Reference: Boxun Net Summary Report on July 16. Approximately two thousand hackers met for a conference in New York City. With the spirit of "information access is a basic human right," these hackers announced "information guerrilla warfare" against more than 20 web-censored countries, especially China and the Middle East. They will allow web users to freely download software that will enable them to go online without revealing their names or identities. This software was developed especially for democracy seekers, so that they can avoid the firewall established by their government and log onto news websites that their government has barred.

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

Northeastern Practitioners' Fa-Rectification Journey, Part II: Facing the test of life and death three times. A practitioner has been on hunger strike many times inside the labor camp. She has been shocked with three electric batons simultaneously, each of which carried 18 thousands volts. She has been locked in a small cell for over three months and was tied to a chair for more than one month. She was handcuffed with both hands in the back for more than 28 days and then tortured by having her hands and feet cuffed together for more than 20 days. She suffered severe injuries but finally walked out of the labor camp in an open and dignified manner.

Several Examples of How a Falun Dafa Practitioner Respects and Cares for His Elderly--A Letter to the Party Secretary. I became even better in respecting and taking care of my elders after cultivating Falun Dafa. Because I refused to give up my belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," I was fined, had my home searched and was detained several times. I have been forced to abandon my home and go from place to place because of the persecution. Although I still respect and would like to take care of my elders, how could I provide a stable life for them under these current circumstances? All of this is the result of Jiang and his regime's evil persecution!

News From China

I was hit by a taxicab. After I regained consciousness I took the opportunity to spread the Fa to the driver and the bystanders. I also looked inside myself. I thought, "This must not be Master's arrangement. The old force is persecuting me, using my omissions and forcing me to endure passively." I eliminated the evil's arrangements with righteous thoughts. Miraculously, I was then able to sit in the lotus position with both legs folded for half an hour. I felt Master's infinite benevolence during meditation, and I could not hold back my tears.

Open Forum

An old overseas Chinese gentleman: The photo exhibition I saw at the Chinese Consulate applied tactics that the Party used outside of China during the "Cultural Revolution." I am a 72-year-old man and have been away from China for many years. Now when I see photos that defame Falun Gong and Mr. Li Hongzhi, I feel the same anguish that I felt during the "Cultural Revolution." These political hooligans have been using all kinds of schemes and tactics to deceive and poison the innocent people just for their own interests.

Reference: Would a strong gust of "Korean wind" wake the Chinese nation? Although in the final half of the World Cup soccer match Korea lost 1:0 to Germany, the public's feelings all over Korea were still aroused and there was no troublemaking or maliciousness. When millions of people left the soccer stadium, they didn't leave behind their wastepaper or trash. This highly upgraded spirit of self-control and self-improvement is really rarely seen. I deeply felt that the reason why the Chinese team trailed far behind others is not only an issue of their immature playing skills, their lack of perseverance or will to try harder, but also an issue of the nation's culture--namely, there is a problem in the holistic spiritual level of the Chinese people.

From Apple Daily: There is no terrorism to fight against in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has passed the "Union Nation (Law of Antiterrorism) Draft." In Hong Kong, aside from the left wing disturbance of the social order in 1967, terrorist activity similar to that has never taken place. If this is targeting Falun Gong, it then becomes even more ridiculous. Falun Gong practitioners can be found worldwide. The United States and European countries consider Falun Gong to be completely legal. It is very irrational to label Falun Gong practitioners as terrorists and persecute them just based on Tung Chee-hwa's one word. Since there is no terrorism to start with, what is the use of the law?
