2008, with subtitle: "WHICH country's interests are best served by an
uprising in Tibet on the eve of the Beijing Olympics?" The last sentence
of the article: "China is not perfect, but nor are the Dalai Lama and
the Free Tibet crowd, who are being used as pawns by the US." http://www.news.com.au/mercury/story/0,22884,23423457-5006550,00.html

** Asia Times said on March 26, 2008 that "Large quantities of former
Eastern bloc small arms and explosives have been reportedly smuggled into
Tibet over the past 30 years, but these are likely to remain safely hidden
until the right opportunity presents itself. The weapons have been acquired
on the world markets or from stocks captured by US or Israeli forces.
They have been sanitized and are deniable, untraceable back to the CIA."

** MAKING TIBET A RUNNING SORE and A NUISANCE to the CHINESE:
The former CIA Executive Assistant, Sam Halpern, said "the whole idea
was to keep Chinese occupied ... annoyed, ... disturbed. No body wanted
to go to war over Tibet. ... And so, it was nuisance operation, ... it
wouldn't cost very much, not even money or manpower. ... it was Tibetan
manpower. We were willing to help Tibetans from becoming a running sore
and a nuisance to the Chinese" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcGCjo...
** "Students For A Free Tibet" (STF") website: "SFT's programs focus on
two main areas: hard-hitting campaigns to make China's occupation of Tibet
too costly to maintain, and training to help students become successful
leaders and activists for Tibet": http://studentsforafreetibet.org/sect...
** From 1959 to at least 1970, the Tibetan government in exile received
$1.7 million (or $11.6 million in 2006 dollar) a year from CIA. The money
is used to pay the terrorist activities against China. Dalai Lama himself
was on CIA's payroll until 1974, reportedly receiving $180,000 a year
($897,000 in 2006 dollar). The funds were paid to him personally. National
Endowment for Democracy ("NED") has taken over to finance Dalai Lama after
1970, and there is no record in public domain that shows how much money
have been funneled to Dalai Lama since then. http://www.theage.com.au/news/busines... http://www.indianexpress.com/res/web/...
