Chinese execute with ‘death vans’
Michael Sheridan, Far East Correspondent
THE death van is an inconspicuous blue-and-white police vehicle that parks near the courtroom when its services are required by the Chinese judicial system.
Inside it is fitted with a couch that can be raised or lowered like an operating table, set in the middle of the floor. There is space on either side for the bailiff, the court medical expert and one or two policemen to hold down the condemned man.

A lethal injection is then administered in a two-stage process by the medical expert, who in some cases may be a qualified doctor, and the bailiff. The process is swift and efficient, according to a policeman who has witnessed the vans in use in Liaoning province, northeast China.
This picture, which was handed to The Sunday Times outside China, was taken in Liaoning by an official witness in violation of strict rules against photographs of the death vans in operation.
“After judgment is pronounced the criminal will be taken somewhere near the court, normally within 10 minutes’ drive,” said the policeman. “He will then be transferred to the lethal injection van. It’s all over very quickly.”
A rare newspaper account of an execution on January 19 in Liaoyang, the provincial capital, says the convicted man, Li Jiao, was dead within 14 minutes of sentence being pronounced.
The vans, which cost £33,000 each, are fitted with closed circuit television, which permitted Li’s death to be watched by local members of the National People’s Congress gathered at the city’s funeral parlour.
In the past, capital punishment was carried out by a single shot to the back of the head at execution fields outside Chinese cities and families of the dead were sent a bill for the bullet. Now the vans are circulating in several provinces, their clean and discreet method of killing hailed by officials as progress. Death by injection costs the state about £63 but is free to the victim’s relatives.
The death penalty is inflicted for crimes ranging from murder to smuggling and official corruption. China refuses to disclose the number of capital sentences carried out each year but Amnesty International quoted a senior legislator as saying up to 10,000 people a year die at the hands of the state executioners.
However, the presence of the legislators monitoring Li’s execution signalled the fact that, for the first time since 1949, a serious debate about capital punishment is under way.
Last autumn the Supreme People’s Court announced that it would in future review all death sentences. The government has also indicated it will reduce the number of crimes that carry a mandatory death sentence.
Two months ago there was unprecedented discussion of the issue at an academic conference in Xiangtan, central China. The participants heard “powerful arguments over the possibility of abolishing the death penalty”, according to accounts in the official media.
Professor Qiu Xinglong, dean of the law faculty at Xiangtan University, who is seen as a leading advocate for abolition, told the conference he had to speak up after visiting a youth of 18 condemned to death.
“At 7 on the last morning, he was eating with me. An hour later he was on the execution field,” the professor said. “From that moment on I have been haunted by this question: why must we kill another human being?”
The remarks were published by the state media along with a highly defensive response by the deputy minister of justice, Zhang Jun, who promised reform. “My suggestion is to make sure they stay in prison for at least 25 years and then release them,” Zhang said. “A criminal who is released at 55 normally will not commit a new crime.”
The media also quoted opponents of liberalisation such as Xia Qingwen, an online commentator with Xinhuanet, the official news agency.
“The notion of ‘returning like for like’ is rooted in China,” Xia said. “The majority of the public could not accept that some murderers could go free after 10 years’ imprisonment.”
Despite the open discussion and the move towards “humane” killing, Amnesty International monitors reported a surge in executions six weeks ago as China marked the lunar new year, with almost 200 put to death.

Google Imposes Worldwide Ban On China Critical Website
Space War accuses company of selling out to "boys from Beijing"
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com February 24 2006
UPDATE: After a complaints campaign, Google has agreed to re-index the Space War website mentioned in this article. Your efforts do have an impact!
For the first time in what some fear will signal a growing trend, Google Inc. has banned and removed a mainstream news website from all its worldwide search engines, seemingly due to the website's reports on China's geopolitical affairs and military technology.
Google came under fire last month for agreeing to install government search filters on its Chinese based search engine. The company that was founded on the motto "don't be evil," claimed that some censorship was acceptable because in the long term the Internet would be opened up to a wider audience and freedom of speech would expand.
That excuse can today be put to bed because Google has banned its users inside the US and the rest of the world from accessing the Space War website from its search engine.
Space War is a reasonably tame mainstream website that focuses on geopolitical affairs and satellite and military technology advancements. It is based in Australia and carries articles from AFP and United Press International.
In a statement posted on its website today, the President and Publisher of Space.TV Corporation Simon Mansfield released the following comments,
"Google Inc. has banned SPACEWAR.COM, a news site covering military space. Reasons for the ban by Google are unclear. The company did not communicate with Space.TV Corp., the owner of SPACEWAR.COM, prior to its action, and Google representatives did not respond to requests for comment."
"Google Inc.'s preferred method of banning a site is to delist its primary domain URL - www.spacewar.com - from the Google search index. Google also can reduce a site's page rank, or eliminate it entirely, as it has done to SpaceWar.com."
"Google Inc in the wake of pressure from the Chinese government has begun blocking access to various websites deemed unfriendly to the "Boys From Beijing" (TM)."
"At this stage we have no evidence to suggest this is the reason why Google has banned SPACEWAR.COM. The lack of any forewarning that SPACEWAR.COM was operating in violation of Google's increasingly strict search engine compliance requirements, however, leads us to suspect the ban is politically motivated."
"Google Inc.'s corporate mantra is "Do No Evil." Obviously, this is not true given Google's willingness to submit to the censorship requirements of the Chinese government."
It is important to stress that Space War is not even outright hostile to the Chinese government, it simply reports on publicly available information about its military progression and relations with other countries.
This sets the precedent for Google to ban any website that is even mildly critical of the Communist dictatorship in China. Much to our surprise, the website you are reading now is still accessible in most areas of China but we don't expect it to remain that way for very much longer.
The Chinese government is held aloft by the UN and others as the model of the New World Order. The country is no less totalitarian than it was when the PLA massacred as many as 2600 protesters and injured 10,000 more at Tiananmen Square on June 4th 1989.
Political dissidents and peaceful practitioners of the Falun Gong religion and even the lawyers who defend them are subject to mobile execution vans or if they're lucky, hauled off to permanent detention camps.
US companies like Microsoft and Yahoo have been complicit in helping the Chinese government locate and arrest Chinese bloggers who post even mild criticism of the government.
Space War is inviting its readers to complain to their political representative. We urge you to support them by following this link and ensuring that the practice of worldwide censorship of websites critical of the ChiComs ends now.

Total Dehumanization In China
Executed political dissidents organs and body parts sold to the west;
US government not concerned
Alex Jones appears on Coast to Coast AM this evening to discuss the elite's dehumanization programs.
One of the primary agendas of the global elite is to plunge the soul of humanity into an abyss of decadence.
When the human race ceases to operate on any kind of moral compass the gateway is opened for evil influences to step in and take the place of the naturally occurring healthy human motivations and aspirations.
How dehumanization manifests and its catalysts are multifaceted but included below are several recent and historical examples of how, through intentional disregard of human life and the value of the human spirit, our minds are being conditioned to accept what are on the surface bizarre developments as being normal.
The beauty products from the skin of executed Chinese prisonersLondon Guardian
A Chinese cosmetics company is using skin harvested from the corpses of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, an investigation by the Guardian has discovered
State Department says organ harvesting is an urban legend
State Department
The State Department cites Organ Transplantation and harvesting as an "Urban Legend", saying there is no evidence for it. Here's a lengthy report on the subject by David J. Rothman, Bernard Schoenberg Professor of Social Medicine and History at Columbia University. Rothman says "in China officials profitably market organs of executed Chinese prisoners."
Here is a list of every mainstream media source you could think of reporting on the issue http://www.vachss.com/help_text/organ_trafficking.html
The State Department carried a piece on its own website admitting organ harvesting yet they then claim it to be an urban legend! http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/rm/2001/3792.htm
China is the world leader in police state, repression and dehumanization. It is the UN world model in that it is the Globalist benchmark for what they would like all countries to resemble.
Chinese try mobile death vans
The Age
China is equipping its courts with mobile execution vans as it shifts away from the communist system's traditional bullet in the head, towards a more "civilised" use of lethal injection.
The policy of public executions in China is still in place, with victims being tortured into 'confessing' before they are brutally eliminated. These photographs (source) document a public execution.
The issues of forced sterilization and forced abortion have also recently resurfaced in the Communist country. Despite withdrawing some funds for these policies, the Bush administration still bankrolls UNESCO projects which have had direct links to forced abortions and sterilizations.
China admits women were forced to have abortionsLondon Independent
Sources in Linyi City and its surrounding counties claimed that up to 120,000 women had been coerced into submitting to the procedures and that some of them were in the ninth month of their pregnancies.
The agenda of depopulation is key to the mind set of the Globalists. Numerous different public figures have publicly expressed their desire to brutally reduce world population. Consider the following.
"In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation."Prince Philip, in his Foreword to If I Were an Animal; United Kingdom, Robin Clark Ltd., 1986.
Read many more similar quotes from Prince Philip here.
"A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."Ted Turner, in an interview with Audubon magazine.
National Security Memo 200, dated April 24, 1974, and titled "Implications of world wide population growth for U.S. security & overseas interests," says: "Dr. Henry Kissinger proposed in his memorandum to the NSC that "depopulation should be the highest priority of U.S. foreign policy towards the Third World." He quoted reasons of national security, and because `(t)he U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less-developed countries ... Wherever a lessening of population can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resources, supplies and to the economic interests of U.S.
Kissinger prepared a depopulation manifesto for President Jimmy Carter called 'Global 2000' which detailed using food as a weapon to depopulate the third world.
One of the most chilling admissions of deadly intent came from the lips of the late Jacques Cousteau, the sainted environmental icon. In an interview with the UNESCO Courier for November 1991 the famed oceanographer said:
The damage people cause to the planet is a function of demographics — it is equal to the degree of development. One American burdens the earth much more than twenty Bangaladeshes. The damage is directly linked to consumption. Our society is turning toward more and needless consumption. It is a vicious circle that I compare to cancer....
This is a terrible thing to say. In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it’s just as bad not to say it.
Burnet's solution: The plan to poison S-E AsiaThe Age
World-famous microbiologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet, the Nobel prize winner revered as Australia's greatest medical research scientist, secretly urged the government to develop biological weapons for use against Indonesia and other "overpopulated" countries of South-East Asia.
Slowly but surely the people of China are revolting against the tyranny being imposed on them by the Communist government.
Villagers in Shengyou revolted after the government tried to steal their land by force. Police and hired thugs brutally suppressed the protest by beating the villagers with canes and shovels. Several were also killed by gunshot wounds.
