This link is a must read in my opinion.

Also read this one on Mother Teresa for riveting truths surrounding the beatified "Saint".

This article is intended to provide a link to one of the most profound political analysts of our times (http://www.michaelparenti.org/) so as people who are shrouded by the deceit of an assumed former Tibetan paradisaical wonderland, may themselves be armed with reality and pursue personally liberating truth & justice in a legitimate direction.

Another liberating truth is that the "cold war" is past and needs to be long forgotten & forgiven for misinformed individuals with "anti-Maoist" indulgences.

As Parenti’s report highlights in principle; under Maoist/Communist led rule the Tibetans were more liberally and morally structured than under Lamism.

It has also been reported from other external sources by independent observers that Tibetans bound and encapsulated in unethical and immoral societal foundations welcomed the Communists with open arms when they drove the Lamist hierarchy from their posts. The unrighteous protagonists who supported the medieval structure of Lamism were the only ones who opposed the Maoist interventionist forces.

In the current era of sovereign benevolence that essentially “liberating” factor can be multiplied by one-hundred fold because the years of change have developed into Socialist led reforms in the modern era, under the guiding hand of Chinese men and women of vision who have changed not only life for Tibetans but also changed the face of the world in which we live.

Every nation progresses, regresses or digresses in varying measures to or from varying states of liberality throughout the course of history. Historically, Tibet was subject to invasions during various periods which causes digression but under self-rule it was perpetually regressing to a medieval style "dark ages" society. With a stranglehold of political, religious and capitalist spheres, (trilogism) the people under servitude had no recourse but to serve the unrighteous governors.

Regression or digression is perhaps the nature of the beast and the world in which we live during progressive developmental stages but when any nation, given liberty of autonomy, hopelessly enslaves regional citizens repressively and repeatedly, then surely it is morally correct to permit invasive measures to enforce restructuring in order to allow the progressive liberation of enslaved communities within those borders.

In any shift of power there are struggles and those in opposition who resist and mouth their views but when the dust settles and truth in actuality is revealed through progressive restructure, one can then and only then pass a judgement that can stand the test of time.

In this way, the Tibetans under Lamism have been led to a somewhat greater degree of liberty by the Chinese "interventionist" forces than the former degree under Lamistic dominators. History also has repetitively revealed that, if Tibet is left unmanaged by the territorial sovereign who grants such autonomy, it will regress to the former repressive state of medieval origins. Thus, liberating education in cultural practices and exposure to alternative style thinking is the key to a long lasting and benevolent result for the citizens.

It logically suggests then that the territorial sovereign who responsibly has liberated Tibetans be granted moral support by the international community to continue unabated in the education of new generations and assimilation of citizens into the national sphere of interdependence but at the same time the same said education should preserve cultural heritage for ethnic Tibetans, Chinese and cross-cultural multinational interests as well.

I propose that: "human rights" are the basis of ethical societal moraise for the liberalised freedom of the masses.

The aforementioned "moraise" has to be founded on truth that is personally liberating, nationally fundamental and internationally and conceptually deemed acceptable, to a greater or somewhat lesser but balanced degree; rather than on the basis of unethically encapsulating shrouds of darkness, lies, deceit and imbalanced immoral profundity - in reference to the worldly portrayal of "Lamism" as a formerly balanced & liberated model society in Tibet.

How can the blind lead the blind?

Unless leadership is truly gifted with socially and morally enlightened liberators, it can't effectively lead the masses from the "wilderness" to a "promised land" or to the assumed & theocrasized, yet mythical - Tibetan "Shangri-La". Certainly Lamism failed, by way of dereliction of acceptable structure to allow the peaceful liberation of the citizens who were subjected under their dominion.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia—a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan. The word also evokes the imagery of exoticism of the Orient. The story of Shangri-La is based on the concept of Shambhala, a mystical city in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Figuratively and metaphorically speaking:

Shangri-la is often used in a similar context to which "Garden of Eden" might be used, to represent a perfect paradise that exists hidden from modern man. It can sometimes be used as an analogy for a life-long quest or something elusive that is much sought. It also might be used to represent perfection that is sought by man in the form of love, happiness, or Utopian ideals. It may be used in this context alongside other mythical and famous examples of somewhat similar metaphors such as The Holy Grail, El Dorado or The Fountain of Youth.

Perhaps it is worth considering that the Dalai Lama may have been falsely deified as a "liberator" for humankind and the "way" in Tibet and beyond for international purposes other than the liberation of Tibetans. He was one of a long-line of potentially repressive Lamas and would have doubtlessly changed anything the repressive societal structure under Lamas. In reality he has been misrepresented to the western masses and backed by internationalized media propaganda "machines" that sought only to discredit the PRC of reserving their sovereignty over the region.

It is highly likely, that the accusers who drove the Dalai Lama led deception over proposed "human rights" issues were the same conglomerate powerhouses, who by reason of their lust for power and capitalistic gains, had logistically targeted Tibetan territories to expand their own empirical growth. The real issue then was not the "rights of Tibetans" but the attempted grab of some of the regions astounding reserves of natural resources and possibly other objectives as well.

The potential for development in the area reveals how much the territorial sovereign can gain from responsible and sustainable development of mineral wealth & hydroelectric resources in the area. It is illogical to think that the Chinese would not invite multinational J.V. investment into responsible management of Tibet so the selfsame multinational media interests have perhaps lay to rest the whole issue at the G20 Summit.

In addition to that, the Dalai Lama was also hijacked as a liberal speaker of "mystical light" to masses of spiritually inept and blinded western "truth seekers." Predominantly, these are the "New Age" proponents and Roman Catholic religious congregations who embrace "New Age" concepts in communities around the world. This is perhaps linked to the other objective mentioned but will not be expounded in this commentary.

Where are the moral foundations of Lamism, whereby any Lama led restructuring can be truly hailed as essentially liberating for Tibet or any international community abroad when all the past or present facts are on the table that reveal a lineage of Lama's, who by virtue of illogical reasoning, caused the repetitive suffering and death of Tibetan subjects throughout history. The same judgement can possibly be passed on many a trilogistic stranglehold on political, social/religious and capitalist regime throughout the current or historical era.

I am not proposing that all Catholics support the Dalai Lama or proposing that any "New Age" concepts are essentially liberating either.

It perhaps remains that what is liberating is embracing one's own personal reflection in the light of legitimate truth and knowledge that can result in change to one's own darkness of mind and soul. Shangri-La is after all a mythical misconception that never existed and a never ending and misguided search for seekers. It is essentially like the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" or a “rabbit trail” for the seeker.

Given choices as a Tibetan under Lamism; it would perhaps be preferential to abide in one's own shadow of darkness than to be forcibly entrenched in the darkness of another. Such was the case under Tibetan Lamism - enforced darkness under a repressive societal regime.

It is reported that, there are current J.V. mining operations in Tibet, independently and jointly with the British. As well as that, it is reported that there are current hydropower construction projects in progress, hydropower projects currently being commissioned or having recently come online and further hydropower projects in the pipeline that will and can decrease regional reliance on "fossil fuel" power generation and in turn, benefit environmental sustainability in the entire central-western/south-eastern Asiatic-Chinese regions.

It will probably be seen in the future, through ASEAN generated forums, that power generated in Tibet will most probably be used to provide clean energy to not only Chinese-Tibetan provincial territories, (as is currently the case) but also to other surrounding Chinese provinces in the region that can benefit from downstream developments. Possibly ASEAN nations outside Chinese borders might jointly invest and benefit as well in the longer term. The entire region can benefit in the longer term by Chinese joint venture management strategies.

It stands to rest that; to isolate one nation's sovereign related issues and the progressive socialist liberation of citizens and jointly beneficial infrastructure development in a regional area is an “international farce” and not worthy of the attention paid to it by the mass-media of multinational interests.

Take time out to visit and read Michael Parenti and his unbiased Tibetan reporting and as an “eye opener” the article on Mother Teresa as well.
