This weekend, millions are expected to flood the streets chanting “No Kings, No Secrets” in what’s being sold as a grassroots rebellion against authoritarianism. But peel back the curtain, and you’ll find a different story: one of dark money elite networks and carefully coordinated narratives. This isn’t the voice of the people; it’s a well-funded operation designed to shape perceptions and control outcomes.
Amid the orchestrated chants of No Kings No Secrets there is zero excitement for this demonic cause. What is presented as a grassroots movement is instead a hollow spectacle driven by a web of dark money and hidden agendas. The substantial funding from networks like Arabella Soros and others totaling nearly 294.5 million dollars reveals a calculated effort to manipulate public perception rather than a genuine uprising. This top-down manipulation, lacking the organic passion of true activism, leaves little room for enthusiasm, exposing it as a manufactured narrative.

Over 2500 No Kings protests are scheduled for October 18 across all 50 states, orchestrated by a coalition of over 200 groups, including Indivisible, the ACLU, and SEIU. On the surface, it looks like a broad coalition. But dig deeper and you’ll see these organizations share the same donors, lawyers, and fiscal sponsors, entities like the Sixteen Thirty Fund tied to George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Politico has called this fund the left’s dark money powerhouse, and for good reason, it funnels hundreds of millions into political operations disguised as civic engagement.
The playbook is simple but effective. Fiscal sponsors like Arabella create shell nonprofits that spin off countless sub-projects, each with a noble-sounding name but zero public accountability. These groups pay for protest signs, organizers’ travel, and media campaigns, creating the illusion of a groundswell while the puppet masters remain hidden. As a crowd-for-hire CEO recently admitted, paid agitators and foreign influence are part of the mix. This isn’t activism but information warfare.
We’ve seen this before. The Color Revolutions overseas followed a similar formula: Western NGOs pulling strings with money, media, and messaging in perfect sync. The 2020 Summer of Justice protests: Millions went into bail funds tied to political PACs. Those election-year civic engagement drives: Always hitting the same swing states. The pattern is clear. The slogans change, but the players behind the curtain don’t.
Senator Ted Cruz is now calling for a federal investigation into the money web behind No Kings and even pushing for RICO scrutiny on these fiscal sponsors. The coordination is too perfect, the slogans too polished, the timing too convenient, and the media are all singing the same tune. As one X post put it, this is not simply a political protest but information warfare. Money fuels movements, movements shape perception, and perception drives policy. You don’t need bullets to win that kind of war; you only need belief.
To separate real activism from manufactured dissent, start asking the tough questions: Who’s paying for the buses’ training and signage? Who’s providing media coordination and digital advertising? What fiscal sponsor processes their donations? Which national talking points appear word-for-word across supposedly local chapters? Real grassroots movements are messy, unpredictable, and often underfunded. This one is none of those things.
Elite networks hiding behind nonprofits and moral slogans exploit real people with real anger. The best disinfectant is exposure. Until we rip the veil off this dark money machine, exposing the millions funneled through shadowy fronts and the puppet masters pulling the strings, this cycle of manufactured outrage and laundered cash will keep masquerading as change. The American people deserve the truth, and we must fight for it.
So is the UK’s Starmer.
And the UK’s king remains silent.
The left is fine with kings and tyrants who serve the Deep State.
Dog whistles, of course. Just like we conservatives do.
At my age, I don’t hear dog whistles so well. I also think they’re mostly in the minds of those who pretend to hear them.
There will be a day where everything they did to:
Citizen Trump-President Trump-citizen Trump
Will fall in the lap of their King Obama.
And everyone will have the right to shut up then or get their ass reminded every second,minute,hour,day,week,month,year of their sorry existence if they decide to get mouthy..
And obliteration of the Deep State and draining of the Swamp will mean they’ll have to dig into their own pockets for real then to play protest
Saw website, thanks for link.
They make themselves sound like the good guys.
Unctuous as can be.
They are projecting.
They want to be the King or Dictator and put their boot on your face.
Their utopia is their boot stomping on your face forever.
“millions are expected”
On CBS, ABC, FOX I see large crowds, over 100,000 in small college towns. They have signs. They have aggressive language. This will go on all Saturday afternoon and evening with different crowds in different cities each of 3 time periods. They are mostly young. But there seem to be a lot of old timers who want to relive their youthful outbursts. They seem to be highly organized and know how to get the media attention.
.
I have only seen two presidents act as if they were Kings and could do what they wish regardless of the Constitution, Congress and Laws, Obama and Biden. What am I missing??
No kings protest another exhibition of small minds doing small things for self gratification.
You can be sure it is ultimately taxpayers paying for this AstroTurf. The looters behind it want to maintain or increase the amount they steal from us.
