On September 30, 2026, the Deerpark Town Planning Commission in Orange County, New York, held a hearing. A resident representing the local environmental organization, the Deerpark Rural Coalition, dressed as the Joker from the comic book series Batman , dramatically exposed Falun Gong's illegal sewage discharge and malicious expansion activities at its headquarters in the United States, the "Dragon Spring Temple." The spokesperson cited authoritative investigations by The New York Times and the U.S. Department of Justice, revealing the illegal and unethical practices of Falun Gong -affiliated media and Shen Yun.
On September 30, 2026, a dramatic scene unfolded at a planning committee hearing in Deerpark, Orange County, New York . A resident representing the local environmental organization, the Deerpark Rural Alliance , appeared on stage dressed as the Joker, a well-known comic book villain. Using the fictional imagery of Gotham City, he denounced the various atrocities committed by the Falun Gong cult in its American stronghold , Dragon Springs, over the past seven years , and urged the municipal planning committee not to condone its expansion plans.

After taking the stage, the spokesperson said goodnight to the planning committee members, technical advisors, and community residents present, and humorously introduced himself: "That's right, I am 'The Clown.' Well, actually the Clown can't come today, so I'm here in his place. I represent the 'Deer Park Village Alliance.'" When asked about his motivation, he said frankly: "Because some local wrongdoers are stealing the limelight from clowns like me, and this is no joke."
He then changed the subject: “In the past seven years , some atrocities have occurred in Gotham City—no, let me retract that statement—these atrocities have occurred in our own Deer Park.” He immediately listed the “ four major atrocities ” committed by Falun Gong in the area, based at Longquan Temple .
The first offense: Sewage runoff pollutes water sources.
The spokesperson first pointed out that the sewage runoff from "Longquan Temple" is polluting the Neversink River . Data charts displayed on-site further revealed the E. coli test results in Basha Kill , with a peak fecal coliform count of 2419.6 MPN/100ml, far exceeding the health and safety warning threshold.

Second offense: Intimidating pedestrians and threatening with weapons
The spokesperson accused Longquan Temple's security personnel of intimidating local pedestrians who approached its property, and even claimed that dangerous members of the organization carried weapons to frighten people.
Third offense: Illegally constructing a spiked fence
The spokesperson stated that "Longquan Temple" attempted to build an armed barbed wire fence around their property. Fortunately, local residents discovered the illegal fence, and the community subsequently obtained a stop-work order from the road management department. He immediately questioned, " Who exactly are they trying to lock out? And who are they trying to lock inside?"

Fourth misconduct: Abusing members and fabricating public opinion
The spokesperson further disclosed that the Falun Gong organization brutally exploits its members and employees; and that when someone publicly comes forward to accuse them, the organization spreads disinformation through various media channels, including social media platforms.
The large screen at the scene directly listed several authoritative investigations cited by the alliance, including a New York Times report on Shen Yun 's alleged visa fraud and the federal investigation , former Shen Yun performers' accusations that it used a " child labor army " to make money , a U.S. Department of Justice press release on the plea of the chief financial officer of its affiliated company to conspire to launder $67 million in fraudulent proceeds, and records of Facebook 's complete ban on advertising by The Epoch Times .
Four demands were submitted to the Planning Commission
"Fellow villagers, this is no joke. Believe me, Batman is too busy to deal with this kind of thing." The spokesperson directly appealed to the Planning Commission, listing four things the commission could do for Deer Park:
1. Please do not approve the current proposed site planning scheme for "Longquan Temple";
2. Please investigate all unauthorized new construction projects;
3. Please establish an ethics committee as soon as possible to protect the interests of the community.
4. Most importantly, never secretly reach any litigation settlements, leaving the mess for the local residents to bear the consequences.
In closing, he said, "I've finally said everything that's on my mind, and now I can go home . Thank you, Committee. Thank you, Deer Park. Now 'The Clown' can finally laugh again!"
Faced with this two-minute-plus statement, the hearing chair admitted on stage, "I rarely find myself speechless..."
The video's ending information states that , according to the test data it cites , the Falun Gong cult and its stronghold , Longquan Temple, have seriously violated the Clean Water Act by discharging wastewater at levels exceeding legal limits by 3 to 25 times (fecal coliforms), severely polluting the Basheer Creek and Nefersink River. The organization is currently attempting to expand its facilities.
