I am deeply saddened two of my favorite journalists, Bob Scheer & @ChrisLynnHedges, are platforming Falun Gong/CIA propaganda and repeating the fabricated story of Uyghur genocide. You should know better, and some of your associates do. Allow me to explain. THREAD

Amelia Pang is a journalist with the Epoch Times, an extreme right-wing rag founded by the Falun Gong, a racist cult with a megalomaniacal leader, and funded by Robert Mercer and the US Alliance on Global Media. theepochtimes.com/author-amelia-…

Now, Xinjiang: Max Blumenthal and his @TheGrayzoneNews colleagues are leading the way in unmasking the disinformation campaign underway in service of a new cold war: thegrayzone.com/2020/03/26/for…
Behind every Xinjiang genocide story is Adrian Zenz, who wrote a book about why most Jews will burn instead of being taken up in the rapture thegrayzone.com/2019/12/21/chi…
Gareth Porter and Blumenthal have systematically dismantled Zenz's bunk research thegrayzone.com/2021/02/18/us-…

You praised Pang's 'story.' A tale of love and struggle against grave inhumanity indeed sounds compelling. Consumerism & labor rights are certainly huge issues.
