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。

鎮暴平亂字眼十分眼熟,這是所有專制獨裁政權的「共用語」,像天安門事件的中共政權、二二八事件的國民黨政權等等,都把「屠殺」稱「鎮暴」。

二二八事件發生在六十四年前台灣,天安門事件發生在二十二年前中國北京,利比亞大屠殺是現在進行式,犯下屠殺罪行的專制政權各不相同,但是殘暴本質、屠殺人民如割草芥,卻像一個模子做出來的;它們粉飾滿手血腥的說法也雷同,都是誣指人民抗議是暴民暴亂,謊稱鎮暴平亂、秩序恢復。

格達費是否鎮壓得逞、靠血腥暴行繼續專制,尚待觀察;國民黨政權、中共政權當年則都「鎮壓得逞」,繼續專制統治,國民黨在二二八事件之後近五十年,李登輝主政時才道歉,中共至今仍把天安門事件列為政治禁忌,嚴密封禁「六四」相關字眼,也因此它對「茉莉花革命」特別緊張驚懼。

專制政權不會真心認錯道歉,即使道歉,有機會就「反平反」,像馬英九也為二二八道歉,但是,藍營主政後,北市二二八紀念館更新展,卻把被學者認定為「二二八元凶」的蔣介石,美化為「寬大處理、秩序恢復」的人,還把鎮壓稱公權力行使、殘殺為宣慰。

藍營辯稱的所謂不同角度詮釋,根本就是為獨裁者翻案找藉口,如任其顛倒是非,未來恐怕二二八屠殺又會被翻回鎮暴!

記取228陳儀「不會向中央請兵」謊言的歷史教訓
S
pieler2011/02/23

[
看到台北市DPP簡余晏「二二八歷史重新改寫,蔣介石英姿恢復臺灣秩序?」一文,非常震驚。原來馬騜打從當台北市長就要嘗試跟228受難家屬連結,就是要主導228的詮釋權?原來馬政權想藉228的歷史詮釋權來美化蔣介石的歷史角色?在陳儀深的研究中,就指出蔣介石是228的元兇!誰當年能調動21師軍隊來台灣的?陳儀嗎?3月2日陳儀就向中央請兵,蔣渭川問陳儀有無向中央請兵,陳儀就答「不會向中央請兵」!這種謊話,也算是緩兵之計吧,在3月8日21師登陸基隆,才幾天,就拆穿了!]

輕時曾聽過一句話「中國的歷史,除了人名是真的,其他都是假的」,當時年紀太輕,無法體會,等到年紀稍長,原來黨國歷史教育所塑造的「民族救星」蔣介石,竟然是二十世紀的四大屠夫之一,僅次於史達林、毛澤東、希特勒。雖然早知道蔣是一介武夫,但能名列世界大屠夫之列,對筆者當年年輕的心,也算是不小的震撼。

介石在台灣殺了多少人?老實說筆者不得而知,然而看到白色恐怖時期蔣手諭「槍決可也」的硃批,還真是駭人聽聞的。當年228屠殺時,行政長官陳儀有可能調動非他所部的21師?軍隊的調動,不是蔣有關228的書,打從解嚴起,早就已經是汗牛充棟?然而有人的態度,就彷彿如同中國憤青的態度一樣,不相信1989年中國曾經有64屠殺一樣,寧願相信鄧小平等人是平定了騷亂有何不同?!這種態度,跟部份新納粹分子,宣稱納粹屠殺六百萬猶太人Holocaust不是事實的,有多大的差異?這就是所謂的不同角度觀點?當有人說出真相時,就說是「挑撥族群」?

者曾參觀納粹的死亡營,在參觀的時候,以及後來幾天,心情都不好。就算是德國人屠殺猶太人的歷史,跟東方沒有什麼關聯,但是那種刻骨銘心的震撼,至今也難遺忘。一個英國學歷史的友人嘗云:「看悲劇,靈魂得以洗滌」,或許正是這個道理。

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。

Taiwan: Taiwan-U.S.-China ties undergoing fundamental change: analysts
Central News Agency
201
1-01-23 01:46 AM

"metamorphosis" in c
ross-Taiwan Strait development could bring a fundamental change to the triangular relations among Taiwan, China and the United St
ates, 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 i
n 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 i
n 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.

還有誰會被送到中國受審?
程2011/02/23
○○八年三位菲律賓人在中國因販毒走私被判死刑,從那時起菲國政府未曾停止營救行動。

本月十八日,菲律賓副總統訪問北京並與中國官方發表共同聲明:菲律賓不干預中國司法個案,也感謝中國「延遲」處死這三位毒品走私犯。報導雖表明為「延遲」,其實官方網站的用語卻是「減刑」(commutation)。證諸英國、馬來西亞與日本毒販被中國處死,菲國營救行動顯然獲得成功。

問題在代價:菲國為表善意,選擇缺席劉曉波的諾貝爾和平獎頒獎典禮。所以,為營救前述三位菲律賓人,而違反國際法管轄原則遞送十四位在菲國犯罪的台灣人至中國受審,也不足為奇。菲律賓對馬政府態度強硬並以「一中」相譏,何怪之有?

有了中國收服菲國的前例,未來還可能有哪位旅外台灣住民會被遞送至中國受審甚至服刑?國民黨秘書長與幹部(國共戰犯)?閣員與立委(叛亂政府通緝要犯)?故宮院長與央行總裁(竊取國寶與黃金)?連退休官員或也無可倖免。假使這些人能至中國旅遊,逮捕就更方便了。誰敢打包票一九六五年投奔自由日後也取得加拿大公民身分的李顯斌,在二十七年後的一九九一年回青島時被俘一事只是個案?

我們不應該責怪菲國總統以台灣人為魚肉交換外交利益。他是菲律賓總統,何必保護台灣人呢?倒是,台灣人選出來的總統知道嗎?在意嗎?

台灣住民,特別是一九四九年曾叛離中國的新住民及其後嗣,該怎樣看待馬總統?真的有事時他能、他願保護大家嗎?

是那些人決定了台北市二二八紀念館的文字內容?
誰決定不要展出蔣介石派兵來台的文件的?
簡余晏2011/02/22

這些事是誰決定的?是誰決定不能展出蔣介石所批派軍隊來台的文件?是誰決定不讓參觀者看到領子彈及槍枝來台數量的文件?是誰決定在蔣介石軍裝照片旁的標題是「秩序恢復∕中央派軍來台」?是誰決定在一堆被屠殺冤死的死亡名單上寫上「都是公權力的行使」、「建立了新秩序」等文字?這些有權決定二二八紀念館內文字的人是誰?只要展館還繼續展出一天,我希望所有台灣人後代子孫,都要牢牢記住這些參與人及館長的名字!!!或許,最後當權者寫的史書如馬英九在二二八館前說的「蔣介石功在民主及自治」,他們赤裸裸地在英靈之前稱讚派軍隊屠殺的元兇!但是,我們這一代一定要把真正在土地上發生的事情告訴孩子們,讓真正的歷史留在我們心裡!

昨天,施明德創辦的「財團法人新台灣研究文教基金會」的黃小姐叩應到三立電視台,這262萬元的二二八常設展的文字規畫的確是這個基金會包到的,但黃小姐說「文字被改過了」!是誰?是誰?誰在二二八英靈前歌頌蔣介石?「寬大處理」、「秩序恢復」、「公權力的行使」,

而且展出誤導史實的蔣介石單一文件,藉此包裝蔣介石是「不報復的人」!二二八英靈在前方歷史的不遠處,如果歷史可以這樣寫的,那麼,誰能保證屠殺菁英的事情不會再出現?只要改寫歷史之後,獨裁者就現身殺人了啊!
