(Clearwisdom.net) Around 7: 40 this morning (October 25), Jiang left the Intercontinental Hotel in rainy weather and flew toward Waco, Texas. Yesterday, it rained continuously and over 100 Falun Gong practitioners from all over the U.S. sat outside the hotel throughout the night to send forth righteous thoughts in order to use righteous thoughts to cleanse the poison Jiang has brought to the U.S.
Around 8:30 a.m., around 200 practitioners did the exercises at the TSTC airport in Waco. Jiang's "welcoming group" was nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Zhang, a practitioner who came from Boston to join the peaceful protest in Waco, said the weather today was cold, and the temperature felt like it was in the 40s.
At 8: 40 a.m., Jiang's plane arrived at TSTC airport, and ten large "welcoming group" buses appeared as well. Falun Gong practitioners were situated further away.
At 9:00 a.m., Minghui news reporter said the "welcoming group" did not see Jiang's motorcade. Falun Gong practitioners quickly moved to side roads outside the airport and unfurled banners that read, "Falun Dafa is good." The "welcoming group" buses drove through two lines of practitioners and their banners. Some bus drivers honked to greet the practitioners and some Chinese students waved U.S. flags toward the practitioners.
Yesterday afternoon, wearing yellow and blue raincoats, many practitioners stood outside the hotel to send forth righteous thoughts. Below their feet were mud and rapid streams of water. Around 6:00 p.m., the sun came out and two clear rainbows appeared in the northeastern sky above the hotel.
According to practitioner(s), when Jiang returned to the hotel from Texas A&M University yesterday, it began to rain in the hotel area. When Jiang arrived at the hotel at 4: 30 p.m., a great wave of rain fell. Jiang's motorcade, consisting of a black luxury limousine, buses and ambulance, slowly drove down the road and entered the hotel. A female practitioner said there were only Falun Gong practitioners' with their banners on the sides of the street. When the motorcade passed slowly by the practitioners, many people in the cars looked at all kinds of banners that were spread out over more than 200 meters along the street. The banners read, "Falun Dafa is good," "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong," "Heaven Forbids Persecution Against Falun Gong," and there were also pictures of practitioners who were tortured to death.
On October 18, 2002, the Iconoclast, a prominent English newspaper in Texas, with a 135 year history, introduced the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in China and Falun Gong's extraordinary health promoting effects with a two page article.
The report reprinted an article by Houston resident Dianna Roberts entitled, "Texas Falun Gong Practitioners: Look Who's Coming to Town." Regarding this visitor from China, Dr. Roberts asked a series of questions, "What do we know about our guest-to-be? What kind of man is he? How did he get to where he is?"
