During the demonstration in Aventura, a woman struck a pi\u00f1ata resembling Trump while several attendees watched and applauded.<br \/>\nThe protest occurred outside Palantir\u2019s facility near Miami. The company is a government contractor that supports U.S. military and law enforcement operations through data analytics and artificial intelligence tools.<br \/>\nAmong its projects is Project Maven, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze large volumes of data for military targeting and surveillance purposes. As Fox News noted further:<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_9\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There, hammering away at the pi\u00f1ata was Britney Cooke, a member of the All-African People\u2019s Revolutionary Party, a pro-China group that openly says it wants an \u201cinternational socialist revolution.\u201d<br \/>\nIt has railed against \u201cUS hegemony\u201d and the \u201cAmerican empire\u201d and advocated for an \u201canti-imperialist mass revolutionary movement\u201d in the U.S. from within the \u201cbelly of the beast.\u201d<br \/>\nWhile local coverage framed the gathering as \u201ca crowd\u201d of \u201cprotesters\u201d with \u201cplenty of passion,\u201d a Fox News Digital review of nonprofit filings, grant records and organizing materials indicates the event was orchestrated by groups operating within a sophisticated, donor-backed protest network with ties to far-left tycoons George Soros and Neville Roy Singham.<br \/>\nThe findings raise important questions about how coordinated activist campaigns\u2014led by organizations such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which openly oppose U.S. \u201cimperialism\u201d and support foreign adversarial regimes\u2014are mobilizing against American military contractors. This is happening amid escalating conflicts abroad and increasing technological competition with China.<br \/>\nA spokesperson for Palantir declined to comment, and Singham did not respond to Fox News\u2019 requests for comment.<br \/>\n\u201cThis type of fake activism disturbs me,\u201d Chuck Flint, president of the Alliance for IRS Accountability and a former assistant prosecutor in Florida, told Fox. \u201cThese groups are helping China and hurting the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_10\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis is certainly not grassroots activism,\u201d Flint added. \u201cIt looks more like a foreign influence operation that is actually weaponizing American tax laws to undermine American national security interests.\u201d<br \/>\nWith the help of Soros, apparently.<br \/>\nHe noted, \u201cIt\u2019s coming at a time when U.S. troops are relying on Palantir technology in active combat right now.\u201d<br \/>\nThe activities supporting these campaigns illustrate what experts call a well-organized protest infrastructure. This includes tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, digital messaging toolkits, and coordinated protest actions in various cities, all backed by shared leadership, research, messaging, and organizing efforts.<br \/>\n\u201cAs China wages an AI race with the U.S., the network has also supported regimes with well-documented histories of aggressive surveillance of their citizens and suppression of human rights,\u201d Fox added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weeks after former GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was hospitalized for a reportedly serious heart condition, there has been much speculation about his current condition.
