I KNEW that a story about Falun Gong would be posted, due to their totally inappropriate actions regarding China and the U.S.

This is a CULT, and I see their practitioners on the streets of NYC every day - they stand out on the streets wearing "blood", and posing in cages, while giving out literature - most of it against the Chinese government. They are crazy, and their leader is either a shrewd manipulator, or insane. Here's a little about it. You can click on the link below for the rest of the article. They believe that we are controlled by, get this, "aliens" through our computers. They are against medicine, and are also against employment. They believe in "superhuman powers", and levitation, as well. They've been know to have women and children commit suicide as acts of martyrdom.

Interview with Li Hongzhi
Time Asia/May 10, 1999 (Excerpt)

On April 26, Erping Zhang, a close associate of Li Hongzhi, the mysterious leader of the Falun Gong religious movement, called TIME in New York to say that major events were transpiring in Beijing. "It looks as though quite a few people have shown up," he said. When we asked how many, he guessed that it might be 10,000. "But this is getting bigger," he said. "They are planning to go to the government offices." As it turned out, Zhang was correct. At least 10,000 Falun Gong members gathered in front of Zhongnanhai, the seat of China's government, to demand recognition from authorities and freedom to practice their beliefs. The demonstration appeared to indicate that Falun Gong--which may have as many as 100 million adherents worldwide, mainly in China--is tightly organized. But Zhang insists that the protest was "spontaneous."

A few weeks before the demonstration, TIME interviewed Li Hongzhi, the soft-spoken 47-year-old creator of Falun Gong, in Manhattan where he settled after leaving China a year ago. Li believes the ancient Chinese art of qigong (Falun Gong is one variation) can endow practitioners with superhuman powers. He also says the world is in chaos today because the human race has been invaded by aliens from other planets who hope to challenge mankind through scientific means, especially through human cloning. If Li's ideas seem far fetched, it is worth noting that he has fans and followers worldwide. On Oct. 11, 1996, Houston mayor Robert C. Lanier proclaimed the date to be Li Hongzhi Day. Li was interviewed in New York by TIME correspondent William Dowell. He spoke in Chinese and Zhang acted as interpreter.
