In a whirlwind of gatherings and protests, America is bracing itself for what is being dubbed “No Kings Day.” This series of events is anticipated to bring together more than 1,800 protests across the nation, many of which are being organized with the involvement of teachers’ unions, among others. While initially, these events may sound like peaceful mobilizations for social change, there are underlying concerns about the potential for turmoil and the involvement of radical groups like Antifa.
Andy Ngo, a senior editor and author who has boldly explored the inner workings of these radical movements, has been a prominent voice warning the public about the potential chaos that could unfold. Having been on the front lines in 2019 during an attack by an Antifa mob and again at the George Floyd protests in 2021, Ngo is no stranger to the tactics used by such groups. His investigations reveal alarming insights into the individuals and organizations backing these protests, exposing the intricate web of nearly 200 Democrat-aligned nonprofits and activist groups operating under a partisan agenda.
As these protests prepare to take place across major cities, one cannot help but wonder about who might show up. Many anticipate a turnout of liberal boomers, reminiscent of the crowds seen during prior protests associated with the inauguration. However, the more concerning aspect lies in the fact that calls have been made for Antifa members to blend in with these demonstrations. This strategy is not new for Antifa, which has long employed the tactic of using peaceful protesters as a shield against police actions, a tactic intended to create a confusing public spectacle when violence erupts.
The mystery surrounding where these extremist groups get their funding also raises eyebrows. Throughout the years, Antifa has operated with a cloak of deception, asserting a lack of organization to evade scrutiny. This evasion has been made easier by the protections afforded to them by Democrat politicians in the municipalities where their activities flourish, such as Portland and Seattle. This has resulted in a lack of accountability for their disruptive actions, as investigations into their activities have often been downplayed at the highest levels of law enforcement.
One particularly controversial player in this drama is an organization known as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, which is currently facing federal investigation for its potential role in protests against ICE. This organization, alongside numerous others, has been the beneficiary of substantial federal and state funding, raising concerns about the taxpayer dollars at play. Even though efforts have been made by the Trump administration to cut off federal grants to these organizations, they continue to find ways to secure funding through state means, further complicating the issue of accountability.
As citizens take stock of the unfolding protests this No Kings Day, it is imperative to consider the broader implications of who lays the groundwork for these events and where the funding ultimately flows. Andy Ngo’s investigations serve as a reminder that while peaceful demonstrations can be a platform for change, the presence of radical elements and their financial backing can turn these events into something altogether more chaotic. The delicate balance of honor, activism, and accountability must be carefully scrutinized to ensure that the interests of the average American do not get lost in the fray of political agendas.
