There is always an agenda.
Why would a country that is 20 hours away by airplane want
to put up an advertisement for a Chinese news outlet in Otsego, Michigan?
A giant sign proclaiming "TheEpochTimes.com, #1 Trusted News," accompanied by a prominent photo of some random white guy that looks like Ryan from The Office.
What is their agenda???
I was wrong. It is not from China. (It appeared to be, as it first came up in what appeared to possibly be all Chinese characters). Apparently, the website
is not even allowed on mainland China, as The Epoch Times opposes the
Communist Party.
It is funded by a religious group called Falun Gong, or Falun Dafa. They are described
as “incredibly far-right” – they oppose homosexuality, reject modern science,
promoted QAnon conspiracy theories, and funded advertisements for Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
So, it turns out that the 131-South entry ramp in
Plainwell/Otsego is an idyllic location for this billboard, after all. Small
communities like this where there are still Trump signs, and tattered “Make
America Great Again” flags defiantly flapping in the breeze are perfect areas for
planting additional seeds of extremism, and hurling more gasoline on smoldering embers.
The Agenda is already well underway.
