The Stockholm Syndrome and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party By Shuzhen (Clearwisdom.net) "He was a big part of my life." The
Austrian girl, Natascha Kampusch, who had been held hostage for more than eight
years, cried out when she learned of her kidnapper's suicide. Natascha Kampusch, the victim in a well-known kidnapping case, has recently
garnered many people's attention. She was kidnapped on March 2, 1998, at the age
of 10, while she was on her way to school. She was confined in a basement. The
kidnapper threatened that he would kill all her loved ones and neighbors if she
tried to escape, and she believed him, which made her give up many opportunities
to escape. After Natascha finally escaped on August 23, 2006, her kidnapper
committed suicide. Common sense indicates that Natascha should have felt relieved. However, she
unexpectedly considered the kidnapper a part of her life. She felt sad and cried
in pain. Psychiatric experts at the police department believe that Natascha was
suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome. This psychological response to trauma, identified by the medical community as
the Stockholm Syndrome, became widely known and caught the attention of the
medical community after a bank-robbery in 1973 in Stockholm, Sweden. Among the
four bank employees who had been held hostage by the robbers, two went to court
to testify in favor of the kidnapper. One of the female employees even became
engaged to marry one of the kidnappers while he was still serving his sentence.
She later married him. During extreme conditions, such as when the victim's life is at risk, a
victim who is in close contact with the perpetrator may gradually generate
positive yet abnormal feelings toward the perpetrator. This mainly happens
because people's strong desire to live has turned into a kind of loyalty to the
perpetrator. In this case any slight letting up of the kidnapper's cruelty is
imagined by the victim as being favorably treated. Furthermore, the victim may
generate feelings of gratitude toward the kidnapper in response to remaining
alive. This kind of psychological defense mechanism, which happens to some
hostage victims, indicates that the victim has suffered from tremendous trauma. Unfortunately, this kind of trauma has been widely suffered by people in
China. Although many Chinese people have clearly understood the evil nature of
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and many even hold significant hatred towards
the CCP, they still show strong symptoms reminiscent of the Stockholm Syndrome.
When it is suggested that they withdraw from the evil party and its related
organizations, and/or when they imagine the collapse of the CCP, a couple of
common concerns come up: "How will I live after I withdraw from it?"
"How would China survive without the CCP?" It seems to them that
without the CCP, they would not continue living their lives and China would not
continue to function or even exist. The Chinese nation has been held hostage and degraded by the CCP for over
fifty years. Chinese people in the hundreds of millions, both in and outside of
China, have been directly or indirectly persecuted during various political
movements. However, just like the Swedish bank employee who actively returned to the
"embrace" of her kidnapper, many of the Chinese who escaped from the
CCP's control and came to this free world have never mentioned their experiences
or their suffering. The Chinese people are exibiting the way of thinking taught
to them by the CCP, which always promotes "looking forward." It is
this "teaching" which enables the CCP to escape from its past crimes.
Some of these overseas Chinese even "embrace" the CCP and then take
the CCP, the root cause of their suffering, as their "lifelong
reliance." Just as Natascha took the kidnapper as a part of her own life,
many Chinese people have unknowingly considered themselves to share the CCP's
future. They are worried that China will be in turmoil without the CCP , just
like Natascha's being worried that her dear ones and neighbors would be killed. The CCP has repeatedly claimed that China would be in turmoil without its
leadership. However, like the kidnapper's killing himself immediately after
Natascha's successful escape, the CCP can only accept its demise after people
give it up. China will go toward stability and goodness after eliminating the
most evil and destructive factor causing turmoil within it. On the other hand, those who are unwilling to get away from the CCP, although
they are the victims, have unknowingly become the actual supporters of the
evildoers' continuing to run rampant. While the kidnappers continue to commit
their crimes, think about it, what destinies await those who have suffered from
the Stockholm Syndrome and loath to part from the perpetrators? Aren't these
people's lives in danger at the hands of the dying CCP? Of course, what makes the CCP different from the kidnappers is that the CCP
is an evil specter existing in another dimension that is fundamentally against
humanity and the universe. It controls people's behaviors by controlling
people's thoughts. The CCP's members (including members of the Youth League and
Young Pioneers) are essentially hostages of the evil specter. Some of these
hostages have behaved as "faithful" members of the CCP and actively
carry out its bidding. They have become the actual perpetrators to kidnap more
hostages. They can hardly run away from the fate of simultaneous demise with the
CCP. If those individuals who have been kidnapped by the CCP truly want to get
away from their captors and ensuing danger, they should first get realize that
they are suffering from an abnormal psychological condition. The best medicine
to cure this abnormality is the Nine Commentaries on the Communist
Party. Once people wake up from the nightmare and truly understand the evil nature
of the CCP, who would not be willing to be like Natascha, who finally took
control of her own destiny and reclaimed her freedom? September 14, 2006 Posting date: 9/30/2006 |
