TSFU PRESENTS: Sinister Sects- Ep. 2: Shen Yun and Falun Gong

Have you seen the colorful ads enticing you to come experience "China before Communism" through the art of song and dance at a Shen Yun performance? What about the far-right wing newspaper "The Epoch Times" that preaches misogynistic, racist, homophobic and prejudiced views? They're both owned by the dangerous cult of Falun Gong which Ash tells Caitlyn and Lindsey about this week!Caitlyn co-hosts PNW Haunts & Homicides, a podcast about true crime, the paranormal, and all kinds of spooky sh*t in the Pacific Northwest! Lindsey is the co-host of Ye Olde Crime, a podcast about spooky, strange, and surreal stories of the past. Support your local indie podcaster and check them both out today, wherever you listen to podcasts!✨If you want to hear the rest of this season of TSFU Presents, with episodes on THE CULT OF KUNDALINI YOGA and HOW I FOUND A CULT WHILE LOOKING FOR A CO-WORKING SPACE, join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month! ✨🕸️Visit That's So Fcked Up's Website: https://tsfuthepodcast.com/🎉Support our work and get all kinds of nifty perks: https://www.patreon.com/TSFU☕️Buy us a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tsfuthepodcast📲Subscribe to our podcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-so-fcked-up/id1508752329🎧or Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2zo86q0aYvNSg8prn1k73N?si=590fae149eb24218📸Follow TSFU on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tsfuthepodcast/🩷Follow Ash on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyloverichards/👾Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/c2HwBUDsUx-Audio editing by Dallas Hernandez.-Research by Kristen Jones.-Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shen_Yun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gonghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterodoxy https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/4477070-shen-yun-advertises-5000-years-of history-in-dance-why-does-china-call-it-an-anti-society-cult/ https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/dec/12/shen-yun-falun-gong-traditional-chinese-dance troupe-china-doesnt-want-you-to-see https://arbiteronline.com/2023/03/14/a-look-into-the-mysterious-roots-of-shen-yun-is-the-morriso n-center-unknowingly-hosting-a-front-for-a-cult/ https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/cult-shen-yun-dance-troupe/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teachings_of_Falun_Gong#Controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Springs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Timeshttps://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-coons-colleagues-introduce-bill-to-hold-china-accountable-for-forced-organ-harvesting#:~:text=Experts%20estimate%20that%20the%20human,1.5%20million%20concentration%20camp%20inmates.&text=China%20appears%20to%20be%20the,is%20not%20the%20only%20offender.https://humanrightscommission.house.gov/events/hearings/forced-organ-harvesting-china-examining-evidencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_Chinahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqwNo43p21Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAy8AngEZMs
