the Uigher uprising is orchestrated by Washington based Wolrd Uyghur Congress (WUC) led by Rebiya Kadeer, a Uighar millionaire who left china.It is funded by National Endowment for Democracy (NED) which funded the Tibet uprisings, the color revolutions, and the Iran Solen Election. As usual, the motivation is oil.
There is an enormous amount of oil and gas near the Caspian sea, lots of it owned by Kazackistan and Turkmanistatn. It has to flow to China through pipelines through the Uighur province of Xingchiang.
NED sponsors terroist groups that destablisze countries for strategic reasons, in this case to interupt the pipelines, and mar the Chinese revolutionary celebration just as the Tibet uprising did the Chinese Olympics. so to kick off an uprising, the Tibetian monks killed a number of Chinese, just as Uighar agents killed about a 150 Han Chinese this time.
the mainstream American media, such as truthdig, keep silent about the geostrategic implications of these uprisings, since they are largely conduits for the offical American line. Since the America population do not have their own media that promotes their own interests, they are systematically deceived by the mainstream media. As in this case the Uighurs.

The way I look at is the natives of central and south americas have seniority here, over the “white man with preachers, liquor, guns and blankets filled with smallpox.”

For too long the Uighurs have suffered under Han colonialists. I hope the world can now see their suffering… I am glad that Goodman has focused on this issue. On that note, let us not forget that India is doing something similar in Nepal and Bhutan. At least in Nepal the number of Indian migrants who do not share Nepali culture or lannguage have been so huge the Nepalese feel marginalized.

Perhaps the chinese government view these people as terraforming misfits. Another terraforming dilemma is occuring in california. I’m refering to the illegal immigrants. This Brings up cultural issues that will never be resolved.
