Falun Gong Get To Keep Their Organs, But Not For 100 Years

Ya, you heard me right! Turns out the Falun Gong will have to wait at least 100 years before the China grows-up, into a democracy. For now, growth is more important that human rights, buildings more valuable human suffering, and corruption more meaningful then equality and fairness. China says it will be 100 years before they are ready for democracy. That's a nice way to get away with atrocities. If you tell people it will take 100 years before you are more conscientious, well then... they will leave you alone until then. It some how seems ok to the lay person... they end up saying "it's ok to cut out organs... they will fax that problem in 100 years." LISTEN UP PEOPLE.... China has had 5000 years to advance into a equalist country... they have chosen communism not democracy. The only thing 100 years will bring is more pain and suffering. The great leap forward is only status-quo when it comes to Human Rights.

Leap forward a century away

DEMOCRACY in China could be 100 years away, its communist leaders say.They had no plans to allow it in the near future because they had to focus on economic development before political reform, Premier Wen Jiabao said in comments published yesterday.
Mr Wens' comments, which appeared as the Government prepared for its annual parliamentary session, came as activists press for an end to the ruling party's monopoly on power.

Free Software Takes Users Around Filters

Savvy Internet users have always been able to slip past the government's firewall by adjusting their browsers to detour data through computer servers that aren't blocked. But the process is difficult for many users, and it is unreliable because the government eventually identifies and blocks the servers.

Both work with computer networks outside China to lead users past government filters to Web pages with Falun Gong material attacking the Communist Party. Once past the firewall, users can visit any blocked site, including the blog that Zhao Jing maintains on an overseas server, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia and dissident news forums.

UltraSurf, in particular, is effective because its works in the background, allowing users to browse the Internet as usual. About 80,000 people use it every day, according to the California company that makes it, UltraReach Internet Corp.

UN Calls for China to Investigate Abuse of Falun Gong

At times the UN appears to only serve as a propaganda machine. Here's a case where they legitimately ask HR organizations to investigate the FLG abuses by China, with support of the UN... but as usual, the issue is swept under the rug.

KMT blocks call to investigate Falun Gong persecution

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus yesterday blocked a legislative resolution that would have asked the UN and international human-rights groups to investigate China's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

According to the Taiwan Falun Dafa Association, China has stepped up persecution of Falun Gong members, imprisoning them in concentration camps -- including one in Liaoning Province where some are said to have had organs removed for transplant.

Chinese Police Officer Speaks Out on HUMAN BODY SHOP

China's execution van

Not that I need any more convincing or anything, but I'm always interested to read another story of the bizarre behavior coming out of a country which claims to be an equal to the U.S. Cutting out organs from prisoners is not a good place to start your path the higher living. When you look a little closer you realize China's human body shop is all about making money, and the Falun Gong are paying for it with their organs!

Former Chinese policeman lifts lid on organ harvesting

It claimed since 2000 almost 40,000 transplants have been carried out using body parts harvested from executed members of the Falun Gong movement.

"As far as I know during the period I was a policeman all the organs were harvested by the Friendship Hospital in Beijing."

"The Beijing Public Security Bureau would notify the Friendship Hospital before they carried out the execution of prisoners," Mr Sun said.

"The Friendship Hospital would then send an ambulance, and as soon as the prisoners were executed, the police on the spot would put them in a plastic bag and throw them into the van."

Former diplomat Chen Yonglin defected to Australia last year.
He says it was no big secret in government circles that both criminal and political prisoners were used for organ harvesting.

Mr Chen says it is as much for political purposes as it is commercial ones.
"In China, especially in modern time, the ethics standard is extremely low. A lot of, you can see that fake products, fake medicine everywhere in China. People just want money," he said.

Have Organs, Will Travel

As evidenced by the daily exit of organs from imprisoned Falun Gong members, China is a far cry from being a democracy. Not that anyone needed to be told... but now the CHICOMS are making an official statement.

The Communist Party

The Communist Party cautioned China's increasingly impatient reformers and intellectuals Tuesday that political liberalization and democracy are still a long way off despite the rapid pace of economic change during the past two decades.

Chinese Consulate Asleep At The Wheel?

Image

Seems the Chinese Consulate in Houston has been sleeping at the wheel. Someone forgot to tell one of their officials "Chen Guangda" that China is killing, torturing, and cutting organs out of the Falun Gong. But hey, it's never to late to learn. He could always read Cover For Action to learn about China's persecution of the FLG.

NEWS ALERT!!!! Chinese Consulate in Houston wants to help the Falun Gong. Let me guess, "we can help you sell your organs".

Group Claims China Harvesting Members' Organs

Chen Guangda at the Chinese consulate in Houston denied the allegations. "The Chinese government never persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. We just outlawed Falun Gong because it is anti-social, anti-humanity and anti-science cult," Guangda said. "We just want to help them."

Organ Harvest: A Chinese Festival

U.S. State Department: Sale of Human Organs in China

The State Department reported on Organ Harvesting in 2001, indicating they asked the Chinese Government stop harvesting from prisoners without their permission. At the time, the Chinese government provided an official statement that harvesting was not legal in China. Obviously they were not truthful nor did they listen to the U.S. One has to wonder how many bodies have been sliced open since 2001.... actually it's a matter of how many THOUSANDS have been murdered? The whole idea is simply sickening.

U.S. Department of State

The removal of organs from executed prisoners without proper permission from family members along with the trafficking in these organs is a serious, deeply disturbing subject that raises a number of profoundly important human rights issues. The State Department welcomes the opportunity to update the committee on our assessment of the problem and what the Department is doing to encourage China to put an end to this abhorrent practice.

A leading kidney specialist in Malaysia has estimated that over 1000 Malaysians alone have had kidney transplants in China. More recently, deeply troubling reports of Americans receiving transplants in China have been made public. American doctors, including Dr. Thomas Diflo, who will be testifying in a later panel, have reported seeing transplant patients from China in need of follow-up care. These patients have stated that they were informed by hospital personnel in China that the organs that they received came from executed prisoners.

Unfortunately, despite our efforts, as well as those of human rights activists like Harry Wu, human rights organizations, and concerned medical professionals, the practice of harvesting organs from executed prisoners continues in China. .....anecdotal and circumstantial evidence regarding the practice of removing organs from executed prisoners for sale to foreigners and wealthy Chinese is substantial, credible, and growing.

The Department of State is also aware of reports that it cannot independently confirm, of other, even more egregious practices, such as removing organs from still-living prisoners, and scheduling executions to accommodate the need for particular organs. In addition, there are compelling first-hand reports that doctors, in violation of medical ethics codes, have performed medical procedures to prepare condemned prisoners for execution and organ removal.

Expert calls for end to Chinese regime's spying

Amazingly many of the stories we hear from overseas mimic those that Congress states are going on in the U.S. Two recent bits of interest are reported in the EPOCH Times.


EPOCH TIMES

On Sept. 12, 2006, the regime's National Security officials kidnapped Wang on his trip to Zhuhai City, China. After 3 days of intense brainwashing and torture, the communist regime forced him to work as a spy in order to "destroy the HKET from the inside."

EPOCH TIMES

Under the threat of death and threats against his family, Dr. Wang Lian, an assistant professor at the Macau University of Science and Technology, spied for the Chinese Security Bureau on The Epoch Times from September to December last year.

Chinese Spy Majic

One has to wonder how many Chinese Agents are operating on U.S. soil. With constant reports of Front Companies, and attacks on the Falun Gong in the U.S., you get a sense Chinese Black Operations abound, unabated and unfettered.

Something that interested me was an article in NZ which pointed to the idea that Chinese operatives are operating more freely because of the focus on Counter-terrorism. What an interesting concept: while America worries about terrorist sleeper cells, Chinese intelligence cells rape U.S. technology and Chinese operatives harass, wire-tap, and assault U.S. citizens. It's sometimes hard to believe we are living in America! Has anyone asked the Chinese to make sure the go to the FISA court and get warrent to tap our citizens?

Spies in our midst, says SIS

A focus on counter-terrorism has allowed foreign spies to continue to operate in New Zealand unabated, the Security Intelligence Service says.

Spies were collecting economic and political information and scientific and technological research and development to further their own national interests. "Their activities can be harmful to New Zealand's international and economic wellbeing," Mr Woods said.

Auckland University's Paul Buchanan, a former CIA adviser, said the threat of espionage, especially by the Chinese as they sought to boost their influence in the South Pacific, was much more real.

"If they are going to be the next superpower, they have no choice but to expand their intelligence gathering."

Chinese Agents Target Falun Gong on U.S. Soil

The other day while looking over the blog I was again taken back by several posts which went up a few weeks ago. I wanted to highlight some of them again.

What should be important to readers of "Cover For Action" are the statements made by Congress which outline Chinese Agents operating in the U.S. Here's what I mean:

* Chinese Agents assault U.S. citizens in the U.S.
* Chinese Agents wire-tap U.S. citizens in the U.S.
* Chinese Agent harass and and intimidate U.S. citizens in the U.S.

The U.S. Government is acknowledging that Chinese operatives have infiltrated the U.S., and are assaulting and wire-taping U.S. citizens. This should be alarming to readers. How can foreign operatives do this in the U.S. to U.S. citizens, and it not be considered an act of war.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Resolution 304 also specifically mentioned section 401(a)(1)(B) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6401(a)(1)(B)):

The Falun Gong are Sticking it to Hu.

Firewall, Schmirewall. Where there is a will, there is a way and the Falun Gong are proving that time and time again. The Chinese Communist government has for years been trying to squash the Falun Gong. Their returns have been bad press, technologies that fail, and a label of the most murdering government in history. Now, the Falun Gong are fighting back and fighting mad.

Need More Organs? There are North Korean Slaves to Import

If you have a hard time believing the Chinese record on the Falun Gong, here's more evidence the country is a LONG stone's throw from being civilized. What's next.... importing slaves to harvest organs?

Thousands of North Korean Women Sold as Slaves in China

SEOUL—Thousands of North Korean women who fled famine in their homeland in recent years are believed to have been sold as “brides” to Chinese men, who often put them to backbreaking labor and subject them to constant fear, physical assault, and sexual abuse.

Chun Young-Hee said she had been sold by traffickers twice. “The bride’s price tag depends on her age and looks. The youngest and best-looking ones sell for up to 20,000 yuan. A bride that’s worth only 3,000 yuan is tough to sell.”

Bullying and physical violence are common, with some women deformed as a result. Unwanted sexual advances from other Chinese men are hard to refuse for fear of retaliatory deportation to North Korea, where returning defectors are often sent to labor camps.

“He hits me every day, for any trivial reason. It’s not that I want to live here, but I have nowhere else to go,” trafficking victim Hoh Kyung-Soon told RFA. “I’ve tried escaping twice. I was caught and beaten to a pulp.”

HU's Chinese Hackers Attack the U.S.

In the never ending saga of Chinese Hackers attacking the U.S. we get another news story. Yet, for all the concern over what the Chinese are doing to our infrastructure, the popular media is more likely to cover stories on who Fathered Anna Nicole's baby. Why this would be more important than a foreign government attack the U.S. is beyond me. I can see it now, once the Chinese take over the U.S. they will import their brand of law... how many Americans will get their livers harvested for being Christians? Unbelievable!!!!!!

Security News
20 February 2007

Attacks by Chinese hackers on US military computer infrastructure have reached the level of sustained cyber-warfare, and are likely to be government-backed, a senior US Navy official said last week.

"They will exploit anything and everything," the official said, according to the report. The attacks are so deliberate that "it's hard to believe it's not government-driven".

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Defence admitted its systems have been penetrated at least nine times since 2002, with five of the successful attacks taking place last year.

Beginning in 2003, US defence agencies have been the target of a series of intrusions, code-named Titan Rain, that was traced to a team of researchers in Guangdong Province. Titan Rain was first reported publicly in 2005

Chinese Balls... Meet Polosi's Shoes.

One thing will may cause the hardened, little blue pill, of China to fall... Polosi's boot. The CHICOMS and the CCP fear a Democratic congress for many reasons. When it comes to Human Rights, they are not push overs either. But besides the BIG issue of the FALUN GONG, Democrats see China's paper tiger economy as problematic. Changing the well fed homeostasis may just be what the Chinese need. Just in time for the Olympics too. CHA-CHING!

Why the Pelosi Democrats Scare China

"She scares the hell out of them." That's the way an American businessman, one with strong ties to the Chinese elite and a frequent traveler to Beijing, described to me how that nation's leadership views Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. But Madam Speaker shouldn't take it too personally. She probably serves as symbolic shorthand for the Democratic-controlled Congress that took power partly based on a promise to get tough on China. And it sure looks as if it intends to.

Stay Alert For Communist Spying Tactics

Several times I've asked readers of this blog to post or send me articles or write-ups which they feel passionate about. The title and post below is from "J" a regular reader and commenter to CFA.

Hong Kong—"Stay alert for communist spying tactics," said Hong Kong rights leader Szeto Wah after reading a special report by the Hong Kong Epoch Times (HKET) on Feb. 13. The report narrates how Wang Lian, a former HKET staff member, was forced to be a spy for the Chinese communist regime against HKET.

Wang Lian holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science. He joined HKET as senior technical support in 2001, and was later employed by Macau University of Science and Technology as Assistant Professor in 2004, while he continued to work for HKET as a volunteer. On Sept. 12, 2006, the regime's National Security officials kidnapped Wang on his trip to Zhuhai City, China.

Chinese Penetration of American National Assets

China continues it's covert operations against American interests; America Sleeps, Hands tied.

Chinas Secret Weapon
February 16, 2007:

The U.S. government has a growing problem with China's covert Cyber War against the United States. ...the action out of China is looking for military and technological secrets, data on how American military networks operate.

There are also attempts to plant special "time bomb" software that could be used in wartime. China is quite open about its intention to use surprise and deception in any future war with the United States.

So what does the U.S. government do, as the evidence against the Chinese builds up? No public statements are being made, but it is known that American Cyber War forces are studying the Chinese attacks carefully, nosing around in China as well, and preparing new Cyber War weapons.

At the same time, current laws prohibit many Cyber War techniques needed to thoroughly track enemy attacks (wiretaps, privacy and all that). So the Chinese move forward with their not-so-secret secret plan for making war via the Internet.

Congress Tells China To Halt Operations On U.S. Soil

Image Credit

While searching public record on Chinese influence on U.S. soil I came across an interesting bit of information in the Library Of Congress. In 2004, the 108th Congress passed a concurrent resolution calling for China to stand down its operations on U.S. soil, cease the targeting of U.S. citizens practicing Falun Gong, and asked U.S. law enforcement to investigate Chinese operations within the U.S.

I have to tell you, I was surprised to read such an amazing tale... one can only take the details as 100% factual as they came from Congress. Below I listed a few highlights for you. I'd be interested to hear from readers if they have seen, heard, or experienced of the the targeting in the aforementioned Congressional testimony.

The Library of Congress

108th CONGRESS, 2d Session, H. CON. RES. 304

Passed the House of Representatives October 4, 2004.

Expressing the sense of Congress regarding oppression by the Government of the People's Republic of China of Falun Gong in the United States and in China.

Whereas the Chinese Government has also attempted to silence the Falun Gong movement and Chinese prodemocracy groups inside the United States;

Whereas Chinese consular officials have pressured local elected officials in the United States to refuse or withdraw support for the Falun Gong spiritual group;

Whereas the apartment of Ms. Gail Rachlin, the Falun Gong spokeswoman in the United States, has been broken into 5 times by agents of the Chinese regime since the regime banned Falun Gong in 1999 in China;

Whereas over the past 5 years China's diplomatic corps has been actively involved in harassing and persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in the United States;

Whereas on June 23, 2003, Falun Gong practitioners were attacked outside a Chinese restaurant in New York City by local United States-based individuals with reported ties to the Chinese Government;

Are you kidding me? Break-ins, beating of U.S. citizens, attempting to silence free speech? This is going on in the U.S. by Chinese Agents. Is anyone else concerned about this?

Chinese Assassin's Mace

Another surprisingly quite fact about the Chinese Military and Chinese Intelligence: They are knee deep in the U.S. critical infrastructure and electronic backbone. The threat may no longer be from outside, but what they have left inside. Think of it as a front company within the U.S. electronic system. There is sits, working fine...seemingly a normal bit of software until the Mother-ship calls upon it to begin destroying U.S. networks. You can almost hear the clock ticking...tic..tic..tic.

Published on Feb. 13, 2007

NORFOLK, Va. -- At the Naval Network Warfare Command here, U.S. cyber defenders track and investigate hundreds of suspicious events each day. But the predominant threat comes from Chinese hackers, who are constantly waging all-out warfare against Defense Department networks, Netwarcom officials said.

Attacks coming from China, probably with government support, far outstrip other attackers in terms of volume, proficiency and sophistication, said a senior Netwarcom official, who spoke to reporters on background Feb 12. The conflict has reached the level of a campaign-style, force-on-force engagement, he said.

The motives of Chinese hackers run the gamut, including technology theft, intelligence gathering, exfiltration, research on DOD operations and the creation of dormant presences in DOD networks for future action, the official said.

Chinese hackers were responsible for an intrusion in November 2006 that disabled the Naval War College’s network, forcing the college to shut down its e-mail and computer systems for several weeks, the official said. Forensic analysis showed that the Chinese were seeking information on war games in development at NWC, the official said.

China's New War

While American diplomats express concern over Chinese military build-up, spying, and human rights record China presses forward. It's as if the U.S. were talking to herself. As the old saying goes... it's mind over matter. China does not mind what the U.S. says, because the U.S. does not matter to the Chinese. The U.S. position has become irrelevant to the hidden Chinese agenda.


Experts: US Should Worry About Chinese Anti-Satellite Device
By Stephanie Ho
Washington, 13 February 2007

China's destruction of one of its own satellites last month marks a turning point for the United States, in terms of the potential for military confrontation in space.

"It appears that the test in January was the fourth time it had been tested, the first time that it successfully conducted an intercept," he noted.

U.S. space strategists are especially concerned about China's development of radio frequency weapons that could jam transmission signals, as well as its development of ground-based lasers, which could in effect temporarily blind U.S. spy satellites.

"U.S. space planners are most concerned about the launching of small Chinese satellites into orbits that are very close to key U.S. intelligence, reconnaissance and communications satellites," he added. "Such parasite micro-satellites are presumed to be time bombs that could blind or cripple American military operations, not to mention communications and even U.S. financial communications, any communications, civilian communications."

Did Chinese Operatives Hunt Down a 14 Year Old Girl on U.S. Soil? Part II

Feb 12, 2007

NEW YORK—A Beijing girl held against her will by Chinese authorities here in the United States—and thought to be in imminent danger of abuse or torture should she be returned to China—is now safe. Grave concerns are now being raised for the girl's family still in China.

U.S. Customs Agents detained 14-year-old Youran Zhao (pronounced "yo-ran jow") and her two official chaperones at JFK airport in New York City Sunday afternoon as they were getting ready to board a flight scheduled to depart for China at 3:30 p.m. Agents held them until her aunt and legal guardian, Ms. Xiufen Zhang, arrived with her lawyer.

Zhang and Youran then left the airport by a side exit in order to avoid Chinese agents they feared would be in the vicinity. According to Mr. Yonglin Chen, a former Chinese Embassy official who defected in Australia in 2005, Chinese authorities have previously kidnapped foreign nationals back to China for punishment. The Chinese regime considers defections or asylum a blow to the Chinese Communist Party's esteem.

Did Chinese Operatives Hunt Down a 14 Year Old Girl on U.S. Soil?

An amazing story took place of several days within the U.S., yet the story got ZERO play in the popular media.

Cover For Action excited to provide the news for you.

Feb 11, 2007,

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The whereabouts of a Beijing girl named Youran Zhao, reportedly to be kidnapped in Boston by the chaperon of her student tour group between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 11, is still unknown. The American police are currently searching for the 14-year-old girl. Zhao's aunt Xiufen Zhang, a resident of New Jersey, is calling the public for help to locate her niece.

Zhao and her entire family practice Falun Gong. Zhao was selected to be part of a school tour for a winter camp in Los Angeles on January 30 this year. Prior to her departure from Beijing, Zhao contacted her uncle and aunt in New Jersey over the phone and email, expressing her wish to meet them in the U.S.

"But the Chinese Communist regime's Public Security Bureau (PSB) has been surreptitiously listening to our conversations and reading our emails. Before Youran's departure for the U.S., the PSB has threatened her family to arrest them and send them to China's gulag system, or fire their jobs in the Chinese government, if she were to meet with us in the U.S.," says Ms. Zhang.

Ms. Zhang learned that Youran's cell phone had been confiscated by the leaders of the tour group and they warned Youran again not to contact her aunt.

Ms. Zhang recalled, "When they took her away, I argued with the delegation for a long time. I fear that she would face persecution if she were to be removed to China."

After Ms. Zhang reported to the police, the study group's bus was greeted by the Boston police on the morning of February 11, but she was nowhere to be found. The police interrogated the group and learned that Zhao had been removed by two people from the group earlier.

According to the spokesperson of Falun Dafa Information Center, Mr. Kangang Xu, the child is not under any protection right now and faces the persecution of the Chinese Communist regime. She is in imminent danger.

According to an undisclosed American official, the delegation has decided to remove the child to China on the day of the kidnapping.

Uighur activist put to death by China

`WIDELY DISPROPORTIONATE': A Human Rights Watch spokesman said that the execution of Ismail Semed was inappropriate and not based upon 'sufficient evidence'

Ismail Semed, who was deported to China from Pakistan in 2003, had told the court his confession had been coerced, but he was executed nevertheless on Thursday in Urumqi, the capital of the predominantly Muslim region of Xinjiang...

"When the body was transferred to us at the cemetery I saw only one bullet hole in his heart," Buhejer told the radio station...

Semed had previously served two prison sentences for taking part in an uprising in 1990. He fled to Pakistan after participating in demonstrations for religious freedom in 1997 that ended in the Gulja Massacre when government troops were sent in to stop the protest.

Chinese Harrassment: Telephone Blast

Sometime ago I read an article about the Falun Gong receiving harassing phone calls from suspected CHICOM numbers deep within Bejing. I have to tell you, it sounded kinda odd. After posting a few articles on the Falun Gong, Cover For Action was contacted by concerned Falun Gong members who told a simlar story: being harrassed by phone.

I asked practitioners if they could provide me a copy of the phone message, so that I could hear it for myself. My initial plan was to post it for all readers to hear. But after some thought and discussion, it came to pass that posting the audio file would simply propagate what the CCP was trying to do: push out hate propaganda.

So readers, you'll have to take my word. I heard the file... it's a spooky automated bit of propaganda. For the most part, it's a demoralizing bit of wasted air canted at poking fun of the Falun Gong. In my grown up world, the calls seemed like school yard antics. But hey, whoever said the Chinese Communist Party was mature and responsible.

I should also note, many of the people who emailed me commented they felt intimated, scared, and harassed by the calls. The volume, duration, and frequency of the calls also seemed to serve as a telephonic Denial of Services too.

Discrimination, Hate Messages among Chinese Exports to U.S

Beginning Feb. 6, repeated calls were made to hundreds of people in more than 20 countries in a well-coordinated fashion. Friends whose mobile phones rang at the same time picked up and heard the same pre-recorded messages in Chinese or English.

Speakers at the Tuesday press conference described unlisted numbers in the U.S. being bombarded with calls and a feeling of invasion of privacy. They said that no group besides the
CCP has the ability and the motive to track down and call so many people in another country so systematically.

The pre-recorded messages were all against the practice of Falun Gong, and some also included Chinese nationalist messages. “My husband and daughter received calls, which disturbed us greatly,” said Ma Lili, a New York businesswoman who was forced to leave China after
Falun Gong began to be persecuted in 1999. Her friends in China were invited in to have a “conversation” with Chinese national security at the same time that the calls were being made.
Many recipients of the phone calls reported them to local police and intelligence agencies, such as the FBI.

The U.S. House of Representatives took note of CCP activities against Falun Gong practitioners on U.S. soil in its 2004 concurrent resolution 304, which calls for reporting and investigation
of such activities.

Exposed: Chinese Black Operations On U.S. Soil - Part III

I've been conducting more research on the matter of Chinese Operatives working against U.S. interests on U.S. Soil. What better source to understand the problem than the U.S. Congress.

Every day we read or hear about U.S. authorities attempting to identify sleeper cells and black operatives on U.S. soil. Nearly all of this relates to terrorism. Yet, the halls of Congress are dressed with testimony that reads like a spy novel... and the enemy is China. I encourage everyone to Google search "Congressional Testimony" and "Falun Gong". You'll be amazed at what is known about Chinese covert operations within the U.S. Yet, we never see these reports in the media. Why?

Below I provide a few snippets of what is known about Chinese Covert Operations in the U.S., and what's worse, it's often directed against U.S. citizens.

Resolution 304 also specifically mentioned section 401(a)(1)(B) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6401(a)(1)(B)):

Agents of China’s Communist Party Operating in the US

Resolution 304 calls on China’s agents in the United States to halt all operations being carried out against practitioners of Falun Gong on United States soil.

The resolution makes reference to China’s agents carrying out acts of violence and assault, property theft and destruction, illegal wire-tapping, harassment, intimidation, and persecution against practitioners of Falun Gong in the United States.

Exposed: Chinese Black Operations On U.S. Soil - Part II

Last year a Chinese Diplomat who defected to Australia appeared before the U.S. Congress to share the horror that caused him to defect. One always must question his motivation. At the time he appeared, he had already received asylum from Australia. Inflating stories and providing a fantasy tale to the U.S. gave him no benefit. Therefore, Cover For Action assumes his sworn testimony to be factual. Moreover, his statement is in line with other reports, giving it additional credence.

In his testimony he said there are thousands of informants working covertly, against the Falun Gong. He also indicated that Embassy's (missions...consulates etc.) have "at least" one official overseeing these operations.

This is nothing short of a BOMBSHELL! What he essentially said here is that Chinese Diplomatic missions within U.S. territory are launching black operations on U.S. citizens. This is powerful on many fronts: a. Chinese Covert operations are present on U.S. soil, operating out of Embassy's. and b. Chinese Covert operatives are targeting U.S. citizens (Falun Gong).

This is like saying that KGB operatives are targeting U.S. citizens. POWERFUL. Somehow though, I think if were the KGB, the story would get more play. We treat China with such Kid Gloves.

In doing a little research for this post, I was shocked and amazed at the the vast amount of congressional testimony which exists on this topic. Since the early 2000's Congress has been discussing how Chinese Covert operatives are working on U.S. soil: Covert Break-ins, Phone Intercepts, Assaults, etc. etc. again... VERY VERY SPOOKY. I'm spooked just writing this blog.

Mr Chen repeated claims that more than 1000 Chinese secret agents and informants were tracking and persecuting Falun Gong members. "In each Chinese mission overseas, there must be at least one official in charge of Falun Gong affairs, he said.

By Jonathon Browde WASHINGTON, DC

Mr. Chen described the organization of Chinese missions worldwide, saying they are divided into two categories: diplomatic and intelligence gathering. Those working to gather intelligence, Mr. Chen said, report directly back to Beijing and not their local mission, allowing Beijing to
use missions worldwide as a vast spy network.

The US House passed a resolution in September 2004 condemning the CCP for spying on and harassing Americans who practise Falun Gong. The resolution listed instances of breaking and entering as well as assault and battery. Mr. Chen also told the committee that the CCP
controls most Chinese-language media in the West, including the U.S., largely through dictating advertisement revenue through Chinese-owned businesses. With this control, the CCP can re-iterate the Party line in Chinese communities throughout the US.

Brad T. Delight

A few days ago I got a reply post from "Brad T."... he wrote a pretty nice little delight... with a brief look at the horror of communist rule. I liked it so much, I thought it deserved it's own space.

Thanks Brad T.

Communists commits genocide upon others, and its own countrymen.

Chinese Communism seems to be torturing and killing some group of people every decade.

1949 - Chinese Communism came to power in China. During World War II, they hung around villages, recruited members & ate for free. The communist only fought 2 battles; the rest of the fights were left to the Kuomintang. As a result, the number of Kuomintang soldiers decreased. When World War II ended, the communist came out in droves & chased the Kuomintang away.

1950s - The persecution of Tibetans began.

1969 - Cultural Revolution. All the good traditions and believes of ancient China were destroyed and trampled upon.

1989 - Tiananmen Massacre. Students were shot and rolled over by tanks for protesting.

1999 - Persecution of Falun Gong. Soon after, the communist started to make money from harvesting organs of Falun Gong people.

2007 - Shot an anti-satellite weapon into space...Every year, tens of thousands of protests happens in China and the number is getting larger.

I remembered the old "seem to be strong" communist Russia crumbled overnight, and it all began with the people losing faith in communism.That is exactly what is happening in China today.

Communist China is imploding.

Exposed: Chinese Black Operations On U.S. Soil

Sounds like the stuff movies are made out of. Spend a little time reading the headlines and it wont take you long to understand there is a greater chance that not that Chinese operatives are working their MOJO on U.S. soil.

For now, their hostile operations seem to be directed at dissidents such as the Uigurs and Falun Gong. Of course, read through my previous posts and you'll get a good history of their U.S. based operations respective of Front Companies, Economic Espionage, Political Influence, and Theft of Sensitive U.S. Technology.

In an interesting article, Forbes outlines a number of Chinese black operations. With black operations comes, sleeper cells, safe houses, and spys..... the stuff spy movies are made of. Sexy stuff huh?

FORBES

Overseas Falun Gong practitioners are, for example, leading an underground campaign to hack China's Internet firewalls to counter the Chinese Communist Party's news blackout and propaganda in the Middle Kingdom. But there are many skirmishes between Chinese communism and Chinese spiritualism taking place on U.S. soil.

Last year, however, Falun Gong practitioners worldwide were themselves barraged with harassing phone calls, including death threats. Some of these campaigns involved hours of continuous and simultaneous ringing of work and home phones and private cell phones.

A few days before the July 1999 crackdown in China, Falun Gong Web sites in Canada and the U.S. began to crash. According to Ethan Gutmann, author of Losing the New China, a Falun Gong practitioner in Washington traced the "denial of service" hacker attacks through an Asia-Pacific Internet registry, to No. 14 East Chang'an Street, Beijing, where China's Ministry of Public Security is located.

The Chinese government's persecution of Falun Gong followers is allegedly run by the notorious Office 6-10, a specially created unit that has overseen a terror campaign, which survivors say includes mass arrests, imprisonment in labor camps, brainwashing, torture and, in some cases, murder, for all those who failed to renounce their allegiance to Falun Gong.

Chinese Hackers Continue to Slam National Defense Networks?

A recent report outlines the continued aggression of Chinese Intelligence and the Chinese Military. Remember, you don't step outside of China's firewall with government approval. Could these attacks be connected to Chinese Intelligence, the Chinese Military...or both.

New Scotsman.com

MINISTRY of Defence computer networks have been repeatedly penetrated by hackers, raising fears that sensitive military information could have been obtained by foreign powers.

The ministry was unable to say where the attacks originated, but Western security officials are increasingly concerned that China is using hackers to target sensitive information.

Sophos, an internet security consultancy, estimates that China accounts for 30 per cent of all "malware" programs designed to infiltrate networks covertly.

Since 2005, the Pentagon and other US defence agencies have faced repeated hacking attempts blamed on the Chinese military, a series of attacks codenamed Titan Rain.

Whitehall counter-espionage officials say that there is also evidence of Chinese state-sponsored hackers targeting British networks in recent years.

Falun Gong pay for Chinese Military

In a recent report by the honorable David Kilgour, Canadian Secretary of State, there is clear indication that the Chinese Military is using profits from harvested Falun Gong organs to supplement it's bulging budget.

Kilgour has also suggested the International Olympic Committee (OIC) leverage China to discontinue their attack on the Falun Gong and the organ harvesting practice. And he warns... thousands of people will show up at the Beijing Olympics wearing badges saying "stop persecuting Falun Gong" or "stop organ snatching." Does anyone expect China to listen to the OIC?

You know what that means right? Thousands of people wearing egg a la face pins. What a sight, people with anti-China pins, reeking of free speech, advertised at every Olympic event, on every news network and in thousands of international homes. The CHICOM's will be rushing to fix the problem. What will they do? Take the pins, remove them forcefully from patrons?

Ah, perhaps countries ought to warn travelers the risk of having their liver cut out...unwillingly.

The EPOCH Times

"We believe that there has been and continues today to be large-scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners," conclude the Canadian authors of a groundbreaking report on organ harvesting in China, in its revised version introduced in Ottawa on Jan. 31.

The new report sheds light on the state of health and military financing in China. Both rely on money made from illegal organ transplants to make up for budget shortfalls, says the report.

The Olympics should be used "as a lever to get [Chinese authorities] to stop this terrible practice," Kilgour told The Epoch Times."The reason it is happening is that we have a totalitarian government combined with what I call 'carnivore capitalism' where anything goes, and it shouldn't surprise people to know that this unimaginable practice is happening," he said.

Kilgour believes the International Olympic Committee should "start to make some very stiff demands on China," starting with stopping organ harvesting immediately. He added that if the organ harvesting does not stop, thousands and thousands of people will arrive in Beijing in 2008 with badges saying "stop persecuting Falun Gong" or "stop organ snatching."

"Their reputation will be in complete disgrace."

Who goes where Hu goes?

I'll tell ya who goes where Hu goes... the Falun Gong. Wherever you find HU, you'll find the Falun Gong. Never afraid of a fight, never afraid to tell their story. Wherever you find the CCP, you'll will find the Falun Gong, brave and challenging the Chinese Communist party. I imagine, such behavior is a great risk to their person. What's interesting is the Falun Gong seem to have mobilized several other groups. People now believe they can and should speak out to the horrors of the Chinese Communist Party, where killing prisoners and cutting out their organs is an admitted practice.

What's worse, China appears to be exporting their brand of business. Ever hear of a Chinese sweat shops? Horrible to us, normal to Communist China. Well, it turns out China has no export controls on these most sensitive of Chinese practices. And what better way to hide your slave labor than to export it to Africa...tuck it away... Shessshhh!!!

MEN'S NEWS DAILY.COM

Reaction to President Hu’s visit to Namibia is not all positive. The National Society for Human Rights has some harsh words for Chinese policies at home and abroad.

“President Hu’s visit to Namibia is best remembered by us as a human rights group with regard to human rights violations in China. That is torture and ill treatment, as well as persecution of people like Falun Gong practitioners. Another thing, of course, that comes to our minds is the occupation of Tibet. We are reading reports from Tibetan human rights groups that about 1.2 million have fled the country and that includes Dalai Lama, the respected spiritual leader,” he says.

Upon visiting African countries, President Hu often announces aid or investment packages worth millions of US dollars. Nevertheless, the human rights leader says, “That is probably so. (But) the results are not seen on the ground. This is based on the complaints, daily complaints, by Namibian workers (about) slave like practices and exploitative labor practices.”

He says Chinese business people are competing with local business owners on the micro-credit level.

Ya Nangoloh says he fears a rise in xenophobia in Namibia against the Chinese that could lead to violence.

Chinese Corruption and Collapse

Chinese Corruption and Collapse

China's banking system is in a sad state of affairs. After years of high dollar rolling for their military build-up, Chinese banking and financial infrastructure, largely state owned, is on the verge of burning up. Plagued by massive corruption, greed, and narrow sightedness, the government has failed to understand the basic principals of new world finance. Then again, no one ever said it was easy to teach an old communist dog, a new democratic trick. It's hard to be a forward thinker when a line item on your annual budget is labeled: organs cut out of prisoners and sold. Ya, it's in the black too.

SEEKING ALPHA

The Inevitable Collapse of China's Banks

Chinese megabanks aren't even banks -- at least not the way we understand them. Carved out of the old Communist banking system just over 10 years ago, the state-owned banks' role has been to bankroll the government's massive infrastructure projects and to keep otherwise bankrupt state-owned enterprises [SOEs] afloat. As arms of the Communist government, Chinese banks have had no incentive to learn the disciplines of basic banking. Conversely, loan applicants never had to cobble together a business plan to get a loan -- or suffer the negative consequences of failure.

That's why it's no surprise that Chinese state-owned banks are a commercial disaster. The Chinese government has pumped over $434 billion to bail them out -- just since 1998. That's more than the GDP of banking giant Switzerland

Peek behind the Wizard of Oz's (or Shanghai's) curtain, and you'll see that China's double-digit percentage growth rates are an economic sleight of hand that have come at a price of escalating bad debt and non-performing loans. At the end of 2004, bank debt in China stood at $3.7 trillion -- about twice the size of its GDP. That's the highest proportion of any economy in the world. And that debt is lent almost entirely by state-owned banks -- and over half of it by the Big Four. Today, Chinese state-owned enterprises [SOEs] owe banks over $2 trillion -- about the size of the entire Chinese economy. And the amount of outstanding loans is growing by $500 billion each year.

Throw in China's cheap labor and you see why the Chinese are selling Honda knock-off motorcycles at the price of their weight in scrap metal in Vietnam. This may lead to impressive rates of "top-line" economic growth in the medium term. But it also leads to the kind of massive misallocation of resources that eventually brought the Soviet Empire to its knees.

This makes the coming collapse of Chinese banks inevitable. And it won't be the first time it will have happened. In the Asian crisis of 1997, two Guandong banks went belly up -- exposing the massive non-performing loans given to the Chinese red chips floated in Hong Kong.

Indeed, when Ernst & Young suggested in 2005 that banks' bad debts in China might amount to as much as $911 billion, the Chinese government quickly suppressed the report. That should be no surprise. Repressing the truth is what Communist governments are best at. But the next time you hear about China's $1 trillion of foreign reserves, remember that this world record stash is barely enough to pay off its bad banking debts. And with cheap loans financing a big chunk of China's 10%+ annual economic expansion, bad debts may approach $2 trillion before the bubble bursts.

Think of the Chinese economy like the bus in the movie "Speed." The Chinese economy is like the bus that has been rigged with explosives. If its speed drops to below 50 mph, it will explode. The Chinese authorities' challenge is to keep the bus going above 50 mph until the bomb can be (somehow) defused. If economic growth does slow, SOEs won't be able to service their debts and the entire banking system will collapse on itself. And even $1 trillion won't be enough to save it.

Here's what's worrisome. The Chinese bus will eventually run out of gas. And the Chinese economy plays a much bigger role in the global economy than it did during the Asian Crisis of 1997. China's troubles will have a much greater impact on the U.S. economy than the collapse of the Soviet Union -- an economy that accounted for less than 1% of U.S. trade in 1991.

Is Chinese Intelligence Intelligent?

Come on now. Who conducts an ASAT test, blows billions of bits of material into a satellite debilitating debris field, and then says: we are peaceful and did not mean to harm relations. That's like the kid with his hand in the cookie jar who says: I was not going to eat any of these cookies, only inspect them for defects. Pleeeaase!

Times Recorder Zanesville, OH

Just as everyone is watching Iran and North Korea, China is quietly, but rapidly, developing its anti-satellite (ASAT) capability to shoot down U.S. satellites.

This is the other face of China, the hard power side that they usually keep well hidden," says Chong-Pin Lin, an expert on China's military in Taiwan and the author of China's Nuclear Weapons Strategy, "they talk more about peace and diplomacy, but the push to develop lethal, high-tech capabilities has not slowed down at all."

"This is a wake-up call," warns Robert Joseph, the under secretary of state for arms control and international security, that China is "pursuing capabilities to exploit our vulnerabilities." The question is: how should the United States respond to such worrisome Chinese moves?

Chinese Attack: Is this the work of Chinese Intelligence?

What's really going on here? The average Chinese citizen cannot move about the Internet without strict monitoring. Anyone attempting to hack from within China will immediately catch the attention of the CHICOM's great Firewall. Yet, we see unrelenting cyber attacks on sensitive U.S. computer systems. How could this be? The AVERAGE citizen is restricted from such activities, but those granted permission to attack the U.S. are given free access. Who can grant a person or group access around the firewall? Who has the ability to get around the firewall? The CCP of course....the question is: who in the Chinese government is behind the well planned and directed attack: Chinese Military, Chinese Intelligence, Chinese Cyber Army?????

APPSENSE SECURITY

The cyber attacks on the Critical National Infrastructures of the US and UK, originating from inside China have hit the headlines again. This time they appear to be targeted against one specific agency within the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The BIS is involved in the regulation of the export of sensitive goods and technologies as well as enforcing export control and anti-boycott laws. The targeting of this organization is in some ways not surprising, it is responsible for the prevention of the exportation of military technology to China.

The exact method used for this attack has not been publicised, but there have been strong suggestions that this involved carefully researched e-mails and possibly Trojans. This involved the Chinese group sending e-mails apparently from internal e-mail address to various government employees. The subject and content of these mails were deliberately chosen. The careful research mentioned above allowed the mails to be targeted in such a way that the victim would be more inclined to trust the mail and any attachment to it.

The same method of researched e-mails would also work if malicious websites were being used to exploit some vulnerability in Internet Explorer, as was seen recently with the VML based exploitation. There have been reports of Web sites registered on Chinese Internet service providers hosting malware with Rootkit capabilities. It is likely that this is true as the BSI has admitted that they are not attempting to repair any computers perceived to be infected. Instead wholly new machines are being used to replace these.

This is the latest in a long line of attempts to spy on other areas of the Government and infrastructure which were traced back to China. The, so called, Titan Rain attacks used some similar techniques as did the attack on the United Kingdom government at the start of 2006. This one used the, at the time, unpatched vulnerability in WMF rendering. This involved e-mails containing information apparently about a secret rendezvous being sent to around 70 members of the UK parliament as well as other staff in the British Government.


The levels of complexity and preparation involved in these attacks may mean they are the first things to warrant the, massively over hyped, name of cyber warfare.

Chinese in Space....

China goes back to space just weeks after catching the world by surprise with a SAT killing maneuver. The so called ASAT mission left a huge debris field and worse, according the the Japanese, violated international law. Although billed as a "friendly" GPS satellite, the new space monkey undoubtedly has Military applications...giving China another foot into the Space Battlefield. America and the world sleep....

China successfully put a navigation satellite into orbit early Saturday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The carrier rocket, Long March 3-A, blasted off at 0:28 a.m. ( Beijing Time). The satellite separated from the rocket about 24 minutes later. Data from the Xi'an satellite monitoring center showed that the satellite had accurately entered its orbit.

Experts said the Beidou satellite navigation experimental system is operating well and has played a significant role in cartography, telecommunications, water conservation, transportation, fishery, prospecting, forest fire monitoring and national security.

Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1)

It is China’s first space-based regional navigation and positioning network. The system provides all-weather, two-dimensional positioning data for both military and civilian users.

New Scientist.com

But things appear to have changed in Beijing. On 2 November, the country's official news agency Xinhua reported that Beidou would, from 2008, begin providing an "open" level of service, with 10-metre accuracy, in addition to its "authorised", encrypted military service.

Chinese ASAT is UNSAT

Although slow, the U.S. official reaction to China's SAT killing adventure is finally showing sings of having a backbone. Surprisingly, few other nations took exception to the test.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
February 2, 2007

The Bush administration has suspended plans to develop space ventures with China, including joint exploration of the moon, in reaction to Beijing's Jan. 11 test of an anti-satellite weapon that left orbiting debris threatening U.S. and foreign satellites.

Robert Joseph, undersecretary of state for arms control and the administration's point man for space security policy, said yesterday that the space weapons test was a shock. It shows space is a "contested environment" and that "countries are developing capabilities to put at risk our assets for which we are dependent," he said.

Also, the space arms test should be viewed in the context of China's large-scale buildup of both strategic and conventional forces, not just their space weapons, he said.

"We're now stuck with hundreds of pieces of this Chinese satellite for a hundred years, and it's having an impact on the entire global commons," she said, noting that there needs to be "common norms and acceptable rules of behavior in space."

U.S. intelligence officials said China has sought to obtain U.S. military space technology through espionage and other covert means but has been curbed by U.S. security measures. "They've had trouble getting it through the back door so they decided to come in through the front," a defense official said.

Among the technologies sought by the Chinese are dual-use civilian and military goods used in maneuvering spacecraft, including propulsion and battery know-how, which have applications for anti-satellite guidance systems, the defense official said.

Another Chinese Massacre:1997

There are no words to express how outstandingly horrible a communist government can be, China is at the top of that list!

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: Feb 2007 (remembers the past)

On 5 February 1997, dozens of people were killed or seriously injured when the Chinese security forces brutally broke up a peaceful demonstration in the city of Gulja (Yining) in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China. Hundreds, possibly thousands, lost their lives or were seriously injured in the unrest that occurred the following day. Large numbers of people were arrested during the demonstrations and their aftermath. Many detainees were beaten or otherwise tortured. An unknown number remain unaccounted for.

I arrived in Gulja City in the morning of 7 or 8 February, and went to the home of a Uighur friend of mine. In the afternoon my friend took me to the home of another Uighur family whose two sons had been killed during the Chinese military crackdown on the peaceful protestors in Gulja a couple of days earlier.

I was trying to talk with them, the Ili Prefectural Police and Chinese Military officers and soldiers burst into the house. The soldiers pulled the parents by the hair and kicked them really hard. The top military officer ordered me to put my hands on my head and to face the wall and said, "if you resist or shout and scream, we will shoot you." It was clear that it was the Chinese military officer in command, not the prefectural police, who didn't dare say anything in front of him. They forced me to strip completely naked and searched all my clothes.

....Despite her concern that I was being followed she gave me some tea and spoke to me about the demonstration and the crackdown. She said she had seen numerous Chinese military trucks piled high with dead or beaten Uighurs going into the local Yengi Hayat Prison but had not seen people leaving. She said she was certain that nearly 1000 Uighurs had been taken into the prison, but that the prison could only accommodate 500 prisoners. Furthermore, she said she saw many military trucks leaving the prison that were filled with dirt. Many others I spoke with had also witnessed this. Many suspected that dead bodies were buried in the dirt and were being taken out to be disposed of.

While at his home, the Ili Prefectural Police broke in and detained me for a second time, again taking me back to the police station. I learned later that this gentleman was subsequently arrested and sentenced to two years in prison for passing "state secrets" to me. When he was released two years later he had had a mental breakdown.

In one part dozens of military dogs were attacking – lunging and biting at, peaceful demonstrators, including women and children. Chinese PLA soldiers were bludgeoning the demonstrators – thrashing at their legs until they buckled and fell to the ground. Those on the ground – some alive, others dead, were then dragged across the ground and dumped all together into dozens of army trucks.

...a young Uighur girl screaming, "Semetjan", then running to a young man who was bleeding and being dragged by a Chinese soldier to a truck. Another soldier knocked her down and shot her dead right on the spot. He then dragged her by the hair and dumped her into the same truck into which the young man had been thrown. In another part of the film gunshots were fired into a group of Uighur children, aged 5 to 6, who were with a woman holding a baby, all were shot. It wasn’t clear where the guns were being fired from, whether from a rooftop or truck-top. There were tanks in the street, and in the film one could see three kinds of PLA soldiers: those with a helmet, baton, and shield; those with automatic weapons; and those with rifles with bayonets. In the film I heard Chinese soldiers shouting, "kill them!, kill them!" I heard one officer shouting to a soldier, "Is he a Uighur or Chinese? Don’t touch the Chinese but kill the Uighur."

HU's Sleeping With Fidel?

Want to see HU's been sleeping with the Cuban cut throat? There's a good article at the Jamestown Foundation you should check out. I should warn you though, like any good sexed up novel, it's borders on being a scandal.

THE JAMESTOWN FOUNDATION

Most important for China, Cuba is believed to have the world’s third largest nickel reserves and Beijing is pumping $500 million into doubling the island’s annual production

A related issue is Chinese involvement with Cuban military and intelligence.

....“we need to be alert to rapidly advancing Chinese capabilities, particularly in the fields of intelligence, communications and cyber-warfare, and their possible application in the region” (Congressional testimony, April 6, 2005).

A number one priority has been personnel and defense technologies for Cuba’s Air and Air Defense Forces (DAAFAR), since it might someday have to repel a U.S. invasion, the “mirror” on Taiwan. Among those trained in China and working with the Chinese is DAAFAR chief Pedro Mendiondo Gomez, an expert in air defense.

China's Covert Space Force

While China pollutes the U.S. political system, blinds U.S. satellites with laser, stalks the U.S. fleet and uses the tools of unrestricted warfare (front companies, economic attack, etc.) they have also been busy building a cover "Space Force". No doubt this is driven by the PLA who's open policy is to attack the U.S.

AIRFORCE TIMES

China’s direct-ascent anti-satellite missile is the latest test to prove counter-space capabilities. Last year, senior U.S. officials said China had attempted to use lasers to blind American satellites.

“We have three books and several dozen articles from China that go back 10 years, all of which advocate all types of anti-satellite weapons and they have a consistent theme — they have to be deployed covertly so that in a crisis with America, China can shoot down some satellites as a deterrent message,” Pillsbury said.

“These documents advocate multiple approaches to preemptive strikes on satellites from plasma clouds, pellets, directed-energy weapons, orbiting spacecraft and attacking ground stations with special forces,” he said.

A Burger For China

One thing is for certain, China understands massive corruption and they were willing to import the grotesque practice to the highest levels of the U.S. government. From front companies, tobribery, China plays nothing short of high stakes hard-ball. Their presence as a military power has come at the loss of U.S. technology and the exploitation of U.S. sensitive enterprises.

Berger's China work makes archive heist look tame

Two weeks back, the Chinese military shocked America by shooting one of China's aging satellites out of the sky with a ground-based missile. Old as the satellite may have been, it was still up 500 miles in space. This was a scarily impressive bit of saber rattling.
As it happens, no American played a greater role in the success of that shoot-down than the much-discussed chairman and founder of Stonebridge International, Samuel "Sandy" Berger.

In February 1996, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was dispatched to New York to pick up checks from Schwartz in person. It was the president's way of signaling his obeisance. For all his failings, it disgusted Brown that Clinton had turned him into little more than a "bagman."

Schwartz did not make his donations in an informational vacuum. According to the New York Times, "February 1996" represented a moment of keen impasse between warring forces within the Clinton administration. With his generous support, Schwartz surely was hoping to breach the enemy's defenses.

The enemy in this case was his own Pentagon and intelligence community. Much to Schwartz's frustration, they were standing firm on the question of commercial satellites.

Given the vital technology contained therein, much of it secret, they had convinced Secretary of State Warren Christopher in October 1995 to keep the satellites on the so-called ''munitions list,'' an inventory of the nation's most sensitive military and intelligence-gathering equipment.

The president also faced strong resistance from the genuine liberals within the administration. In the margin of a December 1995 document, for example, senior adviser George Stephanopoulos scrawled a vulgar note strongly criticizing the president's China policy.

Soon after he returned from his New York rendezvous with Schwartz, Brown learned he would be meeting – by order of the White House – with a character by the name of Wang Jun. The sheer bravado of Wang Jun's petition and the brazenness of the Clintons in welcoming him leave one awestruck.

Wang Jun chaired Poly Technologies, a company controlled by the People's Liberation Army. According to a Rand Corporation report forced from the U.S. Department of Commerce by a federal lawsuit, one of Poly Technologies' profit centers was the "importation and distribution of semi-automatic rifles for the U.S. domestic market."

Between 1987 and 1993, the company and its affiliates sold more than $200 million worth of these guns in the United States. When Clinton piously signed into law the banning of certain semi-automatic weapons in 1994, Poly Technologies only profited. They exploited export loopholes to circumvent the ban and ultimately resorted to old-fashioned smuggling.
On the day of the Wang meeting, Feb. 6, 1996, Brown did not know about Wang Jun's arms trade. Brown only knew the meeting was to be about satellite export controls.

This makes sense as Wang also owned a huge stake in a Hong Kong satellite company. Brown's task was to assure the Chinese that America intended to be a most friendly trading partner, and if Wang ever had any problems dealing with the United States, he could call Brown directly at anytime.

Brown had little choice in the matter. Later that afternoon, the White House also insisted that he join Wang at an intimate "coffee" with President Clinton. It was an only-in-America kind of moment. Wang Jun, who had cut arms deals with Chinese allies in places like Libya, Iran, Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan, now found himself at a cordial private coffee with – of all people – the president of the United States.

This friendly meeting occurred less than four years after Clinton had excoriated the first President Bush for "coddling tyrants" in Beijing and conducting "business as usual with those who murdered freedom at Tiananmen Square." No matter.

Clinton pal Charlie Trie had greased the Wang Jun meeting with a $50,000 payment. To the president's humble credit, as the Thompson Committee would later report, he did admit that the meeting with the PLA arms dealer, Wang, was "clearly inappropriate."

The president did not apologize, however, for signing waivers for four more satellite launches by Chinese rockets on that same February day. The president approved these waivers despite reports the month before that China continued to export nuclear technology to Pakistan and missiles to Iran, the latter deal Wang was suspected of brokering.

Just a week or so after Wang Jun's excellent Washington adventure, a Chinese Long March 3B rocket carrying the Loral-built Intelsat 708 satellite crashed just after liftoff and killed or injured at least 60 people in a nearby village. This was the third Long March failure in the last three years involving U.S.-built satellite payloads.

The Pentagon welcomed the news of the Chinese failure. With the collapse of the Soviets, the People's Republic had emerged as America's most serious potential enemy, and its leaders weren't afraid to say so.

Just a few months earlier, in fact, a Chinese Military officer had warned American Ambassador Chas Freeman, "If you hit us now, we can hit back. So you will not make those threats [about Taiwan]." The officer then proffered the following not so cryptic caveat: "In the end you care more about Los Angeles than you do about Taipei."

American technical advice was making these Chinese boasts more than an empty threat. And yet in their relentless drive to raise money, the Clintons were fully prepared to broker that advice. In March 1996, Berger pressed on and managed to finesse a compromise that sent satellite control to Brown at Commerce and cost the Pentagon its veto power.

Feeling confident about his relationship with the president, Schwartz up and dispatched a Loral-led review team to China to assess the February 1996 failure of the Long March 3B rocket and suggest refinements.

The Cox Committee would later describe Schwartz's actions as "an unlicensed defense service for the PRC that resulted in the improvement of the reliability of the PRC's military rockets and ballistic missiles."

So serious was the offense that in 1998 the Criminal Division of the Justice Department launched an investigation. Incredibly, while the investigation was in process, Berger, now national security adviser, sent a memo to the president urging him to "waive the legislative restriction on the export to China of the communications satellites and related equipment for the Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) Chinasat 8 project."

This waiver would present a huge problem for the prosecution. Berger admitted as much: "Justice believes that a jury would not convict once it learned that the president had found SS/L's Chinasat 8 project to be in the national interest."

But Berger was not about to let that stop him: "We will take the firm position that this waiver does not exonerate or in any way prejudge SS/L with respect to its prior unauthorized transfers to China." Berger was blowing smoke, and he knew it. A waiver would make prosecution all but impossible.

The president could only issue a waiver, however, if it served America's "national interest." Berger made an almost comically specious case that it did, arguing satellite technology would give remote Chinese villagers access "to people and ideas in democratic societies." During these misbegotten years, one trembles at what the villagers might have learned about American democracy.

So much for the national interest. Ross then added the kicker, sure to win the president's heart. "Bernard Schwartz had intended to raise this issue with you at the Blair dinner, but missed you in the crowd." Schwartz knew he had a friend in the White House. The president approved the waiver, and the prosecution came to naught.

This story merits its own book, but what deserves immediate comment is the willingness of Berger and the Clintons to risk everything to keep the cash pipeline open. In his purloining of the National Archives, Berger risked everything once again. He and the Clintons have apparently come to take the major media's complicity for granted.

As for Schwartz, he kept the cash pipeline open and full. Before he was through, Schwartz and Loral would donate roughly $2 million to the Clinton cause. Whether Schwartz gave additional money or favors off the books is a question that deserves asking. Before his untimely death in April 1996, Brown was reporting that he had.

Wang Jun ran into problems of his own when on May 23, 1996, CNN breathlessly reported "the largest seizure of smuggled automatic weapons in U.S. history." The San Francisco Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms had infiltrated a smuggling ring and confiscated 2,000 fully automatic AK-47 rifles imported from China.

The weapons were found on board a COSCO ship, the enterprise that had been trying to secure the Long Beach Naval Station. CNN traced the rifles to Wang's Poly Technologies.

Wang, however, had not wasted his investment. Someone in the know did the arms merchant a large favor by leaking the news of the BATF gun-smuggling investigation well before it was wrapped up. The Bay-area bust was premature. The BATF was not able to nail the operation's ringleaders. Like Sandy Berger himself, Wang Jun was freed up for further mischief.
We may never know what Berger stole from the National Archives or how much damage he did to the nation's battle against Islamic terrorists.

It is hard to imagine, though, that China would have developed the capacity to shoot satellites out of the sky – certainly not this quickly – without the help of its good friends in the White House. At the end of the day, this betrayal will make for an anxiety of much greater magnitude.
