| WORDS OF WISDOM | | "Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised." | | J.R.R. TOLKIEN | | Good morning. Today, we're covering the brutal persecution of Falun Gong, Evan Gershkovich, and a global IT outage.
Let's dive in. | | TOP NEWS |  | | Dark Anniversary Offers Hope | On this day 25 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the brutal persecution of Falun Gong, a peaceful spiritual discipline that includes meditative exercises and moral guidance centered on the principles of truth, compassion, and tolerance.
With millions illegally detained, hundreds of thousands imprisoned, and more 5,000 documented deaths, the CCP's campaign to eradicate Falun Gong continues to this day. The Chinese regime has been credibly accused of killing practitioners to harvest their organs. Meanwhile, the CCP's repression has extended beyond its own borders, with instances of a sabotage, violence, and intimidation documented across several continents.
But there is a bright side to the sobering anniversary. Falun Gong practitioners around the world have persisted amid the repression and use large-scale global events on July 20 to expose the persecution and the CCP's lies. | | | |  | | WSJ Reporter Sentenced | A Russian court on Friday sentenced Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich to 16 years in prison on espionage charges. The Journal, the U.S. government, and people who support Mr. Gershkovich have called the case a sham.
Mr. Gershkovich was arrested in Yekaterinburg in March last year and accused of spying for the CIA. Moscow has never publicly presented any evidence to back up the claim. The Kremlin had confirmed in June that negotiations were ongoing for a potential prisoner swap.
In the year following the arrest, the Wall Street Journal mounted a campaign for the release of the journalist, with coverage of his detention and trial figuring prominently at the top of the publications front page. Mr. Gershkovich is the first American journalist to be arrested on espionage charges since the Cold War. Prior to his arrest, he filed insightful reports on the state of Russian society amid the Kremlin's war with Ukraine. | | | |  | | Global IT Outage | A massive global computer outage struck airports, banks, government offices, emergency systems, office workers, and virtually every other type of business. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike said that a software update it issued for computers running on the Windows operating system was at the root of the problem. George Kurtz, the CEO of CrowdStrike, said the company took responsibility for the outage and that a fix has been released.
The problems persisted through the day on Friday with flights grounded, 911 emergency hotlines out of order, and Social Security offices closing for the day across the nation. As of noon Eastern Time, the total number of global flight delays due to the worldwide tech outage reached more than 30,000, according to FlightAware.
The White House said President Joe Biden was receiving updates about the outages. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned that bad actors may try to exploit the chaos, including with phishing emails. | | | | How do you like our new sections?

Killing 9 out of 10 Americans by starvation and societal collapse". Imagine a blackout lasting not days, but months. That's why many Americans are taking matters into their own hands and are securing their own solar powered generator. Our top recommendation in portable solar generators is the Patriot Power Generator. | | EPOCH TV | | | | | | OPINION | | | | | | EPOCH FUN | | | |
