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:
