(Clearwisdom.net) Jiang used money to attract a "welcoming group," slander Falun Gong and begged for U.S.'s protection before his visit. Such a dictator, in control of huge government machinery is afraid of a civil organization? Falun Gong practitioners are only asking for their most basic right, to cultivate in their belief system. What happened during the past three years has proven that Falun Gong practitioners have endured tremendous mistreatment, yet they were always compassionate and tolerant. Tens of thousands of people were brutally persecuted, yet no one ever responded with violence. They have truly left the splendid image of Truth, Compassion, Tolerance for the world's people to see.
Several months ago in Iceland, Jiang told certain representatives in the Icelandic government that Falun Gong would take "extreme measures." When we clarified the truth to Icelandic government officials, they asked us if what we told them was true. We smiled and asked these officials, "Who would be so scared and treat everyone as an enemy? The reason is simple. He, by his orders, has killed too many innocent people and committed all sorts of crimes, and so he feels insecure wherever he goes. Would you be scared like that if you visited overseas? Of course not, because you didn't do anything bad." The officials smiled in agreement and said that, indeed, the whole world acknowledges Falun Gong practitioners' rationality and peaceable nature.
In China, Falun Gong practitioners persist in their great compassion and tolerance cultivated from Dafa, even in extremely brutal environments. They never returned a blow or a curse and even clarified the truth to the police who tortured them. Many police officers with a sense of conscience became ashamed and were no longer willing to listen to their superior's orders to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
In countries around the world, Falun Gong practitioners persisted in peaceful protests and moved many police officers with their kindness, perseverance and sincerity. In many places such as Chicago, the police understand and support the practitioners and no longer require a permit for the practitioners. Instead, they told the practitioners, "We'll be here to protect you at all times."
Jiang's lies abroad will not play well. In order to save face and continue the inhuman persecution, this dictator condemned other countries' criticism of his ways as "interfering with other country's internal affairs." He brutalized so many innocent Falun Gong practitioners, yet he does not want to hear a single voice of protest. Without any legitimate reason, he demonizes Falun Gong practitioners and pretends the practitioners will attack him causing him to seek protection. Jiang has played this trick several times and he successfully fooled representatives from the German and Icelandic governments as well as officials from some smaller countries. Now, he even wants to use his tricks in the United States of America.
The reason he wants to play tricks is none other than the fact that he has a guilty conscience. He is afraid to have the truth exposed. U.S. government entities and the people of the USA support Falun Gong practitioners' human rights and have issued many proclamations to that effect, which is the best answer for the dictator. More and more people have learned the truth that Jiang treats Falun Gong as his personal enemy. He failed to root out Falun Gong after boasting several times, "Elimination within three months." So, of course he is scared to death, because Falun Dafa will never go away! As the leader of a great country, he trembles all the time during his visits abroad because of his guilty conscience from brutalizing the innocent.
We know that all this evil will not last. Our practitioners' entirely peaceable and rational demeanor, as a whole, that image we present, comes from Dafa cultivation and is very precious. We will persist until the end, until Jiang's lies are completely exposed, until such a time when practitioners in China are also able to practice out in the open, like we can.
