To what extent Falun Gong had legitimacy of its own in the beginning, I can’t say with authority. But since it came into view of the west, it has functioned in the same way as the Dalai Lama and “Free Tibet” gang – as a CIA weapon against China.

One need not look much further than the well-funded “Friends of Falun Gong” founded in 2000 by Mark Palmer, who also co-founded the National Endowment for Democracy with George Soros, and sits on the board of Freedom House. This is how organized crime directs its cash through CIA-sponsored “non-profits” dedicated to opening up more opportunities for organized crime.

Does anyone really think even the brutal Chinese Communist Party would suppress a group dedicated to “gentle exercise and meditation”? This is preposterous. China has many internal problems, but it also has a rapidly ascending economy based on state-protected manufacturing, agriculture, and incredible projects of infrastructure and scientific discovery around the world. For example, the Chinese state, not Falun Gong, is fast approaching commercially viable thorium reactors, which turn sand into practically unlimited nuclear power and can’t melt down. The real split in China is between the decaying Communist Party and the former “Youth League” factions who have driven China’s evolution from US vassal to protectionist state, and whose goals are to bring what Tony B. described as “capital diffused among the many” into its fullness.

Any dissident group not driven by a concrete political-economic program should not be taken seriously, and when they receive this much attention should be viewed with extreme suspicion.

According to the CCPs twisted logic Falun Gong is a cult that endangers the Chinese society and that is not my words, that is what they say. If we look at the essence of communism it is the opposite of Falun Gong´s essence. Communism wants to control people´s minds and make them have endless conflicts and material desires in order that they don´t have any energy left to replace their government or think about becoming better people.

My understanding is that Falun Gong tells people to be good people with less material desires, harmonize their conflicts and keep fit. When 100 million people start thinking like that the CCP becomes scared because their only way to keep power is to make people evil and materialistic. So actually you are right about one thing here, we will be suspicious of Falun Gong and other spiritual movements since there are so many evil things out there. In my opinion Falun Gong is the exception that confirms the rule. Therefore I challenge people to investigate Falun Gong by themselves, study the books, try the exercises and then come back and tell us what is evil in Falun Gong? It is easy to have conspiracy theories and talk about things in a roundabout way but at the end of the day we need to show the real evidence. As for Mark Palmer I have no idea about who he was except what is public information on Wikipedia. Obviously he passed away a few years ago.

Falun Gong has been out there for 24 years and still there is no membership, no tangible assets and no positions in the Falun Gong movement. That is really scary to the CCP since they can´t infiltrate without a tangible organization. For all other religions it´s easy to deal with since they have tangible assets and a hierarchy that can be infiltrated.

Please don’t make me weep anymore with articles like this. Jerusalem is not China, China is not Jerusalem. Jerusalem is Jerusalem. Falun Gong also has its own spiritual agenda. Far from being the actual beast itself, China is in fact a potential Christian nation in the making and currently has more Christians than any other nation on Earth. Communism in China is unlikely to live beyond 70 years and Christianity could well take over as the glue that holds it all together. Just like in the Roman Empire. This does not mean that capitalist China as a part of the rising globalising world system is not also a part of the beast. It is. For the globalising world system is the beast, whether composed of Communist, Capitalist or Christian nations. Nations, unlike individuals, can operate on several levels at the same time. Take England. What Tony B. is talking about by saying England declined when Protestantism took over the monasteries I have no idea. As a Protestant Christian nation England ruled the world and God blessed her. Yet England along with the US, two of the most Christian nations ever at some point in their history, have between them managed to create the globalising world system. God will bless a nation insofar as they serve his wider agenda to complete his Great Commission, but that does not mean they cannot also be the tool of Satan. England and the US served the Great Commission even as they were used of Satan to create his Empire. China too will serve both masters because that is the nature of nations in a world on which a Cosmic War between God and Satan is being fought. Nations are composed of people on both sides of this moral divide. Please, lets have a little more intelligent flexibility in our thinking.

FGT replies: I agree very much with you on the facts about good and evil being
balanced in the world. In my humble opinion I believe you will find the
worst people and the best people in China. It´s just the extremes which
are further away from each other.

While Christianity is an orthodox religion just like a few others are, I
must be honest with you and say that Christianity at this stage has been
destroyed from the inside by people who are disbelievers. So I don´t
believe it has the same power as before in any nation. An organization
is not stronger than its members.

About the Bible Swedenborg gave us a thorough explanation of its inner
contents, ie in the book "True Christianity". In that book he tells us
that there is virtually an inner meaning behind every sentence in the
Bible, but it´s impossible for an ordinary person to discern it. Hence,
I believe it is good to have a humble attitude to the possibility of the
Lord´s scriptures having a deeper meaning than just the surface meaning.

If you study many prophecies you will be amazed at the number of
prophecies pointing to Asia and China as the focal point of the end
times.

What is too seldom mentioning when describing communism is that it is ALWAYS a creation of capitalists. In fact, the best description I have ever found for communism is "super capitalism" wherein the capitalists, who franchise the state as their property, own everything, including the people. Even the Chinese communist takeover was largely financed out of the U.S. along with the U.S. sabotage of Chiang Kai-shek's efforts.

If this is not mentioned it only strengthens the false belief in capitalism. Instead people need to understand free enterprise, the difference between "capital in the hands of the few" (capitalism) and "capital diffused among the many" (local business owned by local people taking care of local needs).

England, birthplace of capitalism, thrived for many centuries on cottage industries and work and care provided by the monasteries but has gone downhill into misery and poverty ever since the wealth of the Catholic Church was, by force, stolen by "the reformers" who then had that stolen capital to set up the original greed system of capitalism with the help of the talmudists who came along with that reformation of English civilization.

Notice that the ChiComs rely on oath taking. Oath taking is the main scourge to mankind. This should never be done by anyone as oath taking is completely evil.
The Chinese economy is a mess. The reason for it, in addition to the communism, is the low birthrate and the low wages. If any country has low wages, then they will be always poor even if they have a lot of work.

Communism is a slave system. When people go out to vote, they are really voting for their slave masters. Communists will always allow a certain amount of a free market because they still need something to steal. If they implemented total communism, the system would collapse even faster.

Most of the governments are communist in varying degrees of style. The style may be different, but the substance is the same. Fascism is communism; just a different style. China has the hardcore version of the same thing.

Maybe P. R. of China is different.

I grew up in Socialist Republic of Romania where we had pioneers (primary school) and youth league (high school), but were jokes which very few people, students and teachers, took them seriously. The school was mandatory, so no way to be expelled when in primary. The commanders, classmates, were democratically, seriously, elected among the best students. Was cool to have stripes, belts and badges when we were kids, we played cowboys with the red neckerchief, but a pain in the ass when we were teenagers even they rarely bother us.

The college trainees that I had in North America believed that we wear uniforms all the time and we were starving to death. They were surprised to find out that we had night clubs which, I had to admit, in the last years of ”communist regime” closed the doors earlier, at midnight.

I'm not trying to paint it in pink, there were a lot of bad things, but wasn't so bad as some people were trained to expect.
