It is interesting that they know there is exactly 6,000 in this camp but do=
n't name names.
I also like how you sent out an article from a CIA front group.
And not one pice of evidence that proves this is anything other than a jail=
. Let's see some photos of the chimneys piping with falun-gong body smoke. =
How long does it take to kill 6,000?
Don't send me anti-China crap ever again. Take me off this fucking list.
I have requested to be removed 5 times. I have even manually unsubcribed, y=
et I still somehow end up recieving e-mails.
This is the last fucking warning I will send; I will take action after this.

>=20
> Gregory had two statements. First on Friday outside the PRC (People's

>=20

>=20
> Kusumi had two statements. The first, on Tuesday, was prior to news of the
> Sujiatun death camp. The Tuesday article was an analysis of the opening of
> China's National People's Congress. Kusumi observed that the CCP was

> politics with a crucial issue in China: the safety of coal miners. He
> recommended, "China should cancel its military buildup and spend that mon=
ey
> on fixing its mines." He also lamented that the CCP's spending priorities
> were the opposite, saying, "in the values of the Communist Party, it is m=
ore

a's

ng

> Protection movement; and by invoking the memory of Sun Yat-sen, a
> pre-communist Chinese leader who spoke of government "of the people, by t=
he
> people, and for the people."
>=20
> Kusumi's second statement, on Friday, was upon news of the Sujiatun death

ina

> 'Never again!'" Accordingly, he called for international inspection of th=
at

> treatment extended by the U.S. Congress in 2000). He also said that it wo=
uld

>=20
> Cooper's statement came at the Lincoln Memorial's Sunday rally, that was

> described these as "the best of times and the worst of times for our glob=
al
> movement to bring democracy=97and nothing but democracy=97to the disposse=

ese
> conscience, and the nine million withdrawals, on one hand, with responding

ted

>=20
> On the news of Sujiatun, Cooper applied the term genocide, and said, "This
> is a whole new level of depravity practiced by the CCP." He said, "America
> must not fail to act. [America must] use the full measure of its political

ng

> investigate. And finally, we call on the UN High Commissioner for Human
> Rights, Ms. Louise Arbour, and her agents to make immediate inquiries of =
the

>=20
> This was a heated speech of full battle cry against the CCP.
>=20

in

n.
> They are not the actions of a secure regime, but of a regime well aware it

."
>=20
> About isolating Communist China, he said, "That means an end to Permanent

>=20
> He also spoke against the Olympic games going to Beijing, and was clear a=
nd

> desperate flailings of a dying regime." With killing underway, he conclud=
ed,
> "Thus let us add not anger, but urgency to our mission; let us not despai=
