Bush Lectures Chinese Government As It Apes His Own "Free
Speech Zone" Policy
Says he stands in opposition to Communist regime's actions
as it mirrors his own Administration's

In a scenario resembling that of the pot calling the kettle black,
President Bush has hit out at the Chinese government for its crackdown
on dissent during the Olympics, while the Communist regime is
aping a "free speech zone" policy created by Bush's
own administration.
In a speech from Seoul yesterday Bush stated:
"The United States believes the people of China deserve
the fundamental liberty that is the natural right of all human
beings.
America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political
dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists.
We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly, and labour
rights not to antagonize China's leaders, but because trusting
its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to
develop its full potential."
Bush made the remarks hours before he left for Beijing to attend
tonight's Games opening ceremony. Critics have suggested that
his presence as the first US president to attend an Olympics abroad,
is providing legitimacy to the ruling Communist Party's crackdown
on freedom-of-speech advocates.

The ultimate irony of course is that the Chinese
Government, in designating
three secluded parks in Beijing as official Olympic
demonstration zones, is aping a policy created by the Bush administration
which introduced and expanded the concept of "first amendment
areas".
These Orwellian "free speech zones" were most notably
used in 2004 during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.
The areas close to the DNC in Boston consisted of concrete walls,
barriers and metal cages with barbed wire.
The areas were invisible to the Fleet Center where
the convention was held and were referred to as "Boston's
Camp X-Ray". At the time protesters converted the zone into
a mock prison camp by donning hoods and marching in the cage with
their hands behind their backs.
At the 2004 RNC in New York the zones were also employed as protestors
and innocent people were swept up in mass arrests and transferred
to then-recently closed Hudson Pier Depot at Pier 57 on the Hudson
River in Manhattan. The facility was quickly dubbed "Guantanamo
on the Hudson" as thousands were bound and paraded into a
large warehouse area behind steel caging.
More recently the power to declare "free speech
zones" has been declared by the Secret Service, who scout
locations where the U.S. president is scheduled to speak, or pass
through, target those who carry anti-Bush signs and escort them
to the free speech zones prior to and during the event.
Inevitably the zones are far away from the event
location and well away from any media spotlight.
The protest pens will once again be used at both
national party conventions later this year with local law enforcement
working with the secret service to designate the areas in Minneapolis
for the RNC and in Denver
for the DNC.
So when you hear President Bush vehemently criticizing
the Chinese for restricting protest, and being praised by the
corporate media for doing so, it is understandable that the natural
reaction is an immediate need to vomit profusely.
