So I guess the No Kings Communists were out in full force Saturday calling for a revolution.
They all gathered up along the George Shanley Bridge here in town to demonstrate their great disdain for the American way of life — pushing for some sort of change from liberty to some quasi sort of authoritarianism.
When you look at the average age of these people you might begin to understand why they are going on about hating freedom so much — these are people from my generation, tired old white people who in their younger years embraced the utopian spew of Mao in the 60’s. These sorts of demonstrations serve only to attempt to mask the utopian ideologies that were prevalent in 1968 and today, as back then, serve absolutely no useful purpose — other than to demonstrate the societal ignorance that still persists.
The so-called No Kings movement has less to do with Trump than you might think — sure, Trump is a bombastic self centered egotist, but if you look closely enough you’ll see that Trump is just the latest placeholder for the movements angst. Next week at 2 o’clock it will be somebody else, and on and on it goes.
So-called caring and enlightened people being sold a bill of goods is nothing new in this country. No Kings is just the latest manifestation of a Communist movement that started way back in the 1920’s — Communism by any other name is still Communism. Call it what you will, the ideology is still the same. McCarthy was on to something back in the 1950’s I think.
Social Security (1935) is a program lifted directly from the Soviet playbook. LBJ’s Great Society (1964) was a further extension of the Communist agenda — the social security system in the Soviet Union was established after the October Revolution of 1917, focusing on providing social insurance, pensions, and various benefits to workers and their families. Over time, it evolved to include healthcare, housing, and support for vulnerable groups — sound familiar?
Though it might be claimed that No Kings is a grassroots movent it’s anything but — the movement is a well organized and heavily funded movement by design.
Follow the Money
No Kings is funded, in part, by a network of socialist and communist-aligned groups (e.g., Party for Socialism and Liberation, People’s Forum, CodePink, ANSWER Coalition, Freedom Road Socialist Organization) that actively participates and mobilizes members. Many of these are funded by Neville Roy Singham, a U.S. tech billionaire and self-described communist who has poured hundreds of millions into far-left activism (often with reported ties to China-linked causes).
Hundreds of other partners (for funding and organization) include the ACLU, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, MoveOn, Sierra Club, Human Rights Campaign, AFL-CIO and other unions, Democratic Socialists of America, League of Women Voters, Greenpeace, and many local Indivisible/50501 chapters. These groups are funded by a mix of:
-
- Progressive foundations
- Union dues
- Small-dollar grassroots donations
- Occasional taxpayer-funded grants to nonprofits
Bottom line
No Kings is being financed by the normal operating budgets of a vast left-wing nonprofit/union network, with George Soros’ foundations as a major documented backer of the lead organizer (Indivisible) and Neville Roy Singham as a key financier of the more radical socialist factions involved.
No evidence of direct foreign government funding or a centralized “No Kings” war chest exists in public reporting.
Communism Deposes Kings
Communism really never stops at kings. It deposes the very idea of limited power, property, or dissent — and installs something that makes most historical monarchs look restrained by comparison.
History shows the pattern with brutal clarity.
Here are just a few examples:
-
- Russia, 1917: Bolsheviks forced Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate, then murdered him and his family in 1918. The Romanov dynasty — 300+ years old — ended in a basement.
- Romania, 1947: King Michael I (who had actually helped overthrow the Nazis) was coerced at gunpoint into abdicating by communist officials backed by the Soviets. The monarchy was abolished the same day.
- Ethiopia, 1974: The Marxist-Leninist Derg junta deposed Emperor Haile Selassie, last ruler of the 3,000-year Solomonic dynasty. He died under house arrest the next year.
- Laos, 1975: The Pathet Lao communists overthrew King Savang Vatthana and ended the 600-year monarchy.
- Yugoslavia, 1945: Tito’s partisans abolished the monarchy; King Peter II died in exile.
Similar patterns hit Bulgaria, Hungary, and other Eastern European states after WWII under Soviet influence. Where no king existed (Cuba under Batista, China after the Qing had already fallen), the pattern was the same: traditional power structures were liquidated.
One thing that sort of struck me when I drove across the George Shanley Bridge on Saturday was that there were so many people railing against a system that they themselves are trying to usher in. It just boggles the mind at how so many people can be brainwashed into believing that Communism is a good thing. They hate Trump because they were told to hate Trump — the focus has to be on Trump because if it weren’t they might be appalled at what they are actually fighting for. The real kicker here is that they were all standing out there for free. Standing out there encouraging their own downfall.
I’m not going to ask anyone to make it make sense. Communism is nonsensical already and it makes people do nonsensical things — as we saw Saturday on the George Shanley Bridge.
