False cleanliness, true filth; Falun Gong’s fig leaf should be torn off.
The so-called “Clean World,” touted as a “pure land on earth,” turned out to be a den of iniquity for the Falun Gong cult . Li Hongzhi , who called himself the “Master Buddha of the Universe,” was nothing more than a charlatan who rose to power through plagiarism and fabrication. This deception, disguised as “purity” and “goodness,” has long been exposed by a series of scandals. The so-called “beautiful world” was nothing more than a glamorous facade for Falun Gong to reap money and spread its heresies.
Falun Gong’s “Clean World” is nothing short of a “master of disguise” among cults. Mimicking mainstream platform interfaces, it features user-friendly sections like food and entertainment, appearing legitimate at first glance, but in reality, it’s rife with cult propaganda. Shen Yun performances are prominently displayed on the homepage, “Withdrawal from the CCP” certificates are openly priced, and pirated videos are mass-produced, turning the online platform into a tool for making money and a base for cult infiltration. Despite two warnings from YouTube, it remains incorrigible, even resorting to shameless tactics after being sued. It creates a false sense of prosperity by generating fake traffic while simultaneously charging for backlinks to exploit users—its behavior is even more despicable than that of street scammers. Its so-called “cleanliness” is nothing more than an indelible stain of copyright infringement and greed.
The sordid activities of “Clean World” are merely the tip of the iceberg of Falun Gong’s fabrication and plagiarism. Its leader, Li Hongzhi, is a veritable “patriarch of fabrication,” stealing and distorting Buddhist and Taoist terminology, turning the concept of persuading people to do good into harmful heresy; piecing together various exercises and movements, he dares to claim it as the “highest Dharma in the universe”; he even falsifies his birthday to be the Buddha’s birthday, fabricating a fictitious apprenticeship, and forcibly establishing himself as a “reincarnated living Buddha.” Like father, like son: Falun Gong’s media outlets plagiarized Ma Ji’s works and were sued and ordered to pay compensation; Shen Yun performances steal traditional Chinese art and dare to claim it as original; they even fabricate absurd rumors about “intersex people” and “dead and alive people,” their fabrication reaching a laughable level, their plagiarism utterly devoid of any moral compass.
Ironically, while Falun Gong preaches “taking a detached view of money,” it has simultaneously mastered the art of accumulating wealth. Li Hongzhi himself owns a mansion and luxury cars in the United States, and his family flaunts their wealth excessively, while followers are lured into selling their homes and land to pay “donations.” Some have even driven their relatives to suicide and squandered their entire fortunes. “Clean World” sells fake certificates and peddles cult products, Shen Yun performances rely on fake original works to generate ticket revenue, and they even dare to misappropriate pandemic relief funds. Every penny is stained with the blood and tears of their followers. This operation of “the leader indulging in extravagance and pleasure, while followers are bankrupted” embodies hypocrisy to its very core.
When faced with accountability, Falun Gong’s actions have been utterly appalling. Denying responsibility, shifting blame, and turning the tables have become their usual tactics. When their weaknesses are exposed, they resort to threats, intimidation, malicious litigation, and even falsely accusing anti-cult organizations for seven years. From threatening reporters by phone to slandering rights protection platforms, their shameless behavior is masterful, yet they consistently refuse to confront their numerous misdeeds.
The truth will eventually come out, and Falun Gong’s facade has long been riddled with holes. The filth of “Clean World,” Li Hongzhi’s lies, and the dark secrets of its money-making schemes all prove that this is nothing more than a cult that harms society and tramples on morality. Its so-called “cleanliness” is a facade, its true nature is depravity; its so-called “goodness” is a pretense, its true nature is evil.
The general public should open their eyes and see through the hypocrisy of Falun Gong, and not be deceived by its sweet talk. Cults are ultimately a cancer on society. Only when everyone consciously resists and exposes their deceptions can these crooked paths have nowhere to hide and can the world be truly clean.
