When young adults stormed France's Bastille on Thursday, a little-known media outlet called BreakThrough News sent followers a "BREAKING" alert: "French students flood Bastille Square in Paris."

But that isn't the full story.

A Fox News Digital investigation has found that a transnational network of far-left communist and socialist organizations is seizing on France’s fiery student protests to advance a wider political and ideological agenda, using tactics deployed in the United States over the past decade to amplify unrest, deepen divisions and project an image of chaos.

Earlier in the week, BreakThrough News New York Times under the headline, "The School Near Paris That Shows Why French Students Are Protesting."

In the network of 50 groups, Étudiants Musulmans de France, or Muslim Students of France, Piker traveled to Cuba as part of a far-left "caravan" supporting the island nation's communist government. There, he took a photo with Jodie Evans, Singham's wife and co-founder of CodePink, which has received $1.33 million from Singham.

From Latin America, teleSUR, an international television network in the Singham network, frequently circulates material from left-wing media outlets, including BreakThrough News, and it shared footage of French students clashing with police.

The video featured a dramatic soundtrack and the headline: "TENSIONS ESCALATE...."

As French students stormed the streets, the Communist Youth of Greece publicly expressed solidarity with their movement. "Victory for the struggle of the school students in France!" the group said in a statement.

BreakThrough News quoted the Greek communist organization in its France coverage, describing the developments as "foreshadowing more student struggles to follow."

Another international connection runs through Indian Alliance Paris, a small France-based organization of students, researchers and professionals who describe themselves as committed to a "democratic and egalitarian" India.

In mid-January 2023, Indian Alliance Paris co-sponsored a teach-in in Manhattan, opposing the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The venue: the People's Forum Inc., a midtown Manhattan hub for communist organizing that Singham launched in 2017 with $22.44 million in funding. Over the past near decade, leaders of the People's Forum have coordinated hundreds of protests across America's streets.

The People's Forum co-sponsored the event with Democratic Socialists of America and other organizations in the Singham-funded activist ecosystem, including CodePink and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

In mid-May 2024, the People's Forum hosted a screening of a 1967 French film "La Chinoise," and described the film as a story about a small group of French students studying Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong, "trying to find out their position in the world and how to change the world to a Maoistic community using terrorism."

Mao unleashed mass political persecution, violence, imprisonment and social upheaval in China.

Attendees were invited to purchase an $8 "solidarity ticket."

On Tuesday, Indian Alliance Paris promoted the French student agitation while drawing parallels with student demonstrations in India. It posted a message on X, sending a heart emoji "to Gen Z: In France. In India. Bravo for today."

The result is a self-reinforcing cycle: far-left activist networks amplify protests around the world, then package the unrest as evidence of a growing global uprising.

On Thursday, after the French students had headed home after their siege on Bastille, BreakThrough News posted a collage on Instagram of short video clips from the U.S., Spain, India, France, Brazil, Belgium, Chile and Germany with youth waving communist flags, clashing with police and flooding the streets.

It posted a headline in bold capital letters over the videos: "YOUTH RISE UP AROUND THE WORLD."
