For decades, Americans were told that the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the triumph of freedom & the end of totalitarianism. Yet communism is NOT a ghost of the 20th century. It is a living threat, creeping into our culture, our economy & even our classrooms, write @mschlapp & @GordonGChang.
Check out my conversation with @JanJekielek of the @EpochTimes on:
♦️the new era of transatlantic cooperation 🇱🇻🇺🇸
♦️why Latvia invests 5% of GDP in defense
♦️why the US and Europe both have a stake in lasting peace in Ukraine.

I discuss all of this in my upcoming book: "Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary," coming in Feb via Skyhorse.
This macabre industry is also the PERFECT foil for understanding the CCP👇[2/2]

🚨Xi and Putin Hot Mic: “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality.”
The Chinese regime's ability to deliver unlimited, on-demand organs for CCP elites and wealthy transplant tourists—via its multi-billion dollar industry of large scale forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, is in fact "the development."
That's not even considering the probability of their use of those same prisoners of conscience, Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghurs who are treated by the regime as less-than-human, for wanton longevity "research" purposes.
No wonder Xi can muse, “Predictions are, this century, there’s a chance of also living to 150.” [1/2]
“China’s government has once again shown its disregard for the rule of law and international norms,” said FBI Director Wray.
Federal prosecutors charged 2 men with attempting to bribe a public official in a scheme to help the #CCP “topple” #FalunGong. https://t.co/OF1PEx9Lkw
Rep @DebbieLesko told me she was "appalled" by @TikTok's Shou Zi Chew's answer about Uyghur persecution in #China
“I asked a simple yes or no question—did he agree that the Chinese government has persecuted the Uyghur population? Yet, he refused to answer my question multiple times." @HouseCommerce

.@Sarah_G_Cook: 130 news outlets (identified by @FreedomHouse) have partnered with #CCP state propaganda media to produce CCP-positive content.
The CCP has also had success in:
👉Periodically quashing key stories.
👉Establishing dominance over Chinese media globally.

"A bill aimed at combating the Chinese regime’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting [Read: the #CCP's murder-for-organs industry] has cleared the committee and is headed for a vote on the House floor."
🔥by @EvaSailEast. H.R. 1154, also known as the "Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2023," passed unanimously through the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Feb. 28 and is now advancing to the House floor.
The bill would require sanctions on perpetrators that bar their entry to the United States and block their financial transactions on U.S. soil. It would also require the U.S. Secretary of State to report to Congress on organ transplant abuses committed in foreign countries.

🚨 ARSON in #HongKong: Masked men set fire to the @EpochTimes Hong Kong printshop. 🚨
Staff managed to put out the fire, but only after effecting significant damage. #CCP involvement suspected, given @hk_epochtimes truthful and transparent coverage of the #HongKongProstests.
"Congress will not sit by while Facebook hinders the @EpochTimes‘ efforts to overcome Chinese persecution," @RepJimBanks wrote.
"By prohibiting the Epoch Times from advertising, you have indirectly aided the Chinese Communist Party …"

Proud of #HongKong edition of @EpochTimes (at bottom leftmost corner), for speaking truth to power despite facing enormous pressure from local pro-Beijing forces
