The Joe Polish Show

Joe Polish sits down with Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek for a wide-ranging conversation on information warfare, cognitive liberty, and why inner freedom threatens authoritarian control. They also discuss allegations surrounding forced organ harvesting, propaganda mechanics, and practical resilience practices—from meditation to "touch grass"—for Entrepreneurs living in an increasingly AI-shaped world. Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: How a small team of Chinese-American journalists founded The Epoch Times to expose the lie behind the "China will liberalize" narrative, and why Jan says their mission matters more today than ever. Inside Project 981, the Chinese Communist Party's secret plan for elite "longevity science," and the chilling hot-mic moment between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin that said the quiet part out loud. Jan recounts documented reports on China's forced organ harvesting allegations, including one surgeon's story of discovering the practice after a patient received a new heart in just two weeks. How, according to Jan, Western partnerships in organ transplantation raise serious ethical questions and why he believes cutting ties is a moral imperative. Why Jan warns that today's global battlefield is informational where AI, TikTok, and curated algorithms can be used to shape public perception at scale. Why tyrannical systems fear meditation and faith more than weapons, and how inner stillness becomes an act of rebellion against totalitarian control. How spiritual practice and connection to something higher protect individuals from propaganda, despair, and psychological warfare. The dangerous rise of pathocratic systems where psychopaths rise to power through distorted incentives, and how to stay human in an inhuman age. The line between good and evil that runs through every human heart, and why moral clarity starts with what you choose to fill yourself with each day. From regenerative farming to "touching grass," Jan's surprising solution for reclaiming humanity in a digital world addicted to artificial connection. Why The Epoch Times refuses to be a "bleeds-it-leads" outlet, and how honest journalism can still leave readers more hopeful, not more afraid.
