Brown, Gordon: Snubs (2008) Olympic Games
Gordon Brown has made it clear he will not attend the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games. This is typically insulting and nothing more than through convenience. It is easier to duck an issue rather than confront it. Brown's government do not want to upset the Chinese regime and so avoid any situation that may provoke a reaction. The closing ceremony perhaps , but this is purely for the political advantage of handover to the next Olympic Games to be held in London (2012). This illustrates the absolute disinterest in the ethic of the Games and that the Olympic spirit has been brought into absolute disrepute by dividing world opinion rather than acting as the glue that binds it together in a common cause. Nothing has been condemned by a shallow government, so shallow it can suffocate in the fumes created by its own poisonous hot air. A completely political decision and shows the spineless attitude of a government culture based on similar 'principles' to the American ethic of greed.
- The population of an entire planet is being led down the road to Hell and transparency renders that fact paradoxically invisible. Those that crave power are the most incompetent and are completely blinded by their own idiocy.
- The people of any country are the least important 'commodity' of all, though their money represents everything. The aim is to separate the two. Stealing through stealth. The classic sting where the mark is unaware of the personal attack.
The Chinese walked into Tibet, but nothing was done. The entire affair has been brought out into the spotlight of global scrutiny and nothing is done. Appeasing comments are made that sports and politics should be kept separate. This would be ideal but reality makes them inseparable. Governments want that proverbial cake and to eat it. All of it. At least the best and most lucrative parts and these have nothing to do with sport. The Olympic Torch has faded into oblivion and at the same rate that abuse and the genocide of nations is ignored.
There is nothing to take like the oil in Iraq. Tibet has a spiritual culture that offends the Chinese so it is crushed in typical form. This is condoned by accepting the behaviour and rewarding it by the government's acceptance of the Chinese attitude: crush, kill and destroy.
The question is never faced about why is Iraq such a special case when world outrage condemns the Robert Mugabe Zibwabwe 'government'? Politically, criticism falls very short of the mark.
No oil
No prize
China. The prize? Lucrative trade where attitudes are unimportant, even when conflict appears to undermine the ethos behind the failed climate change/global warming arguments. The end is paramount and the means to that end is completely ignored. Trade is the god of success and is paradoxically the Devil's tool. The filthy lucre.Planet Earth is certainly in declining health, but once that human parasite is removed the Earth will recover. It may take a few million years, but there is plenty of time. Meltdown. The parasite kills the parasite (itself) and then in its turn dies. The host lives on. The Earth can survive mankind. It may have even happened before. In the scale of time for Earth's (accepted) history, a million years is literally nothing, but the blink of an eye. A few hundred thousand years for man against a many hundreds of millions of years for Earth.
No contest, but such is the incredible distortion created by the ego of Man. A very, very short existence on Earth to do maximum damage in as short a time possible. Mankind, but as a collection of individuals, imagines some virtuous right to kill and destroy (each other).
Just to make money?
Twisted and corrupt thinking and totally devoid of intelligence.
