Thank you to @P_Kallioniemi @DataRepublican @michaeldweiss @marklevinshow @XVanFleet and so many others for sharing our investigation. Awareness is a critical element of innoculation from influence operations.
This new video by the incredibly talente captures the network in action: with Nik, I walked up to the front door of the People's Forum — a hub for the House of Singham — and there I met network leaders Brian Becker, Manolo De Los Santos and Becker's son, Ben Becker.
They refused to answer questions about funding. With nonprofit missions for social justice and charity, they tried to berate me and, at one point, Becker looked over at me and told the building manager, "This woman is a terrorist!"
The manager laughed.
Becker doubled down. "I'm serious. I'm not joking."
What do you think their demeanor and response reveals about their operations?
Remember, the Beckers and De Los Santos lead organizations in the House of Singham that are federal nonprofits, which means they receive tax-deductible donations and don't pay many taxes.
Do you think it's appropriate for nonprofit leaders to operate with such opaqueness? Critics say that at a minimum there should be more transparency surrounding their funding and operations.
This is what I learned they have created:
- A Mao-inspired “United Front,” aligning activists, media and nonprofits across borders to activate actions like the Cuba convoys this past week
- $278M deployed by Singham into a layered network that operates as one system, while organizations use hotels and PO Boxes as addresses
- Direct overlap between the House of Singham and a China state-linked investment vehicle
That last point matters:
- A Singham-funded nonprofit, the People’s Support Foundation, has invested for years in a partnership betwen Goldman Sachs and the China Investment Corporation, the Chinese Communist Party's official state investment arm
