So every once in a while, I get some comments on my blog about the things I write.
Today I made a post about the earthquake in Iceland.
Here is a comment I received:
Only two months ago, Bjork announced on a Shanghai stage her support for a FREE TIBET. A Tibet free from China's rule and a return to the day's of leadership under the Dali Lama.
And now an earthquake strikes Bjork's homeland of Finland. Coincidence? I think not. Karma wreaks her deadly wrath despite Sharron Stone's denials.
Soon after Bjork's public proclamation, an uprising of the Dali Lama's supporters plunged Lhasa into turmoil. Rampaging monks and followers stabbed and beat many Han Chinese and ethic minority Muslims to their death. They set fire to business and homes and many died a horrific death in the flames. Many observers recorded their shock and horror in blogs and messages sent over the internet. Surprised that the mainstream news was reporting a crackdown by the Chinese authorities, while they said 'what I saw were ethnic Tibetans on a rampage, attacking any minority ethnic Chinese or Muslim and killing several'. To my surprise, NO mainstream news ever reported any of these eyewitness statements on the internet, radio, or television to my knowledge. On the contrary, they all reported only of a China Government crackdown after a (as many characterized it) 'a peaceful uprising of monks'. Even more surprising were the images presented along with the print articles and the broadcast news. Pictures of uniformed troops beating monks with batons and other images of violent action by the military/police against what are clearly unarmed monks in robes. However, almost all images clearly showed Nepal military personnel, in Nepalese uniforms. The remaining images showed personnel in India police uniforms. I am certain that almost all viewers assumed that these pictures were of Chinese Troops using undue force during the current Tibet uprising.
I could go on and describe the institutionalized slavery, rampant polygamy, class-based society which existed in traditional Tibet (akin to India, along with their 'untouchable' class). Suffice to say...
Bjork started this wave of terrorism - and KARMA RESPONDS!!!
I sincerely apologize to all Icelanders harmed by this earthquake. Both for using this tragedy as an opportunity to speak out against ignorance (albeit well-intentioned, i.e. the FREE TIBET movement). And to speak out against outright inhumanity (that a people would deserve death for a government’s actions beyond their control).
No just God, especially one characterized as a ‘Loving God’ metes out such misery upon the innocent. And no just system, whether karmic or legalistic, would choose this path of terror.
Terrible things happen, and all we should do as humans is to understand this without chasing illusions of justification for our personal ideology.
I sincerely hope everyone in Iceland affected by this earthquake can soon overcome this event.
