The Los Angeles Riots Were Well Planned

Los Angeles is on fire

again.

But who’s really behind these protests?

Welcome to America Uncovered, I’m Matt Gnaizda,

filling in for Chris Chappell,

who is currently trapped in his 
car surrounded by angry protesters.

Before we begin,

in 2025, more than half of 
companies are already using AI.

Microsoft, Amazon, Google —

they’ve 
all laid off thousands of people.

And 40% of people fear AI 
will take their job this year.

It sounds scary. But here’s 
what you’re not seeing:

These same companies are also hiring.

Hiring people who understand 
AI and can use AI tools.

If you have a job, run a business, freelance, 
or are building something of your own,

knowing how to use AI is not optional anymore.

The people who learn AI 
will outrun those who don’t.

So if you want to stay ahead,

I 
recommend you start learning AI today.

Specifically, I recommend you join 
this upcoming 2-day AI training.

It will take you from a beginner to 
advanced AI professional in just 16 hours.

It's valued at $895, but we’ve

Back to the show.

Over the weekend, Los Angeles 
erupted in civil unrest.

It started on Friday when ICE began 
conducting raids across the city.

Almost immediately, protestors 
flooded the streets,

with massive protests breaking 
out in different areas.

So far, nothing too out of the ordinary.

And a bit of looting. Can’t have 
a proper protest until you’ve

smashed through a door and swiped a few cases 
of Modelo from your local convenience store!

Still, nothing out of the 
ordinary for Los Angeles.

But as confrontations with agents and 
LAPD really started to really pick up,

protesters upped their game and 
started making molotov cocktails.

By the way, this is not Home 
Depot product placement.

Meanwhile, ICE agents outside the 
entrance to a detention center

were forced to deal with protesters for hours.

It got so bad that even moving 
through the city became dangerous,

with one protester being run over as he 
attempted to block a government convoy.

Man, we got real life GTA 5 before we got GTA 6.

And that was just between 
protestors and the authorities!

Let’s not forget all the violence 
committed against businesses and

people just trying to live their lives!

We saw protestors burning Waymo cars…

Which forced them to suspend services in LA.

As one local news station reported:

“It could turn very volatile

, if you move 
law enforcement in there the wrong way,

turning what is just a bunch of 
people having fun watching cars burn,

into a massive confrontation and altercation.”

Yeah, a bunch of people 
having fun watching cars burn.

It’s nothing to worry about,

as 
long as police don’t get involved!

The media assures us everything is fine.

“Most of those demonstrators were very peaceful.”

Are the people who write the 
news on strike or something?

I’m getting really sick of reruns.

In any case, Trump wasn’t buying it.

Being a man known for his calm demeanor,

the president put out a plan to 
bring peace back to the city.

“I have a little statement.

They say, ‘they spit, we hit.’”

Well, that’s one way of putting it.

That’s why on Saturday, Trump called 
on the California National Guard,

ordering 2,000 troops into 
the city to end the riots.

Additionally, federal pressure triggered 
the Los Angeles Police Department

to step up its own operations,

with LAPD officers 
taking a more active role in keeping the peace.

So with all this chaos going 
on, you might be asking,

“Who’s behind all this?

Are 
these just spontaneous protests?”

For a lot of middle class Angelinos who joined in,

yeah, it might have felt spontaneous at first.

ICE is deporting illegal immigrants,

and they’re not treated to the same 
due process that American citizens get.

What could be better than taking to the streets

with your friends for a good 
cause on a sunny afternoon?

And then it just got out of 
hand.

Nobody’s fault, right?

Well, no.

These protests were anything but spontaneous.

Have you considered, for instance,

who had the forethought to print out 
all the glossy signs and hand them out?

Well, that’s an easy one - .

the Party 
for Socialism and Liberation, or PSL

Stop me if this sounds familiar:

PSL 
is a revolutionary communist party

which seeks to abolish capitalism 
and usher in a new socialist utopia.

Its leadership is deeply 
intertwined with outfits like

the ANSWER Coalition, Breakthrough 
News, and The People’s Forum.

And those groups get a large 
part of their funding

from multimillionaire tech mogul 
Neville Singham.

Remember him?

Our sister channel, China Uncensored,

actually did a whole episode on him ,

and 
his involvement with the Gaza protests

which took over American campuses.

To keep things brief, Singham made his 
millions by selling his tech company,

Thoughtworks, and later served as a 
consultant

for the Chinese tech giant, Huawei.

He went on to form a network of shady 
nonprofits that spike tensions within the US,

while at the same time,

shilling 
for the Chinese Communist Party.

Now, that’s pretty bad.

But we 
can’t blame everything on the CCP.

I know, Xi, I know.

The thing is, some of these groups are merely 
inspired by the Chinese Communist Party!

Take Refuse Fascism, which has also 
been organizing protests within LA.

Refuse Fascism is itself a branch of the 
Revolutionary Communist Party, or RCP.

The RCP was formed in 1975 as an 
anti-revisionist Maoist party.

Because, you know, Nikita Kruschev just 
wasn’t bloodthirsty enough for their liking.

Guess all that Pepsi he was 
drinking quenched his thirst.

Refuse Fascism was created in 
2016 for the explicit purpose

of driving President Trump out of office.

But seeing as Trump is back in office,

I don’t see the reason for all the hate.

I mean, if your entire organization 
exists just to oppose this one guy,

you’d think they’d be happy he’s 
giving them something to do.

It’s like your favorite show getting a 
reboot after years of being cancelled.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see if the King of

the Hill reboot garners an 
equally violent response.

Now there’s a whole constellation 
of groups fueling these LA riots,

and to try and unpack the ideologies and

funding of each of them would take hours.

But I’ll give you one more example to show

you that these protests are 
not just about deportations.

In large part, they’re about 
overthrowing capitalism.

Let’s talk about Unión del Barrio.

Imagine a sort of Latin-inspired 
Black Lives Matters.

They put out emergency calls for protests 
after ICE started making its rounds,

referring to the agents as “terrorists”.

Now this one’s especially fun 
because not only are they communists,

they’re racist communists.

Just look at their party program.

It claims “We are Raza Internationalists.”

So, what is “raza?”

Well, that’s the Spanish word for “race.”

But in this case, it’s a broad selection of 
Latino

and indigenous ethnic groups seeking

independence from so-called “settler-colonialism.”

Their manifesto continues,

“We are La Raza, the people of these 
lands, and we challenge any and all

manifestations of colonial, 
imperialist, and neoliberal oppression.”

Basically, they want to create an ethnostate.

Now, when a handful of White people in Appalachia

whose taco night includes Old El 
Paso hard shells and sour cream

says that, everyone’s appalled.

But if it’s Latinos in LA who use soft 
corn tortillas and slow-cooked al pastor?

Well, that’s social justice!

Now, you may be asking,

“But where’s the communism

?” Don’t 
worry, there’s plenty of that.

Unión del Barrio defines itself as an 
“anti-colonial fight for land and socialism.”

And their website even celebrates 
such communist icons as

Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and Hugo Chavez.

Sure, they’re some of the greatest mass 
murderers this side of the Atlantic.

But America is a land of racist White 
settler-colonial capitalist pigs!

Just please, PLEASE don’t 
deport us to Cuba or Venezuela!

And with all this chaos going on in Los Angeles,

I’m sure that back in Beijing,

Xi 
Jinping is having a good laugh.

And don’t get left behind when everyone 
else is learning how to use AI.
