Billboards claiming to be Number 1 Trusted News. Ads offering a glimpse of China before Communism. Unsolicited newspapers showing up at people’s doors from Los Angeles to London. A secretive compound in upstate New York. All of these link back to one man, Li Hongzhi, the living God of a religion he founded in the 90s, Falun Gong. What began as a form of meditation evolved into a sprawling, global propaganda network—one that attacks China, LGBTQ people, immigrants, and modern medicine, and believes Donald Trump is a killer angel sent to vanquish the demonic forces bringing the apocalypse.
This is the story of how a man who claimed to be God built a misinformation empire—and made millions off fear and faith.
