Michael Parenti -Old Tibet / Dalai Lama is not all he's cracked up to be?

http://aboutwss.org/ebook In this interview, Michael Parenti reveals the truth about the history of Tibet and the Dalai Lama. His new book God and His Demons reveals the dark side of the Dalai Lama.

Below is an excerpt:


"Until 1959, when the Dalai Lama last presided over Tibet, most of the arable land was still organized into manorial estates worked by serfs and owned by monasteries and secular landlords... The commander in chief of the Tibetan army, a member of the Dalai Lama's lay Cabinet, owned 4,000 square kilometers of land and 3,500 serfs. Old Tibet has been misrepresented by some of its admirers as "a nation that required no police force because its people voluntarily observed the laws of karma." In fact, it had a professional army, albeit a small one, that served mainly as a gendarme for the landlords to keep order and hunt down runaway serfs."

http://aboutwss.org/ebook The truth about feudalism in Tibet and the Dalai Lama's connections with the CIA came out in the Russia Today interview with the historian and author Dr. Webster Tarpley about the Dalai Lama's upcoming meeting with Barack Obama.

Just do some intensive research yourself:

Michael Parenti is an American political scientist, historian, and author. He received his Ph.D. in political science from Yale University. His works have been translated into at least eighteen languages. His book, "The Assassination of Julius Caesar, A People's History of Ancient Rome", was selected as a Book of the Year for 2004 by Online Review of Books and Current Affairs.

"He (the Dalai Lama) headed a social system that was exploitative, terribly terribly unequal, and terribly brutal."

"You had a privileged priest class, living in utter luxury and opulence, and you had a mass of serfs living in utter misery."

"His holiness would tell you that he must return to power for the good of his people. In this case "good" may translate to his people living in squaller and his government condoning slavery."

"As this State Department internal memo reveals, the Dalai Lama at one time took $180,000 a year from the CIA for his living expenses. and $1.5 million a year from the spy agency to finance Tibetan guerrilla operations against the Chinese, which included, running a covert guerrilla training center in Colorado."
