"Thousands rally on Common for loved ones hurt by quake" by Danielle Capalbo, Globe Correspondent | June 1, 2008
Chants resounded through Boston Common yesterday afternoon during a rally by thousands of people worried about friends and family members left homeless or killed in China's earthquake-ravaged Sichuan Province.
Guess you couldn't ignore that many people, huh, Globe?
Had to send a reporter down there, didn't you?
"Get united. . . . Fight against the earthquake disaster. . . . Help assist Sichuan people rebuild their homes," they shouted in Chinese.
Despite impending rainstorms, the demonstrators gathered for a 3-mile walk and a three-hour cultural ceremony at the gazebo to raise funds for rescue efforts in the province, which was devastated by the quake May 12.
"To face disaster, everybody needs to give a hand," said Kai Tao, 56, of Cambridge, who helped organize the event. Planning for the event began just days after the earthquake, during an emergency meeting of local Chinese-American leaders, many of whom have ties to Sichuan.
Almost 89 groups banded together for the event. By 1 p.m., nearly $100,000 had been raised for relief, Tao said.
But nothing on tv!!!!
After the walk, about 200 performers of all ages took turns reading poems, singing, and playing musical instruments. A troupe of young girls swayed to the sound of dulcimers, wearing bright-orange dresses from China. Across the way, a small group of seniors prepared to demonstrate martial arts.
Readers, how come American protests aren't this much fun?
Seriously, our "hour of time" is generally shit.
That's why I don't go protest anymore.
The old lefty hippies want you to shut-up like it is some kind of vigil, and when you mention 9/11 Truth or false-flags to them they act like they never heard of such things!!!
"During good times and bad times, we express our feelings and sentiments through" the arts, said Hong Liu of Cambridge. She had led the chants, guiding the crowd to read the Chinese characters on huge posters that she made from bedsheets with the help of her 81-year-old father.
Who doesn't?
"I drew in black and white - those are Chinese mourning colors," she said, translating the posters for a reporter. But more important than the crisp, black characters were the dabs of green she painted beside them: a color, she said, that represented confidence even in the face of the natural disaster.
"Unfortunately, these earthquakes happened. On the other hand, the survivors have to face life with hope and honor," she said.
At the emergency meeting May 14, activists also organized a benefit concert, which was held last Sunday at MIT and raised about $250,000, and started a website to collect donations.
So how come the paper didn't link the site like they would do for anyone else, readers?
I can't help but feel subtle racism at work here.
So far, at least $635,638 has been raised, said Furong Gardner, one of the organizers of the past week's events.
Gardner, 48, of Pembroke, was born in Sichuan. She said most of her family has been displaced, left to live on the streets. "This is just the beginning. . . . We have so much more planned," including possibly sending people from the Boston area to help relief efforts in Sichuan, she said.
Riding the subway home from the event, John Gooseman, 30, of North Quincy was still wearing his commemorative red and white T-shirt, which showed an outline of China with a heart around the epicenter of the earthquake.
Gooseman heard about the event from a Chinese-American colleague.
"An opportunity presented itself to support people in need," he said. "Even though I don't have family there, it's seven degrees of separation: If it doesn't affect you, it probably affects someone you know."
Actually, I do know a Chinese man -- although he is from the northwest part of the country.
And hell, IT DOES AFFECT ME!!
Every life, every soul is PRECIOUS -- no matter where they are on this planet!!!
And when I first saw this photo, readers, I thought what beautiful children!!!!

Except look closer, readers.
Why are 5-year-old and 6-year old girls getting MAKE-UP JOBS?!?
WTF?
I didn't want to believe it, readers, but here is a perfect example of how Zionist control and brainwashing of our culture is DESTROYING US!!!!!!
And it is DESTROYING OTHERS as well as themselves, too!!!
WHY are they WHORING UP the little Chinese girls like they are Jon Bennett Ramsey, readers?
Now I understand the Muslim revulsion at our Zionist-inculcated morality!!!!
We are a PERVERSE and SICK CULTURE, readers!!!!
A culture that THRIVES on IMMORALITY and VIOLENCE!!!!
An ANTI-CHRIST CULTURE!!!!!!!
