AUDIO: 3m6s: ABC Australia: AM: Protesters bring firearms to US rallies as tensions ramp up
By David Lipson
In the United States, the deployment of federal agents in army fatigues to confront protesters appears to have further ramped up tensions.
There was more violence and destruction over the weekend.
And now there’s a worrying trend emerging: protesters bringing guns to their rallies.

Updated 27 Jul: ABC Australia: Foreign Correspondent: Life and Liberty
On 4th July, a small town in Pennsylvania gathers to watch fireworks celebrating its country’s independence, hard won in a war fought 250 years ago.
Today parts of America feel like they’re at war again, as this powerful country battles disease and division under its polarising and unpredictable President.
As the nation gears up for the presidential election, the ABC’s US Bureau Chief David Lipson takes us on a road trip through the northeast swing states to talk to ordinary people about the coming contest.
Trump’s re-election looked like a certainty before the pandemic. Now, with the economy buckling under more lockdowns, COVID cases rising and civil unrest running in the streets, his grip on power looks more tenuous.
As fringe groups arm themselves for conflict, will this fractured country survive the ultimate democratic stress-test?
David meets Phil from the Michigan Liberty Militia who’s angry about his state’s lockdown orders describing them as ‘a stomp on our constitutional rights’. In protest, they took control of the State parliament in April. Now Phil warns a Trump defeat could get ugly.
‘There’s a lot people out there that would not be able to handle that… there is people… that just think Trump is…like a God.”
‘Bikers for Trump’ member Londa has kept her faith in Trump and is banking on him to deliver the prosperity America used to enjoy.
‘He doesn’t care what anybody thinks. He’s doing what’s best for the country.’
In middle-class Ohio, a professional soccer mum with six children says she’s changed her mind about Trump because he’s ‘unkind’.
‘It’s just not the way that I would want my kids to be treating anybody”.
In Detroit, once the engine of America’s car industry, Dave meets African American woman Desha. She watched her husband die a painful death from COVID-19 and is now urging African Americans to come out and vote on election day.
“Gotta do it. Like we have to, you have to, it is so much more important, you know, now than ever before.”

no media has TDS like Australia’s ABC.
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!
