In a remarkable moment of candor during a lengthy livestream, prominent socialist streamer Hasan Piker pulled back the curtain on a network of political activism that critics have long suspected operates as a vehicle for foreign influence. Piker named American tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, now based in Shanghai, as a key financier behind numerous “political movements” in the United States, even as the organizations he supports maintain the facade of tax-exempt nonprofits.
This admission arrives amid federal scrutiny, raising serious questions about whether American tax laws are being weaponized against the nation’s interests by those who openly admire adversarial regimes.
- Hasan Piker identified Neville Roy Singham as the funding source for groups like CodePink, ANSWER Coalition, and Party for Socialism and Liberation during a livestream responding to federal subpoenas.
- Singham, who sold his company for hundreds of millions and relocated to China, has funneled approximately $278-285 million into a network of nonprofits promoting pro-CCP narratives and anti-American protests.
- These organizations have coordinated major street actions against U.S. policy, often aligning with interests of China, Iran, and other adversaries.
- Congressional committees are investigating potential violations of nonprofit rules limiting political activity and concerns over foreign influence.
- Piker’s comments mark a rare public acknowledgment from within the network that Singham’s money drives explicit political advocacy rather than neutral charity.
- The episode highlights growing scrutiny of dark money networks exploiting U.S. tax status while advancing agendas hostile to American sovereignty.
Piker’s revelation did not come in a vacuum. Federal investigators have subpoenaed him and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin over a trip to Cuba that allegedly skirted sanctions. In defending himself, Piker pivoted to Singham, describing the billionaire as a “funding vehicle” for activism that federal authorities supposedly seek to suppress. The irony is thick: a self-proclaimed opponent of billionaires casually revealing dependence on one who operates from the heart of the Chinese Communist Party’s sphere.
Singham’s journey from American tech executive to Shanghai resident tells its own story. After selling Thoughtworks for an estimated $785 million, he directed vast resources into entities like The People’s Forum, which has received over $20 million, alongside millions more to CodePink and other groups. These organizations share leadership, office space, and ideology, often mobilizing protests that echo Beijing’s talking points on global affairs. Reports indicate Singham has praised Xi Jinping’s vision for a “new world order” at CCP-endorsed events, positioning himself as something of a modern ideological operative.
The network’s activities extend far beyond traditional charity. From anti-Israel demonstrations to actions supporting regimes in Tehran and Havana, Singham-backed groups have played central roles in disruptive street theater that divides Americans and weakens resolve against external threats. Congressional probes by committees including Ways and Means have highlighted how these outfits enjoy tax benefits while engaging in overt political operations, potentially crossing legal lines designed to prevent abuse of the nonprofit system.
What makes this case particularly troubling is the selective blindness of the political left. For years, progressive voices have railed against “dark money” in politics, yet here stands a billionaire whose fortune flows into causes that align suspiciously well with America’s chief geopolitical rival. The same influencers who decry corporate influence in Washington appear remarkably comfortable when the dollars arrive from a Mao-admiring donor in Shanghai. This contradiction exposes not mere hypocrisy, but a deeper ideological alignment that prioritizes revolutionary upheaval over national loyalty.
Critics rightly ask whether such funding truly represents independent American activism or serves as an extension of United Front work by the CCP. Multiple investigations, including those by the New York Times, have traced Singham’s close coordination with Chinese state media and propaganda efforts. His marriage to CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans further cemented ties between personal wealth and activist infrastructure. The result is a sophisticated apparatus capable of rapid response to geopolitical events, often in ways that undermine U.S. foreign policy.
This episode should prompt broader reflection on how foreign adversaries exploit America’s open society. Nonprofits were never intended as shields for political warfare directed from abroad. As federal investigators follow the money, the public deserves transparency about whether Singham’s network complies with laws governing foreign agents and charitable activity. The stakes involve nothing less than the integrity of American civil society against coordinated external subversion.
History offers stern warnings about allowing ideological zeal to blind us to threats from within. When Jesus warned His disciples in Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves,” He spoke to the danger of deceptive appearances masking destructive intent. Today’s nonprofit veneers demand similar discernment from citizens and lawmakers alike.
The left’s entanglement with Singham’s resources reveals a movement more committed to abstract global revolution than to the concrete blessings of American liberty. As probes continue, one hopes they will not only uncover financial trails but also reaffirm the principle that no foreign power, however cleverly disguised, should purchase influence over our domestic discourse through tax-advantaged shells. True reform would protect genuine charity while closing loopholes that enable such sophisticated operations against the republic.
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
