Church in China Announces Massive Government Raid, Almost Three Dozen Christians Detained

Early Rain Covenant Church in Sichuan Province, China, announced a massive raid that resulted in almost three dozen of their members being detained.

The church said in a statement published by China Aid that around 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 14, between 60 and 70 government agents disrupted their in-person worship gathering.

SWAT teams, police, local officials, and bureaucrats “stormed the venue and forcibly took control of the gathering.”

Two hours after the raid started, the communist officials started hauling away Christians in groups, with 33 total believers detained.

Most of them were transferred to Jiangyou City’s centralized registration center and detention facility.

Before letting anyone leave — including elderly people and children — police made them agree to sign a “guarantee letter.”

Some of the attendees agreed.

“However, officials refused to disclose the contents of the statement until individuals agreed to sign it. Because most believers refused to sign, they were never shown the document,” the statement said.

“Faced with pressure to sign an unknown statement, the congregation chose to remain peacefully and steadfastly in the hall,” the statement continued.

By the end of the day, between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., most of the Christians were released from the Jiangyou detention center one at a time.

But Elder Yan Hong and Elder Wu Wuqing remained in custody.

“As the released believers emerged from behind the detention center walls, they gathered closely together, offering prayers of thanksgiving and entrusting one another to God’s care. In the early hours of the morning, they accompanied one another on the journey back to Chengdu,” the church added.

“We thank the Lord for using this trial once again to bear witness to the Christian faith before many who have not yet heard the Gospel. Though the world may regard such experiences as shameful, we count them as an honor and a privilege.”

Early Rain Covenant Church, a Reformed Presbyterian congregation, previously made international headlines after their pastor, Wang Yi, was detained in 2018 and forced to endure a secret trial in 2019.

He remains in prison and is carrying out a nine-year sentence.

The Commies Are Coming! The Israel Factor Behind the New Red Scare

In June, a slew of progressive Democrats won primaries in some cases upending incumbents with long careers in Washington. Following in the footsteps Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory in New York City in 2025, Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier bested their opponents and in the case of Lander and a Chevalier, defeated sitting House members.

Meanwhile, in Colorado, 29-year-old Merat Kiros beat 30-year House incumbent Dianne DeGette in their Democratic primary. So what is the through line here? Israel. All have criticized the war in Gaza and pledged not to take money from AIPAC or vote for more military aid for Israel.

These current political events encapsulate a party enmeshed in inner turmoil. While party leaders and the consultant class want to ignore it, ordinary voters, especially Democrats, have been turning against Israel over its war in Gaza, the annexation and settler violence in the West Bank and its expansionist policies in Lebanon and Syria. This, many say, cost them the presidency in 2024.

On the other hand, while the progressive wing, many of whom are carrying the mantle of the Democratic Socialists of America, are gaining traction, the MAGA movement is struggling to reconcile President Trump’s war and the fraught economy at home. Many on the Right, too, are blaming the Israeli government’s zeal for conflict and its grip on Trump’s foreign policy and say this is far from “America First.”

To keep these two factions from working together, Trump and the Republicans have exhumed the Cold War era “Red Scare” against the upstart progressives. It’s an age old wedge — the Commies are coming! Will it work?

Here to talk about it this week are Annelle Sheline, a research fellow at the Quincy Institute, who resigned the State Department in 2024 in protest of the Biden Administration’s Gaza policy. Also joining us is Erik Sperling, Executive Director of Just Foreign Policy and former staffer to Democratic Reps. Ro Khanna and John Conyers.

IT’S A REAL MYSTERY: CNN Host Wonders Why Republicans Are Describing DSA Members as Communists

Last week, Kaitlan Collins of CNN claimed that DSA members are not communists. This week, another CNN host is openly wondering why Republicans are calling DSA members communists.

How are these media people so incredibly misinformed? Or are they just lying to cover for the DSA? Maybe a bit of both.

In the clip below, host Audie Cornish says that Republicans are skipping over criticism of socialism and going right to communism. Maybe because that’s what the DSA people themselves keep saying out loud.

NewBusters reports:

CNN’s Cornish Wonders Why Republicans Call the DSA ‘Communists’

On Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, the short morning show focused heavily on the trials and tribulations of the Democratic Socialists of America and their rise, with candidates being nominated across the country, including in NYC last week and possibly in Colorado this week. In one of many segments on socialism and the Democrat Party, Cornish asked her panel about GOP’s labeling of the DSA as communists and said, “Do you think it’s weird they’re skipping straight to communism?”…

After a soundbite played from a Chevliar love-fest on MS NOW last week, USA Today White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers returned to comments President Trump made on the “threat of communism,” which led to Cornish to respond as she posed a question to the group: “Do you think it’s weird they’re skipping straight to communism?”

Cornish then showed a graph of the unpopularity of socialism, which she said showed, “Americans in general don’t view it all that much better than they did in 2010,” before she returned to question the use of “communism”:

And I just wonder why you can’t just critique socialism as is, and you have to go straight to communism?

While Kaitlan Collins Claims Democratic Socialists Aren’t Communists, Clip Resurfaces of DSA National Leader Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud: “Our Goal is Communism”

As the fake news media and the Democratic Party try to claim that its far-left Democratic Socialist wing does not represent communism, a clip has resurfaced showing a top Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leader openly admitting “Our goal is Communism”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins went on air on Friday and blasted Trump for saying that the Democratic Socialists are “the most serious threat to our country since its existence.” She described his comments as “border apocalyptic,” while insisting that the Democratic Socialists of America are not actually Communists.

“While Democrats themselves have been wrestling with what Tuesday night means for the direction of their party, socialism, much less democratic socialism, is not Communism,” Collins said.

However, a clip has resurfaced, showing DSA National Leader David Jenkins debunking her claims by literally admitting that the goal of the DSA is “Communism.”

A compilation of Jenkins’s previous remarks shows him saying on a Zoom call, “Our goal is liberation. Our goal is Communism.” It is unclear when the clip was recorded.

The video goes on to feature Jenkins’s greatest hits, including calling to defund the police at a New York City budget hearing, admitting that he aligns with Marxism, admitting he was present at the January 6 protests as a “counterprotester,” and spewing violent rhetoric.

DOJ Grand Jury Probes Neville Roy Singham’s Marxist NGO Empire: Report

Perhaps we are finally learning why President Trump has taken to Truth Social in recent days to blast the socialists and Marxists who are transforming the Democratic Party into an anti-American movement that seeks to end capitalism and the Western world.

The party’s leftward drift became so glaring last week that even top Democrats were forced onto mainstream media to address the party’s dangerous shift toward the far-left.

The timing of Trump’s Truth Social posts suggests the president may have been briefed on a federal grand jury probe in Manhattan examining alleged financial crimes tied to far-left, China-based tech financier Neville Roy Singham, who has reportedly funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into left-wing nonprofits, media operations, and activist networks that seek to sow chaos and spread communism inside the US.

Fox News’ Asra Nomani reports that on Monday, U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, authorized by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, is examining whether Singham, NGOs he funded, or their leaders committed wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, or other financial crimes.

Is This Beijing’s 9/11 Moment?

The Chinese Communist Party has always insisted its leaders are humble servants of the people. Selfless. Frugal. Living only to serve the masses. Xi Jinping’s father tended pigs in one of Mao’s campaigns. Xi himself spent years in a cave. (We’re all the heroes of our own origin story.)

But soon, the world may get the truth.

A U.S. intelligence law now requires the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense to produce a report and post it publicly online before December 2026. It will detail the personal wealth, financial holdings, and business interests of Xi Jinping and the rest of the Politburo Standing Committee. And not just the top seven. The full Politburo. The 25 most powerful communists on Earth. Their fortunes will laid out for everyone to see.

Here’s why that matters. A 2024 Congressional Research Service report already estimated Xi’s family had amassed at least $376 million in investments, including an indirect 18% stake in a rare-earth company worth more than $311 million, plus roughly $707 million in hidden wealth tucked among relatives. Most of it was parked with his sister, her husband, and their daughter. Funny how that works.

And that’s the lowball estimate. Back in 2012, the New York Times documented $2.7 billion in hidden riches held by the family of then-Premier Wen Jiabao. China’s response? It blocked the Times’ website for years, an action that I think proved that the report was definitely totally baseless.

But I mean, so what if Xi Jinping’s family is worth over a billion dollars, right? Doesn’t America have its own billionaire leader? One who’s absolutely not ashamed to brag about how “really rich” he is?

Yes, but it’s not the same. Not when Xi Jinping claims to be a humble servant of the people. At least Trump never claimed that.

A China commentator called this wealth the Communist Party’s “Achilles’ heel.” And he’s right. The CCP’s entire claim to legitimacy rests on the fiction that its leaders are humble men of the people. The whole con collapses the second ordinary Chinese citizens see how staggeringly rich their “servants” really are.

Which brings us to the catch. The intelligence community has dragged its feet on this same thing before: This report was supposed to be published a year ago, and it was. And IT SUCKED. It was released in March 2025 (shortly after Trump took office), and it was only four pages long. It barely mentioned Xi Jinping, and didn’t try to dig very hard into the investments he’d supposedly divested from. Very disappointing.

So will the real report actually land in December? Will it have teeth? Or will it be four more pages of stuff people already knew?

Billionaire Hypocrites Preach ‘Communism for Landlords’ From Their $30M Hamptons Mansions

In what has become a tiresome ritual among the ultra-wealthy, a hedge fund titan and his socialite wife are bankrolling efforts to impose socialist housing policies on New Yorkers while enjoying the fruits of capitalism from multimillion-dollar properties. Bobby and Carola Jain have funneled tens of millions into initiatives that push “decommodification” of housing and universal schemes, all while residing in luxury that most New Yorkers can only dream of.

This is not mere inconsistency. It is the predictable outcome of a worldview that demands others sacrifice for the collective good while exempting the enlightened elite. The Jains’ patronage of think tanks and policy shops aligned with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reveals a deeper truth about modern progressivism: it thrives on the rhetoric of equality even as its architects insulate themselves from the consequences.

Bobby Jain built his fortune through high-stakes finance, rising at Credit Suisse before serving as co-chief investment officer at Millennium Management. He launched his own hedge fund, Jain Global, with an impressive $5.3 billion in commitments. After modest results, the fund returned capital to outside investors and now manages money primarily for Millennium.

China’s “Ethnic Unity” Law: A Framework for Forced Assimilation

China’s Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress was submitted to the National People’s Congress on September 8, 2025, passed by a vote of 2,756 to 3 with three abstentions, signed by Xi Jinping on March 12, 2026, and takes effect July 1, 2026. The 62-article law codifies Xi’s sinicization policies and extends their reach into every sector of Chinese society, and beyond China’s borders.

The law also applies to foreign nationals living in or visiting China, who could now be punished or possibly jailed for advocating freedom for Tibet or independence for Taiwan. The law’s preamble frames China as a civilization with more than 5,000 years of history that has forged “a unified multi-ethnic nation” under the CCP. This is despite the fact that China has 56 recognized ethnic groups and five ethnic autonomous regions: Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, and Ningxia. Several of these regions have movements seeking independence or greater autonomy.

China also includes Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region whose residents have mounted sustained resistance to Beijing’s encroachment on political freedoms. Taiwan, meanwhile, already functions as an independent democratic country despite lacking official international recognition.

Its Chapter II mandates fostering identification with the “great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China, and socialism with Chinese characteristics” through patriotic education, official historical narratives, and promotion of Chinese cultural symbols. Article 14 directs authorities to “establish and highlight … Chinese cultural symbols” in public facilities, architecture, and tourist sites, including in the naming of places.

The law imposes ideological obligations on a sweeping range of actors, including public employees, mass organizations, enterprises, public-service institutions, industry groups, religious institutions, neighborhood committees, and the military. Under Article 20(2), parents and guardians are required to “educate and guide minors to love the Chinese Communist Party” and are forbidden from teaching minors “concepts detrimental to ethnic unity and progress.”

The provision reinforces existing law. The CCP’s 1982 Document 19 banned religious education among minors, a prohibition the U.S. State Department confirms remains in force: children younger than 18 are prohibited from participating in religious activities and receiving religious education, even in schools run by religious organizations, and the law mandates the teaching of atheism in schools.

The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) has documented enforcement of these prohibitions against minority communities specifically, with Uyghur and Tibetan children, among whom religion and ethnic identity are inseparable, subject to the strictest application.

Language policy is a central mechanism that builds on previous restrictive legislation. In December 2025, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee revised the Law on the Standard Spoken and Written Chinese Language, originally adopted in 2000. The revision removed a provision that had allowed minority languages to be used as the medium of instruction in schools, declaring such education “no longer necessary.” The changes took effect on January 1, 2026.

A years-long trend of replacing Mongolian-, Tibetan-, and Uyghur-medium instruction with Mandarin was thereby codified into law. Students in those communities are now permitted to study their mother tongue only as a standalone class, while all other subjects are taught in Chinese.

The March 2026 ethnic unity law reinforced and expanded that framework. It codifies the predominance of Standard Chinese (Putonghua) in public life, sets a goal of preschool-level Mandarin proficiency, and requires Chinese characters to be displayed more prominently than minority scripts wherever both appear.

The CECC found that the law promotes Mandarin-language instruction for ethnic minority children beginning in preschool. It also embeds ideological education prescribing a single “correct” understanding of history, ethnicity, culture, and religion as defined by the CCP.

Manifesto Reveals Alleged Montreal Gunman’s Antisemitic, Far-Left and ‘Incel’ Ideology

The man accused of killing a Montreal police officer in the city’s heavily Jewish Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood before being shot dead by police left behind a 104-page manifesto filled with explicit antisemitism, anti-Zionist rhetoric, communist ideology, and grievances commonly associated with the online “incel” movement.

Police say that they have not yet determined a motive for the attack.

The shooting erupted Monday after police responded to reports of an armed man near the Hilton Garden Inn in Côte-des-Neiges. Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane was killed, and another officer was seriously injured. He was the first Montreal police officer killed in the line of duty in 24 years. 

A civilian, Michael Mizrahi, also died during the incident, though reports indicate he may have been shot by a police officer. Rabbi Mendel Raskin said Mizrahi had originally come from Lebanon before moving to Israel and later settling in Montreal.

The manifesto repeatedly attacks Jews and Zionists, claiming there are “many Jews” within the Western ruling class and stating that the author sometimes refers to it as the “Judaeo-bourgeois class.” 

A copy of the document obtained by Rebel News further alleges that “the influence of Zionist Jews upon the western bourgeoisie is in fact so strong” that it has shaped Western society itself, and goes on to assert that “Jewish interests dominate the levers of finance, media, and politics,” describing this alleged influence as “pervasive and corrosive.”

NYC Mayor Mamdani’s Housing Plan Sparks Property-Rights Alarm Over Forced Transfers To Nonprofits

NYC socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani released “Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era,” which presents a sweeping, deeply troubling blueprint to tackle the metro area’s deepening housing crisis.

Mamdani told the crowd:

When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.

X user Difficult Froyo outlined what he described as the obvious playbook by the socialist mayor:

Rent control so landlords cannot raise rent to properly maintain the property. NYC takes the property and gives it to his political friends that donate to him. This is all going to be a theft scheme.

Another X user asked:

“Insane. If this isn’t communism, I don’t know what is. Has America really reached the point of communism?”

Mamdani’s backdoor property-seizure strategy will likely spook lenders, insurers, and small landlords. That’s because it caps landlord income, allows residential buildings to become distressed, then uses the city’s enforcement to push properties into nonprofit, community land trust, or tenant ownership.
