Regarding Farrow's kicker quotation:

Spielberg WILL NOT "go down as the Leni Riefenstahl" of ANYTHING because he ALREADY IS RECORDED as being one of the GREATEST filmmakers in history, as well as a great supporter of human freedom. Supporting the Olympics is NOT a matter of trashing humanity; the Olympics are supposed to be an event that celebrates and unifies humanity by bringing forth the best. How preposturous to think Spielberg's name will be branded poorly by this, that it will shine him with a bad light... Thpp!!

It would be so much easier if Toronto had won the 2008 olympics over Beijing like it was supposed to.

Hey, as long as she's limiting her criticism to individuals, I fully support it.

Riiiighht. Because when I think of tyrants screwing up our planet for all future generations to come Spielberg is definitely the first person who comes to my mind. Oh me-o Mia...

Well, in addition to more recent atrocities, Mao Zedong was responsible for the starvation of 40+ million Chinese citizens during the Great Leap Forward. He was also the architect of the horrific Cultural Revolution...

Yes, I'd say that China is in many respects on par with Nazi Germany.

Hey don't you all know that the man is a true Humanitarian?
I'm sure his true convictions are just hiding behind those huge piles of Bejing cash...

The thing I find interesting is that this article hurls some pretty startling attacks on the moral character of a man many find above question without giving any other opinion. She clearly has an agenda here, yet instead of presenting any sort of counter argument the author simply says "right on Mia!". I for one agree, China does have a terrible history of human rights violations, certainly on par with those of any civilization in history. However, perhaps Speilberg is supporting the games for the other things they represent, or because the games will help to shed light on the atrocities, or for any number of reasons. To simply call the man a monster, in spite of his history and with not a peep being presented to explain his behavior, seems questionable at best.

Yes, just because Spielberg didn't make any movies about the human rights atrocities in China, it doesn't mean they didn't happen. Please open up a history book. In many ways, China "human rights record" is much worse than Nazi Germany.

Mia Farrow is a hypocrite - she supports the genocide of Melanesians and theft of their gold & copper. She could stop the 40 years of genocide; State will continue a program of genocide while there are people documenting the crime.

Unfortunately genocide often has international supporters who want the profits of genocide, or agree the victims are "primitives" or "sub-human" who should be eliminated for the benefit of others.

All Americans should be keenly aware of their largest mine, a combine gold & copper mine in West Papua designed & built by Bechtel and operated by Freeport McMoRan. The gold & copper was discovered in 1936 by Mobil & Chevron, their geologist called it "Ertsberg" (Mountain of Ore), but it was not until 1959 when the Dutch colony discovered there was gold flowing into the Arafura Sea and began searching for the mountain source, that Rockefeller's Freeport Sulphur suddenly decided it was time to mine West Papua.

Inside the White House, McGeorge Bundy & Robert Komer told Kennedy that the US could only save itself from communism by forcing the Netherlands to sell West Papua to Indonesian control by signing the New York Agreement in 1962. After General Suharto came to power by killing a half million Javanese potential opponents in 1966, Freeport Sulphur in 1967 got its first 30 year license from Indonesia to mine the Pacific nation of West Papua.

In 2004 the Yale University Law School published its report:
(http://www.law.yale.edu/documents/pdf/westpapuahrights.pdf)

"Indonesian Human Rights Abuses in West Papua:
Application of the Law of Genocide to the History of Indonesian Control"

In 2005 the US Congressmen wrote Section 1115 asking questions about West Papua & Indonesia's claim of sovereignty. In late 2005 Bechtel & Freeport & Exxon used their lobby the "US Indonesia Society" to petition the US Senate to remove the entire Section 1115.

Genocide is about denial, the US Congress was not even allowed to ask questions about West Papua. 40 years of genocide (according to Yale Law School) and colonial mining courtesy of the Indonesian military. GW Bush has allowed Indonesia to keep Jihadist training camps OPEN, he also lifted Clinton's bans on the TNI, and even commenced U.S. funding & Aid to the Indonesian military which still works with Laskar Jihad and other al Qaeda networks. Why ? Gold & money ?
