A sickening light in the New York sky

Subject: txt 1st intl china bdd -
Several readers have asked me to comment on what the Empire State Building is doing: The people in charge are lighting up the building red and yellow, in honor of Communist China, which is marking its 60th anniversary.

This regime, of course, is responsible for the physical destruction of tens of millions of people. This is a country with a gulag, called laogai. It is a country that deprives people of rights that we in the Free World take for granted. It is a country against which very, very credible charges of organ harvesting have been made. It is a country constantly attacking America electronically, monitarily and eventually - they say - intends to replace the US as the worlds superpower.

I thought of calling up some friends of mine in the Chinese democracy movement, to see what they think of what the Empire State Building is doing. I decided not to: I know what they think. And this sort of thing simply torments them. It is disgusting. And, to them, bewildering: Why would people in a free country honor a police state?

Incidentally, the Empire State Building is a few blocks from where I now write. What a sickening thing they have done. I should say more, I know, but that’s all I can muster for now.
