A viewing of the film “State Organs” was held at the Hockessin Public Library in Delaware on Oct. 21, 2024. After that, a wonderful panel discussion was held, moderated by award-winning talk show host Rick Jensen.
The 76-minute documentary details the Chinese regime’s transplant industry fueled by forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience. It tells the harrowing tale of two families who embark on a perilous journey in search of their loved ones who mysteriously go missing in China. Over their 20-year-long journey, they uncover a shocking state-sanctioned crime in China.

We're very fortunate to have Mr. Rick Jensen
to host today's panel discussion.
Rick is Delaware's award-winning talk show host
from WDL Radio, 101.7 FM at 1150 AM,
Delaware's number one news and talk radio station.
Rick is ranked as one of the hundred
most influential talk show hosts in America.
He is the winner of many journalist awards
and has been a great supporter
to combat the workforce woman harvesting crime in China.
Welcome, Rick.
Yeah, people told me I don't need no translator here,
so I don't need a microphone here.
Few years ago, a coworker asked,
why do you care about this?
Said, you got any relations in China?
I said, yeah, I do.
So do you.
It matters.
Our panel, please, let's see,
Dr. Lee, could that make it, is that correct?
Can I talk to Lee?
Okay, fine.
I'll just, of course, raise your hand
and people will know William Hwang.
Thank you for being here.
It's good to see you again, my friend.
William is a Falun Gong practitioner
and was a PhD candidate at China's prestigious,
I'm going to say it wrong,
each and every time I'm with you, I say it wrong,
but it's always an honor to be with you
and all of you, as a matter of fact.
The Tsinghua University.
Really?
All right.
Throughout all this horror,
you're a little comedic, Lee.
Simply, for him, his spiritual belief, his PhD,
his study was interrupted
and he was imprisoned for five years.
William was lucky enough to flee China
and come to USA in 2008
and he's now a senior engineer living in Pennsylvania.
Dr. Jesse Uruso is the medical,
I'm sorry, the mental health advisor for Dr. Uruso
and that's a non-profit organization
with the mission to educate the medical community
and the public, all of us,
to what's been happening, what is going on right now.
I suppose I really shouldn't be saying that.
There's no secret that this illicit organ harvesting
is happening and happening right now.
The problem is what to do about it
and she knows how to help individuals
as well as groups through all this as well.
By the way, she's been nominated three times
for a Nobel Peace Prize.
What do you work in?
Pardon me?
What do you work in?
She's got it.
And recipient in 2019 of the Peace Memorial Award.
And he's lived in two other countries
before finding his home here in the United States.
He's a board member
for the Greater Philadelphia Falun Dafa Association,
non-profit organization dedicated for sharing
the beauty of traditional Chinese culture.
And as a grandson of a Holocaust survivor,
he deeply cares to raise awareness
about persecution of Falun Dafa,
Falun Gong practitioners in communist China.
And it's a delight to have you here as well.
We are here amongst people who have suffered greatly,
more so than any of us in the world.
And I've thought about this quite a bit
and I really appreciate Paul Baumach
and as well as Mike Ramone.
And by the way, County Council also issued an ordinance
a while back calling for an investigation.
And Senator Chris Coons also
forwarding legislation resolutions.
And I wonder, as a Delawarean,
why are we here, what do we do, what can we do?
Well, what is it, over 70% of corporations
are incorporated here in Delaware, in the United States?
How many of them, and this is something
that I've asked and pressed for for years,
how many of these corporations are engaged
in the manufacture or distribution
of transplant surgery equipment?
Shouldn't there be maybe a state law
that would forbid the sale, the distribution
of such equipment to communist China?
So all these resolutions, in my mind, my opinion,
are a start to get people aware.
And quite honestly, there are a lot of questions
I have asked and could ask, but what I'd like to know is,
do any of you have any questions of any of our panelists?
If so, please raise your hand.
And, yes.
The people who receive the organs, where are they coming from?
Oh, there you go.
Jessica, do you wanna take this one?
Sure.
Okay, he asked, where are these people
who are getting the organs coming from?
Yeah, great question.
They're from all over.
Many are from Asia, the Middle East, including the U.S.
Still, we hear from surgeons from time to time.
I have a patient who has an appointment
to go to China to get a vital organ.
Yeah, well, we're trying to, so there have been
three states in the U.S. that have passed legislation
that are prohibiting insurance companies
from reimbursing for these procedures.
Someone goes to China to get an organ.
And then we have at least eight countries
that have legislation trying to end this.
So, preventing their citizens from going to China,
getting a transplant, coming back, being reimbursed.
And where does it, as a country,
where does the United States stand?
Well, the U.S. right now, we have
the Female Organ Protection Act.
You saw that at the end of the movie.
So, that was passed in the House.
The U.S. House of Representatives on June 25th.
Now it's in the Senate.
That was introduced in July.
So, we're looking for co-sponsors.
We're hoping that Senator Coons
and Senator Carper will sign on.
Senator Coons was on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
So, we're very interested in having any of the senators
from the Foreign Affairs Committee
co-sponsor this resolution.
So, this will actually provide sanctions
against known criminals in this crime.
And it will have, it has a reporting feature.
So, that we know what's going on.
So, right now, it's not transparent.
We really don't know what's going on in China,
who is doing these, how many.
We have a general estimate, but we don't have the details.
So, this bill, it passed into law, will provide that.
It will also help the medical institutions in the U.S.
be protected from complicity with China.
Because right now, we are training Chinese physicians
who will likely go back and commit these murders
because we know the voluntary donation rate
is very limited, 0.3%, which is about
just over 300,000 people.
We know the execution rate has been going down for years.
That does not account for the huge numbers
that they're doing.
Just to put it in perspective,
so China is doing between 60 to 100,000 transplants per year.
The U.S. does about 45,000 at the most per year.
And we have, in the movie, it said about 120 million
on the voluntary donation list.
We have about 145 million at this point.
So, this is a huge difference, right?
And in the U.S., you have to wait at least a year,
two years, sometimes you never get your order in.
So, we're complicit, and that's a huge problem.
We weren't complicit.
China would not have the power to do what it's doing.
We have pharmaceutical companies.
There are 29 in the Western nations,
most of them are based in the U.S.
They're supplying materials for China's transplantation.
Then we have medical supply companies
that are also supplying materials.
So, we have a lot of institutions that are doing that.
All right, question for Mr. Chang and our translator.
And then I'll ask William the same question,
and the question is this.
What do you think it would take
to end this genocide in Communist China?
The only thing I can say is that
the CCP's crime of living in organs
has never been committed on this planet.
So, I think I've seen this,
it's really a crime that I've never seen before.
It's a crime against humanity.
It's organ transplantation is aimed at the whole world.
It's a crime against the whole world's good people.
And they're killing people,
and actually they're opening the market to the whole world.
Really, many, many people are being complicit to this crime.
This is something that everyone knows.
People all over the world know about it.
This is something that has never been done before.
So, as more people realize this is happening,
I hope that more people will take notice of this,
so that we can end this persecution.
Now, in a limited situation,
the Falun Gong practitioners have come forward to protect the Falun Gong practitioners.
So, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
There are certainly a lot of work to do,
and one important step is the U.S. Falun Gong Protection Act.
So, I hope you all can urge your senators to respond to the bill and let it pass.
That will certainly be a step in the right direction.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you all.
Thank you.
This is not a political event.
Thank God there are politicians here,
because it's policy, as we hear, that needs to change.
We have a candidate, a new candidate for U.S. Senator over there, Dr. Katz.
We also have, like I said, Mike Ramone,
who's sponsoring a resolution for this,
which did not quite pass the House, but not the Senate.
Dave Lawson, Republican, the Democrat, Chris Coons,
Democrat who, I think, is not here, but he was with the Newcastle County Council.
Many, many people, bipartisan, show support for this.
And it's beyond me as to why such simple resolutions don't get passed.
I don't know, Mr. Blunt, I'd like to ask you the same question.
And then, Jessica, I think it might be right for me to ask you
about why you think that these don't get passed the House,
perhaps you as well.
But what do you think it's going to take for this to stop?
Yeah, sure, thank you.
You know, for my personal opinion,
I think every voice matters, every action matters.
I can give you an example.
When I was in jail in 2003,
I experienced very great psychological pressure
and also physical torture and abuses every day, every moment.
And one day, the guard told me that he received a letter from the US,
from a former practitioner of America.
And the letter urged them to stop the prosecution from immediately
and release all the practitioners in the jail immediately.
Then the guard, you know, he showed that he's upset or angry of that letter,
but in reality, the prosecution against me
kind of got relieved somehow, someway in that short time period.
So this is my personal story that, you know, this international pressure
and really, really can help to relieve the pressure,
to relieve the persecution inside.
And this one way we can look at this kind of a question.
Another way we look at it is the Chinese Communist Party,
also in communism, is like a poison.
It cannot change the problem by itself.
It has to experience the pressure from outside.
Also, you know, the awareness by all the people in the world is very crucial.
And the good news right now, over 430 million Chinese people
have quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
This is a great deal.
So more and more Chinese people, especially more Chinese people,
are aware of the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party and quit it.
This is, you know, that will be a disaster for CCP.
So in my opinion, you know, this crime, like false organ harvesting,
this kind of a crime will not end until the Chinese Communist Party
lose power in mainland China.
You know, if the CCP collapse by itself,
or I mean, if it collapse in China,
then this crime, including false organ harvesting, will end eventually.
Jesse, this seems like such an obvious and simple thing.
From what?
I'm not military, but I lived in Fayetteville, North Carolina,
home of George Wright for many years.
And even as recently after 1999, as 2001 or so,
I was talking to a friend of mine there, George Wright,
and they had heard about this.
They had been stationed in and around China.
So the Tribunal proves that this is happening.
We have now two documentaries that are fairly well-known,
but not well-known enough, proving this is happening.
We have Mr. Chang, who is living proof with the story of this,
here in this country.
Why can't, why isn't there legislation right now
preventing businesses from doing this kind of business with China
and also preventing nationwide insurance companies from covering this?
That is the question, right?
It's a major, major question we're always asking ourselves.
We're asking politicians and corporations,
what is the holdup?
I think a lot of it is money, you know,
because there are so many corporations and governments tied into China.
And I think they feel that they would lose too much.
I think this is true for the transplant infrastructure in our country.
I think it's true for the transplant infrastructure in many countries.
They are so tied in.
Doctors Against Forced Urban Harvesting
was at the American Transplant Congress maybe a couple of times,
but this last year we were blocked.
They have tried to block us before,
and they've never given us a good reason.
And they actually tried to block another nonprofit with a similar mission.
And all we can think is that they want to continue doing business with China.
You know, years ago, when they came to Philadelphia,
we had a booth there,
and there was an Asian woman, well-dressed,
she came up to our table,
and she looked at our poster,
and she paused, and she said,
you're making us look bad.
And I thought,
well, if you're making you look bad,
stop doing what you're doing.
And then she said, we just need more time.
So, her answer was very striking to me.
I mean, I think it was an acknowledgment.
But really what was so striking
was that I had likely a mass murderer
standing in front of me,
and this was in Philadelphia,
of all places, in the United States.
So, the transplant community,
they know what's happening,
but they're turning a blind eye,
because they want to continue to work with China.
Alex, would you like to add to this?
Yes, I want to add to that
from a perspective of,
as it was mentioned,
my grandson was a Holocaust survivor.
So, when my grandfather told this story later,
I read a lot about it.
The first reports in the United States,
when they come out,
they were saying it was the shower rooms,
it wasn't the gas chambers.
Until we will raise awareness
to the point that that would mean
mainstream media
stop publishing bad things,
and start opening up
spreading the truth
and not being afraid
of losing their position
in mainland China.
Their reporters use us in other parts.
That's going to be concealed.
And it happened with the Holocaust.
I believe it would happen with a strike
against humanity,
which is on the scale of the Holocaust,
as we just heard.
They write 6,100,000
of victims
for 20-25 years.
In my calculations,
it's over 1.5 million
of murdered people,
and it could be much more.
The other part is,
if we all raise awareness,
we have friends, family, relatives.
This is how, initially,
Kuala Lumpur was spread,
because people loved it,
they benefited with their help,
and spread around the world,
over 100 countries.
I'm not Chinese,
but I benefit from Kuala Lumpur a lot.
My Jewish background
doesn't prevent me from benefiting from it.
I make sure that we help
these wonderful Chinese people
survive and thrive,
and spread this truthfulness and compassion for parents,
and then stop the persecution.
Now, if we spread it
to our friends, everybody,
we're going to touch people's hearts.
And a lot of these will be experiences,
personal experiences,
that when you are touched,
you know what to do.
Even the resolutions already passed
happened that way,
that people were touched,
and great people like Rick,
like our representatives,
like others, they came, they saw,
and then their hearts tell them what to do.
This is what raises awareness,
and eventually, there will be a critical mass,
where no organization, no media,
nothing can block it.
But we need to run fast, speed up,
because every day we lose
somebody dies on the table that day.
During this conversation,
a couple of hours,
multiple people were murdered in China
for their organs.
And I commend countries like Israel,
where I lived for eight years,
because of the patient
who went to China to get a heart
on an indicated day,
they had a surgeon,
a transplant surgeon for heart surgery,
investigated that,
brought it to PNASYF,
which is a building in Harlem, here,
and they banned transplantation
nationwide.
This is what the United States really needs to do,
and we need to do it urgently.
Yeah, go ahead.
By the way, with the Israel bill,
once that was passed, it became the law,
it cut down anybody
going to China from Israel,
and then it also raised the voluntary donation
by 300%.
You know, so that's really amazing.
I just also want to say
that I think there's two things here.
One, government officials
are not getting any pressure,
so pressure can often come from media.
When things are being reported,
people are seeing what's happening
and they're getting upset, right?
They know what's going on. But too many people
don't know what's going on, because the media's
not reporting it, and that's not
by accident.
Well, let me address that, because I'm just a local guy.
I'm just a Delaware guy.
But that's it.
So, this,
as well as the previous documentary
that you all know about, should be on
ABC, CBS, NBC, should be on Netflix,
should be on Amazon Prime,
should be everywhere,
and should be heavily promoted.
And I believe it should be broadcast.
You know?
So, I know you're very,
the two of you are a board member
of Falun Dafa,
and you're out there promoting this
all the time. Have you tried
to get these on the networks?
And what has been the response?
Yeah. It's very limited.
Because these are like corporations.
They work with China. So, in fact,
if they focus on this issue,
they will not have access to China.
There was a story years ago.
A German journalist, who was based in Beijing,
Didi Kirsten Katlow,
she overheard
some Chinese surgeons
talking about using Balogun practitioners
for an organ source.
She went to her
supervisor, and she said,
I would like to publish this.
He said, no, you can't do it.
So, she ended up publishing a watered down version
about executed prisoners
being used as an organ source.
And then she eventually left the paper.
But that's the kind of thing that happens all the time.
What about here?
I mean,
my gosh, you would think that,
especially on some of these Sunday news programs,
this would be
an extraordinary story.
It's the same thing.
Wherever you're based,
everybody wants to work with China.
It's a huge market.
You don't get access to any other sources.
You can't be based in China.
The New York Times was banned
from having any access in China
until they started reporting negatively
on Balogun.
So, that's huge.
And the other thing I think
is important here as to why people
are not taking steps
towards ending this
is the genocide
that they talked about in the movie.
So, any government that wants to enact genocide,
they often start with the media.
And they use heavy propaganda.
All the media in China
is state-run, but they've also done it internationally
by pressuring Western journalists
and by
having inserts
that also include the propaganda.
And so, people,
government officials,
doctors, they have this negative
idea about Balogun
where they're not even human.
They're subhuman, and they're not worthy of the kinds of rights
like normal people have.
Same thing they did
during World War II against the Jews.
So, this is what any government
does, and this has been very, very
powerful. And I was meeting recently
with the Senate office.
They had this crazy idea
about these kinds of prejudices
that Balogun practitioners have.
And they said, we can't sign a bill
that's going to support Balogun specifically
because they're prejudiced.
And I said, that is ridiculous.
What about alternate streaming services?
So, I mean,
is Vice TV even around anymore?
I don't know.
It's on a YouTube channel.
Things like that, you know.
Have you tried some of these?
Yes, you have.
It's frustrating.
And deadly.
Yes, absolutely. Right, because our silence
means that people are being killed.
And it is one to two per hour
that are being killed for open transgender.
Maybe I want to add
one more thing. Amazon Prime
had some of the documentaries
available, and some of them
still there.
But as soon as they published a lot of times
either a nice article
or documentary, other part.
There is something called Trolls
on the internet, where they send
army. In Chinese Communist Party
it's called 50 cent army
because they pay you 50 cents or whatever amount
for every negative post
to destroy the person, the organization
or whatever overseas.
And they would swarm
and then basically bad ratings
or other part to put it down
or somehow discredit it.
And that's been done across the board
to many articles, documentaries
and other efforts.
We tried to do screening
in a university.
I graduated from Rutgers University.
There were Chinese students
I don't know how many
of them were students or agents or whatever
but they were petitioning outside
that this is against China.
No, it is against CCP
but it is for China.
We are actually supporting Chinese people
for their freedom.
But of course it exposes Chinese Communist Party
in a very bad light.
So they were told
to do that.
It's a very sad situation.
Does anybody have a question?
Can you print this out?
Take a picture of me.
What are the chances
of defeating the Communist Party in China?
What are the chances of defeating the Communist Party
in China?
Can I maybe just start
with one comment?
After the Holocaust
the
Nazism or Fascism
was exposed and put on a public trial.
That helped.
If we do the same with the Communism
today
put it on a public trial
and expose every single thing that happened
because of the Communism.
In China alone
according to the Victims of Communism
memorial
over 80 million people
were killed, murdered
through years of peace.
If we expose it
if we put Communism on trial
that will help
first people who didn't understand
and decouple
and second put this immeasurable pressure
for them to stop
and eventually collapse
because they don't have support of their own people.
Do the Chinese people have the will?
I think he's talking about the international response
Do the Chinese people have the will?
Yeah, that's a good question.
One bad thing is
the CCP is very good at brainwashing.
They brainwash
every Chinese
people
from a very young age
even Peter Garland.
They teach them
only CCP can save China.
A lot of the propaganda
a lot of this brainwashing stuff.
So generally
it's very hard for
the majority of Chinese people
to rise up
to try to
overthrow this kind of
regime because
anyway it's very hard.
You heard about 1989
Tiananmen Square Massacre, right?
That is a democratic movement
but eventually cut down by
CCP.
They have two ways.
One is violence
another way is propaganda.
CCP is very good at this kind of thing.
Alex bring a very good
book
Non-commentaries on the Communist Party
after this panelist
came here to look at this book
or you can order on Amazon
or whatever. It's a very good book
to talk about
the evil nature of the CCP.
So I believe
as we mentioned
more and more people
breathe through
this kind of brainwashing
be aware of the
evil nature of the CCP
then we will feel.
That is very important.
Thank you.
Dave, you have a question?
Comment first of all
Can you hear me down there?
Alright, first of all
let me go back to the Senate and the resolution.
I was a sponsor in the Senate.
And Senator Townsend
came to me and said
we're not going to run it.
I said why? He said well it's going to damage
our relationship with China.
I said what
relationship? What are you speaking of?
He said well we have a good
rapport with China. We don't want to mess that up.
And we want to keep from ruffling
any feathers. So he would not
put it on the agenda.
Wait a minute. You're talking about Brian
Housen and Bill Patten?
Yeah.
Senator Brian Patten's relationship with China?
Maybe it is.
I don't know.
Because I've been a Delawarean
for years. I've been involved
in a lot of resolutions, legislation
and like Senator
Lawson was saying, he was going
to initiate a resolution
several years ago
that got blocked.
And Representative Ramon
raised it again this year
and used his leverage, whatever that is
to push through the House
but completely blocked in the Senate.
And Senator Lawson was saying
it's been blocked for years.
However,
in 2006 when the issue
first came out
Senator Sokolam was the
Senator who initiated
this resolution working with me
and passed it in the Senate
in our state
and calling this a genocide.
Calling for the State Department
and the White House to investigate.
Take it very seriously and
took the action of the first state.
Our first state took the action
and it was the first state in the whole
United States that our state took the action
and had a stand on it.
Now, 18 years
has passed. In our state
in our home state, a resolution like this
has been blocked.
So, when we ask the question
why this is not seen in the news
why we're allowing this
our state is allowing this.
And Senator Sokolam is the same person
who initiated the resolution back in 2006
now is the President of the Senate
he is blocking it.
So, unfortunately, that's the story
that we're seeing in the past
maybe, I don't know, recent years.
It's very unfortunate
that this is happening.
It's very crucial for us to
first sign the petition
we have the petition in the back
and the other thing, we really appreciate
that you personally write
and contact, call, Senator Coombs
to have him
to put a stand on
this Falun Gong Protection Act.
He's a pioneer, he's in the Foreign Relations Committee
he is a leader
in the Senate about human rights
especially human rights in China.
His office was the one that
we need to hear from our constituents.
Senator Sokolam is very supportive
he is the initiator for Stop Organ Harvesting Act
it's another bill
currently in the Senate
passing the House, blocking the Senate right now.
He's the initiator
but he hasn't put his name on
this Falun Gong Protection Act yet.
His assistant has been asking me
we submitted over 200
petitions from our
constituents
that hasn't been able to move
Senator Coombs with his name on
this particular bill
as Jessica was saying
this bill is very powerful
it's protecting in major
the victim's group
from getting persecuted
and harvested with their organs.
This is what we can do
our voters can change the tide
our voters are very powerful
I'm very hopeful that you folks
can make the change
have your voice heard.
Senator Lawson, you want to say something
because you're initiating this thing
in the Senate.
A couple of things if I may
certainly the Senate
resolution back
was blocked by Senator Townsend
with the idea that we have a good
relationship with China, Middletown.
No further questions.
But my
concern is we're looking about getting it
out in publication. Wait a minute
why does China own farmland
in this country?
Let's go there
and quit buying hats
and all these other things.
Everything I pick up that says made in China
I put it down.
We cannot do that.
By supporting
the economy we are
complicit in this behavior.
This is impossible to continue.
We've got to stop it, we've got to
take a stand. It's just not the voting
we can do it economically
just one grain at a time
but it makes an impact.
We have to do that.
This movie
is just absolutely
well, like the
Holocaust. We
can't believe that.
This is why I don't believe it.
Humans don't do that to humans.
Really?
Law enforcement, 27 years, I can tell you
the most vicious animal out there
is a human being.
And you see it right here.
We can stop it
but we have to do a multi-pronged
it can't just be legislation
because legislation has
no teeth.
Economy has teeth.
Senator, that really
addressed my question.
If there is legislation
that bans that sort
of trafficking
of medical
equipment, surgical equipment, or
transplants with communist China
is that or is that not
two of the problems?
The executives
branch of the government
will not enforce
the rules. The laws are
passed and they selectively enforce
laws. Look at Kathy Jennings.
She selectively
enforces laws.
That's the executive branch
that is hurting us.
We can pass law after law
after law and there's
no teeth. But if the governor's
office says we're going to do this
then it changes?
It doesn't happen.
If you have a governor
that says we're going to enforce this.
If we have a governor
the current administration in the last
14 years that I've been in
doesn't have the backbone
to stand up and say
you the people, I hear.
We need someone who can
hear and will hear.
We have a few in the room, one
particularly right now, my cat
doesn't listen enough.
Any other questions?
Yes?
I want to throw this back to you
because I don't think you're as loud as I am.
I'm just taking it
all in and I guess
from a younger
perspective here,
I grew up with social media.
I just got on the TikTok train.
I'm 31 years old and I'm like what are these kids
talking about? But with that being said
my news feed blew up
with Israel, Palestine,
genocide.
We kept seeing that word over and over
and
I am not taking away
from anything that's happening in the Middle East
and my heart goes out to all the innocent people there
but with this happening for
years and my
group of
friends, my generation has
always joked about China.
This isn't anything really new
We talk about concentration camps
and labor camps that have been in China.
People know about it
but why?
It says what can we do, sure
but why do we
joke about China as a country?
Or globally, why does nobody
take China so serious
as to being an actual
Holocaust that we're living in?
Does that make sense?
I think it goes back to
some of the propaganda and other parts
When we start
as a country, and by the way
I'm new to this country so I'm learning
I'm learning and I'm respecting
and I'm learning history
founding fathers and many principles
this country was founded on
In my experience, I was born in Ukraine
then lived in Israel, then came here
Both countries now are engrossed in the war
I have personally
people, my family, my friends
who suffer there
This is the best country to be right now
The most free countries still get standing
but even this country
gets benefited a lot by the communist
evil ideology
that is destroying
from the young generations
to the older ones
for many years
So I think what we need
to do is we need to
start relating
There was an interesting story
from the Holocaust time
when one Christian, there was a book written
he talked about when Hitler came
after mentally ill people
I was quiet
I thought it's just them, there was some reason there
then he came after disabled people
and that was quiet
then he came after Jews
and then I realized
when he didn't come after me
nobody will stand by me
because he already destroyed everybody else
So we need to start speaking out right now
be loud and relate personally
to what is happening in China
because it's not that far away
our neighbor could be a more professional
colleague, best friend
So how can we
take an action
blow it up
like you said, I agree with you
we know about it, just many people
so desensitized
and so not understanding
I think Martin Luther King Jr. once said
injustice anywhere is a threat
justice everywhere
and this interconnected world
we all are affected
and we all are going to be impacted
if communism gets a hold here
so we need to resist
we need to speak up
we need to bring communism formally
openly
and then I reached one of the points
Any guests?
Just a follow up suggestion
have you gotten any information
with Joe Rogan on his podcast?
Yeah, well he's not the number one podcaster
you know, Joe Rogan
is going to reach millions of people
Thank you, TikToker
No, no, no, I am not a TikToker
I love him
Any other questions?
Yes
Fundamental question, what's the difference between
Balm and Dafa?
I can try to answer and then William will correct me
so
when
Balm and Dafa became public
so it's deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture
think about 5,000 years
of civilization
passed from single teacher to disciple
many years, there were multiple practices
one of them was Balm and Dafa
it was introduced to the public at that time
communism was already fully
blown, controlled in the country
and they banned any spiritual
movements and people got really
sick at that time
because there's no morality, full corruption
top to bottom, people start getting
sick and they start thinking
how can we revert it so they allowed
something called healing movements
like healing method
at that time it was called Qi Gong
you probably heard, Qi Gong, like energy
and then there was a boom
of energies in China
at that time and then Balm Gong was introduced
as Balm Gong
Qi Gong, type of
direct healing and all understanding
that you can recover your body
but actually it was a traditional
Chinese culture revival
they called it Virtues
that you could fall into in everyday life
think about how this works
to be a better person everyday, etc
so that's why originally
it was introduced in Balm Gong
but the name is Balm Dafa
this is why it has too many
yeah, he explained to me 20 times and I still
don't get it, so
any last question?
real quick question
have you ever heard of any of your
I think
just my general thoughts
there are multiple
groups in general who are exposing this
first as a persecution, but
as an organ harvesting
we mentioned that Senator Coons introduced
STOG, Organ Harvesting Act
the reason why
we push from both sides, one is general
organ harvesting, but second is Balm Gong
because Balm Gong is
considered in China a topical topic
this is the topic that's gonna topple Chinese Communist Party
because they are so involved
and directly build
their regime and protect it from
persecution of Balm Gong
now, if that will be exposed
then it's gonna benefit
every single organ
when happening organ harvesting, whether it's
against Uyghurs, Tibetans,
Austrians, everybody will benefit
if it's gonna stop, so yes
we do it from generic way
we support organ harvesting, but we need to tackle
specifically Balm Gong
because what happens is, Balm Gong topic
is what Chinese Communist Party is afraid of
and it's put down
and this is one of the reasons
why they try to block it anytime
you can talk about smaller
persecutions in China
if you bring Balm Gong, it's a taboo topic
they walk away, because they don't want
to touch it, they don't want to do anything
with it, and they try to block it directly
so this is a topic that helps
to break through, because this is
where the most vulnerable, that's my personal opinion
ok, anything else?
well
I want to let you know
that it is an honor
to know you and to
have been involved in conversations
with you, formally and informally
and I invite you
to share that honor
and take a look at
some of the materials they have
