RIO TINTO ADOPTS A FAWNING AND ARSE-LICKING ATTITUDE TO CHINA.

March 31st 2010 06:15

Now Rio Tinto has decided to run their fawning line in China we should all be awake to China's continuing bullying in negotiations.

Rio has declared their employee, Stern Hu, guilty of ill-prepared charges ( no witnesses for the complainant, China), heard in an illegal court. There was no media or public allowed into the court to hear the corruption charges. That makes it a closed illegal court. It's also a riff on the Russian Show Trials. We are showing you that we can conduct our justice without transparency.

And where was the individual who paid the bribes? Why wasn't he there to give evidence? Or are bribery techniques so sophisticated now that they only need the paid, not the provider.

Well it would have been expensive for China to bribe a witness to give evidence against Stern.

The trumped up charges show how farcical China is when attempting to deal justice, no, injustice. To have the guilty pleas after the defendants had been incarcerated for over a half a year without family visits, so the torture and the abuse of their human rights wouldn't be obvious, is more the style of Guantanamo Bay. But hey, the US under a new government, decided to have proper court cases.

TELL DENNIS HOPPER HE DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE JUST YET

March 27th 2010 05:40

Tell Dennis Hopper he doesn't have to dies just yet.

John Hopkins Medical Centre state 90% of prostate cancer is caused by diet.

To rectify that I followed their advice that flaxseed oil slows the growth of tumor cells
(see their latest prostate cancer bulletin) and kills them off more quickly.

Despie being diagnosed with advanced prostate stage 4 my PSA zoomed down from
197 to 3.6 in three months. I had a shot of Luprin as well. However six tablespoons of flaxseed oil beaten with two cups of cottage cheese and taken four times a day (half a cup four times a day) has kept my PSA even lower despite giving up Luprin. My memory is fine, as is bone density and libido.

Apart from Omega 3,6, and 9 the oil has (?) which inhibits the growth of blood vessels to tumors. I WAS DESTINED TO BE BURIED BEFORE LAST CHRISTMAS.

I'VE ATTEMPTED TO TRACK HOPPER'S E-MAIL - OR HIS AGENTS - AND WILL CONTINUE BUT if anyone knows it please refer him to flaxseed via John Hopkins prostate bulletin

Australia is becoming embedded in China's Psyche

March 24th 2010 07:36

Australia is becoming embedded in China's Psyche. We have accepted the Chinese show trial of the four Rio Tinto executives. Kevin Rudd said, China has their own legal system. This means we will leave them alone, despite their bullying and torturing of the Australian defendants. They murdered in Tibet and northern China and no one took asked them to explain. Our government has gone ahead and backed the Chinese government against a private company that was negotiating in China with accepted techniques. Everyone is bribed in China if you want something to occur. Why would Rio Tinto be bribed? And who gave the bribes? We're not going to find out with our acceptance of our citizens being tried in a closed court without media attendance.

This is a show trial because China is showing us it can persecute our citizens and that their flawed court is something we have to accept and like. It's a show trial in the sense of, "We will show you, we can do anything we wish."

Australia accepted the execution of fifty "felons" prior to the Olympic Games. They were actually dissidents. Australia accepted China's backing of the murderous Burma government and China'
s murdering of the Tibetan people which is verging on a slow genocide.

Now that Australian companies accept the scandalous court proceedings taking place in Shanghai its only a matter of time before our government will see the sense of obeying China in all matters to do with human rights. Think it's happened already because we can't do without the money earned from our raw material. We're shipping all our good stuff (including natural gas, to China. Who is our master?

CHINA'S SHOW TRIAL OF THE RIO TINTO EXECUTIVES IS ILLEGAL

March 22nd 2010 11:57

CHINA'S SHOW TRIAL OF THE RIO TINTO EXECUTIVES BEGAN TODAY. SUCH A TRIAL IN A CLOSED COURT IS ILLEGAL IN CHINA BUT SOURCES (ABC REPORTERS) SAY IT HAS BECOME COMMONPLACE.

THE FOUR ACCUSED HAVE BEEN IN DETENTION FOR NINE MONTHS AND ONLY RECENTLY WERE CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION.

THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TOTALLY REMISS IN NOT DEMANDING AN OPEN COURT. THE SCENARIO IS OBVIOUS. AS IN ANY SHOW TRIAL THE DEFENDANTS HAVE BEEN BULLIED, THEIR FAMILIES THREATENED AND IF THEY ENTER THE SPACE WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO BE TRIED AND REALISE THEY HAVE NO MEDIA, OR EVEN FRIENDS PRESENT, THEY WILL BE CONVINCED THEY HAVE TO GO WITH THE LINE THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES HAVE GIVEN THEM.

APPARENTLY, TOM CONNOR, AUSTRALIA'S CONSUL GENERAL, IMAGINED HIS WORDS WERE OF SOME INDEPENDENCE. HE SOUNDED LIKE THEY MIGHT BE UNTIL HE SAID STERN ADMITTED THE TRUTH OF SOME ALLEGATIONS. THE DUMB BASTARD IMAGINED THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WERE GOING TO SWALLOW SUCH GUFF.

THESE CHARGES AGAINST THE RIO TINTO EXECUTIVES CAME DOWN ONLY DAYS AFTER RIO TINTO REFUSED TO DO BUSINESS WITH CHINA. THIS IS THEIR ACT OF VENGEANCE.

Robert, China's spit is not the same as their urine

March 10th 2010 03:33

Robert Dessaix writes elegantly about everything except this millenium's major problem, politics.
He appears to take some pride in not being the sort of writer who is a threat to China.

Dessaix has been denied a visa to China on the grounds of HIV. This is appalling but if he had taken some interest in politics he would have discovered that China is the most brutal of countries (can anyone name another that murders dissenters with such regularity?).

How can this be, he onviously mused? "I am not a threat. I don't write on political issues. I feel I've been spat on."

Don't worry about it Robert I was urinated on in China by several Chinese security bureaucrats in a small room. I felt I was lucky not to have been under house arrest like journalist Anthony Grey. One of the security men who organised the ritual urination was head of China's "secret" secret service, and had supervised Grey's impounding

I'm really glad that Frank Moorhouse took his stand. He showed some guts and understanding.

If you wish to understand China, Australia and America and their chaotic relationships read Compulsively Murdering Mao by Bill Green (Amazon). It was first published as a novel to rave reviews but it's satirical reportage and all the events are true and real, no matter how bizarre they may appear.

In fact Robert shouldn't be so innocent about China, for on publication of the book he interviewed me on the ABC. And there is something of a problem about Australian writing. It is that our literary novelists avoid politics, perhaps because they have a weather eye on government grants. I know I was refused a second senior literary grant because I wouldn't entertain post modernism as a valid discipline for its rules barred it from being so.
