Jonathan Alpert makes a good case that “No Kings” events are bad group therapy for the highly credentialed. So who’s paying for these destructive therapy sessions? Former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Nomani reported Saturday for Fox News:

A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide “No Kings” protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a “revolution,” according to a Fox Digital News investigation.

According to a copy of the permit for the “flagship” march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.

But Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China.

Over nearly a decade, Singham has financed a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary socialist politics and frequently collaborate in protest campaigns, including the People’s Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition and CodePink, whose co-founder Jodie Evans is married to Singham. These groups work closely with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

In a separate recent story, Ms. Nomani reported on the constellation of organizations linked to Mr. Singham and described an event he co-sponsored last year along with “the Shanghai-based East China Normal University, and administered by the Chinese Communist Party. The university features a School of Marxism and teaches ‘Marxist journalism.’ Singham… and conference attendees closed the conference, standing at attention as ‘The Internationale,’ a communist anthem played, attendees pumping their fists in the air in solidarity.” Ms. Nomani continued:

Fox News Digital has identified at least 200 organizations in Singham’s network of about 2,000 organizations that directly work on propaganda that parrots the anti-American messaging of the Chinese Communist Party but is dramatically homegrown in digital shops from New York City to Los Angeles.

The investigation found that three Singham-linked U.S. nonprofits sent a total of $9.1 million in seven payments to a pro-China propaganda firm, Shanghai Maku Cultural Communications Co. Ltd. The payments haven’t been reported before…

Eleven U.S. nonprofit organizations form a core hub of the work that pumps pro-China, anti-America propaganda into the world, with a total of about $401 million flowing from Singham and his network into these organizations. The organizations didn’t respond to requests for comment…

That network has matured into a transnational protest and media machine… its infrastructure is visible on American streets, coordinated, funded and amplified by groups built quietly, deliberately and in plain sight. Singham and Evans didn’t respond to requests for comment.

For some reason other major media outlets seem to have lost interest lately in tracking this vast funding machine. Back in 2023 Mara Hvistendahl, David Fahrenthold, Lynsey Chutel and Ishaan Jhaveri reported for the New York Times on “a lavishly funded influence campaign that defends China and pushes its propaganda. At the center is a charismatic American millionaire, Neville Roy Singham, who is known as a socialist benefactor of far-left causes.” In their blockbuster report, the Timesfolk noted:

What is less known, and is hidden amid a tangle of nonprofit groups and shell companies, is that Mr. Singham works closely with the Chinese government media machine and is financing its propaganda worldwide.

From a think tank in Massachusetts to an event space in Manhattan, from a political party in South Africa to news organizations in India and Brazil, The Times tracked hundreds of millions of dollars to groups linked to Mr. Singham that mix progressive advocacy with Chinese government talking points.

Some, like No Cold War, popped up in recent years. Others, like the American antiwar group Code Pink, have morphed over time. Code Pink once criticized China’s rights record but now defends its internment of the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs, which human rights experts have labeled a crime against humanity.

… Mr. Singham, 69, himself sits in Shanghai, where one outlet in his network is co-producing a YouTube show financed in part by the city’s propaganda department. Two others are working with a Chinese university to “spread China’s voice to the world.” And last month, Mr. Singham joined a Communist Party workshop about promoting the party internationally.

Mr. Singham says he does not work at the direction of the Chinese government. But the line between him and the propaganda apparatus is so blurry that he shares office space — and his groups share staff members — with a company whose goal is to educate foreigners about “the miracles that China has created on the world stage.”

Would readers not find this subject highly relevant in current coverage of protests in the United States? Yet for some odd reason Mr. Singham’s name is now extremely hard to find in stories from large U.S. media outlets that often purport to be highly concerned about “dark money” in U.S. politics.

One would think it’s a news story when events presented as opposition to kings are so supportive of commissars.

Everything is fake?

I think I know why everything sucks... ...and it's because everything is fake We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs. We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research. We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products. We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything. We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves. We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage. We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real. We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat. We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments. We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths. We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months. We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made. IT. IS. ALL. FAKE. And we all yearn for what was once real. Don't you remember? Did you forget? There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract. When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does! When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them. When a family could live off a single income. When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it. When schools was HARD... and that was the point! When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house, When you bought something once... and it was yours forever. When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad. And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.

No kings explained

@Houseofyogi

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism. You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left's definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow. Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left. But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them. Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours. And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968. Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote. During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant. But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression. The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That's how you keep power without wearing a crown. Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire." They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn't stop at speech. The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook. During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings. January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided. Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated. CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up. 75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable. Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated. One side talks. The other side screams. The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday. Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism. The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud. 500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry. The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent. You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing. "Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right. Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over. Today his own party would call him a fascist. The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth. The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote. The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children. Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026: Censorship of political opposition. Democrats. Contempt for democratic process. Democrats. Tolerance of political violence. Democrats. State ideology forced on families. Democrats. Corporate-state fusion. Democrats. Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides. Cult of personality. Both sides. Ultranationalism. Republicans. Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared. You marched against kings on Saturday. You marched FOR kings. You just didn't know which was which. Stop being gaslit. I hope you understand what's at stake.

HOLY SMOKES. It was just confirmed that No Kings protests are funded by 500 ORGANIZATIONS with $3 BILLION in annual revenue nationwide Fox investigated and found that it's George Soros and Neville Singham-linked groups and nonprofits Marxist groups are involved, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and People's Forum It's being called a "STAGED, MANAGED PRODUCTION" We ALL KNEW it was staged and funded!

@rdgreen

This is a thought experiment. A dark one. But sometimes you have to ask the question to see the truth clearly. If someone wanted to systematically dismantle the United States—weaken it from within until it collapsed—what would that plan look like? Let me lay it out.

Step 1: Destroy the Border

The first thing I'd do is erase the concept of a sovereign nation. Borders are what define a country. Without them, America is just land—not a nation. I'd open the floodgates. Millions of illegal crossings. No vetting. No accountability. I'd call it "compassion." I'd call anyone who objects a racist. I'd overwhelm schools, hospitals, and social services until the system buckles under its own weight. I'd create a permanent underclass that owes its loyalty to the party that let them in—not to America. Why? Because a nation that can't control its borders isn't a nation at all.

Step 2: Defang Law Enforcement

Next, I'd make it impossible to keep order. I'd defund the police. I'd turn public opinion against the men and women who risk their lives to protect communities. I'd create cashless bail so violent criminals walk free the same day they're arrested. I'd make sure the message is clear: crime has no consequences. Why? Because when law-abiding citizens live in fear and criminals run the streets, society begins to unravel. People stop trusting their neighbors. They stop trusting their government. They stop believing in anything.

Step 3: Destroy the Family

The family is the foundation of every stable society. So I'd target it directly. I'd push sex education on six-year-olds. I'd normalize things that used to be unthinkable. I'd tell children they can keep secrets from their parents about gender and sexuality. I'd push experimental medical procedures on minors—and I'd fight to make sure parents had no say. When parents protested, I'd put them on watch lists. I'd label them domestic terrorists for wanting to protect their own children. Why? Because if you break the family, you break the transmission of values from one generation to the next. You create a society of atomized individuals with no roots, no identity, and no future.

Step 4: Gut Education

I'd fill classrooms beyond capacity. I'd lower standards until a fifth-grade reading level became a graduation requirement. I'd stop teaching American history and replace it with a curriculum of guilt and grievance. I'd tell children their country is evil. I'd tell them the flag represents oppression. I'd erase heroes and celebrate victims. Why? Because an ignorant population cannot govern itself. A people who hate their own country will not defend it.

Step 5: Weaponize Fraud

I'd take trillions of dollars from taxpayers and funnel it into a system designed to reward my political allies. I'd let welfare programs become slush funds. I'd look the other way while "improper payments" reached $2.7 trillion. I'd direct that money to media outlets that run cover for me, to NGOs that expand my political power, and to activist groups that keep my voters angry and dependent. When anyone tried to expose the fraud, I'd send my supporters into the streets to protest. I'd shut down the government before I'd let them audit my money machine. Why? Because a government that steals from its own people loses all legitimacy. And when legitimacy is gone, collapse follows.

Step 6: Flood the Country with Drugs

I'd let the fentanyl pour across the border. I'd watch 100,000 Americans die every year from overdoses. I'd call it a "public health crisis" and do nothing meaningful to stop it. When the Chinese labs that produce the poison were exposed, I'd lift sanctions on them. When cartels enriched themselves, I'd blame American consumers. Why? Because an addicted population is a weak population. A society drugged into oblivion cannot build, cannot fight, cannot survive.

Step 7: Weaken the Military and Embrace Enemies

I'd cut defense spending. I'd apologize for American strength. I'd treat our allies as annoyances and our enemies as misunderstood. I'd funnel billions to Iran while they chanted "Death to America." I'd watch them develop nuclear weapons and do nothing but talk. When a president finally acted to stop them, I'd call it "illegal" and demand an end to hostilities. I'd stand with terrorists against Israel. I'd protect Hamas apologists in Congress while condemning the only democracy in the Middle East. Why? Because a nation that cannot defend itself, and will not defend its allies, is a nation that will soon cease to matter.

Step 8: Rig the Game

Finally, I'd ensure that no matter how badly I governed, I could never be voted out. I'd fight voter ID. I'd oppose citizenship verification. I'd turn the very concept of election integrity into a "conspiracy theory." I'd import millions of new voters who depend on me for survival. Why? Because democracy only works when the people can remove bad leaders. Take that away, and you have something else entirely. Something that looks like Venezuela. Or Cuba. Or any other failed state that started with good intentions and ended in tyranny.

The Scary Part

The scariest thing about this thought experiment? We're not talking about hypotheticals. Every single one of these steps has been implemented by Democratic leaders across America. Open borders? Check. Defund the police? Check. Undermine parents? Check. Gut education? Check. Enable fraud? Check. Flood the country with drugs? Check. Embrace America's enemies? Check. Resist election integrity? Check.

The Question We Must Ask

If I were a Democratic leader who wanted to destroy America, I wouldn't need to invent a plan. I'd just follow the playbook they're already using. So here's the real question: Is it incompetence? Or is it intentional? Either answer is terrifying. Let me know what you think. And if you agree—pass this on.
