Slavery in China

Chinese Communist police have no trouble arresting people for daring to use the internet
or to prevent the formation of labor unions.  But somehow they "look the other way" when
factory owners run slave labor camps.

Authorities in central China said they had rescued 30 workers with severe learning difficulties used as slaves in illegal brick factories, in the nation's latest case of labor abuse.

State media on Wednesday reported that some of the victims, who were also regularly beaten, had toiled for more than seven years without pay in Henan province -- already the scene of a huge slavery scandal in 2007.
"These 30 people are mentally disabled, and were taken from their home town and tricked into working," a spokesman for the provincial police, surnamed Zhang, told AFP.

He said authorities freed them on Sunday and were in the process of locating their families. But he added that some of the victims' disabilities were so severe they were not able to identify them.

"In that case, they are being sheltered by the departments that rescued them," he said.

The official China Daily newspaper, quoting a television channel that exposed the scandal, said the victims were mostly abducted and sold to factory bosses for 300 to 500 yuan ($47 to $78).

An undercover TV station sting

The unusually public raids Monday were prompted by a report on Henan provincial television by a journalist who had gone undercover posing as a disabled man at a train station, where he was grabbed by a recruiter and says he was sold to a brick factory.

Some of the slave laborers were reported to be blind. They had been held as long as seven years, working without pay. They had been beaten with belts on the back and the groin, according to the television report.

Eight people were arrested.

The television reporter, Cui Songwang, went undercover in mid-August. He spent three hours making bricks, during which, he said, he was beaten almost constantly. One of the people who beat him with a belt was a teenager who police later said was only 14.

Liu Yuxia, a civil affairs official in Dengfeng, one of the towns where a brick kiln was raided, said it was unclear whether the rescued workers would be able to testify against the factory owners because of their mental impairment.

"The men cannot tell their story well. They can't say how long they were working or for whom. Some of them can't even tell you where they are from," she said.

53,000 migrant workers have been employed in more than
2,000 illegal brick factories in Shanxi alone.

The rescues are getting considerable publicity in Chinese media, but advocates for the disabled are not optimistic about the prospects for longer-lasting reforms.

"These cases happen again and again. The police never follow up; nothing really happens," Zhang Wei, a Beijing lawyer who runs a nonprofit organization helping the disabled, said Wednesday.

In a scandal that shocked the nation in 2007, thousands of people were found to be working without pay in brick factories in Henan and further north in Shanxi province.

They had been subjected to regular beatings and near-starvation, with the alleged collusion of some local officials and police.

Although no official numbers have been reported on how many were enslaved, a parliamentary investigation said some 53,000 migrant workers had been employed in more than 2,000 illegal brick factories in Shanxi alone.

Democrats are insane

"Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fears that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction."

By Gary;

I have come to the conclusion that the Democrats do not in any way, shape or form want a real budget deal that cuts spending and saves the nation.  They want our Constitutional Republic and the Capitalist system to implode so America can be re-built as a new and improved Marxist Worker's Paradise. 

Democrats are insane. 

Their insanity is no different from that of any Socialist in either Greece, North Korea, Spain, Cuba, Venezuela or the old Soviet Union.  All Socialists live in a pretend, namby-pamby world were money can be printed at will out of thin air, a world where you can rack up debt forever, where people do not have to work for a living, where people must be controlled in what they eat, read, smoke, the shows they watch and radio they listen to and where businessmen who create jobs and wealth are Evil.  

Add in a new form of liberal insanity:  Modern Luddite-ism.   Liberals today fight tooth and nail to stop any form of progress and non-government approved science.  NASA is virtually abolished and the light bulb is banned.  

See Exhibit A:   The Federalist: The People's Republic of California   a Socialist pretend world where everything from hamburgers to farming is to be opposed at all costs, where unionized government workers and their programs are worshiped, and where illegal aliens are eagerly imported to suck away tax money and to take jobs from American citizens.

Now we have national Democrats openly advocating ignoring the Constitution of the United States, the obstruction of justice or they talk in brain-dead first grade baby talk nonsense.    Our Federalist Founding Fathers would be so proud of the total dip-shits who have taken over the Republic they created.

Yes my friends, we are on the eve of destruction.

Liberalism is a mental disorder

The mental illness of Liberalism is spreading.

 

Mentally ill Liberal sends mystery check for $10,000 to cash strapped Los Angeles County;  donor writes 'God Bless You'


Dr. Michael Savage is right.  Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder.  Only an insane Liberal would donate $10,000 to help a "needy" government.  How these people are able to function every day, dress and feed themselves is beyond me.

To a Liberal only a "crazy" person would give money to a charity helping little orphan children in India when you can help needy SEIU members in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles County auditor-controller’s office received a $10,000 cashier’s check on May 5 from an anonymous donor in Washington state, says the Los Angeles Times. Accompanying the check was a note that read: “In this time of economic difficulties, governments need all the help they can get. Please put this anonymous check to good use. God bless you.”

The insanity of Liberalism is getting worse.  Now
the bleeding hearts give their money to
"needy" governments instead of charities
to help the poor.

Assistant Auditor-Controller John Naimo said the only way officials could know if the check was valid was if they deposited it — and to their surprise, the check cleared.

“This doesn’t exactly happen every day,” Naimo said. “People donate to the county but it’s usually done with the accompanied recognition or with a designation to a particular program. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

The money was not earmarked for anything specific, Naimo said, so it was put into the county’s general fund. Auditor-Controller Wendy Watanabe has shared the information with the Board of Supervisors and the board will be asked to acknowledge and accept the donation at a July 5 meeting.

Though officials know nothing about the donor — except that the envelope was postmarked from Everett, Wash. — Naimo said they hope the benefactor will hear of the county’s appreciation.

“If they’re paying attention to any news accounts of it, hopefully they’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that we received the money and will put it to good use,” Naimo said.
