Ai Weiwei's First Major U.S. Show Has Everything but the Dissident Artist Himself
In October, Washington, D.C.'s Hirshhorn Museum opened Ai Weiwei: According to What?, the first major retrospective of works by the Chinese artist in North ...
An example for Americans to follow, people hunger for real freedom and are
only appeased never satisfied with anything else. A rare combination, a man
with a loud enough voice to be noticed with the courage to speak
out.America needs a man with a loud voice who will be heard by all to speak
out to spark the beginning of the end of this growing tyranny. I would to
God that I had the audience for one day.
First of all, don't be a dick to your fellow libertarian. Second, I never
said anything in favor of government funding of the Smithsonian. All I said
was it's not the subject matter of this video. Reason has made videos in
the past against the institution. If you took the time to check that out
you'd know that. The video is about Ai Weiwei. Nothing else. It shouldn't
be that hard to understand.
~ America is WORSE ~ We had Laws; promises of: - Due-process - Freedom -
Honor - Limited gov power - Individual civil rights - Constitution - Bill
of Rights BUT America now detains citizens, and even KILLS them without due
process (tip of the ice burg) Me, I'm MGTOW .... I will never support this
country again... I am ashamed of USA FSA = Fascist States of America
I am afraid you misunderstood my point, but you are welcome. I wonder where
the courageous voices are here against the NDAA, FISA and the Patriot Act,
Voices that have an audience and could gather support to pressure change.
Thanks for reminding everyone about perspective. Ai Weiwei lives in a
country with real tyranny, while us Americans live in a country with
amazing amounts of freedom under no serious threat at all. I appreciate it.
I guarantee you that most who are rallying for Weiwei and criticizing China
are also criticizing Obama for his drone strikes. Myself being one of them.
ReasonTV did a video about the drone strikes last Christmas.
Just because the Smithsonian was in this video doesn't mean it had anything
to do with the subject matter. The video was about the artist in question.
The issue of the Smithsonian's funding is for another video.
Sure, that'd be a plus, but freedom of expression is an end in itself. He
supports that, so I support him in those efforts. It's irrelevant if he
agrees with me on any other issues.
"He was taken into 'secret detention'" by law enforcement officers. Wow,
I'm glad that cannot happen in the U.S. Oh, wait, was the NDAA signed into
law? Sorry, never mind.
Why hasn't the mainstream media picked up on this story?
China Exposed: Labor Camps, Organ Harvesting, Prison Conditions (1997)
Harry Wu (born 1937) is Chinese human rights activist. Wu spent 19 years in Chinese labor camps, and is now a resident and citizen of the United States.
And China and the US were the best of friends even then. China has enjoyed
"Most Favored Nation" trading status since 1994. The US is only now
beginning to *think about* dropping its economic embargo of Cuba. So much
for human rights.
+colourmegone United States isn't getting the respect as it was before! So China and Russia will wipe out United States sooner or later!!
