Who Paid For The Protest?

Posted on by

On Saturday, Fox News posted an article about the No Kings protests that happened in various places around America. Anyone who watched any of the protests was bound to notice that the signs were pre-printed. Who paid for the signs and where did they come from?

The article reports:

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.

They are all sending members to the protests and one group said they plan to bring a message of “revolution” to the protests.

On Friday evening, at the corner of N. Fremont Avenue and N. 37th Avenue in Minneapolis, members of the Twin Cities chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation packed a car with stacks of bright red protest signs they had prepared at the Dream Shop for Saturday’s demonstrations. They are part of the Singham network and co-sponsors of the St. Paul protest.

It seems ironic to me that people who used the free market system of America to get rich now want to destroy that system.

The article notes:

The network’s messaging for the #NoKings echoes Singham’s own rhetoric describing the United States as a form of “fascism” and advocating organizing strategies rooted in Mao Zedong’s doctrine of a “People’s War,” which calls for revolutionary movements to embed themselves inside broader political struggles and radicalize them from within.

I wish the protestors could spend some time in countries that live under communism to see what it is really like.

Who Was Protesting?

On Saturday, the political left held No Kings rallies around the country. Just for the record, these were not grassroots rallies. There were a few people there who actually had an idea of what they were protesting, but videos of the protesters doing man-on-the-street interviews trying to explain what they were protesting are all over the internet and are genuinely funny. These were for the most part paid protesters who got pre-printed signs and were paid by the hour.

On Monday, Issues & Insights reported:

We wonder if anyone has conducted a demographic survey of the people who showed up at the “No Kings” protests around the country, because we suspect the results would be an embarrassment.

We noticed as a rally marched down the main street in Pasadena, California, that the protesters were comprised almost entirely of white people who were predominantly middle-aged or older. (This is a city that is 40% black and Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau.)

So we looked at videos and pictures from protests in other cities around the country this past Saturday, and noticed the same thing.

Seas of white faces. And lots of gray hair. Few, if any, blacks or Hispanics. Certainly not a representative sample.

This is a movement made up of people who pride themselves on “diversity, equity, and inclusion” and champion illegal immigrants and “people of color,” yet from what we could tell, the protestors were less diverse than attendees at the annual CPAC conference.

The article concludes:

We won’t bother to guess why the mainstream media ignored the evidence in front of their eyes. Nor will we try to speculate as to why the participants are so monochromatic. Although it is interesting to learn about how socialists and communist organizations were putting big money behind the protests.

We would bet anyone that had these rallies been for low taxes and less regulation, the media would have been screaming about the lack of diversity.

Still, what does it say about a so-called movement that appears to attract mainly middle-aged white people? Is this really a power to be reckoned with? Or just a bunch of disgruntled baby boomers and aging Gen Xers pathetically trying to find some purpose to their lives?

Whatever the reason, we wonder when #OscarsSoWhite founder April Reign will start her #ProtestsSoWhite social media campaign.

We have reached mass insanity.

It’s A Good Idea To Know Why You Are Protesting

Posted on by

Saturday was a beautiful fall day. It was one of those days where you might want to take a walk around your neighborhood or your city. Some of the older generation in America decided it was a good day to hold a “No King” protest. When you look at the age of the protesters and their professionally made signs, you begin to wonder what this protest was actually about. I suspect many of the protesters were simply living the memory of the good old days when they protested the government, the war in Vietnam, the military draft, etc., with their handmade signs. But what are they protesting today–there is no draft, President Trump has ended a number of wars, and the government hasn’t really changed and President Trump hasn’t been in office very long? There were younger protesters, and their answers as to what they were protesting were very interesting. I wonder what we are teaching our children.

On Monday, The Daily Wire posted an article about the protest. Their reporter asked the protesters what they were protesting.

The article reports:

The Daily Wire team joined throngs of marchers who took to the streets of the nation’s capital Saturday for the 2025 “No Kings” protest.

The Washington, D.C., rally was the focal point of similar events nationwide, meant to counter the “authoritarian threats” posed by President Donald Trump and his administration.

Protesters came prepared with posters and costumes. Many of them had gone through media training and learned chants, songs, and dances to perform. But for all that preparation, many of the protesters The Daily Wire encountered couldn’t answer what we thought was a simple question: “If Trump was elected, how is he a king?”

Responses ranged from blank stares to Kamala Harris-style word salads and vague references to “checks and balances.” Deep in a hole, a self-identified “he/she” claimed that Trump was taking away women’s right to vote. When pressed for information, he/she said “Trump has said that in interviews everywhere.”

[Editor’s note: he hasn’t].

Please follow the link to the article and watch the video of the young people who were asked why they were protesting.

The article notes:

“No Kings” is part of the Indivisible Project, itself part of George Soros’s Open Society Action Fund. The project was created to “support the grantee’s social welfare activities.” The Indivisible Project was awarded multiple grants, most recently they received $3 million from the Open Society Foundations.

High-profile Democratic leaders including Harris and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer encouraged participating on social media and in official statements.
