Summary

The Department of Homeland Security and Department of War have joined an investigation into a network of nonprofits funded by Shanghai-based American Marxist tech mogul Neville Roy Singham, allegedly sowing discord in the U.S. The probe includes multiple Trump administration agencies examining the coordination, funding, and online organization of agitator groups and nonprofits tied to Singham’s network. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is working with other agencies to uncover the inner workings of organizations “trying to stir up discontent.” Mullin stated that there’s a coordinated effort to stir up discontent online and that the department is talking to other agencies about it.


Our Reading

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

The investigation into Singham’s network has expanded to include multiple agencies, with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin working with other agencies to uncover the inner workings of organizations “trying to stir up discontent.” Mullin spoke exclusively to Fox News Digital after an ICE raid in Manassas, Virginia. The probe includes examining the coordination, funding, and online organization of agitator groups and nonprofits tied to Singham’s network. The network has been accused of sowing discord in the U.S. and spreading Chinese Communist Party propaganda. Mullin compared the actions of actors supporting the Chinese Communist Party to those of Joseph Stalin, stating that they aim to “destroy America from within” by causing distrust in the government and discontent on the streets.

The investigation has revealed that organizations have been coordinating their work using online channels, including encrypted text messaging apps. The Party for Socialism and Liberation, a self-described Marxist organization supported by Singham’s network, has played a central role in past anti-police and anti-ICE demonstrations. The investigation has also found that Singham has given millions of dollars to nonprofits that have spread Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

One observation is that the investigation has highlighted the use of online channels and encrypted messaging apps by organizations to coordinate their activities and spread propaganda, which has become a familiar tactic in recent years.
