America's technological future and the safety of its communities are under assault, not from foreign powers directly, but from within. A shocking new report unmasks a radical leftist activist network, operating under the deceptive banner of "No Kings," as a primary force behind widespread opposition to critical data centers and essential law enforcement technology like Flock license plate cameras.
This isn't a grassroots movement; it's a calculated campaign. The same activist ecosystem that has relentlessly targeted President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Tesla, Israel, and even our own immigration enforcement (ICE) has now expanded its destructive reach. Their new battlefield? The very infrastructure powering artificial intelligence and the surveillance tools local police rely on to keep neighborhoods safe.
At the center of this web of subversion is Neville Roy Singham, a Connecticut-born tech millionaire who bizarrely relocated to Shanghai. Singham has emerged as a deep-pocketed financier for numerous American Marxist and radical Left-wing organizations. While Singham and his funded groups deny acting on behalf of the Chinese government or any political party, and have faced no formal charges of wrongdoing, the optics of a Shanghai-based tycoon funding anti-American infrastructure campaigns are, shall we say, less than reassuring.
A damning new report commissioned by Consumer Action for a Strong Economy details how these activists are deliberately intertwining opposition to data centers with concerns about AI, policing, immigration enforcement, energy consumption, and surveillance. The report states plainly: "The money, media infrastructure, organizing capacity, and campaign objectives… converge in the same ecosystem." This isn't disparate concern; it’s a coordinated attack.
Organizations like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), CodePink, The People’s Forum, and the ANSWER Coalition are at the core of this operation, leveraging existing protest infrastructure for new, destructive political causes. They often intersect with more "mainstream" Democrat activist groups such as Indivisible and the Sunrise Movement, creating a broader, more palatable front for their radical agenda.
Naturally, some Republicans and other Americans, unconnected to the radical Left, have also expressed genuine concerns about privacy and data retention, particularly regarding law enforcement's use of license-plate data. Figures like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) have indeed taken action or launched investigations into Flock cameras. But the report makes it clear: the activist network at its heart deliberately manufactures and amplifies these connections.
Proof of this deliberate orchestration is stark. Social media posts linking Flock cameras and data centers surged from just 639 over a ten-week period to a staggering 9,009 in the subsequent ten weeks—a more than fourteen-fold increase. While conservatives and libertarians accounted for a significant portion of these later posts (81%), the report strongly suggests this isn't organic. "Issue pairings rarely multiply fourteen-fold in a matter of weeks without a catalyst, particularly when the surge begins immediately after organizers start promoting the connection," the report concludes. This is weaponized messaging.
Rob Joyce, the former National Security Agency cybersecurity director, minced no words about these tactics: "These influence actions are cognitive warfare." He added a chilling clarification: "Foreign actors don’t need Americans to become pro-China. They need Americans to argue for the outcomes Beijing wants." And there it is.
In Denver, PSL activists brazenly pushed an anti-data center agenda, simultaneously attacking Flock cameras as part of a "broader surveillance system." Their May rallying cry? "FIGHTING BACK AGAINST DATA CENTERS MEANS FIGHTING FOR SOCIALISM!" Because of course, it does.
Tucson, Arizona, saw PSL join a coalition for an event tellingly named "It’s ALL Connected," where organizers linked mass surveillance and data centers, offering their own answer to the question "what do they have in common?": "IT’S ALL CONNECTED."
CodePink, a group notorious for its radical stances, has similarly framed data centers as part of a larger "war economy," tying them to AI companies, military contractors, Palantir, ICE, and surveillance. They openly advocate for activists to oppose these projects as part of a grander campaign against American defense and technology industries. Their goal is clear: cripple American strength.
Flock cameras become a convenient, physical lightning rod for these activists, allowing them to connect an individual police camera to an expansive, abstract argument about cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data infrastructure. It's a strategic way to turn local concerns into a national anti-technology, anti-law enforcement narrative.
The campaign's impact is not theoretical. Authors of the report document four data center projects dropped, ten local governments imposing construction moratoriums, and one project permanently banned. This represents an estimated $23.6 billion in delayed or blocked investment—a staggering self-inflicted wound to America's future, engineered by radical groups.
This campaign is finally attracting the scrutiny it deserves, especially given Singham's sprawling network. Congress has initiated investigations into his funding. The Senate Judiciary Committee has pressed the Justice Department and FBI on whether CodePink and The People’s Forum should register as foreign agents. The House Oversight Committee has sought information on Singham’s financial ties to Left-wing organizations, and the House Ways and Means Committee has even subpoenaed records from organizations within his network like BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People’s Forum.
Adding to the gravity, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has separately launched a grand jury investigation into Singham and the financial activities of his network. The walls are closing in.
This isn't merely about privacy or infrastructure; it's about the very sovereignty and future of the United States. When shadowy networks, potentially funded by figures with ties to adversarial nations, actively work to cripple our technological advancement and undermine law enforcement, it demands immediate and decisive action. Americans must be vigilant against those who seek to erode our national security and economic prosperity under the guise of activism, and hold accountable those who would rather see America fall behind than thrive. The America First movement recognizes that true strength begins at home, defending against both foreign threats and domestic subversion.
