Heresy, Far-right, Terrorism:The Growing and Distorted Organization Falun Gong and Its Media

Published

on

In the first week of 2021, the attack on the Capitol has been recorded in the annals of history. This unprecedented riot has struck the American democratic system. After experiencing a year of quarantine and lockdown in 2020, Trump’s supporters incited by racism became more fanatical. Among that, there is a huge organization hiding under the iceberg. Unlike other organizations’ demands for socialization, this one is more eager to seek political rights, participate in political activities, and gain support from political forces. Most importantly, this organization is dominated by foreigners. Falun Gong is a group that preach an upcoming apocalypse and most of its main members are illegal immigrants. However, relying on political speculation and due to its core leader Li Hongzhi’s strategy is more clever than other right-wing organizations, Falun Gong has created its own propaganda tool in the United States, the Epoch Media Group, which owns the Epoch Times, New Tang Dynasty TV and other media. On the one hand, it can become a political force to add weight to its own political speculation, and on the other hand, it can spread its own theory to discredit its opponents. The Falun Gong organization has actually been dormant in the United States for more than ten years. It started from the media and developed step by step to participate in US political activities, interfere in the US election, promote conspiracy theories and incite hatred, and even have the embryonic form of a terrorist organization.

The Facilitator of Conspiracy Theories and Chaos

Falun Gong’s stated goal was to fight against China. Before 2016, one of its media,The Epoch Times, generally stayed out of U.S. politics, unless they dovetailed with Chinese interests. However, Trump opened a way for Falun Gong to intervene in American politics, a way that has been both lucrative and beneficial for its message. Former President Trump has doubled the revenue of The Epoch Times, and his Facebook page has posted the content of The Epoch Times at least six times last year, pushing it to greater prominence in the broader conservative media world. Almost all articles in The Epoch Times praised Trump and denigrated the left such as these Democratic Party: A Broken Kaleidoscope? and Five Reasons Trump’s Celebration of America Was Epic Display of Patriotism. At the same time, its network of news sites and YouTube channels has made it a powerful conduit for the internet’s fringier conspiracy theories, including anti-vaccination propaganda and QAnon, to reach the mainstream. They even claimed that Clinton and former President Barack Obama were plotting to overthrow Trump.

One day after Americans cast their first votes in the election cycle, conspiracy theories, delayed election results and political opportunism intermingled online. The conservative legal group Judicial Watch, which falsely claimed that eight Iowa counties had more voter registrations than their numbers of citizens. Although this false information has been debunked, the Epoch Times is still repeating it. Only a few hours later, the Epoch Times post garnered 175,000 Facebook comments, likes and shares.

The Falun Gong organization is using a well-known technique to sow doubt in people’s minds. The most effective disinformation is that which has a kernel of truth to it, is that which kind of flies under the radar, doesn’t really break any guidelines, but it’s much more misleading than completely outright-false falsehoods.They are undoubtedly

hyper-partisans that have created an environment where conspiracy theories, misinformation and chaos are now running rampant online, further undermining people’s confidence in the democratic process

But this is only the first step for the Falun Gong organization to interfere and tear apart American politics and society. Their goal now is to overthrow the US government.

Hatred is the best bait

On December 14, 2020,the Electoral College has affirmed Biden’s victory, but the Epoch Times, as a fanatical supporter of Trump, has steadfastly claimed that the election was far from settled and insisted in a headline under its masthead: “Election Outcome Unclear Amid Legal Challenges.” Although most media organizations have called the race for Joe Biden, “The Epoch Times will not declare a winner of the 2020 presidential election until all legal challenges are resolved.” The Epoch Times even held rallies in various places, hordes of people waving star stripes and slogans like “Stop the Steal”. Sizable Epoch Times street teams at the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C., have handed out copies of the paper. New Tang Dynasty, an affiliated video outlet, has also positioned itself more as an alternative for Trump supporters, livestreaming a number of events alleging the election was stolen.

The United States is full of fear and chaos right now, and the last thing that people need is hatred. However,Falun Gong is fanning the flames of hatred. Falun Gong’s practitioners encouraged American special forces launching a military coup as an ultimate solution to overthrow Biden on Twitter, including the beheading of Biden. New Tang Dynasty Television broadcast the “Civil War” slogan shouted by Trump supporters before the live broadcast of the Trump rally in Georgia, inciting and instigating the public to rescue the country from the Democratic Party, which was indicated as a “demon” and “communist” that stole the election. The Americans who are still facing the crisis of the coronavirus, are just pawns they use to manipulate American politics in the eyes of the Falun Gong organization. The American people accidentally took the bait and became a weapon.

All these promoted by Falun Gong undoubtedly heralded the ensuing riots.

Participant of the terrorist activities that attack the Capitol

The comparison between Trump’s first day and the 1448th day in office on social media showed his complete defeat, but in fact this is also a manifestation of the disaster brought to the United States since the Falun Gong organization began to interfere in American politics for four years. The impact of this disaster on the United States is no less than that of 9/11, and Falun Gong played as an important participant in this terrorist attack.

Under battle flags bearing President Donald Trump’s name, the Capitol’s attackers pinned a bloodied police officer in a doorway, his twisted face and screams captured on video. The sinister nature of the assault has become evident, betraying the crowd as a force determined to occupy the inner sanctums of Congress and run down leaders. The scenes of rage, violence, and agony are so vast that contours of the uprising are increasingly coming into relief. They are not merely protesters, but a group of extreme terrorists, trying to establish a new political order. Ms. Pelosi said “the evidence is that it was a well-planned, organized group with leadership and guidance and direction. And the direction was to go get people.”

More details surface. As the mob broke into the U.S.Capitol,an eye-catching propaganda vehicle parked outside, displaying the slogans of the Falun Gong organization. A couple passed by these signs and saw a resonance:”See, that’s what we don’t want to get to.” Among the crowd, many were raising the flags of Falun Gong.

The mob got explicit marching orders from Mr. Trump. “Fight like hell,” Mr. Trump exhorted his partisans. The Epoch Times still promoted and supported Trump’s remarks.

The host of one channel, Eye Opener, went live on YouTube to lie about the coup attempt, election fraud, and antifa. In fact, Eye Opener is still one of seven newly launched channels connected to the Epoch Times and Falun Gong.

The United States is now deeply trapped in a world where Trump and Falun Gong are closely connected. Falun Gong uses its money, organizational and leadership capabilities beyond what a religious group should have, to support extreme terrorists behind the scenes in order to establish a new American political order through violent means, an America that fits their plans. The United States will usher in the real darkest moment if the end of such a terrorist group preaching an upcoming apocalypse does not come.

From Early Hardship to Building a $35.8M Portfolio: Don Kilam Shares the Business Philosophy Behind His Entrepreneurial Journey

Published

on

Don Kilam reflects on the experiences, business principles, and organizational strategies that contributed to the growth of Kilam International while expanding educational resources for entrepreneurs.

Las Vegas, Nevada, United States – Every entrepreneurial journey begins with a defining moment. For Don Kilam, founder of Kilam International, that moment emerged from overcoming significant personal and financial challenges that ultimately reshaped his perspective on business ownership, organizational planning, and long-term enterprise development.

From navigating periods of financial hardship and homelessness to building a business portfolio valued at approximately $35.8 million, Kilam’s story reflects years of entrepreneurship, strategic planning, and continuous learning. Rather than describing his experience as a universal roadmap to success, Kilam says his journey demonstrates the importance of understanding how businesses are organized, managed, and developed over time.

According to Kilam, one of the most significant lessons he learned was the value of treating business activities with the same discipline and structure expected of established organizations. That philosophy has since become a central theme of the educational resources developed through Kilam International, where entrepreneurs are encouraged to learn about business organization, operational planning, and responsible financial management.

A Journey That Changed His Perspective

Before establishing his current business portfolio, Kilam faced numerous personal and financial obstacles that shaped his approach to entrepreneurship. Those experiences motivated him to better understand how businesses operate, how organizations are structured, and how long-term planning can contribute to sustainable business growth.

“Building a business changed the way I viewed entrepreneurship,” said Kilam. “I came to appreciate the importance of organization, planning, accountability, and understanding how businesses function. Those experiences continue to influence the educational work we do today.”

Kilam explains that many entrepreneurs focus primarily on generating revenue, while often overlooking the importance of building a solid operational foundation. His experience led him to place greater emphasis on business structure, documentation, financial organization, and strategic planning as part of managing a growing enterprise.

Business Practices That Supported Growth

Throughout the development of Kilam International, Kilam adopted a number of business practices that he believes contributed to the company’s evolution.

One area of focus involved operating through formal business entities, including limited liability companies (LLCs) and trust structures where appropriate. According to Kilam, these organizational decisions were made as part of broader business planning and in consultation with professional advisors based on the company’s operational needs.

The company also invested in maintaining organized accounting systems and business banking practices to support financial management and administrative oversight. Kilam says accurate financial records and consistent operational procedures became increasingly important as business activities expanded.

As the company grew, Kilam explored a variety of business financing opportunities to support expansion initiatives. He notes that financing decisions were evaluated based on business objectives and available opportunities, while emphasizing that funding options vary significantly depending on the nature of each business and should always be assessed with appropriate professional guidance.

Kilam International also continued to explore business development opportunities through strategic partnerships, private business initiatives, and educational programs. These activities contributed to the company’s broader focus on entrepreneurship, business education, and organizational growth.

In addition, the company diversified its business interests across multiple sectors, including real estate, digital education, and online business communities. Kilam says diversification formed part of the company’s long-term business strategy and reflected its commitment to developing multiple areas of enterprise activity rather than relying on a single business segment.

Expanding Entrepreneurial Education

Drawing from these experiences, Kilam International has expanded its educational initiatives to help entrepreneurs better understand business organization, operational planning, accounting practices, and enterprise management.

The company’s educational resources discuss topics including business entity selection, organizational planning, financial recordkeeping, responsible business administration, and long-term operational development. Kilam emphasizes that these materials are intended to encourage informed decision-making and should not be interpreted as legal, tax, investment, or financial advice.

“Our goal is to encourage entrepreneurs to think beyond the initial stages of launching a business,” Kilam said. “Building a sustainable organization requires continuous learning, responsible planning, and a willingness to adapt as opportunities and challenges evolve.”

Through its online community and digital educational platforms, Kilam International continues to publish content designed to help entrepreneurs better understand the operational aspects of running a business. The company says future educational initiatives will continue to focus on entrepreneurship, organizational development, and business management while encouraging individuals to seek qualified professional advice for decisions involving legal, financial, or tax matters.

While every entrepreneurial journey is unique, Kilam believes that education, planning, and responsible business practices remain valuable components of long-term enterprise development. His story—from overcoming hardship to building a diversified business portfolio—serves as the foundation for Kilam International’s ongoing commitment to supporting entrepreneurship through education rather than promises of financial outcomes.

Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund Named Winner of Two 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for Best Fund over 10 Years

Published

on

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, August 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire

Independent recognition of a decade of consistent, risk-adjusted performance

The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund was recognised with the 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for Best Fund over 10 Years in the Bond Sukuk Global USD classification, winning across two award universes: Global Islamic and MENA Markets.

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards have, for more than three decades, recognised funds that have delivered consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. Winners are determined using LSEG Lipper’s independent, proprietary quantitative methodology, based on the Lipper Leader rating for Consistent Return over three-, five-, and ten-year periods.

The Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund is a UCITS sub-fund of an open-ended, Luxembourg-incorporated umbrella investment company. One of the longest-running global sukuk funds of its kind, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of Shariah-compliant assets, comprising primarily investment-grade sovereign, government-related and corporate sukuk, without reference to any specific benchmark. The Fund is dynamically managed and targets both income and capital appreciation, with a monthly distribution of dividends, and has navigated multiple market cycles within a risk-managed framework.

The awards come at a period of heightened volatility for global fixed income. Fitch Ratings has noted that the sukuk market’s recovery in 2026 hinges on sustained regional stability, with issuance expected to remain below 2025 levels amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.¹ Against this backdrop, an independent award recognising consistent, risk-adjusted performance over a full decade underscores the value of an actively managed, disciplined approach through changing market cycles.

“We’re proud to see the Rasmala Global Sukuk Fund recognised among the best over ten years. In a market that continues to test investors, an independent award for consistent, risk-adjusted performance over a full decade speaks to the strength of our active management and the trust our investors place in us. It reflects the disciplined, long-term approach that defines how we manage capital at Rasmala,” said Eric Swats, Senior Executive Officer, Rasmala Investment Bank Limited.

TaqFlow Emerges to Overhaul Central Asian Cross-Border Payments

Published

on

Dubai, UAE, August 1st, 2026, FinanceWire

Fintech Pioneer Fuses Blockchain and Dedicated Content Delivery Network to Replace Broken 48-Hour Legacy Banking Rails with Instant, Ultra-Low-Fee Transactions

TaqFlow, a next-generation cross-border payment platform engineered specifically for Central Asian corridors, announced its official emergence from stealth mode and the public launch of pre-orders for its high-speed financial network. The platform solves the region’s most critical commercial pain points: slow settlement times, high transaction fees, and crippling currency volatility.

Unlike traditional financial institutions, the team behind TaqFlow is comprised entirely of digital nomads who have spent years traveling, living, and operating businesses across different countries. Having managed international operations on the move, the founders intimately understand the severe friction, predatory fees, and operational bottlenecks tied to cross-border capital movement.

“The spark for TaqFlow happened on a beach in Bali, of all places,” said co-founder Giorgi Beridze. “I was speaking with one of my eventual co-founders, who was venting about the sheer frustration of moving money between Georgia and Kazakhstan. The transaction took over two days to clear. In that short window, currency fluctuations ate away at the capital, costing him the equivalent of several hundred euros. It was a lightbulb moment for both of us. As nomads, we knew this pain intimately. We realized that the existing cross-border rails in Central Asia were fundamentally broken—exposed to systemic delays, unpredictable volatility, and unnecessary costs.”

TaqFlow eliminates these systemic bottlenecks by introducing a proprietary, dual-layer architecture built entirely from scratch. The platform is harnessing the innate speed and cryptographic security of the blockchain, layering it beneath a custom-built, dedicated content delivery network (CDN). This physical infrastructure will bypass standard public internet latency, allowing TaqFlow to route, read, and settle B2B transactions in mere seconds at a fraction of standard banking fees.

The rapid velocity of the platform removes the financial limbo that historically stifled trade along the historic Silk Road corridors, which inspired the company’s name. A “Taq” was the historic domed archway where ancient global merchants gathered to exchange currency; TaqFlow has modernized this concept into a digital gateway.

“As a young startup, our greatest asset is that we aren’t saddled by legacy systems or yesterday’s way of thinking,” a co-founder continued. “Traditional institutions are trapped inside layers of obsolete technical debt. This blank slate allows us to build cleaner, operate with zero friction, and pass those massive cost savings directly to our customers. We are already looking at how we can incorporate AI natively into our infrastructure to push processing speeds even higher and completely transform the cross-border customer experience.”

The launch arrives at a pivotal moment. Institutional investors from Europe, the Americas, and the Gulf region are increasingly turning their attention toward Central Asia’s rapidly growing economic landscape. TaqFlow aims to act as the primary financial bedrock that enables this influx of global capital to reach local markets seamlessly.

“The Central Asian economy has been overlooked for far too long,” co-founder Logan Jenkins noted. “When we look back five years from now, our greatest legacy won’t just be the volume of capital we processed; it will be the community of small businesses and startups we lifted up. We want to be the foundation that helps young enterprises get off the ground, seamlessly scale across borders, protect their hard-earned margins, and grow at velocities they never thought possible.”

TaqFlow is now accepting pre-orders from businesses and corporate partners across authorized Central Asian corridors. Enterprises looking to optimize their cross-border liquidity and eliminate transaction delays can learn more or request platform access by visiting TaqFlow’s launch page.

About TaqFlow

TaqFlow is a modern cross-border payment platform dedicated to unlocking the economic potential of Central Asia. Founded by a team of global digital nomads and fintech innovators, TaqFlow bridges ancient regional trading heritage with modern decentralized technology. By fusing blockchain tech with an ultra-low-latency dedicated network, the platform provides businesses with a fast, secure, and highly automated digital gateway to move capital across borders seamlessly, stripping out the delays and predatory fees of legacy banking rails.
