🇨🇳🧵 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.

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.

@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.

@labtechleigh In 2022, ANSWER Coalition urged its supporters to attend events hosted by "Pivot to Peace" in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Shanghai Communique. The Shanghai Communique is a 1972 diplomatic document recognizing Taiwan as part of China.

ANSWER's national coordinator, Brian Becker, frequently participates in Friends of Socialist China events. Curiously, ANSWER itself does not have a lot of information on China on its website since 2022 - they clearly do not want their supporters to know the extent of their ties to China.

@labtechleigh Multiple members of ANSWER Coalition sit on the advisory board of Friends of Socialist China, their "Who We Are" page. Derek Ford - ANSWER organizer, Sarah Flounders - ANSWER speaker.

@labtechleigh Ken Hammond also sits on the Friends of Socialist China Board and is a member of the PSL. FRSO's Mick Kelly also sits on the board.

You get the idea.

Friends of Socialist China has extensive overlap with ANSWER Coalition and PSL through their advisory board.

@labtechleigh So, how is Friends of Socialist China linked to the CCP? Well, for one thing, this very month they were part of a NGO delegation to China, sponsored by "China NGO Network for International Exchanges" - a straight-up state-ran NGO.

"China NGO Network for International Exchanges" AKA CNIE "works under the direction of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (IDCPC)."

Keep that in your mind.

Anything taking IDCPC funding is taking CCP money. And they've sponsored plenty of Friends of Socialist China's trips and activities.

Keith Bennett, one of the co-editors of Friends of Socialist China, is Vice-Presidents of the British 48 Group Club. 48 Group Club was a key player in establishing UK's current relationship with China and included Tony Blair and has "unrivalled level of trust and intimacy with the top leadership of the CCP." Their chiarman was featured in CCP media as receiving the China Reform Friendship Medal from Xi Jinping himself.

@labtechleigh Danny Haiphong, the third co-founder of Friends of Socialist China, literally writes for Chinese state-run media - he writes for China Global Television Network (CGTN) and runs a YouTube channel that can only be described as Baghdad Bob style propaganda.

There's much to dig up here - like what other NGOs is CNIE financing through the Communist Party?

But the key takeaway is: ANSWER Coalition is doing the bidding of the CCP.

When you see these protests happening on US soil organized by ANSWER Coalition, FRSO, PSL, or other groups - get angry. Not only because these are Marxist influence. But because these are literal foreign interventions designed to indoctrinate our youth and to change the direction of our foreign policy.

We must eliminate their CCP funding sources and FARA their organizers.

Congress mentioned me in the letter announcing their intent to subpoena Singham. I aim this to be only the beginning of the impact this feed will make. I won't stop until we eliminate all the dark money from our system and make us a true Republic again.

Another finding - FoSC's co-founder Danny Haiphong IS an official instructor of People's Forum, which is another one of Neville Singham's groups. Brian Becker (ANSWER's National Coordinator) is an instructor as well. So, yeah, safe to say that the links between ANSWER/Singham and CCP go very deep.

Danny Haiphong also pushes a lot of pro-Russia propaganda. Nasty anti-Western propagandist.

@labtechleigh . @JamesHartline any help in identifying the delegates to Beijing from FoSC? They'll probably be on the advisory board.
