   I am in the middle of reading the book, Oracle Bones, right now.
   You probably cannot believe how well this picture accompanies
   that book.

   I saw a documentary online that changed my mind about whether Tiananmen Masaccre actually happened.
   I encourage those who believe the mainstream media to watch it. It is available on PBS free of charge.

   The timing footage i quote above were taken from part 3 of the free online versio at:

   http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tankman/view/

   Critic of the Tank Man video:

   I only concentrated on part 3 which is the massacre section.

   =========================
   At 1:38 Part3,

   The bald man said, “A lot of people went down, 30-40 people went down….”

   The film footage at 1:48 and the surrounding footage did not show any dead bodies lying on the ground. Only bicycles.
   =========================

   At 2:25, the bald man said, “Suddenly there appears an ambulance….and they rushed in amongst all the people on the ground, and the soldiers open fire again and mow them down.”

   The footage begining at 2:36 showed the ambulance crashing into a traffic light followed by a loud bang.

   This is an auto accident. It is unlikely that the driver was shot because if you look at the crowd reaction, the crowd were not running away from the soldiers. They would have started running if there were gunshots.

   This appear to be a wrong accusation.
   ==========================

   Even though I wasn’t at the Square, I used to think that given the massive media coverage of the event about number of deaths, some deaths must have occured. But after watching the documentary, I am now not so sure if they are all unprovoked. The eyewitness accounts all seem so distorted, exaggerated, and self-believed. Perhaps there were accidental deaths, or deaths provoked by protestors attacking the military. But deaths due to a peaceful protest? I now have my doubts. Even the video Rebecca put up showed the students attacking and burning the tanks. It showed no military personel firing at the students. However, you will find this in the PBS documentary, but you will also see that the protestors first threw stones at them. There were however random warning shots which may have hit some high rise buildings.

   As part of the internet community, we can collect video evidence and present them one by one highlighting like what I did above to prove guilt or innocence. To credit or discredit eyewitness accounts. This should be the first step.

   The biggest problem about coming clean about the incident is that the masses have already made up their mind about who is guilty. They watched the videos without any critical mindset.

   It is very difficult to get the government to apologize. For example, America has yet to apologize for the Bonus March.

   But please if anyone has tht time, go to the PBS website and listen to those eyewitness accounts and the videos, and tell me if those eyewitness are not lying.
