In truth, underneath this seeming platitude and veneer of clean, transparent government and governance is a rotten system and process of government and governance by deception, falsehoods, and duplicity.
Americans have no standing to hector or lecture China and the Chinese people about free expression, freedom of the internet, or about transparency and the freedom of ideas.
What has happened since the expose unleashed by Wikileak's chief leaker Julian Assange is nothing short of collective massive government meltdown and a
governmental nervous breakdown of obscene proportion and reaction which demonstrates the very utter hypocrisy of Western liberal democracies.
Look who is talking ? Look who is committing political dirty tricks to take out an Australian dissident who dared expose American government hypocrisy?
TRANSPARENCY? THE RULE OF LAW? DUE PROCESS? ABUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS?
What is unfolding right before our eyes surrounding the "honey trap" of Julian Assange on four alleged trumped-up sexual assault charges by two Swedish female groupies is not only specious but a grand conspiracy by Western governments led by their ruling class to muzzle, muffle, and suppress the truths about the nefarious acts and activities of government officials who lie and lie through their teeth about the ugly, armpit side of their governance, most notably led by U.S. government officials, of whom we have just begun to scratch the surface.
May Julian Assange continue to be unleashed and further illuminate on more of the hidden, nefarious, duplicitous acts of misgovernance of Western regimes.... from their opacity, double-talk, lies and deception, manipulation, and connivance.
This Friday, December 5, 2010, in Oslo, the connivers, the co-conspirators, the duplicitous Western officials will congregate in Oslo, and do their ritualistic hypocritical hoopla for PEACE, HUMAN RIGHTS, and FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
While these hypocrites beam their headlights pointing to China and its treatment of LIU XIAOBO, for allegedly muffling Mr. LIU's freedom of thought, and right to dissent, don't forget that right in their own Baltic backyard, the Norwegians and the Swedes, with their American masters, are deep in their own wicked machination, deep smuck in a wacko mob-lynching orchestration to lynch one JULIAN ASSANGE, by charging him with a flimsy, bogus "honey trap" charges, as a pretext to muzzle, and muffle Mr. ASSANGE'S rights of expression.
Between LIU XIAOBO and JULIAN ASSANGE...... whose rights of expression is being wantonly abridged and suppressed?
Whose human rights are being suppressed and grossly trampled upon?
Consider the following piece from the UK GUARDIAN, which points to the utter hypocrisy of Western governments, including but not limited to the U.S.A., NORWAY, SWEDEN, and yes Mr. ASSANGE'S own home country, Australia.
HYPOCRITES. HYPOCRITES. HYPOCRITES.
