I don't know about "once-in-a-generation," but losing a safe R seat after seven terms to chase the accolades of conspiratorial Jew-hating grifter podcasters is definitely special!

💰 FOLLOW THE MONEY. 🤯 WATCH THE MELTDOWN.

$285 MILLION from a Shanghai-based communist tycoon.

That’s what funded the network whose activists spent this week on Capitol Hill bird-dogging lawmakers.

When I turned the cameras on them, they had a meltdown.

Their operation illustrates cognitive warfare against American: the systematic use of money, media, protests, political pressure and propaganda to shape what Americans believe and feel.

Earlier this year, I added up the numbers for a five-part @FoxNews Digital series: Neville Roy Singham, an American-born communist tech tycoon living in Shanghai, moved $285 million into a network of U.S. nonprofits that organize street actions, produce propaganda and lobby Congress — all while operating as tax-exempt charities.

The result is a decade-long campaign of anti-American messaging that aligns with Chinese Communist Party priorities.

On Wednesday, I spent six hours following the Singham network’s activists as they cornered members of Congress and demanded cuts to the U.S. military budget, an end to U.S. military ties with Israel and support for communist regimes from Cuba to China.

This tactic is called “bird-dogging.” Watch their confrontations—and their efforts to obstruct my reporting—in the 🧵

I saw some of the network's msot promient organizers: CodePink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, who married Singham in 2017; CodePink D.C. organizer Olivia DiNucci; CodePink activist Tighe Barry, Benjamin’s husband; and BreakThrough News host Rania Khalek, who says she lives in Lebanon.

The money that reached their groups:
💰 People’s Forum: $22.44M
💰 CodePink: $1.33M
💰 BreakThrough BT Media: $1.098M

All from Singham.

This week, activists from these groups sought to influence specific legislation. Their funding matters because it helps sustain the organizing and media operations behind that political pressure.

Three House committees — China Select, Judiciary, and Ways and Means — have investigated the network for allegedly operating as unregistered foreign influence that defends the Chinese Communist Party, Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah and communist regimes worldwide. They deny the allegations.

CodePink’s Benjamin and Evans just returned from a propaganda junket to China. Rania had a long record of defending Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. The People’s Forum has been a central hub for the anti-Israel, anti-U.S. protest wave, especially the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas on Israel.

When I turned the camera on them and asked about ordinary questions about their funding and tactics, they blocked the lens, hurled insults, and tried to block my path through the public hallways of the People's House, as it's called.

Rania had a Party for Socialism and Liberation activist film her confrontation as she lashed out at my questions. BreakThrough News later posted the clip, trying to shame me.

In cognitive warfare, that tactic works if you aren't strong. I am very strong against such tactics because I have seen them deployed for so many decades now.

One follower praised her “psychic militancy.”

I've seen it 1,000x as I cover protests. Shouts by anti-ICE protesters to hardworking Americans, telling them: "Go kill yourself," because they dare to work in immigration enforcement. Bloody cries of destroying Israel "from the river to the sea." Condemnations of America as "AMERIKKKA."

It's all meant to shame, silence and overwhelm the brain so that any level of nonsense can enter.

Watch how the shouting and accusations overwhelm the exchange, pushing the original questions aside. As my @FoxNews Digital colleague @HannahBrennan99 brilliantly edited my footage, she had one word: WOW.

The audience for these confrontations extends far beyond a lawmaker or a journalist in a hallway. These displays of rage are meant for an audience captured with a camera. Once posted online, they become messages aimed at the world.

But what I learned: They can dish it out. They just can’t take it.

Follow the money. Watch the meltdown.

And thank you to all of you for your appreciation and support as I go into the trenches to bring dispatches like this one back to you for Fox News Digital.

I do it because you have to see and feel the weapons of propaganda, intimidation and abuse hurled at someone to ever win the cognitive war and build an iron dome for your brain.

I want to show you that you can face the cognitive war and win with truth, rational thought and clear thinking.

Climate change was always fake. Even the leftists who pushed it knew it.

And apparently, they find it funny that anyone ever took them seriously.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

Mark Levin got locked out of his AOL email and had already made fun of himself for still using it. You had to pile on with the dial-up, landline, and Buddy List jokes. It wasn’t funny or a joke or the first time. It came off as mean and petty and you damn well know it. You are embarrassed and that’s why you are lashing out. Harmeet Dhillon called the conduct condescending to older Americans. Hardly think she is a neocon. You answered by asking whether Dhillon would cry if he made fun of VCRs. Which was yet again condescending and rude.

“Boomer brigade”

“Neocon”

What are you a child? You need to telegraph to your team to take your side when you act like an arrogant prick? Does it make you feel better about yourself? Does it make some kind of a policy argument?

You always turn a comment about your conduct into a fight between factions on the right.

Everyone who doesn’t subscribe to your views is not in fact a neocon. You know that because you are well versed in what the word neocon actually means. You are also well versed in Marxist rhetoric and changing the definitions of words to serve your own interests, so you know that continuously calling every single person who doesn’t agree with you a neocon is a leftist tactic. How do you know that so well? Because you have a whole podcast dedicated to exposing this kind of behavior on the left.

Why don’t you take your own advice.

We are in the midst of a five-alarm fire on free speech and privacy internationally.

Politicians across the West are demanding new powers for their spy agencies to do what East Germany's secret police, the Stasi, did.

Americans, Europeans, and anyone else online will have their privacy invaded, and personal information, including information about their health and sexual orientation, potentially shared with foreign spy agencies, if the Australian Senate passes the @AlboMP government's totalitarian bill.

New investigative reporting by @MikeNayna, @NAffects, and @itshermargaret reveals that the Albanese government buried in its censorship legislation a radical change to the nation's Privacy Act, one that would open the door to unprecedented secret spying globally.

It's coming at a time when governments in Europe, the UK, and Brazil are all demanding ever-more censorship of their enemies.

Behind the war on free speech is a war on ordinary people seeking to defend core civilizational pillars, from borders to industry to the rights of women.

The iconic 2006 film "The Lives of Others," about the Stasi, is about what happens when politicians decide their citizens are the enemy. That's what's happening today.

It's fitting that the main character on that film poster should be Australia's Prime Minister @AlboMP, whose legislation would weaponize the nation's censorship agency, the "eSafety Commissioner," to spy on citizens and report them to their governments for thought-crime violations.

Every free person in the West should be alarmed by this development and see @AlboMP and his apparatchiks for what they are: a clear and present danger to our freedoms and civilization itself.

It's up to free people to spread the word about this five-alarm fire and resist with everything we've got.

Everyone should understand that “doing 180’s”, flip flopping, contradictions and hypocrisy are a feature not a bug of Woke information warfare and propaganda. 👇

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

Yes he’s also the biggest supporter of Groypers. He comes directly from Bannon. He then went and conducted polling at the express request of JD Vance. His entire perspective has changed in 2025, like a complete 180 about Israel, Iran, Trump, conservatives. Almost certainly he’s the anonymous pollster whose the smartest guy in the room.

The one who thinks Nick Fuentes is the future.

Since being a staple on the war room he has been passed around so he can parrot the same narrative to all the influencers part of the alternative media racket that was created by Bannon.

An echo chamber, much like the one one used by Obama and Ben Rhodes to sell the nuclear deal.

[Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson]

After the midterm wipeout, divisive blame-gaming erupted on the Right. One particularly bitter divide was over supposed “neocon” interventionism and the Iran war.

But who are—or were—the neocons, and what is neoconservatism?

The red-green alliance has always been one of pure convenience for Islamic authoritarians. Just ask the communists and socialists who supported the Islamic revolution in Iran, and who were hanging from cranes just months later (so you can't ask them of course).

I stumbled upon something on Facebook after Van Jones spilled the beans about the American Accountability Project. HUNDREDS of videos LYING about Byron Donalds and data centers in Florida, all using the SAME hashtags and scripted captions. The hashtags ALL link back to Democrat groups with ZERO disclaimer about being paid. @JamesUthmeierFL can this be investigated?

Didn’t this pollster say Israel killed Charlie Kirk?

Didn’t this Benny fruit fluff and promote Andrew Tate?

Today’s “conservative” media is a grotesquery. “Influencers” as twisted carnival barkers

It’s like a never ending Lon Chaney movie marathon, minus all the pathos and charm.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

This is a condescending stupid view of the world that is leftist. Leftists and Marxists want to disrespect those who are older and wiser. It takes a lot of hubris to think you have it all figured out and to disrespect those who have lived much longer, seen much more and accomplished things you can only dream of accomplishing.

That’s not actually a conservative value.

If a US businessperson is connected to a Chinese national who works for or owns a Chinese corporation, that US businessperson is connected to the Chinese Communist Party, 100% of the time, even if they do not realize it.
