		<description>Thank you for telling me that Bella. I was shocked! We ran the gamut from running dogs (still haven&#039;t figured that one out), to Nancy Pelosi, Darth Vader, loser, uneducated, little lady. I can&#039;t even remember all of them. 

Now you have told me about AsiaSat. My Grandmother used to say that she had seen the greatest century, and she really didn&#039;t want to see anymore. I&#039;m 48 now, and I understand that remark perfectly. All civilizations rise and fall, and if America doesn&#039;t do something quick we are going down. That&#039;s just the truth. The majority of Americans can&#039;t conceive of that, but look where they get their new from. 

Reminds me of that song by Gary Jules called &quot;Mad World!&quot;

Thanks again, Bella

		<description>Hi Dena,

I read your posts on another thread about faking Olympic ceremony events. You are a righteous person and you are very logical. There are many CCP paid internet bloggers all over the place. Therefore there thread was polluted by those people. I was shock how people can be so unreasonable when I first joint the global internet environment, until friends from China told me there are these kind of people. Don&#039;t be upset by them. People read between blogs :)
By the way, you mentioned that NBC helping China to censor Chinese people. Do you know that Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) recently moved Voice of America and Radio Free Asia to CCP controlled and operated satellite AsiaSat? Isn&#039;t it hilarious? Now American government is helping CCP to censor Chinese people!

		<description>Well now that you mentioned the football season, we have that, too. Usually elections are in November unless something unusual comes up. Our football starts around August and ends in January. 

In the town I live in, the media is influenced by the people selling land. People don&#039;t want to move to an area where crime is out of control, so they either don&#039;t report it or report it on the 10:00 p.m. news or during the weekend when people are not watching.

This city has a lot of the research and development for the military. We have engineers coming here in herds it seems like to get in on the money. So our economy locally is sound, as long as there is a war. I am not for war which means I&#039;m not going to vote for someone who is. That puts me in the minority here. :-( 

We had a senator that represented our area in the decisions made in the capitol issues who is retiring. The man who wants to take his place has stated that he will keep jobs in our area. How can he do that, Paula, if he doesn&#039;t support the war? He can&#039;t!

A senator who goes to Washington, D.C. is supposed to make decisions that are good for the United States of America not what the local people want (which is to continue to have a lot of government jobs based on the war). 

I live a short distance from this military base, a damn, 2 nuclear plants, NASA, an airport, and all these war technology companies. We have explosions going off everyday. I never know what to expect. After the 9/11 terrorist attack, it was very tense around here. You can imagine that every explosion was questioned. Now I just question the really really loud ones. I have to laugh at the absurdity of it all, or I would cry!

I would love to hear back from you Paula. I have a bit of advice I have already learned on this site. If you should encounter people that say mean things to you, don&#039;t let them discourage you. Say what you have to say, and ignore that. Keep speaking up! I wouldn&#039;t call them names because then you are on their level, and you are above all that nonsense. Always keep speaking the truth no matter what, Paula! 

Peace To Us All,
Dena</description>

		<description>Thank you very much, Dena

Isn&#039;t it remarkable that elections always much either the Olympic Games or the World Cup? In Brazil, national elections are every 4 years, always a few months after the World Cup. Being a country passionate for football, it means that the political debate is always left for later - usually when it is too late.

		<description>I agree Ms. Goes. Here in the United States we are receiving the same type of coverage in the mainstream media. The National Broadcasting System (NBC) basically bid on the coverage of the Olympic games on our television and online. They are doing an amazing job of helping the Chinese to censor the Chinese citizens nevertheless their opinions. NBC Nightly News last night 8/12/08 seemed almost proud about the change in the Beijing area naming expensive car dealership who now have a market in China. I e-mailed them concerning this last night and of course received a standard letter that didn&#039;t address the issue.

We too have a very important presidential race going on. We also have trials from the Guantanamo Bay for supposed terrorists taking place. President Bush has been in Beijing during the crisis in Georgia is being attended to be the European Union instead. 

Basically Ms. Goes if you want to know the real news in United States you must get on the internet. Some people here are apathetic to news and politics, and it is very obvious by our standing in the world and our economy how well this is working. That is why it is so important to watch and act when world leaders attempt to censor it.  

I commend you for paying attention to those hints you received early in life. They are serving you well. I am listening! Thank You, Dena Liles</description>
