Independent journalist Nate Friedman tore into the left’s street theater on Newsmax’s National Report this week, detailing how so-called protests in New York are often anything but spontaneous. Friedman laid out what every hardworking American should suspect: well-organized groups, recurring paid agitators, and a funding network that keeps these demonstrations running like a political campaign.
He didn’t mince words about the players behind the scenes — naming outfits like Rise and Resist and the People’s Forum as the organizers and pointing to ActBlue as a fundraising hub that funnels cash into these operations. Friedman offered raw, unfiltered footage that shows the same faces and the same talking points recycled across events, proving these are coordinated actions meant to manufacture outrage, not genuine civic expression.
Meanwhile, critics are rightly alarmed by the rising chorus of radical rhetoric coming from the left’s political stars, including resurfaced remarks from Zohran Mamdani about “seizing the means of production.” That phrase isn’t a throwaway line — it’s a red flag from a movement that openly flirts with socialist and even communist impulses, and ordinary Americans should not accept euphemisms when the language of economic takeover is being used.
What we’re watching is not mere protest; it’s an ideological offensive. The so-called No Kings demonstrations have rolled across hundreds of cities and become a vehicle for radical agendas that would, if left unchecked, erode the very capitalism that built the prosperity working families depend on. This isn’t hyperbole — millions have been mobilized under banners that increasingly echo anti-capitalist talking points, and conservatives must confront that threat head-on.
Friedman’s work is the kind of journalism the legacy media refuses to do: follow the money, expose the paid actors, and show Americans the mechanics behind the spectacle. His street-level investigations — captured in viral clips and compiled reporting — reveal how professional activists and shadowy donors can manufacture crises and steer public opinion with a bankroll instead of genuine grassroots support. That exposure matters because truth still matters in a republic.
Patriots should applaud independent reporters who risk harassment to shine a light on these networks, and conservatives must organize just as effectively to defend free markets and individual liberty. Demand transparency, insist on accountability, and don’t be fooled by staged pageantry designed to overturn the economic system that sustains American greatness. The future of our country depends on steady citizens standing up for capitalism, common sense, and the rule of law.
