(Mary Man/The Epoch Times) VANCOUVER—Renowned Canadian violinist Andrew Dawes enjoyed the visual and aural components of Shen Yun Performing Arts, which when combined seeks to illustrate the beauty of a thousands year old culture said to be inspired by the heavens. “As a musician, I was very pleased with everything, with music and the dance and the production, it’s great, it’s a wonderful show,” he said. “I think all these musicians are doing an excellent job, really a great pleasure to hear you all.” Dawes is known for being first violinist of the Toronto-based Orford String Quartet for almost three decades.

Since then, the company has expanded from one to six contingents that tour the world each year to showcase the wonders of an ancient civilization to modern audiences.

  • Coronavirus News and Information on Youtube: a Content Analysis of Popular Search Terms
    Coronavirus News and Information on YouTube: A Content Analysis of Popular Search Terms Online Supplement Nahema Marchal, Hubert Au, Philip N. Howard Data and Method In this memo, we investigate the type of information users come across when searching for information about the coronavirus on YouTube. We first collected a list of the 10 most frequent YouTube search terms related to the “coronavirus” UK over the last 90 days, using Google Trends on March 10th, 2020. For comparison, we also collected the auto-complete YouTube search suggestions for the term “coronavirus”, using a Google Chrome browser in Incognito Mode. Table 1.

This generated a list of the top 50 video results associated with each search term, ranked by relevance (based on YouTube API documentation). We then examined the most “related” or “recommended videos” for these search queries. This returned a network graph where each edge denoted a

  • Physicians' Association Sues Rep Adam Schiff for Vaccine Censorship
    Here’s another reason we’re not hearing of the Deaths and Injuries by Vaccines. At least the Physicians’ Assn is stepping up and not listening to the vaccine manufacturer’s disinformation. Campaign Financing is the reason disinformation and censorship is being spread. Another reason is the mainstream media’s income is mainly funded by pharmaceutical ads, which they don’t want to jeopardize. The pharmaceutical industry has TOO MUCH INFLUENCE. And now you?! Chris Wrinn Milford, CT 06460 Physicians’ Association Sues Rep Adam Schiff for Vaccine Censorship BY CONAN MILNER, EPOCH TIMES January 31, 2020 Updated: January 31, 2020 https://www.theepochtimes.com/physicians-association-sues-rep-adam-schiff-for- vaccine-censorship_3220485.html A national medical association is suing Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). The case accuses the California Congressman of abuse of power, claiming that he bullied tech companies into censoring information about vaccines. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) filed the suit in a U.S. District Court in D.C. on Jan. 20, 2020. The complaint points to letters Schiff sent to Google, Facebook, and Amazon in February and March of 2019 urging those companies to discredit or deplatform any content that suggests vaccines may be harmful. The letters express Schiff’s concerns about the nation’s declining vaccination rates, and requests that companies take steps to stop what he calls a “growing problem.” “If a concerned parent consistently sees information in their YouTube recommendations that casts doubt on the safety or efficacy of vaccines, it could cause them to disregard the advice of their children’s physicians and public health experts and decline to follow the recommended vaccination schedule,” Schiff wrote.

  • March 16, 2020 Letter to the U.S. Census Bureau and Department Of
    March 16, 2020 Letter to the U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Commerce It is with grave concern that we have found that the U.S. Census Bureau is using the American people’s tax dollars to buy services from what can credibly be described as the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda outlets. We write to you today to encourage you to review this situation and ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not support a government that is fundamentally opposed to the human rights we aspire to. In November 2018, The Hoover Institution at Stanford University published a report titled “Chinese Influence & American Interests,” which “documents the extent of China’s expanding influence operations inside the United States.” For the 2020 census, the Census Bureau has selected a total of 64 print media, 50 TV, and 24 radio stations around the country to be on the Chinese-language media-buy list to reach the Chinese-American community, through an Asian-American media agency (TDW+Co), This media-buy list includes official Chinese official state-owned media, and at least one Chinese radio which is broadcasting without an FCC license, as well as many Chinese-American media outlets controlled or heavily influenced by the Chinese regime. CCP-controlled/influenced media entities are a major tool used by the Chinese government to mislead Chinese communities in U.S. These media outlets spread official CCP propaganda against various religious groups, including Uyghur Muslims, Christians, Tibetans, Falun Gong, and the Church of Almighty God. No U.S. government agencies should allocate any public funding or contracts to support these outlets.

  • Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party - Introduction
    (Updated on January 12, 2005) Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party - Introduction More than a decade after the fall of the former Soviet Union and Eastern European communist regimes, the international communist movement has been spurned worldwide. The demise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is only a matter of time. Nevertheless, before its complete collapse, the CCP is trying to tie its fate to the Chinese nation, with its 5000 years of civilization. This is a disaster for the Chinese people. The Chinese people must now face the impending questions of how to view the CCP, how to evolve China into a society without the CCP, and how to pass The Epoch Times is now publishing a special editori al series, on the Chinese heritage. The Epoch Times is “Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party.” now publishing a special editorial series, “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.” Before the lid is laid on the coffin of the CCP, we wish to pass a final judgment on it and on the international communist movement, which has been a scourge to humanity for over a century. Throughout its 80-plus years, everything the CCP has touched has been marred with lies, wars, famine, tyranny, massacre and terror. Traditional faiths and principles have been violently destroyed. Original ethical concepts and social structures have been disintegrated by force. Empathy, love and harmony among people have been twisted into struggle and hatred. Veneration and appreciation of the heaven and earth have been replaced by an arrogant desire to “fight with heaven and earth.” The result has been a total collapse of social, moral and ecological systems, and a profound crisis for the Chinese people, and indeed for humanity.
