Banned!

It appears that my blog may have been banned by my gracious Chinese hosts/overlords. I can still access blogger.com (obviously) but trying to get onto my blog itself and read it is impossible. I get the usual "go somewhere else" screen you sometimes get in China.

If you're in China, it's not likely you're reading this, but I'd appreciate it if someone who is in China can read this then please drop me a line. Maybe it's something else, or temporary.

I guess that post with all of the Chinese "red-flag" words finally got processed by some database in Beijing. That was over a month ago. Typical socialist inefficiency, I guess.

Oh well. I have to get going, I've got a big secret meeting with some Falun Gong members, and I have to plan for my democratic protest this evening. Oh, and tomorrow I'm going to read some passages from the Bible in the town square. And then maybe burn a picture of Mao.

I have to get out of this country.

Usually blogspot gets banned a few times each month.

I am in China.

I guess you said such words as "Falungong、bible、democratic protest" to test if it gets banned or not? I wanna let you know I read this post without problem. Your blog is accessible, to me, at least. Do your gracious Chinese hosts/overlords also know who is good(like me), and who is bad(like somebody else) behind computer screens and therefore decide who can read? ;-)

My guess would be no.

Obviously my silly question got a silly answer...
