so in other words, Falungong does have an agenda and its members don't declare their affiliation, as your two posts indicate.
Look, I support Falungong's attacks on the Chinese government, I just wish they were open about their activities. Running a global tv network and a global newspaper sound to me like you have more on your minds than "just practising our meditation in peace".
I am disturbed by the way an organization of such enormous resources can define itself so completely in terms of its persecution by the Chinese government. Such a definition conceales Falungong's pursuit of its own political and Chinese cultural agenda. How does this global tv "gala" fit within Falungong's project, for example, of "just practising our meditation in peace"?
To be honest, if Falungong is just mediation, then Scientology is just psychotherapy.
