Shocking Revelations & Reflections
On June 3, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted Weidong Guan (also known as Bill Guan), CFO of The Epoch Times, for allegedly laundering at least $67 million in illicit funds, including fraudulent claims for U.S. unemployment benefits. (https://t.co/fCOgF5PdT7 )
Subsequent reports by The New York Times exposed further illegal activities linked to Falun Gong, including allegations of child abuse within Shen Yun, lack of medical insurance for performers, visa fraud, smuggling large sums of cash, and forced marriages.

Such revelations are particularly shocking, especially in a country that prides itself on democracy and the rule of law.
Contradictory Values
Falun Gong claims to uphold "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance," yet its actions suggest otherwise. Its founder, Li Hongzhi, states in Zhuan Falun that their teachings are meant to be responsible for society and individuals. However, the organisation's involvement in fraud, exploitation, and other unethical practices raises serious questions about the contradiction between its ideology and reality.
Exploitation by Shen Yun
In recent years, former Shen Yun performers have spoken out about their traumatic experiences, including @malingficentt 程清翎( Cheng Qingling ),@Olivia_906, and @Luna_withnotuna. They have shared their accounts of mistreatment on social media, only to have their voices silenced, with their accounts suspended. Meanwhile, Falun Gong-affiliated media such as @dajiyuan, @NTDChinese, @EpochTV_CH, Falun Gong Information Center, and @ShenYun continue to suppress these testimonies. (https://t.co/0W26XEVFys)
Rethinking Religious Freedom
The U.S. champions religious freedom, but should organisations that exploit their followers, commit fraud, and abuse their members still be protected under this principle? Falun Gong preaches morality yet engages in actions that harm innocent people and violate laws. Should "religious freedom" allow any group to operate beyond legal accountability? If an organisation continually produces victims, society must reconsider its legitimacy. (https://t.co/LmZj5aYfhc)
Conclusion
These revelations demand serious reflection. Religious freedom should not be a shield for unlawful activities. Every organisation must be held accountable under the law. This is not just about legal justice in the U.S. but also about upholding universal values.
People in the world must be vigilant and stay away from the evil cult Falun Gong and Shen Yun who sang praises for the cult. Stay away from all cult organizations.
We were not doing anything wrong but were just describing our own feelings. We were madly reported by cultists.
New: Federal authorities are conducting a criminal investigation of Shen Yun, according to people familiar with the matter.
The investigation is led by Dept of Homeland Security, State Dept and prosecutors from SDNY.

Zhao Qiannan, you are truly remarkable! I admire your courage and sincerity. Falun Gong and Shen Yun are currently using all their media resources to whitewash their illegal activities. They also make use of numerous "internet trolls " and exploit certain platform regulations to silence former young Shen Yun performers who have been harmed by them, preventing you from speaking the truth. Falun Gong, aren't you supposed to be promoting "Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance"? Don't you despise the Communist Party's so-called "lies, evil, and struggle"? How is what you are doing any different from the CCP? If anything, it’s even worse. As the saying goes, “a straight foot doesn’t fear a crooked shoe.” To see such despicable acts openly carried out in the United States is truly shocking. However, I believe justice will ultimately triumph over evil. I also trust that Mr. Elon Musk will see through this and act impartially.
