一、法轮功的起始
李洪志90年代初开始,打着气功旗号治病骗钱。1991年5~9月去泰国探望妹妹李平(其妹夫为泰籍台湾人),回来后声称得到佛法,于1993年4月出版《中国法轮功》,开始到各地讲法,并于1993年8月在中国气功科学研究会登记。1994年8月去美国一次,后又于1994年9月去法国3个月,这几次出国,每出一次李洪志本人就提高一个“层次”。回国后大肆宣扬“法轮大法”,到处作报告,并于1994年12月出版了《转法轮》(这就是李要他的信众们从头读到尾的“经书”)。
但与此同时,1994年12月12日,李洪志的老家长春就有100多人联名给中央有关部门揭露了李洪志是一个江湖骗子。这时,他慌了神,在1995年1月2日就在北京法轮大法辅导员会议上明确地说:“大过年的还把大家召集来开个会,这个会不开还不行,因为我们好多学员都知道我马上要去国外传功。”这里想引用李洪志的主要亲信和骨干叶浩发表的材料:“在一九九二年至一九九四年期间,国内将近有两万人参加了李洪志老师亲自传授的学习班。”此后,李于1995年5月31日到美国休斯敦市访问、演讲,并骗取了休斯顿市荣誉市民和亲善大使的称号,随即又于1995年8月到马来西亚科隆坡进行1个月的访问,演讲。
国家新闻出版署根据群众揭发并经过认真审读,于1996年7月24日发出“关于立即收缴封存《中国法轮功》等五种书的通知”。中国气功科学研究会也因李洪志利用传功,宣传封建迷信,神化个人,制造政治谣言,将神学伪装科学,于1996年12月9日注销了“法轮功”的登记,至此,“法轮功”不论是组织上还是宣传品都是非法的。
但是,李洪志却以听过他讲歪理邪说的信众为骨干力量,成立了“法轮大法研究会”和各地区的辅导总站,辅导站,并任命了若干辅导员,在全国各地非法发展组织。除了文化层次较低的一般民众外,目标主要是是革命老干部,国家机要部门干部以及中青年知识分子。以便寻得庇护支持、盗窃国家机密并利用中青年知识分子作为法轮功的第二梯队和第三梯队。
这一点李洪志自己明确指出:“我不在的情况下,研究会作出的决定,我们全国各地辅导站都要听从、执行。作为一个辅导员那就更责无旁贷了。”同时,李洪志还明确说:“研究会作出的一切决定都是经过我同意的,我就是在任何地方,他们作出什么决定也是通过电话、传真和我取得联系之后他们才作出的。”这就是李洪志控制下的“法轮功”秘密组织系统!
二、法轮功的疯狂与败露
李洪志逃往境外后就在世界各地“讲法”发展“法轮功”邪教组织,同时不断向国内发出“经文”组织进行各种反社会,反人民的活动。
1997年,“法轮功”在国内的活动和危害日益暴露,首先是中国佛教协会于1997年2月组织发表了揭露“法轮功”的文章,明确指出“法轮功”是“附佛外道”(即打着佛教旗号的邪魔外道)。随后,在浙江坚决打击了“法轮功”非法发展组织的同时,《钱塘周末》于1997年12月12日发表了“一个年轻知识分子缘何猝死”的揭露“法轮功”害人的真相。接着1998年4月1日《齐鲁晚报》刊登了“法轮功是咋回事”揭露了练功不吃药,延误治疗甚治导致病人死亡的案例。与此同时,各新闻媒体纷纷揭露“法轮功”是害人功。这时候“法轮功”立即组织信众,无视法律,于1998年6月1日~3日组织千余人围攻《齐鲁晚报》,同时也围攻其它新闻媒体。与此同时在李洪志亲自指挥下于1998年6月1日起围攻北京电视台,按李洪志的设计准备组织上万人围攻,结果只来了千余人,李为此大为恼火,撤换了北京站的站站长,换上了积极指挥围攻北京电视台的姚洁。为此,李洪志大失所望。接着李洪志1998年7月6日就写了篇《挖根》说:“我早就看到有个别人,心不是为了维护大法,而是为了维护人类社会的什么。你如果作为一个常人我不反对,做一个维护人类社会的好人当然是件好事。可是你现在是个修炼的人,站在什么基点上看待大法,这是根子上的问题,也正是我要给你指出的。在你们的修炼中,我会用一切办法暴露出你们所有的心,从根子上挖掉它。
你们不能总是让我带着往上走,而你们自己不走,法讲明了你们才动,没有讲明你们就不动或反向动,我不能承认这种行为是修炼。关键时我要叫你们决裂人时,你们却不跟我走,每一次机会都不会再有。修炼是严肃的,差距拉开得越来越大了,修炼中加上任何人的东西都是极其危险的。其实能做一个好人也可以,只是你们要清楚,路是你们自己选择的。”
这意思就是让信众们不要去维护人类社会,而是要与人决裂?换一句话说,就是要信众们去破坏人类社会!
接着,李洪志1998年7月26日在长春又紧急召开了辅导员会。会上有人问:在北京类似事件中,坚定实修者怎样?李洪志的回答是:“坚定实修者怎样,你这话什么意思?好像大家都没有听明白吧?就是说你没有参与,你自己“坚定实修”了,是不是这个意思?话中有为自己失去圆满机会而找理由根据,心都用到我这来了。道理我已经讲得再清楚不过了。每一次事情,出现这个大的事情的时候,都是一个最好的考验学员走出那圆满的那最好的一步,最好的时机。我们有的人就能走出来,有的人他还觉得自己为了实修不动呢。圆满了你都不动,我看你怎么办,你也不想圆满。光是修,修为了什么?不是圆满吗?实际上是为你自己找借口,为你另外一颗心找借口。不是实修不动,你平时表现得真的那么实修,那么不动吗?”
这时候,李洪志反社会,反人类的嘴脸已经彻底暴露无遗了。开始时李洪志是要信众们读他的《转法轮》,一遍一遍的读就可以提高层次,最后达到“圆满”,这就是“坚定实修”。但是到了1998年变了,搞反政府,反社会的行动才能提高“层次”,才能达到“园满”。
由于《法轮大法》的种种非法活动,新闻出版署于1998年6月16日编写了《新闻出版要情》向中央报告了“法轮功”围攻新闻单位的情况,公安部于1998年7月21日发出对《法轮功》进行调查的通知,这时他们利用向党政机关的非法渗透,盗窃文档资料,及时发出了两则《简讯》号召信徒们抵制,并且组织一批老红军,老革命,老科学家们联名(这其中就包括“法轮功”的核心骨干叶浩)写信给中央,吹捧《法轮大法》,妄图蒙蔽中央,使中央投鼠忌器以达到保护他们继续进行非法活动的目的。
与此同时,由于“宗教文化出版社”于1998年6月出版了《佛教“气功”与法轮功》,揭露了“法轮功”的邪教真相。于是他们又向中央告恶状,署名的正好是“法轮大法研究会”的核心骨干,即李昌、于长新、王治文、叶浩、纪烈武等人,从而暴露了马脚。
鉴于围攻北京电视台未达到预期的声势,李洪志在1998年在国外“讲法”时就一再造谣说大陆上有一亿人练“法轮功”,自壮声势,并为他的信众鼓气。这完全是谎言,重复一千遍也没有用。我们可以不考虑政府察明的准确数字,但是我们清楚,“法轮功”渗透的省市有二十左右,即占全国的2/3,其总人口约8~9亿,如果真有1亿人练“法轮功”,那我们身边每8~9个人中就应该有一个练“法轮功”的人,然而事实上各单位“法轮功”练习者不过是千分之1~3,再除掉婴幼儿,统计下来,确实是200万左右。
在李洪志的谣言蛊惑下,不少修练者就以为真的有一亿人撑腰,加之又有李洪志的化身护体,还有那个“人不炼法法炼人”的法轮在身上转,于是就丧失理智让干什么违法的事就去干。在1999年4月18日围攻天津教育学院时就气势汹汹地宣称:在天津我们有20万弟子,在北京有100万信徒……,似乎是人多就能吓倒人。然而这都是肥皂泡一样的自欺欺人的谎言。
用李洪志挂在嘴边常说的话:我们没有组织,没有名单。既然如此,李洪志又怎么能算出大法弟子有1亿人?
然而就是在李洪志的谎言鼓动和他潜回北京亲自指挥下,终于组织了“法轮功”练习者包围天津又转到北京上万人围困中南海的1999年的4·25事件。至此,李洪志及其邪教“法轮功”反社会、反人民、反政府的本质暴露无遗。
三、境外造势指挥,境内猖狂
“法轮功”练习者是如何组织和指挥的?是用了Internet互联网。
1999年5月2日李洪志在悉尼接见新闻媒体时,记者问:李先生我想问一下儿,全世界有那么多的学员,有一亿多人。你跟他们沟通的途径,大概有哪几种?回答是:没有什么沟通途径,没有直接的沟通途径。你们知道,因为你们都知道这里开会了,我也就知道了,他们互相之间,为什么说哪个地方有什么事情都知道呢?大家知道Internet互联网,这个东西在全世界是非常方便的,说哪里要开会的时候,就在网上打出来,全世界很多地区的人也就知道了,我也就能知道,其实我和他们平时没有任何往来,连电话都没有。(这就又让我们想起了1995年1月李洪志曾说过的:“研究会作出的一切决定都是经过我同意的,我就是在任何地方,他们作出什么决定也是通过电话、传真和我取得联系之后他们才作出的。”那时候李洪志还只知道通过电话、传真来控制大法组织,如今跑到国外后,得到“洋主子”支持,用了Internet互联网,果真是提高“层次”了!)
4·25以后,李洪志的“公告栏”在6月2日宣布:“不论环境如何艰难,我们给他们正确认识法轮大法真实情况的机会。在Internet网络上读者可以看到各种有关消息。”也就是说所有“法轮功”修练者已经完全被Internet网络所控制了。
在这里想公布一个数字,在1999年4·25前后,“法轮功”的Internet互联网站,在美国是39个,在其他国家是20几个,在大陆是20个,另加香港、台湾各一个。这百十多个网站都是非商业性的,免费提供各种材料,其经费来源不言自明。
当时,国内的网站站长是李昌,而叶浩在4·25前逃往加拿大,4·25后叶浩立即在那里又建立了“明慧网”,共有6个镜象站点(随后又设立了新生、见证、科学等网站)。而国内也增设了4个不被注意的小站点。他们利用网站和信箱,传递消息,攻击政府,鼓动信众,制造动乱。例如:在6月4日清晨,北京的练功点上都普遍传阅或宣读一份李洪志于1999年6月2日写的“我的一点感想”,经我们查找李洪志于1999年6月2日写的“我的一点感想”,竟然是在台湾的法轮功网上发出的,而且是简体中文的!只是在6月4日以后,大陆的网点才纷纷转贴出李洪志的“我的一点感想”。
1999年7月22日我国公开取缔“法轮功”和“法轮大法研究会”,7月31日发出对邪教头子李洪志的通辑令。国内的非法网站全部查封。
郭正谊,中国最早觉察并揭露“法轮功”罪行的科技界人士之一。1999年4月,他与任继愈、何祚庥、杜继文、李申、段启明等五位知名学者共同起草了关于“法轮功”邪教本质的揭发材料,并及时呈送中央。随后,郭正谊和其它六位专家组成“法轮功”类图书审读小组,全面系统地对李洪志的书籍和有关“法轮功”资料进行审读,并作出深入的分析和批判。后在此基础上编写了《现代谎言——李洪志歪理邪说评析》。
英文:How do Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong organize practitioners against society, people and government?
I. Origin of Falun Gong
Since 1990s, Li Hongzhi has cured people and cheated them for their money under the name of Qigong. After he visited his younger sister Li Ping in Thailand whose husband is Taiwanese during May to September of 1991, he claimed that he learned from Buddhism. He published Falun Gong of China in April, 1993 and then lectured across the country. He was registered from China's Qigong Scientific Association in August of 1993. He went to U.S. in August 1994, and then he went to France for 3 months. When he came back, he propagandized Falun Dafa badly and made lectures everywhere. He published Zhuan Falun in December 1994 (Which was the entire lection for his practitioners).
At the same time, however, more than 100 people in his homeland Changchun disclosed him as a deceiver to the central government in December 12, 1994. Then he was scared. Then he said clearly in the meeting of Falun Dafa members of Beijing, "Although it's a new year, I have to get together. We must hold this meeting, for lots of practitioners have known that I'm going abroad to propagandize Falun Gong." I want to cite what Ye Hao who is the main favorite and backbone of Li Hongzhi wrote in his published materials, i.e. "From 1992 to 1994, there were about 20,000 people who participated in Li Hongzhi's Falun Gong classes." Then, on May 31, 1995, Li visited Houston, U.S. and made lectures. He deceived them for the name called Honorable Citizen of Houston and Friendly Ambassador. After that, he visited Kuala Lumpur and made lectures for a month.
According to disclosure of the mass and after investigating, National News Publication Bureau order on July 24, 1996 that Notice to Immediately Confiscate and Close Down Five Kinds of Booking Including Falun Gong of China. China Qigong Scientific Research Association also logout Falun Gong on December 9, 1996 according the facts that Li Hongzhi made him God, made up political rumors and deceived God as science by propagandizing Falun Gong and superstition. Therefore, either Falun Gong Organization or its publicity is illegal.
However, Li Hongzhi considered the practitioners who believed in him as backbone. They illegally established Seminar of Falun Dafa and general stations and instruction centers throughout the country. They also appointed several instructors. Besides common persons with lower educational background, they mainly aimed at old cadres who participated in revolutionary movement, cadres who were in main department of the government and youth adult intelligentsia so as to not only get support and asylum, but also steal the national secrets and use the youth adult intelligentsia as the secondary and third echelon.
In this regard, Li Hongzhi pointed out that "when I was not here, the decision made by the seminar should be followed by instruction centers all over the country, especially the instructors." At the same time, Li Hongzhi also said that "All the decisions made by the seminar were approved by me. No matter where I was, they connected with me though phones and faxed and then they made the decision." Such was the secret Falun Gong system under Li Hongzhi's control.
II. The madness and disclosure of Falun Gong
After Li Hongzhi's escaping abroad, he propagandized Falun Gong and established Falun Gong cult's organization. At the same time, he also sent continuous lection to organize the practitioners to behave anti-society and anti-human's activities.
In 1997, the activities and harm was disclosed gradually all over the country. Firstly, The Buddhist Association of China published several articles to criticize Falun Gong in February 1997, identifying that Falun Gong was a cult in the Buddhist's name. (i.e. evil under Buddhist's coverage.) Then, while it firmly struck the illegal Falun Gong organization in Zhejiang Province of China, Qian Tang Weekend published an article named "How Dose A Young Intelligentsia Suddenly Die?" to disclose the truth that Falun Gong was killing people. After that, Qilu Evening Newspaper published an article named "What is Falun Gong?" to show some cases in which some people died when they were ill but not to take medicines so that they missed the best time to be cured. At the same time, the media disclosed that Falun Gong was killing people one after another. At the time, ignoring laws and regulations, Falun Gong organized thousands of practitioners to attack headquarters of Qilu Evening Newspaper on 1st to 3rd June 1998. At the time, they attacked other media's offices. Then Li Hongzhi directed his practitioners to attack Beijing TV in person on 1st June 1998. He planned to organize hundreds of thousands practitioners to attack. However, only thousands of them came so that Li Hongzhi was every angry. He dismissed the chief instructor of Beijing, and appointed Yao Jie who commanded practitioners to strike Beijing TV actively. For this, Li Hongzhi as very disappointed. So he wrote an article named Removing the Cause on July 6, 1998, in which he said "I have found out some people who aim at protecting something in human society rather that protecting Dafa in an early time. It's good if you want to be a common person to protect society and I will not deny you. However, you are practitioners. How you deal with Dafa is the problem of cause that is also the problem I want to point out. During you practicing Falun Gong, I would disclose all your minds by using every method so as to remove them. You cannot always ask me to lead you up while you don't follow. After you understand the Fa, you behave. But if you don't understand, you won't behave or go the other way. I cannot consider it as a practicing activity. The moment I called you to break up with human beings, you didn't follow me. Every chance cannot show up twice. It's serious to practice and the gap was wider. It's dangerous to add any human things when practicing Falun Gong. As a matter of fact, it's good to be a nice guy. However, you should make clear that you choose your way."
Such means that he asked his practitioners not to protect society, but to break up with human beings. In other words, he asked his practitioners to destroy the society.
After that, Li Hongzhi held an emergency meeting for instructors in Chang Chun on 26th July 1998. Some asked him on the meeting that how should a firm practitioner be in the cases familiar with Beijing case. Li Hongzhi answered that "How should a firm practitioner be? What's meaning of this? It seems that no one knows what you've asked. You mean that you didn't participate and that you were firm and practiced Falun Gong. Isn't it? You mean to find out the base when you lose the chance to fulfill consummation. You have pointed to me. I have said very clearly. Every case, especially the big case is best chance to test the best practitioner to fulfill consummation. Some could walk out. Others couldn't when they believed they were practicing Falun Gong. Facing the consummation, you wouldn't act. How would you do? Don't you want to fulfill consummation? You said to practice Falun Gong. However, why to practice? Isn't it to fulfill consummation? You are looking for excuses for you and your other heart at all. You wouldn't act unless the real practicing activities come. Do you behave so real to practice Falun Gong and to do nothing?"
At that time, Li Hongzhi exposed his features of anti-society and anti-humanity completely. At the beginning, he asked his practitioners to believe his Zhuan Falun. After reading the book time and time again, they could go to a higher level and fulfill consummation in the end. Such is a firm practitioner. However, he changed in 1998. He told them that doing things that were anti-government and anti-society could go to a higher level and fulfill consummation.
As to the illegal activities of Falun Dafa, National News Publication Bureaus published Notice of Press and Publication on June 16, 1998 to report the cases that Falun Gong attacked various newspaper units. And Ministry of Public Security sent out the Notice to investigate Falun Gong on July 21, 1998. Then, they used the illegal infiltration into governmental offices so that they published two Short Reports in order to call in practitioners to resist. They also organized a group of older Red Army soldiers and revolutionaries (including the backbone named Ye Hao) to write to the Central Committee. They boosted Falun Dafa to deceive Central Committee. They thought that the higher officers would be afraid to stop them do illegal activities.
At the same time, Religion and Culture Press published a book named Qigong of Buddhism and Falun Gong in June 1998 to disclose Falun Gong's evil. Then they reported this to Central Committee by condemning the book. The lettered was signed by backbones of Falun Dafa Seminar, such as Li Chang, Yu Changxin, Wang Zhiwen, Ye Hao and Ji Liewu. However, they disclosed themselves.
As they didn't meet the anticipated needs of attacking Beijing TV, Li Hongzhi made rumors that there were 100 million practitioners in mainland when he made lectures abroad. He wanted to boost and encourage his practitioners. Such was a total lie which can be useless now matter how many times they said. Regardless of the correct number made by the government, we could conclude that there was one practitioner among 8-9 people if there were really 100 million practitioners. However, there was actually less than 0.1-0.3%. Apart from babies, there were about 2 million or so according to statistics.
Deluding by Li Hongzhi's rumor, several practitioners thought there were really 100 million behind them. They also had the Master's protection and the Falun (people practice Falun Gong and it practices people) running around them. So they lost their minds to do whatever illegal activities being told do. On 18th April, 1999, when they attacked Journal of Tianjin Institute of Physical Education, some claimed badly that they had 0.2 million practitioners in Tianjin and 1 million in Beijing. It seemed that the more they said, the more afraid others were. However, all was a lie that could not cheat themselves like bubbles.
Just as what Li Hongzhi always said, we didn't have organization and list. In this regard, how could he calculate that there were 100 million practitioners?
However, under encouragement by Li Hongzhi's rumors and that he was commanding the activities in person in Beijing, they made the 4·25 Event that thousands of hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners besieged Tianjin and then Zhongnanhai in Beijing. Until then, Li Hongzhi and his Falun Gong disclosed the nature of anti-society, anti-people and anti-government.
III. Making Influence Abroad and Savaging Inboard
How were the Falun Gong practitioners organized and commanded? They used Internet.
When Li Hongzhi met media in Sydney on May 2, 1999, he was asked," Mr. Li, I want to ask. There are more than 100 million practitioners all over the world. How many ways for you to connect with them? What are they?" His answered "There are no communicating ways and indirect ways. As you know, because you all know that the meeting is held here. So do I. Why do they all know what happened somewhere? We all know Internet that is convenient all over the world. When we want to inform them where to hold a meeting, we would log on net so that lots of them know. So do I. As a matter of fact, I have no touch with them at times, even the telephone." (It reminds us what Li Hongzhi said in January 1995 "All the decisions made by the seminar were approved by me. No matter where I was, they connected with me though phones and faxed and then they made the decision." Then Li only knew to use telephone and faxes to control his organization. Well, when he escaped abroad, he got foreigners' supports so that he began to use Internet. It's real for him to go to a "higher level".)
After April 25, Li Hongzhi claimed in his affiche on June 2, "No matter how difficult it would be, we give chances for them to know what on earth Falun Dafa is. The readers could get whatever they want on Internet." In another word, Internet controlled all Falun Gong practitioners.
I want to announce a number. Before and after April 25, 1999, there were 39 Falun Gong websites in U.S., 20 or so in other countries, 20 in Mainland China, 1 in Hong Kong and 1 in Taiwan respectively. All these weren't commercial. They provided materials for free. So we all know the funding sources without telling them out.
Then the chief of inboard net is Li Chang. Ye Hao escaped for Canada before 25th April. After 25th April, he established Minghui Net there. There were totally 6 mirror image stations (Then they established Xin Sheng, Jian Zheng and Science stations.) They also established 4 small stations that couldn't easily be noticed. They used net and emails to send messages that condemned government, instigated the mass and made convulsion. For example, in the morning of 4th June, the practitioners from Beijing Falun Gong Station passed round for perusal and read an article written by Li Hongzhi on 2nd June, 1999 named A Few of My Feelings. After investigation, the article was published in the Falun Gong net in Taiwan. And the words were simple-Chinese! Then after 4th June, the stations in mainland posted the article named A Few of My feelings.
On July 22, 1999, China clamped down Falun Gong and Falun Dafa Seminar in public and sent out Wanted Order for Li Hongzhi. The illegal websites inboard was clamped down completely.
