To whom it may concern,
My name is Dr. Eva Yueh. I am from Taiwan, studied for a master's degree at
Auburn University, Alabama in 1982. I consider myself a pro-American person
because in that era, there was little class distinction in the United States,
racial consciousness was increasingly open, and the public was kind and
polite. By lending a helping hand to strangers, you can integrate into fair
competition in American society after obtaining legal residence status and
enjoy a relatively open living and working environment.
40 years have passed, and the United States has changed. Homeless people are
everywhere in major cities. People tend to be hostile to Asian faces,
especially Chinese immigrants, and even openly insult or beat Chinese people
in public. Where has the confidence, love and politeness of Americans gone?
The infrastructure has not been updated for many years, which has hindered
the effective movement of people and materials. When disasters strike, there
is a shortage of water and electricity. Where does the government spend its
tax revenue every year?
The Los Angeles wildfires had been burning for nearly three weeks. The good
news is that the wildfires have been brought under preliminary control,
thanks to the blessings of rainfall. According to a comprehensive report
released on January 17, a total of 6 million residents were seriously
threatened by the fire as of January 16. More than 10,000 houses were burned
down, a large proportion of which were luxury homes owned by the rich. So
far, more than 27 people have died and the financial losses are estimated to
be more than 300 billion US dollars. It has also exposed the government's
dysfunctional governance and the social injustice and unfairness that is
controlled by the consortium and can do whatever it wants.
The scene that was reduced to ashes after the fire looked like a home
destroyed by war. In Los Angeles in the winter, the victims' lives went from
being well-fed and well-clothed to being homeless in an instant. The physical
and mental damage they sustained was so severe that it could never be
compensated by insurance claims. Apart from expressing our sincere
condolences, we in Taiwan have no other way to alleviate the pain and
property losses suffered by the residents.
Based on relevant reports from various media and self-media around the world,
the Los Angeles fire this time is different from the wildfires that have
occurred every summer in recent years in that many of the extraordinary
"coincidences" can be explained by meteorological science. For example,
wildfires, fueled by drought and foehn winds, became uncontrollable, and
sparks were blown everywhere, creating multiple fire areas. The floods in
2023 caused a large amount of vegetation to grow, and the hottest summer and
driest rainy season in 2024 caused the wildfires that began at the beginning
of 2025. Westerners rarely have the concept of cause and effect and
reincarnation. They never think that what they do in this life will cause any
bad consequences in this life, let alone the responsibility of revenge in the
next life. The corruption of morals, the proliferation of guns, the
"zero-dollar shopping" law, and other social phenomena that have become part
of the common karma that everyone bears, have not been studied or researched
from the perspective that the cycle of karma can produce huge consequences in
this life. Political discourse serves as a reflection on education and the
rectification of public morals and social systems.
The United States is at its peak after World War II, acts as "world police"
everywhere to defend so-called "democracy and freedom" values, and to protect
the "international rules and order" defined by the United States and its
allies. The tycoons and oligarchs on Wall Street who control finance, arms,
energy, agriculture, mineral resources, and technology, under the
government's operating mechanism, use global resources for their own benefit.
The Persian Gulf War that began in August 1990 and the subsequent Iraq War
overthrew President Saddam Hussein; followed by the Afghanistan War and the
proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, all of which resulted in large numbers
of casualties and refugees. What’s more, because of United States’ “firm
support for Israel”, Americans ignored the asymmetric bombing and killing of
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which was close to genocide. The entire Gaza
Strip has become a refugee camp with more than 2 million people suffering in
the hell. Official statistics show that more than 46,000 people have died,
and civil groups estimate that more than 64,000 people died. How can we use
the slogan of "democracy, freedom and human rights" to justify fanning the
flames everywhere, exporting weapons and ammunition, and establishing
military bases around the world to support local conflicts in order to
achieve the goal of political and economic harvest?
Over the past few decades, the overt military strength has led to militarism,
exhausted national treasury resources, caused domestic infrastructure such as
transportation, water and electricity, education, production and manufacture
to stagnate, but enriched several military-industrial giants. How the U.S.
government governs itself from the federal level to the state level is the
United States' own internal affairs. Outsiders have no right to comment on
it. However, the few examples mentioned above highlight the interference in
other countries' internal affairs in the name of "humanitarianism", which has
caused political turmoil, economic decline, Refugees are displaced, and even
Gaza and eastern Ukraine are scorched earth. Only the victims of the Los
Angeles fire might be able to understand the tragedy!
The massacre in Gaza, the lack of humane treatment of Palestinians in the
West Bank, and the reckless attacks of countries such as Lebanon and Syria
are all carried out by Jews and supported by the unconditional connivance and
arms of the United States on the one hand, and Jews also enjoy the full
control of the United States' finance and almost all national resources on
the other hand. They take whatever they want without any concealment, which
can be described as the underworld of capitalism. The biggest beneficiary,
the reason for the water shortage for the Los Angeles fire fighting, is just
the tip of the iceberg. The consequences of such ideologies, schemes, and
actual actions have created countless injustices and hatred around the world
and in the United States.
The Eastern thought system of the unity of man and nature, which is mainly
based on Chinese culture, emphasizes conforming to the Way of Heaven, obeying
the principles of Heaven, and believing in the natural law of cause and
effect and reincarnation. As a Chinese living in Taiwan, I would like to use
the phrase "the heaven and earth come full circle" to explain the strange
behavior of the Los Angeles fire and the huge property losses it caused, and
the meaning behind it. It may not be convincing from the purely Western
thinking of the United States, but it is a small test that one must succumb
to. It is easy for heaven and earth to create climate phenomena such as
foehns, tornadoes, droughts, and floods, but humans are exhausted and unable
to deal with them at all.
The confidence that American political leaders can command the world ought to
come from imposing substantive universal truths rather than the West’s own
values on others. We should truly promote good neighborliness and live in
harmony with each other, rather than engage in hegemonic competition and
create conflicts. When President Trump was sworn in today, he stated in his
inaugural address that "God saved him from assassination, and gave him the
power to save America and make America great again," marking the beginning of
another era of American domination. Hopefully, it would not stimulate more
hatred, conflicts, and wars.
This time, I personally would like to offer good-intentioned advice to the US
government. My purpose is to call on everyone to mourn the victims and
affected households of the Los Angeles fire, which has caused the largest
fire loss in US history, and enabled the rich and the people to experience
the suffering of the refugees devastated by the war in Gaza and eastern
Ukraine. If the US Government can really stop and listen, remember the
warnings and lessons from the fire, another disaster that may explode at any
time and place might be avoided.
During this extraordinary period, individuals, ethnic groups, and countries
all need to actively learn and implement "love and gratitude" and make
"kindness" the principle of life and work, so that they can contribute to a
stable life, a prosperous country, and world peace.
Appreciate greatly if you could spend some time reading through this letter.
Any impression and further perception are formed after reading, and affect
your mindset toward “law of cause and effect and incarnation” to a certain
extent could be a wonderful outcome, because your thoughts might develop a
good diffusion to people around you that might help create a better world.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Eva Yueh
