At present, for
every disciple both inside and outside of China, clarifying the truth of
Falun Gong to people around the world is the most important task in "assisting
the teacher in the human world".
No
Falsehood Can Defend the Suppression of Falun Gong --
A Commentary on Jiang Zemin’s Statements in an Interview on CBS Apparently
Jiang Zemin, the president of China, in a country of 1.3 billion people, is
still trying to deceive the world by twisting the facts.
In an exclusive interview with CBS reporter Mike Wallace, Jiang Zemin
uttered new falsehoods in regards to Falun Gong. It is incomprehensible that the
material created by the Chinese government's propaganda machine over the past
year is no longer effective. This
is because Jiang Zemin has now escalated the rumors created by the propaganda
machine. The strangest falsehood
among them is probably that "Falun Gong has driven thousands of
practitioners to commit suicide." The
Chinese propaganda machine has spent so much manpower, as well as material and
financial resources, to spread the rumor that "practicing Falun Gong has
caused the deaths of 1,400 people" throughout the world.
In the beginning, this made many people who didn't know the truth about
Falun Gong very wary of the practice. However,
Falun Gong practitioners, through great compassion and forbearance, have
persisted in safeguarding Dafa and telling the truth to the world.
They have enabled more kindhearted people to understand Falun Gong, and
to also realize the daily deterioration of the Chinese government's propaganda.
Now Jiang Zemin has no choice but to turn "1,400 deaths" into
"thousands of suicides." "1,400"
has turned into "thousands," and the previously claimed
"deaths" have turned into "suicides" – this is no small
exaggeration! Jiang Zemin may hope
that now people will consider Falun Gong is a "cult".
However, this falsehood is too grandiose and too farfetched, and the
result has been just the opposite. Not
only do people not believe his distortions of the facts, but they also hold the
president of such a big country in contempt. Why
would Jiang Zemin disregard his own dignity, his country's reputation, and the
consequences of spreading such ludicrous statements? The strangeness of his
position reveals his inner fear and vacuity.
At the time, he boldly stated, "I don’t believe that I cannot
crush Falun Gong." He single-handedly directed and controlled the
suppression of Falun Gong. He
treated millions of kindhearted people as enemies, when in actuality; he was
positioning himself in opposition to the common people. Jiang Zemin's
craftiness, cruelty, and endless hunger for power have made him forget the
rights of his people. Good will be
rewarded, and evil repaid. Actually,
Jiang Zemin has probably already realized this, which is why he may have some
trepidation about Falun Gong. Whenever
he sees Falun Gong or Falun Gong practitioners, he quickly darts away. His
public actions expose his feeble inner nature.
He knows that he must depend on twisted facts to survive, and yet when he
is revealed, awaiting him is the universe’s retribution. Jiang
Zemin is risking it all on his last chance.
His cruel and wicked methods of persecution are already known to the
world. Only by disregarding
everything and using any and all means against Falun Gong can he
"prove" that suppression is reasonable.
However, no matter how bloody or twisted the lie, it is still a lie.
When enough people see through Jiang's hypocrisy and cruelty, perhaps the
truth will be unveiled. [Translation
