Attacks on Falun Gong practitioners in New York (report)

The chinese embassy in New York started inciting the chinese community to disturb and attack Falun Gong practitioners. The way they did this was simple: claim Falun Gong practitioners where not giving money to the disaster relief for the Sichuan Earthquake (which is not true).

I hate protesters that get beat up and do nothing. "Oh, poor me, I'm such a victim, somebody please help us..." Until you stand up and fight for what you believe in, you're just a bunch of pussies looking for media attention and sympathizers. Why should I have any respect for your kind?

@MikesMethods: you must find Gandhi and MLK absolutely despicable...

[MikesMethods]

@Supenmanu, well, when MLK made speeches, his people started riots and burned down buildings. Attacked police. They fought for their beliefs. And even today they are feared and respected. Comedians on TV like to use words like wetback, chink, raghead...but you say the word NIGGER, and all hell breaks loose with lawsuits or an old fashion ass whoppin. I don't know enough about Gandhi to comment.

[Supenmanu]

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

It's funny what propaganda can do. This video emphasize on pro-chinese attacking Falun Gong. Reading the comments, there is strong hate on the people attacking the falun gong people. On the other videos, it tells the story of Falun gong people celebrating the earthquake in china and that's why people attacked. There is strong hate on Falun Gong on those videos. If people had a permit to celebrate the earthquake in Haiti , won't you start throwing rocks at them? I would

@ zbnawbc: "It's funny what propaganda can do."

Yes it is... it's sad actually. The Nazis claimed the Jews had celebrated the burning down of the Reichstag. Nero claimed the Christians celebrated the destruction of Rome.

After the people heard those totalitarian regimes framing those innocent religious groups they believed it without question and when they saw Jews or Christians just walking down the street, they started attacking them.

So yea... It's funny what propaganda can do...

@eroddy84

I don't want to spend money on a book, how about you prove me that Li Hongzhi didn't make everything up and released his creation in 1992?

[eroddy84]

@busha5a5a5 Its a fact..Read the book then you'll know the reality ..

[busha5a5a5]

@eroddy84

You got no proof.

[eroddy84]

@busha5a5a5 @busha5a5a5 Falun Gong IS an Ancient Cultivation Practice deeply rooted in Buddhist ideology It is extremely old and was passed down from one Master to a chosen disciple until 1992 when Mr Li Hongzhi made it public. Falun Gong previous to that was unknown publicly but it certainly DID exist.

[eroddy84]

It certainly IS deeply rooted in Buddhist beliefs. Yes originally Buddhism Came from India but it has influenced most Asian countries where it spread. Buddhism spread to China an Extremely Long time ago. If you read the book you would be able to find out the truth,

@eroddy84

I beg to differ, Falun Gong is not Traditional, it came into existence in 1992. It is contemporary, it is in no way traditional. I have never said that Communism is Chinese Culture, I didn't even slightly suggest that it was culture. It's a political ideology. Eastern Europe? The Communist Manifesto was published in Germany, which is central, not eastern Europe. Buddhism is Indian. Falun Gong is not buddhist, it is bullshit. Ancient? 1992. Communism? 1949 Which is first? 1949 or 1992?

[eroddy84]

@busha5a5a5 FG Is REAL Chinese Culture. Communism is not real Chinese Culture it came from Eastern Europe. It has Nothing to do with China and no real links. In reality China has a long beautiful history of Virtue and high moral Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are all deeply rooted in Real Chinese Culture. Falun Gong is a teaching of the Buddhist School and is Very ancient therefore it is more REAL Chinese culture than anything to do with Communism which is new compared to Chinas history.

@Deuszxable Overseas chinese can be Strongly influenced by their government regardless of where they are.
