The Communist Vietnamese government ought to be ashamed of themselves for putting a patriot in jail for 2.5 years because he spoke out against China’s occupation of Vietnam. For the past 4 thousands years, China has relentlessly attempted to occupy Vietnam whenever it could. These communist leaders have no sense of patriotism , of nationality.
It is without dispute that China is currently a strong and formidable country, and Vietnam cannot dare to challenge China militarily or even politically. But China has always been and will always be stronger than Vietnam, and that is not the reason for any Vietnamese government to be on its knees caving in to China like a slave.
Shame on you!
Today is also a fine day to recognize that the fight for a more democratic, a freer Vietnam is presently a very complex picture. In that light, it’s useful to pinpoint some of many pictures of Điếu Cày and other Viet youths speaking out against China’s occupation of Hoang Sa, Truong Sa:
These pictures show Vietnamese patriots fighting for better Vietnam, and yet under … the red flag with yellow star. Are they the only patriots? No. There are others who fight to a freer Vietnam under the yellow flag. The are others who fight for a freer Vietnam under no flags.
And yet this fact tends to bring discomfort to those who think that the world of freedom is or should only be in black and white. How could this be? How can Vietnamese fight for a better Vietnam under the red flag?
It is not difficult to see why those Vietnamese feel attached to the red flag having lived in a closed, indoctrinated society for more than 30 years. It is not difficult to see why they feel foreign to yellow flag. And yet it is a reality. To bring this reality to light for the sake of discussion is something that all who truly want a better Vietnam should do. Instead, there are people in our own oversea communities, who are fearsome of such reality — so fearsome to the degree that they label communists whoever bring up this fact. When they see a picture of a Vietnamese youth with a red flag, they automatically scream, “commies in the house”.
It’s time to stop screaming and reflect.

Tuy không thể xem cuộc triễn lãm này, nhưng hình ảnh chụp được cho thấy cuộc triễn lãm mang nặng tính chính trị hơn nghệ thuật. Tuy tính nghệ thuật hơi kém (và một số tác phẩm có thể nói là rất kém), nhưng một số người cũng không đúng khi bảo rằng nghệ thuật và chính trị không thể đứng chung.
"I would have hoped that community members here would understand that we are not young people who do not understand our history and thus are easily indoctrinated by the communists. This operates upon the premise that younger generations are weak and the communists are too strong. This idea does not help to facilitate any dialogue because it relies on a culture of fear."Read more...
Vài đồng tiền văng vải, chắc không đáng lượm lại. Nhưng đến một ngày nào đó nếu nhặt góp các đồng tiền rơi rớt đó lại, thì chắc cũng thành một số tiền đáng kể. Bài đầu tiên của Chấm Phá.
