No Kings Movement: Protests and Funding Contradictions
Over the last weekend, a vast crowd took to the streets in various cities across the United States, rallying under the phrase “No Kings.” This slogan represents a progressive response to what they perceive as authoritarianism in President Donald Trump’s second term.
Key issues for the No Kings movement, which included prominent politicians like Sen. Bernie Sanders, center around the significant influence of billionaires in politics and the media, targeting figures such as Elon Musk for criticism.
However, there’s an interesting irony in their protest. As Glenn Beck pointedly asks, “If this movement is genuinely against the influence of the wealthy, then why is it financially supported by those very billionaires?”
Glenn observes that the No Kings initiative was intentionally designed to seem like a grassroots effort. Yet, the deeper one goes, it appears more like a strategic maneuver than a genuine uprising. “This isn’t grassroots; it’s more of a styled movement,” he states.
Moreover, if the goal was truly to reject a royal-like authority in America, the protesters might have raised serious concerns about Joe Biden’s actions, particularly regarding the imposition of an experimental vaccine coupled with potential job losses and hospital restrictions.
“You might assume that the absence of a king would highlight every fault, but it’s not that straightforward. It seems that the aim here is not to eliminate power but to redistribute it,” Glenn reiterates.
Interestingly, the very billionaires the movement opposes are the ones involved in funding it. For instance, George Soros donated $3 million through his Open Society Action Fund to Indivisible, a progressive group created in 2016 to resist Trump’s policies, to help orchestrate these protests, according to various reports.
Further complicating matters, Soros’ broader network has contributed more than $7.6 million towards this cause, totaling almost $11 million. But that’s just the beginning. Tracing the funding reveals connections to the Arabella Advisors Network, described as a billion-dollar dark money entity that channels donations from the ultra-rich into grassroots movements.
Connections to major foundations such as those run by Bill Gates, Ford, and Rockefeller also reveal their substantial support for networks backing the No Kings protests. The Tides Foundation and Neville Roy Singham, a billionaire linked to the Chinese Communist Party, are among others providing significant backing.
Glenn remarks on a “small clique of elite financiers” who are backing what investigative journalist Peter Schweitzer dubs “Riot Inc.” He emphasizes that this is a documented reality, not just opinion. Documentation from IRS filings and public reports reinforces the notion of wealthy individuals sponsoring questionable organizations.
