A friend recently made me aware of the fact that Falun Gong-backed Epoch Times is running anti-trans ads on the videos of pro-trans YouTubers, and so I’m trying to dig in and find out more about where their money is made. Also, does anyone know of an easy way to obtain this paper?: https://www.pdcnet.org/jrv/content/jrv_2020_0008_0003_0298_0307?file_type=pdf

trueanon's eps on the subject are good

[-] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

Yeah I came here to recommend TrueAnon's three and a half part series on the Falun gong

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

One of their best series imo

I couldn't find a non-paywall'd version of the paper you linked, but if you follow through the links in this article there's a lot of good resources:

I tried all the usual places but couldn't find it either.

If you can find an email for the authors you could likely just ask them for it. Here is the intro to that journal issue: https://www.pdcnet.org/jrv/content/jrv_2020_0008_0003_0213_0220 which can be viewed for free.

True Anon just did a big series about them

I’ve been listening to it all day but I’m still clueless as to where all their money comes from. I suspect :cia: but I’m looking for some kind of evidence of that.

I mean they get all their believers to do free labor for them so it may not take much money to operate anyway.

Nathan Rich had a great video series on it

[-] pooh@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

I haven't heard of this but I'll check it out.
