China opens its long-sought Olympics spectacularly

BEIJING (AP) – China didn’t just walk onto the world stage. It soared over it. At last playing its long-sought role as Olympic host, China opened the Summer Games in spectacular fashion Friday with an extravaganza of fireworks and pageantry dramatizing its ascendance as a global power.

Wonder how the folks in Tibet felt? Or them there Gong Falungs? The Christians? The Catholics? All the dissidents that were rounded up?
This was a celebration that fully ONE FIFTH of the world’s population are enslaved! No, the world gooferment’s had their spectacle! The circus is to keep the folks at home’s mind off the misery inflicted by one relatively small group in “power” on the “power-less”.
Of special note, the NBC commentator “let one cat out of the bag”. Or, would that be one very ugly pig without it’s lipstick! The athletes are paid when they win medals, including USA’s! “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca. I wasn’t shocked; Frau Reinke was. She thought everyone was an amateur. SO these folks are just “gladiators” in a Circus. Just like old Rome.
I have no interest in the Games. We shouldn’t be worshipping at the Secular Progressive Socialist alter of illusions.
Have no illusions.
- Time will appear to standstill to foster the illusion that NBC is televising “live”.The commentator let that pig out too. Twelve hour time difference between China and say NYC. Along with the snide jab, that China only has one time zone. (Why do we have time zones anyway. If everyone used GMT, think of all the confusion that would be saved?) So basically, the Opening was taped in China a half a day before, kept from the boob tube, until NBC could show it in “prime time” making a lot of money. (No need for disclosure there.) And, the commercial breaks were put in to make it look like it was real time. Small fumbles getting back to the “action”. Allowing them to edit down to the “money makers” (i.e., countries the American audience will watch!). A real time broadcast would NOT allow them to extract big bucks from the advertisers and deceive the rubes!
- The media will hype this person or the next as the next “star” — cute, smart, tragic — whatever will stick with you; NBC has a lot of billions spent by advertisers and they have to deliver eyeballs. (The other media will help, since it might be their turn next. Anyone know what ESPN aka ABC aka Disney ran against the Olympics? Little league Baseball. Little better than a blank screen!) You think the little kid marching with Yao was there for any other purpose than to get you “on board” with the program? Ever watch that farce about a stage managed war — Wag the Dog (1997) — where they Photoshoped in the girl and baby into the firefight? Same principle!
- Medal counts will be blared at you as if they mean some national superiority. The NBC commentator let the less ugly pig out that China had focused on the 191 medals available in “sports” where more than one medal was awarded. To bolster it’s national pride. Hey, with 5T$ (United States Federal Reserve Notes — what a scam we pulled on them!), they can buy all the “national pride” they want.
- They also tugged at our national game. Reporting breathlessly that baseball and softball would be out after this year. Sure, it’ll be out. There’s a competing entity Major League Baseball making money off that. Can’t showcase a competitor. And, who’d watch a televised Olympic baseball game. That’s why “women’s beach volleyball” is in; baseball is out. In baseball, there’s no possibility of a “wardrobe malfunction” like everyone is rooting for in “woman’s beach volleyball”. Suckers!
- And, of course, the gooferment’s line of who’s good and who’s bad was also in evidence. NBC didn’t want to annoy the gooferment. Iraq got applause. Iran didn’t. Or did they? Maybe I’m suspicious, having been manipulated over and over, but does anyone remember that these folks have “laugh tracks”. What’s real and what’s not. We know they edited for time and content. What’s a little applause here and less there. Especially if it makes the Masters happy?
Call me a grump or a cynic, but I’ll be looking in other directions.
Now where are the “millionaires playing for billionaires” aka the Yankees on the tube? Oh, yeah, over on YES network, nothing is allowed to compete with NBC’s Olympics. Lucky it’s on at all. Surprised the FCC didn’t intervene.
You sheeple are so easy!

Aparently, NBC altered reality by shuffling the order of countries entering the stadium! SO the USA would “enter” later during “prime time”?
Agh!

UPDATE
Apparently the fireworks were faked?
*** begin quote ***
A complete newb writes “London’s Telegraph newspaper reports that some of the fireworks which appeared over Beijing during the television broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremony were actually computer generated. But – hold on – it’s not necessarily as bad as you think. The faked fireworks were actually set-off at the stadium, but because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter, viewers at home were shown a pre-recorded, computer-generated shot.” To me, the reasoning behind the faked display is no consolation or excuse – it seems hard to swallow that NBC was unaware of this televised deception. I’m glad that it was good-naturedly “revealed” this weekend (according to that Telegraph article), but it’s disheartening that such a large crowd can watch (in person, and around the world) such a display and have no reason to realize they’ve been duped. What about when weightier events are at issue? There’s also a slightly more detailed story at sky.com.

Frau Reinke was upset because she liked them. Now that she knows they were tinkered with … she wonders what else has been “touched”? Like Obama’s borth certificate, the question is why?

Apparently the opening anthem was faked as well!

Chinese officials have admitted deceiving the public over another highlight of the Olympic opening ceremony: the picture-perfect schoolgirl who sang as the Chinese flag entered the stadium was performing to another girl’s voice.

6 Reasons Today’s Olympic Swimmers are Breaking so many World Records
by Diana Wolf – August 13, 2008 – 9:17 AM
In this article, the fact that the pool is deeper speeding up the athlete swimmers. Just one more way the rubes are fooled. And, the Phelps money is further exposed.
Suckers!

Massive Cheating by China at the Olympics
Rick Moran
*** begin quote ***
There is absolutely no doubt – none, zero, zilch – that the Chinese “women’s” gymnastics team featured several little girls no older than 14 years of age – two years younger than the international federation allows for competition. Online registrations of these girls list one age, their passports list another. This is blatant cheating – no other word for it.
