USA Congress Targets China-Based Billionaire Over part Funding LA Riots & Radical U.S. Groups

[Social Media]

 

A China-based American billionaire is at the center of a mounting congressional investigation over his financial ties to radical political groups in the U.S., including one reportedly connected to recent riots in Los Angeles. Neville Roy Singham, a wealthy software entrepreneur originally from Chicago, is expected to be called before Congress to answer for his funding of numerous leftist organizations, some of which have drawn scrutiny for their affiliations with Marxist ideologies and anti-Israel activism.

 

 

Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna has announced that if Singham refuses to testify voluntarily, a subpoena will be issued. “If he refuses to appear, he will be subpoenaed, and if he ignores that he will be referred to the DOJ for prosecution,” Luna declared earlier this week in a post on X, written entirely in capital letters. The congressional probe is expected to focus heavily on Singham’s alleged connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

 

 

Singham, 71, who now resides in Shanghai with his wife, long-time activist Jodie Evans, has been accused of bankrolling groups that engage in politically charged activism across the U.S. Among them is the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which played a visible role in recent protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles. Although there is currently no evidence that the group directly incited the violence that erupted during those protests, its presence has added fuel to the congressional investigation.

 

In April, the Senate Judiciary Committee formally urged the Department of Justice to investigate both The People’s Forum and Code Pink—two prominent activist groups linked to Singham and Evans. According to Senator Chuck Grassley, “Evidence suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have been funded and influenced by … Singham and the communist Chinese government, both of which are foreign principals. The evidence also suggests that The People’s Forum and Code Pink have engaged in political activities that directly advance the communist Chinese government’s political and policy interests.”

 

Though Singham and Evans deny any coordination with the CCP, their organizations share office space with the Maku Group, which is known to promote Chinese Communist Party propaganda overseas. Critics argue this physical and operational proximity is more than coincidental.

 

Last year, the House Ways and Means Committee urged the IRS to revoke the tax-exempt status of The People’s Forum, a New York-based non-profit backed by Singham. The group helped organize anti-Israel protests in Manhattan shortly after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel that left 1,200 people dead. Some of its affiliates were also identified among protesters involved in violent encampments at Columbia University.

 

According to Alex Goldenberg, senior advisor at the National Contagion Research Institute, “The Singham network operates as a coordinated movement incubator, a term used by The People’s Forum itself. It combines media, publishing and organizing under one roof.” He further emphasized that the various Singham-funded organizations are not independent entities. “They share leadership, funding, and a unified ideological mission closely aligned with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a revolutionary Marxist organization expanding its presence on college campuses and in major cities,” Goldenberg told The Post.

 

Among the most controversial links is the connection between the Party for Socialism and Liberation and Elias Rodriguez, the suspect in last month’s shooting deaths of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. Although the group quickly distanced itself from Rodriguez, it acknowledged that he participated in a 2017 demonstration against police brutality under its banner.

 

Singham’s background includes significant success in the tech industry. He founded the global consulting firm Thoughtworks, which he sold in 2017 for $785 million. Despite his current ideological leanings, he once operated at the highest levels of capitalist enterprise. “Roy Singham is incredibly charismatic,” said a source familiar with his operations who asked not to be named.

 

Evans, 70, co-founded Code Pink and now serves on the board of The People’s Forum. She co-authored the book China Is Not Our Enemy with Mikaela Nhondo Erskog, a researcher affiliated with another Singham-backed group. In 2015, Evans also traveled to North Korea with the pro-Pyongyang group Women Cross DMZ, highlighting a pattern of controversial international affiliations.

 

 

As Congress moves closer to compelling Singham’s testimony, the inquiry is poised to become a high-profile flashpoint in the broader debate over foreign influence, political radicalism, and the role of big money in American activism.

So this guy (surely a Bond villain?) is "incredibly charismatic"?  About as charismatic as a turnip more like.

 

Can't help noticing how often anti-war broads like this one express their anti-war feelings with such warlike expressions of spitting hatred.  Wouldn't like to meet her on a dark night in Shanghai.

House GOP launches probe of China-based billionaire linked to protest groups, including anti-ICE agitators in LA

WASHINGTON — House Republicans launched an investigation Friday into a China-based billionaire purportedly backing left-wing protest groups in the US — including one linked to the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots in Los Angeles — and asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to determine whether he was part of a larger Chinese Communist Party influence operation.

The reclusive Neville Singham, who was born in Chicago but lives with his activist wife, Jodie Evans, in Shanghai, “may have acted as an agent for the CCP” through his support of the demonstrations, GOP members of the House Oversight Committee alleged in letters to the billionaire himself as well as Bondi that have been obtained by The Post.
