<p>The Democratic Party's <strong>dark-money NGO network, bankrolled by left-wing billionaires</strong>, is reportedly preparing to activate a coordinated, <strong>color-revolution-style mobilization</strong> across the U.S. this weekend - a replay of <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/no-kings-no-problem-schweizer-recaps-revolution-wasnt">failed agitation attempts</a> seen earlier this year targeting President Trump and Elon Musk. The operation, marketed under the "No Kings" banner and portrayed publicly as a grassroots movement, <strong>in reality functions as a professionalized protest-industrial complex</strong>. Its composition includes a blend of paid activists, <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/old-white-boomers-day-antifa-night-no-kings-color-revolution">white boomers suffering from Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome</a>, and a smaller contingent of organic, unhinged leftists who recite MSNBC talking points by heart. </p>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p>Little do these <strong>white boomers know, the "No Kings"</strong> movement, supposedly against "kings and billionaires", is, in reality, <strong>funded by leftist billionaire kings themselves</strong>. In truth, <em>No Kings</em> is bankrolled by far-left foundations backed by the same billionaire class that has been waging a political war against President Trump since his first term. Essentially, one faction of billionaires hates another, so their woke non-profit soldiers create a front group, brand it "No Kings," and bankroll an army of paid protesters and unhinged left-wing activists. This is America in 2025: the <strong>permanent protest-industrial complex of hate and chaos, financed by the left</strong>.</p>
