The US-backed anti-China cult Falun Gong and its propaganda arm are all over the conservative conference CPAC, going on right now

This fascist cult believes God sent Trump to destroy Chinese Communist Party. It claims science, homosexuality, and race-mixing are all Satanic plots
The leader of this US-backed cult Falun Gong, Li Hongzhi, not only preaches fascist, racist, homophobic, and anti-science ideas; he also claims he can levitate and make himself invisible

Falun Gong is behind the far-right media network the Epoch Times, which has a huge presence
This fascist, racist, homophobic, anti-science, batshit insane cult Falun Gong popularized the absurd myth that the Chinese governments harvests organs of prisoners

They have no evidence, but the corporate media still spreads their myths to demonize China

More propaganda from the former FBI counterintelligence agent. CIA crimes continue right to this day:

CIA tortured people (some to death) under Bush

CIA armed and trained al-Qaeda-linked Islamist "rebels" in Syria

CIA is trying to overthrow Venezuela's and Iran's gov right now
Under the Trump admin. the CIA has been pretty openly running a regime-change center to try to overthrow Iran's government

Of course the CIA overthrew Iran's elected government in 1953. Nothing has changed with the CIA since then — it's still just as evil

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: "I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses."

You can't make this up: The Washington Post, which is owned by mega-oligarch Jeff Bezos (who has $130 BILLION in wealth) published an oped calling for elites to have an even "bigger say in choosing the president"

They already control basically everything!
archive.fo/zLEci
The Bezos Post just changed this insane headline, but the article still calls for a primary system that "would empower elites to bargain and make decisions, instructed by voters."

ie, let capitalist oligarchs control everything, but with a little feedback from the peanut gallery
This misunderstands the fundamental problem: The elites in the capitalist class have an *irreconciliable* class conflict with the working class. We have *opposing* class interests

But the neoliberals' proposed "solution" is be nice to your oligarchs! Bigger cages, longer chains!

Wikipedia is a scam. It's a propaganda vehicle for intelligence agencies, govts, corporations, and PR flacks

This extremely shady "user" Philip Cross edits all day every day, 7 am to 11 pm, posting nonstop pro-war propaganda — including almost every edit on @MaxBlumenthal's page
@MaxBlumenthal This Wikipedia account "Philip Cross" writes pro-war propaganda almost every single day, all day, from 7 am to sometimes midnight

Is it a team of government officials? An intelligence agency? A corporate PR group?

No one knows. And Wikipedia doesn't care
mintpressnews.com/phillip-cross-…
@MaxBlumenthal False, Wikipedia is not "community created." That's the fake libertarian myth used to market this propaganda scam

80% of content on Wikipedia is generated by 1% of its users

It's a PR operation exploited by states and corporations

"Started almost two decades ago with a stated mission to “provide information to Chinese communities to help immigrants assimilate into American society,” The Epoch Times now wields one of the biggest social media followings of any news outlet."

The small New York-based nonprofit news outlet has spent more than $1.5 million on about 11,000 pro-Trump advertisements in the last six months, according to data from Facebook’s advertising archive — more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself,-"

"The Epoch Times seeks to restore honest journalism, the purpose of a free press."

Wall Street Journal @WSJ publishes op-ed by @EpochTimes publisher Stephen Gregory in response to misleading @NBCNews and @MSNBC attacks. (Thread 👇) wsj.com/articles/nbc-n…
@WSJ @NBCNews @MSNBC The #EpochTimes is a nonpartisan, independent media company that publishes a daily newspaper and website. Our motto is “Truth and Tradition.”

Last week #NBCNews and its sister network #MSNBC launched a series of irresponsible and misleading attacks on us.
The network led with the claim that we have spent “more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself” in the past 6 months on “pro-Trump advertisements.”

NBC refers to ads promoting our print subscriptions—typically short, lively videos featuring recent articles.

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.

New Horrors: #China Harvesting Muslim Organs in Concentration Camps - China is removing live organs from executed Uyghur Muslims & markets them as “halal” & distributes them to a network to wealthy Saudi clients & others 👎🇨🇳👎 @UyghurCongress @AidUyghur medium.com/@cjwerleman/ne…
This week, UK lawmakers warned citizens desperate for transplant operations that they could be unknowingly “playing a role in the profiteering of atrocities against inmates in the Communist government’s network if prisons and detention camps.”
The authors also observe how “another medical witness described being forced to administer blood tests of Uyghur political prisoners on behalf of a handful of ageing, high-ranking, Chinese Communist Party officials who needed tissue-matching organs.”
