Beijing to Airbrush Pollution from the Olympics

Go to NASA Earth Observatory and marvel at the scale and scope of the infamous 'Brown Cloud' that is smothering Asia from India to Indonesia to the major culprit...Red China. It all began with Mao's Great Leap Forward in the late 50's and has been steadily stinking up our fragile planet since then.
It now girdles the globe and swirls up over the arctic. PACDEX (The Pacific Dust Experiment) planes have tracked it across the ocean to British Columbia and there's a NASA image of it over NJ! It is a tasty melange of every nasty emission known to modern science...not to mention Gobi Desert dust! Move it across a 'La Nina' or an 'El Nino' and climatological fireworks ensue eastward...all bad. (Mexico City also has its own huge pollution cloud.)
When a temperature inversion coincides with the massive burning of rice paddies, giant Singapore is subject to emergency pollution closure. The air turns a funny color and old people and infants suffocate. Microscopic aerosol particulates are the seed of ice crystals that become rain drops that cause deluges far downwind from the source. Say, Iowa perhaps? 17 ft of snow in the Rockies in a week?
The Goreacle NEVER mentions this. Curious I'd say. Who's he flakking for?

What worries me isn't an incompetent regime like China. What happens when a competent, tech savvy regime takes over, that I can't game or evade... Thank goodness for the 2nd amendment.

Lets face it, the Chinese govt can't even control their own goon squads: there are 10,000 riots a year in China, that's over 30 PER DAY.

Essentially, they have replicated the Mandarin class of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, corrupt, semi-competent, primarily because they are a true meritocracy, but unable to protect the common people, who revolt at the corruption and graft.

Even an almost useful health concept like Falun Gong threatens the govt of China. As long as they opress their own citizens, they are as brittle as glass

And this may well be the Chi-Comm's downfall. They are polluting their country so rapidly that the whole place could become an uninhabitable desert.

Screw Obama's blathering about everyone needing to speak a second language. What would be most helpful to average useful idiot Americans who believe BHO's plan to have government control everything is wise, is to have every citizen be able to visit a government controlled country. It's unfathomable to Americans what that TRULY looks and feels like.

If you have HBO On-Demand rent the documentary on China about the crisis they have w/ children being trafficked. 70,000 children go missing every year in China. This is mainly the result of the government rule on "one child per family". The people are so poor in China that if they do happen to "not follow the strict childbearing laws" then they are incapable of paying the fine to the government, so they oftentimes have to sell their own children. Some are simply selling their children to make money because they are so poor. Smog is the least of the problems in that god forsaken country. How on earth they ever ended up as the host country for the Olympics is absolutely insane. The Olympics should be a reward to countries who, at the very least, treat their citizens as human beings. We've basically high-fived and patted on the back mass murderers. Oh, but we Americans are the real bad guys. (insert sarcasm) Unbelievable.

All this should tell or complacent sheep something.Do we want a Communist government running our lives?

These 2008 Olympics have absolutely nothing to do with fostering goodwill or promoting harmony. They represent an under-the-table handshake between a brutal totalitarian regime that craves world recognition and a declining Western civilization that is only concerned with the bottom line.

In an attempt to show a "harmonious society" on primetime television, the Chinese regime has been increasing their efforts in jailing and torturing Falun Gong practitioners, rounding up political dissidents, and exterminating thousands of cats and dogs throughout Beijing. The communists can never understand what it means to respect life in all of its forms because at their very core they are taught to fight with nature at all costs and battle with nature. This is one of the tenets of the Chinese Communist Party.

To hand the Olympic Games to a brutal regime such as the CCP, who openly employs organ harvesting on political and religious prisoners, persecutes Tibetans, Uighar Muslims, underground Catholics, Falun Gong, and many others, jails those who petition against corruption, and arrogantly destroys the environment...is a complete joke. But when it comes to choosing between what is right and what can turn a profit, the West always takes the latter. Just look at the 1936 Berlin Games as evidence.

The Chi-coms can stand on the world stage, bask in their moment of glory and proclaim to the world that they are worthy of being included among the elite superpowers. But to anyone with common sense and decency, they will still remain a brutal, self-serving dictatorship with a third world mentality.

From Wikipedia:

"Since free market reforms in 1978 China's GDP has grown an average 9.9 percent a year."

It means that in 30 years country with population of 1.5 billion increased it GDP 17-fold.

If you guys believe that totalitarian state, as you describe it, is able to achieve such goal, you better vote for Obama.

What do free market reforms have to do with electing BO?

His plan of hope and change for America is the antithesis of free markets.
