This Tech Mogul Bankrolls a Chinese Propaganda Network—And Left-Wing Lawmakers Like Ilhan Omar
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 7, 2023 | Chuck Ross

A tech mogul who funds an elaborate Chinese propaganda network has donated extensively to progressive lawmakers, many of whom have opposed policies to scrutinize the Chinese Communist Party, federal disclosures show.

Neville Roy Singham, the founder of a Chicago-based tech firm, has contributed $17,700 to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D., Wash.) and thousands of dollars to Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Barbara Lee (Calif.), and Chuy Garcia (Ill.). Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, the co-founder of far-left group Code Pink, similarly contributed $21,900 to Jayapal and organized a fundraiser for the lawmaker in 2018. Evans has also contributed to Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.) and Lee's Senate campaign.

The New York Times on Saturday revealed that Singham poured millions of dollars into activist groups that push pro-Beijing propaganda to Western audiences, often in collusion with Chinese state-owned media organizations. Singham has given $1.4 million to Code Pink, which Evans co-founded in 2002. The Times noted that Code Pink and Evans have morphed from vocal critics of China’s human rights abuses to strident defenders of Beijing’s foreign policies.

While Singham denies that he works at the behest of Beijing, his spending spree comes amid heightened concerns over the Chinese Communist Party’s covert support for left-wing activist groups. Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Rep. James Comer (R., Ky.) last week called on the Justice Department to investigate whether environmental groups have acted as agents of the Chinese government. One group linked to China, the Climate Imperative Foundation, is behind the push to regulate gas stoves.

The progressive lawmakers funded by Singham and Evans, who married in 2017, have opposed efforts to scrutinize China's government, including the formation of a House committee that aims to pull back the curtain on the CCP’s influence operations in the United States

Many in D.C. make the same statement but their bling is showing.

Singham apparently lives in Shanghai and sold the techfirm Thoughtworks.
He is an avowed Marxist by his own words.

He and his wife claim the oppressed Uyghurs are terrorists and something “has to be done” about them.

This article has a LOT more about him and his succubus.

Dig deep and you’ll find Antifa is funded by them too.

And before you think the San Francisco ended up the way it is today by accident, the Chinese consulate in SF has been the base and center of the CCP’s espionage and subversive activities ever since it was established.

There is a reason Trump shut down the Houston consulate a few years go. It was doing similar activities.

Nonsensical paid fictional story financed by Hillary campaign to slander Trump over phony Russian collusion. Believed by millions.

2023 Chinese funding to influence US elections and fund Dem candidates.
Crickets on media.
