The Falun Gong (FG) Nonsense Continues

A few days ago, the Straits Times reported that two FG members were found guilty of illegal activites by the Singapore courts - they were distributing some illegal VCDs of their FG movement (seems more like a sect?). They had it coming and I think they rightly deserve the guilty verdict for being such a nuisance.

They had a choice of simply paying a fine or being jailed in lieu - any smart person, with brains in situ, will simply pay up and get on with his life. But the two ladies, obviously being brain-deficient and also very obviously being manipulated by some higher FG being, chose to go to jail. A clever move on the part of the higher FG being - they wanted media attention with the jailing and, of course, attention to their cause (whatever that is). And then to attract even greater media attention, the two of them in jail, decided to go on a fast. How stupid can some people be, to allow themselves to be manipulated like puppets on a string? Do they really think that China will rush in begging them to stop their fast? As I said in an earlier post, they are simply conducting their protests in the wrong place. If they have grievances against the China authorities and if they realy were sincerely concerned about their fellow FG arrested members in China and if they really had some guts, they would hasten to China immediately and conduct their protests there.

Alas, that is unlikely to happen. The stupid foot-soldiers at the front-line, will continue taking foolish risks at the behest of their supreme head, who pulls the strings from some convenient, plush, comfortable and remote location. While the two ladies fast, their puppet master will be busy eating caviar and sipping wine.
