San Francisco Bay Area Falun Gong practitioners have sent out a mass letter Monday evening to much of the San Francisco legal community. Attorneys and law firms received faxed letters that overtly accused San Francisco business consultant Rose Pak of hate crimes.
What!
This has got to be one of the most stupendous blunders yet by Falun Gong. I don't have anything against Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) other than they seem to have a penchant for doing inappropriate things at inappropriate times. They seem to totally lack the finesse necessary to maneuver within professional American society. Their dealings with the San Francisco political, professional and business community reveal significant failure on the part of Falun Gong to do the research necessary and learn the professional, appropriate and polished way to communicate their political objectives. Falun Gong suffers from a deep and basic ignorance of American municipal politics.
Simply put: they are clueless.
This latest Falun Gong diatribe begins with this self-incriminating sentence: "On behalf of Falun Gong practitioners in the Bay Area, we are writing to you requesting assistance on current and possible future civil rights legal cases in which Falun Gong practitioners are victims of discrimination and hate crimes by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and its consultant, Rose Pak."
Wow, talk about sinking your own ship!
First off let me state this as clearly as possible. Rose Pak is not guilty of hate crimes. Rose Pak is a San Franciscan in the highest, finest and truest sense possible. She has been and continues to be a great asset to the people of San Francisco.
Falun Gong's case against Rose Pak may be baseless nonsense, but it sure looks like Rose Pak might be building a good case against Falun Gong! The faxed letter containing the above sentence seems to have been blank-faxed to a large number of San Francisco attorneys and law firms. Every so often I come across some organization whose leaders are so completely knuckle-dragging dumb that they fit themselves for their own nooses. Falun Gong is tailoring a custom-made noose that must be a true work of art.
The fax was signed by Alicia Zhao, Steve Ispas and David Chang who identify themselves as Falun Gong practitioners. In their defense I can only hope the letter went out over their signatures without them having carefully read the contents.
While the Falun Gong faxed plea for help is laughable, I doubt very much that Rose Pak is going to appreciate the humor. Based on the repeated accusations in the Falun Gong letter sent throughout the San Francisco legal community, it looks as if Rose Pak may be the one with the last laugh and who ends up banging the Falun Gong gong.
The only thing Falun Gong may have accomplished with this absurd fax is to shoot themselves in the foot ... again.
Still, in the spirit of fairness I want to give Falun Gong the voice they so desperately want. The philosophy behind Falun Gong is peaceful and meditative. Other than being a public nuisance they create no problems within our community and they have made repeated attempts to contribute to the community in many ways. Falun Gong has many good and solid points and they are a legitimate and valued part of the San Francisco fabric.
Falun Gong's communication skills, however, are so horribly weak, that they pretty much ruin the benefit of any good work Falun Gong may do. They need help - lots of it. So, again, in the spirit of fairness, if you are so inclined to help them, here are the names and email addresses of the three Falun Gong practitioners who signed the mass-faxed letter:
Alicia Zhao
Steve Ispas
David Zhang

Hi! Earlier this year at SF Supervisors' meeting voting on the Resolution condemning persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, I saw with my own eyes Rose Pak reading out of the main book of teachings of Falun Gong and offering her own interpretations to attack the practice in front of the Supervisors. That definitely constitutes Hate Crime for me....
And that is only one of the many things she has done against Falun Gong here in San Francisco.
She was personally complimented by former PR of China President Jiang for her persistent efforts against Falun Gong overseas when she visited Jiang in 2001. (See Sing Tao Daily, Nov. 23, 2001: in an interview with former SF Mayor Willie Brown by Sing Tao Chief Editor Ge Li, Ge Li asked how the mayor felt when Jiang Zeming personally thanked him for SF board of supervisors voted 8:3 against the Falun Gong resolution, Brown answered that “President Jiang Zemin was especially pleased with the SF Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Rose Pak for the effort they made in strongly against this resolution...” She doesn't seem so innocent to me.....
I think her politically-motivated hateful actions are ruining SF's environment of tolerance for all people. I am all for suing her.
