About me:


Repression continues in China, six months before Olympic Games
When the International Olympic Committee assigned the 2008 summer Olympic Games to Beijing on 13 July 2001, the Chinese police were intensifying a crackdown on subversive elements, including Internet users and journalists. Six years later, nothing has changed. But despite the absence of any significant progress in free speech and human rights in China, the IOC’s members continue to turn a deaf ear to repeated appeals from international organisations that condemn the scale of the repression.
From the outset, Reporters Without Borders has been opposed to holding the Olympic Games to Beijing. Now, a year before the opening ceremony, it is clear the Chinese government still sees the media and Internet as strategic sectors that cannot be left to the “hostile forces” denounced by President Hu Jintao. The departments of propaganda and public security and the cyber-police, all conservative bastions, implement censorship with scrupulous care.
Around 30 journalists and 50 Internet users are currently detained in China. Some of them since the 1980s. The government blocks access to thousands for news websites. It jams the Chinese, Tibetan and Uyghur-language programmes of 10 international radio stations. After focusing on websites and chat forums, the authorities are now concentrating on blogs and video-sharing sites. China’s blog services incorporate all the filters that block keywords considered “subversive” by the censors. The law severely punishes “divulging state secrets,” “subversion” and “defamation” - charges that are regularly used to silence the most outspoken critics. Although the rules for foreign journalists have been relaxed, it is still impossible for the international media to employ Chinese journalists or to move about freely in Tibet and Xinjiang.

Promises never kept
The Chinese authorities promised the IOC and international community concrete improvements in human rights in order to win the 2008 Olympics for Beijing. But they changed their tone after getting what they wanted. For example, then deputy Prime Minister Li Lanqing said, four days after the IOC vote in 2001, that “China’s Olympic victory” should encourage the country to maintain its “healthy life” by combatting such problems as the Falungong spiritual movement, which had “stirred up violent crime.” Several thousands of Falungong followers have been jailed since the movement was banned and at least 100 have died in detention.
A short while later, it was the turn of then Vice-President Hu Jintao (now president) to argue that after the Beijing “triumph,” it was “crucial to fight without equivocation against the separatist forces orchestrated by the Dalai Lama and the world’s anti-China forces.” In the west of the country, where there is a sizeable Muslim minority, the authorities in Xinjiang province executed Uyghurs for “separatism.”
Finally, the police and judicial authorities were given orders to pursue the “Hit Hard” campaign against crime. Every year, several thousand Chinese are executed in public, often in stadiums, by means of a bullet in the back of the neck or lethal injection.

The IOC cannot remain silent any longer
The governments of democratic countries that are still hoping “the Olympic Games will help to improve the human right situation in China” are mistaken. The “constructive dialogue” advocated by some is leading nowhere.
The repression of journalists and cyber-dissidents has not let up in the past seven years. Everything suggests that it is going to continue. The IOC has given the Chinese government a job that it is going to carry out with zeal - the job of “organising secure Olympic Games.” For the government, this means more arrests of dissidents, more censorship and no social protest movements.
This is not about spoiling the party or taking the Olympic Games hostage. And anyway, it is China that has taken the games and the Olympic spirit hostage, with the IOC’s complicity. The world sports movement must now speak out and call for the Chinese people to be allowed to enjoy the freedoms it has been demanding for years. The Olympic Charter says sport must be “at the service of the harmonious development of man, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.” Athletes and sports lovers have the right and the duty to defend this charter. The IOC should show some courage and should do everything possible to ensure that Olympism’s values are not freely flouted by the Chinese organisers.
The IOC is currently in the best position to demand concrete goodwill gestures from the Chinese government. It should demand a significant improvement in the human rights situation before the opening ceremony on 8 August 2008.
And the IOC should not bow to the commercial interests of all those who regard China as a vital market in which nothing should be allowed to prevent them from doing business.

No Olympic Games without democracy!
Reporters Without Borders calls on the National Olympic Committees, the IOC, athletes, sports lovers and human rights activists to publicly express their concern about the countless violations of every fundamental freedom in China.
After Beijing was awarded the games in 2001, Harry Wu, a Chinese dissident who spent 19 years in prisons in China, said he deeply regretted that China did not have “the honour and satisfaction of hosting the Olympic Games in a democratic country.”
Russian dissident Vladimir Bukovsky’s outraged comment about the holding of the 1980 Olympics in Moscow - “Politically, a grave error; humanly, a despicable act; legally, a crime” - remains valid for 2008.

________________________________________________________________________



Seis meses antes de los Juegos Olímpicos continúa la represión
El 13 de julio de 2001, el Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI) designaba a Pekín para la organización de los Juegos Olímpicos de verano de 2008. Paralelamente, la policía china intensificaba la represión contra los elementos subversivos de la sociedad, y entre ellos los internautas y los periodistas. Seis años más tarde no ha cambiado nada. Y, a pesar de la falta de progresos significativos en materia de libertad de expresión y derechos humanos en China, los miembros del COI permanecen sordos a los repetidos llamamientos de las organizaciones internacionales, que denuncian la magnitud de la represión.
Desde el principio, Reporteros sin Fronteras se pronunció en contra de la concesión de los JJOO a Pekín. Cuando falta un año para la ceremonia de apertura, la organización recuerda que el gobierno chino sigue considerando a los medios de comunicación y a Internet como uno de los sectores estratégicos, que no deben abandonarse a las “fuerzas hostiles” denunciadas por el presidente Hu Jintao. El departamento de policía, el de la seguridad pública y la ciberpolicía, bastiones de los conservadores, se encargan de hacer que se aplique escrupulosamente la censura.
Actualmente, en China hay encarcelados al menos 30 periodistas y 50 internautas. Algunos desde los años 80. El gobierno bloquea miles de sitios informativos de Internet. Se interfieren los programas en chino, tibetano y uigur de una decena de radios internacionales. Tras los sitios de Internet y los foros de discusión, las autoridades se concentran ahora en los blogs y los sitios que permiten el intercambio de vídeos. Todas las herramientas de blogs del país incluyen filtros que bloquean las palabras clave que los censores consideran “subversivas”. La ley sanciona fuertemente la “divulgación de secretos de Estado”, la “subversión” y la “difamación”, acusaciones que frecuentemente se utilizan para silenciar las voces más críticas. A pesar de que han disminuido las medidas que enmarcan el trabajo de los periodistas extranjeros, para los medios de comunicación internacionales sigue siendo imposible emplear a periodistas chinos, o desplazarse libremente al Tibet y a Xinjiang.

Unas promesas que nunca se han cumplido
Para conseguir la organización de los JJOO, las autoridades chinas prometieron al COI, y a la comunidad internacional, mejoras concretas en el terreno de los derechos humanos. Pero una vez lograda la victoria, han cambiado el tono. Por ejemplo, el Viceprimer Ministro de entonces, Li Lanqing, aseguró cuatro días antes de la votación del COI, en 2001, que la “victoria olímpica de China” debía incitar al país a preservar su “vida sana”, luchando entre otras cosas contra el movimiento espiritual Falungong, que “atiza la inseguridad”. Desde la prohibición del movimiento, al menos cien adeptos de Falungong han muerto mientras estaban detenidos y varios miles más se encuentran encarcelados.
Un poco más tarde fue el turno de Hu Jintao, el Vicepresidente chino de aquella época y actual presidente, quien aseguró que tras el “triunfo” de Pekín era “primordial luchar sin equívocos contra las actividades separatistas orquestadas por el Dalai Lama y las fuerzas antichinas del mundo”. En el oeste del país, donde vive una fuerte minoría musulmana, las autoridades de la provincia de Xinjiang han ejecutado a uigures acusados de “separatismo”.
Finalmente, la policía y la justicia han recibido la orden de continuar con la campaña “Golpear fuerte” contra la delincuencia. Todos los años, varios miles de chinos son ejecutados con un disparo en la nuca o una inyección letal, en público, a veces en los estadios.

El COI no puede permanecer mudo
Se equivocan los gobiernos de los Estados democráticos que todavía esperan que “los JJOO permitan mejorar la situación de los derechos humanos en China”. El “diálogo constructivo”, que algunos predicaron, no ha conducido a nada.
En el transcurso de estos últimos siete años no ha disminuido la represión a periodistas y ciberdisidentes. Y todo hace pensar que va a continuar. El COI ha encargado al régimen chino una tarea que va a cumplir con celo: “organizar unos JJOO seguros”. Para Pekín, eso significa más detenciones de disidentes, más censura y ningún movimiento de contestación social.
No se trata de aguar la fiesta, ni de tomar como rehenes a los JJOO. Por el contrario, ha sido China quien ha tomado como rehenes a los Juegos y al espíritu olímpico, con la complicidad del COI. Ahora, el movimiento deportivo mundial tiene que alzar la voz para que finalmente los chinos disfruten de las libertades que reclaman desde hace años. La Carta Olímpica establece que el deporte debe ponerse “al servicio del desarrollo armonioso del hombre, con vistas a estimular el establecimiento de una sociedad pacífica, preocupada por preservar la dignidad humana”. Los atletas, y los aficionados al deporte, tiene el derecho y el deber de defender esa Carta. El COI debe dar muestras de valor y hacer todo lo necesario para que los organizadores chinos no se burlen alegremente de los valores del olimpismo.
El COI es hoy el mejor situado para exigir del gobierno chino muestras de buena voluntad. La instancia olímpica tiene que exigir a Pekín, antes de la ceremonia de apertura del 8 de agosto de 2008, que mejore de forma notable la situación de los derechos humanos.
Y el COI no debe ceder ante los intereses económicos de todos cuantos consideran que China es un mercado esencial, y que nada debe impedir hacer negocios allí.

¡No a los Juegos Olímpicos sin democracia!
Reporteros sin Fronteras pide a los Comités Olímpicos nacionales, al COI, a los atletas, a todos los aficionados al deporte y a los defensores de los derechos humanos, que manifiesten públicamente su preocupación frente a las innumerables violaciones de todas las libertades fundamentales en China Popular.
Tras la designación de Pekín en 2001, Harry Wu, disidente chino que pasó diecinueve años en las cárceles de su país, declaró que lamentaba profundamente que China no tuviera “el honor y la recompensa de acoger los Juegos Olímpicos en tanto que país democrático”.
“Políticamente, un grave error; humanamente, una bajeza; jurídicamente, un crimen”. El grito de indignación, lanzado por el disidente ruso Vladimir Bukovski contra la celebración de los JJOO en Moscú, en 1980, sigue de actualidad en 2008.

________________________________________________________________________



Six mois avant les Jeux olympiques, la répression continue
Le 13 juillet 2001, le Comité olympique international (CIO) attribuait l’organisation des Jeux olympiques d’été de 2008 à Pékin. Parallèlement, la police chinoise intensifiait la répression contre les éléments subversifs de la société, notamment les internautes et les journalistes. Six ans plus tard, rien n’a changé. Et malgré cette absence de progrès significatifs en matière de liberté d’expression et de droits de l’homme en Chine, les membres du CIO restent sourds aux appels répétés des organisations internationales qui dénoncent l’ampleur de la répression.
Reporters sans frontières s’est prononcée, dès le début, contre l’attribution des JO à Pékin. Six mois avant la cérémonie d’ouverture, l’organisation rappelle que les médias et Internet sont toujours vus par le gouvernement chinois comme l’un des secteurs stratégiques à ne pas abandonner aux "forces hostiles" dénoncées par le président Hu Jintao. Le Département de la publicité, celui de la sécurité publique et la cyberpolice, bastions des conservateurs, sont chargés de faire scrupuleusement appliquer la censure.
Une trentaine de journalistes et une cinquantaine d’internautes sont actuellement emprisonnés en Chine. Certains depuis les années 1980. Le gouvernement bloque des milliers de sites Internet d’informations. Les programmes en chinois, tibétain et ouïghour d’une dizaine de radios internationales sont brouillés. Après les sites Internet et les forums de discussion, les autorités se concentrent désormais sur les blogs et les sites permettant l’échange de vidéos. Les outils de blogs du pays incluent tous des filtres qui bloquent les mots clefs jugés "subversifs" par les censeurs. La loi sanctionne lourdement la "divulgation de secrets d’Etat", la "subversion" et la "diffamation", autant d’accusations régulièrement utilisées pour faire taire les voix les plus critiques. Bien que les mesures encadrant le travail des journalistes étrangers aient été assouplies, il est toujours impossible pour les médias internationaux d’employer des journalistes chinois, ou de se déplacer librement au Tibet et au Xinjiang.

Des promesses jamais tenues
Pour obtenir l’organisation des JO, les autorités chinoises ont promis au CIO et à la communauté internationale des améliorations concrètes dans le domaine des droits de l’homme. Mais une fois la victoire acquise, le ton a changé. Le vice-Premier ministre de l’époque Li Lanqing a, par exemple, affirmé, quatre jours après le vote du CIO, en 2001, que la "victoire olympique de la Chine" devait inciter le pays à préserver sa "vie saine" en luttant notamment contre le mouvement spirituel Falungong qui a "attisé l’insécurité". Au moins cent adeptes du Falungong sont morts en détention depuis l’interdiction du mouvement et plusieurs milliers d’autres sont emprisonnés.
Un peu plus tard, c’était au tour de Hu Jintao, le vice-président chinois de l’époque et actuel président, d’affirmer qu’après le "triomphe" de Pékin, il était "primordial de lutter sans équivoque contre les activités séparatistes orchestrées par le dalaï-lama et les forces antichinoises dans le monde". Dans l’ouest du pays, où vit une forte minorité musulmane, les autorités de la province du Xinjiang ont exécuté des Ouighours accusés de "séparatisme".
Enfin, la police et la justice ont reçu l’ordre de poursuivre la campagne "Frapper fort" contre la délinquance. Plusieurs milliers de Chinois sont exécutés, chaque année, d’une balle dans la nuque ou d’une injection létale, en public, parfois dans des stades.

Le CIO ne peut plus rester muet
Les gouvernements des Etats démocratiques qui espèrent encore que "les JO permettront d’améliorer la situation des droits de l’homme en Chine" se trompent. Le "dialogue constructif" prôné par certains ne mène à rien.
Au cours de ces sept dernières années, la répression envers les journalistes et les cyberdissidents n’a pas diminué. Et tout laisse penser que cela va continuer. Le CIO a investi le régime chinois d’une tâche qu’il va exécuter avec zèle : "organiser des JO sécurisés". Pour Pékin, cela signifie davantage d’arrestations de dissidents, plus de censure et aucun mouvement de contestation sociale.
Il n’est pas question de gâcher la fête, ni de prendre en otages les JO. C’est la Chine, au contraire, qui a pris en otages les Jeux et l’esprit olympique, avec la complicité du CIO. Le mouvement sportif mondial doit maintenant donner de la voix pour que les Chinois bénéficient enfin des libertés qu’ils réclament depuis des années. La Charte olympique stipule que le sport doit être mis "au service du développement harmonieux de l’homme, en vue d’encourager l’établissement d’une société pacifique, soucieuse de préserver la dignité humaine". Les athlètes et les amateurs de sport ont le droit et le devoir de défendre cette Charte. Le CIO doit faire preuve de courage et tout faire pour que les valeurs de l’olympisme ne soient pas allègrement bafouées par les organisateurs chinois.
Le CIO est aujourd’hui le mieux placé pour exiger du gouvernement chinois des gages de bonne volonté. L’instance olympique doit exiger de Pékin que la situation des droits de l’homme s’améliore de manière notable avant la cérémonie d’ouverture du 8 août 2008.
Et le CIO ne doit pas céder devant les intérêts économiques de tous ceux qui considèrent que la Chine est un marché essentiel et que rien ne doit empêcher d’y faire des affaires.

Pas de Jeux olympiques sans démocratie !
Reporters sans frontières demande aux Comités nationaux olympiques, au CIO, aux athlètes, à tous les amoureux du sport et aux défenseurs des droits de l’homme d’exprimer publiquement leur inquiétude face aux innombrables violations de toutes les libertés fondamentales en Chine populaire.
Après la désignation de Pékin en 2001, Harry Wu, dissident chinois qui a passé dix-neuf ans dans les prisons de son pays, a déclaré qu’il regrettait profondément que la Chine n’ait "pas l’honneur et la récompense d’accueillir les Jeux olympiques en pays démocratique".
"Politiquement, une grave erreur ; humainement, une bassesse ; juridiquement, un crime." Le cri d’indignation lancé par le dissident russe Vladimir Boukovski contre la tenue des JO à Moscou en 1980, reste d’actualité en 2008.

    Just as it was for Paul and Silas,
    it is still the same for us this day.

    It is when we praise God & pray,
    that we are freed and others who
    are around us are freed as well.


    "Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul
    and Silas prayed, and sang praises
    unto God: and the prisoners heard
    them.

    26 And suddenly there was a great
    earthquake, so that the foundations
    of the prison were shaken: and
    immediately all the doors were
    opened, and every one's bands were
    loosed.
    "

    John 16:23 And in that day ye shall
    ask me nothing.
    Verily, verily, I say
    unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask
    the Father in my name, he will give
    it you.

    24  Hitherto have ye asked nothing
    in my name: ask, and ye shall
    receive, that your joy may be full.
    "

    This year be released from what
    holds you back.
    Go into the new
    year a conqueror with prayers
    answered and freedom in Christ.


    God Bless you .

    "Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring
    forth a son, and thou shalt call his
    name JESUS: for he shall save his
    people from their sins.
    "
    "1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,
    and one mediator between God and
    men, the man Christ Jesus;"
    "1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath
    not appointed us to wrath, but to
    obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
    Christ,"

    The angel told Joseph that Jesus
    would save us from our sins.
    Paul
    wrote that Jesus is the only mediator
    between God and us, and declared
    that God has appointed us to receive
    salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Jesus & salvation is the reason for
    rejoicing and celebrating the birth of
    Jesus, our Messiah.

    "Psalms 128:1 Blessed is every one
    that feareth the LORD; that walketh
    in his ways.
    2 For thou shalt eat
    the labour of thine hands: happy
    shalt thou be, and it shall be well
    with thee.
    "
    "Psalms 144:15 Happy is that people,
    that is in such a case: yea, happy
    is that people, whose God is the
    LORD.
    "
    "Psalms 146:5 Happy is he that hath
    the God of Jacob for his help, whose
    hope is in the LORD his God:"

    From birth to the end of life the
    thing most sought for is happiness.

    The rich look to money and gain,
    but it is just a temporary joy lost
    to fear that their money will be
    stolen.
    The average man looks for
    possessions, to have better & more
    than his neighbor, but there is never
    enough to be happy.
    Nations look
    for power, control, and riches as
    the source of happiness but war
    steals it away.
    The real source
    of happiness is God, the source
    that many overlook.
    When we as
    individuals and nations look to God
    and fear Him, it is only then that
    true happiness is found.
    Man can
    not do provide it for you, nor can
    anything else fill you with a true
    happiness.


    God bless you .

    Someone special ~YOU~

    Make it a point to do something today for someone special, someone whom you often take for granted, someone who deserves your full and complete support -- yourself!

    Being good to yourself is not being selfish. It doesn't mean you must ignore others. Rather, it makes you able to offer more value to the other people in your world when you take good care of yourself. Putting yourself down is of no benefit to anyone. Helping yourself to grow and build will provide you with more to give.


    Be positive with yourself. Be kind and generous with yourself. When was the last time you did something nice for yourself? You deserve some special attention. Be good to yourself and that goodness will overflow into the world and the people around you.

    -- Ralph Marston

    All My Love to YOU my Special Friend !

    When we see a soul whose acts are all regal, graceful, and pleasant as roses, we must thank God that such things can be and are.

    From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson
    Thank You for Being a Light in my Life

    "John 14:11 Believe me that I am
    in the Father, and the Father in
    me: or else believe me for the
    very works' sake.

    12 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
    He that believeth on me, the works
    that I do shall he do also; and
    greater works than these shall he
    do; because I go unto my Father.

    13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in
    my name, that will I do, that the
    Father may be glorified in the Son.

    14 If ye shall ask any thing in my
    name, I will do it.
    "
    "Mark 4:39 And he arose, and
    rebuked the wind, and said unto
    the sea, Peace, be still.
    And the
    wind ceased, and there was a
    great calm.

    41 And they feared exceedingly,
    and said one to another, What
    manner of man is this, that even
    the wind and the sea obey him?"

    Doing the works that Jesus did is
    a promise to us, doing even greater
    works than Jesus is a promise also.

    Believing is the key to receiving
    God's promises manifested in our
    lives.
    Asking for anything in the
    name of Jesus Christ is guaranteed
    to produced results.
    Expect to see
    Miracles.


    God bless you .
