Falun Gong? The people on the street handing out fliers seem nice enough and I admire their dedication and idealism. Not certain what to believe about China beyond noting that Western governments care nothing about organ-harvesting in China or anywhere else if mention of the subject puts profits at risk. Infowars is entertaining, but a worry too. The psyops-industrial complex dominates a lot of the 'alternative' spectrum. At the very least, Alex Jones has protection from above, so disseminating a bit of propaganda every now and again is probably just his way of paying his dues.
