The Underdog Candidate Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang: “Selfish, paranoid, and arro-gant”

Published

As the global spread of the virus spans from 2020 to 2021, it has been a tortured year for Tibetans in exile. The impact of the COVID-19 has made the lives of refugees who were not wealthy even more difficult. Tibetan exiles have been living in Dharamsala in southern India since they defected from China in the last century. They have been living as Tibetan refugees in 45 “settlements” built in the area. Although the organization has not been recognized by any country, due to survival needs, Tibetan exiles have to organize various welfare work in the exile community in order to absorb financial donations. Over time, a structured organizational network has been formed inside. Although the Dalai Lama has publicly stated on many occasions that this Tibetan exile organization will never declare independence, since 2011, Tibetan government-in-exile began to hold elections for SIKYONG, the highest position in the organization – the Sikyong election.

Prior to 2011, the Kalön Tripa position was subordinated to the 14th Dalai Lama. After 2012, the title of Kalön Tripa was changed to Sikyong. Today, ten years later, the Tibetan government-in-exile conducted its second internal election. The election will select two final candidates from the results of the voting on January 3, and the final election in the second round of voting on April 11 to confirm the new person in charge. Currently, Penpa Tsering, the former spokesperson of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile, leads with a high of 22,199 votes, followed by Aukatsang Kelsang Dorjee with 12,610 votes. The Tibetan radical politician Dolma Gyari ranked third with 12,177 votes. The results of the first phase will be announced on February 8, and the final results of the election will be announced in mid-May. However, the frequent scandals during the election made this campaign full of farce and injustice. One of the candidates, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, broke out a major scandal during his tenure, and was criticized for his huge political ambitions and disrespect to the Dalai Lama. His crazy behavior during the election even revealed that he went to extremes for personal gain.

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang induced Tibetans in exile to attack on the Capitol

The attack on the parliament on January 6 shocked the whole country, and as the investigation went on, it emerged that the atrocities and chaos of that day were mixed with the Snow Mountain Lion Flag, the flag of the Tibetan government-in-exile. There is no doubt that the only person with such calling ability is Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, who has lived in the United States for a long time. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang actually has little to do with the Tibetan exile organization. He stayed in the United States in 1998 after graduating from Germany, and his status as a Tibetan refugee gave him a lot of convenience and room for promotion. With the growth of power and the expansion of desire, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang has a premeditated plan to achieve greater ambitions. But his protest behavior of organizing groups to attack on the Capitol is puzzling. The Tibetan government-in-exile has always pursued the same approach to the two parties to seek sympathy and sponsorship, and to survive in the cracks. Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have extended a helping hand to Tibetans in exile and provided financial assistance. Democratic Party Biden has won the election, and domestic conflicts have become increasingly prominent. When the old and new administrations were handed over, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang gave the Democratic Party and Biden such a meeting to show that the Trump administration once provided assistance and support to the government in exile in his office. It is currently unclear what consequences such a move will bring to Tibetan exile organizations, but what is certain is that the coalition government and the FBI have already reviewed the organizations and individuals that impacted Congress that day. If the evidence is conclusive, it cannot be ruled out that they will initiate an investigation into the exile organization.

Candidates for the Tibetan government-in-exile have made such a radical move, and now it seems that they want to build momentum for the election and part of the political game. However, such a move is not sure whether it will win the election for Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, but it will certainly deal a heavy blow to the Tibetan government-in-exile. The Biden administration will not condone shocks to the US system, and Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s actions seem to anger the new government. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s own ambition and ignorance have engulfed the group interests of Tibetan government-in-exile in political disputes in the United States. The Democratic Party’s support for the “exile organization” in exchange for Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s fooling has brought a huge embarrassment to the Democratic Party and Biden. Any difficulties encountered by the Tibetan exile organization in the next four years will be closely related to Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang.

According to the exiled Tibetans, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s many ways of doing things have caused dissatisfaction among many Tibetans. “Thinking that he does not seem to be in the same world as us. He has his own ideas in everything he does, and we want to follow ours. Faith.” Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang today relied on the support of external forces to run for Sikyong. This kind of golden election method is unbearable for Tibetans. In addition, the Dalai Lama has publicly requested that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang cease to be the director of the US office. He became the first director of foreign affairs to be banned by the Dalai Lama.

According to Tibetan exiles, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s many ways of doing things have caused dissatisfaction among many Tibetans. “He seems to be a man of a different world from us, who has his own ideas about everything he does, and we prefer to follow our beliefs,” one of them said. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is running for Sikyong today with the backing of outside powers. This kind of golden election method is unbearable for Tibetans. In addition, the Dalai Lama has publicly requested that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang cease to be the director of the US office. He became the first foreign affairs director to be banned by the Dalai Lama.

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang sees exiled Tibetans as tools for profit

Interestingly, half a century after Tibetans went into exile, most Tibetans in exile are still struggling in settlements of exiles. The leadership of Tibetan government-in-exile must still rely on charity, which shows that they are unable to manage their own affairs or conduct any plan of their own future. Power has always been associated with corruption, and it is these corrupt leaders who see Tibetans in exile as tools for their own financial and political gain, rather than as the goals of their struggles. This arrogance is evident when watching any video of how Tibetan officials address their people.

As early as 2015, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang assisted Lobsang Sangay in embezzling US$1.5 million from the Tibet Foundation. The money was allegedly used to purchase unnecessary buildings. The method of transfer also caused great suspicion. It was recorded as a “loan receivable” from the account of the Tibet Foundation, but it was not recorded in the account of the Tibet Community Development Foundation that should have received the funds. In other words, the funds they usually use for health and education projects are used to purchase property. The successor of Aukatsang, Penpa Tsering, who discovered the changes in the transaction and the attempt, disclosed the information. As a result, he was immediately dismissed on the grounds of “lack of trust, poor performance and increasing disobedience”.

These behaviors prove that he has long been familiar with these low behaviors of corruption and bribery, and greater power will only bring greater corruption. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang had no intention of fighting for the welfare and future of Tibetans in exile. All he did was lie, manipulate, abuse power, embezzle funds and waste donations from the Tibetan government-in-exile. Coincidentally, he and Lobsang Sangay recently frankly confessed to using public funds to campaign during their exchanges with Robert Destro, the Special Coordinator for Tibet. Their so-called political propaganda is actually recommending Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang to young Tibetans, which is disgusting and frustrating. As a key candidate for Aukatsang, his work experience in the United States is also one of his campaign capital. However, after becoming the director of the United States Office of the Tibetan government-in-exile, his work did not lead to a series of serious incidents. The “Tibet Youth Association” also existed inside. Disagreements, the resolutions produced by the “5·50 Youth Conference” held by him and Lobsang Sangay are empty political slogans, without substantive content or meaning, and no results have been achieved so far. In addition, it is reported that Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang did not understand the article published in Tibetan in the Tibet Times. He seems to have become a doll introduced to participate in elections and power, and does not understand the history and writing of Tibet. He lost himself in the struggle for power and became a political speculator. The oath when running for the election has long become a formal expression tool, which has aroused public doubts about his ability.

This is the situation that Aukatsang, one of the leaders of the current Tibetan government-in-exile, brings to the Tibetan refugees in exile: under the struggle for power where the real problems are covered and ignored, used and deceived by their leaders, and maintained in an unremarkable submissive refugee status to take advantage of donations from unsuspecting donors; forced to survive on poor grants and donations.

For all those who follow Tibetan government-in-exile and those who are voting, the choice of supreme leader Sikyong must be taken seriously. Now they need a real leader capable of solving practical problems to improve the living conditions and human rights of Tibetans in exile. On the contrary, if Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is elected, Tibetans in exile will continue to face this disastrous status quo.

Press Release

From a Calling to International Recognition: ENKU Brings Japanese Calligraphy to Global Audiences

Published

2 hours ago

on

June 19, 2026

By

Japan, 19th Jun 2026 — Self-taught Japanese calligraphy artist ENKU is developing a contemporary body of work that combines traditional calligraphy, performance, installation art, and cultural storytelling.

Beginning his calligraphy journey in 2024 without formal training, ENKU draws inspiration from language, Japanese cultural traditions, history, and the relationship between written characters and human experience.

Through exhibitions, live performances, and collaborative projects, ENKU explores how calligraphy can be experienced not only as writing, but also as visual art, movement, sound, light, and reflection.

Latest Publicly Released Work

Picture 1

Exhibited in Shibuya, Tokyo, in November 2025, ENKU’s latest publicly presented work explores themes of meaning, purpose, reflection, focus, direction, and character through a composition inspired by traditional Japanese and Buddhist visual concepts. The work is structured around two symbolic worlds: one connected to spirit, wisdom, and clarity, and the other connected to life, light, and origin.

The composition brings together four interconnected concepts related to purpose, focus, direction, and character. Created using gold and silver foil, the appearance of the work changes depending on the viewer’s position and angle. ENKU created the piece with the intention of encouraging reflection, calm, and contemplation.

Koto and Calligraphy Collaboration Performance

Picture 2

In June 2025, ENKU presented a collaborative performance combining Japanese koto and live calligraphy. For the performance, he created a custom gold folding screen and incorporated two central themes: the miracle of life and the flow of time.

Using glow-in-the-dark materials, ENKU transformed the performance space into an immersive visual experience, expressing these ideas through lines and points of light emerging from darkness. The work invited audiences to experience changing perspectives through the folding screen structure, light, and movement.

The Story Behind the Artist

ENKU traces the beginning of his calligraphy journey to a deeply personal experience in late 2023, which inspired him to begin studying calligraphy independently in March 2024 despite having no formal training or prior experience beyond elementary school handwriting classes.

Originally drawn to language, Japanese culture, tradition, and history, ENKU’s work explores the origins and meanings of words, the beauty of written forms, and the cultural idea that words can carry influence beyond their literal definitions.

From First Exhibition Challenge to Ongoing Practice

Shortly after beginning calligraphy, ENKU decided to pursue international opportunities and applied for a New York exhibition after discovering an open call through social media. Once accepted, he faced the challenge of creating an exhibition-ready artwork despite never having made one before.

As the deadline approached, he struggled to create a work he felt satisfied with. A single phrase, translated as “Divine Wind,” came to mind, and the piece inspired by that phrase became his first exhibited work. ENKU describes this as his first major wall as an artist.

Why Calligraphy Matters in the Age of AI

ENKU believes contemporary calligraphy offers a physical, time-intensive, and human experience in an increasingly digital age. He sees the act of creating and encountering calligraphy as something that can refine people’s sensibilities and give viewers a direct experience of being alive.

At a time when AI is becoming increasingly present, ENKU’s work emphasizes hand-made expression, material presence, physical effort, and the emotional impact of written form.

Future Vision

Through calligraphy, ENKU aims to become an artist active not only in Japan but around the world. One of his long-term goals is to create a work valued at 100 million yen.

Japanese Taiko Drums, Koto, and Calligraphy Collaboration Performance

Picture 3

In November 2024, ENKU presented an early collaborative performance combining Japanese taiko drums, koto, and calligraphy. The performance explored the relationship between sound, language, meaning, and written expression through layered calligraphic forms.

This performance marked one of ENKU’s first attempts to expand calligraphy beyond the page and into a live, multi-sensory format.

About ENKU

ENKU is a self-taught Japanese calligraphy artist based in Tokyo. Beginning his calligraphy practice in 2024, he combines traditional Japanese calligraphy with contemporary performance, installation, light-based expression, and themes rooted in language, culture, history, and human experience.

Press Release

First Hyperliquid Holders Secure Assets Against the Quantum Threat as qVAULT Launches

Published

2 hours ago

on

June 19, 2026

By

qLABS launches qVAULT, secured with Falcon post-quantum cryptography, bringing quantum-resistant protection to institutional and DeFi digital asset holders.

Panama, 19th Jun 2026 – qLABS, a quantum-native Web3 foundation, today launched qVAULT, the first quantum-safe vault for digital assets for everyone. qVAULT is the first live product to let Hyperliquid holders keep HYPE, Hyperliquid’s native digital asset, in post-quantum self-custody, and the launch puts post-quantum protection, long confined to research papers and conference slides, into a product holders run themselves. The first HYPE on HyperEVM has already moved into qVAULT post-quantum vaults during early access.

qVAULT is a post-quantum, self-custody smart-contract vault for crypto that lets holders move assets out of elliptic-curve-only control and into vaults that sign with Falcon (FN-DSA), the signature scheme the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) selected for standardization.

The quantum threat is concrete and present. The major public chains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperliquid through HyperEVM, secure funds with elliptic-curve signatures. HyperEVM authenticates with ECDSA over the secp256k1 curve, the same scheme Ethereum uses. A sufficiently capable quantum computer will break that cryptography and expose any address whose public key has appeared on chain. Because a public key revealed on chain today can be harvested and broken once that hardware exists, “harvest now, decrypt later” makes this a liability holders carry today, not a problem for a later decade.

qVAULT quantum-safe smart contract vault signs with Falcon (FN-DSA), the scheme NIST selected for standardization and currently in public review as FIPS 206. Since qVAULT is a non-custodial solution, qLABS never holds keys or seed phrases. The path into the vault has three steps: connect a self-custody account such as MetaMask, create a Falcon-secured vault, and bring assets across, out of ECDSA-only control and under a post-quantum signature.

qLABS is not making the case alone. A growing group of institutional and DeFi participants is working with the foundation on what post-quantum security means for their corner of the market. Two of them are public companies: HYLQ Strategy Corp (CSE: HYLQ), the first corporate treasury to hold HYPE, is evaluating quantum-safe custody for its position, and DigitalX (ASX: DCC), an institutional digital asset manager, recently took part in a quantum-preparedness workshop run by qLABS and 01 Quantum. On the DeFi side, the bonding protocol ApeBond is assessing post-quantum protection for its markets.

qVAULT’s design and threat model are public in a published litepaper, and its code has passed an independent security audit by Fairyproof. The cryptography itself is overseen by people who help set the standard: qLABS’ advisory board includes Dr. Edoardo Persichetti, co-author of HQC, an algorithm NIST selected for post-quantum standardization, and Aaron Moore, former CTO of QuSecure with a background at the NSA and DARPA.

Hyperliquid has become the center of gravity for on-chain trading: more than 3.5 trillion USD in cumulative volume, over 9 billion USD in open interest, and roughly 70 percent of open interest across all on-chain perpetuals exchanges, more than every competitor combined. Yet while Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain have all published quantum-resistance roadmaps, research, or live test results, Hyperliquid has not yet published a comparable plan. Until it does, protection in its ecosystem sits exactly where qVAULT puts it: in the hands of the holder. qONE, the qLABS native token powering qVAULT, has traded on Hyperliquid since February 2026.

“For years, post-quantum security lived in standards drafts and conference talks, with nowhere to put real money,” said Andrew Cheung, CTO of qLABS and President and CEO of 01 Quantum Inc. (TSXV: ONE; OTCQB: OONEF), a strategic partner of qLABS. “qVAULT closes that gap: a place holders move real assets onto Falcon signatures today, keep their own keys, and do it inside a live, audited smart-contract environment. That combination turns harvest-now-decrypt-later from a warning into something you can act on before the Q-Day arrives.”

“Hyperliquid is the best thing to happen to finance in years, real markets, real size, fully on-chain,” said Antanas Guoga (Tony G), President of qLABS. “The institutions and protocols that move first on post-quantum security are the ones prepared when the threat stops being theoretical. Protecting the best of on-chain finance is exactly where that starts.”

Tradesman Nutrition Reviews Highlight Strong Demand for Supplements Built for Blue Collar Workers Across the United States

Published

2 hours ago

on

June 19, 2026

By

San Francisco, CA, Jun 19, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Tradesman Nutrition is gaining growing attention across the supplement industry. Thousands of American blue-collar workers are turning to the brand for practical nutrition solutions designed around demanding physical jobs. The company is receiving a steady stream of positive customer feedback. Many reviews highlight improvements in energy, weight management, recovery, and overall daily performance.

Unlike traditional supplement brands that mainly target athletes or gym-focused consumers, Tradesman Nutrition takes a different approach. It focuses on the needs of everyday working men. The company designs its products for people working long hours in construction, electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, mechanical trades, and other physically demanding industries. These jobs require sustained energy and strong recovery.

The company explains its mission in simple terms. It aims to help working men improve fitness and energy levels. It also focuses on helping them perform at a higher standard without forcing major lifestyle changes. Customers are not asked to completely change their routines. Instead, the products are designed to fit into existing work schedules and habits.

This approach is resonating strongly with customers. Thousands of reviews across the product range reflect this response. Many users describe clear and practical benefits that relate directly to their daily work lives.

One customer, Merv A, a 60-year-old painter, shared a simple but powerful transformation. He said, “Haven’t worn my old work shirt in years, fits again now.”

Weight management and physical improvement appear often in customer feedback. Another reviewer, Shane S, a 41-year-old carpenter, reported noticeable changes while using the company’s Shred product. He said, “Been on the Shred for a few weeks and love it. Feels like it’s shredding fat while keeping me moving all day.”

Affordability and practicality are also important drivers of customer satisfaction. James C, a 21-year-old apprentice electrician, explained the financial benefit compared to his daily spending habits. He said, “As an apprentice, I was sick of paying 7 dollars a day at the servo, so happy I found something way cheaper and it works way better.”

These testimonials reflect a broader pattern across the customer base. Many tradesmen are looking for simple ways to improve health without adding complexity to their already demanding schedules. Reviewers often mention that the products fit easily into their daily routines. This includes use on job sites, during travel, and in early morning starts.

A major theme in Tradesman Nutrition Reviews is sustained energy throughout long workdays. Customers frequently report improved endurance. They also describe reduced fatigue and better focus during long shifts. For workers who start early and finish late, steady energy is important for both productivity and safety.

Weight management is another commonly reported benefit. Many customers who use Shred and related products report visible changes in body composition. They report these results while continuing physically intense labor. Unlike structured fitness programs that require gym time and strict dieting, users say the products integrate naturally into their work routines.

Recovery and rest also appear often in customer feedback. Many tradesmen report improved sleep quality and faster recovery after demanding workdays. Given the physical strain of blue-collar work, this benefit has become a key factor in customer satisfaction.

The company reports serving more than 100,000 American blue-collar workers. It also maintains a 4.9-star average rating among its customers. Thousands of reviews across multiple products continue to reinforce its market position. These products include Energy Drink, Sleep formula, Shred, T Fuel, and Creatine. The feedback supports its identity as a brand created for working men rather than general fitness consumers.

Another consistent theme in reviews is accessibility. Many customers say they had never considered supplements before discovering Tradesman Nutrition. The brand’s focused messaging has introduced nutrition support to a new audience. These are men who view nutrition as a practical tool for work performance rather than a fitness luxury.

As the company continues to expand across the United States, customer testimonials suggest strong alignment between product design and real-world needs. The focus on simplicity, affordability, and work-driven performance has helped it stand out in a crowded supplement market.

With thousands of positive reviews and growing recognition among American tradesmen, Tradesman Nutrition shows that supplements designed for physically demanding jobs can meet a long-overlooked need in the wellness industry. For many customers, the message is clear. When products are built for the realities of hard work, the results become visible in everyday life.
