The Kettle is Black

Message Stanley Crawford

There have been several articles recently in opednews accusing China of things the west has done and brought upon itself.

I've read a couple about organ harvesting, only to find out that many of the recipients are westerners seeking substantial reductions in the amount paid for these comparable operations demanded by western hospitals. So, I would say that westerners are responsible for this demand.

I read another about the exiled government of Tibet, but I hear nothing from these same people about the exiled Hawaiian government that is seeking independence from the USA. Or the hundreds of Treaty's broken by the US government signed with Native American's tribes.

To refer to the Beijing Olympics as the genocide Olympics, when the US was in Vietnam in 1964 waging a unjust war and committing atrocious crimes against innocent civilians.

There is now an investigation in south Korea about whole villages being slaughtered by American soldiers during its military involvement there in the 50's.

You must also include the current War Of Terror based off of lies and dubious facts in Afghanistan and Iraq where untold hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims have perished at the hands of the US MIC.

The USA is still the largest supplier of weapons to the world and the DOD spends more money than many of the nations of the world combined spend.

To accuse China of stealing American jobs, when it was American citizens demanding lower priced products. How else do people think they can pay cheaper prices without off-shoring or out-sourcing jobs. Corporations run off of profit margins that American salaried workers have priced themselves out of the market, with their "American Dream" credit-card lifestyles of buy now and pay later.

China loans the USA over 7 billion $'s a month, and with the slowing of the American economy, China can diversify its markets easier than the US can wean itself from this handout.

So, before pinheads start pointing fingers and pontificating absurd and hypocritical accusations, they better look real hard to make sure they themselves don't live in a glass house.

Stanimal is ??? I hear cries for freedom elsewhere, while the US becomes less so. I hear support for free markets, then demanding a bailout due to incompetence. I roll my eyes at those that accuse others being oppressed while the US has and (more...)
