The Chinese regime leveraged its propaganda in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic to spread its totalitarian ideologies to the West, according to former Hong Kong Apple Daily columnist Simon Lee. “When COVID started, China [was] concerned only on one thing—how can they capitalize on this crisis to show the world that China’s system is superior to the rest of the world,” Lee recently told EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program. Lee singled out how the regime highlighted its capability to build a quarantine hospital in a week, “then they propagandized the achievement as ‘this is the Chinese efficiency.’” The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)…

Twitter on Tuesday restored the account of a British doctor known for questioning the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines after telling her the account had been “permanently suspended due to multiple or repeat” rule violations. Dr. Clare Craig, a diagnostic pathologist who has more than 145,000 followers on Twitter, had her account suspended on Sunday without getting an explanation. After she appealed the suspension, Twitter told her on Tuesday that the account had been permanently suspended, hours before restoring it, blaming the incident on a system that “find[s] and remove[s] multiple automated spam accounts in bulk.” Speaking to The Epoch Times on Tuesday afternoon, Craig…

The New Zealand (NZ) government has agreed to acquire 100 percent of Kiwi Group Holdings (KGH), the owner of Kiwibank, for $2.1 billion (US$1.3 billion). KGH has operated under three Crown-owned entities—NZ Post, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), and the NZ Super Fund. Finance Minister Grant Robertson said that while the Crown essentially had full ownership of Kiwibank through the three entities, NZ Post and ACC had sought to withdraw as shareholders due to a divergence in long-term investment plans. Matt Whineray, the chief executive of NZ Super Fund, revealed the company had considered buying some or all of NZ Post’s stake…

A medical Army officer who discovered a sudden increase in disease coinciding with reports of side effects alongside COVID-19 vaccines—which the Army has dismissed as a data glitch—said he faces involuntary separation after being convicted but not punished for disobeying COVID-19 protocol. In January 2022, First Lt. Mark Bashaw, a preventive medicine officer at the Army, started noticing some “alarming signals” within the defense epidemiological database. The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), which tracks disease and injuries of 1.3 million active component service members, showed during the pandemic a significant increase in reports of cancers, myocarditis and pericarditis, as well as…

Following Dr. Anthony Fauci announcing his resignation, Republicans have vowed Congressional investigations into his conduct if they win majority in the House and Senate in November, with many being critical of his leadership decisions lack of transparency through the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci announced on Monday he will resign from his post as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in December, after more than 50 years working in government. “He better have plenty of time on his hands come January, because we’re going to be wanting to talk to him,” said Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) during an Aug.…

Manchester United reduced Liverpool’s heavy metal play to pliant putty in their hands via a staggering transformation after the humiliation of two consecutive losses. How a team trounced 4-0 at Brentford last time out could outfight, out-skill and, most of all, outrun an opponent who defeated them 9-0 on aggregate last term is the definition of sport’s ability to invigorate. On a night where the latest anti-Glazer protests had up to 10,000 marching to Old Trafford, United were a picture of bravery and quality from David de Gea in goal to Marcus Rashford at centre-forward, his second-half strike bookending Jadon…

No 10 and allies of Liz Truss are resisting the idea that people should be asked to cut their energy use, with the government insisting that consumption of gas and electricity is a “decision for individuals”. With the threat of shortages possible this winter, officials have raised the option of the UK public being requested to reduce their energy usage, after countries in the EU including France and Germany were asked to cut gas demand by 15%. People across Europe have been urged to switch off lights and use appliances less often, after all member states apart from Hungary agreed to a voluntary…

A performance of “Ode to Joy” has been canceled after a Scottish choir refused an American orchestra’s demand to wear masks while singing. The 130-person Edinburgh Festival Chorus was due to perform Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony” alongside the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Edinburgh International Festival on Aug 25.

Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony” will now be performed as it does not require a choir. Since April, people in Scotland are no longer legally required to wear face coverings. The Festival described the Philadelphia Orchestra, which has…

Apple employees have hit back at the tech company’s return-to-office orders, and launched a petition saying the firm risked stifling diversity and staff wellbeing by restricting their ability to work remotely. The petition is in response to an all-employee memo from the Apple chief executive, Tim Cook, who last week said workers would have to come into the office for at least three days a week from September, including Tuesdays, Thursdays and a third day to be determined by individual teams. The plan is looser than previous proposals that would have forced staff to return every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with Cook…

Until Sunday Pep Guardiola had won all 10 of his previous Premier League meetings with Eddie Howe but after their 11th encounter resulted in a 3-3 draw of the highest calibre at St James’ Park, the Manchester City manager’s praise for his Newcastle counterpart proved unstinting. “He’s has done a top-class job,” said Guardiola, whose champions were 3-1 down at one point. “You can see his team is growing. Newcastle have everything; they have pace, they have quality. “They made it very physical, it’s a very difficult place to come. We started very well but Newcastle were so aggressive, we didn’t have…
