Billboards claiming to be number one trusted News ads offering a glimpse of China before communism unsolicited newspapers showing up at people's doors from London to Los Angeles people holding banners with photos of organ harvesting in public squares across the world a secretive compound in Upstate New York all of these link back to just one man lee hunga the Living God of a religion he founded in the '90s fallong gong what began as a simple form of meditation evolved into a sprawling Global propaganda Network one that attacks China lgbtq people immigrants and modern medicine and believes that Donald Trump is a Killer Angel sent to Vanquish the Demonic forces bringing the
apocalypse this is the story of how a man who claimed to be God built a misinformation Empire and made millions of her fear and fate that the trantaloids were abducting mutilating cows to develop antitoxins for them this video is sponsored by give directly visit give directly. orgo to send Cash Direct directly to families in need more on that later this is chiong it's a mix of traditional Chinese slow moving exercises breathing and meditation people do for perceived spiritual and health benefits Tai Chi is a form of chiong that you probably already know during the 1980s China experienced a chiong boom hundreds of millions of Chinese people started practicing ch regularly in Parks across the country and chiong Masters became celebrities
the Chinese government gave chiong State backing hoping that it would reduce healthcare costs in 1992 Le hongcha left his job in a Serial Factory and began his own chiong practice called fallong gong also known as Fon dafa it roughly means law wheel exercise but fallong gong arrived late to the boom if Lee wanted to stand out he needed to offer something special Chong Masters usually offered healing as a benefit for their techniques Lee didn't just offer a cure from illness though he offered spiritual salvation Lee said the cause of illness was Karma and that practicing Fong gong listening to Lee and following his moral code would burn off Karma which would improve health and help his devoted
disciples reach Paradise through a process called consummation around 1994 Lee began to Fashion himself not just as a Chong master but as a religious leader and then as a God he said that he was better than Buddha and Jesus who are actually his disciples he claimed that he created the Earth and established the music of mankind Lee said that he had control over law bodies which allowed him to control reality and read people's thoughts his law bodies would protect his disciples from harm even if a car hit them but if you tried to test this and stepped in front of a car he would not protect you because his true followers would just believe him Lee claimed that his Advanced disciples would develop Supernatural powers like
the ability to levitate and see true walls they would live in perfect health they would be better than other humans referred to as Ordinary People in Fong gong Lee must always be called Master no disciple is allowed to explain or interpret Le teachings and they must say as the master says before quoting during the 1999 interview with Time Magazine Lee revealed many people had learned to levitate just like him David Copperfield for example just to clarify no one has ever seen Lee levitate and David Copperfield can't levitate either in that same interview Lee spoke about how since the beginning of this Century aliens have begun to invade the aliens want the human body the aliens will take
the opportunity to replace the human soul and by doing so they will enter Earth and become earthlings Lee also claimed that there was a 2 billion-year-old nuclear reactor hidden in gaboon which proved the existence of ancient alien cultures there is no such thing in gaboon instead there's a weird natural phenomenon with uranium and algae going on in gaboon Google it's it's it's pretty cool Lee claimed that aliens had introduce airplanes computers and science everyone thinks that scientists invent on their own when in fact the inspiration is manipulated by the aliens however Lee's most important claim is that there is a horrific apocalypse rapidly approaching and the practicing Fong gong and only Fong gong
would save people from destruction non-followers were irredeemable and would face destruction in a horrific manner Lee claimed that bad morals would bring the end times feminism rock music and in his words repulsive homosexuality were the worst offenders Lee claimed that the God's first Target of annihilation would be homosexuals it's not me who would destroy them but Gods can't tolerate their existence Lee claimed that heaven is racially segregated and so mixed race people have no heaven to go to and so are abandoned by the gods to Lee race mixing was another alien plot because Lee teaches that practicing Fong gong cures all illnesses taking medicine in Fong gong is seen as a lack of Fate one ex Fang
disciples said it's their belief that they don't need medicine because they're superum beings a daughter of one follower said that her mother stopped taking her blood pressure medication after joining Fong gong she died shortly after if it wasn't for fallong gong she'd still be with us it would have taken two tablets a day and she would still be with us this happened so frequently that Lee claimed that new followers who joined Fong gong and then suddenly died were demons sent to damage fund dafa despite his stranger claims Le's Promises of perfect health and salvation were a huge success Lee began raking in millions of dollars Lee claimed that he had 100 million followers by 1999 in reality it was
probably between 2 and 10 million in the late '90s Chinese journalists and scientists began debunking chiang's claims and exposing corrupt chiong Masters in response to increasing criticism Lee relocated permanently to the United States in 1998 unlike other Chong groups Fong's response to any negative coverage was to Counterattack between 1996 and mid 1999 they held over 300 protests just one typical example involved 2,000 protesters surrounding Beijing television after there a documentary about a Fang gong disciple that became psychotic the pressure led the station to fire the reporter responsible for the documentary pamong gong urged the Chinese government to censor their opponents Beijing enforced
a media blackout on criticism of Fong gong well a university magazine in Tien Jin in April of 1999 published a negative article on Fong gong anyway in response 6,000 Fang gong protesters occupied the university for 3 Days demanding a retraction which the editors refused China sent in the police which provoked a riot resulting in around 45 arrests the fallong gong wanted the criticism to stop and demanded the release of those arrested in the riot so on the early morning of the 25th of April 1999 10,000 fangang protesters surrounded beijing's Jong nangai compound which housed the Communist Party of China Central Committee this is the fairy heart of Chinese politics they stayed for about 12 hours until the
Chinese Premier told the protesters that they would address their grievances the sheer number of followers summoned by Lee combined with the Chinese intelligence failure to anticipated rattled the Chinese State this was taken as a direct threat and proved to be a deadly mistake in July of 1999 China banned fallong gong and declared an evil cult they issued an arrest warrant for Lee but he was already in the United States thousands of his followers left behind in China were rounded up detained the road trial and subjected to brutal beatings torture and in many cases death in custody a practice which continues to today until this Crackdown fallong gong was mostly unknown in Western medium now
with the international Spotlight on him Lee mastered the art of manipulating the Western press who were always eager for more stories of China's oppression he told his followers to just talk about the persecution we've suffered don't talk to ordinary people about our spiritual beliefs tell them that were just doing exercises they will immediately support you West their media received most of their information about F gong from the rat Media Group the ratland Media Group is managed by Gail ratlin one of Lee's most devoted disciples which means the Western press was getting their information about fallong gong from fallong gong the Western media embraced Lee calling him a family values nostalgist with round soft
buddha-like features and smiling Brown Eyes in 1999 six countries nominated Lee for the Nobel Peace Prize and the Western press without any question quoted Lee saying that he had no role in the protest and was unaware that it would even occur however the Chinese reported that Lee arrived in China on April 22nd and stayed for 2 days over a month after denying this Lee admitted that this was correct he was in China on the eve of the protest and he most likely directed it before returning to the US to avoid the consequences the Chinese State through its brutal Crackdown on Fong gong gifted Lee a necessary piece of his apocalyptic vision for years Lee claimed that the apocalypse is around the corner but the
cause was always kept vague now he claimed that the Communist Party of China were a group of demons sent by the old God Gods to destroy the world the Chinese State offered to end their violent Detention of Fong disciples if they signed a document recanting their fate and stopped publicly protesting Lee demanded that his followers in China continue to confront the state he said that by suffering their Bad Karma is burnt off guaranteeing them a place in his paradise Lee called those unwilling to suffer torture malignant tumors and Lee planned this torture as a test to expose them when this test concludes all bad people will be destroyed by gods those da disciples who are able to come
through the test will leave through consummation those people who will be left behind will have to eradicate sins by paying with horrible suffering from New York Lee praised followers willing to lose their human lives Lee demanded that they make sacrifices that he himself was not willing to make from 2000 onwards Le's messages to his followers became increasingly harsh this created a conflict Loop Lee wanted to use his followers to collapse the Chinese State and China consistently reacted with violence at this point fallong gong had transformed into a fully-fledged cult centered on a charismatic leader exploiting his followers by asserting that he was a God he maintained control through instilling fear of an impending
apocalypse and his apparent mindreading Powers insisting that only he and his religion could save Humanity after being banned in China Fong continued to try and silence its critics for example they tried to sue the Ackland children's Christmas parade trust because they weren't allowed to march in the children's Christmas parade Fang gong members harassed the trust chairman so severely he had to hire private security Fang gong lost that coure case Fang gong have filed over 100 different lawsuits since 2001 in many countries across the world and they've lost most but much like Scientology they mostly use lawsuits as a harassment technique to silence perceived critics in 2001 fallong gong
launched the global internet Freedom Consortium or GFC they've recruited over 50 computer scientists from Google NASA and Microsoft all Fong gong disciples who would work for free by 2002 they were hacking TV stations across China to display Pro felong gong messages they also developed freegate a software tool to bypass China's internet restrictions this work attracted Washington's attention who through the United States Agency for Global Media or us AGM funneled millions of dollars to the gifc after a Republican senator Tren to delay State Department appointments unless more funds were allocated to the gifc the US Congress earmarked $30 million for them in 2010 alone this improved the
Fong gong's finances and allowed the US government to broadcast their state run media like Voice of America and radio free Asia into China Fong gong's campaign against China attracted the attention of Mark Palmer speechwriter for Ronald Reagan and Henry Kissinger and founder of the National Endowment for democracy an organization set up under President Ronald Reagan the idea was that the National Endowment for democracy would do somewhat overtly what the CIA have been doing covertly for decades the National Endowment for democracy funded by the US Congress funds what it describes as pro-democracy groups in countries like China Cuba and Thailand it has also funded anti-labor
Union movements within the US and helped overthrow Haiti's democratically elected government it provides no financial support to Pro democracy efforts within us allies like Saudi Arabia a brutal absolute monarchy Palmer founded the friends of The fallong Gong an organization whose primary source of funding is the American government from 2004 to 2015 the friends of the Fong gong transferred nearly $3 million a year to the Fong gong they lobbying pressur the bush and Obama administrations to provide tens of millions of dollars to fallong gong affiliate organizations much of this funding went to sounds of Hope radio new Tang Dynasty television Shen and the epoch times all fallong gong run media the Canadian government through
the Canada media fund provides funds through media for Canada's ethnic minorities from 201 10 to 2016 the fallong gong owned new tangang television received almost 18 million of Canadian public funds all other ethnic media Outlets received just $13 million in funding the Fong gong and Lee were now incredibly well funded and had important political connections they used this to build Empire if you drive just 2 hours outside of New York City into the dense forest of the shanuk mountains you'll come across a gorgeous lake with ancient Chinese style temples this is Dragon Springs also known as the mountain this is mastery's guarded secretive and tax exemp compound Dragon Springs has expanded into a massive 400 acre complex
much of it paid for by the friends of The fallong Gong and therefore the US taxpayer Dragon Springs received $615,000 from the friends of The fallong Gong in 2014 alone the local residents nearby report Relentless expansion including plans for a 920 seat musical 1,100 spaces car park and housing for 500 people the local Deer Park rural Alliance has opposed these developments for years claiming that Dragon Springs expands without permits and threatens the local ecosystem and rivers with waste I contacted the deer paral Alliance who stated that many residents still have a lot of questions doubts and concerns on the expansion as well as the safety and oversight of the facilities
and the lack of transparency after a local resident Grace Woodard founded the rural Alliance the Fang gong affiliate newspaper the epoch times ran a story inferring that she was working on behalf of China and shed photos of her mailbox online at Dragon Springs in 2006 Lee created a new tool to help spread his message a dance troop called Shen Yun if you live in a major city you've most likely walked by one of their ads with colorful dancers in incredible poses promising to show you China before communism from New York City to taipe shenyun dancers flip and toss sleeves on stage in incredible routines that combine dance and religious anti-communist propaganda shows include songs with lyrics like atheism and
evolution or deadly ideas and a showstopping performance with a world ending tsunami in the shape of KL Marx's face that wipes away a corrupt society that includes men holding hands some uncomfortable scenes portray Fang gong followers having their organs harvested by Chinese police since 2006 forc organ harvesting has been one of fang gong's most prominent claims you can see them protesting in public squares around the world they believe that since their organs are spiritually Superior to ordinary organs the Chinese State wants them the thing is the claim has nearly no evidence and has been dismissed by Harry woo the Chinese disent who exposed China's policy of harvesting organs from
executed criminals in 1994 woo spent 19 years in Chinese labor camps that didn't stop the fallong gong from calling him a Chinese spy after he investigate their claims and found that there was nearly no evidence Shen Yun which shows across five continents has amassed $265 million in assets despite this weld the Canon media fund has contributed over $250,000 in public funds to Shen Yun the shenyun school located at Dragon Springs houses the dancers some as young as 12 in near total isolation often separated from their parents Master Lee's Powers keep them in line Master Lee first of all can read everyone's Minds I grew up with this notion that my thoughts were always being monitored on the mountain
they treated him like a god despite grueling routines genuine performers are offered little Medical Care One performer said if you take any kind of medication or go to a hospital that means you're a bad practitioner it means you do not fully trust Master Lee during a performance one performer landed badly and dislocated their knee it was just pop back into place and they continued to dance for 2 hours they never saw a doctor a violinist in the shenu orchestra felt sharp pains in his shoulder Lee touched him and told him that he was healed the pain continued for years but he was told it was because he didn't believe hard enough eventually he left Fong gong finally saw a doctor and discover that he had a
bulging disc in his spine the young girls who perform in shenyun are often told that they are too fat and many develop Eating Disorders if they did Lee would perform exorcisms on them to help cure them of this personal failure that caused the illness the disorders continued for years performers who want to quit were told that they would go to hell and would die as soon as they left the compound since Master Lee would no longer protect them Shen Yun is registered as a nonprofit company based in New York unaware audience es pay hundreds for a ticket while shenyun performers are usually unpaid shenyun tells performers that each show will save the audience any failures would
Doom the audience to hell if you don't do it right then it's on you the universe is not saved because of you in the year 2000 John Tang a Georgia Tech Student and Fon gong disciple launched the epoch times from his Atlanta basement it's now run as part of the epoch Media Group which also operates new Tang Dynasty television all still under Tang's leadership as CEO their mission was simple save the world from the apocalyptic battle against demonic Chinese communism staffed mostly by unpaid Fang gong volunteers the epoch times and new tank Dynasty were seen by Master Lee as our media for years the epoch times which is a niche anti-china newspaper scattered on New York City street corners and tossed at doorsteps
but in 2009 Lee delivered a speech at the epoch times offices with a clear order the come regular media a few years later Donald Trump announced that he would run for president of the United States on a platform that was explicitly anti-china fallong gong came to see Trump as a kind of Killer Angel summoned from Heaven to snipe the Chinese government in 2016 the epoch times took a massive partisan shift their content was already critical of China now would Target Islam immigration and at all times promote Traditional Values Steve clet who covered the 2016 Trump campaign for the epoch times said editors told him to write favorable coverage of trump and censor criticism or controversial
topics in 2016 a mass shooter killed 50 people at Pulse a gain night glob in Orlando Florida we weren't allowed to cover stories involving homosexuality but that bumps up against them wanting to cover Islamic terrorism so I wrote four articles without using the word gay after Trump won the 2016 election the epoch times integrated itself into his orbit quickly infamous far right organizer and Trump's Chief strategist Steve Bannon began working with new Tang Dynasty Bannon pushed Trump into making Michael Pack the leader of the US AGM the same Federal agency that funded the Fong gong for decades pack fired all the US AGM leadership he saw us being soft on China and sent more funds to fallong
gong pack then appointed the Epoch time columnist Roger L Simon to the US AGM board president Trump his family and his staff began regular sharing stories from the epoch times journalists were granted access to the White House one even passed Trump an envelope with unknown contents the epoch times attempt to look like Legacy Media with a clean web page and serif fonts but its articles maintained Fong beliefs like after the antiwar movement faded in the West in the 1970s the devil manipulated rebellious adolescence to channel their energies into agitating for feminism environmentalism and the legalization of homosexuality the epoch times claims feminism welfare divorce public school
and homosexuality are all communist plots it should be noted that Fong belief states that Communists are literal demons and wretched demons just deserve to be killed and that killing demons saves both the Killer and the demon so if the TU hared life knew it would stretch its neck out and let you kill it would happily cheerfully let you kill it while the epoch times regularly publishes harmless stuff like three-year-old rememb past life as a snake other content will explicitly hateful so just content about Sinister queers or outright lies about 2-year-olds undergoing gender transitions something that has never happened then there's blatant disinformation like meteorologists scientists explain why there is no
climate emergency this article claimed that 1,69 scientists signed a report denying climate change when you look into the report though you discover that there are essentially no scientists on it many of the signatories are connected to the fossil fuel and mining industry and some of them are even lobbyists the founder of the project and eight other signatories are current or ex-employees of shell people with a vested interest in denying climate change some of the entries are it experts fishermen and people with an interest in meteorology in the runup to the 2020 us election the epoch times created dozens of Facebook pages posting clickbait usually were cute babies or animals for example this
one here of a cute dog with over 8 million views and the link to subscribe to the epoch times Epoch media published videos of cute animals tens of thousands of times on over 100 Facebook pages racking up billions of views the epoch times created an entire network of dozens of pages supported by Bots and fake users many accounts were just Vietnamese users posing as Trump supporters in groups like espano Port Trump the Epoch time spent two million dollar on prot Trump ads in 2019 second only to the Trump campaign itself when in mid 2019 the epoch times was caught mislabeling their ads ticket around Facebook's policies about political advertising they stopped advertising
then suddenly Pages appeared with names like honest paper Patriots of America pure American journalism and best news all of which ran ads linking back to the epoch times and its subscription Page by December of 2019 the epoch times had spent 11 million dollar on Facebook ads in total that same month Facebook removed hundreds of epoch linked accounts and Pages somewhat millions of followers Facebook stated that the epoch times had leveraged foreign actors posing as Americans to push political content and tried to hide the source of their political ads Facebook then banned them from all future advertising Not only was Facebook easy to manipulate it was also home to the epoch times desired audience the elderly the epoch times
specifically targeted conservatives aged 60 and over and in their ads they even boasted that they had increased their fund size by 20% and take a look at this we recently increased our font size by 20% so it's easier on the eyes easier to read and awesome as soon as ebook times was banned from Facebook in 2019 millions of YouTube users began to be constantly exposed to ads for the epoch times who spent more than $3 million Plastering YouTube with ads hey doesn't it feel like there's Communists everywhere how communist ideology has been subverting our nation and compromising our children's future how socialist and communist ideologies have been infiltrating our society in the ads their spokesman complained about communist and the mainstream media and
claimed that the epoch times has no Spin and no false narratives and was independent real news delivered to your home every single week that doesn't push any false narrative doesn't spin the truth and doesn't have any hidden agendas he never mentions its Fon long connections its government funding or its long-term religious anti-m medicine and anti-china agenda the epoch times leadership and funding is kept mostly secret normally a bad sign for a news outlet and they are also registered as a nonprofit and so are exempt from most federal taxes they claim their goal is independent journalism outside of political interests but their tax filings show large amounts of funding from conservative organizations
receiving about $1 million in donations between 2020 and 2022 in just 2021 the epoch times received $ anti-lgbt and anti-immigrant groups they also received $331,000 from donor's trust known as the dark money ATM of the conservative movement and that's just a fraction of their conservative donations not exactly outside of political interest the epoch 's Representatives usually deny any affiliation with Fong gong but the staff and owners are nearly all fallong gong when I found Fallon dafa I found the answers to those questions I found the meaning of my life in 2021 Theo times provided 10.4 million in funding to shenyun and another 8.3 million to new time Dynasty Co bur a new ecosystem of online conspiracy which was
eagerly fueled by the epoch times the epoch times heavily pushed a conspiracy that China had engineered Co or what they called the CCP virus in a lab to use as a biological weapon against the world they produced a documentary that got tens of millions of views that pushed this idea nearly every interview in that documentary is from an Epoch Media Group Employee an antivaxer a crypto salesman or people that write about war with China the overwhelming scientific consensus is that the virus had a natural origin the claims of the documentary are debunked here the epoch times itself doesn't seem to actually believe the engineering Theory because the epoch times also claimed that magic
could cure Co recently there were several cases of people recovering from the CCP pneumonia miraculously after they condemned the CCP there were no such cases condemning the Communist Party of China did not cure covid an niok Times article also claimed that monkey virus DNA found in covid-19 shots caused cancer this was also completely false another article claimed that the horse Dew warmer medication I mechin is safe and effective against Co it wasn't this same author who is not a doctor wrote how baking soda cures cancer it does not the epoch times also claimed that the vaccine caused deadly PL lots a claim that was Amplified by conservative podcasters welcome back to the stup Peter show so as many of you saw over
the weekend there was an article published in the epoch times that this is truly part of a mass genocide operation covid spikes the chances of blood clots vaccines reduce that chance after Trump lost the 2020 us election the epoch times became a repeat spreader of election misinformation months after the election the epoch times refused to acknowledge the results when the epoch times tried to sue a reporter to silence criticism of their connections to the January 6 writers they lost because report was substantially true another part of the fallong gong network is China uncensored a huge YouTube channel that produces anti-china content that told their audiences directly that they
are not affiliated with Fong gong and that it only gives its videos to new Tang Dynasty for translation to Chinese but the show's host is a Fong gong disciple the show was filmed at the new T Dynasty Studios the Channel's name has new T Dynasty in it the very small team the host claims works on the show are new Tang Dynasty employees another Epoch mini production was edge of wonder which racked up tens of millions of views until YouTube shut down in late 2020 take covered stuff like all heard about the Deep State the shadow government the cabal or the Illuminati as we said before this all comes down to Eugenics and the depopulation of the human race so they want to rid the world of the
ones who they deem aren't good enough and make the perfect human race also according to almost everyone fighting against the Deep State including going on they would also have everyone practice their religion which is Satanism look if mind control is happening we need to know what it is that they're doing alongside alien conspiracy videos that included incredible lines like that the trantaloids were abducting mutilating cows to develop antitoxins for themselves located and derived from within the unique cow physiology age of Wonder also pushed the Q Anon conspiracy theory claiming that there is a secret Global satanic pedophile ring of cannibals being taken down by Trump who communicates with Believers through
cryptic posts on forchan this is an odd Theory considering that rich and famous sexual offenders can operate out in the open with no consequences one edge of Wonder video 1 Bloodlines and their diabolical endgame make some uh questionable historical claims in mockery and imitation of God's 12 tribes Satan blessed 12 Bloodlines one of these bloodlines was the ishi bloodline from which a special Elite line developed Alchemy assassination techniques and other occult practices one bloodline was from Egyptian Celtic druidic from which druidism was developed their ultimate goal is to combine their satanic Bloodlines occult powers and their financial dominance to Herald in a one Neal government and the Antichrist to create hell on Earth in spite of the
Divine The Story Goes that they had relations and even intermarried with American Indian Chief and lines to capture the occult spiritual power of those people and absorbed as much of their culture pertaining to Magic and rituals that they could their source for the video is this book which just claims with no evidence whatsoever to know how Satan created 13 evil Bloodlines that have somehow run the world for thousands of years the book is of course obsessed with the Jews the epoch times denied any connection to edge of Wonder but the hosts were Epoch times employees and it was produced by new time Dynasty then hle who ran Australia's Epoch times said Fang gong people believe that they are
higher Spiritual Beings that Ordinary People are ignorant and literally sort of dirty deluded they don't know what they want and so for them their job is to save Ordinary People even if that requires lying and lying made Lee and the epoch times a lot of money in 2017 they had a revenue of just $7 million in 2022 they saw a revenue of $128 million new Tang Dynasty sky rocking to 2 30 million Facebook followers just the English version of the epoch times has nearly 9 million followers the epoch times is now available in 33 countries and in 21 languages it's a favorite among the German farite one Epoch times Germany article even recommended the porting People based on DNA results in
July of 2024 the epoch times was rocked by a scandal one that answered questions that nearly every single journalist had about them how on Earth is a modern news Outlet actually profitable and able to spend this much on ads well it turns out that they are running a massive $67 million money laundering scam that stole unemployment insurance benefits and laundered them through crypto and prepaid debit cards this scam has taken the wind out of their sales for a bit the epoch times was much quieter during the 2024 American election but if their history shows us anything is that they will find new cracks in society to exploit and that Master Lee a man that looks to feudal China for inspiration
from the safety of his compound surrounded by fawning followers and supported financially by their labor is willing to lie cheat and steal to realize his vision an apocalyptic Showdown with China it's easy to feel disheartened by stories like these of manipulation exploitation and the harm they cause to society every day we see rampant unfairness the rich get richer while the poor get poorer but we're not helpless there's a way to fight back against cynicism and frustration and make a direct positive impact in the world and it's not through a corporation or through middlemen but through you me give directly the sponsor of this video and a revolutionary Approach to Global Aid unlike traditional Aid that can be
