Dear all,
KMT can excuse itself for the crime it commits against unarmed Formosans but can’t erase the fact of the crime; it can brainwash Taiwanese but can’t delete the memories of witnesses of KMT’s brutality. I can easily find proof of no Independence call in Formosan protest through many witnesses, but I will lead it to who is interested in truth. Here I want to share what Ma’s so called “KINDNESS” below,
“... we watched Nationalist soldiers inaction in the alleys... Formosans bayoneted in the street without provocation. A man was robbed before our eyes - and then cut down and run through. Another ran into the street in pursuit of soldiers dragging a girl away from his house and we saw him, too, cut down. This sickening spectacle was only the smallest sample of the slaughter... The city was full of troops... patients were brought in..., some shot, some literally backed to pieces... The roadways, the river banks and the harbor shores were strewn with bodies... Looting began immediately. The soldiers made it a practice to beat upon closed doors, and then to cut down whoever chanced to open them... Some were killed with great brutality... We saw students tied together... usually along the river banks and ditches about Taipei, or at the waterfront in Keelung. One foreigner counted more than thirty young bodies - in student uniforms - lying along the roadside east of Taipei; they had had their noses and ears slit or hacked off, and many had been castrated. Two students were beheaded near my front gate. Bodies lay unclaimed on the roadside embankment near the Mission compound.”
“the stories were much the same from every part of the island... a policy of pure terrorism. ... leaving the boy bleeding and helpless in the street.”
The UNRRA Accounts Officer (a stouthearted New Zealand girl, Miss Louise Tomsett) ... Reported... “ Everywhere... tales of looting, shooting, murder and rape, and [I saw] trucks loaded with heavily armed soldiery and bearing mounted machine guns ... heavy firing went on ... especially at night... very many bodies had been taken from the Harbor over the past week.”
Foreigners observed small boats searching the harbor, towing bodies in where grief-stricken families waited to search for missing sons and brothers.
The atrocities perpetrated at Kaohsiung were (if possible) even more revolting than the mass executions and torture used at Taipei...
The Chief Medical Officer for UNRRA wrote later: “Boys were shot down from bicycles as they rode. One man who was sitting in his home reading his evening newspaper had his money, watch and a ring removed from his person by soldiers who entered his home, and then shot him through the back... as he was being carried ... to the hospital by his family, they were shot at, even as they entered the front door of the hospital - a Canadian Mission hospital . . . A working man returning home was confronted by soldiers who had him raise his hands, then searched his person. Not finding any money they ran a bayonet through his leg; then as he fell to the ground they demanded that be stand up, which he could not do. So they shot him in the head and departed. But they only shot off his ear and he was able to tell of his experiences the next day ... The next morning a half-dozen Formosans were pushing a cart of fish to market when Chinese troops opened fire on them... ..., the entire group of about 45 Formosans who were carrying on various phases of local government were taken out to a nearby airfield from which, later, a series of shots were heard. “
Ambassador Stuart's memorandum t “Without warning a machine gun mounted somewhere on the government building opened fire... killed at least four. Two consular officers drove through the square immediately after the shots were fired... members of the American Consulate staff witnessed a severe clash between armed government forces and unarmed crowds... A few hundred yards away Railway Administration special armed police suddenly opened fire .... about 300 feet from the Consulate gates. Then as the bodies were carried off the crowd was observed to assemble again some distance from a mounted patrol near an intersection. Suddenly, with no warning, a long burst of machine gun fire swept the area... “
Do those Formosans deserved this “kind” of execution? Are they violent, provoking, or simply Taiwanese? Is looting and castrating dead bodies a Chinese ways of “KINDNESS” practice to death? To a person who is born after 1947, I do not taste any democracy or independence after 228 but my Formosan parents’ silent anger, constant warning against politics, and nightmares of living in the longest Martial Law period in human history! Sincerely,
Lily Bradberry

假鎮暴,真屠殺! 為了鎮壓茉莉花革命,利比亞獨裁者格達費出動軍隊血腥鎮壓屠殺人民,舉世強烈譴責,格達費政權則稱,為鎮暴平亂不惜血流成河。
靠著謊言取得政權,靠謊言治國的中國黨政權,無論是在中國,或者是在台灣,什麼時候會垮台呢?無論是菊花開、百合花開或是茉莉花開,都是那麼令人引頸期盼的。 □ 〔 資料來源: Spieler | 引用網址 〕「台灣台北市松江路9號14樓」 , 電話:02-25175681 , 傳真:02-25175682 , 建國會郵政劃撥帳號:1882-8111 戶名:彭明敏 , E-Mail:hio...@gmail.com http://www.taiwannews.com.tw/etn/news_content.php?id=1494017&lang=eng_news Taiwan: Taiwan-U.S.-China ties undergoing fundamental change: analysts Central News Agency
2011-01-23 01:46 AM
"metamorphosis" in cross-Taiwan Strait development could bring a fundamental change to the triangular relations among Taiwan, China and the United States,with Washington's influence fading, analysts said yesterday. "The Taiwan issue is not an obstacle to U.S.-China relations now. The increasing U.S. support for China's position on the issue is a result of the metamorphosis of cross-strait relations, " said Chang Kuo-cheng, a researcher at Taiwan Thinktank, in a forum on U.S.-China relations after Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to the United States.
China does not need U.S. pressure to influence Taiwan at present because both sides of the strait have had extensive direct engagement in recent years, and Taiwan has willingly opted to position itself closer to China, Chang said. The development has led the U.S. to slow its pace of arms sales to Taiwan, he said, adding that Taiwan would not likely gain Washington's full support in future political talks with China if the current trend were to continue.
The U.S.-China Joint Statement in 2009, which was released during U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to China and stated for the first time that the U.S. respected China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, suggesting that Taiwan and Tibet are Chinese territories, had caused great harm to Taiwan. The statement could be included, along with the three joint communiques and the Taiwan Relations Act, as part of U.S. policy in the future, Chang said.
Huang Wei-feng, a researcher at Academia Sinica, found it strange that Taiwan's government applauded the U.S.-China joint statement in 2011 even though it was almost identical to the 2009 statement that everyone thought had harmed Taiwan. Huang also questioned Washington's encouragement of Taiwan to further cross-strait interaction "in economic, political, and other fields, " which he said was a violation of the U.S.' "Six Assurances" made by the Reagan Administration in 1982 that says the U.S. would not play a mediation role between Taiwan and China.
Lai I-chung, a researcher at Taiwan Thinktank, urged people to pay attention to the differences between remarks made by Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the past week. Clinton said on Jan. 14 that the U.S. approach toward Taiwan "continues to be guided by its one-China policy based on the three joint communiques and the Taiwan Relations Act" and the U.S. "seeks to encourage and see more dialogue and exchanges between the two sides, as well as reduced military tensions and deployments." Lai said, however, that Obama did not mention the Taiwan Relations Act and the Chinese military deployments in his remarks and went on to encourage political talks between both sides of the strait.
It appeared that China has excluded the South China Sea as part of its core interests after Hu Jintao only mentioned Taiwan and Tibet during his Washington trip, said Lin Cheng-yi, a researcher at Academia Sinica. http://www.hi-on.org.tw/bulletins.jsp?b_ID=107055 還有誰會被送到中國受審? 雲程2011/02/23
