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

Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn't "spontaneous outrage."

This was organized. Funded. Coordinated.

Here’s a breakdown of the groups, the money, and the people pulling the strings.

Patience as I assemble the thread and verify information in real time 👇🧵Image
A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation. Image
CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants. Image
Image
In their most recent year, CHIRLA jumped from 12 million to 34 million in government grants. Nice!

However, this is probably from CA - "only" 450K in federal grants. Image
Image
These are their two federal grants, both completed. Now moving onto PSLWeb... Image
Image
The group which printed the signs for protests, Party for Socialism and Liberation, is not a nonprofit - they are a literal Communist party. Image
Finding financials is tricky, but I did find a Wiki reference to "ANSWER Coalition" Image
ANSWER Coalition is mentioned on their Wikipedia page to have significant financial overlap. Image
It is tough to find backings on either group, as they do not have a nonprofit associated with them. Both claim to be funded entirely by members. (🐄💩)

However, I did find a NY Post article claiming that both are funded by billionaire socialist Neville Singer. Image
Image
Neville Singham - sorry. Real nice guy. Activist who became a billionaire by pushing Chinese propaganda worldwide. Image
Image
Singham also financed the People's Forum - giving it over 20 million dollars. All 3 Singham-financed organizations were also heavily involved in the Columbia protests. Image
Image
The SEIU-CA president got arrested. I researched SEIU's financials, but they are mostly dues-backed. Image
Moving onto other organizations: it appears as though the Million Voters Project was involved in promoting the project. Image
Here's the magical D-word... Democracy ... on the MVP website. Image
Million Voters Project gets their funding from a variety of grants, no taxpayer funding. Image
That's the end of the deep search. Overall, my guess is if we had to finger a culprit behind all this - it's Neville Singham. He will be fertile ground in my feed in the coming days.

I'm going to wrap up the thread here. Thanks for following.
Just who is Neville Singham? Image
One last word: I normally don't pass on "gossip", but a credible source leaked to me that Qatar is heavily involved.

However, I haven't made that particular connection yet.

🧵 THREAD: How Utah Houses Migrants

Salt Lake City and surrounding areas have experienced a significant boom in population driven by international migration. All around Salt Lake County, multifamily housing is going up.

In one year alone (2023-2024), the Salt Lake City metro area gained 19,124 international migrants. Given Salt Lake City proper has only about 209K people, that is a significant change.

But, who's paying for this housing? I did some research and am sharing my compilation here. (Patience as I slowly compile in real time.)

BTW, this topic has nothing to do with the proposed federal land sales - which seems dead now.Image
Image
Utah Department of Workforce Service receives tons of federal money for refugee assistance. You can search for it in USA Spending, or browse the federal awards here: taggs.hhs.gov/Detail/RecipDe…Image
Image
The overall federal budget can be found here . Obligations nearly quadrupled from 3 billion in 2019 to a peak of 11.5 billion in 2023. usaspending.gov/federal_accoun…Image

🧵 THREAD: The history of Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK

Jodie Evans gets most of the attention as the co-founder of CODEPINK and Neville Singham's wife. But Medea Benjamin's history may be more interesting.

While creating the linked thread below, I dived into Medea Bejamin briefly - who had an interesting history of speaking to Chinese media.

She co-founded Global Exchange with her husband, Kevin Danaher, which goes on a number of "Reality Trips" to various closed countries - Cuba, Venezuela, among others.

If you've followed me long enough ... you know that's a big red flag. State-facilitated exchange trips are one of the most common "soft power" tools that countries have in exporting their ideology to others.Image
Image
Benjamin, per SFGate, has been a career activist since her college years, spending much of her time overseas in Africa. The Wikipedia page says that she joined Students for a Democratic Society in college - if so, this makes her yet another homegrown career NGO-ist. Image
Image
Image
The prior thread mentioned briefly that she went to Cuba from 1979 to 1983 to work as a translator for their official Communist Party newspaper. She lauded their comparative social equality, describing it as "I died and went to heaven."

She got deported after writing an anti-government article, having overestimated Cuba's taste for freedom of speech.Image

I received the following email from CODEPINK.

"We are writing to formally address and correct the false and defamatory statements made in your recent social media posts regarding CODEPINK. These claims—which falsely allege that our organization is funded by China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any foreign government or entity—are entirely baseless and constitute libel."

So, I will share the facts without spin:

Per Wikipedia, CODEPINK is 25% funded by Neville Singham, who is living in Shanghai and got rich off spreading CCP propaganda, and is under investigation by Congress for FARA violations.

CODEPINK is running a campaign called "China is Not Our Enemy," which promotes pro-China messaging, including denial of the Uyghur genocide, an atrocity affirmed by the U.S. Department of State.

The founder of CODEPINK, Jodie Evans, is married to the aforementioned Neville Singham.

In fact, the Uyghur denialism goes so far that Jodie Evans said in a YouTube interview, that Uyghurs are terrorists trained in Yemen and Syria who bomb shopping centers.Image
Image
Image
Image
Please share any more facts you have about CODEPINK below. Do not opine.

Here's another fact: CODEPINK offers group trips to China. Image
CODEPINK is on Friends of Socialist China page and has hosted book club discussions with Carlos Martinez, who is the co-founder of FoSC. Image

🧵 THREAD: WHO'S BEHIND TODAY'S OBBB PROTESTS

Today, protesters caused chaos and got arrested in the Capitol building.

Notably, many wore coordinated clothes and had pre-printed signs and banners.

Who financed them? Patience as I build the thread in real time.... Image
It wasn't hard to find who actually supported the bill. As we will see, they will have many of the same funders and backers. Image
Popular Democracy has the EIN of 453813436 and receives a lot of DAF money. It is associated with various Make the Road chapters - many of whom receive migration-associated federal grants. Image

🧵THREAD: "Fake MAGA," Foreign Ops & the Nick Fuentes Factor

This week on X has been chaotic, and every influencer I've talked to feels it.

A new report dropped, and it's making serious claims: that foreign propaganda accounts are masquerading as MAGA to hijack conservative spaces and even push people to turn on Trump himself.

The report goes beyond analyzing bots and foreign actors. It names names. And the New York post article buried the lede: it explicitly calls out Nick Fuentes and his network as central amplifiers.

Nick Fuentes is the third rail of MAGA X, and for good reason; to speak of him is to invite wrath and harassment. I could've left this volatile topic alone and I know I would've been better off for it.

But when I see what @SarahisCensored has endured - and the grace and courage she's shown - it's a reminder of 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." ... how can I possibly stay silent?

It’s time we break the taboo of calling out wolves in MAGA clothing, even the ones the bots prop up. I read the entire report. Now I'm going to walk you through what it really says.

And what we need to watch for. 👇

Patience as I assemble this thread in real time.
. @SarahIsCensored , a pregnant independent journalist, was the last major influencer to speak ill of Nick Fuentes. Her life has been made hell as a result. This is a small sampling of the harassment she has received:
@SarahisCensored Another sampling. The screenshots were so vulgar, I could not post them all.

I share them to show what it means to cross Nick Fuentes. And that if we are to clean our own house, we must be prepared to confront a great evil.

🇨🇳🧵 THREAD: CHINESE STATE PROPAGANDA BEHIND U.S. STREET PROTESTS 💥🇨🇳

This morning, we discussed how ANSWER Coalition, financed by Neville Singham, was behind yesterday's US protests.

Thanks to a breadcrumb from @labtechleigh , I found that ANSWER Coalition has an intimate relationship with Friends of Socialist China - which is a direct propaganda piece of the CCP.

This provides strong evidence that CCP is behind the pro-Iran protests we saw yesterday. Why are we permitting foreign entities to influence opinions on our soil? Can we send China the bill for the destruction they caused in the LA riots?

I'll be constructing this thread live, so patience is appreciated.Image
Image
Image
ANSWER Coalition does not like advertising its relationship with Friends of Socialist China on its website.

But Friends of Socialist China is happy to brag about its affiliations. First up, is Carlos Martinez - co-editor of Friends of Socialist China - he wrote a book supporting Maoism and ANSWER's Brian Becker was happy to endorse it.

Carlos Martinez has a bio on ANSWER as a frequent speaker for ANSWER-sponsored events, but it makes no mention of his Friends of Socialist China affiliation.Image
Image
Image
@labtechleigh In the prior thread, I showed how ANSWER was an initial signatory to a statement denying the Uyghur genocide. Click on the link ... and it takes you to Friends of Socialist China. ANSWER copied their wording verbatim. Image
