It is with great sadness that the Chinese government is once again proving that it is a mind control cult.
Information control is one of the principle components of mind control.
Indeed, by forcing members of the sect to go to political re-education programs, by destoying books, and forbidding assembly of Falun Gong members, they clearly are doing mind control on their citizens. I predict that the Chinese government is making a huge mistake- and these actions will force Falun Gong members to go underground, and will focus world opinion against them. As far as the U.S. government's decision to continue present economic relations with China, I think the Clinton administration is doing the right thing. As a human rights advocate, my perspective on China was changed radically about how to best serve the fight for human rights there. In 1990 I took a one day trip inside China and talked with many people.
