The Albert Einstein Institution: non-violence according to the CIA

In 1989, when the Albert Institution became well known, Gene Sharp began to advice anticommunist movements. He participated in the establishment of Burma’s Democratic Alliance – a coalition of notable anticommunists that quickly joined the military government – and Taiwan’s Progressive Democratic Party – which favored the independence of the island from communist China, something U.S. officially opposed. He also unified the Tibetan opposition under Dalai Lama and tried to form a dissident group within PLO so that Palestinian nationalists would stop terrorism [4] (he made the necessary arrangements with Colonel Reuven Gal, [5] director of the Psychological Action division of the Israeli armed forces, to train them secretly in the American Embassy in Tel Aviv).

Canadian MPs unanimously reject China’s sovereignty over Tibet

I wonder who gave them this idea? /s

Canadian parliamentarians have unanimously voted for a non-binding motion, put forward by Bloc Québécois MP Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe, that refers to Tibetans as “a people and a nation” who should get self-determination. This, having occurred on June 10, 2024, is a fundamental rejection of China’s sovereign control of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and an indisputable attack on China’s sovereignty.

Speaker Pema Jungney disapproves, rejects Guo Wengui’s ‘new federal state of China’

Speaker Pema Jungney called out “retired Chinese football star Hao Haidong and fugitive Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui” over their proposed founding of a “New Federal State of China,” as he pointed out that the duo “announced the formation of a non-governmental organization called ‘Himalaya Supervisory Organization’ along with a stretch banner for it and condemned them for unilaterally including “the great nation of Tibet in their proposed new federal state of China” as well as for using “disrespectful terms in referring to His Holiness the Dalai Lama,” for hurling a “multitude of epithets against the Tibetan people living in exile.”
