And Freedom of Speech and Press?

That's another point, a very important one, since journalists are there to inform, to tell us more or less what's happening in the world!

Unfortunately there a great conspiracy against journalists, how many have been killed in the past? In the recent past? In dictatorial countries, and even in countries in development, where political leaders don't want to expose the reality of their country, erasing those parasites aka journalists is part of the authorities' job!

But I'm not saying nothing that you don't know already, right?


So, as an example, we have the case of a journalist in Iraq, threatened to death by the brother-in-law of the Iraqi President,Halo Ahmed, just because this wise man thought that the reporter was insulting his late father! And this was just a threat... By the way, let's see if he doesn't show up to be dead by next week!

Oh: His apologies...:

"It was 11:30 at night when I read his article," said Ahmed. "I was really upset that he had written about my father in an insulting way.
"I had a terrible reaction and I wrote those nasty words, which now I regret."

Sooo heartbreaking! Can't you start crying please?

In Rwanda, freedom of expression is also under attack. Amnesty International is concerned at the ongoing persecution of, and violent attacks against, journalists and members of the civil society in Rwanda, but specially journalists, who fear death because of writing agains the Rwandan Patriotic Front. Amazing is the fact that the authorities just don't want to deal with it. So, as I said, journalists aka parasites. As they are the pest, nothing is lost if they get killed.

More famous are, of course, the menaces against western journalists in more civilized countries, because you surely don't get to know what is happening where God lost hope anyway!

Ana Politkovskaya, a russian journalist and great human rights activist, was shot 4 times and fell dead on the floor, in front of her house! As you see, a journalist only gets killed if he defends the primary values of the western world.

So we could face the Chinese ban on reporters as a good thing, even though not democratic, they keep away from fire and they don't get burned, and so may stay calmly at home researching about the US and the Middle East, that's stuff enough to publish anyway!

No, really! How is that possible, as you can see on worldinahurry.blogspot.com??

How can you isollate a country in the 21st century???

Unbelievable, unconceivable! Where are the U.S.? Oh, sure, they don't have interests in men and rice! But where are the United Nations? How can China still be recognized and taken seriously?

Anyway...
