No Kings, No Secrets
The Dark Money Behind America’s “Grassroots” Protests
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.

I'll post the graphic separately. For some I can't post graphics from some substacks.
That’s a lot of money to have aging hippies march around.
The report said 7 million showed up nationally.
For 300 million? So about $42 bucks a head.
They smart avoided the printed up agitprop signs they usually hand out at these astroturf events.
What did the DC Tea Party event cost?
I guess this is to motivate the base, use MSM to spread it as some major sign of life before the election. ?
Every protest was the same. A bunch of old white people. 😏
Saw one commentator call the protestors “Q Tips” - old white hairs.
Aging boomers seem to be the majority of those out today. Good they got to go for a walk.
Looks like some money kings made out extremely well.
I knew there was a march today but I went downtown to switch my cars and they were swarming the streets with signs apparently trying to get to their protest service.
The funders have deep pockets.
Protest service! ha
That is a fascinating chart, Jeremiah. It puts the lie to the narrative of genuine individual political opinion. I will be sharing the chart on X as a response to the innumerable sanctimonious postings of leftist influencers if you don’t object?
“Millions”... and what did it accomplish? An ignorant protest for ignorant liarz. Our town had about 100 people stadning around picking their noses while pickettIng.
Guess how many people they convinced? None likely as the vast majority of people in our town are appreciative of the fantastic work the pres has done, and those that arent never would be anyways! They just want their free obamaphones and dont care how far in the toilet they gotta plunge their hands to get it!
Paid protesters is not a grassroots movement. I’ll bet 60 to 80% of ALL democrat protests are done by paid protesters. Scum. Everyone of them, every democrat.

Anything I post on FR is fair game.
Also notice how they’ve adopted “patriotism”. The “directives” went out.
They were singing the National Anthem, chanting “USA”, and carrying American flags.
All astroturfed BS. Optics.
General Flynn is a true patriot, which is why the Obama-Biden cabal went after him. In spite of the money being poured into this stuff, I suspect the Western Left is failing, slowly but inexorably.
No Kings, No Secrets
Things nobody asked about under Biden & Company and a good example of how agendas and propaganda operate.
