Thursday, October 1, 2020 Dear Reader, IMAGINE HAVING TO CARRY A GOVERNMENT-ISSUED ID that tells police your faith (and other personal details) any time you are within 30 meters of them. This is a reality faced by people who practice Falun Gong in China, and recently the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, has launched a new "Zero Out" campaign to update these blacklists and force everyone to renounce Falun Gong. An important piece in this newsletter explores this new campaign. Also in this newsletter, we share with you a new short film and two reports covering the harrowing reality that continues inside China for Falun Gong. And finally, we present a new book from an award-winning filmmaker who reveals the dark and twisted world of CCP officials, including those who fled China because they refused to persecute Falun Gong. The book may offer important insights for anyone who deals with CCP officials. Sincerely, Levi Browde, Executive Director Falun Dafa Information Center INSIDE CHINA New Intimidation and Bribery Campaign Seeks to Wipe Out Falun Gong Someone who practices Falun Gong had to go into hiding due to a new method of society-led repression by the Chinese regime.

The regime seeks to achieve "zero" believers in their communities. Cash incentives are offered to anyone who can turn in someone making flyers, handing out CDs or books, or hanging banners with words from Falun Gong such as "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance Is Good." Falun Gong is only one of the belief systems targeted for eradication.

Reveals the Twisted World of CCP Officials When documentary filmmaker, Kay Rubacek of Swoop Films, began interviewing former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials for her award-winning movie, Finding Courage (Swoop Films, 2020), she was shocked when they described themselves as the “Walking Dead.” As she found and interviewed more former CCP officials—including a labor camp director, a propaganda official, a criminal court judge, an army colonel, a diplomat, a national security agent, and a CCP role-model student, among others—she found that their experiences lifted the veil on the opaque world of China’s officialdom. “The world of CCP officialdom is very cruel and dark,” said the Labor Camp Director. “We had to know that propaganda and reality are disconnected,” said the Propaganda Official. “The law is only for people who are low-class—who don’t have any connections,” said the Chinese Diplomat. “You are forced to tell lies. It won’t work if you don’t tell lies. As a result, everyone becomes a liar,” said the High-Ranking Official. Read More Buy on Amazon or Barnes&Noble What is Falun Gong?
