Democrat Party Takes a Cut of Donations for Bail for Pro-Hamas Criminals;
NFL Donated to Group Providing Free Bail to Terrorism Supporters
And the Democrat Party is actually taking a cut of these bloodstained donations. The Democrat Party's funding platform, ActBlue, is raising money for the "A15 Action and Community Justice Exchange," which is bailing out the terrorists.
And ActBlue takes a piece of each donation.
Police across the United States arrested dozens of "Free Palestine" protesters Monday as part of a "multi-city economic blockade" targeting major airports, highways, and bridges. Those defendants are set to receive free bail money and legal assistance thanks to an online fundraiser hosted by ActBlue, the Democratic Party's primary fundraising platform that earns a cut off of each contribution.That's the old news -- the new news is that the NFL is also funding the Community Justice Exchange. Or at least they have funded it, as late as 2022, and are still promoting it on their website.
The "bail and legal defense fund," organized by A15 Action and Community Justice Exchange, remains live on ActBlue's website roughly 24 hours after the protests caused chaos in cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City. The fundraising platform--which is used by President Joe Biden and every major Democratic congressional campaign--earns a 3.95 percent transaction fee each time a donor contributes to the fund, according to its policies. ActBlue's website states that its fundraising platform is exclusively available to groups whose "work is not at odds with values including, but not limited to, social equality; women's rights; LGBTQIA2S+ rights; racial justice; diversity; freedom of speech; disability rights; and respect for scientific inquiry, discovery, and data." The link between ActBlue raising funds for activists that deliberately "coordinate[d] to disrupt and blockade economic logistical hubs and the flow of capital" in solidarity with "Palestine" highlights the blurred boundary between the Democratic Party's anti-Israel faction and its mainstream establishment. ActBlue did not respond to a request for comment. Protesters on Monday aimed to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as stated on their website. Activists were advised to refrain from engaging with police, with the promise of receiving "money bail, court fees and fines" and other legal services from Community Justice Exchange upon arrest.
The left-wing nonprofit that bailed out anti-Israel protesters who blocked bridges and highways across the country last week was a multi-year partner of the NFL's "Inspire Change program" whose work is still promoted on the NFL's website. Community Justice Exchange set up a "bail and legal defense fund" for those arrested during last week's A15 protests. The protests targeted major airports, highways, and bridges in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. Their explicit goal was to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as explained on their website. The online fundraiser, hosted by ActBlue and organized in conjunction with A15 Action, told donors that the funds will "support community members who are criminalized in the U.S. for their solidarity with Palestine." As an official "Inspire Change" partner, the Community Justice Exchange received grants and publicity in its work "to end money bail and pre-trial detention at the local level and immigration detention at the national level." The NFL's partnership with the Community Justice Exchange was last extended in June 2022, according to an announcement from the league. The league touted the left-wing group's "work with organizers, advocates, and legal providers across the country that are using community bail funds as part of efforts to radically change local bail systems and reduce incarceration." The grants went toward "coordinating and supporting the 100+ local protest to bail funds and a centralized rapid response fund to support those protesting for racial justice." The partnership appears to have since lapsed--the nonprofit wasn't on the list of grantees announced in May 2023. The NFL's "Inspire Change" website lists Community Justice Exchange under "Previous Grant Recipients" and still includes a link to the group's website. The NFL's promotion of the left-wing group underscores the extent to which anti-Israel groups have been propped up by major donors and institutions in the United States. Community Justice Exchange is also a project of the Tides Center--a left-wing dark money network funded by George Soros and other prominent liberal billionaires like Pierre Omidyar. The Tides Center serves as a hub for a variety of left-wing groups, channeling substantial funds from affluent donors and functioning as a "fiscal sponsor," enabling them to sidestep IRS registration. Neither the NFL nor Community Justice Exchange responded to requests for comment.All of the terrorist satellite organizations, from the Democrat Party to the NFL, are refusing to comment.

The only thing that might break that system is to look yourself up in the FEC and deduct everything "you" donated from your taxes. If enough people do that, the tax man might decide to intervene.

When I worked in the campaign finance industry, I saw a LOT of really hinky reporting using ActBlue.
Anything under a $200 aggregate per cycle, you're allowed to stay anonymous and not report your name or occupation to the FEC.

Bragg is going to convict Trump of a crime he won't identify; a made-up violation of who-knows-what state campaign finance law.
And not one suit-- or even a strongly-worded letter--from the Fightin' Conservatives Fighting for Conservatives.

The only thing that might break that system is to look yourself up in the FEC and deduct everything "you" donated from your taxes. If enough people do that, the tax man might decide to intervene.

Act Blue as an organization can be shut down via RICO. They are facilitating straw donors by fabricating donations in small amounts from homeless, unemployed, and retired workers from large pools of foreign and domestic dirty money.

ActBlue still has to identify the donor. They don't have to report on it, but they do have to collect it IIRC.
The FEC could launch an investigation and subpoena those records - and hold ActBlue accountable if it cannot furnish them - but it won't. Nor will it do so for WinRed. The spice must flow.

Suddenly they were trading touchdowns, and inevitably the team that was trailing would have the ball late, marching down the field.
I don't believe the players were throwing the games, but I believe the refs either blew or put away their handkerchiefs, based on some standard we were not allowed to know about.

No way to track down the "donors" because they'll have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

The passing of Andrew Breitbart was the beginning of the end for the right.
They're refusing to comment because they don't have to. Why would they take the Free Beacon seriously? They can just keep doing what they're doing because this will almost certainly catch any major media attention. It's not 2018 anymore - the networks have figured out how to suppress citizen journalism and blogs.

They're refusing to comment because they don't have to. Why would they take the Free Beacon seriously? They can just keep doing what they're doing because this will almost certainly catch any major media attention. It's not 2018 anymore - the networks have figured out how to suppress citizen journalism and blogs.

And then you realize, it was used to recruit YOU or your sons and daughters, to go fight their perpetual wars...

I'm just gonna post the important part of this story for those too lazy to read it and just respond to the shock and awe headline.
Man dies after record 613-day infection with COVID-19, researchers say
"According to the news release, the 72-year-old man was immunocompromised and had received multiple COVID-19 vaccinations before he caught the virus.
The man was considered immunocompromised because he had a history of blood disorders and had previously received stem cell transplants."
Leprosy and lung cancer were contributing factors.

Soros is rich, but he's not *that* rich. He's barely in the top 500 richest men list. He's worth under $7 billion. He's a bit player in the top-of-the-top-of-the-top rich guy game.
$7 billion is a shit-ton of money, but Soros seems to have outsized influence, even in his shitty group. As near as I can tell, one of two things is going on:
1. He's the world's most capable "value investor" in activism, and sees tremendous ROI, allowing him to make relatively small moves and yet still buy huge results (the DAs would likely be an example)
2. He's a front man, and much of what says "Soros" on the package is actually financed by others.
I strongly suspect most of the reality is through door number two, and that he's essentially a money launderer and public face. I don't know, though, and I have no idea who the many sources of capital are if so.

The term has become a mainstay of Republican political rhetoric ahead of elections in November.

I assume this new term is to make Republicans sound less like patriots defending the homeland and more like people who take people's rights away. You know, stealing your democracy.

The GOPe intentionally sabotages GOTV and election security as everyone knows.
But the other thing which isn't talked about as much is building up a group of NGOs and the like to employ conservative activists.
This is how the left always has well funded activists when it needs them, and why lefties in the corporate/government world have no fear on acting on the left's behalf - the worst thing that will happen to them is they lose their current job and get a higher paying, higher status job in the left's NGO structure.

Sure, but what I imagine to happen is that there is a room of 5-10 folks with the job of making these donations, and they just grab a handful of names out of the phone book, make the donations add up to less than $200, and Bob's your uncle. No way to track down the "donors" because they'll have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

I strongly suspect that it's more sophisticated than that. You don't want to use random names, because the odds of getting caught goes up and you could cause real problems. If you use John Doe as a borrowed name to donate a total of $2,500 and then he tries to donate $2,000 to his candidate, it's going to be a problem.
But they are a real fundraising org and have real donor lists that are already vetted. It would be easy to find people who have made small-money donations in the past then filter it for people who only donate small total sums. There, you have a good pool of borrowed names with both a history of political giving *and* a history of leaving you room to maneuver. And if you ask those people, "did you donate to ActBlue," they just answer, "yes."
Much safer and harder to detect

Also, every "campaign finance reform" bill gets massive Republican support in Congress even though all of them have these mysteriously unpredicted knock-on effects of making donations more centrally controlled rather than less.
But sure, it's reasonable to assume that they do no hankey-pankey with donation money.

The latest talking points memo has clearly gone out to the MSM:
Say Trump, once he’s convicted, won’t be able to get a job as a mall employee.
I’ve heard it three times today on three separate outlets.
It’s like there’s a Chief Anti-Trump Propagandist who writes these tag lines for them.
Now watch for when you first hear it — the mall worker line of attack.

"There is a reason that the wealthiest counties in the US shifted from places like NY and California where things were made into the DC suburbs where taxes are consumed as offerings." Posted by: whig
imo, most of the DC area riches come from lobbyists buying favors from corrupt government. Spend $10M buying politicians and receive $1B+ in special contracts or various forms or graft. Control of those favors comes from lobbyists in the DC area, instead of the usual supply and demand.
There are also foreign entities buying DC favors, and then the cartels ... but not much US tax money goes into making the area rich, not directly at least.

Since Democrat voters want money from the government and Republican voters want to reduce the money government spends it would be easy for the GOP to dramatically reduce spending any time they control any of the House, Senate, or Presidency (though the House is the easiest).
Just reduce something that only the left wants in your budget and...go home.
They have have half of HUD or none. Half of the DoE or none...And so on.
The GOPe doesn't do this because the GOPe does not want to do this.

It's a bit more complicated than that. The DC suburbs consist largely of highly-educated middle- and upper-middle class people. The working class and the poor are relatively small fractions of the population, at least in NoVa. There are more of the really wealthy than there used to be, but not that many more. In addition, there are lots of people who work in IT and related disciplines.

True, many work in areas directly or indirectly related to government, but not all by any means, and IMHO, the percentage of Federal employees is shrinking, for the simple reason that the inner suburbs are so expensive now.

But they are a real fundraising org and have real donor lists that are already vetted. It would be easy to find people who have made small-money donations in the past then filter it for people who only donate small total sums. There, you have a good pool of borrowed names with both a history of political giving *and* a history of leaving you room to maneuver. And if you ask those people, "did you donate to ActBlue," they just answer, "yes."
Much safer and harder to detect
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 23, 2024 01:52 PM (HnUIn)

Disagree in part. Using the names of frequent small-dollar donors is a dangerous game because if that person donates even $5 after someone else donated $196 in his name, he's pushed over the reporting threshold and his name now appears on an FEC report with his dollar amount next to it. Someone asks him why he donated $201 to the candidate and he can show he only donated $195, that's a problem.
You have to use people that you're almost certain will NOT donate.

Not frequent. That's the point. People who *have* donated in the past, but do *not* donate frequently or in large total quantities. The guys who throw $20 at ActBlue every now and again or, ideally, only did so once a couple of years ago. That's what I mean by "maneuvering room" - totals and frequency. Non-frequent is best, and I am sure ActBlue - and WinRed, of course - have those lists.

The people who were used as straw donors were by and large low and/or fixed income, who had given a small amount in the past. They were surprised to hear that they'd given $10,000 or more, all in small donations.

Because there is little manufacturing or other typical blue-collar work in DC. The bloated DC bureaucracy certainly plays a part, but it is by no means the complete driver. I live in an UMC neighborhood in Fairfax Co., and I'd say it's a minority who work for the government. There are a lot of retired military, but that's partly because of the generous housing allowances they get while in service.

And has a legitimate purpose, too, which makes it harder. The legitimate purpose is finding a well that can be tapped. Someone who gave before is more likely to give again. Professional fundraisers - political, religious, academic, etc. - across the board make a living doing this.
Or, you know, you can use it to find straw donors for the purpose of laundering money.

Still like watching the NFL, specifically the Giants. Having said that Commissioner Goodell is a complete ass kissing idiot. I'm sure the NFL contributed to the justice fund to gain favor with the social justice left . Goodell looked like an idiot during the Kapernick fiasco, and buying favor with the George Floyd crowd was his way of sucking up

One of the things I particularly liked when I was still watching sportsball was hating certain teams, and no team in NFL did I hate more than the Gints.
I don't know who paid whom, but they were NOT going to let the Patsies finish with a perfect record.

Because there is little manufacturing or other typical blue-collar work in DC. The bloated DC bureaucracy certainly plays a part, but it is by no means the complete driver. I live in an UMC neighborhood in Fairfax Co., and I'd say it's a small minority who work for the government. There are a lot of retired military, but that's partly because of the generous housing allowances they get while in service.

The DC area is also wealthy due to the huge number of double- or triple-dippers.
Guys that do 20 in the military, get out and do 15 working for the FedGov or as a contractor, then ride off into the sunset as a lobbyist or consultant. Two pensions and a seven-figure salary.

Very true about the contractor and consultant parts, because they typically have specialized knowledge of use to the military. Lobbyists are a small fraction of the pop, and often come from working in DC on staffs or as an elected official. They don't generally live out in the burbs.

But they never spoke to the impact this spending has on the ever-expanding deficit and inflation. Nor any discussion about the bill funding the NGO’s that are facilitating the invasion! No discussion of issues that affect Americans in the short term. Fuck the whole lot of em’ including Trump..

My read:
Trump's supporting it because he's playing politics and wants the GOPe on his side, so he supports what's important to them.

The Kobeissi Letter
@KobeissiLetter
Change in price since 2019
Cocoa +345%

Chocolate Bars +52%
Posted by: rickb223 at April 23, 2024 02:20 PM (WFCe+)
Hmmm, why the discrepency? What are they actually putting into "chocolate" bars?
And why would cocoa go up that much anyway, given that it's harvested by slaves?

Maybe because cocoa is but a tiny fraction of the makeup of a chocolate bar?

The Act Blue Money Laundering Scheme – What Can You Do to Help?
This article has been written to support a video I recently launched describing the ActBlue Campaign Finance Money Laundering scheme. In that video I provided a brief reference to how interested activists can help document the part of this conspiracy or money laundering operation which may be occurring near where you live. If you want to better understand how this apparent campaign finance money laundering operation works, you can watch the video below.

ActBlue: The Left’s Favorite “Dark Money” Machine
https://bit.ly/44f0NCP
As InfluenceWatch explains, ActBlue is a service for left-wing groups and Democratic politicians to fundraise without setting up an online donation infrastructure themselves. Money passes through ActBlue to the ultimate recipient and ActBlue collects a fee as payment. This also has the added effect of obscuring the ultimate recipient, since money passing through ActBlue looks like a donation to ActBlue -- not to, say, Black Lives Matter.
Hundreds of groups ranging from left-leaning to far-left use this platform, funneling an incredible $1.5 billion into political causes so far in the 2019-2020 election cycle. Its proved so successful that it spawned a conservative analogue, WinRed, which has raised $235 million for Republicans in the same period.
But the trick to ActBlue is understanding that it’s a single brand encompassing 3 separate nonprofits: a 501(c)(3) called ActBlue Charities, a 501(c)(4) called ActBlue Civics, and a PAC (also called a “527”
simply called ActBlue. These groups all share leadership and office space but are legally distinct entities.

ActBlue: The Left’s Favorite “Dark Money” Machine
The real story missed by the media and pundits is far more disturbing.
ActBlue Charities and ActBlue Civics file Form 990 reports with the IRS, meaning that their top-line finances are publicly disclosed. (ActBlue PAC is governed by the Federal Election Commission and so files different reports.) In 2018 (the latest year available), ActBlue Charities reported almost $24 million in revenues and ActBlue Civics took in an impressive $49 million.
But nearly all the money ActBlue Charities and ActBlue Civics paid out is reported generically in one lump, as "passed-through contributions" -- meaning those ActBlue nonprofits don't have to disclose which groups they passed money to or how much each group received in total.
Considering the Left's loathing for untraceable "dark money," that's shocking hypocrisy.
