Making Stuff Up



As my three readers know, I don't like Obama. I like him even less (if that's possible) after receiving one of my W2's in the mail yesterday. Let's just say I could have bought a house in many parts of the US with the amount of federal taxes that was withheld, and my tax guy thinks I have to pay more on April 15th.

Anyway, no matter how much Obama acts like a wannabe socialist, he's nothing compared with Mao. Actually, no one can compare with Mao when it comes to mass murder... except maybe Stalin. Back on topic, I saw a webpage that pointed me to this at the Academy of Marxism/Chinese Academy of Social Sciences:
美国总统奥巴马对毛主席的惊人评价

什么是外交?外交就是内政,这两者绝不是两码事,不是。也就是说,一个国家,国民要使自己成为国家的主人,这种愿望是民主主义的根本。在这同时,大政方针,天下兴亡,匹夫有责。民众的政治责任感的强弱,也就在相应程度上决定了国家外交的强弱。在这个意义上,外交难道不就是内政吗?曾经有毛泽东这样的政治家,是好是坏历史会有说法。
  作为一位没怎么出过国的政治家,他在中国获得了压倒性的支持后,在外交领域,他使中国在世界上的存在感变得非常卓着。曾经有一段时期,毛泽东毫不畏惧与我们美国对峙并一路走来。可见,执政党在自己的国内获得毫不含糊的支持,国民以天下为己任,在某些场合为了保家卫国、为了国家的未来,不惜付出些许代价,一个国家有了这样的力量,外交才会有根本的力量。国之力在民,民之力是外交之力、是外交最基本的原理。这是我对毛泽东的外交感触最深的地方。

Supposedly this is a translation of a speech by Obama where he praises Mao on foreign policy and defense. If you put the text through Google Translate, you get this gibberish:
What is diplomacy? diplomacy is domestic, both of which are not two different things, not the other words, a country nationals to make their own masters of the country, this desire is the root of democracy at the same time, major policies, rise and fall of every man's duty. the strength of people's sense of political responsibility, will determine the appropriate extent, the strength of the country's foreign in this sense, foreign affairs do not that it? there was Mao Zedong's politicians, is History will say good or bad.
  How not been abroad as a statesman, he won a landslide in China's support in the diplomatic field, he makes the presence of China in the world with a sense of very Zhuo. There was a time, Mao Zedong without fear confrontation with the United States and along the way we are. Can be seen, the ruling party in their own country to obtain unequivocal support, national responsibility to the world, in some cases to defend the country, for the country's future, to pay a little at the price, a country with such a force, diplomacy will have a fundamental strength. State power in the people, the people's power is the power of diplomacy, is the most basic principles of diplomacy. This is my deepest thoughts and feelings of Mao Zedong's diplomatic areas.

What is the "Academy of Marxism" and why are they making up sh*t like this? This is so easy to disprove. Are Chinese netizens so lazy or brainwashed that they won't search for the original quote, if it exists? This is terribly inept propaganda... somebody needs to be fired or at least lose their ernai privileges.
