Marxist Operatives Exposed at Columbia University in NYC

Neville Singham, a Shanghai-based millionaire, has established a network of operatives at Columbia University, primarily through the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice. This center, affiliated with Union Theological Seminary, has nine of its fourteen staff members connected to Singham or his organizations. These individuals have been involved in various leftist movements and protests, particularly in response to the recent conflict involving Hamas and Israel. Singham's financial contributions, including nearly $1.5 million to the anti-military group CODEPINK, have facilitated the growth of these organizations. The Kairos Center, originally launched as the Poverty Initiative in 2004, aims to train leaders for left-wing movements and has hosted events featuring prominent leftist figures. The center has also received significant funding from various donors, although no direct contributions from Singham-linked organizations have been identified. Critics, including political figures like Marco Rubio, have raised concerns about the infiltration of educational institutions by foreign entities, particularly Communist China. They argue that this poses a threat to the integrity of the U.S. education system and national security. The presence of Singham's operatives at Columbia has sparked debates about the influence of foreign ideologies on American campuses. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding political activism in educational settings, particularly in the context of recent protests and unrest. As these organizations continue to operate within Columbia, the implications for academic freedom and the potential for ideological bias in education remain contentious issues.
