… might still be a crackpot.
The Chinese Communist Party is a pack of degenerate villains who should be locked up and perma-banned from holding any sort of political office. Still: that doesn’t mean that anyone who opposes the CCP is necessarily good. Iran was bad; didn’t make Saddam any good. Hitler was bad; didn’t make Stalin a hero. And the ChiComs are bad; but that doesn’t mean that the Falun Gong cult is any less of a whackadoodle cult. Taken on it’s own, most people would – I hope – recognize Falun Gong as nonsensical Oriental Weirdness based on superstitious bullcrap of no more actual value than astrology or the teachings of Madame Blavatsky, Ray Comfort, Uri Geller, Jim Jones or Karl Marx. Unfortunately, the people running the cult are quite good at their jobs and have a really quite good PR arm, including many online and IRL projects that you might not recognize as part of the Falun Gong cult. This includes the “Epoch Times,” which *appears* to be a reasonably traditional conservative American news outlet. And much of the news there *is* trad-con stuff, with a perhaps noticeably heavier than usual dose of anti-ChiCom coverage. But they remain under the control of a cult, and this should not be ignored.
The video below covers the cult and a number of their outlets. Same feller did a video that I posted about last year covering those “Shen Yun” shows.
