Use of Brainwashing Programs Highlighted by Persecution of Famous Doctor
2004-08-01As a result of this heroic action, the kindhearted doctor was detained at a brainwashing centre run by the Military Commission of the Chinese Communist Central Committee. This organisation is under Jiang's control, the same individual who reaped the benefits of the massacre on June 4, 1989. Dr. Jiang Yanyong has captured the world's attention. Even so, Jiang's group still abducted him and has forced him to be subjected to brainwashing without the restriction of laws or moral principles. This case reflects the brutal nature of Jiang Zemin's group. -

The Ban on Falun Gong -- a Dictator's Whim, Not the Rule of Law (Part I)
2004-07-31First, this announcement totally violated the Chinese Constitution that guarantees freedom of belief, association, and assembly.

My Friend, the Hotdog Vendor

The owner replied, "As long as you think this is important." -
The Jiang Regime's Use of "Psychiatry"
2004-07-27Over the past five years, Jiang's regime has abused the psychiatric field to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. This has been a two-pronged campaign.

After Five Years of Persecution, People's Attitude Have Changed from Worrying when Falun Gong Would be Defeated to Discussing when the Persecution Will End
2004-07-25If we only look at a moment in history, often we feel the victim is too weak to oppose the persecutor. However, if we look at the entire history, we find that the victim often defeats the persecutor. The reason is that what determines the outcome of the battle is not the power, but which side gains the world's support. The Roman Empire was once very powerful; however, its persecution of Christians led to its destruction. Now Christianity is in prosperity. Hitler killed Jewish people, but now Nazis are despised everywhere and Jewish people are prospering. -

Falun Dafa Rebuilds A Moral Foundation and Holds Eternal Hope for Mankind
2004-07-24After these five years, people are surprised to see that Falun Gong has tenaciously survived the most barbaric, most vicious and most over-powering persecution in the history of human civilisation. Falun Gong practitioners never did anything wrong; not only that - Falun Gong is widely practised in China and in many other parts around the world. This is the only civilian organisation that the CCP hasn't been able to destroy in all of its political movements.
