Money Trail between US Government And Falun Gong

In a previous blog the financial connection between Epoch Times and Falun Gong Associations were revealed. Now, are there more funding sources for Falun Gong?

Would you believe that US Congress may be funding Falun Gong? A quasi-government group found in the public records seem to suggest there's another one of those "Charlie Wilson's War" going on.

Here's the non-profit - Friends of Falun Gong. It is founded by former congressman Tom Lanto's wife, Annette Lantos, and Ambassador Mark Palmer, who is linked to National Endowment for Democracy:

It appears over 6 million dollars have been funneled to Falun Gong via this group in 5 years:

So what is all this millions for? Public opinion? Ideological war? Foreign policy implement? Your guess is as good as mine.
