Last weekend turned violent as No Kings events across the nation saw damage, violence, and even death. Now, Congress is seeking answers, as even the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may have been involved.

Who is praying on the wall?

From The Epoch Times:

On June 14, the LAPD once again issued dispersal orders in Los Angeles after the anti-Trump “No Kings” protests became violent, with rocks and bricks reportedly being thrown at law enforcement. In Portland, Oregon, the Portland Police Bureau declared a riot as “No Kings” protesters clashed with federal officers outside an ICE facility. Multiple officers were reportedly injured.

While protests fizzled out in some places, many of the 1,500+ events became increasingly violent. Just the News reports that one person, believed to be an innocent bystander, was killed during a No Kings event in Utah:

“Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, was shot and killed while attending the permitted event. Our detectives believe he was an innocent bystander. Arturo Gamboa, 24, was arrested and booked into jail on a charge of murder,” police said on social media.

“Detectives allege he raised an AR-15-style rifle and ran toward the crowd, prompting a person to fire three rounds, one of which tragically struck Mr. Ah Loo. Chief Brian Redd extended his condolences to Mr. Ah Loo’s family and those affected by this traumatic event,” police also said.

As many rampaged across the U.S., many more were left wondering who was funding this chaos. As we know, riots and protests like the ones on June 14 are rarely organic. More often then not, these events are organized by nonprofits that specialize in civil disobedience. Last year’s anti-Israel encampments, for example, were funded by nonprofits and, in part, George Soros.

The Epoch Times details a push from several House Republicans to investigate one funder’s ties to the CCP:

On Friday, House Republicans launched an investigation into Neville Roy Singham, an American businessman living in China who allegedly funds protest groups in the United States, including those involved in far-left pro-Hamas organizations and the anti-ICE riots in LA.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna announced on X on June 10 that the House Oversight Committee will be calling Singham to testify regarding the funding of “a communist group” tied to both the Los Angeles riots and the CCP.

Outside forces funding these protests should further inform our prayers. These are coordinated efforts to sow division and fracture America.

In the wake of this violence and chaos, let’s pray. Let’s pray that America returns to Christ, and that revivals, not riots, flood our streets!
