Introduction & Part 1a
Welcome to our audio series of the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party”. The Nine Commentaries were first published on November 19th 2004 by the Epoch Times, the most widely distributed Chinese language newspaper in the world. This series explores the history and nature of the Chinese Communist Party (the CCP). From its origins stemming from a branch of Soviet communism, the CCP imposed a foreign ideology on China. Traditional Chinese culture maintained strong spiritual values that served as the core unifying principles for China throughout its 5,000 year history. All of this has since been destroyed by the CCP from the time it took control over China in 1949.
Through listening to the “Nine Commentaries”, we will discover how the CCP emphasizes violent struggle against humanity, nature and the laws of Heaven to gain and maintain power, and how it indiscriminately changes its policies with complete disregard for morality, justice and human life. In its 50 years of rule, the CCP has been disastrous for both China and its people. Communist tyranny brought to China an estimated 60 to 80 million unnatural deaths, this number greater than the total deaths from the two world wars, and 13 times that of the Jewish people killed by the Nazi regime.
Since its publication, the “Nine Commentaries”, has been the motivating factor to awaken and inspire over 14 million people to renounce Chinese Communist Party rule. These documented renouncements are made by mainland Chinese citizens choosing to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliate organizations on a daily basis, averaging 20 - 30,000 people per day. The Epoch Times has noted that as the “Nine Commentaries” continues to spread throughout China, the rate of renouncements is accelerating. It has also sparked much discussion among the international community and has been the main topic of interest and concern in many worldwide forums.
Part 1b
In Part 1a, we heard that deception and lies play a very important role in the CCP gaining and maintaining power. To make history serve the current regime, the CCP has make a practice of altering and concealing historical truth. Alterations of the Chinese historical record have been perpetrated by the CCP for more than 50 years since 1949 and all efforts to restore historical truth have been blocked and eliminated by the CCP. When violence becomes too weak to sustain control, the CCP resorts to deception and lies which serve to justify and mask the rule by violence.
Part 1b: The Communist Party nature replaces and eliminates human nature. All CCP members and those ruled by the CCP must obey commands unconditionally.
Part 2a
In Part 1b, we heard how the Communist Party nature replaces and eliminates human nature. All CCP members and those ruled by the CCP must obey commands unconditionally.
In China most people know about the double personalities of CCP members; in private they are ordinary people with human emotions. During the Cultural Revolution, it was too common that fathers and sons tortured each other, husbands and wives struggled against each other and mothers and daughters reported on each other. The CCP places the party nature above human nature, and the fact that Chinese people will act against their inner conscience results from prolonged courses of CCP indoctrination where the concepts of good and evil are arbitrarily manipulated. The Communists Party says it does not allow murder, but it will murder people labeled as “class enemies”.
Benevolence, wisdom and propriety are good, but not when the CCP deems them inapplicable to its motives. The Communist Party overthrows the universal standards for human nature and builds itself on a platform that not only opposes human nature but attempts to transcend it. Karl Marx proclaimed that “in 1848 a specter is haunting Europe - the Specter of Communism.” Over 100 years later this evil specter has spread globally like an epidemic, killing people in the tens of millions and cruelly possessing billions more.
We continue now with the beginning of Part 2 of the Nine Commentaries, “On the Beginnings of the Chinese Communist Party”.
Part 2b
In Part 2a, we heard how in the late 19th century and early 20th century China experienced tremendous external shocks and made many attempts at internal reform. At the extreme point of national crisis and out of anxiety and desperation, China looked beyond its borders for a quick solution to its suffering and allowed the foreign concept of Communism to be established within its borders.
Chinese traditional culture was rejected and the destruction of everything traditional was advocated. By 1949 when the Chinese Communist Party came into full power, of the 13 members of the original CCP congress, only Mao Zedong remained. It is unclear whether the founders of the CCP were aware at the time that what they introduced from the Soviet Union was in reality an evil specter, and the remedy they sought for strengthening the nation was instead a deadly poison.
