My hunch is that organ harvesting of Falun Gong and other dissidents really does happen in China. But I don't trust them to be right about too much else.

China harvests organs from executed prisoners.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

They made a business decision to appeal to the MAGA crowd a few years ago. Before that they were a fringe but credible news source with a severe anti-Chinese government bias.

It's becoming redundant.
I heard a big lie on the radio today. Said, "1 in 40 people in Colorado are contagious with the virus".

Falun Gong is just like the MEK in Iran: nobody in either country actually gives a shit but they have a bunch of influence in the West because the CIA funds them in order to stir up dissent at in their respective countries.

Kinda like the people who escape North Korean labour camps in movie-like splendor, move to America, get a huge book deal and touring gig talking about how the evil North Koreans made their mother eat rats.
And then a year later they recant their whole story. Whoops.

So are they making shit up or Nk isn't that bad? I don't pay attention to these things so it's an honest question.

Probably a bit of both.
The easiest story to sell is one of directed persecution. Just ask Christians.
The reality of the world is that 99.999999999% of the time, nobody else gives a shit about you.
Escaping NK isn't easy, and the kind of person that does it is just like any other immigrant: competent and incredibly motivated. Where that motivation comes from, I doubt even the person escaping truly knows. A fear of persecution is a great motivator, regardless if there is true persecution or not.
Further, escaping a militarized dictatorship is a traumatic process. Sure, the soldiers are just doing their jobs, but their job is to shoot you. That seems a lot like directed persecution. After all, you are the hero of your own personal story.
So, having succeeded, you sell that story of persecution. That feeling of accomplishment. And the world loves it. It's a real life hero story.
Then reality sets in. Kim Jong Un isn't calling for your death by name. Nobody actually knows you, and fewer people miss you (considering your family is likely dead, and everyone that knew you is doing their best to forget you before they get arrested). Nobody gives a shit. Life goes on.
That's when you realize that the capitalist paradise you escaped to, while better than a North Korean gulag, still means you will spend a third of your life working to make someone else richer, in the hopes that one day, they might notice you and toss you a piece of their table scraps.

Worker's compensation is the best health insurance in the US.
We got that going for us, which is nice.

It’s both, to what degree we probably won’t ever understand (being Americans subjected to almost exclusively American media).
Just keep in mind how America always portrays its enemies.

Gavin Newsome fails. Hard. Doesn't give any shits about people. Thinks he can control a virus by targeting small business.
It's no wonder Elon Musk moved to Texas.

NIH director: People need to 'hit the reset button' on whatever made them skeptical about vaccine
"The first round of vaccines have prioritized for health care workers and nursing homes. Vaccine trials have indicated the vaccine is 95 percent effective at preventing the coronavirus."
""This is a source of great concern for all of us and I would like to plead just to people who are listening to this this morning to really hit the reset button on whatever they think they knew about this vaccine that might cause them to be so skeptical," said Collins."
Just so everyone is aware. There's Coronavirus-19 which causes SARS-CoV-2 which causes Covid-19 disease(s). Also, "this vaccine", as if referring to only one, understandably seeing only one has been approved. Eventually, there will be others and "this" can no longer be used but rather "these vaccines".
Pfizer expects to report data on whether or not its vaccine stops virus transmission in the first quarter of 2021, Chief Executive Officer Albert Bourla said on Tuesday at a press briefing held by the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations.
Huh.
I can see why people are skeptical. Not to mention whatever adverse reactions that may or may not occur.

Unreal, who does he think he is? I mean, he is buddy-buddy with faucet Fauci.
