纪事》杂志记者,对公告关于美国国务院审查孔子学院资格认证的表述表示了高度关切。“我很关注这一表述对于美国教育机构与汉办和中方高校合作举办孔子学院协议的影响。”

  单方“喊停”令人困惑
  美国国务院签署的这个公告,已发往全美孔子学院,声称尽管孔子学院可能有利于促进文化交流,但其所从事活动必须符合正确的交流规范、遵循相关法规。教授、研究学者、短期访问学者,或学院、大学的学生均不允许在公立和私立小学、中学进行教学,否则便与有关交流访问项目的法规相悖;只有在得到认证的中学以上机构内,才可安排中文课程;并且,持有J—1签证的教授只能在这些机构的外语院系内进行授课。

  J—1签证是一种非移民签证,签发给来美国参加美国国务院批准的“交流访问者计划”的各类外籍人士。本报记者了解到,今年年初,美国官方曾对持有J—1签证人员情况进行过调查。

  最令人费解之处是,美国官方要求对孔子学院进行所谓的“认证”。公告声称:“目前,国务院正在审查孔子学院的学术资质……孔子学院必须申请美国的认证,才能在其所在大学开展教学。”美方称,基于初步审查结果,“没有明确证据显示这些学院已获得美国的认证”;而之所以需要美国认证,是为了确保教育符合并保持相关既定标准。

  知情者告诉记者,孔子学院本身不计学分,不授学位。换言之,孔子学院不具认证的前提;而美国官方迄今也从未说明孔子学院应该向谁认证。横向比较一下,德国的歌德学院、法国的法语联盟等在美文化交流机构都毋须得到美国认证。美国第一家孔子学院——马里兰大学孔子学院及乔治·梅森大学孔子学院的负责人均对记者表示,他们对美国官方的这一新要求感到困惑,校方均在就“认证”一事进行讨论与沟通。


  政治势力不断抹黑
  公告规定显然是对孔子学院的发难,美国各地孔子学院均表示“令人吃惊”、“很不寻常”,并开始讨论如何应对。

  舆论指出,人们不明白美国国务院为何要突然出台这样的规定,“毕竟,孔子学院在美国校园内已有近10年时间”。正如国家汉办负责人所指出的,孔子学院的宗旨是帮助世界各国人民学习汉语,了解中华文化,加强中外教育、文化交流与合作,增进中外人民之间的友谊。

  美国的孔子学院是由美方自愿申请设立的,总部向孔子学院提供包括派遣志愿者在内的所有帮助,均系美方所要求。中方志愿者克服种种困难,积极热情服务,受到所在学校和家长的广泛欢迎。在合作举办孔子学院过程中,中美双方高校携手并肩,成绩斐然,为推动中美人文交流做出了重要贡献。

  孔子学院已在106个国家的350多个教育机构落户,中小学孔子课堂发展更快,现已达到500多个。自2004年底马里兰大学作为美国第一家高校与中国南开大学合作建立孔子学院以来,至今美国已有81所孔子学院和300多个中小学孔子课堂,其中127个为孔子学院下设的课堂。

  但是,美国社会确实存在一些政治势力,一直对孔子学院横加指责,不断抹黑孔子学院的教学活动。今年3月28日,美国国会外交事务监督与调查专门委员会就“中国公共外交代价”举行听证会时,国会众议员达纳·罗尔巴克尔就指责中国通过私营媒体和公共教育“进行宣传”。

  美国大众看重交流
  22日,弗吉尼亚大学教授杰马诺、博士生麦格拉斯和罗宾逊在接受记者采访时一致表示,学习汉语有助于增进美中两国人民的交流和理解,具有十分重要的意义。

  来自中国的韦薇老师在华盛顿约翰·伊顿小学教授一至五年级汉语课程。她告诉记者,学生家长都非常希望学校能继续提供汉语教育,学校其他教师也很配合汉语教学,因为他们意识到中国经济发展速度很快,汉语将会是十分有用的交流工具。

  韦薇的学生莉博蒂的母亲吕德斯夫人对记者说,在华盛顿地区,开设汉语课程的中小学校不多,她和丈夫很是费了一番功夫,才给女儿找到一所开设有汉语课程的小学。吕德斯夫人和其他一些家长纷纷表示,孩子们很喜欢汉语,韦薇老师教学水平也很高,希望她能在学校继续教下去。

  乔治·梅森大学孔子学院一位负责人表示,希望国务院出台的新规没有政治方面的考虑,毕竟美国总统奥巴马提议的向中国派遣留学生的“十万强计划”也鼓励美国学生学习汉语。

  孔子学院总部负责人指出,中美双方建立了“人文交流机制”,“十万强计划”就是其中一个重要内容。中国政府对此给予了大力支持。为了帮助计划的实施,汉办资助了其中1万名美国学校师生来华。而帮助招募这1万人的服务者,正是这些美国国务院要求6月30日离境的中国教师!

  本报记者了解到,美国有关大学的校长对于国务院签署的这个公告非常反感,认为这是在干涉学校的教学自主权,他们正与国务院联系并交涉。面对强烈的质疑,美国国务院官员23日将赴马里兰大学,与马里兰大学校方、孔子学院负责人进行面对面的沟通。

奥巴马 vs. 里根,社会主义 vs. 资本主义, 专制 vs. 自由 Obama vs. Reagan, Socialism vs. Free Market, Tyranny vs. Freedom


理念视频:Video Link on Ideologies and Values:

Obama vs. Reagan, Socialism vs. Free Market, Tyranny vs. Freedom
奥巴马 vs. 里根,社会主义 vs. 资本主义, 专制 vs. 自由

陈凯一语  Kai Chen's Words: 

Winston Churchill once put it succinctly:  "Capitalism is unequal distribution of wealth.  Socialism is equal distribution of poverty."  I would add:  "Communism is an utter deprivation of human freedom and dignity."  

丘吉尔曾简洁地指出资本主义与社会主义的区别: “资本主义是对财富的不平均分配。 社会主义是对贫困的平均分配。”  我在此添一句: “共产主义是对人的自由与尊严的绝对剥夺。” 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.            
Here is a model separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
 
--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".
--We'll practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you, and don’t forget Alec Baldwin, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga.
P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.
P.P.S.S. I know which side Idaho will be with.

American Universities Infected by Foreign Spies Detected by FBI
中国间谍充斥美国校园


Sunday, 08 Apr 2012 07:39 PM

Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon contacted the Central Intelligence Agency in late 2009 with an urgent question.

The school’s campus in Dubai needed a bailout and an unlikely savior had stepped forward: a Dubai-based company that offered to provide money and students.

Simon was tempted. She also worried that the company, which had investors from Iran and wanted to recruit students from there, might be a front for the Iranian government, she said. If so, an agreement could violate federal trade sanctions and invite enemy spies.

The CIA couldn’t confirm that the company wasn’t an arm of Iran’s government. Simon rejected the offer and shut down undergraduate programs in Dubai, at a loss of $3.7 million.

Hearkening back to Cold War anxieties, growing signs of spying on U.S. universities are alarming national security officials. As schools become more global in their locations and student populations, their culture of openness and international collaboration makes them increasingly vulnerable to theft of research conducted for the government and industry.

“We have intelligence and cases indicating that U.S. universities are indeed a target of foreign intelligence services,” Frank Figliuzzi, Federal Bureau of Investigation assistant director for counterintelligence, said in a February interview in the bureau’s Washington headquarters.

‘Academic Solicitation’

While overshadowed by espionage against corporations, efforts by foreign countries to penetrate universities have increased in the past five years, Figliuzzi said. The FBI and academia, which have often been at loggerheads, are working together to combat the threat, he said.

Attempts by countries in East Asia, including China, to obtain classified or proprietary information by “academic solicitation,” such as requests to review academic papers or study with professors, jumped eightfold in 2010 from a year earlier, according to a 2011 U.S. Defense Department report. Such approaches from the Middle East doubled, it said.

“Placing academics at U.S. research institutions under the guise of legitimate research offers access to developing U.S. technologies and cutting-edge research” in such areas as information systems, lasers, aeronautics and underwater robots, the report said.

World-Class Talent

Welcoming world-class talent to American universities helps the U.S. sustain global supremacy in science and technology, said University of Maryland President Wallace Loh. He chairs the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s academic advisory council, which held its first meeting March 20 and is expected to address such topics as federal tracking of international students.

Foreign countries “can never become competitive by stealing,” he said. “Once you exhaust that technology, you have to start developing the next generation.”

Foreigners on temporary visas made up 46 percent of science and engineering graduate students at Georgia Institute of Technology and Michigan State and 41 percent at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009, according to a federal survey. China sent 76,830 graduate students to U.S. universities in 2010-2011, more than any other country and up almost 16 percent from the prior year, according to the Institute of International Education in New York.

Finding Recruits

While most international students, researchers and professors come to the U.S. for legitimate reasons, universities are an “ideal place” for foreign intelligence services “to find recruits, propose and nurture ideas, learn and even steal research data, or place trainees,” according to a 2011 FBI report.

In one instance described in the report, the hosts of an international conference invited a U.S. researcher to submit a paper. When she gave her talk at the conference, they requested a copy, hooked a thumb drive to her laptop and downloaded every file. In another, an Asian graduate student arranged for researchers back home to visit an American university lab and take unauthorized photos of equipment so they could reconstruct it, the report said.

A foreign scientist’s military background or purpose isn’t always apparent. Accustomed to hosting visiting scholars, Professor Daniel J. Scheeres didn’t hesitate to grant a request several years ago by Yu Xiaohong to study with him at the University of Michigan. She expressed a “pretty general interest” in Scheeres’s work on topics such as movement of celestial bodies in space, he said in a telephone interview.

Unaware of Credentials

She cited an affiliation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a civilian organization, Scheeres said. The Beijing address Yu listed in the Michigan online directory is the same as the Academy of Equipment Command & Technology, where instructors train Chinese military cadets and officers. Scheeres said he wasn’t aware of that military connection, nor that Yu co-wrote a 2004 article on improving the precision of anti- satellite weapons.

Once Yu arrived, her questions made him uncomfortable, said Scheeres, who now teaches at the University of Colorado. As a result, he stopped accepting visiting scholars from China.

“It was pretty clear to me that the stuff she was interested in probably had some military satellite-orbit applications,” he said. “Once I saw that, I didn’t really tell her anything new, or anything that couldn’t be published. I didn’t engage that deeply with her.”

Wrote About NASA

Yu later wrote a paper on the implications for space warfare of the NASA Deep Impact mission, which sent a spacecraft to collide with a comet. She couldn’t be reached for comment.

American universities have also trained Chinese researchers who later committed corporate espionage. Hanjuan Jin, a former software engineer at Motorola Inc., was found guilty in February in federal court of stealing the Schaumburg, Illinois-based company’s trade secrets and acquitted of charges she did so to benefit China’s military. She is scheduled for sentencing in May and has also filed a motion for a new trial.

Jin joined the company, now known as Motorola Solutions Inc., after earning a master’s degree from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. While at Motorola, she received a second master’s, this time in computer science, from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. IIT’s own research wasn’t compromised, institute spokesman Evan Venie said in an e-mail. A Notre Dame spokesman declined to comment.

Study Abroad Targets

More Americans are heading overseas for schooling, becoming potential targets for intelligence services, Figliuzzi said. More than 270,000 Americans studied abroad for credit in 2009- 2010, up 4 percent from the year before. President Barack Obama has announced an initiative to send 100,000 American students to China, and China has committed 10,000 scholarships for them.

As a junior at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, Glenn Duffie Shriver studied at East China Normal University in Shanghai. After graduation, he fell in with Chinese agents, who paid him more than $70,000. At their request, he returned to the U.S. and applied for jobs in the State Department and the CIA. He was sentenced to four years in prison in January 2011 after pleading guilty to conspiring to provide national-defense information to intelligence officers of the People’s Republic of China.

“Study-abroad programs are an attractive target. Foreign security services find young, bright U.S. kids in science or politics, it’s worth winning them over,” Figliuzzi said.

Front Companies

Unlike its counterparts in other countries, which rely on their own operatives, China’s intelligence service deploys a freelance network including students, researchers and false- front companies, said David Major, president of the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies in Falls Church, Virginia and a former FBI official.

China has “lots of students who either are forced to or volunteer to collect information,” he said. “I’ve heard it said, ‘If it wanted to steal a beach, Russia would send a forklift. China would send a thousand people who would pick up a grain of sand at a time.’”

China also has more than 3,000 front companies in the U.S. “for the sole purpose of acquiring our technology,” former CIA officer S. Eugene Poteat, president of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers in McLean, Virginia, wrote in the fall/winter 2006-2007 edition of “Intelligencer: Journal of U.S. Intelligence Studies.”

U.S. and Canadian universities reaped $2.5 billion in 2011 from licensing technology, up from $222 million in 1991, according to the Association of University Technology Managers in Deerfield, Illinois.

‘Opened Some Eyes’

Universities “may not fully grasp exactly who they’re spinning off their inventions to,” Figliuzzi said. “The company could be a front for a foreign power, and often is. We share specific intelligence with university presidents, and we’ve opened some eyes.”

Michigan State’s Simon learned to be wary of front companies by serving on the National Security Higher Education Advisory Board, established by the FBI and CIA in 2005. It “makes you more aware that you need to look below the surface of some of these offers,” she said. “A short-term solution may turn into an institutional embarrassment.”

Arizona State University President Michael Crow also sits on the board. “It’s all a little perplexing and overwhelming,” he said. “We’re in the business of trying to recruit more students from China. We’re operating at a total openness mode, while we recognize there are people working beyond the rules to acquire information.”

The Chinese embassy in Washington and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing didn’t respond to e-mailed questions.

Enabling China

Over the years, American universities have enabled China “to leapfrog into the cutting edge of military capability on the way to superpower status,” Richard Fisher, senior fellow on Asian Military Affairs at the International Assessment and Strategy Center in Alexandria, Virginia, said in an e-mail.

Chen Dingchang, the head of a Chinese military-sponsored working group on anti-satellite technology, led a delegation in 1998 to the University of Florida to learn about diamond-coating manufacturing, used in missile seekers and other systems, said Mark Stokes, executive director of the Project 2049 Institute in Arlington, Virginia, which studies Chinese aerospace technology. In a 1999 report in a Chinese journal, the authors, including Chen, said the university’s cooperation would assist in overcoming a technical bottleneck in China’s development of anti-satellite warheads.

‘Unlikely to Advertise’

“A university may not know that a visiting engineer could be conducting sponsored research on a military program that could hurt Americans in the event of a conflict,” Stokes said. “An engineer supporting a People’s Liberation Army program is unlikely to advertise his or her purpose.”

The University of Florida is “unable to verify” the incident, spokesman Stephen Orlando said.

Chen is a technology adviser at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp., which didn’t respond to an interview request.

University administrators have traditionally viewed their role as safeguarding academic freedom and making sure that all students, domestic or foreign, are treated the same.

“I’ve been to campuses where deans would say to Chinese students, ‘The FBI is coming to talk to you. You have no responsibility to talk to them,’” Major said. “Very hostile environments.”

Some faculty members remain uneasy about a partnership with federal investigators. “The FBI thrives on a certain degree of paranoia, and it operates in secrecy,” said David Gibbs, a history professor at the University of Arizona. “The secrecy goes against so much of what universities are about, which is openness and transparency.”

Stanford University

Stanford University avoids seeking contracts for “export- controlled” research, which only Americans can work on without a license because it has implications for economic or national security.

“Stanford does not, nor will it, restrict participation of students on the basis of citizenship,” President John Hennessy testified at a January 2010, congressional hearing in Palo Alto, California. More than half of Stanford’s doctoral candidates in the physical sciences and engineering come from outside the U.S., he said.

Asked by Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican congressman from California, if he had read that Chinese military intelligence uses Chinese students, Hennessy said, “I am aware of that.”

“Universities need to think that they are patriotic Americans, too,” Rohrabacher responded.


Hennessy is on sabbatical and unavailable to comment, Lisa Lapin, a Stanford spokeswoman, said in an e-mail.

More Collaboration

After becoming Pennsylvania State University president in 1995, Graham Spanier sought closer collaboration with law enforcement. Reading that a president at another state university expressed shock that a faculty member was under investigation for terrorist ties, he resolved not to be similarly taken aback. He arranged a meeting with representatives of national security agencies including the FBI, CIA, Secret Service and Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

“This had never occurred before,” Spanier said in a phone interview. “Nobody from higher education had reached out.”

If they were making inquiries at Penn State, they should let him know, and he would help, Spanier told them. “That began a very fruitful collaboration,” he said.

Shifting priorities after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to terrorism and espionage from organized crime and kidnapping, the FBI expanded the Penn State model into a national board.

Handpicked Board

Spanier approached other university presidents, and 90 percent agreed to serve, he said. Michigan State’s Simon took over as chair after Spanier stepped down as Penn State president last November in the wake of a scandal over sex-abuse allegations against a former assistant football coach. Simon and the FBI and CIA have agreed to expand the board and start a subcommittee on cyber-hacking.

The FBI handpicks universities for the board, Figliuzzi said. It looks at how much research they conduct, as well as “sensitive cases -- where is there a potential problem? Then we make an invitation.”

Board members must have security clearances. FBI officials brief them about cases on their campuses, and the presidents in return guide federal investigators through the thickets of higher education.

Problem Solved

When a foreign entity compromised the computer system of a major university, the bureau contacted the school’s information- technology administrators, who denied that they had a security breach. The FBI consulted Spanier, who persuaded the university’s president to meet with the bureau.

“That opened the door to a higher level of cooperation,” he said. “The problem was solved.”

Similarly, the bureau warned Simon that research in behavioral science by a foreign graduate student at Michigan State “might breach the security of corporate America,” she said. “We were able to find a way for the student to complete his research and still modify it in a way that took away the national security issues.”

Beyond resolving such cases, the FBI has also alerted board members to the overall threat, most dramatically through a presentation by a former Russian spy. As a colonel in Russian intelligence and its deputy resident in New York from 1995 to 2000, Sergei Tretyakov set his sights on Columbia University and New York University, according to “Comrade J: The Untold Secrets of Russia’s Master Spy in America After the End of the Cold War” (2008), by Pete Earley.

Mingled With Professors

“We often targeted academics because their job was to share knowledge and information by teaching it to others, and this made them less guarded than, say, UN diplomats,” Earley quoted Tretyakov as saying. A typical task was to obtain information about “a study of genetically engineered food being done at New York University.”

At the board meeting, Tretyakov described to the presidents how Russian spies used to go to campus events and mingle with professors. “It certainly seemed very bold to me that they felt they could interact with faculty and students and attend seminars,” Spanier said. “We never really think about that happening on our campuses.”

In 2009, around the time Tretyakov was briefing the presidents, a Russian spy, Lidiya Guryeva, was pursuing a master’s degree in business at Columbia under the name Cynthia Murphy, the 2011 FBI report said. Russian intelligence instructed her to strengthen “ties w. classmates on daily basis incl. professors who can help in job search and who will have (or already have) access to secret info,” and to report on their potential “to be recruited by Service.”

Columbia and NYU declined to comment.

Tretyakov died in June 2010. That month, Guryeva was arrested for acting as an agent of a foreign power and deported to Russia.
