🚨The CCP runs a multi-billion-dollar industry built on killing prisoners for their organs—including tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners. How is it possible for such a macabre industry to exist? Many in the West can’t fathom it. But as China researcher Matthew Robertson explained to me: “They created a market in the organs of their political enemies. They were filling a demand, because the demand for organs is very big, and if you just have these people detained, you can make them effectively slave laborers—or you could monetize them by converting their bodies into organs. So it's rational under the conditions of that system,” he argues. The regime not only profits from this gruesome trade, it also wins praise as a “global leader” in transplant medicine, publishing research in top journals worldwide. https://rumble.com/v6zsavo-how-the-ccp-created-a-market-in-the-organs-of-their-political-enemies-matth.html

The CCP has "created a market in the organs of their political enemies," says China researcher Matthew Robertson. After years investigating China’s murder-for-organs regime, he uncovered 71 cases where Chinese medical papers openly recorded violations of the dead donor rule. 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://youtu.be/o1nx8L0kWOs

🚨Is America at a spiritual crossroads right now? “We are living at a turning point right now…We have been in a period of really serious crisis and decline…The riots of 2020 and the disasters of the COVID pandemic and its aftermath were just a final kind of explosion that had been building and boiling for decades. …What's remarkable is that we seem to have now come out of it and passed through into something quite different…away from this kind of oikophobia, this revolutionary Jacobinite spirit. …The energy seems to be in the direction of recovering and rebuilding some of our most profound traditions, these wisdom traditions of Athens in Jerusalem. You're starting to see a return to—if not traditional religion—to sort of spiritual ideas of something other than just the raw materialism that has dominated for so long.” Spencer Klavan, author of “How to Save the West” 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/46PlU0n

🚨Nearly all of the meat in America (99% of chickens, 98% of pigs, and 70% of cows) come out of factory farms that are heavily dependent on antibiotics, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Fewer than 2% of farms reject chemical inputs and are actually rebuilding soil and ecosystems rather than depleting them. Regenerative farmer Joel Salatin argues that what America desperately needs is a Food Emancipation Proclamation. His proposal is simple: remove the regulatory barriers that prevent small, chemical-free farms from innovating and selling directly to their neighbors. Healthy, chemical-free local food prices would drop 30–40%, he says. Ordinary families—not just the wealthy—would be able to afford real, healthy food. Thousands of young farmers would finally be able to make a living on small acreage. And millions of consumers would have the freedom to walk away from the industrial system. https://rumble.com/v6zq7os-joel-salatin-why-america-needs-a-food-emancipation-proclamation.html

“In my lifetime, I have watched this erosion of farmer access to retail dollars. Meanwhile we’re seeing farmers go out of business hand over fist,” says Joel Salatin. A morass of red tape is making it almost impossible for small farms to compete with industrial farms, he says. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/46vUTQJ

“Trump's executive order to restore classical architecture: I think that speaks to a certain instinct he has for people's hunger for these forms that have endured and survived for a reason, and that maintain their beauty because they connect with the eternal. There's a reason why brutalism goes out of date and those classical buildings still look as beautiful as ever.” - Spencer Klavan, author of “How to Save the West” https://rumble.com/v6zpsro-the-human-desire-for-beauty-in-architecture-spencer-klavan.html

“People are starting to realize that you can only scream and yell and tear down statues and set things on fire for so long before things start to get really bad, and at a certain point you have to actually be constructive, and you have to build.” - Spencer Klavan, author of “How to Save the West” 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/from-cultural-revolution-to-cultural-revival-spencer-klavan-on-how-to-save-the-west-5921904?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=AmericanThoughtLeaders&utm_term=SpencerKlavan

Eric Trump recalls what his father told him right after he was convicted with 34 felony counts: "As soon as we got in the car, he looked at me, he goes: 'I don't know how, but we're going to win.' …And he wasn't just talking about the court case…but the overall election. …You had every press member in the back of those courtrooms, and they were giving him a 0% chance. And it's funny, in his early life, he wrote 'The Art of the Deal.' Then his second book was 'The Art of the Comeback,' talking about obviously, his business career in the 90s, when everybody thought he was down and out. And it's like the perfect parallel. …No one would ever have thought a guy who was just charged with 91 felony convictions—for doing nothing wrong, but because you had a system that was totally weaponized against you—could ultimately become president. And not only do you become president, you won every swing state, you won the popular vote… 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/42dntDT

"They wanted to see us bankrupt. They wanted to see my father in jail. They wanted to see me in jail. They wanted to see the Trump name off of every building around the globe. They wanted to break up our relationships. They wanted to break up the family ties I have with my siblings. …They raided our homes. They tried to impeach him. …They weaponized the DOJ. They spied on his campaign. They made up the Russia hoax. …Then they had how many indictments? 91 indictments in Fulton County, in deep left New York City, and in Washington, DC. They took his mug shot. And then they tried to kill him.” Eric Trump on his new memoir “Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation.” 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/42dntDT

Jan Jekielek asked Eric Trump if he’d ever run for office. Here’s what he told us: “I would never rule anything out.” “This stuff requires real backbone as they try and literally and figuratively kill you in every aspect of your soul and your company and your family and your marriage and everything else. And so I think it armored us in a unique way. …I think I could do it. But the question is, do you want to? We've seen the greatest parts of politics. We've certainly seen the worst parts…worse than probably most can ever imagine. …If the stars ever aligned, and that was the right calling for me at the time, I'd consider it." https://rumble.com/v6zjzni-does-eric-trump-ever-plan-to-run-for-office.html

"This stuff requires real backbone as they try and literally and figuratively kill you in every aspect of your soul and your company and your family and your marriage and everything else," says Eric Trump. His new memoir is titled "Under Siege: My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation" “It's the thousands of stories behind the scenes of how they try to dismantle our family and the greatest political movement in American history,” he says. 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/42dntDT

"Let us at least look at the truth and find the truth. If we're right, we're right. If we're wrong, we're wrong.…You should never be afraid of basic research," says Dr. Ryan Cole. He's calling on the NIH to fund large-scale studies on the rise in cancers since 2021 and to find out whether they're linked to the COVID-19 genetic vaccines. 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/4mzZIgI

“The thing I'm most hopeful about is transparency. Over the last several months, we've seen the Overton Window shift on things that we never would have talked about before. …The conversation has now shifted to things that have been tucked away in databases of the CDC or databases of the FDA. …I would encourage people not to give up hope, because I think things are going to continue to accelerate in terms of the changes that are coming,” says Dr. Ryan Cole https://rumble.com/v6zgusc-dr.-ryan-cole-explains-dangers-of-self-amplifying-mrna-products.html

“The problem is the delivery system. You can't target these modified mRNA technologies. They go everywhere in the body. That's the problem. The cells that end up making the protein… are now a target of your own immune system to attack,” says pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole. He argues that mRNA products, especially self-amplifying technology, should be banned from routine use in both humans and animals. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4mzZIgI

"There's a vast network of destructive laws and policies in South Africa: the race laws, the threats to property rights, what they call the Expropriation Act, and we can go down the list. There's just so many examples. But it's easy to make the mistake to think that we should change some of these policies and that would provide a solution to South Africa, or we should just get someone else to be the President of South Africa and then the country would be fixed, or we should vote in one of the opposition parties and then all of this would be over. If you think about it for just a moment, you would recognize that these problems would still be there, because it's a structural problem. And the structural problem could be summarized by saying that it's a very big country, it's a very diverse country, but it has an extremely centralized political system, a political system - some people call it an oligarchy - that is very disconnected from realities on ground level.” - Ernst Roets 🔴 WATCH:https://ept.ms/3IFuoPz

"Farm murders are a very serious problem in South Africa. The response to that is to say, 'Well, there are many problems in South Africa, so why are you pointing to this one?' But the fact of the matter is that it's a very unique problem, and it's a problem that could only be prevented or combated by a unique counter strategy. …One is the extreme frequency at which it's happening - just the sheer numbers - thousands of people have been murdered on farms. …The second is the brutality, the high levels of torture. …On top of this, what makes the farm murders exceptionally unique is that it's a very serious crime phenomenon that is also actively encouraged by politicians.” - Ernst Roets https://rumble.com/v6zdhwc-farm-killings-and-torture-in-south-africa-explained-ernst-roets.html 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/how-race-based-policies-are-harming-south-africa-ernst-roets-5898781?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=AmericanThoughtLeaders&utm_term=ErnstRoets

“South Africa moved from one race-based system to another race-based system...We need to move away from race-based systems,” says Lex Libertas founder Ernst Roets. While many have highlighted the killings of farmers in South Africa, this violence is emblematic of much broader problems, he says. South Africa’s murder rate is among the highest in the world—more than seven times higher than the global average. And race-based policies and distribution of wealth are having a serious deleterious effect, Roets says. In this episode, Roets breaks down why he believes South Africa’s current political system is fundamentally not sustainable. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/how-race-based-policies-are-harming-south-africa-ernst-roets-5898781?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=AmericanThoughtLeaders&utm_term=ErnstRoets

John Adams once said: America's Constitution was made "only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." "If we want to make America great again, we have to make America godly again," argues pastor @JacksonLahmeyer. "All of us are capable of much greater than what we believe we can achieve, but all of us are also capable of much worse than what we think we would ever do, and so we've got to guard our hearts, guard our minds…because there is an enemy out there that wants to corrupt your mind," Lahmeyer says. "That's why I bring up the social media thing consistently…If you're feeding yourself this rage, this anger, this hatred, you're going to become rageful, you're going to become hateful…You are what you consume in your mind.” 🔴 WATCH FULL:https://ept.ms/47SIJ5t

"America lost a legend…an ambassador to an entire generation. I called him America's youth pastor. …We have to ask the question: how now shall we live in the aftermath of what just took place, because it's awful. Not just the assassination, but the response by so many fellow Americans who are celebrating his death, who are mocking his death… Our culture is in desperate need of healing and restoration. …Charlie Kirk was so vocal about his faith, and he was so effective…Charlie would reach you in your mind, but also he'd reach you in your heart, because Charlie cared about people. The person was not the enemy. The idea might have been the enemy, but the person was not the enemy. …And so that resonated with people…They understood: 'He doesn't hate me. He actually cares about me. He's listening to me. He just disagrees with the ideas that maybe I have.' …That's why Charlie was taken out, because he was so good at reasoning with people. …So no, Charlie Kirk's approach did not 'fail.' It was extremely successful, and it's the model that we need to adopt moving forward if we're going to bring healing and restoration to the country. It's the only way." - Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer https://rumble.com/v6z8gp4-america-lost-a-legendan-ambassador-to-an-entire-generation-pastor-jackson-l.html
