Columbia University Chinese Students Association (CUCSSA) Serves as Base for Chinese Communist Spies

As detailed in the latest ET report, Chinese student organizations, especially CUCSSA at Columbia University, serve as bases for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for spying on the United States and influencing and intimidating those who hold views that oppose it. From the article:

"From July 2 to 8, the FBI put ads in three Chinese San Francisco papers: China Press, Singdao Daily and World Daily. The ads sought assistance from members of the Chinese community to provide any information related to actions that could prove to be potentially dangerous to U.S. national security; the ads especially welcomed information regarding China's National Security Bureau."

"Dozens of former CSSA chairs and main contact persons openly testified that the CCP Embassies and Consulates manipulated and used CSSAs in various universities to conduct "illegal activities" beyond the scope of their normal diplomatic businesses.

"Among them, the Columbia University Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CUCSSA) is the core of the CCP CSSA spy organization. Two of the three CUCSSA advisors are Chinese Consulate officials. The heads of the CUCSSA not only directly follow orders from the Chinese Consulate, but also get fixed incomes from the Consulate, have regular meetings at the Consulate, and implement the CCP's policies outside of China. These people act as agents for the CCP without registering with the U.S. Government, hence have already violated U.S. law."

"A source disclosed to The Epoch Times that the CUCSSA has always been a focal point for the CCP's force development overseas. It is the CCP's most competent tool in conducting "illegal activities" beyond the normal consulate business scope. The CUCSSA takes on important political tasks, including monitoring famous human rights activist Wei Jingsheng when he was studying at the Columbia University. Now it is focusing on attacking and slandering Falun Gong."

"...the CUCSSA periodically holds meetings at the Chinese Consulate, including important student association meetings. Large student association events enjoyed complete funding from the Chinese consulate..."

Columbia University Chinese student's club threatens violence

This is really, really irate. In response to an organ harvesting forum organized by the Falun Gong club, the Columbia University mainland Chinese student's club threatened violence to disrupt the forum.

Some quotes from the insanely hate-stirring e-mail sent out to the students by the Chinese student's club:

"It's guessed that they may use the reason that CUCSSA's leader does not follow the meeting's rule to ask security to remove him/her. That may entail inevitable body contact…

"We will use the sea of flags dyed by blood, to beat the *** high spirit..."

This refers to Falun Gong, the meditation practice that was outlawed in mainland China by the Chinese Communist Party in 1999.

One of the speakers at the forum, Dr. David Matas, was one of the authors of the organ harvesting report.

20 Million People Quit the CCP

The Epoch Times is reporting that 20 million people have quit the CCP. This brings the CCP to its knees; close to 1/3 of the CCP's active members have quit the party.

"The Service Centers for Quitting the Chinese Communist Party in many cities around the globe will be celebrating the 20 million withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party and its related organizations this Saturday, March 24.
"The wave of resignations around China started a little over two years ago and has proven that the Chinese people now dare to envision a new China."

Martial Law Imposed After Hunan Protest

EET reports that martial law has been imposed in Yongzhou, the site of the recent Hunan protests.

'On March 13, police vehicles patrolled the city and broadcast messages requesting the residents to keep calm and not to listen to "rumors." They claimed that the police had been restrained and would not harm civilians. Responding to the messages broadcast from the police vehicle, a local resident said, "It's a lie!"'

"Human Rights in China spokesman Feng Congde commented that the Yongzhou incident and the recent large scale conflicts between the police and the public reflects the huge gap between the true situation and the image of a harmonious society that the Chinese regime has endeavored to build."

Ford Selling Aston Martin

"Ford to Sell Aston Martin in $925 Million Deal" reads the headline - and you can see that it's true. Quite a development in the auto industry ... but it may be predicted, with all the financial problems that Ford is having.

"Ford Motor Co. is selling British luxury car maker Aston Martin to a group fronted by former Benetton and BAR motor racing boss David Richards in a deal worth 479 million pounds ($925 million).

"The second-biggest U.S. carmaker said on Monday it would retain a 40 million pound investment in Aston Martin, the carmaker James Bond spy films made famous, and that it expected the deal to close in the second quarter of this year."

Forbes' Billioniare List Grows

EET reports that the list of Forbes' billionaires has grown to almost 1000 strong. This is the most international billionaires' list ever, with more billionaires from India and Europe. The no. 3 on the list is from Mexico, whose wealth has swelled from $19 billion to $49 billion.

"Microsoft founder Bill Gates is still holding on to top spot with a personal worth of $56 billion. Close friend and finance investment wizard Warren Buffet is a close second with $52 billion.

While No.1 and No.2 were from the US, the three remaining slots in the Top 5 belonged to corporate leaders in Mexico, Sweden and India. Carlos Slim Helu, Mexican industrialist in charge of several telecom giants, was No. 3 with $49 billion."

Democrats Seek Mid-2008 Iraq Withdrawal

The Epoch Times is reporting that U.S. Democrats are demanding a mid-2008 Iraq withdrawal - which is completely at odds with the Bush plan to send in more troops to stabilize the situation there.

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, wants the proposal approved next week in the House Appropriations Committee as part of a $100 billion bill to continue funding the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. If so, the full House would debate the measure the following week."
