Founder of today’s China killed 45 million of his own people

(TibetanReview.net, Sep05, 2010) Recently declassified Chinese Communist Party archives show that the Great Helmsman, Chairman Mao Tsetung's regime cased the greatest "man-made famine" the world has ever seen, reported the ANI news service Sep 3, citing a new publication from Hong Kong. Mao's Great Famine, by Frank Dikotter, Professor of Humanities at the University of Hong Kong, is reported to show that 45 million Chinese people were killed between 1958 and 1961.

Chinese propaganda posters of the late 1950s show smiling young workers marching jubilantly towards unity under the benevolent Great Leader. However, the historian is cited as saying, the reality was that workers were more likely to be found lying dead in the gutters of rundown towns or falling, weak from starvation, in the paddy fields. All around would be the stomach-churning signs of neglect, food shortages and death dealing poverty. People often risked their lives stealing grain from the fields.

The newly opened party archives are reported to show that starvation drove some peasants to actually eat the earth itself before dying. Many houses in the smaller towns were pulled down to provide building materials, with their former occupants forcibly herded into collectives, or, worse, left to live wild. Some of the elderly workers, too frail to keep up with unrealistic production quotas, were put on slow starvation diets.

The book is cited as saying Chairman Mao, who is revered by the current regime with his portrait hanging on the Tiananmen Square, was not the warm father of his people, but a foul, heartless dictator, who had thrown his country into frenzy.

And while the ordinary people of China fell into the depths of hell, corruption was reported to be rampant at every level of Chinese society – from those in Chairman Mao's own coterie (all of whom lived a luxurious life) right down to the small local officials. For example, in a town just outside Beijing, the head of a retirement home systematically stole food and clothes earmarked for the elderly, condemning them to a winter without warmth or padded jackets. Most were said to have died as soon as the frosts appeared and their bodies were left unburied for over a week.

The Rocky Mountain Locust has been extinct for over 130 years with the last great swarm in 1877.

So it is said. A recent book by University of Wyoming entomologist, Dr. Jeffry Lockwood, would belie that contention, appropriately titled: Locust. It is a study of that "extinction" with a surprising ending:

Among the grasshoppers that I have collected in Yellowstone National Park, I remember one female with spectacularly long wings. Of course, females are very difficult to identify, but she was officially recorded as Melanoplus bruneri, the closest living relative of Melanoplus spretus. I may have been wrong in my classification of that long-winged female, but mistaken identities are sometimes a saving grace for individuals whose existence may not be welcomed. Recently, I captured several similar individuals from a meadow in the park. They also appeared to be M. bruneri, although they lacked the distinctive yellow coloration on the underside that typifies this species. I think that I know who they were, so I released them back into the field. Because I did not remove them from the park, their identities and location need not be reported to the authorities.

Lockwood is your basic gay greenie deep ecologist with a passion for destroying modern civilization in the name of halting runaway "global warming." He just aches to see great clouds of trillions of locusts wrecking destruction (never mind that their numbers were augmented by the destruction of so many bison). The keys to restraining them since were overpopulated bison and elk in that part of the country trampling their egg cases along streams. Now that the government has released wolves and fenced off the streams in the name of "environmental protection" who knows what will happen?

Anything can happen, and disaster probably will happen; sometime somewhere.
We are all too comfortable with our affluent lifestyles.
But I will be prepared as I can be, but not sit up at night worrying too much.
I will spend my energy more on the political process. That is where we can prevent man made disasters.
Not a lot I can do to prevent the Yellowstone volcano from taking out much of the US.
But I can have influence over Marxists taking over our country.

Agreed! Information does help focus that effort effectively.

Amen to that. It is important to show how insidious they are. I just wanted you to know that the information is credible. From what I can tell, they may be re-establishing as far east as Nebraska (I'm working to have a photograph identified), but have yet to find an entomologist with appropriate experience, alas, J. Gordon Edwards has passed away.

Stalin, Mao, etc. learned to use famine as one of their main weapons of genocide as it was, and will always be the cheapest method to murder by the tens of millions.

When Stalin, Mao, etc. murdered by food lockdowns they would have little need for any bullets, food for their military, oil for tanks/trucks, etc. All they had to do was confiscate all guns in all areas, cover the entire nation with propaganda, then send in military groups town to town, threaten all not to farm and take all food they had, then move to next town and repeat. By the time they would come back the large percentage of towns have already died of starvation, and those still left would be too sick and weak to fight anyways.

Stalin once said “no person, no problem”.

To get rid of all “problems” of opposition to their Marxist/Socialist nations, Stalin, Mao, etc. choose to just get rid of all the people they didn’t want to even exist. Thus, no person, no problem.

History will repeat itself, the Marxists have more power now then in those times and will implement the same genocidal things again in the future, prepare yourself.

Never forget that Obama is a self-admitted communist and would easily kill every one in America to get his way.

There are still farmers who kept DDT hidden in their barns to be used just for such emergencies....

And the locust, if it is still alive in Yellowstone, will still need a much larger breeding area before it becomes a threat.

You have only to wait, or maybe not. If I am right, that has already happened, courtesy of the the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nature Conservancy...

...or should I say "BP"?

I can't say more right now until I have more definitive information.
