The police investigation into the text message is still underway. A reporter from Chinese Business View (华商报) inquired about it yesterday and was told that it's a secret ongoing investigation and that police would not answer any questions about this aspect of the case: 昨天下午，记者致电昆明市公安局新闻发言人办公室，就“预警短信”一事再次求证，办公室工作人员以案件正在侦破中为由，谢绝回答有关这方面的问题。 随后有接近专案组的人士告诉记者，对“预警短信”的调查，警方正在秘密进行中。 http://www.sunny666.com/end1.asp?id=9240&menu=新闻回顾 I have not been able to identify other Kunming recipients of the 蝼蚁总动员 message after searching through numerous Kunming based blogs.

One day back in April, Budha came to my dream and told me what I did was against humanity. Please no more killings. I veto bus bombings. I should NOT have listened to you two. Bush: Dude, relax, come on I legally killed one million of those muslim scums. The Americans still support me and like me. I feel great for being a Bush, because I can preach human rights violation and bully China about it. On the other hand I can kill legally and get away with it. I thought I was just dreaming, but those European nutheads actually followed my lead on bullying the 2008 olympics. Ha, a bunch of ginea pigs! So what's it gonna cost bombing two bus-loads of brainless chinks???? It's less than 1 millionth of a penny compared with the Iraq war. Pelosi: [giggles] I like the choice of words. Dalai: Hey that's NOT nice. I am not Han, but I still have yellow skin and dark hair and dark brown eyes. Should I remind you that I am oriental/Asian race. Pelosi: Well, you do not want to be Han, and neither are you Indian. You are in between. Hm, let's call you Sand-Nigger Chinks for half Indian and half Han. Bush: Of all the botox-injected-face mistresses I have, you are my favorite. Come here for hug bitch! Dalai: you are so racists. Bush and Pelosi: [laughing at the same] (Nance's face hardly moves becaues of too much botox) what do you expect? We are the God-send superior race. It's our job to watch you low-life monkeys. Dalai: I thought I teach you both that Budha believes all beings are created equal. Bush: [cracking up] Pelosi: [rolles her eyes] You actually think we buy that? Come on Dalai, we only used you to tick off China for our sakes. You naive sand-nigger chinky monk. Bush: getting back to bus bombings. Do not back out now. Without me and my financial supports, do you think you can be famous? Dalai: [hesitates] you are putting me on the spotlight again. Dam you Anglo! Alright, but promise me this is the last time that we kill people. Bush: [rolled his eyes] No, if killing can bring usa benefits, I will do it. My ancestors and predecessors have killed and killed to claim this land. We will not stop bloodshed in the name of making the world the white men's world. And that's my forthfathers', mine, and our future presidents' duty to kill in order to sustain the wealth of this country.

There's an ordinary young girl in Liaoning who agrees with me: 你知道这个地震呢到底怎么回事儿呢？ 我分析吧， 就是说人吧，做事儿呢不能太过分。 你知道吧， 象你们四川吧， 前一阵儿不都抵制法国货吗。。。 Why are you talking about western support for the Dalai Lama when everybody knows that the Lhasa riots in March were started by Bjork? By the way, June 4 Tiananmen Square's tragedy was linked to Mikhail Gorbachev and the Kunming bus explosions are linked to a 普洱茶 tea salesman.

I'd like to link the bus explosion incidents to tibetan youth congress, dalai, bush, brown, sakozy, and merkel et al. If the west did not support dalai in the first place, do you think we would see bomb explosions recently? I do NOT think they are farmers.

Police chief Du Min, who is also Kunming's vice mayor, denied the existence of the "ants" text message. Here are the related links from Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Boston: http://www.mpinews.com/htm/INews/20080722/ca22014c.htm http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/?id=367846&type=National http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2008/07/22/chinese_find_no_links_between_bus_blasts_olympics/ I am still trying to find a photograph of the original text message on Chinese news sites and blogs. It's so difficult to monitor breaking news in China, as the story in your link (Ants??) to the Liaoning Yilishen ant farmers incident shows as well.

I'll give Global Voices the latest scoop this time. It's not easy to monitor breaking news in China, as seen in the Liaoning Yilishen ant farm story that you provided with the "Ants??" link. This Kunming case is particularly frustrating because one would assume that the "ant mobilization" text messages are saved on a number of Kunming citizens cell phones. I have yet to find actual photos of the message on any Chinese news or blog site, but I'm still searching. Kunming police chief Du Min (who is also the city's vice mayor) is now denying the existence of any text message warning. This is currently being reported in Hong Kong newspapers as well, including "Ming Bao". Du Min also says the Kunming bus explosions have no proven links to the Yunnan rubber farmers or to any anti-Olympics terrorism. Here are the relevant links: http://news.aol.com/story/_a/no-evidence-of-terrorist-link-in-china/n20080722054209990001?ecid=RSS0001 http://china.huanqiu.com/roll/2008-07/170095.html http://www.mpinews.com/htm/INews/20080722/ca22014c.htm Thank you for mentioning my Danwei comment.
