Falun Gong call for Olympic justice

What is Falun Gong (Falun Dafa) ＆ How did the "persecution" of Falun Gong happen in China ------ "Li claims supernatural powers, developed through training with spiritual masters in the mountains from his youth; his book, Zhuan Falun ("Turning the Law Wheel"), posits that he can treat disease more effectively than medicine, and can telekinetically implant the falun, or law wheel, into the abdomens of his followers, where it absorbs and releases power as it spins (other beliefs attributed to Li are that he can fly, that Africa has a two billion-year-old nuclear reactor, and that aliens invaded Earth about a century ago, introducing modern technology; one type, he told Time magazine, "looks like a human, but has a nose that is made of bone")." -------------------------- "Falun Gong looks, acts and smells like a cult with grandiose earthly political ambition, not to mention the interplanetary stuff. The idea that it is merely an old ladies' exercise group is disarming and disingenuous, despite the bona fide presence of followers who seek health-restoring exercise regimes. Cults thrive on pulling in political innocents who are then used as pawns in a larger political struggle." ---------------- more details at "Sinister Motives may lurk in sect" by Phillip Cunningham http://www.blythe-systems.com/pipermail/nytr/Week-of-Mon-20040607/002175.html http://www.rickross.com/reference/fa_lun_gong/falun339.html AP Article: http://www.rickross.com/reference/fa_lun_gong/falun8.html An excellent collection of articles concerning the Falun Gong: http://www.rickross.com/groups/falun.html Read above articles, then judge for yourself. USA WON GOLD 4X100 Relay Jason Lezak incredible Beijing Olympic 2008 There was no way for Jason Lezak to know how far behind he was, and no reason to try to figure it out. With 350 meters gone and 50 to go in the 4 x 100 freestyle relay, Lezak made his turn, and kept it simple. "I'm not going to lie," Lezak said. "When I flipped at the wall I thought, 'There's no way.' Then in the next instant, I was like 'No, this is the Olympics. I'm not giving up.' I got a super charge and just took it from there." It was Monday morning in the so-called Water Cube, and things had not gone particularly well for the U.S. Katie Hoff, the 19-year-old from the same North Baltimore pool that Michael Phelps came of age in, had lost a big lead in the 400-meter freestyle, and wound up with silver. Brendan Hansen, world record-holder in the 100 breast, lost both his record and a medal, coming in fourth. There was a time that the 4 x 100 freestyle relay was as much of a lock for the U.S. as a basketball gold. The first seven times it was contested, the Americans won it. So imagine how much of a jolt it was when the U.S. was stunned by Australia in Sydney in 2000, and fell to the bronze in Athens. "I think I wanted it more than anybody, not just for myself, but to show that we are the nation to be beat in that relay," he said. The only trouble was that France was not cooperating. The indefatigable Phelps swam an American-record 47.51 in the first leg, even as Australia's Eamon Sullivan was swimming a world record (47.24). Garrett Weber-Gale, in the second leg, got the lead back with a superb swim before Cullen Jones, who learned to swim at a YMCA pool in Newark, dove in.

No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain. ________________________________________ ______ El pesista húngaro Janos Baranyai se dislocó el codo derecho el miércoles mientras competía en la división de los 77 kilos en los Juegos Olímpicos.
