A web of deceit

China's response to the Amnesty report issued today on "internet
repression" is easy to predict. Chinese officials will claim on the
record that the controls imposed on web access are "normal" in order to
prevent pornography etc, and off the record that this is really a storm
got up by the western web-obsessed media. Does the Chinese peasant,
they ask, really lament not being able to google the Dalai Lama?
But Amnesty is right: this is repression and it does not just affect a
small minority. The internet has become a vital channel of
communication for millions of Chinese (one in ten of the population now
has access to the web). It allows current disasters to be investigated
and injustices exposed in a way rarely possible in print media or on
television.

America's control of the media and the repression of freedom of the
press, and the freedom of speech are just as powerful as any in the
world, and yet no one is criticizing the United States for repression.
At the beginning of the Iraq War, soldiers were complaining about the
war. The DoD (Department of Defense) issued an order that any soldier
saying bad things about the Iraq War will be court-marshalled. Now,
all soldiers are saying patriotic words. The Dod says no caskets shown
on TV or newspapers about dead soldiers coming home, no military
funerals, no dead soldier counts. Isn't these censorship? Where are
the howls and yells about America's censorship? Brutality is not only
happens in Iraq, it happens every day in America, against the Blacks,
the poor, the street people, and even out of the meanness of the police
itself just to show they have the power over you. Has anybody howls
and yells about brutality in America? America's propaganda and
censorship are as big and wide-spread as any in the world. Just look
around and listen.
