"Suck My Tongue"
Why the Dalai Lama's controversial video with the boy won't get brushed aside, excused, or defended outside the media matrix.
The Dalai Lama’s title is “His Holiness.”
Yeah, um…might need to rethink that title.
You may have heard the big news today about a controversial video circulating of the Dalai Lama.
He was speaking in front of what looked like a group of schoolchildren somewhere in India—where the Dalai Lama—a.k.a. Tenzin Gyatso—lives.
We see a boy ask “His Holiness” for a hug during the event.
The Dalai Lama agrees and asks the boy to come up on stage. Then, Gyatso also requests a kiss—which the boy does reluctantly on the lips.
Then things got weirder—after the kiss, there were 13 seconds of pure awkwardness, and then the Dalai Lama said,
“Suck My Tongue”
The religious leader then sticks out his tongue and moves in close to the boy, who starts to, but ultimately does not do it, thankfully.
You may think, “Well, Matthieu, the Dalai Lama has apologized.”
But the investigative work of Jamie Dlux provides disturbing context to this incident that some are trying to brush off as no big deal.
The Dalai Lama had a puzzling entanglement with NXIVM—that crazy sex cult where the women were branded with the cult leader’s initials. Remember that? (For a refresher on NXIVM, read The Wild Story of the Heiress Who Gave Her Fortune to NXIVM.)
I’ll drop Jamie’s tweet here that contains one of his brilliant videos where you can see not only the Dalai Lama’s cringe “suck my tongue” video, Jamie also covers the Dalai Lama’s ties to NXIVM and the cherry on top—his shilling for the covid jab. Now there’s a big surprise. 😒.
(Twitter has not yet restored embed links in Substack. That’s a troubling issue that will hopefully get fixed soon. If not, it could be a bad sign—but that’s for another post.)

It turns out, it's something cultural.
Still, it is offensive and insensitive towards those who are not familiar with the Tibetan culture, and the DL lived in London, England, long enough to know better...
There are so many stories these days where my reaction bounces between, "well that got fucking crazy" and "you know I should have seen that coming."
