Members of Congress are raising concerns about a surge in pro-Chinese Communist Party propaganda and rhetoric in the U.S., citing organizations tied to Shanghai-based Marxist mogul Neville Roy Singham.

During interviews with Fox News Digital, a number of House and Senate members warned that nonprofits funded by Singham may be sowing discord in the U.S. by promoting communist propaganda and anti-American rhetoric. 

«When you talk about the non-profits, you have to look at how China adversely uses or how China uses our non-profit 501(c)(3) status organizations to work as. CCP influencers,» Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital.

«Singham’s group is one of these, as they try to spread and influence other organizations and participate with other organizations in protests, in demonstrations that are going to create chaos in the streets of U.S. cities,» she said.

«When it comes to China specifically, they have used soft propaganda as a main point of entry with the United States,» she added.

According to a Fox News Digital investigation, Singham has funneled $278 million into the broad network of nonprofits since 2017. Officials from the Justice, State and Treasury departments are investigating financial activity tied to the network, including $22.5 million in funding directed to a group called The People’s Forum.

Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, is the co-founder of CodePink, a nonprofit that received $1.33 million from Singham, according to the Fox News Digital investigation. Over the years, CodePink has supported communist regimes, including the Chinese Communist Party and Cuba’s government.

While CodePink’s funding comes directly from Singham, not the government of China, critics allege that the difference is without a distinction.

«CodePink are AstroTurf weirdos bought and paid for by Communist China. They get their money from the most oppressive regime on the planet,» Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital. «They’re a joke.»

CodePink filed an ethics complaint against Hawley for what he said was simply «exposing that they take blood money from China.»

Members of Congress raised concerns about how CodePink and the Singham network are able to operate without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires individuals doing public relations, engaging in political work or lobbying for any foreign government to disclose activities and finances to the Department of Justice.

«How they’re not registered under FARA is hard to understand because they’re very consistent. I mean, let’s at least give them credit for that,» Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.

Even former members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers are required to register under FARA if they lobby for a country or organization backed by a foreign country.

«It should be no surprise that, whether it’s folks associated with the Communist Party of China or, frankly, other anti-American groups, would be funding these groups in the United States. [These groups’] sole role is pretty evident, to protect, defend and support anti-Americans,» he added. «Whether it is terrorist groups [or] terrorist regimes like the one in Iran or the one in Cuba.»

Singham sold his technology consulting company, Thoughtworks, in 2017 for an estimated $785 million and moved to Shanghai. In 2023, The New York Times published an exposé that connected him to the CCP and chronicled his determination to spread his radical, anti-West ideology in the U.S. and across the globe. 

In its investigation, Fox News Digital followed the money trail and network that Singham uses to promote communist and Marxist ideologies among Americans, finding that he established an organizing hub in the U.S. with actions against Immigration and Customs Enforcement and protests against Israel, the U.S. and the nation’s domestic and foreign policies.

«The real crux of the matter is the genesis of that money — is [Singham] really that rich,» Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., asked Fox News Digital. «Or is it a false rich that, yeah, he’s got a billion dollars, but the billion dollars came from China communist China that they are actually funneling him, and then making believe, ‘Oh, no, he made that on his own.’ We’ve got to find out exactly where that money came from.»

Gimenez also noted what other lawmakers are pointing out: Individual agitators and demonstrators, in addition to Singham himself, are not registered with the Justice Department’s  FARA office.

While Singham’s dealings have been investigated by a number of Congressional committees in the past, his residence in Shanghai shields him from being subpoenaed to appear before Congress

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has described Singham as «an individual who lives in Shanghai, maintains business ties with companies and individuals linked to the CCP, works with and physically alongside a foreign propaganda company, and attends CCP forums on how to promote the party abroad.»

War Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday said the United States remains committed to helping defend Bolivia’s fragile government amid ongoing warnings of a coup d’état.

In a post on X, Hegseth said the War Department and the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C), a recently established multinational military and political alliance, reject all attempts to overthrow the government of Rodrigo Paz Pereira a mere six months into his term.

«The United States is watching. Bolivia must not allow itself to fall prey to the old status quo of narco-terrorist dominance in the region,» Hegseth wrote. «We will continue to support our A3C partners like Bolivia to ensure that narco-terrorists are deterred from profiting on death and destruction in our hemisphere.»

Bolivia’s capital, La Paz, has been rocked by weeks of social unrest as mass protests have blocked streets in major cities amid economic inflation and rising fuel prices.

Bolivian Defense Minister Marcelo Salinas resigned Tuesday.

Upon taking office, Paz supported a land reform bill to boost agribusiness that Indigenous farmers said put them at risk of eviction. He further scrapped fuel subsidies, sending prices surging by nearly 90%. Motorists complained that the gasoline was contaminated and ruined their cars.

The Trump administration has said drug traffickers are responsible for inciting the mass unrest.

«Let there be no mistake: the United States stands squarely in support of Bolivia’s legitimate constitutional government,» Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote Wednesday on X. «We will not allow criminals and drug traffickers to overthrow democratically elected leaders in our hemisphere.»

«Let us not make any mistake about that; it is a coup financed by this perverse alliance between politics and organized crime across the region,» Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said Tuesday, stating that the protests were part of an ongoing «coup d’état.»

Meanwhile, former President Evo Morales, the country’s first Indigenous president who ruled for an unprecedented 14 years, is calling for early elections. «Paz only has two paths left: a suicidal decision like militarization or … an election in the next 90 days,» he wrote on X.

For almost two years now, Morales has been hiding out in Bolivia’s central coca-growing Chapare region, evading an arrest warrant on human trafficking charges relating to allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old girl. He rejects the allegations as politically motivated.

«No es fácil»: la Selección de Irán cuenta cómo la guerra complica su preparación para el Mundial

Published

on


Irán se dirige al Mundial mientras el país está en guerra con la nación anfitriona principal, una situación única en la historia del torneo.

En entrevistas exclusivas concedidas a Associated Press durante una concentración del equipo en Turquía, dos miembros de la selección iraní describieron cómo el conflicto está afectando a sus preparativos para el Mundial.

“Bueno, para ser honesto, no es fácil”, dice Saeid Ezatolahi, un centrocampista de 29 años que también jugó para Irán en las Copas Mundiales de 2018 y 2022.

“Este será mi tercer Mundial. Así que para mí y para algunos de los otros jugadores, tal vez sea más fácil sobrellevar este tipo de cosas”, explica en inglés al margen de una sesión de entrenamiento el miércoles. “Pero al final… va a ser difícil para nosotros porque, al mismo tiempo, estamos al tanto de las noticias de nuestro país y, por supuesto, los asuntos políticos pueden afectar la mentalidad de los jugadores y de la gente”.

Visas para entrar a Estados Unidos y base en Tijuana

La selección iraní pasó más de dos semanas en Turquía, entrenando principalmente en la ciudad costera de Antalya, y algunos jugadores viajaron a la capital, Ankara, para presentar solicitudes de visa en la embajada de Estados Unidos. El acceso de los medios a sus preparativos para el Mundial ha sido limitado, y los jugadores rara vez hablan con periodistas internacionales.

El equipo tiene previsto viajar a México este fin de semana tras recibir las visas de la embajada mexicana en Ankara. El jueves, el equipo anunció que el proceso para obtener los permisos de entrada para todos sus integrantes había concluido. Los problemas con la tramitación de las visas obligaron a trasladar la base de entrenamiento de Irán para el Mundial de Tucson, Arizona, a Tijuana, en la frontera de México con California.

Irán disputará sus dos primeros partidos cerca de Los Ángeles, ciudad que cuenta con una gran comunidad iraní, muchos de cuyos miembros se oponen al gobierno actual.

“Sin duda, esperamos una gran afluencia de hinchas durante nuestros partidos en el estadio”, declaró Ezatolahi. “Esto nos generará mucha presión, las expectativas son muy altas. Ojalá podamos enorgullecerlos y demostrarles que los iraníes estamos preparados para cualquier desafío en el mundo”, añadió.

Mohammad Ghorbani, de 24 años, participará en su primer Mundial con Irán.

“Es cierto que estamos atravesando circunstancias especiales en este momento, pero somos futbolistas y tenemos que jugar, entrenar y prepararnos para las competiciones que tenemos por delante”, dice el jugador afincado en Abu Dabi a la AP en persa.

“Por otro lado, sabemos que nuestra gente ha pasado por muchas dificultades durante la guerra, y vamos allí por ellos, para obtener los mejores resultados para su alegría y la alegría del pueblo de nuestro país”.

El 28 de febrero, Estados Unidos e Israel lanzaron su guerra contra Irán, asesinando a su líder supremo y a otros altos funcionarios. Irán respondió con ataques contra Israel, las fuerzas estadounidenses y los estados árabes del Golfo. Además, mantiene un control absoluto sobre el estrecho de Ormuz, la estrecha entrada al Golfo Pérsico, poniendo en peligro el suministro energético mundial.

A pesar de que existe un alto el fuego nominal, Irán y Estados Unidos aún no han negociado un fin definitivo a la guerra y los ataques continúan en la región.

Irán está en el Grupo G con Nueva Zelanda, Bélgica y Egipto

El equipo de Irán no está obligado a entrar en Estados Unidos hasta el 14 de junio, un día antes de su primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda en el estadio de los Los Angeles Rams en Inglewood.

Irán regresa a Inglewood para enfrentarse a Bélgica el 21 de junio y completa la fase de grupos del Grupo G en Seattle, contra Egipto el 26 de junio.

“Estoy muy orgulloso de formar parte de mi selección nacional”, dijo Ezatolahi, cuya carrera lo ha llevado a jugar en clubes de España, Rusia, Inglaterra, Bélgica, Dinamarca, Qatar y ahora en Dubái, en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos.

“Necesitamos despejar nuestras mentes y estar frescos porque nuestro objetivo y nuestro deber es luchar por nuestra gente, representar a nuestro país y demostrar lo buenos que somos”, dijo.

Ghorbani estuvo de acuerdo, diciendo que el equipo quiere brindar alegría a los iraníes.

“El mejor mensaje que puedo dar ahora mismo es que el equipo iraní está demostrando lo que significa ser un equipo”, dijo. “Estamos demostrando que somos un solo equipo bajo una misma bandera que puede traer alegría a todo nuestro país y mostrar al mundo el poder de los jugadores y del pueblo iraní”.

Democrats split over Tlaib’s Lebanon measure as Republicans seize on Hezbollah omission

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Democrats splintered over a resolution seeking to block the U.S. from assisting Israel’s war against Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, on Thursday.

The measure, offered by progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., would require President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Lebanon. For months, Israel and Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist group and Iranian proxy, have been at war in southern Lebanon, but the United States has not joined the conflict.

A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., rejected the measure. Critics argued the resolution could aid Hezbollah and potentially hamstring U.S. military operations in the country. 

Tlaib’s resolution failed 92-324, with more than half of House Democrats joining nearly all Republicans to vote it down.

REP RASHIDA TLAIB MOVES TO BLOCK US OPERATIONS IN LEBANON BUT IGNORES HEZBOLLAH

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., an Israel critic, was the lone Republican to support Tlaib’s measure. Meanwhile, Reps. Derek Tran, D-Calif., and Betty McCollum, D-Minn., voted present.

House Democratic leaders said shortly before the vote they would oppose Tlaib’s resolution and work with the progressive lawmaker on a narrower measure exempting some U.S. military operations in the country. Their statement also denounced Hezbollah as a «violent terrorist organization» and a «sworn enemy of the United States.»

Tlaib, who has accused Israel of committing «ethnic cleansing» in Lebanon, did not mention Hezbollah in her resolution. She and other proponents of the measure also avoided discussing the Iranian proxy force during heated floor debate over the measure. 

Republicans highlighted the omission and accused the legislation’s supporters of serving as «proxies for Hezbollah.»

«Apparently they don’t want to see Israel killing Hezbollah, even though it’s Hezbollah that is killing Israeli children, Israeli adults, Israeli elders,» House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., said Wednesday, referring to his Democratic colleagues.

Tlaib asserted that her resolution would only affect U.S. forces actively engaged in hostilities. Republicans, however, disputed that claim and suggested it would hurt U.S. efforts to counter Hezbollah. 

«It doesn’t say anything about [whether] you can keep the Marines that are in the embassy,» Mast said, referring to the U.S. embassy in Beirut. «That’s a pretty big oversight. It doesn’t say anything about whether we can keep United States armed forces that are training missions with the LAF [Lebanese Armed Forces]. Again, pretty big oversight.»

RASHIDA TLAIB HIT WITH HOUSE CENSURE THREAT, ACCUSED OF ‘CELEBRATING TERRORISM’ IN PRO-PALESTINIAN SPEECH

The debate turned personal when Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, linked Tlaib to Hezbollah.

«Hezbollah is a terrorist organization … and its members are butchers that you like to hang out with to a certain extent,» the Ohio lawmaker said, referring to Tlaib.

A shouting match between the two then broke out, with Tlaib demanding that Miller’s remarks be stricken from the record.

The presiding chair ultimately complied with her request, but Miller doubled down on his remarks.

«Yes, I said it. I own it, and I stand by it,» Mast said on behalf of Miller on the floor.

Tlaib’s failed war powers resolution comes as Iran has sought to tie Israel’s invasion of Lebanon to its ceasefire negotiations with the United States.

Hezbollah, which has long helped Iran project power in the region, rejected a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon’s government Thursday.
