Happy May Day, Comrades!
3rd May 2026
It seemed that everyone was “focusing on workers over billionaires”, oblivious to the fact that tycoons such as George Soros and Neville Roy Singham were funding the events, paying for printed signs and banners, bussing in astroturf protesters, providing lunch for the useful idiots, etc. Mind you, Mr. Singham is a relative pauper in this field, being worth a mere $785 million.
All day yesterday I kept checking the riot news, expecting the tossing of Molotov cocktails and columns of smoke rising over “mostly peaceful” protests. But that didn’t happen. Yes, the crowds of earnest progressives turned out, but it wasn’t a repeat of the Summer of George Floyd. There was no sign of the kinetic excess that one would expect if Antifa or BLM had been mobilized for the occasion.
