Mitt Romney helps China persecute Christians -
03-18-2012, 06:41 PM
New York Times:
" BEIJING — As the Chinese government forges ahead on a multibillion-dollar effort to blanket the country with surveillance cameras, one American company stands to profit: Bain Capital, the private equity firm founded by Mitt Romney. ...human rights advocates say in China they are also used to intimidate and monitor political and religious dissidents. “There are video cameras all over our monastery, and their only purpose is to make us feel fear,” said Loksag, a Tibetan Buddhist monk in Gansu Province. He said the cameras helped the authorities identify and detain nearly 200 monks who participated in a protest at his monastery in 2008.
Mr. Romney reported on his August disclosure forms that he and his wife earned a minimum of $5.6 million from Bain assets held in their blind trusts and retirement accounts. Bain employees and executives are also among the largest donors to his campaign, and their contributions accounted for 10 percent of the money received over the past year by Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney “super PAC.”
Bain’s decision to enter China’s fast-growing surveillance industry raises questions about the direct role that American corporations play in outfitting authoritarian governments with technology that can be used to repress their own citizens.
It also comes at a delicate time for Mr. Romney, who has frequently called for a hard line against the Chinese government’s suppression of religious freedom and political dissent...
Chinese cities are rushing to construct their own surveillance systems. Chongqing, in southwest China, is spending $4.2 billion on a network of 500,000 cameras, according to the state news media. Guangdong Province, the manufacturing powerhouse adjacent to Hong Kong, is mounting one million cameras. In Beijing, the municipal government is seeking to place cameras in all entertainment venues, adding to the skein of 300,000 cameras that were installed here for the 2008 Olympics.
By marrying Internet, cellphone and video surveillance, the government is seeking to create an omniscient monitoring system, said Nicholas Bequelin, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch in Hong Kong. “When it comes to surveillance, China is pretty upfront about its totalitarian ambitions,” he said.
For the legion of Chinese intellectuals, democracy advocates and religious figures who have tangled with the government, surveillance cameras have become inescapable.
Yang Weidong, a politically active filmmaker, said a phalanx of 13 cameras were installed in and around his apartment building last year after he submitted an interview request to President Hu Jintao, drawing the ire of domestic security agents....
“The scale of intrusion into people’s private lives is unprecedented,” she said in a phone interview. “Now when I walk on the street, I feel so vulnerable, like the police are watching me all the time.”

Brother Jeb, maybe I'm missing something here, but didn't that story say that the Chinese were using the cameras to monitor a Buddhist monastery? I'm not sure what's worse, a Buddhist or a Mormon or a Chinaman or a commie, but somebody has to keep an eye on the Buddhists to keep them from practicing witchcraft and committing sins so vile that I can't even mention them here in mixed company.

The article is from the Jew York Times - if they had used Christians as an example, the Jew Yorkers would have awarded Mitt Romney a medal.
But of course the Jew York times will only shed tears over Lamaists, with their insane superstitions:
“If scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.” -Dalai Lama XIV
Insane! But the Chinese government/Mitt Romney is not spying on them to prevent heresy. The Chinese government/Mitt Romney is spying on them to keep the The Chinese government in power and the business partners of the Chinese government (ie Mitt Romney) rich.

I'm warming up to Mitt Romney, I heard that, after a lot of haggling at a fundraiser, he promised that Pastor Deacon Fred will be his running mate.
No, I'm not delusional with desperation. I was told by someone who swore that the truth is in his heart.

Well that settles it then. Mittens is the one to take back The White House for REAL America, were it belongs.
As Mitt's wife said; once Mitt unzips it we will see the real Romney.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

On second thought, I don't care about those Chinese dissident whiners any more. They think they're so smart, but then, didn't Confutious or Sun Zeus say to "pick your battles wisely"?

I would am rather perturbed at the people defending the Mormon religion. I don't see how you can do that with out putting you own faith into question and demeaning your god and your faith. I don't think many people see how serious this transgression really is.
Mormons KNOW (in their own mind) that their church is true and this one isn't.
for example:
"Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the Church of the Lamb of God [i.e.. the Mormon Church] and the other is the church of the devil [i.e.. the Christian Church]; wherefore whosoever belongeth not to the church of the lamb of God belongeth to that great church; which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth." (The Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 14:10).
"...I must join none of them [Christian Churches], for they were all wrong...that all their creeds were an abomination in His sight" (Joseph Smith History 1:19).
"We must come unto Christ by being baptized into his Church. Only in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can we find all the truths that will help us return to our Father in Heaven. Only in the true Church of Christ can we find the authority to perform the necessary gospel ordinances." (The Restoration: Study Guide, p. 5).
"This is the only true church ...This is not a church. This is the Church of Jesus Christ. There are churches of men all over the land and they have great cathedrals, synagogues, and other houses of worship running into the hundreds of millions of dollars. They are churches of men. They teach the doctrines of men, combined with the philosophies and ethics and other ideas and ideals that men have partly developed and partly found in sacred places and interpreted for themselves" (Spencer W. Kimball, Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, p.421)
ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!!!!! (WHAT ABOUT YOUR BIBLE?)
"The Bible of the Old World has come to us from the manuscripts of antiquity - manuscripts which passed through the hands of uninspired men who changed many parts to suit their own doctrinal ideas. Deletions were common, and, as it now stands, many plain and precious portions and many covenants of the Lord have been lost. As a consequence, those who rely upon it alone stumble and are confused..." (Bruce R. McConkie, "Come: Hear the Voice of the Lord," The Ensign, December 1985, p 55).
"The Church [the LDS Church] reveres and respects the Bible, but recognises that it is not a complete nor entirely accurate record..." (Holy Bible, King James Version. Located at the back of the LDS KJV of the Bible, p. 624).
"Through the Prophet Joseph Smith,...we learn that the Bible does not contain all that God revealed anciently, nor did it arrive in our day without inaccuracies." (Kent P. Jackson, Ensign, 2/95, p. 63).
Are you really considering legitimizing the religion of a connman by voting for slick haired political whine bag like Romney? How did he get this far? It's the work of the devil I tell ya! I am not about to trade one poison for a worse poison. I would rather keep my faith clean and not betray that for some soggy political reason. (I will not vote against god in this way)

Sadly, the other option is the Muslim already IN the White House.

Romney's on the brink of revealing his True Christian™ credentials, I can feel it. How else could actual proper Baptists endorse him?

I wouldn't count Rominee to do anything against his faith. I biblicaly can't vote for Rominee, but I do think the is a second white guy I can vote for. I remember the good old days when we had this problem segregated.

Romney to speak at NAACP next month
Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney will address the largest black civil rights group in the United States next month, the NAACP said Tuesday.
Romney, who squares off against President Barack Obama in November's election, will attend the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, set for July 7-12 in Houston, Texas.
Romney was invited to address the convention shortly after he clinched his party's presidential nomination last month, NAACP spokesman Derek Turner said.
The organization is also hoping Obama, the country's first African-American president, will attend the event. Both he and Senator John McCain addressed the NAACP when they were candidates for the presidency in 2008.
Romney's campaign confirmed he accepted the invitation to speak at the annual convention but provided no further details.
Turner told AFP he expects Romney to "address civil rights" during his speech, "as they are in line with our mission."

Maybe Myth can show everyone the photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Myth's dad marching together in a Civil Rights Parade ...
and some more photos of when Myth's family invited Dr. King's family to the local LDS meeting place ... where Joseph Smith was always on record as saying that all Races (especially Blacks) were the very love of God's heart ...
One thing's for sure, however ...
All those Gay Black Men at the NAACP Convention will certainly have a warm, wet gushy handshake for Myth ... since he signed America's first GAY Marriage law into effect ...
and they can all celebrate with a special lunch ... with Barney Frank and Richard Simmons as the "White-and-Delightsome" (it's a mormon thing) guests of honor ...
What's even better is if Myth runs into any Black Moslems at the NAACP Convention ...
Since Joseph Smith proclaimed himself the SECOND MOHAMMED ... Myth will certainly lots in common with the guys who worship the FIRST MOHAMMED ...
Even Bob Hope and Don Rickles couldn't make this stuff up ...

We have every reason to believe that "Gott Mittens?" Romney will have a "Saul" moment before January 20, 2013.

I'd like my fellow True Christians™ to consider that Jesus told us that as we forgive those who have sinned agaisnt us, so will our sins be forgiven. Yes, Mitt Romney did some terribly unbiblical things as governor of Massachusetts, and he is a member of a fake Christian cult, but isn't it time for us to recognize that, through the sweet-smelling blood of Christ Jesus, even Mitt Romney can be redeemed, now that he's a "severe conservative?"
At the end of the day, isn't forgiveness what Landover Baptist Church is really all about?
