China staged an artistically outstanding Winter Olympics opening — but the West is critiquing the fact that a Uyghur was chosen to light the Olympic flame

For sheer ridiculousness, no one beats the Anglo-Saxon heritage nations

 

Notice first, that the countries that are pseudo-boycotting China's Beijing Winter Olympics include Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

 

In Realpolitik terms, that's three toy poodles and an obese bulldog.

 

These Anglo-Saxon heritage nations evidently believe that preventing their own government officials from visiting the Beijing Winter Olympics somehow punishes the People's Republic.

 

China is (evidently) expected to shed tears over those foreign governments' folks missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the PRC and the Olympics at the same time.

 

And certainly, the Chinese Communist Party leadership is well known for its compassion. Clever of us to take advantage of that and punish them with their own eye sprinkles.

 

Second point — the day after the opening ceremony — which was superbly crafted with China's admirable artistic skill — the West chose to pounce upon the PRC's choice of a Uyghur Olympian to light the Games torch.

 

"Sportwashing" it was called:

 

 

Beijing 2022 organisers have been accused of crass and flagrant 'propaganda' after using a Uyghur athlete to light the cauldron at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony on Friday.

 

Outcry was sparked by the move that saw the Uygher cross-country skier Dinigeer Yilamujiang chosen as one of two Chinese competitors to ignite the flame.

 

It followed fierce criticism of the Chinese government in the build up to these Games owing to claims that they are committing crimes against humanity in their treatment of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang.

 

Human rights groups allege as many as one million Uyghurs are currently detained in 're-education' camps and enduring atrocious abuse.

Here in America Land . . .

 

. . . we are pretty darn sure that cross-country skiing Olympian, Dinigeer Yilamujiang, was smiling — as she lighted the Olympic flame — exclusively due to her recent release from a presumed stint in a harsh Chinese reeducation camp.

 

How dare 'them commies' get that girl to express delight at being on the world stage, given all the woes (which we Westerners allege) that she — and her allegedly million peers — have experienced at the Chinese Communist Party's blood-filthy hands.

 

In fact, we are propaganda-certain that Dinigeer was actually genocided to death in that Chinese camp.

 

And yesterday, we were (no doubt!) witnessing a computer-generated version of Dinigeer's ghost carrying her flame-lighting torch.

 

What a travesty of human rights. From living being to an obvious computer trick.

 

So, by all means, let's continue to be volubly self-righteous about the Uyghur situation. While we, in the West, eagerly start yet another war. This one in Ukraine. Which will kill tens of thousands of Ukrainians and whomever else happens to be standing around.

 

 

Meanwhile — on the spectrum of Toy Poodle and Obese Bulldog priorities

 

Nobody on our side said anything about the Opening Ceremony's impressive display of China's variegated peoples, as they passed the Chinese flag from one set of hands to another.

 

 

Missing the point . . .

 

. . . you see, is one of the West's supremely manifested skills.

 

 

The moral? — In China's shoes, I'd ram it up the Poodle-Bulldog ass, too

 


Tell me, which nation among those already mentioned is most likely to establish humanity's Brain Trend in the future?

 

This soon-arriving outcome is probably why the increasingly irrelevant and self-destructive Anglo-Saxon heritage nations are squeaky-barking their hypocritical fury.

 

A wise person, in one of these poodle-bulldog states, would pay attention and attempt to correct our leaderships' very many stupidities.
