meanwhile, Australia’s foreign and defense ministers are in DC for talks on China, etc., with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Mark Esper; also, Australia’s Prime Minister announced today he will take up President Trump’s offer to attend the G7 meeting in DC in September.
nevertheless, taxpayer-funded ABC devoted a half hour last week to trashing Falun Gong because they support Trump, and Snopes agrees!
VIDEO: 31m: Updated 25 Jul: ABC Australia: Foreign Correspondent: The Power of Falun Gong
The movement first gained global attention when its members became the target of ruthless persecution by the Chinese Communist Party, triggering widespread sympathy and support in the West...
This joint ABC Foreign Correspondent-Background Briefing investigation shines a spotlight on this global movement, revealing how Falun Gong has morphed from a fringe quasi-religious group into a powerful player in America’s conservative media landscape, working to ensure another term for Trump so he can continue his war of words with China.
Background Briefing’s podcast series also investigates the movement’s Australian operations, uncovering powerful political collaborators closer to home.
From Australia, to Taiwan, to Los Angeles and the movement’s “Dragon Springs” headquarters in upstate New York, Foreign Correspondent’s Eric Campbell and Background Briefing’s Hagar Cohen explore the opaque world of the Falun Gong and its mysterious leader Master Li Hongzhi.
This investigation reveals how the group has harnessed social media, spending millions through made-up groups and fake identities to promote Donald Trump and his anti-Beijing policies.
“This is a matter of cosmic importance to them that Trump gets re-elected”, says one member of nearly ten years, who has now left the Falun Gong.
Another former insider says the movement promotes intolerant teachings which are racist and homophobic.
“I’m mixed race. I am quite possibly just homosexual. And those are the two kinds of people that are purportedly causing the end of the world,” says ex-devotee Anna, now in her 20s and living on the US west coast...
FROM TRANSCRIPT:
ERIC CAMPBELL, ABC Reporter: Falun Gong is no longer just a spiritual movement. Manhattan is the headquarters of a growing media empire aligned to Falun Gong. Called Epoch Media Group, it runs the conservative newspaper chain, the Epoch Times which has now expanded into a popular online news channel...
ERIC CAMPBELL, Reporter: The Epoch Times spent close to two million dollars on a Facebook advertising campaign that praised Trump and demonised his enemies...
ERIC CAMPBELL, Reporter: In August last year, Facebook banned the Epoch Times from purchasing any further advertising. In Los Angeles, Alex Kasprak has been investigating the campaign for the fact-checking website Snopes.
ALEX KASPRAK, SNOPES: Essentially, they were creating a number of Facebook groups or pages that didn’t disclose they were part of the Epoch Times publishing group, but still promoted their content through these third party-seeming channels. That’s just against, I mean, it’s a clear violation, letter of the law of their policy. You cannot do that...

wow. ignore China incarcerating, torturing, killing and harvesting their organs. Falun Gong is evil because they support a President who is willing to stand up to totalitarian China!
millions of Australians are sick and tired of ABC’s relentless anti-Trump propaganda.
Nadler better be careful browsing the internet. One errant mouse click that sends him to a non-leftist website and his entire worldview might collapse.
l8r
Saw Naddler waddling on Hannity. Looks in really bad shape.
What a small, pathetic man Nadler is.
I ran into Jerry Nadler in DC and asked him to disavow the Antifa violence/rioting in Portland.
His response?

It’s the Molly Maguires resurgent. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Fighting for better working conditions in the mines for Irish immigrants. Sure an there’s no Mafia, either. John Gotti and Al Capone were false flags, and the Giancana crime family didn’t steal the 1960 election for JFK, a good Irish lad. It was the Molly Maguires and an international Irish conspiracy./s
That also explains the anti-Semitism. Givin’ ‘em one for Jaysus, so they are. I’m really Irish meself, just working undercover as a Joooo!
My pet rock companion of many years has an insanely higher intelligence quote than go-nadless.
Nadler’s so completely clueless, (and always has been), that he probably actually believes that it’s just a myth.
If Nadler is willing to put his ass where his mouth is (my apologies for that mental picture) I’ll buy him a plane ticket and hire an Uber for him to get to and from the airport , and give him ten thousand dollars cash to walk with me (otherwise unescorted and unannounced) through the Portland streets next Saturday night.
Now I know that Nadler can get ten times that much in graft and Deep State payoffs in a day, but I’m not a rich man, and that is about all I can afford......
Although, come to think of it, If I sold pay-per-view viewing rights here at FR, I might even be able to make a profit.
Gluttony hasn’t killed him yet
Amazing isn’t it?
And yet, this loser will be re-elected time after time after time...term limits please. I try not to judge by personal appearance but Nadler looks to me like the biggest creep on the planet. Don’t you at least have to look like a human being to be elected...never mind.
Are the MSM simply not showing any video of the rioters attacking the federal buildings? Perhaps CNN etc are just showing the rare footage of a federal agent arresting a rioter over and over and over. Maybe there are many consumers of propaganda media, besides Nadler, who believe that the riots are a myth.
