Proxies of CCP Targeting U.S. Congressmen and Dancers with Terrorist Bombing Threats
Late last month an anonymous sender made claims in Chinese that he has sent “bombs” to attack not only Shen Yun dancers but any member(s) of the U.S. Congress who support the Shen Yun performing arts.
These threats have escalated to such a point that the U.S. State Department has condemned them publicly. The sources of these threats aren’t known but they are definitely behaving like proxies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which has been torturing practitioners of Shen Yun’s Falun Gong for nearly 20 years, to include organ harvesting.
The ultimate irony is that the New York Times is targeting Shen Yun as well, with extremely vague claims that DHS investigating the group for visa fraud, and for, well, mistreating its dancers. The Falun Dafa Information Center in New York denies these charges.
Particularly ironic is that the dancers often portray CCP persecution in their performances. To say the CCP – which has banned the dance in China and endorses the persecution of Shen Yun – is engaged in projection, would be a gross understatement.
A spokesperson for the group joins us now to discuss the matter further. We welcome them to the show!
Here is a map of all the places around the world where the CCP has attempted to sabotage… dance; the Shen Yun Performing Arts.
