Anti-US protesters funded by pro-China tycoon mobilize as first bombs fall on Iran
Fox News ^ | February 28, 2026 | Asra Q. Nomani

In the dark of the night, 10 minutes before President Donald Trump even announced that the U.S. and Israel had attacked Iran, a network of U.S. nonprofits aligned with China, Russia and Tehran activated foot soldiers to hit America's streets.

Groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based, American-born tech tycoon, which regularly parrot messaging from America's adversaries, swung into action even as the initial bombs were dropping. The nearly instantaneous response was the latest salvo in an information war on the U.S., with foot soldiers called upon to converge in protests and echo anti-U.S. talking points.

At 2:34 a.m. ET, the ANSWER Coalition, a nonprofit project whose leaders describe themselves as Marxist and communist, announced, "EMERGENCY NATIONWIDE DAY OF ACTION TODAY, SAT. FEB 28 — STOP THE WAR WITH IRAN!"

It announced its network of groups that have long supported the regime in Iran, including the National Iranian American Council, 50501, American Muslims for Palestine, the People’s Forum, Palestinian Youth Movement and CodePink. The organizations haven't responded to requests for comment. Singham did not respond to a request for comment.

The network set the language for its anti-U.S. messaging, calling the war an "unprovoked, illegal bombing of Iran." It even set up a website domain for the coordinated actions at http://ANSWERCoalition.org.

Wow, that needs a closer look. Wonder why such is allowed to continue. China would have put them in work campps or executed them by now.

Why are these NGO’s and NFP’s allowed to operate as such? A reminder, Hamas, Hezbolah, and the Houthis, are NGO’s as well. They are the same as ANTIFA, BLM, and DSA, groups.

Whatever became of Kristin, who was a prolific poster here in the 1990s, through early 2000s? He had a lot of research on Code Pink and its sponsors.

Yessir.

Iran is not just “one of many” suppliers for China. It is, according to multiple analyses, China’s largest source of discounted crude.

• China buys more than 80% of Iran’s shipped oil.

• In 2025, that accounted for 13.5% of all Chinese seaborne imports.

• Chinese “teapot” refiners in Shandong rely heavily on Iranian crude because it is cheap and easy to blend.

And the Strait of Hormuz is the real choke point:

• 20% of global oil demand passes through it.

• Half of China’s crude imports come through that strait.

If Iran disrupts Hormuz, China is hit immediately.

This gives the U.S. leverage: China needs stability in the Gulf more than it needs to defend Iran.

BTW, just bought gas at $2.40 a gallon. Filled all my 5 gallon cans (5) and truck tank. As I was leaving, they were changing the price to $2.77!!! Check Gas Buddy and find the cheapest today and fill er up!

“Two major oil sources for China just got stopped.”

And this is in addition to Maduro’s capture likely stopping a major oil source for Russian.

Not sure of Trump’s strategy right now. A number of conservatives dislike this offense on Iran for some decent reasons, but as far as negotiations with these countries it puts plenty of pressure on them that they definitely didn’t have prior to these military actions.

We’ll be seeing how this plays out but it’s never safe to bet against Trump on foreign matters.

I wonder if they get a discount because all they have to do is change the name.

Also remember the death of Mexico’s cartel leader El Mencho which was done in tandem with Mexico’s government hoping to wrest their country back from the cartels.

A lot of moving parts right now but at least they appear to be moving towards democracy as opposed to against it.

Speaker Mike Johnson
The Gang of 8
Today, Iran is facing the severe consequences of its evil actions. President Trump and the Administration have made every effort to pursue peaceful and diplomatic solutions in response to the Iranian regime’s sustained nuclear ambitions and development, terrorism, and the murder of Americans—and even their own people.

For decades, Iran has defyantly maintained its nuclear program while arming and funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and other internationally recognized terrorist organizations. Iran and its proxies have menaced America and American lives, undermined our core national interests, systematically destabilized the Middle East, and threatened the security of the entire West.

The Gang of 8 was briefed in detail earlier this week that military action may become necessary to protect American troops and American citizens in Iran. I received updates from Secretary Rubio thereafter, and I will remain in close contact with the President and the Department of War as this operation proceeds.

We pray for the safety of our brave servicemembers and our allies involved in Operation Epic Fury. May God bless them, and may God bless America.

Traitors: Nonprofits Began Mobilizing Anti-War Protests 10 Minutes Before Trump Announced Strikes
Hotair ^ | David Strom
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/02/28/anti-trump-nonprofits-began-mobilizing-anti-war-protesters-10-minutes-before-trump-announced-strikes-n3812387

Fox News is reporting that the coalition of anti-Trump nonprofits that have been leading the Anti-ICE protests notified its network to mobilize against Operation Epic Fury.

They knew about the strikes even before they were announced, likely because they were notified by their Chinese Communist Party allies overseas.

Sounds like that Chinaman needs to be the recipient of a professional application of vanishing cream. Where is our CIA when we need them?

Nothing says “Astroturf” like uniform printed signs printed well before the “protest”
