Background from WJ Sat - female protestor Hu - Bush - White House
If you can - be sure to watch or isten to the segment of last Saturday's WJ to get some background on who she is and what she was doing. You may not get this on corporate tv.

Before I start, let me mention that nearly all the callers were supportive of her. I have not witnessed that degree of unanimity in the call-ins in many years and is a reason to watch or listen in itself.

The guest. Erphing Zhang, is a spokesperson for Falun Gong. Dr. Wang is a devotee of Falun Gong, but she is also a medical surgeon practicing at a New York hospital.

Wang's outburst was about human organs. Zhang said whe was was protesting the way China is getting these human organs.

If what she was protesting is true - there is something horrible going on over there.

He said (all paraphrased)
. China is filling requests for human organs nearly on an on-demand basis.
. Those who contest call it organ harvesting.
. Falun Gong followers are practicing what sounds like passive meditation and exercises and their numbers are growing.
. But, China rulers are threatened by the movement.
. They imprison Falun Gong members and many believe that the organs are coming from Falun Gong followers who have been imprisoned.

All coverage of the protest seems to have died. There are always two sides and an up and below the surface truth behind all of this. Therefore, I recommend hearing Zhang as a starting point for establishing the truth of it all before believing the smears to come, since smearing dissentors is on the rise.
