CCP-Linked Activist Network Targets Palantir As Beijing’s Influence Machine Hits U.S. Soil – RedState

A network tied to a Chinese Communist Party propaganda and influence apparatus is now targeting one of the United States’ most important defense technology companies.

A protest planned outside Palantir Technologies’ new Florida headquarters this week is the latest move by leftist organizations connected to a funding network that has spent years mobilizing activist groups inside the United States against American military operations and defense capabilities.

At the center of that network is Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech entrepreneur who relocated to Shanghai and has financed a web of far-left and Marxist political organizations that regularly organize demonstrations against American military operations and defense technology companies.

Investigators and lawmakers have increasingly raised concerns about the role those progressive organizations play in shaping political messaging inside the United States while echoing narratives promoted by Beijing.

Several of the groups organizing the Florida protest are connected through that same network.

According to reports:

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is part of a wider network funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Marxist American tech tycoon based in Shanghai. The network includes the People’s Forum, CodePink Women for Peace and the ANSWER Coalition, which is led by self-described communists.

Those organizations describe themselves as grassroots protest movements. Their record tells a very different story.

The same coalition of left-wing groups repeatedly appears whenever the United States conducts military operations or when companies tied to American defense capabilities become political targets. The messaging that accompanies those protests often mirrors talking points promoted by America’s geopolitical adversaries.

That pattern became particularly visible after recent U.S. military action against Iran.

Operation Epic Fury showed how quickly this leftist organizing can move with very interesting timing.  

Groups funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Shanghai-based American-born tech tycoon which regularly parrot messaging from America’s adversaries, swung into action even as the initial bombs were dropping. 

That kind of speed does not happen by accident. It shows how quickly the network can move to shape the narrative surrounding American military actions.

This time, the target is Palantir.

The company has become one of the most important private-sector partners for the U.S. military and intelligence community. Its software platforms help analysts process intelligence data, identify threats, and support operational planning across multiple defense agencies.

Liberal activists tied to the Singham network have increasingly focused their protests on companies and technologies that support American military capabilities.

In recent years, Palantir has been working with the U.S. Defense Department in an initiative called Project Maven, which is using machine learning and artificial intelligence in military and intelligence operations. U.S. officials are understood to have used intelligence from Project Maven in recent military operations including joint U.S.-Israel strikes against Iran.

Palantir offices in Denver, New York, Washington, D.C., and Palo Alto have all faced protests connected to the same coalition of organizations.

The financial and political ties behind those Communist demonstrations have also drawn attention on Capitol Hill.

Interesting Timing? Anti-US Protesters Were at It Before Trump Announced Epic Fury Was Underway

Code Pink, one of the groups frequently involved in those protests, is led by Jodie Evans, who is married to Singham. Reporting has linked Singham directly to a global propaganda network aligned with the Chinese Communist Party.

A pro-China political funding network operating out of Shanghai bankrolls left-wing activist organizations inside the United States. Those organizations repeatedly mobilize protests against companies and programs tied directly to American defense capabilities while echoing narratives promoted by Beijing.

At some point, that stops looking like coincidence and starts looking like an influence operation.
