'Beijing orchestrating Tibet riots'
Canada Free Press[Friday, March 21, 2008 10:20]
Brit spies confirm Dalai Lama's report of staged violence

By Gordon Thomas

London, March 20 - Britain%u2019s GCHQ, the government communications agency that electronically monitors half the world from space, has confirmed the claim by the Dalai Lama that agents of the Chinese People%u2019s Liberation Army, the PLA, posing as monks, triggered the riots that have left hundreds of Tibetans dead or injured.

GCHQ analysts believe the decision was deliberately calculated by the Beijing leadership to provide an excuse to stamp out the simmering unrest in the region, which is already attracting unwelcome world attention in the run-up to the Olympic Games this summer.

For weeks there has been growing resentment in Lhasa, Tibet%u2019s capital, against minor actions taken by the Chinese authorities.

Increasingly, monks have led acts of civil disobedience, demanding the right to perform traditional incense burning rituals. With their demands go cries for the return of the Dalai Lama, the 14th to hold the high spiritual office.

Committed to teaching the tenets of his moral authority%u2014peace and compassion%u2014the Dalai Lama was 14 when the PLA invaded Tibet in 1950 and he was forced to flee to India from where he has run a relentless campaign against the harshness of Chinese rule.

He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, the year of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

As you can see the riots were initially begun by Chinese government agents posing as monks to crush any peaceful protest by tagging it violent. Second objective to throw away foreign media so that Chinese government can massacre Tibetans in complete silence. Sadly I must objective achieved. But what was supposed to contained and restricted to Lhasa, has spread through out. Tibetans are now protesting peacefully and violently all over tibet, beijing and China, and world. In a way Chinese Governments stupid and deadly plan has backfired. Tibetans are rejecting to die a silent death! Dalai lama should step down and let Tibetans handle themselves.

Discovering that his supporters inside Tibet and China would become even more active in the months approaching the Olympic Games this summer, British intelligence officers in Beijing learned the ruling regime would seek an excuse to move and crush the present unrest.

That fear was publicly expressed by the Dalai Lama. GCHQ%u2019s satellites, geo-positioned in space, were tasked to closely monitor the situation.

The doughnut-shaped complex, near Cheltenham racecourse, is set in the pleasant Cotswolds in the west of England. Seven thousand employees include the best electronic experts and analysts in the world. Between them they speak more than 150 languages. At their disposal are 10,000 computers, many of which have been specially built for their work.

The images they downloaded from the satellites provided confirmation the Chinese used agent provocateurs to start riots, which gave the PLA the excuse to move on Lhasa to kill and wound over the past week.

What the Beijing regime had not expected was how the riots would spread, not only across Tibet, but also to Sichuan, Quighai and Gansu provinces, turning a large area of western China into a battle zone.

The Dalai Lama has called it %u201Ccultural genocide%u201D and has offered to resign as head of the protests against Chinese rule in order to bring peace. The current unrest began on March 10, marking the anniversary of the 1959 Uprising against Chinese rule.

However, his followers are not listening to his %u201Cmessage of compa

Propaganda by Chinese authority. Chinese communist regime is expansionist,autocratic and scores poorly when it comes to judging a nation on the parameter of human rights.
