TIBET EXPLAINER
Many people had a shared experience together watching the solar eclipse. For many people, this is a very spiritual time. So their minds may turn to things of spiritual matter.

The first morning to follow this event, I awoke at 4:22 AM with a burden of communication. I will often wake at that hour with concerns that exceed my personal ability to control in life. So that often becomes the natural hour to meet with the Creator.
The matter of China in Tibet is one such matter.
The falsehood of double standards, and living among those who pass them along like counterfeit currency to work on hard intractable issues, is one of the great thorns of our time. First, let me give you an example of what it might be like to work in a culture that loves double standards.
You get in an elevator that has ten buttons and ten floors but only reliably lifts you to the 5th floor. Your meeting is on the 8th floor. So you have to get there early and walk deliberately up three flights of stairs without sweat and pose as comfortable. Everyone in the building knows it’s this way. If anyone complains about it, for being ignorant of the issue expecting normalcy, they are mistreated. No one fixes the elevator.
I believe in inspiring people to draw their own conclusions. I do this by asking questions. Why don’t they fix the elevator? The problem isn’t a problem for someone. The hindrance is a sadistic solution, a deliberate obstruction continued by an incompetent leader.
The US has many active conflicts raging all over the planet. They are passed along on a sanctimonious bleeding-heart conveyor belt of concurrent deceptive narratives to manufacture a form of mass public consent. For now, that amounts to the ambivalent hostage government-budget theater started during the Obama administration. That is like our elevator, alongside a proxy war in Ukraine with Russia and a protracted battle based on deliberate moral ambivalence by Israel and Palestine area.
Your fiscal green light is used for weapons to achieve “humanitarian” aims abroad. No one has to use a bomb in a heavily populated area to achieve a humanitarian aim. The aim is simply war objective dominance dressed in simple deceit and moralistic propaganda. That’s all it ever was. The leaders agree to lie to everyone about it, because they say they need the war to keep going. They use war cause to leverage undue controls onto the otherwise free public at home. They are nursing a variety of conflicts abroad and a cold civil war conflict with their own people.
The US often pretends to be threatened militarily by China, while selling them surveillance intelligence and buying a variety of their military intelligence service software, hardware and military technology parts for our own planes and operations here in the US. This is harming the domestic interests of both parties. There is active division in the Congress about the role of business decoupling and sanctions measures to curb China’s aggressions aimed at the US.
I argue if China is actively undermining US and North American domestic populations with narco-communist warfare, political corruption, bribery and ideological communitarian cultural subversion they don’t deserve any more business from the Americas.
China is engaged in at least two well-documented genocides among target, colonial and native territories: the Uighur populations of Xianjiang, and of course, the hidden high pinnacle of this outrage, Tibet.
Tibet’s genocide is of great moral concern to this author. While they endure great violence to their culture and suffer harm every day, their top political demand is peace. Their people are traditionally a deeply spiritual people from an ancient tribal culture sharing history with neighboring Bhutan and Nepal of India.
They are being harmed daily. Their religious freedom and culture is in perpetual danger of being decimated by iconoclastic destruction on behalf an egotistical socialist government, The People’s Republic of China. The real motivation for their presence is to divert water resources by force or deception to mainland PRC.
Last month around 1,000 villagers and area monks were arrested for protesting. Many have been since released but they have continued detention of the monks.
In addition to hiding away religious leaders, the PRC has increased aggression towards India, asserting land and water claims in the Arunachal Pradesh.
NEW DELHI–Days after China reiterated its claim to the Indian territory of Arunachal Pradesh in India’s eastern Himalayan sector, the United States voiced strong opposition to the claim. The exchange came as Beijing once again revised its maps of the region, christening dozens of places in the Indian state with new Chinese names.
“The United States recognizes Arunachal Pradesh as Indian territory, and we strongly oppose any unilateral attempts to advance territorial claims by incursions or encroachments, military or civilian, across the Line of Actual Control,” U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said in response to a question during daily news briefings on March 20.
Arunachal Pradesh is a Himalayan Indian territory, adjacent to Bhutan and on the border with Burma (also known as Myanmar). It is an important seat of Tibetan Buddhism, home to many important monasteries—including some that were established hundreds of years ago. It shares more than 700 miles of disputed border with Tibet, which is ruled by China as the Tibet Autonomous Region.
So this is a two fold strategy seeking to demoralize religious harbor of Tibetan monks in exile, like the Dalai Lama and to dominate Tibet’s water supply.
It is highly possible, as much confidence as I have in the United States, I don’t trust the United States with ancient civilizations after witnessing the ham-handed way they handled Iraqi relics and antiquities in the middle east for both lack of terrorist deterrence and loss of control to the black market. I would not readily recruit them to engage in direct military aid to Tibet for that reason.
“These aren’t just sacred places,” said 82-year-old Lama Tashi, a spiritual adviser to the Save Mon Region Federation, a group led by over 700 monks. “If we buy into false promises of progress by politicians and big businesses, our identity and Indigenous traditions will be destroyed forever.” - Religious News
So it’s very serious.
The United States still has other resources to assist Tibet and the region, but their strategy has not been very forthcoming yet. Tibet has to look to regional partners and other Western allies like the UK and Shengen to assist them for counterbalance to China’s colonial encroachment of middle Asia’s international rivers.
When I pray for Tibet, I pray the will of God and I pray that China will leave.
That is what I can do for now. When I can do more, give more I will do it.
Please pray for Tibet and China. Also seek wise counsel to get China to diplomatically remove their interests from the region.
And from so many places (and from so many smart people, Matt Ehret among them) how the Non-People’s Non-Republic of China is a universal source of goodness and endless win-win agreements. But who has actually READ the fine print AND checked the translation of those agreements?
