FBI Director Kash Patel recently stated that the agency is "on the verge" of uncovering the funding and "command structure" behind violent anarchist groups like Antifa. Patel made these comments during an interview with Just the News, explaining that the FBI is actively "following the money" and has identified indications that some of this support is coming from America's foreign enemies as well as U.S.-based nonprofits with tax-exempt status.
Patel emphasized that the FBI’s investigation into Antifa has become a top priority, with the agency creating a new program and division specifically dedicated to tracking the financial backing of these radical groups, both domestically and internationally. The FBI is reportedly mapping out the financial networks that fund operations tied to Antifa and other similar movements.
Patel also applauded former President Donald Trump’s decision to designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, which he argued has paved the way for more focused investigations into its activities. He suggested that more indictments could be expected as the investigation into government weaponization continues. Patel urged critics to be patient, noting that the current team has only had seven months to investigate corruption that has been entrenched for over two decades.
The FBI’s push to track Antifa’s financial backers follows Trump’s executive order, which sought to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle illegal operations linked to Antifa. The order specifically targeted the funding sources behind these operations, including both domestic and foreign support.
Breitbart News reported that during a recent roundtable on Antifa with journalists such as Nick Sortor and Jack Posobiec, Seamus Bruner from the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) discussed left-wing funding networks supporting Antifa’s activities. Bruner revealed that Antifa’s funding is not limited to George Soros’s Open Society Network but also involves other funding networks like the Arabella Funding Network, the Tides Foundation, and foreign financiers like Neville Roy Singham.
Bruner explained that these funding networks, which he dubbed “Riot Inc.,” have been used to support various radical organizations, including Antifa. Riot Inc. is reportedly a well-organized structure with divisions for public relations, marketing, and even a well-funded legal division. Bruner claimed that these organizations have received over $100 million in funding from these networks, which help drive protests and riots across the U.S.
This investigation into Antifa’s financial networks highlights a growing effort to expose the far-reaching support for radical movements and disrupt the so-called "Protest Industrial Complex." As Patel and others continue to follow the money, it seems that the true scale of Antifa’s operations—and the forces behind them—could soon be exposed.
