Three hundred petitioners rounded up in Beijing

[dArKeR]

Police rounded up more than 300 people from a squatter area in southern Beijing where petitioners from all over China have been staying as a key Communist Party meeting convened for a third day yesterday, witnesses said.

Police raided the so-called "petition village" at about 4am, hacking down doors and smashing windows, one witness told reporters.

Many of those gathered at the village are trying to bring their grievances to national leaders engaged in the four-day meeting.

Still don't get it?
Wait, you will.

2. Huh?

It's already here. There are 1.3 billion people in China. 280 million in the United States. During this convention in China, 300 people were arrested. In New York during the RNC convention, 1500 people were arrested.

Kinda lopsided already, statistically.

Cheers.

3. We are on the same page-

Perhaps you have not noticed that even here,
at DU, people have not comprehended what has happened?
Despite Bev's work and research, they still think they
have a vote?
It's delusional to the point of ridiculous and in my mind,
equivalent to the delusion of the right wing x-tians that think
Bush is a Christian.
Same dress, different color.
Mass neurosis of both the "left" and "right."
To put it bluntly, it is a form of self-aggrandizing neurosis
that grips the individual on a mass movement level-
each side believing they are so important as to matter
to the empire. Reality check: The empire does not give a shit
what the "left" or "right" thinks.
This is what has undone us all.
Each side thinking they actually have a voice.
Empire will capitalize on the "right's" neurosis for now
but ultimately, we will all end up in the same place.
"left" and "right" will serve Empire as part of the global
slave wage economy, equally.
