“We haven’t even begun to be told the full story, which means the truth about January 6,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) at a screening of the new EpochTV documentary “The Real Story of January 6 Part 2: The Long Road Home” in the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 9, 2024. After the screening, I hosted a panel discussion with experts William Shipley, a 21-year DOJ prosecutor turned defense attorney who is representing a number of Jan. 6 defendants; national security expert and former national intelligence strategist Tom Speciale; Heritage Institute Oversight Project director Mike Howell; Sarah McAbee, the wife of a Jan. 6 detainee who’s been separated from her husband for years in the wake of his arrest; and Epoch Times senior investigative reporter Joseph Hanneman, host and writer of the documentary.

“How is it possible that the churches, or many churches, decided to close their doors exactly during those times when they were supposed to have their doors open?” Cristian Terhes is a Romanian-Greek Catholic priest and a Member of the European Parliament, representing Romania as a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group. Growing up under communism made him vigilant against creeping totalitarianism. “You will have unelected officials, bureaucrats, often unknown bureaucrats, deciding on behalf of your state. And if they decide that something is wrong for the people, they will not be accountable because you don’t even know who those people are,” says MEP Terhes. In this episode, he shares a warning about the consolidation of power he sees in international bodies like the European Union and the World Health Organization. “We are witnessing the ‘Chinafication’ of Europe. And I gave the example of the digital COVID certificate, but it did not stop there,” says MEP Terhes. We discuss the cultural and political transformation of Europe since the start of the COVID pandemic, from radical gender policy to the erosion of national constitutions.

How Western Europe is Copying Communist China’s Policies: MEP Cristian Terhes

“The greener we get, the more dependent we are on China, and they’re taking advantage of it. That is part, I think, of their 100-Year Plan. They don’t want to go to war with anyone, they’re just going to own our economy.” What has been the result of the West’s current energy and climate policies? Has our planet become cleaner? Or greener? Or have our economies weakened, and our products cheapened?  “China is burning fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow. And the Biden administration is doing everything it can to reduce fossil fuel use in the United States,” says Steve Milloy, senior fellow at the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute. “You have this European climate movement, which has been funded by Putin to block Europe from producing its own energy. The other side knows what the West’s weaknesses are, and they fund them—and much to our detriment.” He argues that the Biden administration is putting independent oil companies out of business, and that contrary to reducing carbon emissions, the West has merely exported them to hostile actors. “Exxon Mobil and Chevron ... last year they announced $110-billion worth of purchases of smaller companies who have been weakened by Biden policies,” says Mr. Milloy.

This is a national [and] global crisis. We should look into it.’ But there’s silence on it, and I believe they’re silent because they know the answer.” Edward Dowd was a Wall Street executive working as a growth portfolio manager for BlackRock. Utilizing his skills in recognizing fraud and interpreting statistics, he started compiling and analyzing data on injury and death associated with the COVID-19 genetic vaccines. “We applied what we did in finance to what we’re seeing in the populations across the globe in disability. So, we’re just measuring using our statistical tools to figure out when trends change. We saw excess death trend up in ‘21 and ‘22 and ‘23, and disabilities just really take off in ‘21,” says Mr. Dowd. He recently testified in the Senate about his findings, which are documented in his book, ‘“Cause Unknown:” The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022.’ “If you look at the the stock prices of Pfizer and Moderna ... they’re at critical junctures in their technical stock prices,” says Mr. Dowd. “In fact, Pfizer, I think, is now below its pre-COVID price.” How have the number of excess deaths and disabilities changed given the low booster uptake in America today? What about in other countries? “The booster uptake in the U.S. is quite low now. So, the good news is there seems to be a declining trend in excess mortality—not [in] disability so much, unfortunately,” says Mr. Dowd.

Shocking Number of Excess Deaths, Disabilities, and Injuries Revealed: Edward Dowd

In 1997, the Chinese communist regime labeled Uyghur human rights activist Dolkun Isa a “criminal,” and put him on Interpol’s list of most dangerous fugitives. After 9/11, they added another label: “Terrorist.” He has been detained and expelled at the border of multiple countries, and narrowly escaped being extradited back to China. He’s the author of “The China Freedom Trap: My Life on the Run.” In this episode, he exposes the harrowing effects of the long arm of Chinese transnational repression.
