The “No Kings” protests swept the nation just last week, March 28, the third such array of protests against anything Trump does, says or supports. It is anything but spontaneous and was organized and funded by the same Deep State type cadre of people that John F. Kennedy unsuccessfully confronted. It was preceded by the first planned “No Kings” protest, intentionally to undermine Trump on his birthday, June 14, 2025, followed by the second October 18, 2025. Drawing massive crowds—organizers suggesting several million people participated in the third such organized protest, although a real headcount is not possible. It is designed to unleash itself on the public before, on, or about the midterm this November.
The six leading individuals or foundations financing the ‘No Kings” protests are: “Arabella at $79 million, Warren Buffet at $16 million, Ford at $51 million, Rockefeller at $26 million, George Soros at $72 million, and Tides at $45 million for a grand total of $ 294,487,641 million.” Everyone knows these are “rent a mob” entities to fund socialist demonstrators and causes on the streets (X22 Report, hereafter not recited, Ep. 3834b, Feb. 5, 2026, 41:51).
We already had presidents and governors acting like kings. Obama spied on the 2016 Trump campaign and forced everyone to buy into Obamacare, Biden to take the mandatory COVID vaccine and subsequent boosters or lose their jobs, and in New York, Wisconsin and New Jersey governors Andrew Como, Grethen Whitmer and Phil Murphy sent COVID patients into nursing homes to up the pandemic’s death rates. Gavin Newsom of California denied people the right to assemble in churches and restaurants and arrested people for just being on the beach. Illinois Governor Pritzker then threatened to shoot anyone on the streets that refused to stay in his house and now allows illegals to be sworn in as police officers. (Ep. 3755b, Oct. 19, 2025, 15:29).
We remember these “wannabe kings” —all Democrats. Trump has not forced anything. He has required illegals who “broke in” to this country to obey established law to self-deport or be deported, required also by all his predecessors, nor have any of the rallies against him identified specifically anything illegal he has/is doing. The movement against Trump lacks a plaintiff.
According to Libs of TikTok on CNN “Liberals Want Obama to be King, Not President” (By Dean Obeidaliah, June 8, 2012), and on NBC “Why Obama Wishes He were King” both implied Obama would be a good king and toyed with the thought. Obama admits liking the idea of his being in the basement with an earpiece telling the president what to say and do which many believe is what he did during the Biden Administration.
Trump responded to the accusation of his being a king. “By the way, I’m not a KING. I work my ASS OFF to make our country great. That’s all it is! It’s a joke. I looked at all the people [protesting]…all the brand new signs. It was paid for by Soros and radical left lunatics… we’re checking that out. Very small and ineffective and the people will back out, [they are] not representative of the people of this country” (Ep. 3756b, Oct. 20, 2025, 33:22).
Should coming “No King” rallies (there are two scheduled later this year) lead to another Coup d’état as on Capitol Hill Jan. 6, 2021, Tony Saruba explains how data signatures is used by law enforcement to know everything about involved protesters through their cell phones. He says a geofence surrounds every protest. “Understand that if someone uses a faraday bag or even leaves their device at home, we can still reconcile their likely movements and locations. In fact, it’s after dispersal that the real data exploitation begins. When a large protest happens, especially when that isn’t institutionally approved, you can always assume it’s being mapped in real time by every intelligence and policing network with overlap to that jurisdiction.
“They don’t watch in the traditional sense, he says, “they analyze systems. The modern apparatus doesn’t care about shouting crowds. It cares about data signatures. Every phone becomes a tracking beacon so they know where these people come from. They know where they go to, they know whom they’re in contact with …. Even if location off is toggled, the phone still admits continuous metadata, cell tower handoffs, triangulation gives position within meters, Wi Fi, pings, router logs, MAC addresses, Bluetooth scans and proximity signals IMSI catch or stingrays mimic cell towers, forcing all nearby phones to connect. “That gives agencies mass identifier lists and movement paths, device fingerprinting once a phone’s radio signature is logged. It can be matched later, even with a new SIM license plate readers. ALPRs tie individual physical location to digital ones. All this gets piped into fusion centers, where predictive models weigh social stability indexes and generate risk ratings on protesters.”
Saruba concludes, “Before, during and after the protest. My team and I rely on automated social media ingestion, pattern mapping, bot scan, hashtags, Telegram channels, Discord groups, signal and even private messaging servers that leak metadata, sentiment clustering, AI classified, classifies users as organizers, participants, sympathizers or hostile observers. Social graph scoring once a few key IDs are confirmed algorithm find second and third degree ties, family employee affiliations. That’s how protests get pre neutralized, not by arrest, but by psychological operations, deep platforming, malware, intimidation messages or pressure on employees to deter attendance, even if data is encrypted, end to end, traffic analysis exposes networks and leads to the identification of each user, key groups and demographics in the crowd….” (Ep. 3871b, March 29, 2026, 31:00).
Consider the benefits to patriots and eventual justice. We have an accurate feel of the strength of this insurrectionist movement at all times and over time. Geomapping allows patriots to identify movement leaders and to document their every action when they go to violence. What if geomapping records are still available for 2020 when Antifa left some cities burned and looted and these match what happens in 2026? Criminals seldom change. Trump said he caught them all.
