A startling revelation has emerged, highlighting that a staggering $100 million of U.S. taxpayer money has been funneled into networks that bolster leftist and radical factions, including Antifa.
This financial web, dubbed "Riot Inc." by the Government Accountability Institute, underscores the intricate funding mechanisms supporting these groups.
During a White House briefing on Wednesday, Seamus Bruner, Research Director for the Government Accountability Institute, alongside The Post Millennial's Katie Daviscourt, Andy Ngo, and other journalists, unveiled the pathways through which funds reach Antifa and similar radical left-wing entities. According to The Post Millennial, Bruner elaborated on the concept of the "protest industrial complex," a term he used to describe the network of organizations that finance, promote, and legally back groups like Antifa across the United States.
Bruner stated, "We followed the money, and we followed it to the top of what we call the protest industrial complex." He further detailed the existence of "Riot Inc.," a coalition of organizations that provide financial, marketing, and legal support to Antifa cells within the country. "We found a network of NGOs. It's not just the Soros networkthe Open Society networkit's other funding networks, the Arabella funding network, the Tides funding network, Neville Roy Singham and his network, foreign cash, and it's also big left-wing funders. Some of them are not citizens of this country, Mr. Hansjrg Wyss of Switzerland. They're pouring money into this entire ecosystem," he explained.
The complexity of this network is not limited to street-level activism. "It doesn't just have the Antifa boots on the ground division. It has PR divisions. It has marketing divisions. It has a very well-funded legal division to get these boots on the ground, back on the streets as quickly as possible," Bruner added. This multifaceted approach ensures that these groups remain active and visible.
One of the most alarming discoveries, according to Bruner, is that "more than $100 million in US taxpayer funding has flowed into these funding networks, including at least $4 million to these very groups themselves." He highlighted an event in Atlanta, "Stop cop city," where over 60 individuals faced domestic terrorism charges, and these groups received financial support from both affluent donors and taxpayer funds.
Bruner also pointed out that these networks employ crowdfunding platforms to direct funds to their intended destinations, enabling Antifa cells, the John Brown Gun Club, and other groups to secure financial backing.
As Bruner and his colleagues presented their findings at the White House, the Trump administration responded with a video featuring Attorney General Pam Bondi. The video, posted on X, emphasized the administration's commitment to addressing and halting the political violence perpetrated by Antifa.
