Cyber Attacks against Tibetan Communities

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the that's-right-all-the-tea dept.

UnderAttack writes "The SANS Internet Storm Center reports about an increasing number of sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks against Tibetan NGOs. These attacks appear to be related to attacks against other anti-chinese groups like Falun Gong. 'There is lots of media coverage on the protests in Tibet. Something that lies under the surface, and rarely gets a blip in the press, are the various targeted cyber attacks that have been taking place against these various communities recently. These attacks are not limited to various Tibetan NGOs and support groups. They have been reported dating back to 2002, and even somewhat before that, and have affected several other communities, including Falun Gong and the Uyghurs.'"

    The Tibetan rulers may have been cruel, but they weren't trying to systematically wipe out the Tibetan language and culture.

    FACT 1: Under their rules, there were only two schools for Lamas and other governors. More than 97% people could not either read nor write their own language. After 1959 revolution the secondary education virtually become compulsory for every tibet children and all the schools in Tibet are bilingual (plus English from the secondary school).

    FACT 2: Yes, some parts of their "culture" have been systematically wiped, such as slavery, cruel torture, sexuality discrimination and much more (go to your library and check out more about this). If you think Chinese government should keep such "culture", you can suggest your government back to the medieval first.

    Actually I dont think you should believe what I said here. I strongly suggest you travel to Tibet and use your own eyes to check. Also you can go to Dharmsala in India where Dalai lives and Nepal, which is another country now quite against the "culture". Despite considering the above factors, it is still worth to travel to Tibet as the landscape is simply amazing anyway.

    I do know what's sophistry, so I dont use it here. I use the FACT, the fact not from someone's mouth, but the fact everyone can check. Go to the Tibet and do literature review as much as you can. I strongly suggest you do that!!!

    Perhaps you should talk to a bona-fide tantric buddhist practitioner before you paint them all with one brush, based on some bizarre cooks collection of papers.

    NO! you can read their raw official "scripts" and "guides" directly and examine what I post here one-by-one (highly recommended)!!! The information is there! I use the above links just because it is well organized and written by English. The basic idea of Tantra Buddhism is quite straight forward and clear, but absolutely not "BONA-FIDE". I dont want to give the details here, it is disgusting.

    Basically there are three major topics in their "scripts" 1) how to have sex with girls (the first one usually must be a virgin) whilst not feeling any exciting. This is one of the core components of Tantra, although they have full religious explanations about this but may be difficult to understand to you guys. 2) how to call an evil (yes, an evil by any means even by their definition) to kill the enemy. 3) how to use a witch to connect a spirit (sometimes an evil, sometimes others depends on the witch) to make a decision, for example, Palden Lhamo, Dalai Lama's demon and Dorje Shugden, a spirit who Dalai hates very much
