๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ”ฅ WHO'S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES? PT. 2 ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿšจ

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. Image
Image
Image
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. Image
This same Ron Gochez was the former chairman of MECHA. He also called for a Mexican revolution in the United States. Image
Image
MECHA has significant violent pro-Hamas elements. @bullfrog35 has extensively documented their extremism. Image
Image
Image
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.Image
@bullfrog35 An allied group is Centre CSO, with Gabriel Quiroz Jr. as their spokesperson. He bragged about a "rapid response network." Image
@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. Image
@bullfrog35 Union del Barrio claims to be entirely backed by membership dues and online sales and "fundraising efforts." Image
@bullfrog35 Their online store appears to sell only this... Image
@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. Image
Image
@bullfrog35 CANGRESS mostly has private grants from DAFs. Image
@bullfrog35 Centre CSO does not have an EIN. The two members mentioned by Influence Watch are both Communists. Image
Image
@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. Image
@bullfrog35 The protests had significant pro-Palestine elements. One of the chants was "From Palestine to Mexico, all walls have to go." Image
@bullfrog35 As explained last night, the presence of pro-Palestinian elements appears to be largely influenced by the PSL communist group. Image
Image
@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: Image
@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. Image
Image
@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. Image
Image
@bullfrog35 BAP operates under Community Movement Builders, with an EIN of 474653915. They receive an unspecified government grant and DAF donations. Image
Image
Image
@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. Image
@bullfrog35 Centre CSO raised $8000. Image
@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. Image
@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. Image
@bullfrog35 A 2010 Fox News article quotes Ron Gochez as calling for a revolution against white people. I found the video. Stand by... Image

๐Ÿ”น In college, Barack Obama helped co-found a local chapter of CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador), a U.S. group that supported the FMLN, a Marxist guerrilla front fighting the U.S.-backed Salvadoran government.

๐Ÿ”น CISPES often worked alongside the Nicaragua Network, which championed the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. (U.S. intelligence later confirmed that the Sandinistas supplied El Salvadorโ€™s rebels with weapons and training.)

๐Ÿ”น As the solidarity scene matured:

โ€ข 1985: Nicaragua Network + Detroit CISPES โžก๏ธ merge โ†’ CASC (Central America Solidarity Committee)
โ€ข 1993: CASC + MICAH โžก๏ธ merge โ†’ OSCA (Organization in Solidarity with Central America)
โ€ข 1998: Former Nicaragua Network activists incorporate the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), folding their old network inside as a project.

Today AFGJ still operates as a left-wing umbrella group ... the same lineage that began with 1980s โ€œsolidarityโ€ campaigns.

So yesโ€ฆ the activist ecosystem that once rallied for Marxist guerrillas in Central America evolved, merged, and rebranded, and figures like Obama (via early CISPES work) and later Bill Ayers (through AFGJ-linked circles) both trace lines back into that same network.Image
Image
Image
Image
CISPES (of which Obama founded a local chapter, according to David Garrow) was found to have furnished funds to Marxist rebels in El Salvador, in possible violation of the Firearms Control Act.

They also met with FMLN, potentially violating FARA.

The report goes onto detail other allegations that weren't substantiated, such as CISPES taking direction from foreign governments on when and where to demonstrate.Image
I found a declassified CIA document that states that Farid Handal, brother of the Salvadoran Communist leader, traveled to meet with representatives of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to create these solidarity networks in the USA -- including CISPES. Image

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisibleโ€™s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Taking a break from book writing for this...

This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. โœŠ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.

Now, theyโ€™re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. ๐Ÿ‘‘โŒ

This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and whatโ€™s really behind the โ€œNo Kingsโ€ movement.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together in real time.
๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Image
Image
When you go to the NoKings website, you'll find over a hundred partners listed, many of them familiar and many Soros-backed. They include big names closely tied to the DNC such as Marc Elias' Democracy Forward.
Greenberg and Levin are co-founders of Indivisible. Other than donor-advised funds, their backing primarily comes from Open Society and Fund for a Better Future. The latter is a shadowy nonprofit backed by Sergey Brin and played a key role in the infamous "Build Back Better" campaign of 2020.Image

Does anyone know how the SPLC is funded? They report receiving over $100MM in contributions each year, but CauseIQ shows they receive few large grants from other nonprofits; they report only 26MM and that's over multiple years. That's unusual. (And, no, they don't report receiving government money.)Image
I think I'm onto something. They get paid as vendors by a ridiculous number of nonprofits: Image

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Richard Grenell: praising "diplomacy" with Maduro, Chevron, and the pro-Venezuelan MAGA faction ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช

Just last week, Grenell declared:

"I've sat across from Nicolรกs Maduro... I believe we can still have a deal. I believe in diplomacy. I believe in avoiding war."

Maduro is a Communist tyrant who has upended hundreds of thousands of lives, Venezuela is the self-declared capital of Antifa, and serves as the Western hemisphere proxy for Chinese and Iranian interests.

Why is President Trump's special envoy talking like this on stage in Asunciรณn? ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡

The answer goes a lot deeper and darker than you'd think.

This might be my most controversial thread yet... but it involves a whole lot of MAGA players who are invested in maintaining the status quo with Venezuela, mostly through Chevron oil licenses.
For a long time, Chevron has had its tentacles on MAGA. Back on May 6th, a coordinated messaging campaign went up among multiple mega-influencers. Two days after that, one of the most famous MAGA influencers wrote her first op-ed concerning Chevron and China messaging. I redact the name because I don't want to make it about her.Image
Image
This early May timing coincided with the threat to shut down Chevron leases on May 27.

Earlier this year, Harry Sargeant III was identified as the one who opened up communications between Maduro and Grenell in an attempt to create an "oil-for-migrants" deal. His Image

@MrAndyNgo Here's the account. Have fun.
@MrAndyNgo This might be the first case of "Democracy Theory" radicalizing a killer (as opposed to the usual trans/antifa motives). He followed all the democracy folks. Posted a lot about saving democracy. Image
