I don’t normally watch the Olympics because I don’t care about sports. But I did catch a few minutes of the mens gymnastics last night – the part with the rings. I felt so bad for the Chinese guy who fell. The look on his face as he got up was just heartbreaking. And the expression on the coach’s face – who inexplicably was sitting with the audience – was so blank it bordered on hostile. All I could think of was, “With an expression like that on his face, somebody’s getting sent to the laogai,” and given the organ harvesting scandal, that’s beyond just ordinary, regular gulag-where-millions-have-died terrifying.
 Lethal injection when you need it, where you need it. |
Then I read this article – Q&A on the gymnast controversy – about how the Chinese are (gasp!) cheating! Ya think?! Is it possible that a nation that brutally suppresses its population in every possible way and thinks nothing of starting up an industry based on murdering Christians and other dissidents and selling their organs to foreigners who don’t want to wait for a donated organ in their home countries, a country which operates execution vans, that used to actually send a bill to the family of the deceased for the bullet used to execute their loved one… is it possible such a country might cheat at a sporting event? Yeah. I think it’s possible. Of course, none of this information was known back when they were considering China for the site of the next Olympics, or they’d NEVER have been selected to host and therefore represent Olympian ideals. Yes, it’s certainly a pity that the ChiComms were so successful at keeping all this stuff under wraps. IF ONLY WE’D KNOWN WHAT THEY WERE REALLY LIKE…
But this, now… this cheating is serious stuff, and it’s time the world stands up and holds them to account or the consequences could be severe.
But this is a different kind of cheating than doping. This would be an institutionalized cheating where a federation or a government is involved. If they are handing out false documentation, then it’s institutional cheating. That is so against the Olympic ideal. Here’s the other dangerous thing about it: They won. I mean, they won the gold medal. If the Chinese did indeed get away with handing out false documentation, who’s to say another country wouldn’t try to do the same in future Olympics?
Well, Michelle Malkin has the response from the International Olympic Committee.
