Billboards in the Twin Cities

Anyone else see a rise in Falun Gong-associated billboards lately in the Twin Cities. The whole "Shen Yun" performance and now some of them promoting the Epoch Times as "#1 Trusted News".

They want to recreate Rev Moon’s successful use of the power he held over the Republican Party when he was alive. Sad.

It appears connected to a US Falon Gong cult based in New York.

Whenever I see a person trying to sell tickets I know they are moonies. And if I see an article from epoch times I stop reading it.

They now add the words "Truth and Tradition" along with the bullshit "#1 Trusted News".

So, I'm not surprised to see the billboards. They must have a big following here. I even got a flyer in the mail. The thing I noticed on the flyer was the phrase "How China was before Communism"

I recall the Shen Yun yearly event, but now with the "#1 Trusted News" horseshit billboards, I was irked.

I know there's nothing that can be done, but they still irritate me.
