Why The Epoch Times Is ‘Defending America’
The Epoch Times ^ | July 3, 2021 Updated: July 4, 2021 | Editorial Board

Posted on 07/04/2021 3:26:18 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

With a new initiative, Defending America, The Epoch Times seeks to remind Americans of the goodness of our country.

Such a reminder should not be needed.

From its beginnings, America has offered its citizens the most important freedom: freedom of belief. It has been a nation where the faithful can practice their religion without fear of persecution.

By protecting fundamental rights, Americans have asserted the dignity of each individual, and have guaranteed the rights of speech, press, assembly and protest, and property, among others. And so have opened the door to individuals to seek to better themselves. With everyone free to pursue their dreams, we have been an inventive, prosperous, and generous people.

From around the world, the best from other nations have been attracted to the United States: those who had the courage to risk everything to come breathe the air of freedom; those with talent who simply wanted the chance to prove themselves; those who wanted to give their families a secure and prosperous life.

And so the United States has been a nation of immigrants. And it has been a nation of scientific and technological advancement, of excellence in education, and of the steady lifting of living standards.

The United States has fought wars around the globe to defend freedom, and in times of peace has developed institutions to promote freedom and prosperity throughout the world.

But the excellence of America is now in dispute, and we are in a time of crisis.

The Epoch Times puts out some good articles, but they are also still owned and operated by a weird Chinese cult.

Falun Gong is not a “cult,” even though it is depicted as such by the CCP. They don’t even take donations, don’t even appear to have a system of believe other than a moral teaching and their various meditations, though obviously they make money selling books or putting on their Shun Yen cultural shows.

does anyone subscribe to the Epoch Times?? I received this email and they even send me a paper once in a while. Seriously considering subscribing- anyone have experience with their subscriptions?

Falun Gong is no “weird cult”. Unless you’re a troll.

And Epoch Times is next after Breitbart in my morning new reading schedule.

“Falun Gong is no weird cult”

So you think they are good Bible believing Christians?

I subscribe to it (started a few months ago). A good paper, and articles. Certainly better than the mainstream trash/fishwraps like the NYT, WashPost, etc.
The big problem is carving the time out to read it. A good paper though, and it deserves our support.

I subscribe and I love it. The reporting is well-researched, balanced, and fair. There are different sections, all with great articles. I vote thumbs up. Oh, and I subscribe because our local rag is just a DNC mouthpiece, we have to pay almost double the cover price for national news, and I need to discipline myself to read hard copy, not just a screen!

I subscribe. Very inexpensive, esp compared to papers like the Wall Street Journal, which has lost my trust over the last year anyway.

I subscribe to the digital version. I get several emails a day, each with three or four articles. Most of them are worth reading. I’m not sure if I get those articles because I subscribe or whether anyone could get them. I highly recommend Epoch Times I could read the newspaper on my computer but I don’t because the articles that come via email are enough for me.

I should also add that Epoch Times TV is also very
good. They had an hour and 15 minute video interview of Victor Davis Hansen (the Post-Truth World) recently - and it was excellent.

Reminds me of The Washington Times/Rev. Moon experience.
