POPSAn Underground City Beneath Beijing, Why? Beijing's Underground Hideout With Khrushchev and the Soviets breathing down his country's metaphorical neck, Chairman Mao ordered the construction of a vast underground city to serve as a shelter during an invasion, air raid or nuclear war. This was no minor undertaking. In the late 1960s, the population of Beijing reached 7.5 million residents . In short order, the residents of the capital city were put to work excavating their enormous air raid shelter. Most of the digging was done by hand, and the work was shared by adults and schoolchildren alike. This communal venture fit nicely into Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution -- a massive campaign to support the communist movement and thwart counterrevolutionary ideas. From 1969 to 1979, the people of Beijing focused their attention underground. Watch Reuters video at website: Building the $500 million Beijing Olympic Stadium

POPSChinese 'Sexy Photo Gate" Battle
With a headline like: "Lurid images tell a tawdry tale," it's hard to skip over. & the idea that the posting of 'lurid photos,' of Chinese celebrities has become a Battle for Internet Freedom is also intriguing. also here a twist on a famous saying of nChinese Revolution leader, Chairman Mao...who, while being a bit of a thug leader said something good about the idea of freedom, saying 'let a thousand flowers grow,' and now... Now the Chinese Netizens have posted: "When one IP address is shut down, a hundred thousand spring up/When one identity is shut down, a hundred thousand spring up. Also !? Can it really be true that a Chinese bishop in Hong Kong quoted the "Speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil proverb, claiming it was part of The Bible? So,...Sexy Photos? Netizens? Chairman Mao? Bishops fabricating Bible quotes? It doesn't get much better than this. IMO & "And if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you're not going to make it with anyone

POPStrying to understand the anti-war movement I'm not sure most of the left, anti Bush and anti War people understand who is pulling their strings. I'm betting they don't really know either. But its way cool to wear a Che Guerra tee-shirt while holding a 'shopped pic of Tony Blair as Hitler, isn't it? Great way to pick up chicks!
