A Marriage Forged in Marxism and Influence
What happens when a Maoist tech millionaire falls in love with a far-left radical activist? Instead of an epic love story, we get foreign influence. Global, vivid Chinese propaganda, which is allegedly operating worldwide. Meet the most influential power couple you’ve never heard of. Meet the Singhams.
At a star-studded 2017 destination wedding, Neville Roy Singham and Jodie Evans bound themselves in unholy matrimony to each other and the enemies of the West. The bride, a director of the protest movement Code Pink, has a long history of involvement in extremist left-wing public activism. The groom, though a multi-millionaire software mogul, is a radical Maoist who cut his teeth in Detroit, affiliating with Marxist-Leninist groups in the 1970s.
The Smoke-Free War: Red Flags from Shanghai to Washington
Singham shares a Shanghai office with the Chinese Communist Party’s Maku Group, a front embodying Beijing’s strategy of smokeless war activism, disinformation, and ideological warfare without firing a shot. These are not the rantings of conspiracy theorists. These are complex geopolitical realities. And now, the full extent of this strategy is becoming known.
In 2017, Singham sold his $785 million software company, Thought Works, and began funneling his fortune through a web of shell companies and nonprofits to fund activism and media aligned with the Chinese Communist Party. He has reportedly donated nearly $65 million to organizations, including Code Pink, that now openly parrot Beijing’s messaging.
Since 2017, a quarter of Code Pink’s budget has come from sources linked to Singham. Conveniently, this coincides with a radical shift in Evans’ rhetoric. Once a fierce critic of authoritarian regimes, she now praises China as a defender of the oppressed and a model for growth without slavery or war.
From the Streets to the Syllabus: A Trojan Horse Network
Singham’s operations are not random. His money powers a coordinated network funding everything from radical protests to media manipulation to university infiltration. These aren’t peaceful protests. These are destabilization campaigns.
The People’s Forum, one of the leading organizations funded by Singham, has organized many of the pro-Palestinian rallies that have erupted across the West since late 2023. Behind the chants of “liberation” are carefully crafted talking points that echo not only Hamas sympathizers but anti-Israel, anti-American foreign disinformation pipelines. This isn’t limited to the U.S.
Global Reach: Propaganda in Multiple Tongues
In India, Singham’s influence is being investigated for potential criminal activity. Authorities there allege that Singham sent over $5 million to People’s Dispatch, a media platform accused of promoting pro-China narratives through an underground web of companies, including Worldwide Media Holdings, a Delaware-based entity.
Indian officials raided the offices of another Singham-backed outlet, Newsclick, under anti-terror laws. Their charge was accepting Chinese funding to destabilize Indian society. This isn’t speculation. It’s on record.
These media operations are part of a broader alliance known as the International People’s Media Network, a coalition targeting Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and the West. Their mission is to erode the credibility of Western democracies while lifting regimes like China, Russia, and Iran.
Breakthrough News, another outlet supported by Singham, regularly broadcasts content that aligns perfectly with Chinese and Russian foreign policy. The agenda is clear: weaken the West by sowing distrust in its institutions.
Senator Marco Rubio publicly stated: “I have been warned of efforts by Communist China to sow discord in the United States, including Neville Singham’s role in it.” In late 2023, the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources launched an investigation into Code Pink’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), suspecting violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
We’ve Been Here Before. We Ignored It.
We’ve heard of foreign influence ops: Qatar’s billions in U.S. universities, Russia’s troll farms, and Iran’s infiltration of radical protest movements. But Singham’s machine may have the broadest and most sophisticated global reach of them all. Why, one might ask? Because it wears a mask. A mask of social justice, peace, and progress.
While claiming to be “anti-war,” Code Pink runs cover for one of the most authoritarian regimes in modern history, a regime currently committing genocide in Xinjiang, cracking down on dissent in Hong Kong, and preparing for conflict over Taiwan.
Meanwhile, “activists” linked to this network flood the streets with protests, organize on campuses, and flood social media with anti-Western disinformation, often dressed up as liberation or solidarity.
Wake Up. This Is a War.
We are witnessing one of the most successful foreign psyops in modern history, and the West is falling for it. Neville Roy Singham and Jodie Evans are not just eccentric radicals. They are operatives in a long game of ideological warfare waged through media, academia, and the streets. And we are losing.
The honeymoon must end. We must protect the West from this shadowy network of radicals, foreign influence, and creeping ideological capture.
