The Billionaires Behind The ‘No Kings’ Riots

Written by Dr. Everett Piper

If you watched the recent “No Kings” riots with a lingering sense of deja vu, together with a haunting feeling that the “fox is in the henhouse,” you had good reason. This chaos is not without precedent, and it is far from the grassroots movement it is portrayed to be. First, let’s deal with the deja vu.

Because most of our public schools have long since abandoned teaching anything remotely akin to an accurate version of world history, most people today are unaware that the anarchy we are witnessing in the streets of Philadelphia and Portland is not without precedent.

For example, in 1793, another “no kings” protest, otherwise known as the French Revolution, took place. This movement led to the removal of Louis XVI and to the removal of his head. Some 20,000 others were also killed by the social justice warriors of that day, who, not unlike those now waving Mexican flags in the streets of Los Angeles, were shouting “Liberte, Egalite and Fraternite” as they enforced their version of “democracy” with the razor-sharp precision of a guillotine.

Also instructive is the Chinese Xinhai Revolution of 1911, which was a “no kings” movement that ultimately paved the way for the rise of Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward and the corresponding executions of more than 70 million people, all under the banner of the Chinese Communist Party’s wonderful ideals of a “people’s democracy.”

Then there’s the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. This, too, was a “no kings” crusade that resulted in the executions of Nicholas and Alexandra Romanov, as well as their five children, who were all shot and/or stabbed to death by the protesters of Red Square. The “justice” meted out by these precursors to antifa set the stage for Vladimir Lenin’s and Josef Stalin’s subsequent slaughter of 20 million Russian citizens, all for the greater good of — wait for it, because it’s going to sound familiar — “wealth redistribution and economic fairness.”

Well, that’s the deja vu. Now, what about the fox in the henhouse?

You might think a movement that explicitly condemns the political involvement of billionaires such as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk would eschew any financial influence from similarly wealthy fat cats, but you would be wrong.

In fact, the “No Kings” marches of 2025 are anything but the common-man operations they pretend to be. Quite to the contrary of being spontaneous protests by everyday, working-class people, these demonstrations are bankrolled by two specific billionaires: George Soros and Hansjorg Wyss.

Mr. Soros is, of course, the notorious liberal who has used his great wealth to blatantly interfere in the economies and political affairs of multiple countries across the Western world, including the United States. A quick review of his Open Society Foundations shows he has given hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing causes in his effort to destabilize America’s constitutional system of law and order.

Mr. Wyss is a Swiss billionaire who has provided equal funding through his Berger Action Fund to the 50501 Movement as well as “No Kings” and similar causes.

Records show that at least half a billion dollars from these two cash cows alone have funded the riots you have been watching in Los Angeles and Seattle. Here, we have two of the wealthiest men in the world paying for political protests against wealthy men being involved in political protests. If this isn’t the quintessential poster child of the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t know what is. These foxes are in the henhouse, smiling with hungry grins as they fatten up the chickens, who are mindlessly clucking on about their pretend predators.

The Old Testament Book of Judges ends with these words:

“In those days there was no king in Israel, and everyone did what was right in their own eyes.”

This millennia-old statement warns of the social collapse that befalls any nation that abandons the objective order inherent in God’s revelation to mankind (i.e., the “self-evident truths endowed to us by our Creator”).

The moral and spiritual chaos unfolding in America’s streets right now under the banner of “No Kings” is precisely why John Adams said some 200 years ago,

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

To paraphrase Adams, there will always be a king. It will be either Christ or chaos. Or, in the words of the immortal Bob Dylan, we’re all going to serve somebody;

“It may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you’re going to serve somebody.”
