Purported Plea from Chinese labor camp found in Halloween decorations

An Oregon woman who found a Chinese laborer's plea for help hidden in a box of Halloween decorations says she thinks the letter, which describes brutal conditions inside a work camp, is authentic.

Julie Keith, 42, of Portland, bought a Halloween graveyard kit from Kmart last year and tucked it away in a storage box. When she opened the kit this October, she found the letter tucked in between two Stryofoam headstones.

Sir:

If you occasionally buy this product, please kindly resend this letter to the World Human Right Organization. Thousands people here who are under the persicution [sic] of the Chinese Communist Party Government will thank and remember you forever.

This product produced by Unit 8, Department 2, Mashanjla Labour Camp, Shen Young, Liaoning, China.

People who work here have to work 15 hours a day without Saturday (or) Sunday break and any holidays, otherwise they will suffer torturement [sic], beat and rude remark, nearly no payment (10 Yuan/one month).

People who work here suffer punishment 1-3 years averagelly [sic], but without court sentence. Many of them are Falun Gong practitioners who are totally innocent people. Only because they have different believe [sic] to the CCPG, they often suffer more punishment than others.

Sentinel and GFXX ... this does tie in. This is a monstrously poignant and real wickedness in so many regards, forced upon us by a government that, through licensing requirements, labor laws, convoluted and impossible to understand tax law, zoning restrictions, legislation on manufacturing companies, dictating every detail of employer-employee relations down to medical care, and above all, a creeping government seizure of energy and food related industries in the name of "environmentalism", -- the sum total of all this paralyzing liberal government tyranny has reduced individual Americans to the point that each one is pulled back, from the ground up, from going about producing all the goods that China provides dirt cheap. Cheap because China's communism puts an equally cheap value on human life.

Cheap because American laws have made it essentially illegal for enterprising Americans to produce and manufacture profitably.

If laws were pruned back to the place where free Americans could engage in free commerce, whether it was growing and selling their own food from front gardens, to to buying a boat and venturing forth to be a commercial fisherman, or to be a doctor, or a stay-at-home mom, or anything productive and lucrative -- as free self-directed people have the God given right to pursue ..... the market for cheap slave-made Chinese crap would evaporate.

And here we see at what cost, what evil cost, liberalism entails.

Throw off the coat of government tyranny and watch American goodness and productivity blossom, and deprive the Chinese communists of the present colusion liberalism has manipulated the American people into.

... that trade can be truly free without being ethical.

It can be free, alright -- but if it's not ethical, it won't last.

As this whole thread reveals -- the word "unsustainable" comes to mind, the darling of environmentalists, the idea that an energy or textiles or food source must be regulated to be "sustainable." Bamboo is the current fad "sustainable" because it grows so fast. Well, communism is the textbook example of unsustainable, dead-end.

Communism is self-defeating, doomed to failure, mathematically, because human nature is what it is. What they want to trade they produce cheap because they value life cheap. They will ultimately fail.

Amen.

Human slavery has been exported to China via Marxism.
