The man behind leftist agitation, antisemitism

By Abdul Masih —

He made $785M, thanks to capitalism. Now he funds Marxism.

This makes sense to Neville Roy Singham, who now lives in Shanghai and pushes propaganda into America subtly through “news” organizations. If his software company ThoughtWorks was a huge success, his efforts to destabilize America and promote Chinese Communist Party rhetoric is even more wildly a hit.

“I decided that at my age and extreme privilege, the best thing I could do was to give away most of my money in my lifetime,” Singham said in the New York Times.

He sold Thoughtworks to fund groups like The People’s Forum, Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), ANSWER Coalition, Freedom Road Socialist Organization and Code Pink. He’s given an estimated $100M, and some of the money is thought to come from the CCP.

Part of his pernicious messaging is Jew-hatred with non-stop demonization of Israel. He has funded protests, including the Columbia University encampment, and even sent operatives among college students to recruit and direct.

In March of last year, a Code Pink activist interrupted a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing with national security officials yelling, “The greatest threat to global security is Israel — and the whole world knows it! Stop funding Israel! Stop funding Israel!”

Sen. Tom Cotton, chairman of committee, complained: “That protester was a Code Pink lunatic. Code Pink is funded by Communist China. The fact that Communist China funds Code Pink, which interrupts a hearing like this about Israel simply illustrates … that China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and other American adversaries are working in concert to a greater degree than they ever have before.”

Code Pink was founded by Singham’s wife, Jodie Evans, a far-left activist. It is supposedly a feminist, anti-war group but in reality aims much of his rage against Israel while keeping mum about China’s oppression of the Uyghurs. Code Pink has ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S. designated terror group.

Singham’s news organizations are BreakThrough News — which was among the first to addle anti-ICE furor over the death of Alex Jeffrey Pretti — and Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, which had organized pro-Venezuela rallies within 12 hours of Nicolas Maduro‘s arrest.

In trying to promote China’s hybrid socialist/capitalist system, the “Singham Network” tries to destabilize America, experts say. To this end, funding has supporting LGBTQ causes, especially transgenderism, to undermine traditional values, says Peter Schweizer in Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.

“One of the most divisive issues in America today is the debate over trans rights. Here, too, you see the hand of these Beijing-linked organizations and financiers (not just Singham but also Alibaba founder Joseph Tsai),” Schweizer writes. “For PSL, the trans movement has become a central part of the radical Marxist movement. ‘The revolution will not be gender-conforming,’ stated one article that examined the substantial number of trans members of the PSL.”

The irony of China promoting transgenderism cannot be lost: China has no tolerance for transgender ideas in its country.

“The Chinese government has limited LGBTQ appearances on television and in films, arguing that the depiction of those subjects is damaging to the country,” Schweizer says. “The Chinese government views LGBTQ as ‘an evil foreign influence that prevents young people from marrying and having children’ and bans ‘effeminate men’”’ on television, among other depictions that could be seen as pro-gay. Social media companies have shut down accounts on the LGBTQ topic.”

A study of Singham makes the Left’s silence on Iran’s repression make sense. Iran is an ally of China. Singham promotes those protests that destabilize America. They’re not interested in actually helping people around the world (like the Iranians).

Singham was born in Jamaica to a Cuban mother and a Sri Lankan father in 1954. He was and raised in Detroit. As a young man, he joined the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, a Black nationalist–Maoist group, and attended Howard University.

His Chicago-based IT consulting firm ThoughtWorks exploded to 4,500 people across 42 offices in 15 different countries. Singham sold the company Apax Partners in 2017 for $785 million.

In 2019, he moved to China and started businesses. In 2023, he shares an office in Shanghai with the Maku Group whose stated goal is “to educate foreigners about the miracles that China has created on the world stage.”

He has given $20M to The People’s Forum in New York City. The Forum serves as an “incubator” for socialist and communist groups and organizes anti-capitalist events, including training sessions for protesters.

U.S. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, says Singham and the CCP seek only to divide and destroy America.

“The Chinese Communist Party uses tools like Confucius Institutes on college campuses, TikTok’s addictive algorithm, and organizations like those that Mr. Singham funds to divide and weaken America,” Gallagher says.
