Where Did Those Rent-a-Mob Protests for Maduro Come From? Here Are the Receipts

For the past 22 years I have watched, written about, broadcast, and cross-referenced the groups, messages, and protests by the left in Portland, Oregon. For a long time, before the Occupy Wall Street movement, I was one of the few in Portland talking about the derivations of these groups on my blog and the radio. Before the category-killing Antifa movement subsumed the anarchists and BLM activists, these groups always came from one place: the ANSWER Coalition. This anti-war, anti-Israel, anti-capitalist, anti-anything-opposed-to-America organization gave cover to the wildest and most extreme groups in Portland. Earth First!, Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front, and anti-Semites, the Wobblies, and any group with a fist in their logo found a home in the ANSWER Coalition. Republicans were not invited.

When ANSWER discovered I was outing them in public, they removed the individual groups from their website. Apparently, they didn't want anyone to know they were associating with terrorist organizations. But—what ho!—the group, which stands for Act Now to End War and Stop Racism, began right after the al-Qaeda attack on the United States in 2001, in fear that the U.S. would retaliate for that whole flying airplanes into the Pentagon and New York skyscrapers thing.

Just take a look at their last few months of activity that I screenshotted from their website:

And, of course, ANSWER and the ubiquitous group 50501, the same ones who brought you the anti-ICE riots, have brought you the pro-Maduro, pro-commie protests.

Reporter Asra Nomani went through the paper trail and connected the dots between the group and its satellites: [X posts at link]

Yes, but these SIGNS are not made at home with a Sharpie.

Many of these are professionally printed signs. Where they had them ready to go over the weekend. Which means they were ordered months ago.

I have ordered signs from Vista Print for a Dog Show that I am the grounds chair for. Mostly signs that tell people where to NOT park, Handicap Parking, No Smoking, etc.
It takes weeks, if not over a month to receive them.

So, some NGO had signs to object to capture of Maduro ready to go over the weekend. Similar to when BRICKS are conveniently dropped off at some urban location so that they can be throw through a store front tomorrow.

HUGE! Oversight Chair James Comer and Rep Anna Paulina Luna Call on Treasury Secretary Bessent to Freeze ALL ASSETS of Code Pink Billionaire Funder Neville Singham

The co-founder of Code Pink is married to Neville Roy Singham who provides funding to communist and far-left leftist groups and efforts. Singham reportedly funded the recent anti-ICE protests across the US. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the chairwoman of the Taskforce on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, called on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to freeze all assets of Neville Singham, the billionaire funder of the communist Code Pink organization, ANSWER Coalition, National Students for Justice in Palestine and several other anti-American leftist organizations.

From Victoria Taft's article, well written and researched. Here is her documented timeline:

So when we learned that there was an air strike on Caracas, I watched the clock -- and waited for the signals.

1:35 AM — As U.S. special operations reportedly land in Venezuela, @BTNews, a socialist propaganda arm of the ANSWER Coalition, posts early video and frames the mission as an “illegal bombing of Caracas.” The narrative is set.

1:45 AM — Manolo De Los Santos @manolo_realengo of @PeoplesForumNYC echoes the “illegal bombing” line. Message discipline is established. The People's Forum had been funded by a tech tycoon named Neville Roy Singham, who lived in Shanghai and funded a global network of socialist causes.

2:29 AM — The ANSWER Coalition drops a red-siren graphic on X calling for protests in Times Square: “NO WAR ON VENEZUELA.” The shift from commentary to mobilization begins.

2:34–2:43 AM — The People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation amplify the call. Same poster. Same language. Same timing.

3:21 AM — @VijayPrasha, director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, a research institute funded by Singham that examines issues through the lens of "national liberation Marxism," weighs in with a tweet: “Down with U.S. imperialism.” The ideological framing goes global.

6:09 AM — @CodePink condemns the U.S. as “terrorist.” The group was cofounded by Singham's wife, Jodie Evans, a fixture in anti-American protests, along with cofounder @medeabenjamin. Professional CodePink protestor @OliviaDinucci frequently yells at Trump administration officials around town. The nonprofit ecosystem is now fully engaged.

7:49 AM — The International People’s Assembly @peoplesassembly, a global umbrella group for socialist and communist organizations that partners with Singham's Tricontinental institute, circulates an “EMERGENCY DAY OF ACTION,” urging resistance to U.S. “hegemony.” The command-and-control layer activates.This wasn’t outrage catching fire.This was a socialist, communist, Marxist transnational network executing information warfare with military precision.By daylight, the narrative was locked.

By midday, the protests were live.

There were things, clues along the way. They were outed but people didn’t seem to dig at the time. I remember when Project Veritas went to a party. I think it was in New York. Janice Schakowsky’s husband was a leader. He was defining strategy and gathering big money people for Antifa. He was explaining how important it was to have lawyers. And to have van’s and weapons. This was your typical New York cocktail/ wine and passed hors d’oeuvres affair in someone’s big home.

Later we saw in Chicago a riot that started on the south side in a black neighborhood. The people were bussed downtown. They had 20-somethings with the skate boards trying to break windows, they were of course white. And something I had never seen before. There were guys with bullhorns chanting and telling people where to go next. As they got to every point. There was a guy in the crowd handing 20s to everyone discretely but telling folks there was another twenty at the next location. The bullhorn lady and the guy handing out money were in sync. They knew the next place. At the time the next location was Trump tower in Chicago, just two blocks away. They couldn’t get there as the police had surrounded the building and even cut off the bridges to get to it. I had never seen the money guy before. So the skateboard guys were white. The money guy was white. But the crowd was a bunch of black people there who had been given signs and driven on rented buses to downtown. There were also uhauls parked on side streets with all sorts of rioting paraphernalia. Like bricks and signs, and shields etc. This riot/protest was reacting to a news story that happened only a day before.

After that, the next clue was in Kenosha WI. Their vans had the same stuff but also gasoline. And more dangerous stuff. Plus bandages and medical supplies. But what was interesting was that two of the people that were shot had been in Jail right before. Think, you’re in jail in Portland for child molesting and the first thing you do when you get out is to sit in a van driving cross country to Kenosha where you attack anyone and anything until you are shot dead. And the other guy who was shot in the arm had also just gotten out of jail.

So we know that they are just paid black people in poorer neighborhoods. They are convicts. We know that rich white people are funding and directing them. And we know from Michigan and J6 that they are also feds. People who work for the US government especially the FBI. Often these guys are just very highly paid informers. But they are far more than informers. They are creating the crime. They have a high budget. They are both in the FBI and ex military and CIA who are infiltrating. And this is while Trump is in office. This is why Pam Bondi is having such troubles. She can’t trust anyone in her office. Her evidence has been spoiled. Between Hillary and Obama and even Bush, this CIA and FBI are NGOs. They are outside the chain of command.

So whether you’re protesting Venezuela or Palestine or George Floyd or Trump. Its all the same thing. And the media is in on it as well. They somehow are right there. Like when they mysteriously show up at an obscure Trump rally a hundred miles outside of Pittsburgh. The media know where to be.

And these people are international as well. I bet they are in France too. The funding source and the judges and the swamp need to be turned over every few years so that its harder for this stuff to happen. The rank and file employees of the government even the FBI are not just workers doing their job. They are highly political anarchists.

With so much Qatari, Saudi, Soroznazi, Iranian (Hamas, PLO, Hezballah alike) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and more $$$$$$$$$$$
That it’s uncountable. Almost always extremely well planned, organized, provisioned in advance, and deployed against America (also in several European countries)

Even when a front group is revealed to be financed or organized by an enemy like these, there’s zero action to stop the organization and flood of money. They just get new signs printed for their next planned “spontaneous outburst of public support” for their next bff- terrorist gang or “cause.”

We’re like sitting ducks at the shooting gallery —
