In the early 1993 Ashur was a vocal evangelist for the Assyrian Universal Alliance. His pursuit of a more militant approach to finding solutions to Assyrian struggle in Iraq led him to leave AUA and with the help of a few former AUA members form the Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party in California.[1]

He has skilfully utilized the media for his political aims as president of Bet-Nahrain Inc., a 501(c)(03) public charity non-profit organization that operates a 24/7Assyrian television station KSBV Channel 23, out of Ceres.[2] He also runs a radio program, a television station and a magazine, along with AssyriaSat.

The source of revenue for the Bet-Nahrain, Inc which fuels Dadesho's political machine is said to be the members' donations, memberships, and the bingo games. According to the IRS report in 2003 Bet-Nahrain, Inc.'s revenues totalled a little over $325,000 and the total expenses totalled over $407,000. Yet the cost of running the Assyrian Satellite program and all other media outlets connected with Sargon Dadesho alone are well-over $50,000 a month.[1]
