6月19日，美国专家锐克罗斯在网站载文称，“法轮功”头目李洪志接到纽约某家庭法院传票，被要求于本周就“法轮功”分子吴红榴离婚案出庭作证。原文如下：

　　流亡的“法轮功”（中国的一种被许多人认为是邪教的宗教运动）创立者李洪志上周接到传票，要求他于本周在纽约市出庭作证。该法庭诉讼是李洪志的一名弟子提出的针对其丈夫的离婚案。这对夫妻因为“法轮功”的原因而变得十分疏远。本来，妻子是一名真正的信徒，但她的丈夫却不是，这最终导致了婚姻破裂。C女士是“法轮功”或称之为“法轮大法”的一名信徒，已经和她的丈夫C先生分居一段时间。这对夫妻分享对他们儿子的监护权，纽约的一家家庭法院将很快对安排做出最终裁决。

　　李洪志于6月15日周四上午8时20分在纽约圣詹姆士城(the town of Saint James,New York)接到传票。据称这位成为美国公民的中国流亡者有两个住处，一处在纽约，另一处在新泽西。李洪志接到传票后将在皇后区的一家纽约法院出庭。他的预定出庭时间是本周四14时30分。

　　最近“法轮功”由于一名信徒在中国国家主席胡锦涛在白宫前发表讲话期间对布什总统喊话而受到关注。有趣的是，正是那个叫王文怡的女人，也曾被旧姓梅拉考莱(Mela Cawley)的吴红榴(Mela Wu-Malin)列为在本周进行的纽约法庭诉讼的潜在证人。王文怡和C女士都是“法轮功”成员动作的《大纪元时报》的记者。二人都参加过“法轮功”针对宣布其为邪教的中国政府的抗议和示威活动。

　　“法轮功”已经在美籍华人社会内部引起越来越大的紧张。一些社团，如纽约的法拉盛和最近的旧金山，都不愿意该团体参加那里的活动。一些美籍华人领袖已经表示，李洪志的信徒利用这些活动宣传自己的内容。

　　李洪志已经因他的种族主义和对同性恋者的憎恶性言论遭到批评。他曾说同性恋令人厌恶，一种黑色物质在同性恋者的身体里堆积。李洪志说令人厌恶的同性恋显示同性恋者肮脏的心态心理，他们现在失去了推理的能力。这位宗教领袖声称总有一天同性恋将被上帝消灭。

　　李洪志的种族主义言论也令人烦恼。他对他的信徒们说，混血种人是外星人密谋破坏人类和天堂连接的工具。这些人种间的结合是地球外邪恶势力密谋的一部分。有趣的是，李洪志预定在本周出庭的离婚案中的C先生和C女士正是人种间结合的一个例子，这对夫妻的儿子应当属于李洪志所说的混合种人的范畴。李洪志先生也许很快会锋利机会，在法官面前解释他的信仰。或许这名宗教领袖还会对他的其它说法进行解释，如他能够亲自在他的信徒腹部安装法轮，使其飘浮空中，变于无形。显然，他不能或不愿意飘浮空中或变于无形，来避免这场诉讼。

　　几年前在《华盛顿邮报》（2000）报道过李洪志的执迷和奇异的信仰。但是，从那以来，西方媒体实质上给了这名教主一个自由的表达环境，几乎没有问过他或他的信徒任何难以回答的问题。而是将焦点再三地转向“法轮功”声称的在中国进行的迫害。现在纽约的法庭可能成为李洪志讲话的地点。这次这位“法轮功”领袖无法在由他控制的环境中滔滔不绝地发表意见。法官将左右法庭，而律师会提出问题。

　　本周四下午在皇后区，可能会是一个罕见的机会直接看到李洪志和听到他的讲话，并被记录在案。这位被认为领导数百万人的“法轮功”创立者也许最终将回答一些艰难的问题。

6月19日，2006

　　谢谢贴出这则新闻。不管你对中国的政治局势感受如何，西方媒体对李洪志报道的不明智是令人无法容忍的。我们甚至应该让我们的总统明白，或至少应该试图这样做。然而，这个自封的“上帝”和“救世主”持续在中国煽动暴乱，同时也在瓦解着美国家庭。尽管我并不打算评价中国政府对法轮功的处置是否严厉，但我确信，到了应该引起西方某些人士注意的时候了，我们正在窝藏一个造反者。他对那些虔诚的信徒拥有至高无上的权力。如果他们违背他的教义，将会永远失去被救赎和保护的机会。他说这种情况一旦发生，将厄运当头，譬如疾病降临。他将信徒们玩弄于股掌之上。李洪志看似疯狂，但他像一个精明的商人，操纵和愚弄美国媒体及政客的手段的确使我震惊。

Falun Gong leader served subpoena, scheduled to testify in New York court this week

Li Hongzhi the exiled founder of Falun Gong, a Chinese religious movement many consider a "cult," was served with a subpoena last week, which requires him to appear before a judge in New York City as a witness this week.

That court proceeding is a divorce action filed by one of Hongzhi's followers against her husband. The couple is estranged largely because of Falun Gong.

Essentially, the wife is a true believer, but her husband is not, and this ultimately led to a marital breakdown.

Ms. C. a devotee of Falun Gong also known as Falun Dafa, has been separated from her husband Mr. C. for some time. The couple shares custody of their son and a New York family court will soon make a final determination regarding those arrangements.

Hongzhi was served Thursday June 15th 820 AM in the town of Saint James, New York. The Chinese exile that became an American citizen reportedly has two residences, one in New York and another in New Jersey.

As a direct result of the subpoena served Hongzhi is required to appear before a New York judge in Queens. His scheduled appearance is Thursday this week at 230 PM.

Falun Gong received recent attention when a devotee with "press credentials" began shrieking at President Bush during a speech made by Chinese President Hu Jintao at the White House.

Interestingly, that same woman, Wang Wenyi, was once listed by Mela Wu-Malin Nee Mela Cawley as a potential witness in the New York court proceeding to be held this week.

The Epoch Times, a newspaper run by Falun Gong members that provided Wenyi with press credentials, has similarly sponsored Ms. C. as a reporter. Both Ms. C. and Wenyi have participated in Falun Gong protests and demonstrations against the Chinese government, which has outlawed the group as an "evil cult."

Falun Gong has caused increasing tension within the Chinese-American community. Some communities, such as Flushing, New York and more recently San Francisco, do not appreciate the group's participation at events. Some Chinese-American leaders have suggested that Hongzhi's followers use such events to promote their own agenda.

Li Hongzhi has been criticized for his racist and homophobic remarks.

He has said that gays are "disgusting" and somehow a "black substance" accumulates within the bodies of gay men. "Disgusting homosexuality shows the dirty abnormal psychology of the gay who has lost his ability of reasoning at the present time," Hongzhi stated. And one day the religious leader claims gays will be ‘'eliminated" by ‘'the gods.''

Li Hongzhi's racist remarks are also disturbing.

He teaches his followers that "mixed-race people…[are] instruments of an alien plot to destroy humanity's link to heaven." And that these interracial unions are somehow part of "a plot by…evil extraterrestrials."

Interestingly, Mr. and Mrs. C., whose divorce proceeding Hongzhi is scheduled to appear at this week, are an example of one of those "interracial unions" and the couple's son falls within the category of what Hongzhi's calls "mixed-race-people."

Mr. Hongzhi may soon have an opportunity to explain his beliefs before a judge and under oath as a witness.

Perhaps the religious leader will also explain other statements he has made such as that he can "personally install" falun (a wheel of law) in the abdomens of his followers, "levitate" and "become invisible."

Apparently he was unable andor unwilling to either levitate or become invisible to avoid the process server that presented him with a subpoena last week.

Some years ago the Washington Post (2000) and later the San Jose Mercury News (2001) reported about Hongzhi's bigoted and often bizarre beliefs. However, since then the Western Press has virtually given the leader a "free pass," rarely asking him or his followers any tough questions. Instead, the focus has repeatedly been on Falun Gong claims concerning "persecution" in China.

Now a New York courtroom may become the latest venue for Li Hongzhi to speak. And this time the Falun Gong leader would not be holding forth within an environment that he essentially controls. Instead, the judge would control the courtroom and lawyers would be asking the questions.

This Thursday afternoon in Queens might prove to be a rare opportunity to see and hear Li Hongzhi unfiltered and on the record. The Falun Gong founder, who supposedly leads millions, may finally answer some tough questions.

Thanks for posting this news. Regardless of how one feels about the political situation in China, it is outrageous that the western media has not gotten wise to Li Hongzhi. We even hold our president accountable, or at least try to, yet somehow this self-appointed god and savior conintues to provoke an insurrection in China, while at the same time destroying families in the US. Although I am not justifying the heavy-handed way the Chinese government handles their Falun Gong problem, I do believe it is time for someone in the west to take notice that we are harboring a revolutionary who has absolute power over his doting disciples. If they don't do what he demands, they will forever loose their chance for salvation and he will withdraw his protection. He says once that happens "the bad things will return" like sickness, etc. He has his disiples by the balls. Li may seem crazy, but he actually strikes me as a very shrewd business man who knows how to work the American media and gullible American politicians.
