    China’s Jasmine Revolution?

    What’s Happening With China’s Jasmine Revolution?

    source

    How did it begin? The first tweet calling for protests in China seems to have been posted around February 15. According to the Beijing-based technology blogger Jason Ng, the tweet came from the username Shudong, and said that at 2:00 p.m. CET on February 20, "every large city in China would be conducting a Jasmine Revolution, the details of which would later be posted on a certain website." (This anonymous account has since been deleted. China Digital Times has the full post translated into English.) Early Saturday morning, the US-based Chinese news portal Boxun.com received an anonymous report detailing where the protests would take place the next day and published the information. By 9:00 a.m., the site was attacked. Later that night in China tweets with the hashtag #cn220 reposted the Boxun report, alerting journalists and policemen alike.

Furthermore, I hereby give up my right to sue myself for damages to my reputation, cause I don't think any less of myself and I know how much I got in the bank!

    They meet at McDonalds .. they where they ate greasy burgers and fries topped they it off with a 32 oz peach shake .. They were so bloated after consuming the gut bombs they got lethargic went outside laid down and were scooped up by bucket loaders, dumped in dumpsters and sent to a factory where the peaceful protesters were converted into more burger paddies...
