List of Labor Camps Released to International Journalists in China

The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) released today a list of 51 labor camps for journalists to investigate while they are in China for the Olympic Games.

CIPFG reports that there are nearly 300 labor camps in China, where torture, “re-education” (brainwashing), and forced labor take place. Tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners are said to be held there, and among them are those arrested in large purges that took place in the months before the Olympics.

The regime in China has been known to deny independent investigations of claims of torture and abuse in its labor camps, which people can be sentenced to without trial.

In the lead-up to the games, CIPFG released to journalists a guide to seven labor camps near the Olympics venues, titled “Torture Outside the Olympic Village: A Guide to China’s Labor Camps.” These camps held practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice that is heavily persecuted in China.

Sources reported that the Chinese regime relocated many of the Falun Gong practitioners in the camps to ones in other provinces, and put on show tours for foreign media.

Falun Gong has been persecuted since 1999 when the practice was outlawed after it grew to an estimated 80–100 million practitioners. Reports from human rights organizations document brutal persecution against practitioners, including rape, torture, and the harvesting of organs. The Chinese regime has not explained a surge of transplants done since 2001, including 40,000 transplants with donors unaccounted for.

I didn't want there to be any drama but apparently that's unavoidable. I'm just leaving that's all.

Hey man, I see that you have been discarding your Sifts. Why, what's wrong with them? Is there drama?

Look.. the basic fact is that I'm leaving the sift.. I didn't want to make this a public exibition. I was hoping there wouldn't be a sift talk about this. I've deleted all my playlists, comments and started pulling my vids.

The problem is convoluted and difficult to explain but basically I see this site as a place to find funny and cute vids with the occasional nice music vid. When I post videos on some extremely important issues that contain investigations by credible news organizations into henous acts by the govt./military complex and it gets one vote, while at the same time I'm ridiculed and taunted, it makes me think: "Why the fuck do I even bother with these assholes?"

I am removing myself from this frustrating and silly envoronment. If you like any posts I have then feel free to repost them yourself. I don't have time for this anymore. 2009 and forward are going to be some extremely difficult times for me and the rest of the world and I am on the verge of being homeless because I'm unemployed and broke. I haven't felt very welcome here and I'm sick of the stereotypes and bullshit.

I would have just deleted the account but that's apparently not an option. Look... I'm not getting paid for this. I have a difficult time dealing with some of the issues that I've brung forth to you all. The straw that broke the camel's back here has nothing to do with Netrunner. He's a good guy but I think he's politically misaligned. I don't blame him though.. I've been a Dem, a Republican, a Green party, Constitutional party, and a Libertarian. Why have I jumped all over the spectrum? Because you can't get a full perspective unless you've experienced them all. I suppose that this is why I consider myself a Centrist now. There's lots of good and bad from all parties. Also I've noticed there is corruption in all of them as well. Most notably in the Dems and Repub sides. Corruption, Infiltration, Greed, Hypocrisy, Deception.. the list goes on. I'm pretty fed up with all of it really.

If you all really want me to not delete my current vids then fine, I'll leave them be but I won't be posting anymore vids, I won't be maintaining any playlists anymore and I won't be writing anymore blogs. This isn't about who wins or who loses. This isn't about who did what or anything like that. I'm just some average guy that can't afford to do this anymore - physically and mentally.

Good luck to you all.
