Tiananmen 20th anniversary of brutal democracy massacre brings new repression from China's Rulling Junta Thugs
~Christopher Bodeen

~Chinese police aggressively deterred dissent on Thursday's 20th anniversary of the merciless crackdown on democracy activists in Tiananmen Square. Foreign journalists were barred from the vast square as uniformed and plainclothes police stood guard across the area which was the epicenter of the student-led movement that was crushed by the military on the night of June 3-4, 1989. ~Photo above of a Worker Shredding bullet used by the Chinese Army murderers, courtesy of Christusrex

There Was No
"Tiananmen Square Massacre"

~This story was filed by CBS News correspondent Richard Roth, who was detained by Chinese authorities for 20 hours on June 4, 1989, while covering the Tiananmen Square "crackdown".
But there's no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it — mostly in the western part of Beijing. Maybe, for some, comfort can be taken in the fact that the government denies that, too.
