There’s a growing body of reporting that points to a complex web of funding and coordination behind some of the recent protests — particularly those that escalated into riots in Los Angeles. Several investigations and media outlets have highlighted the roles of left-leaning organizations like the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), and the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL).

One particularly striking thread involves Neville Roy Singham, a tech millionaire with ties to China, who has reportedly funded Marxist groups including PSL. These groups have been active in organizing anti-ICE protests and broader anti-government demonstrations. Some of the rhetoric and materials used in these protests—like the “No Kings” messaging — have been linked to this network.

The FBI has confirmed it is investigating the financial trail behind these events, including any potential foreign influence or funding from entities linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Lawmakers like Senator Josh Hawley have also launched inquiries into whether taxpayer-funded nonprofits are indirectly supporting these actions.

So, while not every protest is part of a coordinated campaign, there’s credible evidence that some of the more disruptive ones are being fueled by well-organized networks with ideological and possibly international backing.

What is the going rate for screaming, chanting, holding up NO KING signs, throwing rocks and spitting at police officers, burning cars, looting businesses and destroying personal property-you know-mostly peacefully protesting?
