Twenty-five Tibetans have now set themselves on fire since March of last year, protesting what some call Communist Party violations of their rights. Many focus on the limitations that Party authorities place on their freedom to practice religion, and especially to pay respects to the Dalai Lama.
Yet, according to some Chinese authorities, the problems Tibetan protestors complain about are non-existent, unimportant, or, perhaps, simply a smokescreen for dark political motives. It’s an interpretation that very few in the world outside of China believe, yet seems to be common among Party members who speak on the issue.
Even as Party authorities put a lockdown in place in the Aba prefecture of Sichuan province, where the most Tibetan self-immolations have occurred, they held a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday, aiming to discredit the protest movement. Aba prefecture’s administrative head, Wu Zegang, called the protestors “outcasts” and “criminals”.
He also indicated that the painful deaths were part of a plot to split up China, and suggested that they were induced by cash payments from the Dalai Lama.
Meanwhile, Sichuan Communist Party Secretary Liu Qibao shared his view that “public complaints about cultural repression do not exist.” Despite the dozens of people giving their lives to protest the Party regime of which he is a part, Liu did not see any conflict in the area, claiming that “on the contrary, Tibetan culture is flourishing.”

Two female journalists have been describing how they were sexually abused while attempting to cover the protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.
French TV reporter Caroline Sinz told how she and her cameraman were set upon by a mob:
“We were hit, and then separated. Very few women, especially foreign, are in Tahrir Square. I was grabbed by several men and I suffered a sexual assault in front of everyone in full daylight. Other women journalists were physically attacked. It is a way to intimidate the press.”

Cheered up- heroes! but now they want us to know they are street gangs?
Intimidation? Or is it more a fact they dont need anymore ‘useful idiots’-
Not Lenin, not Khomeni. Not Tahrir Brotherhood mobsters save a quickie Arab style. Sorry it was open show.
Thanks we got some more Islamist Revolutions.

But there was no major breakthrough in Cairo after the first meeting in six months between the two groups.
“We’ve turned a new page. There was a great deal of understanding and enthusiam for working together and we were serious about implementing, not only reconciliation but everything needed to put the Palestinian house in order,” Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said

Votes are now being counted after elections in Switzerland on Sunday. Polls closed at midday local time, and the turnout was low due to many people using the postal ballot.
This parliamentary vote will determine what parties are represented in the cabinet and how many seats they will get when the cabinet is formed on December 14.
The ministers run federal agencies and take turns as president for a year.

US Congressional Commission on China Issues 2011 Annual Report
From: NTDTV | Oct 14, 2011 | 74 views
The United States Congressional-Executive Committee on China has released its annual report, focusing on human rights and the rule of law in China. According to the report, not much has changed since the commission was created in 2001. US Congressman Chris Smith introduced the report.
On Wednesday, United States Congressman Chris Smith introduced the bipartisan annual report of the Congressional-Executive Commission on how human rights and the rule of law have been playing out in China.
[Chris Smith, US Congressman]:
“The 2011 report notes that China’s leaders have actually tightened their grip on Chinese society, and grown more aggressive in disregarding the very laws and international standards that they claim to uphold.”
The commission was created in 2001 and monitors human rights and the development of rule of law in China. Many of the human rights abuses carried out by the Chinese regime when the commission was created are still going on in 2011.
[Chris Smith, US Congressman]:
“The commission’s 2011 report also documents ongoing abuses in the areas of religious freedom. Protestant house church members, under ground Catholics and Falun Gong members continue to risk detention and abuse for attempting to worship freely.”
Chris Smith is chairman of the Congressional-Executive Committee on China and the Human Rights Sub-Committee. Smith is highly critical of the Chinese regime’s human rights record.
[Chris Smith, US Congressman]:
“And as China adopts a new rhetorical strategy of claiming it abides by international law, we also hold China to it’s stated acceptance of international norms.”
The Commission is comprised of nine senators, nine representatives and five senior officials appointed by the US President. The report cites numerous political prisoners in China.
A team of French scientists are excited about a new virus. It’s the largest one ever found and was discovered off the coast of Chile. Scientists say the Mega Virus can help develop research into the possible usefulness of viral organisms. Mega viruses pose no threat to humans. Let’s take a look.
This Mega Virus was discovered by scientists during an expedition off the coast of Chile. Mega Virus Chilensis is larger than the previous record holder, Mimi, and it’s a very complex organism.
[Jean-Michel Claverie, Researcher, French Genomic Research Centre]:
“It’s actually the biggest virus in term of particle size. It is a little bigger than the previous Mimi Virus, but it is also more impressive in term of DNA and genomic size, DNA content.”
Mimi Virus and Mega Virus have 594 genes in common and could form a new family of viruses, the “Megaviridae”.
Viruses don’t usually have that many genes and the researchers say the virus responsible for the flu or HIV have only ten genes. The Mega Viruses aren’t harmful to human beings.
But what is intriguing to scientists is that they harbor genes that they say shouldn’t be there, genes that are usually found in cellular organisms or in human cells.
[Jean-Michel Claverie, Researcher, The French Genomic and Structural Information Research Centre]:
“This is definitely putting back the viruses in the realm of the living organisms, the living things. The previous theory was more like viruses started by being very small and having very few genes and eventually were stealing genes from cells. What we are showing now is that this is exactly the converse (the opposite), probably those very large viruses were already bigger before and they are slowly reducing their sizes because they are parasites and parasites are always losing genes and losing functions as the time goes.”
In what is called “reductive evolution”, viruses lose some of their functions as they can find other genes in the cells they affect.
The French team is planning to return to Chile later in October to collect new samples.
