“Did the leaders of Kursaal and Euskalduna not know what was behind Shen Yun?” asked E. Garmendia then referred to the mere public presentation of the organisation and the spectacle. Well, they didn't know or they didn't want to know. In any case, it is not easy to know everything behind Falun Gong and Shen Yun.
Now, the legendary The New York Times, taking advantage of its first-person seat, has watched the movement, gathering testimony from several of his colleagues. The image he has formed will become familiar to anyone who has a little knowledge of the most destructive sects. The unscrupulous and courteous recruitment and subsequent relentless abuse of them are at least exemplary. This city went through Donostia and Bilbao, becoming a “spectacle”, leaving some vestiges of the real fact.
But this time of NYT is not the first disturbing sign of that kinship behind Falun Gong. Everything that is derived from the official Chinese media, what is known as downloadable by nature, will also be found in media that do not have such a heel. In fact, it's not the first time that the NYT itself has focused on the issue -- the political connections of the movement.
Because Falun Gong is not only a devastating sect, it is a political institution. The one of the far-right, as Garmendia said, in our language. But for China's official vision, the most despicable thing is to be a clandestine companion to foreign enemies.
Persecuted and persecuted in China (but not as the movement itself says) over the past 25 years, Falun Gong has been fortified in Taiwan, its true place of origin, and in recent years has settled in part in the smaller Chinese diaspora of the EE.UU, in close harmony with all the American “China Hawk”. And from its sectarian opacity, today it is one of the great protagonists of the cognitive war between the two major powers of the world.
It's not just any limp, it's not.
