British Olympics Boss Threatens “Action Will Be Taken” If Athletes Dare To Criticise China

China Says ‘Same World’, We Hear ‘One World’

To the surprise of few, China has told international athletes that if they don’t sign STFU contracts, agreeing not to mention Tibet or human rights, they will not be allowed to attend the 2008 Olympic Games.

If they sign the STFU contract and then make any kind of ‘political comment’ in front of the world’s media, they will be immediately sent home.

Interestingly enough, the new clause that demands athletes not speak out does not refer to China by name. That is because it will be a standard rule for all athletes attending Olympic Games in the future. No ‘political comment’ allowed about the host country.

Which means the same rule will apply in 2012, when the Olympics host city is London.

The chief executive of the British Olympics organisation thinks China’s demands for athletes to STFU is brilliant, and he sees dark conspiracies about freedom of speech, and truth :

BOA chief executive Simon Clegg said if athletes stepped out of line in Beijing “action will have to be taken”.

“There are all sorts of organisations who would like athletes to use the Olympic Games as a vehicle to publicise their causes,” he told the newspaper.

“I don’t believe that is in the interest of the team performance. As a team we are ambassadors of the country and we have to conform to an appropriate code of conduct.”

One of the causes being vehiclelised for the 2008 Olympics is, funnily enough, freedom of speech.

Under the new clause, the ‘appropriate code of conduct’ will mean that American athletes will have to sign STFU before they can attend the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Australia Must Pull Out Of 2008 Olympics If Athletes Are Forced To Sign STFU Contracts

From The Orstrahyun :

The English language version of China’s ‘theme’ for this year’s Olympics is :

Only the one dream?

From the ‘One World, One Dream’ site :

“One World, One Dream” is simple in expressions, but profound in meaning.

It voices the aspirations of 1.3 billion Chinese people to contribute to the establishment of a peaceful and bright world.

In Chinese, the word “tongyi”, which means “the same”, is used for the English word “One”. It highlights the theme of “the whole Mankind lives in the same world and seeks for the same dream and ideal”.

One World. Same World.

The difference between those two descriptions of a united world could not be more immense.

Or pronounced.
