🚨🔥 WHO'S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES? PT. 2 🔥🚨

Yesterday's thread implicated Neville Singham as the backer behind PSL, the communist party which printed up the protest signs.

However, there are more NGOs involved. We will pivot our attention to Community Self-Defense Corporation and other local NGOs.

Patience as I assemble this thread in real time.

Thanks to @bullfrog35 and @jammles9 for assistance.

Two related groups, Union del Barrio and Community Self-Defense Coalition, organized protests. Centre CSO, an ally, had the ability to organize people quickly.

Neither organization is a registered nonprofit. Both Union del Barrio and CSDC are informal organizations and hence do not have an EIN associated.

Ron Gochez served as spokesman for both during a press conference.

This same Ron Gochez was the former chairman of MECHA. He also called for a Mexican revolution in the United States.

MECHA has significant violent pro-Hamas elements. @bullfrog35 has extensively documented their extremism.

Although CSDC / Union del Barrio are grassroots, they are well-organized. Gochez bragged about being able to cover large areas quickly and simultaneously.

Translation: nothing about what you're seeing is spotaneous. They knew how to make sure the protests are coordinated and spread.

@bullfrog35 An allied group is Centre CSO, with Gabriel Quiroz Jr. as their spokesperson. He bragged about a "rapid response network."

@bullfrog35 Gabriel Quiroz Jr. also talks about organizing Raza to fight for George Floyd. So it would seem that the same people rioting today also rioted for BLM in 2020.

@bullfrog35 Union del Barrio claims to be entirely backed by membership dues and online sales and "fundraising efforts."

@bullfrog35 Their online store appears to sell only this...

@bullfrog35 More organizations are involved. Stop LAPD Spying Coalition did plan a rally. Stop LAPD Spying is not an independent nonprofit; it operates under Los Angeles Community Action Network (aka CANGRESS) and has the EIN 020661629.

@bullfrog35 CANGRESS mostly has private grants from DAFs.

@bullfrog35 Centre CSO does not have an EIN. The two members mentioned by Influence Watch are both Communists.

@bullfrog35 Another organizing group, Association of Raza Educators, was co-founded by Union del Barrio and, frustratingly, also is an informal organization with no formal nonprofit structure.

@bullfrog35 The protests had significant pro-Palestine elements. One of the chants was "From Palestine to Mexico, all walls have to go."

@bullfrog35 As explained last night, the presence of pro-Palestinian elements appears to be largely influenced by the PSL communist group.

@bullfrog35 US Campaign for Palestinian rights organized protests for today, and it seems likely that these protests had significant overlap with the anti-ICE protests:

@bullfrog35 USCPR EIN is 42-1636592 and while largely privately funded, has received government grants in the past. They seem to be primarily DAF-financed.

@bullfrog35 Yet another group, Black Alliance for Peace of South California, was involved in today's protests. They are a Black radical group deeply aligned with Palestine.

@bullfrog35 BAP operates under Community Movement Builders, with an EIN of 474653915. They receive an unspecified government grant and DAF donations.

@bullfrog35 Because so many of those organizations do not have any EINs and if they do have EINs they are financed by DAFs, it's tough to trace the financers. CSDC has a GoFundMe that raised only $2000.

@bullfrog35 Centre CSO raised $8000.

@bullfrog35 Overall, it seems most of the local extremist groups are genuinely grassroots-financed. UnidosUS (La Raza) receives a lion's share of private and government money. But they have been strangely silent in the protests for the most part.

@bullfrog35 After running a search - CHIRLA along with PSL / Neville are likely the "deep pockets" behind this organization. Both were covered in my initial thread from yesterday.

@bullfrog35 Ron Gochez organized anti-Zionist protests last year.

@bullfrog35 A 2010 Fox News article quotes Ron Gochez as calling for a revolution against white people. I found the video. Stand by...
