It reminded me of a crackhead with his half finished sentences and jerky bodily movements. No offense to your post but just a tiny little joke on the appearance alone.

Joe la, somewhere out there, there is a cow tearing up over your kind words.

Web chowkidar was in New York for the Rangzen Roundtable. He ought to be home today or tomorrow. I will email him to end the discussion.

Glad you agree with what I have to say and I understand that someone like you is disturbed with how I say it !But let´s call things what they are coz so much time has been lost sucking up to people who don´t give a monkey´s ass what happens inside Tibet !

As the Kalon Tripa is busy flying around the world holding talks and collecting useless medals from people that actually FOUGHT for their country´s freedom, the chinese terror and the Tibet´s suffering continues.

Lobsang Sangay talks more about himself than about Tibet…which I find highly embarrassing.

When I heard that he had held a talk just two blocks from the hunger strikers but didn´t visit them I was shocked !

I don´t even dislike the man coz, unlike Tibetans, I grew up in a full blown democracy and expect NOTHING from any politician !

But as a Tibetan human he could have visited the hunger strikers. Actually it would have been his duty as Kalon Tripa !

So it looks as if the man himself has not decided what and who he is !

But to leave on a lighter note I heard one joke and I am sure we can all have a laugh about it no matter who or what we believe in !

“His parents should have sold him and sent the cow to school !”

Hope no one is offended and if you are just watch western TV and you will hear what the politicians of the free world have to take…!

To gain respect you have to respect others first and that is definitely one of LS´s major weaknesses !

Now I don´t agree at all with Woeser la´s statement concerning the self immolations but I still respect her. At least Woeser la has respected every single one of them and not left anyone out !

I think Web-Chowkidar is on leave of absent (no call no show) to duty.

“Since a clear official statement has been made on this matter, the issue is now closed. I request our web-chowkidar not to allow any more comments. JN”.

The PRC government must issue an open notice, saying that the Dalai Lama is free to visit any part of his native regions in China, provided that he is entitled to have all the necessary securities.

The international community can play a vital role to achieve this.

A visit by the Dalai Lama to his native land is in no way going to prove a means to crumble the Beijing regime. It is not going to pose any threat; rather it would help the regime to become cleaner (in the international scenario) and its concerned policy more transparent.

The “fire protest” is a worrisome social issue at the national level, and the government has absolute responsibility not to neglect it by means of blame game.

Therefore, it is vital that the regime ponder over this matter before it is too late.

Agree totally.

Demanding that China do something about the current situation in Golok is a reasonable demand. However, it is not a demand that any reasonable person would expect China to actually act on, given its track record.

I request our web-chowkidar not to allow any more comments. JN

“The Kalon Tripa and his office would like to clarify a recent statement made by the Kalon Tripa to a small German newspaper (stol.it) in Northern Italy

When asked “What is it like being a Prime Minister without a country?” the Kalon Tripa responded “I can’t say for sure because Tibetans we never had a country.”

The above remark could be misunderstood and misinterpreted. Therefore, we would like to clarify that the Kalon Tripa was actually responding in the context of the stateless position of Tibetans in exile and particularly his own position as a Tibetan in India. Tibetans of his generation, born and raised in exile, have yet to experience living in a place they can call their country. Dr. Sangay has done hundreds of interviews since assuming the post of Kalon Tripa and his stand has always been and continues to be that Tibet was historically an independent nation and it is presently under occupation.

We regret any misunderstanding the statement may have caused, and hope this clarification addresses the matter.”

Remember how we said in 2008 that this “crackdown” was a sign of the CCP propelling China and Tibet backward in time. Look at the atmosphere now. Where are we…some time in the 1970s? Who’s going to stop it from turning into the horrific ’60s, or is it already there?

Look at China itself – internet, newspapers, authors, artists, all being shut down at an increasing rate. We always wonder how Hitler could have been allowed to do what he did, yet here we are, the world seemingly frozen in the position of watching it happen.
