Well rejoice, damn you, March 28 is now officially Serf’s Emancipation Day (農奴解放日 / 农奴解放日). The powers that be in China have blocked the YouTube, possibly to avoid the viewing of this particular video (although there could be a host of non Tibet-related reasons for this YT blockage). For her part, “disgusting” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is still hammering China this month about the Tibetan issue.
More locally, there’ll be a few folks in San Francisco commemorating March 28, but they won’t be in a celebratory mood. San Francisco Team Tibet has a bit of info about what will occur at the San Francisco Chinese Consulate tomorrow.
Hopefully people from one side won’t start hanging themselves off of the consulate 30 feet in the air and people from the other side won’t cut any ropes, you know, the way it went down last year on Laguna Street.
