American lawyer: Dalai Lama is a monumental fraud

2015-12-03

The U.S. examiner.com published an article on May 20, 2013, which harshly criticized the spiritual leader of the "Tibetan government-in-exile", the Dalai Lama, and called him a "fraud", who is not only deliberately hiding the sordid history of Tibet to diddle some people's sympathy and support who are ignorant about the truth, but also has it both ways and disregards of principles in many issues to gain support.

Titled Is the Dalai Lama a monumental fraud? , the author of the article is an attorney from Louisville named Thomas McAdam.

He talked from a recent event of the Dalai Lama at the KFC Yum Center. In order to have a look of the 77 year-old Buddhist monk, an enthusiastic throng of 17,000 people waiting in line in the hot sun stretched around the block and across the Second Street Bridge, half-way to Indiana. However, the author pointed out that "If people had even an inkling of what a sordid history precedes this huckster, the lines outside the Yum! Center would be considerably shorter."

The article said that most of the Dalai Lama's American friends received little knowledge about this charlatan from watching movies like "Seven Years in Tibet," "Kundun," and "Shangri-La." Or, they may have heard some Hollywood-types like Marlon Brando and Richard Gere propagandizing on the talk shows about the tragic removal of the Dalai Lama from power, by the "evil communist Chinese".

In regard to territorial sovereignty, the author pointed out that "Tibet has been a semi-autonomous province of China for over a thousand years. Until 1959, it was ruled as a theocratic dictatorship, with over ninety percent of the population living as serfs in a feudalistic system of involuntary servitude. Workers were routinely bought and sold as slaves, and punishments for speaking irreverently about the Dalai Lama included eye-gouging and tongue removal. Amputation of hands and feet were commonplace punishments for even minor criminal infractions."

For the reform of the Chinese government, the article said the Tibetan landlords and the Buddhist hierarchy--including the Dalai Lama and his minions--violently resisted these reforms, and, by 1955, they were in open rebellion against the Chinese government. Aided by Allen Dulles and his Central Intelligence Agency, the ruling Buddhist elite waged a series of bloody battles against the Chinese government.

According to the Chinese officials, the article said that "as many as 100,000 Tibetans had been killed in the insurrection". However, "the Dalai Lama continues to claim that more than one million Tibetans were massacred by Chinese troops; although that figure is in doubt, due to the fact that Tibet's population at the end of the Second World War was only 1.5 million, and today is approaching 3 million."

The author also pointed out that the Dalai Lama’s position on some controversial issues seems to fluctuate according to which group he is addressing. "Overseas, and in his writings, he equates abortion to murder, and calls homosexuality a sin and a crime. When speaking to U.S. audiences, however, he says he favors abortion when a child will be born ‘retarded,’ or when the birth will be an unnecessary inconvenience to the mother. He now says he supports gay marriage, and even calls himself a ‘feminist’ (despite the fact that women were bought and sold as slaves when he ruled Tibet, and polygamy was widely practiced). "

The author also expressed his wrath at the financial support that the US government provided to the Dalai Lama and his clique by saying "And yet, our government continues to support this deposed dictator with taxpayer largesse. According to the article, the CTA paid the Dalai Lama a personal annual salary of $150,000. And the U.S. Congress continued to allocate an annual $2 million to Tibetans in India, with additional millions for 'democracy activities' within the Tibetan exile community now.

At the end of the article, the author concluded "All in all, His Holiness is a pretty nasty piece of work. Dispelled from his bloody theocratic dictatorship, this ‘reincarnated’ demigod now roams the earth--and places like Louisville--looking for suckers who are ignorant enough of his past and true nature to fork over their dough for a chance to listen to this fraud prattle on about ‘compassion’ and ‘contemplation’."
