Exposing the obvious overlooked by much of corporate media, Fox News Digital revealed a slew of familiar players tending to the destructive astroturf movement in France and beyond.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, stories began spreading about a student uprising in France with claims of cost of living grievances readily contradicted by images of looters and rioters, including middle-aged men, waving standards for communism, Islamism and Antifa. While CBS News took heat<\/a> for describing clashes and a nation ablaze as \u201cscuffles,\u201d Asra Nomani set to work exposing dozens of leftist groups united as \u201cChaos Inc.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fox News Digital senior editor of investigations set the stage with 54 organizations and movements, of which the majority were adults rather than the reported student and youth organizations. This included\u00a0communists, Trotskyists, Islamists, radical environmentalists and careful coverage by the likes of Marxist billionaire Neville Roy Singham-funded BreakThrough News.<\/p>\n

\u201cCHAOS INC. \u2014 Communists and Islamists unite to torch Europe and the USA. In my newest [Fox News] Digital investigation, I name names,\u201d wrote Nomani on X, sharing the report while teasing, \u201cExpect more names. I like this model: moving names from my database to your consciousness. The US, India, the UK. Where do you wonder about?\u201d<\/p>\n

CHAOS INC. \u2014 Communists and Islamists unite to torch Europe and the USA. In my newest @FoxNews Digital investigation, I name names.<\/p>\n

Expect more names. I like this model: moving names from my database to your consciousness. The US, India, the UK. Where do you wonder about?<\/p>\n

In the report, Nomani detailed,\u00a0\u201cFrom the outset, far-left socialist and communist organizations helped organize and amplify France\u2019s student revolt, using grievances over school conditions as a pretext to mobilize a broader political struggle against capitalism, government austerity, policing and military spending.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on to state that \u201can international coalition of 28 communist and socialist youth and organizations are galvanizing students and youth for a coordinated strike across 12 countries in Europe under the slogan \u2018Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars!\u2019 They are calling for walkouts, demonstrations, assemblies, blockades and occupations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with listing the limited student organizations involved, like Solidaires Students and Youth for Equality and Democracy, Nomani provided names and descriptions for the myriad leftist groups like Parti des Indig\u00e8nes de la R\u00e9publique, Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du travail, Force Ouvri\u00e8re, Amnesty International France, Extinction Rebellion and Singham\u2019s People\u2019s Forum-linked Indian Alliance Paris.<\/p>\n

While BreakThrough News described the protests as \u201cAnti-Macron,\u201d CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, Singham\u2019s wife, spoke with the outlet and pointed to the riots as an example for planned protests in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want people to look at France, Spain and India,\u201d she said while\u00a0Vijay Prashad, executive director of Singham-funded nonprofit Tricontinental Ltd. took to X to express,\u00a0\u201cParis\u2013New Delhi\u2013Buenos Aires \u2026 Let fury have the hour, anger can be power. (The Clash, Clampdown, London Calling, 1979).\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that the same day violent protests swept across France and elsewhere, a similar cadre of leftist organizations backed \u201cNo Kings\u201d events<\/a> around the United States that actively bucked their own instructions to remain nonpartisan.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, Nomani, along with breaking news reporter Michael Dorgan, previously exposed how a supposedly \u201cspontaneous protest<\/a>\u201d against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Austin, Texas had been organized by groups like the Democratic Socialists of America and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.<\/p>\n
