IN-DEPTH: US Starts Dismantling the CCP’s Overseas ‘Mafia’ Apparatus

By Eva Fu May 10, 2023

Yu Jing, who escaped China after being persecuted for her faith, did not expect that she would feel her freedom threatened in her newfound home.  Once an official with the state-run China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau in communist China, Yu lost her job and was subjected to three arrests and two house raids for her faith in Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa.   The spiritual practice involves a set of moral teachings with truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance as its core principles, as well as five meditative exercises. By 1999, an estimated 70 million to 100 million people were practicing in mainland China. Viewing the practice’s popularity as a threat to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) power, then-leader Jiang Zemin ordered a brutal nationwide campaign of suppression that continues today.............“Never would I imagine that in a free society like the United States, these pro-Chinese Communist Party agents could be so out of control,” she told The Epoch Times, recalling her shock at the time.  Many in the overseas Chinese dissident community have long known such pro-Beijing protesters to be organized by local groups closely tied to the CCP.  A federal indictment last month confirmed this connection..........To Read More......

FBI Arrests 2 Over Secret Chinese Police Station in NYC - By Andrew Thornebrooke and Eva Fu April 17, 2023Updated: April 24, 2023 - The FBI arrested two people on April 17 on charges of operating a secret police station in New York City on behalf of China’s regime, according to the Justice Department (DOJ). The duo, Lu Jianwang, 61, and Chen Jinping, 59, conspired to work as agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and took orders from the regime in order to track down and silence Chinese dissidents living in the United States, prosecutors said. The police station is believed to be one of more than 100 overseas stations operated by the Chinese regime in 53 countries, according to Safeguard Defenders, a Spain-based nonprofit.  The effort revealed an immense violation of U.S. sovereignty by the CCP and a flagrant violation of international law, according to U.S. District Attorney Breon Peace...........

A Wisconsin school charges three 8th-graders with sexual harassment

By Andrea Widburg 

The Kiel Area School District (KASD), a small district in Wisconsin, made national news on Friday for a very bad reason: the middle school filed a Title IX sexual harassment claim against three eighth-graders for the "crime" of refusing to use the "they/them" pronouns that one of their classmates demanded.*

Before going farther, let me make my position clear: there have always been people who wished they were members of the opposite sex.  The more extreme ones claimed that they were, in fact, members of the opposite sex.  Up until recently, it was understood that people in this second category were mentally ill with a syndrome called "body dysphoria."  Another form of this mental illness is anorexia, which sees a healthy person insist that she is morbidly obese.  We do not put people with anorexia on diets.

Unfortunately, because the lunatics have taken over the asylum, we now have a societal insistence that we accept as true that people with body dysphoria tied to their sexual identity are correct rather than mentally ill.  There's no evidence that this is true.  

However, a massive, money-sucking, power-hungry industry has grown up around so-called transgenderism, with schools, clinics, hospitals, therapists, surgeons and of course Planned Parenthood, dedicated to convincing children that flights of fantasy or longings or the normal discomfort of puberty mean they were born in the wrong body — and then assuring them that they can remedy this situation through hormones, surgery, and forcing people to recognize their imaginary "gender" by honoring "their pronouns."...............

The only quibble I have with the letter is that it fails to identify by name the music teacher who started this whole process.  Everyone involved in leftist bullying needs to be named and sued.........For reasons that are not entirely clear, the elementary school principal, Chad Ramminger, was the moving force behind this initiative.  He boasts in the "principal's message" that "we are first and foremost about kids."........To Read More....
