They lie because we’re too dumb to deal with the Truth!
The Epoch Times was founded by Chinese ex-patriots whose disgust with the tyranny of their former Communist overlords has led them to be staunch “conservative” supporters of the Principles of Freedom of Speech and Conscience.

Systemic Insanity!
I have before me several hundred index cards each referencing an example of the Leftist lunacy that has come to dominate our era. As I cannot possibly write an extended essay on every instance of such, I shall, for the foreseeable future, briefly cite events and individuals you may wish to explore on your own. …

As reported by Tristin Hopper in Canada’s National Post of April 22: A new Health Canada report suggests public health officials should be openly advocating for the toppling of capitalism, Western society and even the very concept of “liberty and individualism.” The three authors of the paper, prepared for Canada’s chief public health official Dr. …
Is there a Vaccine for Hypocrisy?
I don’t understand. Both Donald Trump’s insistence on building a wall along the Mexican border as well as his invocation of Title 42, were widely denounced by the Left as aggressively racist in intent. A response to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic, Title 42 gave border authorities the right to simply return asylum seekers …
