Now it seems Rafael Cruz’s favorite news source is in trouble:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-accuse-far-right-newspaper-epoch-times-of-being-a-money-laundering-operation

The chief financial officer of The Epoch Times has been indicted for his alleged participation in a $67 million money laundering scheme that involves the far-right newspaper.

In an indictment that was unsealed by the Southern District of New York on Monday, Bill Guan was charged with one count of conspiring to commit money laundering and two counts of bank fraud. Each count carries at least a 20-year prison sentence.

While the SDNY noted that the charges “do not relate to the Media Company’s newsgathering activities,” the indictment makes it clear that Guan’s alleged scheme “benefited a multinational media company” and included a “Make Money Online (MMO)” team that helped pad The Epoch Times’ bottom line.

“In or about 2020, the Money Laundering Scheme caused tens of millions of illicit dollars to be transferred into the Media Entities’ bank accounts. In fact, that year, the Media Company’s internal financial accounting reflected an increased annual revenue over the previous year of approximately 410 percent—from approximately $15 million to approximately $62 million,” the indictment reads. “A significant portion of this increase was attributable to the Media Company’s Foreign Office, including the MMO Team, which was managed by WEIDONG GUAN, a/k/a ‘Bill Guan,’ the defendant.”

The group’s main Telegram channel, however, posted a message urging Proud Boys to stay calm and not get drawn into a trap and risk arrest. “Trump is, of course, getting railroaded but we will not be walking into any honey pots over this.”

https://www.thedailybeast.com/james-comer-helped-a-donor-get-chinese-hemp-it-ultimately-tested-as-marijuana?via=ios

Quote

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has for months used his power as House Oversight chair to assail Hunter Biden’s involvement in a failed business deal with a Chinese energy company.

But The Daily Beast has obtained emails and other documents showing that when Comer was running for governor of Kentucky, he himself was involved in a failed Chinese business deal. It involved importing Chinese hemp seeds through Comer’s office, when he was Kentucky’s agriculture commissioner, to benefit a campaign donor’s company that Comer had fast-tracked for his industrial hemp pilot program.

Quote

The documents—which The Daily Beast obtained after the Kentucky government released them to a third party in response to open records requests—contain a stunning revelation: while the emails show the involved parties clearly intended to import only legal hemp, two rounds of tests revealed the plants were essentially Chinese pot, containing illegally high levels of THC—the psychoactive compound that gives marijuana users a high.

Quote

The records chalk up the error to the decision to order seeds that “do not have good breeder documentation,” warning that the parties may “run into this issue again.” Emails show an intent to destroy the plants after the second test. If the plants were destroyed, however, it was not documented in the thousands of emails and attachments that the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) and Murray State University (MSU) produced in response to the open records requests. Records show Comer’s office wanted the KDA to oversee the proposed eradication but the trail at that point went cold—there appears to be no record of destruction or confirmation that state or federal law enforcement ever learned of the illegal plants. No one has spoken of these events publicly.

Spoiler

After the matter was resolved, Comer’s office sent a memo with his seal to program participants, advising on how to handle law enforcement inquiries.

“There is nothing criminal occurring with the projects,” the memo said. “The program is in compliance with both state and federal regulations; there is nothing to hide.”

One bullet point was written in bold. It read: “However, if a request to collect industrial hemp material for a testing sample is made[,] refer law enforcement to contact KDA and do NOT allow the sample to be collected.” The memo suggested contacting the deputy commissioner, noting, “Without a court order, or warrant, you are under no obligation to allow the collection of a testing sample.”

The affair overlapped with Comer’s gubernatorial primary campaign, for which the donor’s company hosted a fundraiser. While Comer made no secret of the industrial hemp pilot program—it was his top legislative priority as agriculture commissioner—emails between him, officials in his office, executives with the donor’s company, and officials at a university involved in the program, reveal an effort to keep the Chinese hemp debacle under wraps.

For instance, in a May 20, 2014, email to four people—including Comer and his chief of staff—an official with the donor’s company wrote that the donor had “confirmed that he has some seed being sent directly to your office from China.” The official added that Comer’s office should send the hemp seeds directly to their academic liaison at MSU—copied on the email—who “agreed to test them.”

The email concluded, “I need to keep this between the four of us.”

Comer did not reply to the email.

The shipment arrived on May 23, according to a follow-up email. It was a sensitive time—on May 14, the KDA sued the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration over the seizure of 250 pounds of hemp imported for its pilot program from an Italian supplier, drawing national attention. The D.E.A. released the Italian hemp one day after the company notified Comer of the inbound Chinese shipment.

Comer has cited the hemp program as a crowning achievement, lauding the project when he tried to recreate its success in the first bill he sponsored in Congress, the failed “Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2017.” However, the Chinese hemp imports—potentially mislabeled “as a decoy” for customs inspection and eventually found to contain quantities of THC nearly ten times the legal limit—were never made public.

‘They want to get in on this’

The company at the center of the story is Caudill Seed, based in Kentucky and the “poster child” for Comer’s program. Caudill Seed had a strong business interest in the first-in-the-nation program, emails show, including a plan to fashion hemp into car door panels.

It’s unclear whether Caudill Seed was an officially sanctioned hemp producer at the time of the shipments from China. Comer’s pilot program made Kentucky the first state to re-legalize hemp production, and while Caudill Seed eventually secured official status, emails around the time of the shipments indicate they struggled to get import permits, and the KDA program website did not mention the company. While local news reports in spring 2014 identified Caudill Seed as a program partner, MSU materials did not. Caudill’s official hemp production application with the KDA is dated November 2014.

Those articles, press releases, and university documents only mention European and Canadian imports. Furthermore, Chinese plants were missing from later reviews of the program. For instance, Tony Brannon, then dean of the MSU School of Agriculture—the school’s point person in the emails and a Comer donor—published a glowing retrospective of the pilot program on Murray State’s website in 2019. The review acknowledged Caudill Seed’s role and congratulated the program for overcoming setbacks such as supplier issues, stigma, and the DEA seizure. But Brannon, who called Comer a “good friend” in the article, did not mention the Chinese hemp.

In response to The Daily Beast’s questions, MSU provided a statement lauding Brannon and noting his retirement last January.

“Former Dean of Agriculture Dr. Tony Brannon is a well-respected member of the campus community who led innovative research efforts regarding the cultivation and production of hemp, carefully ensuring that these efforts were consistent with legal requirements,” the statement said.

It added: “Murray State University has no knowledge of any concerns or issues regarding this matter.”

The Daily Beast obtained the university’s own data confirming the illegally high THC content, as part of the open records production. The school did not reply to follow-up inquiries.

In a text message responding to detailed questions, Brannon said, “I am aware that Murray State University has issued a statement to you. I stand by that statement and have nothing further to add.” The Daily Beast asked how his central role in the events squared with MSU’s claim of “no knowledge.” Brannon did not reply.

Comer and the KDA did not respond to contact attempts. Caudill Seed did not respond to multiple inquiries. Carl Gering, a former employee featured prominently in the emails, told The Daily Beast he retired in March 2020.

“No comment to 10-year-old emails,” Gering said.

Headquartered in Louisville, Caudill Seed is a family-run operation, founded in 1947. Co-owner and longtime chief operating officer, Sanford “Dan” Caudill, formed a close relationship with Comer during his 2011 campaign for agriculture commissioner.

That year, state campaign finance records show, Dan Caudill and his brother, CEO Pat Caudill, made maximum donations to Comer. Shortly after the hemp tests in 2014, the company hosted a fundraiser for Comer’s gubernatorial bid, netting more max-outs from Dan, Pat, and other Caudills. In 2015, Dan Caudill gifted another $1,000 to Comer’s U.S. House bid. Federal records show Dan Caudill has contributed a total $3,500 to Comer’s congressional campaigns.

In 2014, Caudill Seed had business ties to China, including at least one facility and at least two patent applications that were eventually approved. Comer knew the company had been looking to China, telling the Frankfort State Journal in 2012: “They’ve been to China and other countries and researched what the seed market looks like over there. They want to get in on this.”

While Comer at first acknowledged that some pilot program imports may come from China, he appears to have stopped after 2013. That June, Comer criticized Virginia-based pork producer Smithfield for its merger with a Chinese company, telling the State Journal, “It’s always a concern when a communist country buys a very important agribusiness in the United States.”

Comer hews to such lines of attack today, with special criticism for the Biden family.

Last July, in an interview on Fox Business, Comer blamed Joe Biden for China “gaining access to our markets” when he was vice president—a period that overlapped with Comer’s involvement in efforts to import Chinese hemp. Last August, Comer told former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, “The most illegal thing in the world for anyone in Washington is to take money from foreign nationals from China.”

While Comer knew about Caudill’s Chinese ties, it’s less clear whether he knew about Dan Caudill’s criminal record. News reports document drug arrests as far back as 1974, including the largest seizure of drugs in Oldham County—600 pounds of marijuana grown on his farm. A representative for the Kentucky state archive, which now controls those records, told The Daily Beast Caudill was ultimately “convicted of trafficking in marijuana and hashish and got 10 years total.”

(Dan Caudill is to this day a prominent advocate for rehabilitative employment programs for felons, efforts cited in a 2015 Brennan Center for Justice white paper authored by bipartisan officials including Huckabee, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Hillary Clinton, and then-Vice President Biden.)

Comer promoted Caudill Seed. In 2012, months into his first term as agriculture commissioner and as he rolled out his hemp initiative, he gave the company a “Kentucky Proud Partner in Excellence” award. In a radio interview, Comer touted Caudill Seed as “a signature agribusiness,” saying, “We just want to tell them how much we appreciate them, see how we can continue their growth, and thank them for their accomplishments.”

In 2013, Louisville Business First reported that the Caudill brothers “became interested in [hemp] when they met James Comer, now Kentucky’s secretary of agriculture, during his 2011 campaign for the office.”

A farmer himself, Comer had long advocated for industrial hemp. He viewed the crop as an untapped revenue stream for an agricultural sector which stagnated after tobacco buyouts in the early 2000s. Once a top hemp producer, Kentucky, like other states, banned the plant in response to legal restrictions in the late 1950s. In 1971, the federal government classified hemp as a controlled substance due to its similarities with marijuana. For decades, production was strictly regulated.

While hemp and marijuana come from the same plant, cannabis sativa, industrial hemp strains contain only trace levels of THC. Even in conservative Kentucky, Comer—who has called marijuana hemp’s “evil cousin”—was far from alone in arguing that the plant was unreasonably outlawed. (In December 2023, Comer said he supported Washington, D.C., legalizing marijuana, though it was still outlawed in Kentucky. Last year, Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear legalized medical cannabis through an executive order, effective Jan. 1, 2025.)

As agriculture commissioner, Comer built a bipartisan coalition that in 2013 made Kentucky the first state to re-legalize industrial hemp. Comer’s pilot program drew wide support, even ardent backing from the state’s most powerful pol, Sen. Mitch McConnell.

That day, Brannon submitted MSU’s production report to the state agriculture department. He noted “China variety fiber and seed delivered to Caudill Seed,” and listed six optional suggestions for improvements—including “plant earlier (mid April),” “mechanical harvest,” and “produce handbook for Kentucky hemp production.” The report includes an attached table of the THC readings, but Brannon did not otherwise comment on them.

It is not clear from the emails what happened to the high-THC Chinese hemp. An official with Comer’s office advised Caudill Seed to hold off on disposal until someone from KDA could oversee the process, but if that process was followed it is not confirmed in the records.

When Brannon sent the final results, he wrote: “I’m just proud to be associated with Caudill Seeds and the addition of your friendships and our professional relationships was a highlight of my 2014 year.”

Brannon signed the email, “Dean of Hemp.”

That June, Comer lost his gubernatorial primary. After that, he ran for Congress and won. In December 2015, Brannon gave $250 to that effort, and in November, Dan Caudill, now CEO of Caudill Seed, contributed $1,000.

Dan Caudill gave Comer’s campaign $1,000 in both 2020 and 2021, and another $500 this April, federal records show. No other Caudill Seed employee has donated to Comer since 2014.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/feds-accuse-far-right-newspaper-epoch-times-of-being-a-money-laundering-operation

The chief financial officer of The Epoch Times has been indicted for his alleged participation in a $67 million money laundering scheme that involves the far-right newspaper.

In an indictment that was unsealed by the Southern District of New York on Monday, Bill Guan was charged with one count of conspiring to commit money laundering and two counts of bank fraud. Each count carries at least a 20-year prison sentence.

While the SDNY noted that the charges “do not relate to the Media Company’s newsgathering activities,” the indictment makes it clear that Guan’s alleged scheme “benefited a multinational media company” and included a “Make Money Online (MMO)” team that helped pad The Epoch Times’ bottom line.

“In or about 2020, the Money Laundering Scheme caused tens of millions of illicit dollars to be transferred into the Media Entities’ bank accounts. In fact, that year, the Media Company’s internal financial accounting reflected an increased annual revenue over the previous year of approximately 410 percent—from approximately $15 million to approximately $62 million,” the indictment reads. “A significant portion of this increase was attributable to the Media Company’s Foreign Office, including the MMO Team, which was managed by WEIDONG GUAN, a/k/a ‘Bill Guan,’ the defendant.”

How close does this version (2024) of the GOP under Trump loosely mirror the Nazi and Hitler's rise in Germany...

In a country where leaders are elected, Hitler joins a relatively small movement in Germany much like Trump and the Tea Party/GQP.

The Nazi party publishes a 25-point program to transform Germany. Project 2025 is formed in the event Trump wins in November.

Hitler is the Nazi Party much like Trump has overtaken the GOP.

2020 was every bit a failed coup just like the Munich Putsch.

Hitler was imprisoned. Trump is seemingly guilty, but loyalists are keeping him from prosecution and imprisonment in multiple courts.

After imprisonment, Hitler re-establishes himself in control, much like Trump has done after numerous party losses since 2018 (Senate, Presidency, House).

Hitler had the Great Depression to help create fear and anger. Germany's economic situation is far worse than the reality of America. But, Americans definition of destitute is rather unrealistic. We are largely spoiled in American excesses, sometimes even the poorest of us. It's relative. We have seen American corporations go to extreme lengths these last four years to raise consumer prices without the costs of production to justify it. Exploding profits. American capitalism seemingly concentrating wealth for the 1%. Have they charged enough and taken enough wealth to make people feel "poor" and angry?

Hitler lost before he ever ascended to power. Trump did lose his last election, though he won previously. When Hitler lost, the Nazi party became the largest party in Germany. Are hard right GOP the largest block of voters, who vote together and all the same, in America? Seemingly they shouldn't be but the rest don't always show up to the polls. Democrats are split with parts of the party seeing Biden and friends as too centralist. Independents are not a large voting block.

Fire Decree suspends civil liberties. Trump wants to be "dictator for a day". I am not sure anybody is confident where police forces and the military stands on the topic of Trump and forceful takeover.

Hitler purges leadership he deems not loyal, members who are deemed part of establishment or anti-Nazi. Trump talks of retribution and clearing non-GOP loyalists from all branches of US Government. Taking retribution on those who "wronged" him.

Hitler energized crowd but never was ultimately the architect. Same for Trump.

Several factors exist in both cases: heavy, heavy propaganda were employed by both, political instability (hyper partisanship in America, shutting down the govt leg. by the Republican House the last two years and GOP donors in the first two years), exploiting nationalist sentiments, etc.

Is there enough economic hardship for the middle class to flip the switch for Trump (without realizing the consequences)? Or, have the GQP laid enough groundwork (with the spineless Democrats watching on) for overtaking America regardless of outcome?

Like Mussolini showed Hitler and the Nazis, take over the country first and then justify it later.

The white trad-wife TikToker who casually dropped the n-word in a cooking video that went viral Monday is already paying for her ignorance, with her employer, Rophe of the Carolinas, announcing it had let her go with immediate effect on Tuesday.

The woman at the center of the controversy, Lilly Gaddis, referred to her friends’ husbands as “broke ass n***s” in the clip—dropping the racial slur in a slight southern drawl so naturally, many speculated she must use it in casual conversation.

Quote

Gaddis, whose TikTok account was taken down by Tuesday evening, boasts 50,000 followers on X. On that platform, she showed no remorse for her comment and instead reshared posts from right-wing influencers who rushed to defend her hate speech.

“If my freedom of speech taken, they’ll be coming for yours next,” she posted Monday night, not long after posting a clip where she said she couldn’t “find a care” for the outrage she induced.

Quote

Gaddis did not strike a particularly conciliatory tone after Rophe of the Carolinas, a home health care company for the elderly and disabled, confirmed her departure in a fiery statement on Tuesday.

“Thanks black community for helping to launch my new career in conservative media!” she wrote on X. “You all played your role well like the puppets you are.”

In its statement, Rophe emphasized that Gaddis was a “newly hired” employee and that her statements “do not align” with the values and beliefs of the company, which is “operated by African American female and immigrant owned businesses.”

A since-deleted LinkedIn page listed Gaddis as a graphic designer who lives in the coastal city of Wilmington, North Carolina.

Yep.
To be clear, we live in a country where outwardly racist conduct is a virtue…to be praised…and to be monetized.
It’s not a negative…it’s a lucrative positive. Fuck this country.
