Rebiya Kadeer, president of the so-called World Uygur Congress (WUC), recently ordered WUC members to unify their talk to attract more world attention.

"We shall 'make unlimited exaggeration' when facing the media. The more chaotic, the better. That's what we wish to see," said Kadeer.

"When reports say that five Uygur people died, we gonna tell them hundreds were killed, hundreds injured and still other hundreds arrested. When the media say Uygur shops were robbed, we will tell them a great number of Uygur stores and houses were heisted. By so doing will we succeed in attracting foreign media," she "explained."

Why would Kadeer order the WUC to unify their talk? Reason one may be her fear that the inconsistencies of what is being said will expose their tricks. Truth will be the same whenever, wherever, whoever says it, while a lie will be inconsistent on those occasions.

A second reason is that, in order to grab the world's attention, a terrorist organization in nature like the WUC has no other way but to confound right and wrong and go down the road of lies, in the hope that exaggeration will help them manipulate foreign media.

In Tokyo, Kadeer alleged 10,000 people disappeared during the July 5 riot in Urumqi. But, someone pointed out during Kadeer's appearance at the Japan National Press Club that to "arrest or kill" so many people, as she claimed, at least 30,000 police officers and several thousand vehicles would have been involved.

When Kadeer was asked why nobody witnessed such a show of force, she looked embarrassed and could not find an answer.

In another show of her lack of credibility, a British member of the European Parliament, Nirj Deva, said earlier this month that he was confused as Kadeer's personal experience ran counter to her accusations at a session of the parliament's human rights committee, which Kadeer attended.

"How is it possible for her to become one of the richest women in China if she has been discriminated against?" "If the Uygur language is banned, how could Kadeer speak it so fluently today?" Deva asked.

In fact, Kadeer is a regular liar. She spread rumors following the July 5 riot in Urumqi. She lied during her visit to Japan and Australia, and she did so in order to evade taxes and cheat others in the 1980s and 1990s when she was a businesswoman.

Over the past 20 years, Kadeer's lies changed. With lies, she moved from amassing a big fortune to creating chaos and splitting China. What never changed is lying itself.

Kadeer and the WUC's deceptive words and deeds have created nothing more than a pitfall for themselves. As they fabricate new lies to cover up previous ones, the nature of their words becomes clearer: they are anything but true.
