Grape Mrs. Carillon
I am a fervently aligned anti-Olympics activist in theory, though not in practice in any real sense, so I stayed home from the big demonstration the other day. Thus I missed the mysteriously poetic prediction depicted here:
I should get out more, but not really.

UPDATE: Aha. Mr. Google tells me that it is a lyric from a Rise Against song called "State of the Union". Demystification can be a drag.

Posted by: olympic security at April 18, 2008 04:31 AMThe sudden manufactured interest in the Tibet issue and its dutiful promotion by the American media in the months approaching the Summer Olympic Games in China, is not an accident.
This is more psyops intended to destabilize China and is timed to bring the Chinese government maximum worldwide negative attention. The ability to start, continue, or stop such media and psyops campaigns then becomes a bargaining chip with which to negotiate more favorable behavior from the Chinese government on other totally unrelated issues which the United States really cares about - monetary policy, trade balance issues, Taiwan, the Chinese role in the Iranian nuclear issue, military expenditures, etc.
