Inside America's Protest Machine: Who's Funding The Chaos?
A spreadsheet circulating on X, shared by @DataRepublican on June 13, 2025, appears to expose a coordinated network of activist groups orchestrating monthly protests across the United States—including the recent 'Tesla Takedown' on February 15, 2025. The document identifies multiple organizations—reportedly 22 in total, according to the original post—including CHIRLA, which allegedly received $34 million in grants, and progressive advocacy arms like Vote Save America. The coordination suggests these demonstrations are far from spontaneous grassroots activism. The spreadsheet, corroborated by posts from journalist @AsraNomani, shows a pattern of overlapping organizers and synchronized nationwide protest dates. Critics on X, including @DataRepublican, have labeled the network a potential 'color revolution'—a term historically associated with uprisings like Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution, where foreign-funded NGOs were widely believed to have played a role. A 2016 article in the Journal of Democracy discussed how NGO networks can sometimes serve as soft-power instruments for geopolitical influence, lending context to the comparison. Concerns over foreign involvement have surfaced alongside allegations that Neville Singham, a controversial activist and donor, is linked to groups behind the June 8–9 protests, as previously reported by The Dallas Express. Multiple outlets have accused Singham of having ties to entities aligned with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interests, though no formal charges or direct financial links have been proven. These reports have nonetheless intensified scrutiny of nonprofit funding channels. Taxpayer dollars may also be fueling the activity. According to @DataRepublican's analysis of public filings, CHIRLA's grant income surged from $12 million to $34 million within a year. Other organizations, such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), are said to operate with opaque donor networks. The failed H.R. 5128 Nonprofit Transparency Act of 2023, which aimed to require 501(c)(3) nonprofits to disclose foreign donations, left a loophole that critics say enables this kind of funding. Watchdog groups have long warned that many nonprofits do not fully comply with donor transparency standards, allowing millions to circulate with limited federal oversight. Users on X expressed outrage. @JKash000 asked, 'Why is a nonprofit charity funding riots against American citizens?' Another user, @TonyDGianino, posted, 'By paying taxes, we're funding the destruction of our own country.' Such reactions reflect mounting public distrust in nonprofit and government oversight, with increasing calls for audits and federal investigations. 'The IRS needs to step in,' wrote @SaveUSAKitty. This controversy goes beyond isolated demonstrations—it raises questions of influence and intent. The spreadsheet's pattern of methodically scheduled, nationwide events mirrors tactics seen in past politically motivated revolutions. As @realMAG1775 noted, drawing clear lines between domestic billionaire donors and alleged foreign-linked operatives like Singham is crucial. The involvement of platforms such as ActBlue and affiliated PACs suggests a convergence of financial and ideological motives. Congress must act. Weak regulatory oversight has allowed what @DataRepublican describes as a 'well-oiled machine' to exploit DHS grants and route money through nonprofits, potentially turning taxpayer funds into fuel for political agitation. Proposed reforms—such as mandatory disclosure of foreign donations and stricter IRS compliance audits—could help restore accountability. Until then, Americans may be unknowingly bankrolling a protest apparatus with global ambitions. As the nation watches, one question remains: Are these uprisings authentic expressions of dissent—or orchestrated campaigns to destabilize American society? The emerging evidence increasingly points to the latter—and demands urgent scrutiny.

Bill O'Reilly: Chinese espionage rose 1,000% under Biden
(NewsNation) — Political commentator Bill O'Reilly said Chinese espionage in the United States increased by approximately 1,000% during the Biden administration, citing evidence including Chinese property purchases, spy balloons and recent arrests of individuals involved in suspicious activities. O'Reilly said Wednesday on NewsNation's 'CUOMO' that he had spoken with President Donald Trump and found him 'very optimistic about the trade with China improving dramatically,' though O'Reilly expressed neutrality on the prospects for improved relations. O'Reilly said he recently traveled to Beijing at Chinese officials' invitation, paying his own way to advance potential U.S.-China cooperation. He said FBI Director Kash Patel has been quietly tasked with monitoring the growing espionage threat from China. Rep. Luna: China is dangerous, behind funding of protests His comments come as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is pushing to investigate possible foreign influence behind U.S. protests. Luna announced a formal document request to Shanghai-based billionaire Neville Singham, who she claims is tied to the Chinese Communist Party and funding anti-ICE and anti-Israel demonstrations. If Singham refuses to comply, Luna says she'll refer him to the DOJ for prosecution. O'Reilly said the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, which he characterized as 'militant far left,' received $34 million from California in 2023 and coordinated with unions to plan the demonstrations. O'Reilly said the group has ties to George Soros' Open Society Foundation and received $200,000 from the Biden administration. He claimed California taxpayers effectively funded protests. Bessent testifies as US, China reach trade deal framework Regarding Middle East tensions, O'Reilly said Trump does not want to participate in bombing Iran because it would disrupt potential China negotiations, Ukraine policy and the global economy. But he predicted weekend negotiations between Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian leaders represent 'the last chance' for a diplomatic solution. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
