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:

(page 4, list of directors)

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.

Falun Gong's Dishonest China Reporting

Here's another example of Falun Gong newspaper Epoch Times' biased and dishonest reporting about events in China:

http://en.epochtimes.com/news/6-11-29/48739.html

Above article mentioned a "house church" leader secretly being executed, and cherry picks the defendant's lawyer to quote. Don't all defense lawyer claim innocence?

Never mind the "truth", the fact is the "House Church", Three Grades of Servants, is in reality a cult of Christianity that was killing people:

"The Three Grades", and their rival "The Eastern Light" are unregistered/underground Christian sects banned by the Chinese government - because they were killing eachother in order to retain and compete for membership.

These "cult of Christianity", thou in name are Christian, do not even believe in the Bible. For example The Eastern Light believes Christ has returned to Earth - in the form of an invisible woman. The Three Grade's Leader, Xu Shuangfu, actually named himself as the Messiah reborn.
Contrary to what Epoch Times reported, an open trial determined his guilt and punishment.

UPDATE

Another report of this violent cult from NY Times:
