Second front: How a socialist cell in the US mobilized pro-Maduro foot soldiers within 12 hours
Fox News ^ | 1/3/26 | Asra Q. Nomani

As the U.S. military carried out a daring operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, a second front opened up within minutes in the United States an information warfare, psychological and propaganda operation run by a hardened cell of self-described Marxist, socialist and communist leaders.

For years, this cell has fomented anti-American hate in the U.S. under the cover of "anti-war" protests, rallying activists after the 9/11 attacks to condemn the U.S. response, appropriating "anti-racism" protests after the 2020 killing of George Floyd, marching with Antifa agitators, organizing antisemitic campus encampments after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas and activating "working-class Americans" to support Maduro and his regime in a war against "U.S. imperialism."

A Fox News Digital analysis of their minute-by-minute moves overnight reveals how this network activated a coordinated ideological and information warfare campaign, moving through digital social media channels with quickly produced posters to mobilize foot soldiers to the streets for an "EMERGENCY DAY OF ACTION" in New York City; Washington, D.C.; and an estimated 100 other cities, moving with the speed and discipline of an organized military operation.

Ten minutes later, at 1:45 a.m., one of the key leaders of this network, Manolo De Los Santos, executive director at The People's Forum, a proudly socialist 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in New York City, echoed the narrative on social media of an "illegal bombing."

Less than an hour later, at 2:29 a.m., the ANSWER Coalition, a nonprofit co-founded by a proud Marxist, Brian Becker, published a red siren alert on the social media platform X with a slick new poster, calling supporters to the streets in Times Square for a protest Saturday to support Maduro.

"NO WAR ON VENEZUELA! STOP THE BOMBINGS," the poster screamed, on brand.

Just like with all other protests, they are not spontaneous and grassroots. They are professionally planned and designed to overthrow the U.S.

“Experts say the network that spent decades legitimizing and defending communist regimes abroad and now functions as a rapid-response influence force inside the United States is a new threat matrix that amounts to something the FBI and intelligence agencies investigate as malign foreign influence.

Its members operate as ideological foot soldiers, advancing a foreign-aligned narrative during moments of conflict, seeking to fracture public consensus, delegitimize U.S. action and apply pressure from within.”

Well, let’s play whack-a-mole then. Answer needs a terrorist designation.

The removal of Maduro is only the first step in removing the narco-Marxist cancer from the world. It's tentacles run everywhere, in every country and on every continent.

Trump and his team have ripped the scab off this festering evil.

Congress long ago abandoned its role in declaring war.

Sad to say but in these times look at the success when rogue members of Congress don’t have a chance to leak what is going to happen.

One of the most pleasant changes in Trump 2.0 is the no leaks.

If Trump had gone to Congress, within minutes democRATS and assistant democRATS would have alerted their communist allies in Venezuela and Maduro would have disappeared without a trace.

“Code Pink fits the Mold too.”


Yeah, they are mentioned in the article.

“Soon after, at 2:43 a.m., the Party for Socialism and Liberation shared the poster on X, saying, “Stop the bombings…!”

Congressional lawmakers are already investigating this socialist network for its ties to Neville Roy Singham, a United States-born technology executive who relocated to Shanghai after selling his software firm and starting work that critics say is aligned closely with interests of the Chinese Communist Party. Singham didn’t respond to a request for comment.”

Within a few hours, at 6:09 a.m., CodePink, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, condemned the “terrorist United States…””

I think Trump did go to Congress - fed them a bogus narrative about no regime change, they swallowed it and leaked it
We’re probably working on tracing the leakers now.

Congress.? They should be hunted down and rooted out by specialist counterintelligence operatives of the kind that we used to have before J6ers became the focus of the national powers of security and control.

well, the answer is obvious: If naturalized, denaturalize them for unAmerican subversion. If native-born, hit them with conspiracy to riot. Yelling fire in a theatre has nothing to do with ‘free speech’ protections.

This is “netroots” that favour Communism. Communism is taught via the Zinnist History Books, and now it’s proven itself with their attack on the President.

The War Powers Act was a Democrat-signed and passed law in 1973 designed to favour Communists in Vietnam. It’s to protect totalitarian dictators.

The absence of leakers among the thousands if active duty military members who were surely aware of the long-pending Maduro extraction operation, or even (possibly most galling to the Deep State) among the CIA (CIA operatives were involved in the operation, many within the territory of Venezuela), must have absolutely shocked Donkey Party leaders in the U.S. Congress.
