I may have done some things. But Mahayana has 10th precept to shut up, not tell anyone. |

- What's a SAD SAC? (Special Activities Division of the CIA's Special Activities Center)
The money for the Tibetans and the Dalai Lama was part of the CIA’s worldwide effort during the height of its Cold War to undermine Communist governments, particularly in the Soviet Union and China.
In fact, the U.S. government committee that approved the Tibetan operations also authorized the disastrous [JFK administration] Bay of Pigs U.S. invasion of Cuba.
CIA said they wouldn't tell anyone our secret. |
The CIA’s program encompassed support of Tibetan guerrillas [Spanish for "little militants"] in Nepal, a covert military training site in Colorado, USA, “Tibet Houses” [like the one run by Uma Thurman's dad, Columbia U Prof. Robert Thurman, tibethouse.us?] established to promote Tibetan causes in New York and Geneva, education for Tibetan operatives at Cornell University, and supplies for reconnaissance [spying] teams.
I like Republican Bush warlords. His father was CIA director, and CIA funded our war. |
Prize-winning anti-war journalist monitored by U.S. gov't and assassinated by the CIA. |
Wake up. The Western media is controlled by CIA with an endless stream of lies and denials. |
“The purpose of the program...is to keep the political concept of an autonomous Tibet alive within Tibet and among foreign nations, principally India, and to build a capability for resistance against possible political developments inside Communist China,” explains one memo written by top U.S. intelligence officials.
Relationship Was Mutually Beneficial
Maybe I too hard on Shugden |
At the time of the intelligence operation, the CIA was seeking to weaken Mao Tse-tung’s hold over China.
And the [militant] Tibetan exiles were looking for help to keep their [militant] movement alive after the Dalai Lama and his supporters fled Tibet following an unsuccessful 1959 revolt against Chinese rule.
- Oops, maybe militancy and aligning with the CIA is a bad idea for Buddhist monks: Failed 1959 Tibetan armed rebellion (also called)
I friend of Pres. Bush. I'm trying to be consistent |
But until now, Washington D.C. has refused to release any information about the CIA’s Tibetan operations [and its financial deals with their current or former CIA Operative the Dalai Lama]. More
Stone was criticized over her comments in an exchange on the red carpet with Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on May 25, 2008.
When asked about the 2008 Sichuan earthquake she remarked: "Well...I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do about that because I don't like that. And...how should we deal with the Olympics because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, 'Is that karma?' When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?" [124]
One of China's biggest cinema chains reacted to the Basic Instinct actress's comments by declaring it would not show her films in its theaters [125].
The founder of the UME Cineplex chain and the chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, Ng See-yuen, called Stone's comments "inappropriate" and said the UME Cineplex chain would no longer present her films [125].
Dior [the fashion house that just dumped long-time brand ambassador Bella Hadid, who is half-Palestinian and speaking up for Gaza, and replaced her with pro-Israeli Jewish model May Tager] advertisements featuring Stone's image were dropped from all ads in China amid the public uproar [126].
Stone was removed from the 2008 Shanghai International Film Festival guest list, and the event's organizers considered banning the actress permanently [127].
Dior China had originally posted an apology in Stone's name, but Stone later denied making the apology during an interview with The New York Times, saying "I'm not going to apologize. I'm certainly not going to apologize for something that isn't real and true – not for face creams," but she was willing to admit that she had "sounded like an idiot" [128] and then she apologized:
After the interview, Stone released a statement entitled "In my own words by Sharon Stone" in which she said "I could not be more regretful of that mistake. It was unintentional. I apologize. Those words were never meant to be hurtful to anyone" [129].
While Stone cited the Dalai Lama as her "good friend" when she made the remark at the Cannes film festival, the Dalai Lama [ever the slick politician] has reportedly distanced himself by saying of her only, "Yes, I've met that lady" [130]. More
