Speaking of investigations and foreign influences, I found this interesting. I think we all know a certain useless-idiot who's fond of linking to the Epoch Times.
Well, guess what?

That site is
nuts. It's funded by a Chinese end-times cult, Falun Gong, which is trying to take down China's government. Their leader claims the ability to fly and walk through walls, and -- much like Scientology -- they think that evil aliens are inhabiting humans and controlling them. And they think that Trump was sent from Heaven to destroy China's government, which is why they promote him so heavily.
They're the biggest pro-Trump spender on Facebook and the biggest spreader of QAnon nonsense on YouTube. They are as fake as fake news gets... they just flat-out make up things. They traffic in propaganda and promote completely insane conspiracy theories, and basically enslave their cultists to make them write reams of propaganda articles.
The Onion is closer to an actual newspaper than this thing. And Trump is helping to push them because he doesn't care about truth, he just cares about being flattered. FOX News also passes on some of the Epoch Times's whacky fabrications as "news stories."
The fact that this scam papers is growing in influence in conservative circles shows you how off-the-rails they are now. They'll believe
anything, buy into any scam, all because they hate "liberals." They have
zero clue what empirical truth is -- they just find a source that says what they like to believe and tell themselves
that's "the truth," and then they stop thinking.
If you run into a conservative, see if you can get them to trade you their car for a handful of magic beans. You stand a good chance of going home with a new car...
