Jiang's Despotic Rule Goes Against Heavenly Principle -- Sudden River Rise and Great Flooding
Editorial comment: Ancient Chinese peoples societies held a prevalent belief that "Heaven and man are inter-connected" and that large-scale, natural disasters are often resultant from a ruler's corruption and tyranny. In the years when great natural disasters took place, high government officials often directly pointed out and criticized the ruler's mistakes; and the ruler often blamed himself and asked forgiveness from the heavens and the people. Nowadays, technology is very advanced, yet it fails to resist the power of natural disasters. Modern medical science studies reincarnation and has already discovered that a man's life is arranged by high-level beings. Because of these findings, the natural and man-made disasters may not be the coincidence? During the past three years of dictator Jiang Zemin's persecution of Falun Gong, flooding in certain areas of China has became more and more serious, flooding this year is especially worrisome. This phenomenon is worth to ponder. Could it be that this is the heavens' warning to man, telling the people of China that the victims of Jiang Zemin's despotic rule are not only the Falun Gong practitioners who cultivate their hearts and become good people, but that all Chinese people are the victims? In order to protect our common interest and welfare, we should together stop Jiang Zemin's tyrannical atrocities.
