The only logical conclusion to the problem of "systemic racism" is a complete overhaul. "[Marxism is] not about improving the lot of anyone. It's about power," say Katie Gorka and Mike Gonzalez, authors of "NextGen Marxism." 🔴 PREMIERE 9/24, 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0924MikeKatie

“Eventually, when the debt collector comes knocking, you have to drastically cut back your consumption, even if it's of necessity. You have to cut back in order to try to pay down some of this debt, and it's going to be really, really painful. Now, where the analogy breaks down is the fact that the family can't run a counterfeit operation in their basement and just print pieces of paper and call it money. The federal government can. Now, we call that 'inflation.' But what the Federal Reserve has essentially been doing to help finance this runaway debt for the federal government is to create out of nothing money for the Treasury Department to spend. And when they do that, they devalue the dollar. They are essentially siphoning off a small portion of the value of all the dollars that are in existence and putting it into the new dollars that they create for the Treasury to spend." – EJ Antoni 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/S0912EJAntoni

In this episode, John Lenczowski breaks down why he believes the U.S. government has been intellectually & bureaucratically incapable of engaging in ideological competition with the Chinese Communist Party. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0921JohnLenczowski

"The Chinese regime has killed somewhere between 60 million and 200 million of its own people." The CCP has been conducting a cold war against the U.S. for a long time, and we need to defend against it, says John Lenczowski 🔴 PREMIERE 9/21, 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0921JohnLenczowski

In the last few weeks, many current and former Shen Yun artists have come out to say they’ve been misrepresented by the series of articles published by the NYTimes about the performing arts company. The Epoch Times has been covering Shen Yun for years, and has been a media sponsor, supporting its mission to revive traditional Chinese culture—all but lost in today’s communist China. In this special episode, Jan gives some current and former artists a chance to respond to the allegations and share their stories. https://youtu.be/nmO4b6hvB64

"It really is unusual for someone to survive…People are basically being systematically killed through organ extraction—even when it's not necessary for a particular organ to kill them." - International human rights lawyer David Matas The first known survivor of the Chinese regime's macabre organ trade has recently come forward. Medical examinations revealed Peiming Cheng, a Falun Gong practitioner, was missing a significant portion of his liver and lung. 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0907DavidMatas

"America’s strength has always come from its unique diversity—its willingness to not just permit but encourage competing viewpoints in order to strengthen the whole. The adversarial system, embedded by the Founding Fathers into our system of government, was meant to spur debate, challenge complacency, and drive progress. It has sustained our Republic for over 225 years, but we have to face a sad truth: it has stopped working…Our United States Congress…continues to grow increasingly dysfunctional," wrote former Senate Majority Leaders Trent Lott and Tom Daschle. Their essay is featured at the beginning of Jill Long Thompson's new book, "Across the Aisle." 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0919JillLongThompson

"I think the [El Salvadorian] President, for many, many years - and the presidents before him - attempted to deal with the gang culture in what we would call a more democratic process: the rule of law, arrest, investigation, prosecutions, convictions. But the gang culture or the criminal culture in Latin America, is 100 times more violent than it is in the United States. If we look back at the days of Pablo Escobar, the Cali Cartel, & the Gulf Cartel, [they're] extremely violent cartels who didn't hesitate to kill police officers, judges, & reporters. And we see that same culture in Mexico. You see that same culture in Central America." - Michael Brown 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/S0905MichaelBrown

"We've got to recognize now: the best practices are exactly opposite of what the medical establishment pounded into pediatricians for 15 years." The hubris of the medical establishment puts patients in danger, says Dr. Marty Makary. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0917MartyMakary

"Civil discourse is under threat." Surgeon, professor, and author Dr. Marty Makary says that fighting censorship, control, and a centralized authority is an ongoing battle within the medical profession. 🔴 PREMIERE 9/17, 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0917MartyMakary

“Israel was transformed by the Jews. And it was the transformation - the water galore that was supplied with the desalinization & the drip irrigation, starting with 538 wells drilled in a massive effort [with] bridges & waterworks, all launched in Israel - that made it a magnet for Arabs around the region, and resulted in a massive migration of Arabs… So that's the Israel test. How do you respond to this amazing achievement in the face of six invasions - six wars attempting to completely obliterate Israel?" - George Gilder 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0831GeorgeGilder

From deep fakes to impersonation networks, the CCP is becoming more aggressive and more creative about how they manipulate Americans and other targets online. In one case study, a manipulated video of Rep. Rob Wittman began circulating on TikTok ahead of the Taiwanese election. A big goal of the Chinese regime is to sow discord in target nations. In America, fake accounts linked to China have been found posting incendiary content on both extremes of the political spectrum, says China researcher Sarah Cook. 🔴 PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0914SarahCook

"The way that it's designed, current workers paying for current retirees, it cannot work over time. You just mentioned what kind of debt we're in. Most of the reason we're in that kind of debt is because we keep this Ponzi scheme going. We keep it going, even though, when it was first established, you had 40 workers for every retiree. Today we have three workers for every retiree. You also have people living longer, and you have all people forced into the system that they don't own…and they can't transfer it to their heirs." Star Parker, founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), argues social security in America has major flaws. In this episode, she lays out her vision for social security reform. 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0829StarParker

"I'm arguing, and pleading actually, with parents to push these technologies out of childhood entirely - to say that the smartphone and social media, these technologies are too dangerous and too harmful to children. The harm-reduction measures that big tech and their libertarian allies and even pediatricians have told parents is that you can mitigate these harms with screen time limits and parental controls. And I'm trying to say, that is actually not possible, that the levels and the nature of the harms can't be effectively mitigated by screen time limits and parental controls."

"People were essentially creating businesses that never existed - never employed anybody, but were then allowed, through fraud, to get a check from the gov't." Economic data should not always be trusted, says researcher EJ Antoni. 👉PREMIERE 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0912EJAntoni

"We have been grossly overestimating the number of businesses in the economy and therefore overestimating - it looks like - how many jobs are being added by businesses that, it turns out, don't exist." -EJ Antoni 🔴 PREMIERE 9/12, 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/S0912EJAntoni

“Up until 2016, the evidence was right in front of us, at least if you spoke Chinese or could read Chinese, because hospitals were advertising, in kind of a terrible rendition of a market economy, that you could go there for such and such a price and get a new lung or a new liver or something on 24 hour’s notice. Now, what kind of organ industry can advertise that you can shop around on a very, very short notice to get a vitally needed organ?…It's important for people to realize that hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions of people, if they were taken into police custody, would then be blood-typed…And then, there [were] massive disappearances or long-term incarcerations of members of Falun Gong, of Christians, of Uyghurs, of other groups.” - Eric Patterson 🔴 WATCH FULL on @AmThoughtLeader: https://ept.ms/S0824EricPatterson
