Paying my dues
I finally broke down and subscribed to the Epic Times. Of all the sources that turn up in my news feed or Twitter stream, that’s the one I follow links to the most. It’s spicy, but not too spicy.
I know, I know – it’s Falun Gong, about which I don’t know a whole lot except what I read in the Wikipedia article: that they follow one man who they believe is “a God-like figure who can levitate, walk through walls and see into the future.” It’s still a good newspaper.
A reminder that the Washington Times was originally the Moonies and Moon thought Jesus came to him and personally asked him to spread the word. It is and always has been pretty mainstream right.
What it is with far East personality cults and conservative media, I do not know.
I’ve been feeling like I should give money to the sources I use most. I try, but it’s like most shareware – you can have 90% of it for free, or you can have all of it for $100. That goes zero to sixty a little fast for me.
Anyway, they offered me three months for £9.99 so we’ll see how it goes.
The illustration is the Five Exercises of Falun Gong. I don’t know anything about them, either, but can’t resist goofy Chinese hoo-ha like Buddha Showing a Thousand Hands.
