The Sound of Silence

Have you noticed that since the olympic games in Beijing, China, that protests about China's human rights violations have pretty much fallen silent? I guess when there isn't a camerman in their faces, there isn't much to say about human rights violations. Mind you, I know there are still protesters out there that are actually doing the work. But most, a vast majority, are stroking each other with great tales of their deeds while millions are still suffering.

Voices also continue to fall silent about the human rights violations in Canada against the Indigenous folks in the Whistler BC area where the winter olympics will be held. Sacred sites are being destroyed, as well as many other issues, and the only folks I hear talking about this are the Native Youth Movement out of that area. Where are the protesters screaming about the Chinese human rights violations. Those folks started protesting the Chinese a couple of years prior to the games being held? Maybe they're polishing their "I Protested the Chinese" badges? Maybe Red Nigg...oops, Indians, aren't as human as Chinese on the "Race Ratio Scale?" Maybe certain occupational governments are more acceptable than others? Maybe it is OK for certain races to commit human rights violations and not others? Maybe it is OK for certain governments to commit human rights violations and not others? Any of you folks who protested the Chinese olympics have any answers to these and many more questions? You're probably not even reading this. You're probably busy telling folks how great you are while millions continue to suffer. Or maybe you are just too busy polishing your "I Protested the Chinese" badges.

As well, with very little research, it has been apparent that the Olympics have violated human rights in all countries where they have been held for DECADES, if not since their inception. Yes, even when held here in the United States. Are their any protests against the horrors generally caused by the Olympics committee? Any protests against the Olympics for violating the human rights of millions wherever they are held? Nope. Why is that? What makes the Olympics Committee so special as to be above international law that they are allowed to continue to violate human rights and get away with it? Let's ask the protesters of the Chinese olympics.

What about human rights in general violated right here in the U.S.?

Hmmm. Interesting. Can I quote you on that?
