NTD NYHETER: VECKA 13

It has been a full century since the Communist Party seized power in the Soviet Union. According to records compiled by the U.S. Congress, Communist regimes were responsible for the deaths of at least 100 million people. The Black Book of Communism details this history of murder. From documents declassified by the governments of nations in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, as well as official records on the victims of Communist political campaigns in China and North Korea, the public has gained a good picture of the Communist Party's addiction to killing. Communist totalitarianism is often compared to that of the Nazis. While there are many parallels to be found, there is one crucial distinction that is often overlooked. The Nazis aimed to eliminate the Jewish people, but the goal of communism People of faith do not consider physical demise to be one's true death, since the soul goes to heaven or is born again in the cycle of reincarnation. The Communist Party uses killing as an instrument to plant the seeds of terror in the minds of the people, forcing them to accept its evil ideology. Through the destruction of morality, people's souls are fated to damnation. The Communist Party aims to destroy not just man's physical body, but also his soul. An additional characteristic of the Communist Party is the intensity with which it carries out internal purges and selects the cruelest of leaders. It is difficult for many to understand the rationale behind the barbarity inflicted by the Communist Party upon its own ranks, including those who became victims simply for deviating from the party on specific issues, while otherwise being wholly loyal to the party and its leadership. One reason is that the Communist Party, in its rebellion against gods and humankind, possesses an instinctual fear that its doom is always around the corner. To reinforce itself, the party needs to recruit individuals with no regard for moral right and wrong. These individuals are distinguished in the process of mass killing, and their elevation to positions of leadership enables the specter of communism to ensure the perpetuation of its earthly tyranny. In 1989, the Chinese Communist Party, CCP, cadres who refused to participate in the June 4 Tiananmen Square Massacre were purged. Zhang Zemin, who demonstrated his cruelty during the events, was promoted to become leader of the CCP. After Zhang began the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, he promoted officials such as Luo Gan and Zhou Yongkang to high positions, as they had demonstrated their ability to commit the most brutal crimes in the persecution. Another motive for killing is to recruit participants from general society, as was done during the Cultural Revolution. By committing murder and other crimes, the masses implicated themselves as accomplices to the CCP's savagery, and the most brutal perpetrators became the staunchest followers of the party. Even today, many former Red Guards who committed assault and murder during the Cultural Revolution express no remorse for their crimes, saying they have no regrets about the events of their youth. Furthermore, by killing its victims openly and deliberately, the Communist Party intimidates the general population into obedience. All this allows us to expound on a general principle. Throughout history, killing has occurred under tyrannical governments or during times of war because there was an enemy to be defeated. It is the characteristic of the Communist Party that it must have an enemy, and if there are no enemies, it must invent them so that it can continue to kill. In a country like China, with its long history and rich culture, the Communist Party could not achieve its aims without continuous killing. Traditionally, the Chinese people believed in and revered the divine. Steeped in a cultural heritage of 5,000 years, the Chinese people would not otherwise tolerate the existence of the barbaric and blasphemous Communist Party. The CCP's sole means of maintaining its rule, as learned from the Soviet trial run, is the use of mass murder. 1. The Violent Foundations of Communist Rule Being the embodiment of an evil specter, communism's starting point could not be anything other than dishonorable. After Karl Marx proclaimed that, quote, a specter is haunting Europe, the specter of communism, bandits and ruffians established the Paris Commune, laying waste to the French capital and its unparalleled works of art and culture. In Russia and China, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, CPSU, and the CCP seized power through despicable acts of conspiracy and bloodshed. A. The Rise of the Soviet Communists In February 1917, food shortages and deteriorating working conditions drove Russian industrial workers to go on strike. As the turmoil spread across the country, Tsar Nicholas II stepped down from the throne, and the Russian Provisional Government was established. Learning of these events, Vladimir Lenin immediately returned to Russia from exile in Switzerland. At the time, World War I was raging. The countries between Russia and Switzerland were all hostile. In late 2007, the German magazine Der Spiegel revealed a 90-year-old secret. Kaiser Wilhelm II, who regarded Russia as a grave threat, realized that Lenin could bring disaster to Russia, so he allowed Lenin to travel through Germany to Sweden, then Finland, and eventually back to Russia. Wilhelm II also provided money and munitions to Lenin. By the end of 1917, Lenin had received 26 million marks from Germany. Winston Churchill had this to say about Germany's role in Lenin's return. They used the most lethal weapon in Russia. They shipped Lenin back in a tightly sealed truck, as if shipping a type of plague virus to Russia. Lenin carried out a coup on November 7, 1917, or October 25 by the traditional Julian calendar. With the October Revolution, Lenin overthrew the Provisional Government and established the world's first communist regime. But in the democratic election for the Russian Constituent Assembly, the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries, SRs, won a majority of national votes over Lenin's Bolshevik Party, which controls the government administration. Out of an electorate of 44.4 million people, 40% voted for the SRs, with the Bolsheviks losing by a 20% margin. After this setback, in the Russian Constituent Assembly meeting on January 5, 1918, Lenin trampled on his promises and declared the Constituent Assembly an, quote, enemy of the people. Having prepared in advance to enact martial law on the day of the Assembly's meeting in the Russian capital of Petrograd, the Bolsheviks mobilized troops and disbanded the Constituent Assembly by force, destroying the democratic process in Russia. The October Revolution and subsequent Leninist takeover was the origin of all violent communist movements throughout the world in the 20th century. It triggered the international rise of communism and the countless catastrophes that followed. B. The Chinese Communist Party Seizes Power After 1917, when the Soviet Union was just established, it exported revolution to China by making use of the fact that the Republic of China had joined the Third Communist International, or Common Term. The Bolsheviks dispatched Grigory Voitinsky to China to establish a local communist organization. Then it sent Mikhail Borodin to engineer an alliance between the Chinese Nationalist Party, Kuomintang, and the Soviet Union. Under this arrangement, the young Chinese Communist Party was given opportunities for rapid growth by subverting the Kuomintang. During World War II, in the eight years that the Kuomintang waged an all-out war against the invading Japanese army, the CCP used the conflict as cover while it expanded its forces. When the Japanese invaded China, the Red Army was on the verge of defeat, but at the time of China's victory, the communist forces boasted 1.32 million regular troops and a 2.6 million-strong militia force. Following Japan's surrender, the CCP used the cover of peace talks with the Kuomintang to covertly expand its forces further. Meanwhile, the CCP's diplomatic efforts led the United States and the Soviet Union to abandon their policies that supported the nationalists. In 1949, the CCP finally defeated the Kuomintang government forces, founding the most evil totalitarian communist regime on earth. At this high point in the history of the world's communist movement, it controlled one-third of humanity and the world's land area, as it comprised Russia and China, the world's largest nations by size and population. Communist governments extended across large swaths of Europe and Asia, and many countries in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia became clients or allies of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union or the Chinese Communist Party. Millions of people gave their lives on the battlefields of World War II, yet the unexpected result was the rapid expansion of totalitarian communism. The development of biological technology will continue to heal human organs. The more active, the more human. Even immortality. Putin and Xi went to the podium at the Heavenly Palace of Peace, where they then watched the parade. The moment was broadcast live on both Chinese state media and international media. Putin later confirmed to journalists that he had actually discussed life-long ties with Xi. North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un lay and looked in the direction of Putin and Xi, but it was unclear whether the conversation had been translated for him. Human rights organizations have discovered that the Chinese communist regime for two decades has used forced organ harvesting from living social prisoners on a large scale. The organs have been sold at a profit to people in need of transplantations, including foreign visitors. Among the victims are prisoners of war, as well as ethnic and religious minorities. After the news of Putin's and Xi Jinping's conversation about organ transplantations and immortality, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, responded to a question posed by NTD on the morning of September 4. Discussing organ transplantation and immortality, we know that China is continuously harvesting organs by prisoners of conscience. What's your initial reaction to being heard discussing such a thing? Yeah, I will tell you that we've heard some horrific stories of this organ transplant and China that they take it from unwilling donors, okay, to put it mildly. And the fact that they were caught on a hot mic the first I've heard of that is very telling. It tells you what their worldview is in contrast to ours. Speaking of evil, we've heard of, you know, terrible stories. I've heard terrible stories of the Uyghurs, for example, this persecuted religious minority that they're using to harvest organs from. I mean, look, I don't, I'm not seeing the evidence of that. If the leaders are talking about it, it should alarm us. The United States, we're going to stand for morality and ethics, and we're going to stand against that. There's legislation, as you know, that would address it, and we might need to put that at the top of the priority list if that's what's happening. So that's news to me. When two young people in China disappear in the police custody, their families go on a 20-year journey to find them. Along the way, they make a shaking discovery, organ harvesting that has cost thousands of lives, and that is still going on today. The award-winning documentary State Organs was shown at Biograf Sita in Stockholm on January 15. My sister loves to sing, and she's a good dancer. My sister was arrested when she was handing out information. My brother and a lot of my classmates thought that we deserved it. He said he'd call me again, but I never answered his phone. The film State Organs premiered at Biograf Sita in Stockholm. The show was arranged by the International Society for Human Rights, ISHR. The film reveals forced organ harvesting in China, an issue that has long been a subject of international scrutiny, but which, according to critics, is still unknown to large parts of the public. This has been going on for over 20 years, really, and we have, together with many other associations, worked to shed light on the issue, especially for decision-makers, but we see that there is a lack of public knowledge, which is also important. But we are trying to get legislation in place that makes a difference. It's a gigantic market that China can fill, so we have to make sure that there are no customers. It's one way to stop it all, that people travel to China to get an organ, and the reality shows that it's possible to get something in maybe two weeks, which you can expect for years to come here in the West. It's one of the worst crimes you can think of, and we are also affected by it here in Sweden. The Speaker of the Parliament against Nima Ghulam Ali-Bur, the Sweden Democrats, believe that the issue must be raised more clearly, and that legislation in the West can play a decisive role. That this is happening in China is terrible, considering what an incredible culture they have. It's one of the world's largest civilizations, and now people are being treated that way over there. I think that many people don't know about it, and politicians have a greater responsibility to raise this issue in various forums, and really ask questions about this, and try to legislate against this as well, because we have to create more obstacles so that countries in the West don't contribute to this. We also have to make sure that this doesn't normalize in the West, because China is a great power, and now it's China's norms that are spreading, and we have to make sure that this kind of organ trafficking doesn't spread to the rest of the world. The film aroused strong reactions from Dr. Sally. It hurt my heart, because I have learned from the basics that doctors are there to save people and help them, not to harm them in any way at all. It was very good that this film was made in Sweden as well, and I'm very happy to have seen the film. The documentary State Organs can be found on NTD Sweden's website, ntdtv.se. A state-financed campaign that is maintained through extensive murder of social prisoners. A new book with the title Killed to Order reveals the crime of the Chinese Communist Party in the form of organ trafficking. From a geopolitical standpoint, if the person negotiating across the table from you would just as soon sell your liver, then it's not a very good negotiation. If this is how the people running the Chinese Communist Party treat the people of China, imagine what they would do to us. A state-backed multi-billion dollar industry that executes people on demand for their organs. The Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek has been tracking China's human rights violations for decades. In his new book Killed to Order, he documents how the Chinese Communist Party has been harvesting organs from living prisoners of conscience, an egregious act still happening at scale to this day. I did not know until I read Jan's book about how well developed this is in China, and it was a bit of a shock to me, but a wake-up call to all of us. I think we need to recommit ourselves as a civilization to the bodily integrity of every person, to the inherent dignity of all human life, and made in the image and likeness of God. Jekielek launched this book at the Trump Kennedy Center on Monday night, joined by actor and comedian Rob Schneider. Through decades of research, Killed to Order unpacks the scale and scope of the a system that involves military hospitals and the Chinese security apparatus. The number one target of this campaign is Falun Gong, a spiritual group that's been brutally persecuted in China since 1999. In 2019, a UK independent tribunal concluded that forced organ harvesting has been committed by the CCP for years. The panel also says that Falun Gong practitioners have been one and probably the main source of organ supply. Last week, a bipartisan bill titled the Falun Gong and Victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act was introduced in the Senate. The legislation would impose sanctions on those who were complicit in the crime. Reporting in Washington, D.C., Sam Wong, NTD News. For athletes, dancers, everything you do has to be perfect. My guy goes, come on, get up. We gotta do this. Like, bring it in more. People have called us the number one show in the world. Lovely job, guys. I just hope I can continue this career for as long as I can, because I don't want anything else in the world. But never would I have imagined what battle I joined. Hey, buddy. You guys are okay? There's like a huge team of people while we're on stage with dogs. Specifically targeting Shen Yun performance. No one wants to hear a bomb threat to the institution where your children are. We had a sense of anticipation. We didn't know how it would go. This is not a normal cut. This was done with the purpose of a tire exploding on the highway. This is, this is crazy. These are open Chinese spy organizations. They've gotten threats to shoot up the performance. All the noise and all the distractions around you. This is a machine that can be used against any American. Why are they doing this? How much more of this are we going to be able to take? We feel like we're at war. This is not going to stop us. We can't let it stop us. Sound check. What can I do to tell people our side? This tour is our chance to do it. It doesn't matter what the obstacles are. We're doing this together. A world-renowned performing arts group targeted by the Chinese regime. New York-based performing arts company Shen Yun has become a main target of the Chinese Communist Party. That's because it revives traditional Chinese culture under its tagline, China before communism. The company has faced repeated fake bomb and death threats. All hoaxes with no harm ever done. Now a head of state is caught in the middle. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was forced to evacuate his home after threats sent to the dance company. Large quantities of nitroglycerin explosives have been placed around the prime minister's lodge. If you proceed with the performance, the lodge will be blown into ruins. Federal police searched the site and confirmed it was a hoax, but evacuated the prime minister as a precaution. We shouldn't allow such hate crime and foreign interference continue in Australia by the Chinese Communist Party. This is unacceptable. I want to make sure that we have a united front. I'm very pleased to hear that the prime minister is safe and well, and that the threat came to naught. Shen Yun's performances in Australia haven't been impacted in the slightest and are going on as planned with its world tour. But sadly, the group is used to these threats, even though no actual attacks have ever occurred and no performance has ever been cancelled because of these threats. There's never ever been any actual bomb weapon. Last month, Shen Yun received an email targeting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. And last year is when the threats started piling up in the US. February 11th, 2025, politicians and congressmen from all countries who support Falun Gong will become targets of attack. And even shooting Trump and driving a vehicle loaded with explosives into the White House are not ruled out. With even their tour bus tires being slashed. And it's cut in such a way that the tire will not deflate immediately, but would explode at high speeds on the highway. In China, some family members of the performers are repeatedly harassed. My first MC partner was from Beijing and the National Security Bureau would visit her family in Beijing every single weekend, telling them, we know what your daughter is doing, get her to stop it. We had an arhu player, this is a musician soloist. When she was performing with us, her husband was jailed for three years and tortured. Now Shen Yun has grown to eight companies, performing for millions in over 200 cities worldwide. Seeking to revive traditional Chinese culture, a culture with a rich 5,000 year history, but nearly destroyed by communism. Shen Yun continues its global tour from now until mid-May. And despite the interference from the Chinese regime, Shen Yun says that they are not deterred. For NTD News Washington, I'm Jack Bradley. Fantastic. I'm fascinated by the precision, the evenness, the precision they have. And the tempo. It's the tempo that makes you never get tired. Yes, fantastic. Marie Lindqvist has performed on leading ballet stages in Europe, Asia and America, and has received several royal awards. In 2004, she was awarded the honorary title of Queen of Sweden, the highest distinction in Swedish dance, and in 2014 she was also awarded the medal Litteris et Artibus. Today she is a ballet master at the Royal Opera and teaches the Royal Ballet. She particularly emphasizes Shen Yun's choreography and the artistic expression. The expression, the storytelling, the drama. The drama in these stories that they want to bring out a very strong message in. I think it's really... Yes, you really take it to heart. Yes, apart from the dramatic stories that they told, I think the traditional dance with the girls was fantastic. The precision there was absolutely wonderful to see. And the arms, the artfulness in the arms is fantastically beautiful. Yes, I can't say enough. The precision, absolutely incredible. You can see what work is behind the hours, because everyone should be so even and exact. And to make it look so flowing and light. It's the same in classical ballet too. That it should just flow. Absolutely wonderful. Blomqvist was also impressed by the interaction between the dancers and Shen Yun's orchestra. The musicality is also completely enormous, from the dancers, from the whole troupe. For me, the live music is A and O. Just that it is a live orchestra, together with the dancers on stage, does something completely different. I also know, to the challenge, when you have live music, because then you are dependent on this evening's way of performing. And every day is a new day and everyone is an artist, everyone is less hoarse one day, more tired one day. So it's a interaction that should work. So that interaction is enormous, really. She also expressed appreciation for Shen Yun's spiritual depth and beauty. She would like to recommend others to go and see the performance. What you have on the web is just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Spiritual, beautiful. A lot of faith, spirituality. That you stick to the beautiful and the good. I think it is necessary. You need to believe in the good. And as they give a message that you should, despite everything that happens, you should keep the tradition and you should dare to believe in the good. I think it came out very strongly, that you have to do that in these times. Very nice. Absolutely, really. You have to go home and melt, I think. Make sure to go when they are here. A few performances I understand are worth it. It's an incredibly beautiful experience, you have to say that. A beautiful experience in the soul and physically.
