Obama meets the Dalai Lama. Will DU accuse him of supporting a coup in Tibet?

There are a lot of mineral reserves in Tibet that a lot of extraction companies would love to get their hands on. This "Dalai Lama" figure is actually a tool of the western elite, as shown by his meeting the AEI (note how that's a mining trade journal reporting this... hmmm?).

Furthermore, the Dalai Lama has tried to decrease Australian mining, allegedly for environmental reasons but no doubt to increase commodity prices.

I don't think a coup is what they want.

(Sorry, I may have been too subtle; I'm making fun of some of the more conspiratorial pro-Maduro and pro-Yanukovych posters.)

Have you ever read Bolivar's address at Angostura? I'm reading it now. A friend from Caracas sent it to me in the original Spanish. It's amazing.

Liberation movements are rarely popular with the ruling regime over an oppressed people.

It's certainly not getting the attention that was hoped for.
