In case you didn’t see the mind blowing 100 m by Usain Bolt. Set a world record and shut it off 20 m before the finish line.

As you can see, in the events where medals are determined by competitors rather than judges, the gold medal gap between China and the U.S. is greatly narrowed, and the total medal count is an American runaway. Counting the judged events, China has a commanding lead in golds. Hmmm… Nope, nothing fishy about that!

Thanks to Nick Friedell for posing a most thought provoking question. “How many more times will we be duped?” Answer, well Nick, in China they have to keep up the propaganda.

What is most crazy about this video is that when it was made, 1984, no one thought it was odd. In fact, this became the official 1984 Olympic promotional music video. According to Pat Imig, “it may be the real reason why the Russians boycotted those Games.” Enough said.

I am saddened not to be able to attend the Games. The Olympic Games represent something powerful: that people can come together from around the world and do things that no one thought were possible. However, the denial of my visa is a part of a systemic effort by the Chinese government to coerce and threaten athletes who are speaking out on behalf of the innocent people of Darfur.
