As Evidence of Gavin Newsom's Corruption Grows, He Placates the Left By Announcing He'll Support a Communist Seizure of the Estates of His Rich Enemies

Evidence of Gavin Newsom's looting of California taxpayers is mounting and becoming something that not even the monolith Democrat media can hide.

MacDonald said Tuesday that the DOJ probe "is about California Democrats' modern-day machine politics," which she described as a "feedback loop of Sacramento-corporate lobbyists-governor/wife nonprofit-behested nonprofit donations-lucrative state contracts-Sacramento."
...
"The modern Sacramento machine trades corporate compliance and nonprofit funding/donations for policy access and state business," MacDonald added, and then explained how that grift (allegedly!) worked for the Newsoms:

According to IRS Form 990 disclosures, her nonprofit frequently buys from Siebel Newsom's for-profit film company--Girls Club Entertainment LLC--writer, producer and director services and the licensing and production rights for her documentaries. Then it sells the docs to the state and public schools.
IRS records show that her nonprofit has paid her Girls Club Entertainment LLC roughly $1.64 million for these production and licensing rights since 2012, which includes a steady annual contracting fee of $150,000 since 2018.
TL;DR: Siebel Newsom produced unwatchable propaganda videos for children, for which Democrat-dominated schools then paid her handsomely. Or as MacDonald summed it up, "Over the past decade, Siebel Newsom has collected over $3.7 million in combined personal salary and LLC payouts funded by the nonprofit."
Then there are behested payments, which MacDonald explained are "a unique mechanism in California politics where an elected official asks a corporation, labor union, or wealthy individual to donate money to a specific charity, nonprofit, or government program." Unlike campaign donations, there are no caps.
As governor, Newsom requested a record $226 million in behested payments in one year. "Hundreds of thousands of dollars went to the California Partners Project," MacDonald wrote, "a nonprofit founded by his wife."
"Many of the biggest donors were corporate giants (like health insurers and utility companies) actively bidding for lucrative state contracts or fighting state regulations."

City Journal reports that Newsom's inner circle is a Murderer's Row of graft.

As federal agents examine Newsom's connections, we decided to do the same. We reviewed records dating back to his tenure as mayor of San Francisco. They reveal that, over nearly three decades in politics, Newsom has amassed a network of appointees, employees, and associates implicated in a range of ethical violations and criminal offenses--including, in some cases, serious felonies.
Newsom has suggested he wants to improve California's culture of self-dealing. Last year, his spokesperson said that "the governor expects all public servants to uphold the highest standards of integrity." Our review reveals that, in fact, Newsom has surrounded himself with corruption and criminals.
This is Gavin Newsom's circle of corruption.
Dana Williamson
Governor Newsom appointed Dana Williamson, a "bareknuckle political brawler," as chief of staff in January 2023. Less than two years later, she left the governor's office after becoming the subject of a federal corruption probe. Last month, she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, among other charges.
Williamson was involved in multiple corrupt schemes that began before she joined Newsom's office. In one, prosecutors say, she and two others conspired to drain $225,000 from a dormant campaign account belonging to Xavier Becerra. In another, Williamson claimed bogus business expenses worth $1.7 million, which she used to purchase luxury vacations and "private jet travel."
She also faced a charge stemming from the investigation itself. Last month, Williamson pleaded guilty to having made false statements to federal agents. The DOJ reported that Williamson had hoped to distract the FBI from her criminal conduct by, among other things, concealing her "involvement in passing information to former clients . . . to give them an advantage in litigation against the state."
According to one Democratic consultant, Williamson operated "like a mafia boss."
...
Mohammed Nuru
Mohammed Nuru was a public works official under Mayor Newsom. For years, Nuru was a major figure in city politics, exercising "substantial power and influence over" San Francisco's "business and policy, including its public contracts, permits, and construction projects."
In 2020, Nuru was arrested for his role in a massive bribery and corruption scandal. For more than a decade, he had orchestrated a bribe-and-kickback racket, exercising his political power in exchange for cash and gifts. In 2022, Nuru pleaded guilty to federal charges and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Newsom's ties to Nuru predate his mayoralty. Nuru had reportedly volunteered on Newsom's first mayoral campaign while serving in city government. In 2003, Nuru allegedly helped orchestrate a coercive voting scheme through the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners (SLUG), a city-funded nonprofit under contract with his department.
The alleged scheme involved coercion. In January 2004, nine SLUG street cleaners spoke to the San Francisco Chronicle and claimed that Nuru pulled them off work to campaign door-to-door. Four workers said that SLUG "crew chiefs" requested their voting receipts. "I felt like I was in another country, like it was some kind of dictatorship," one said.
Newsom won a narrow runoff. He received roughly 25,600 more absentee votes than his opponent--the same ballot type that nine workers alleged they were coerced into casting for Newsom. San Francisco's city attorney later confirmed that SLUG had misused city funds to influence an election, and the nonprofit was barred from receiving future city contracts.
....
"For at least twelve years, Nuru shook down contractors eager for City business, trading his authority and influence for millions of dollars in cash, construction work, travel, meals, and gifts," U.S. Attorney Stephanie Hinds said in a statement after Nuru's sentencing. "His abhorrent conduct erodes the public's trust in its government, and this case demonstrates the justice system can and will punish corrupt public officials."

You get the idea. Read the whole thing for more.

Now that the hard left has almost completely taken over the Democrat Party, Newsom is giving up his former resistance to a communist seizing of the estates and embracing it.

And he needs to -- he needs to change the topic of conversation from "Newsom is a corrupt caudillo" to "Newsom is a communist."

He'd rather have the latter argument -- at least there's a growing constituency for communism in the Democrat Party.

CNN somehow got the first word from Newsom:

Gavin Newsom opposes a California wealth tax. He's proposing a national billionaire tax instead
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday proposed a national tax on billionaires that he says is the first part of an "economic reset for America" agenda, which aides explicitly say is part of his considering to launch a presidential campaign.
"The system America's founders built was designed to prevent the concentration of power in a few hands, but we have allowed that concentration to happen anyway, slowly, in plain sight, over decades," Newsom writes. "We can reverse it together, as a country."
It is extremely early in the presidential campaign cycle for a policy proposal -- but comes as Democrats continue to embrace economic populism

"Economic populism," CNN? Isn't there a more accurate term for the confiscation of the estates of the wealthy?

and moves against the wealthy. It also comes as California voters in November will decide on a billionaires' tax after the governor and opponents of the tax late Thursday failed to reach a deal to keep it off the ballot.
Newsom, who is term-limited in California and will leave office in January 2027, lays out his proposal in a Substack post that went live on Friday morning, calling for a minimum tax on anyone worth more than $100 million so that they pay at least the same rate, rather than less, than the average American worker who doesn't have loopholes and other maneuvers to benefit from.

Newsom's shift is an important moment in Democrat-Communist Politics. He would allegedly be considered an "establishment" Democrat, meaning, as David Strom says, he's part of the Organized Crime Democrat Party that Hillary Clinton belongs to, the wing that's primarily interested in extorting money from corporations and putting it into their own pockets.

By now siding completely with the DSA communists, he's announcing that the Democrat establishment is now fully communist as well.

Robert Sterling
@RobertMSterling
Three things:
1. "It's time for an economic reset" is the most terrifying thing I've ever heard an American politician say. If you don't get what those words portend, you don't understand 20th century history.
2. Among Democrats, Newsom is considered a moderate, not a progressive. His endorsement of a wealth tax makes it an official part of the Democratic Party platform for moderates and progressives alike; the policy is now table stakes for any Democrat seeking office at any level and in any region. We are no longer going to be able to escape this by simply claiming it's the fringe left advocating for it.
3. Notice that Newsom calls it a "billionaires tax" but references the wealth of the top 10%. If you think a tax such as this would be limited to billionaires, you are delusional (remember that the income tax originally applied to less than 1% of earners). Billionaires have an entire industry of wealth managers, lawyers, and tax advisors helping them shelter assets. When this "billionaires tax" fails to collect even a small percentage of what Democrats promise it will, they will quickly expand it to apply to anyone with even $5M of assets (which is a top 2% net worth). Ordinary people far below the level of the ultra-wealthy--main street small business owners, mom-and-pop real estate investors, farmers, anyone with a decent-size nest egg in their IRA or 401k account--will quickly feel the pain as well.
Pay attention. This is serious, it's not going away, and it's going to come for all of us, billionaire or not.

Below, Gavin Newsom femsplains that he's only being accused of corruption (originally by the Biden DOJ!) because, unlike the right, the left has no media machine to amplify political attacks on their enemies.

Gavin Newsom says he doesn�t think there�s a Democrat-friendly media ecosystem.

27 On Wednesday morning, Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) appeared as a guest on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” to discuss the primary results with the show’s host, Joe Kernen.

Finally, frustrated by Blunt Rochester’s continued deflection, Kernen cut right to the heart of the matter. He asked, “Where has socialism ever worked, Senator?”

Looking like a deer in the headlights, she joked, “Is that another question, or is that for the next interview?”

It was a stupid remark, and an obvious attempt to dodge the question because the honest answer, of course, is nowhere.

“Oh, that’s definitely for you,” Kernen replied. “I just want to know one place where socialism has been beneficial.”

A limit on the accumulation of private property

Governmental regulation of the economy

Extensive publicly financed assistance and pension programs

San Francisco Mayor London Breed acknowledged that she dated Mohammed Nuru, the city's former Public Works Director, for a brief period about two decades ago.Breed disclosed their past relationship in February 2020 amid a federal corruption investigation into Nuru.

While addressing the situation, she noted they had been close personal friends for over 20 years. At the time of her disclosure, she also revealed that she had received approximately $5,600 from Nuru to cover personal car repairs. This led to a subsequent investigation by the San Francisco Ethics Commission, resulting in Breed agreeing to pay penalties for violating city gift laws.

Job should disabuse people of that.

But what is more interesting in Job is that Job is renown for his godliness. And Job utters his sense of good. He cites that he fed people who were hungry, and gave shelter to people who were without a roof for a time. He gave to those who had need.

His peers just see calamites as "God's judgment" and "righteous punishment" and feel godly as some sort of participant in "God's chastisement".

So we see a sharp difference between Job's idea of righteousness and the other prominent men of his society. Job even expresses why shouldn't he be made to suffer something along with everybody else.

The prickly parts of Job can never be completely ironed out for human palatability, and from a human perspective, but it allows us incremental insight into God himself and what he considered admirable.

As I commented earlier, this was a tough case for the prosecution. I don't think they'll ever find a jury to convict.

All the evidence against him is circumstantial and mostly refutable.

Despite what you may have read, nobody saw him set the fire. There were multiple people setting off fireworks in the same area. The prosecution was unable to prove that the fire wasn't started by one of them.

He also apparently called 911 when he first saw the flames. That's odd conduct for an arsonist.

Plus, the fire he was accused of setting was not the fire that eventually destroyed Palisades. The first he allegedly set was much smaller. That was put out by the LAFD. But they fucked the pig and it restarted a few days later.

Tough case for prosecution.

63 By the nature of things, people entering retirement have generally saved more wealth than those who have just entered the work place (duh). As this wealth tax expands to the top 5% or 10%, it will be basically amount to stripping retirement savings from those retirees who were responsible and saved money, while the younger (less white) population, many of whom don't work, will cheer like its the french revolution. Those in or near retirement who failed to save anything will be validated for their irresponsible choices.

93 OT - I have an interesting point.

Other presidents have done negotiations like a stage performance facing the American Public. They make moves and statements for that audience to gain support and votes. It turns into a performance though and we never know what is going on backstage so the other negotiating party (foreign or domestic) can take advantage knowing that they will get what they want as long as it looks good to the front of the house.

Trump does the opposite -- he negotiates facing the opposition, and the American public become the peons doing all the work backstage, but never seeing what is really happening. We see him gladhanding tyrants and saying that our enemies are "a really terrific guy" and it feels like an insult to us, but he is doing that for their benefit and he does not care how it looks.

Posted by: Axeman

You see the same distinction made in early Christianity and why the schism in the West occurred over indulgences. None of us are 'good' in the sense of not sinning at all. So it takes divine grace to be admitted to heaven and if you are a Christian, belief in Jesus who was the divine sacrifice of atonement for all our sins.

But one still has to try to behave as Jesus and much of the the OT proclaims as the Lord's law, despite our natural sinful nature, and beg for forgiveness of our sins when we violate divine precepts.

=================

I don't get this -- why opposite it in California but not nationwide? -- but maybe I'm not supposed to. Newsom said he'll veto that Billionaire's Tax if it passes. Considering he's on his way out in Cali, the only reason I can imagine for him to veto it is for signaling purposes for his presidential campaign.

Now that he's adopting the DSA way, I'm getting kind of concerned. That Billionaire's Tax bill literally has provisions that allow it to be expanded infinitely.

One of these "loopholes" is where rich people (their business entities) take profits and distribute them as bonuses to their employees*. Another is where they take their profits and reinvest in the their companies. These "loopholes" create a better place to work, more jobs and stronger companies.

They only tried over time to do something different as he gained in genuine popularity and flat refused to go away.

Watch when the exact opposite happens with this "organic" Democrat movement. No personal destruction, some tut tutting, some "oh you, but I think killing ALL Jews is going too far, let's just compromise for now and do half the Jews and make sure we get all the rich ones"... and a lot of "this (straight up communism) is just Populist Democrat MAGA".

Most of those people cannot actually enunciate Marxist theory but simply wing it on capitalism bad, socialism/gubmint good. That is because profit is bad because someone got cheated, non profit is good because no investor got a 'profit' by cheating.

Of course, they ignore multi million dollar salaries and bennies at 'non-profits' . If anything from being around a fair number of non profits, they tend to scrimp on salary and benefits for those low on the totem pole more than businesses do. The higher ups do all right in a lot of them.

205 185 The Democrats have been salivating over our 401(k) money for years, but they hadn't moved the window enough yet. Now they've got their public champions and a sufficient number of brainwashed proles to support it. It'll be the largest single confiscation of wealth since FDR took everyone's gold.

That is more likely to get into a breakup of the Union before even confiscating arms door to door. And they will end up dead and defeated if they try it. You cannot run a revolution from the cities, it takes holding the countryside from folks armed to the teeth and too spread apart to actually focus military force on them.

The smarter Democrats were trying to do the same thing by inflation and deficit spending leading to inflation of the national debt away rather than tax increases.

I would just like to point out that "the bourgeoisie" are the middle class

The people who make a living by building businesses that the lower classes can work, and by providing services that people pay to use, and by selling the goods that they or their employees make.

The entire point of Marxism is aristocrats - like Marx and Engels - using the lower class to destroy the middle class that threatens the aristocracy's dignity by being prosperous and dressing well enough that you can't tell them from the aristos.

The sudden emergence of "bougie" as some kind of put-down concerns me greatly, for this very reason.

276 How did Peaceful Islam, starting from Arabia, end up taking over the Holy Lands (not in Arabia) so that the Pope had to pay Muslim warlords protection money not to sell pilgrims into slavery in the Holy Lands?

I think it's by not being peaceful. And why was Peaceful Islam way up in Constantinople seiging it 400 years before the Crusades?

And why was oh-so-peaceful Islam knocking on the door of Vienna right before the Crusades? (Having been pushed back from Vienna to Istanbul 200? years prior.)

What, pray tell--what?-caused Peaceful Islam to be that far into fucking Europe before the Crusades?

The Crusades was a smack in the mouth the Muslims well deserved by the time that blow was swung.

Does this man have brain damage? Was he molested by a flock of priests when he was a kid?

This is an absurd comment, not even coming close to being some sort of “tough love” type criticism of his claimed faith.

He truly hates Christianity, Christians, and most obviously, Jesus. Black heart to say something that inflammatory. Fr fr.

281 229> Shilling for the worst possible tax

• A national sales tax benefits foreigners by no longer taxing income that they send home in remittances.

• punishes by double-taxation people who have paid taxes on their income and investments.

• absolutely guarantees money flight out of the US as those who saved will flee to retirement friendly nations (which will crop up like mushrooms) taking trillions with them.

• absolute guarantee to crash the automobile and housing markets as people will end up paying thirty year mortgages financing taxes, and as many as ten years on automobile taxes.

It is the most evil and depraved form of taxation devised coming in ahead of a wealth tax.

Lebanese Shi'ites broadcast their misery when the PLO invaded in the 1970s. Israel rolled in to protect them. Israel were then the targets (and so was the US).
Afghans broadcast their misery under the Taliban. The US invaded. The US was then the target.
Actually about the same happened when the US toppled Saddam from Iraq. Except from both the Sunnis AND from the Shi'ites!

Angelenos should be told that the thread of prophecy is severed. Persist in the doomed world you have created.

Just spitballing, but there's a chance more of them split off and write their own charters, like Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Malibu, etc. Hard to say in such a blue area, but maybe NIMBYism could drive them away from Nithya Raman's socialist borg so they can form their own socialist mini-borgs.

296 Philosophically, I think that the rise of Marxism and Islam shows the danger of ordinary corruption. They're essentially confidence schemes, but in polities where grift is rampant, they have lost their immune response that would have protected against it.

Action becomes Repetition becomes Habit becomes Character which, when combined with Circumstance, becomes Destiny. Corruption that is not immediately rooted out swiftly becomes endemic, and collapse will surely follow, as inevitable as Nemesis pursuing Hubris.

And then, what can anyone say? "Uh, sure the rest of us are all scammers too, but the Islamunist is worse?" That is a weak defense that they can't even attempt anyway, once the lying has become habitual.

Therefore, logically, it will fall to the anti-socialist parts of the country to support the MAGA Federal gov't in using the 14A as shield and sword for the civil rights of Americans in those benighted places. Our human instinct to let them feel the consequences that they brought on themselves is unworthy of our higher nature, and With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility.

297 This story is part of the answer I would give to the socialism-curious millennial who was commenting earlier today.

Socialism doesn't get rid of greed. It just makes it easier for greedy people in the political class to skim public money. Also, socialism restricts avenues of access to things we all need, and some people use this power to punish and reward the populace.

298 Another misconception. This one about the Inquisition.

The civil charge was Heresy. The civil authorities brought in the Church (experts, one would say) to determine heresy.

There's a reason why it was called "The Inquisition" and not the "Prosecution". They were experts recruited for their their discernment of heresy.

What is telling is that there are many cases in which THE INQUISITION recommended leniency and the secular authorities decided to torture a named heretic. And IIRC, it influenced the church gradually to not find heresy, because the kings and the princes would not heed the leniency recommendations.

Secular rulers were worried about heresy as a kind of pseduo-treason.
