(Clearwisdom.net) In today's world, with things such as TV and newspapers, it is not difficult to cook up a story about a country or even the entire world, not to mention a story about just one individual. Let's take a look at what happened during the Great Cultural Revolution. Liu Shaoqi, Chairman of the country at the time, was labeled a traitor, a thief and a rebel. All the newspapers across the country then reported the same lies, stirring up emotions and leading to the heartfelt hatred of Liu Shaoqi by some eight hundred million Chinese people. "The Great Cultural Revolution" itself was also a big lie which sank the entire nation into an abyss of misery for ten years.
On the second day after the world was shocked by the bloody massacre on Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, CCTV lied to the whole world. They claimed that no one was killed during the "cleanup" on Tiananmen Square. When the Western media later exposed the lies, CCTV claimed that those who died were "counter-revolutionaries," and the soldiers who did the killing "solemnly" became "heroes of the country." The relatives of the students who were murdered, deprived of their freedom of speech, could only grieve and helplessly watch the memories of their murdered loved ones being smeared by the totalitarian government. The Americans, keeping a close watch on the human rights situation in China, were labeled "American Imperialists." Chinese government propaganda led one to wonder if it had been American soldiers, not the Chinese, who had opened fire on the Chinese people and crushed them under their tanks. In fact, shouldn't we have called it "Chinese Imperialism?"
Ten years later, unfortunately, a similar national tragedy has recurred. Jiang's regime created a "magic weapon" by twisting public opinion, using the resultant clamor and outrage to confuse right and wrong and to thereby implicate Falun Gong. They then concocted the story of Falun Gong "besieging" Zhongnanhai as justification for the beginning of a large-scale persecution. Seeing that they couldn't suppress Falun Gong, they later staged the self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square. Inexplicably, the actor they hired could even sing songs on TV immediately following a "tracheotomy." Still not being enough, they then found Fu Yibin, a mental patient who had brutally murdered his mother and his wife, and then publicly claimed that he was a crazed Falun Gong practitioner. To add even more deception, they found Ms. Guan, who killed her own daughter on Mother's Day and they again placed the blame on Falun Gong. They have used all sorts of tricks in order to deceive the public. The government has guns, prisons, radios and TV stations, newspapers, and courts. What can you do even if you have been deceived? You might then be killed and then accused on TV as being "anti-government."
Who knows how many lies the Chinese Ruling Party has told during each of its political movements? To date, the government has never apologized for any of the lies it told to the Chinese people. People living today should firmly remember the crimes this autocratic government committed against the Chinese people throughout history, and not be confused by the lies being told today.
