How many people here remember seeing the man killed by a tank in Tiananmen Square?

Thanks.... :backtotopic:

I remember seeing the man but I thought he was dragged away? (T . Square)

- to the original thread title; if one reads, sees and digests all the anomalies both real and fake that can be found in an instant doesn't that inevitably lead to ones thoughts being guided, occluded, taken to places that lead you to question 'is this 'normal' -' something doesn't feel right' . For me, in simple terms, I see the human race embracing what ever is thrown at them as, as a collective we have given our 'power' away to tptb and as much as I hate the word become sheeple who lap up whatever is fed via MSM, Hollywood etc.

How many of us are there that have the ability of analytical, unbiased thinking and use rigorous intuition ? not many is my guess - maybe we are the 'other 1%' .
Though I feel a fraud talking as if an equal to the might of most of the posters Intellectual capacity and down right braininess. : )

I so totally relate to this.
Ponderings:

When we pose - "something doesn't feel right" - is it worth asking at what level?
A piece of iron ore may think itself senselessly tortured in the furnace, but when it looks back as a finest blade of Damascus steel, it knows better.

In the context of the possible existence of galaxy spanning, billion year old civilisations, it may be that all events on earth are merely the equivalent of a summer school evolutionary biology project for an 'advanced' A.I.

Is there a threshold of connection forming between the nodes of an Infra-Gaian network (nodes like you and me) which can only be achieved by the creation (and insertion) of a predator sub-species, one which provides a certain type of high bandwidth 'pipe' between it's members (one psychopaths knowledge of a another's psychopathy) , the 'resistance' of the rest of the nodes against this sub-network eventually providing the creation of a 'resonance' that enables the energetic re-configuration and and transformation of the entire Gaian network into one capable of integration and interface with the existing GalacticNetwork, of which Gaia will be another conscious, awakened node.

My point in framing the Tiananmen question is because barely anything else makes me feel like something is not right as when I informally poll folks who were cognizant in 1989 about what they saw on the news about the man in Tiananmen Square. I have always remembered it as I'm pretty sure it's always been: that he stood in front of the tank, it tried to go around, he climbed up on the tank, and was eventually scuttled away by another person. An unfathomable number of people remember him as being run over. I don't think coverage in 1989 of the situation in the square was live so I don't see how they would have seen this, but many people I've spoken to insist. I think it's some form of projection based on the still image of him standing in front of the tank. I don't misremember much so it's hard for me to imagine that so many people misremember video footage of the man being run over. They are so adamant about it.

I think real rigorous intuition describes an aspiration that most of us can only put practice towards.

I can't find any footage of him being escorted away.



Interestingly Tank Man is a mystery to this day. No one seems to know who he is/was or what became of him, although there are plenty of theories.

I never remember seeing him run over. I would remember that.

This is all I could find of the end. It's kind of weird, the longer video seems to have disappeared from the web.

There's a 2-page thread about it:

The documentary Assignment China: Tiananmen Square, referenced in the OP of that thread, is available here: http://china.usc.edu/assignment-china-tiananmen-square.

Look at that, I even post on it, multiple times, and repeat myself. I should have searched, something I'm normally pretty good about.

It recently came up because I just had this conversation online, again, with a rather large group of self-assured people. I was immediately reminded of this thread because a couple of them expressed discomfort with reality.

Ha!

How is it possible to post on a thread, even multiple times and repeat oneself and then have posting amnesia? I have read posts that I have written at RI that I had no memory of the thread topic even having been discussed, never mind what I had written. Other times I have had a window arrange so I didnt see the writer and read a post of mine and it totally didnt click that I had written it - bizarre!

I'm glad it's not just me. I've been reading older threads where l'll think "who the fuck is this guy I'm reading?" And I glance down and its me. And I stop and wonder if I still agree with myself. NO memory of writing what I wrote WHATSOEVER. And I quit drinking years before posting here.

I remember the standoff and the fellow moving to stay in its path. But I also remember seeing a body, not his, run over. Perhaps his death was caused by the military's advance during the night. Or is it now being claimed there was no body run over by a tank?

But the guy who stood in front of the tank was disappeared, afaik.

Well that's what they told us.
