Journal Collapsing Empire's Journal: CIA behind 'Free Tibet' movement?

http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/2008/04/is-cia-behind-free-tibet-campaign.html

I can't speak for the validity of any of this information. However, anyone who knows about the history of our foreign interventionism knows that the CIA has played a significant role in interfering with the political process of countless nations.

Not everything is always as it seems. We have a history of making our enemies into grotesque caricatures, for example.

What is really going on in Tibet? I have no idea. What I do know is that there are two factions who want us to believe two different stories. I'm not prone to accept either one, on the face of their statements.

Do Tibetans enjoy a modicum of cultural and political autonomy under Chinese rule? Does the Dalai Lama really represent an indigenous cultural and political movement or does he represent a bought-and-paid-for politican who will open up Tibet to foreign capitalists and heed the political desires of the West? The answers to these questions are not clear.
