IOC Gives the Tyrants in Beijing a Big Thumbs-Up!
It’s really tough for me to explain exactly how digusted this story makes me.
BEIJING (Reuters) – Beijing’s preparations for the Olympics were hailed as a “gold standard for the future” on Tuesday, a month before the opening ceremony, while China said its critics could not prevent the success of the Games.
“The quality of preparation, the readiness of the venues and the attention to operational detail for these Games have set a gold standard for the future,” he said in a statement after two days of meetings with organizers.
“What our hosts have achieved is exceptional. For the Games to be an overriding success — and the IOC has an underlying confidence this will unquestionably be the case — the organizers need now to deliver the services pledged for … the various stakeholders who have begun to arrive for the Games.”
What puling cowardice. The men who run China are a band of butchers with a pedigree of horror unmatched on this planet. No rational human being can look at that country and think it a fitting place for the celebration of the human spirit, not when so many hundreds of thousands of spirits are being crushed this very day by the thugs in Beijing.
Shame on you, IOC, for giving these men the opportunity to further cement their power. Shame on you for turning your back on cries of protest that in the past few months, to prepare for your spectacle, have been choked by the bootheel on their throats.
