Tricks Used in the Brainwashing Centers

by Falun Dafa practitioner in China

After getting out of a brainwashing center, I would like to share the
following points to expose the tricks that the Jiang regime uses.

1. Agents of the Jiang regime said openly in the class that, “The principles
   of “Truth-Compassion-Forbearance do not exist in Chinese history. The
   Chinese are not a peaceful race and five thousand years of Chinese history
   is evidence of a violent past. To become a better citizen means that
   you should not try to distinguish what is right and wrong. In China,
   you need to obey the Party and the regime’s order to do things.”
   Does this mean that the purpose of the Party and its regime is to not
   let their people become good? In the entire world, in which country
   is becoming a better person a crime?

2. The brainwashing class personnel said that qigong is a by-product
   of the modern scientific society and it belongs to category of magic.
   They disregarded the profound history of qigong culture and labeled
   qigong as a false science and magic. This is obviously a political tactic
   and it is irresponsible and an insult to Chinese civilization.

3. Adapting and publicly implementing centrally controlled statewide
   terrorism: In the so-called “philosophy” class held there, the lawless
   people claimed that only by obeying the leadership from the Party and
   its government, and following the trend of the society, can one have
   a right to exist and have a chance to develop one’s career. What
   kind of totalitarian logic is this! The Chinese constitution has guaranteed
   that people have freedom of belief. How can a totalitarian power replace
   the truth?

4. After Falun Dafa practitioners are released from labor camps or brainwashing
   classes, they are forbidden to practice Falun Dafa or any other type
   of qigong. The Chinese Constitution stipulates that people have basic
   human rights, such as the rights of free speech, writing, assembly,
   belief … etc. Under the rule of Jiang’s regime, however, the
   constitution is just a piece of paper.

5. The slander campaign said that Falun Gong seeks support from western
   anti-China forces, and colludes with groups promoting the independence
   of Taiwan and Tibet, Xinjiang democratic separation, and domestic democratic
   activities. Falun Gong has spread to more than sixty countries or regions.
   Does this mean those countries or regions are all anti-China forces?
   If that is the case, then Jiang’s regime is isolated by the entire
   world. In another respect, the Chinese government has official diplomatic,
   political and economic relationships with these sixty western countries
   that support Falun Gong. If they are all anti-China, why does China
   still have diplomatic relationships with them?

6. Jiang’s regime persecuted Falun Gong practitioners to death while
   claiming that they all committed suicide. Meanwhile, they framed Falun
   Gong for murders committed by people with mental problems, saying that
   they killed others because they practiced Falun Gong. In the brainwashing
   class, they put up a photo exhibit and claimed that Falun Gong teaches
   people to commit suicide or kill others in order to reach consummation.
   In Falun Gong’s book, Zhuan Falun, it clearly states that suicide
   is a very serious sin. Why can’t they let people verify the truth
   from the book?

7. The Jiang regime said that “Falun Gong has done a great deal of damage
   to China and it hurt a lot of families.” This is a typical lie and slander
   campaign by the Jiang regime. Before the persecution started, hundreds
   of millions of people who practiced Falun Gong enjoyed harmonious and
   happy family lives, they worked very diligently in their work units
   and were very good citizens. Just within a short period of time, tens
   of millions of practitioners had their illnesses cured after practicing
   Falun Gong. According to the conclusion of the official government survey,
   the health benefits alone have saved nearly 10 billion Yuan for the
   country. In order to persecute Falun Gong, Jiang’s regime spent
   more than five billion Yuan of people’s money to build labor camps,
   and brainwashing centers. They arrested tens of millions of practitioners,
   put them in jail, brainwashing centers, labor camps, and psychiatric
   hospitals, and forced a lot of people to become homeless and separated
   from family members.

8. The practitioners who are released from brainwashing classes and labor
   camps have to report their thoughts every week to the local judiciary
   department for the first three-months. After that they have to report
   every half-month and this will continue for at least one year. They
   are also not allowed to have any contact with practitioners; otherwise
   they will be arrested again and suffer even more severe torture. Isn’t
   this kind of behavior “mind control? ” Also these kinds of acts are
   against freedom of belief and against the Chinese Constitution.

Falun Gong practitioners have undergone more than three years of brutal
persecution and have become more mature with each passing day. The ridiculous
lies and propaganda campaign emanating from the brainwashing classes are
no longer able to deceive practitioners. The brainwashing classes will
be eliminated and those people who participated in the persecution of
practitioners will be punished by both heavenly and manmade laws and receive
their karmic retribution .
