ANTIFA's Mask Slips: Trump's Roundtable Sends Shadow NGO Network Behind "Riot Inc.

• by Jason Curtis Anderson

President Trump's latest roundtable on ANTIFA wasn't just a political statement — it was a long-overdue reckoning against rising far-left political violence. 

For years, journalists and citizens alike have watched America's streets burn, our cities vandalized, and our law enforcement vilified under banners of "resistance." But as the President's meeting revealed, ANTIFA is only one mask worn by a much larger monster — a transnational network of NGOs, foreign financiers, and ideological operatives quietly fueling what Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute called "Riot Inc."

Bruner, GAI's Director of Research, broke down the mechanics of this sprawling protest industrial complex. He traced the money, the messaging, and the movements, exposing how left-wing extremism has evolved from decentralized networks of anarchist collectives into a well-funded infrastructure with global ambitions. Among the various nodes and financiers, he named Neville Roy Singham — a tech billionaire currently under multiple congressional investigations for allegedly funneling money to American-based protest groups doing the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party.

Jonathan Choe, a journalist at the Discovery Institute, added another dimension, one that hits close to home for anyone living on the West Coast. He described how ANTIFA's organizing hubs are increasingly intertwined with what he called the "homeless industrial complex," a web of taxpayer-funded nonprofits that profit off permanent social decay. Cities like Portland, Seattle, and Los Angeles, all suffering the twin crises of homelessness and anarchist violence, have quietly become laboratories for this merger of chaos and cash flow.

Choe also revealed deep connections between ANTIFA networks and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — the same group now running Zohran Mamdani for New York City Mayor. In 2019, the DSA's national convention voted to formally adopt ANTIFA into its organization — a vote that passed with full approval. And according to new reports, ANTIFA's latest project, "Stop Cop City", has been holding meetings at the DSA headquarters in New York City.
