January 1, EXPOSED: Chinese-Backed Radicals Behind Nationwide Tech Sabotage Campaign

Wyatt’s Take

• The same foreign-funded extremists who attacked Trump and ICE are now sabotaging American tech infrastructure — data centers and security cameras — with Chinese billionaire money behind them
• They’re hijacking legitimate privacy concerns to destroy our AI capability while China races ahead — exactly what Beijing wants
• Even some Republicans are falling for it, playing right into the hands of communist organizers who want America weak and dependent on Chinese technology

A bombshell investigation reveals that radical leftist groups funded by a Chinese tech billionaire are orchestrating nationwide campaigns against American data centers and surveillance cameras. The same networks that organized anti-Trump protests are now targeting the technology infrastructure America needs to compete with China.

Organizations tied to Shanghai-based tycoon Neville Roy Singham have shifted from street protests against President Trump to a coordinated assault on American computing power. The groups include CodePink, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and other far-left organizations that have supported communist regimes in Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela.

A new report titled “The Compute War at Home” exposes how these activists are using a three-phase strategy. They start with local grievances, connect them to broader anti-American narratives, then spread the message through their media networks into new communities across the country.

The pattern is clear and calculated. After organizing “No Kings” protests against Trump and demonstrations targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla, these same groups pivoted to attacking data centers — the backbone of American artificial intelligence development.

“These influence actions are cognitive warfare. Foreign actors don’t need Americans to become pro-China,” Rob Joyce, former director of cybersecurity at the National Security Agency, warned.

“They need Americans to argue for the outcomes Beijing wants. And a free society that can’t build the power and govern the advanced technology is going to wind up renting it from the adversary, read the PRC, that doesn’t share its own values. And that scares me as an American.”

The campaign has grown sophisticated. Social media posts linking Flock security cameras to data centers exploded from 639 posts to over 9,000 in just ten weeks — a fourteen-fold increase that didn’t happen organically.

Among posts where political affiliation could be identified, 81% came from right-wing, conservative, or libertarian accounts. The radicals successfully hijacked legitimate privacy concerns to advance their real agenda: crippling American technology while China surges ahead.

The coordinated effort shows clear fingerprints. In Denver, the local Party for Socialism and Liberation chapter circulated petitions arguing that “FIGHTING BACK AGAINST DATA CENTERS MEANS FIGHTING FOR SOCIALISM!”

In Charlotte, Phoenix, and Tucson, the same pattern emerged — communist organizers linking local security camera debates to national campaigns against data center construction.

CodePink has created an entire website dedicated to fighting what they call “DATA CENTERS AND THE WAR ECONOMY,” describing American tech infrastructure as instruments of war that “must be halted wherever they are.”

The trap has caught some Republicans. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas have moved against Flock cameras over privacy concerns. Senator Josh Hawley launched an investigation into the surveillance technology.

These concerns about privacy and government overreach are legitimate. But the report shows how foreign-funded radicals are weaponizing those concerns to destroy America’s ability to compete in the AI race.

According to Flock’s chief strategy officer Rahul Sidhu, the company uses less than 0.1% of a single data center’s capacity. But the political damage is far greater than the computational footprint.

The Singham network now faces serious federal scrutiny. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York launched a grand jury investigation examining possible money laundering, wire fraud, and bank fraud violations.

The Senate Judiciary Committee asked the Justice Department and FBI to assess whether CodePink and the People’s Forum should register as foreign agents. House committees have issued subpoenas for records, which the groups have refused to provide, calling the investigations a “witch hunt.”

Singham and his funded organizations deny taking orders from any government and haven’t been charged with crimes. But the money trail and coordinated messaging tell a different story.

The convergence is no accident. As the Party for Socialism and Liberation railed against “AI mass surveillance,” Governor DeSantis echoed similar language about an “AI digital surveillance state” — different motivations, same outcome.

“The money, media, organizing capacity and campaign objectives converge in the same ecosystem,” the report states.

From San Francisco to North Carolina, the pattern repeats. Local activists identify a grievance about water usage, electricity rates, or privacy. National organizers connect it to broader anti-technology narratives. Media outlets in the Singham network amplify the message. The campaign spreads to the next community.

The report notes that not every opponent of data centers or surveillance cameras is connected to these radical networks. Privacy concerns are real. Government contracts deserve scrutiny. But the orchestrated campaign goes far beyond legitimate policy debate.

While Americans argue about license plate readers, China is building the world’s most powerful AI infrastructure without similar debates hamstringing their progress.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. America’s technological edge depends on computing power. Data centers provide that power. If foreign-funded radicals successfully block their construction, America falls behind — exactly what Beijing wants.

Wyatt Matters

When Chinese-backed communists and some conservatives end up on the same side of an issue, something’s gone badly wrong. Privacy matters, and government overreach is real. But we can’t let foreign money manipulate those concerns to sabotage American strength. China doesn’t debate whether to build technology — they build it and use it to control their people and challenge our country. If we can’t build data centers while they can, we’ll end up buying our AI from Beijing. That’s not protecting freedom — that’s surrendering it.
