* For starters, if you want to put faces on these sawbucks, you need to consider the actual gazillionaires putting their money into actual organizations and individuals. They and their moneyfunnels are so numerous, esoteric, secretive, complicated, and protean, they constitute a shadow policy making and agenda setting front.
Even the smaller organizations like BLM can have extraordinary impact on the sunlighted policy making and agenda setting, because they are relying on a larger matrix of organizations. (As we see with the MSM, which will ever report anything against The Narrative of their owners.)
Consider the names here, in the Democracy Alliance’s 2013 portfolio.
Heard of any of these? Does the name Tom Steyer mean anything to you?
Note that one sentence: “The analysis does not include money donated to nonprofits that aren’t required to reveal their contributors.”
How about Drummond Pike and his Tides Foundation, which he created to launder named money and assign it to a panoply of hastily cobbled together nonprofits…that can be fronts for private interests?
These “donor advised funds” both right and left are used by the UniParty–i.e., the billionaires–to make sure society never strays too far from their globalista plans for it. It is no wonder they are flatulating bricks as the peon voters have chosen to ignore them and their MSM. They didn’t expect this push-back. All they can do is call names and get hysterical. Hey, it’s worked till now!
So I cannot speak to anon’s specific scenario, but I do know that not nearly enough sunshine is brought to bear on these organizations and their funding individuals.
I would think at this point in Internet history that every major news outlet would have a “philanthropy watch” or “nonprofit watch” expert or department. Just to let the little people know where the money is, who’s giving it, where it’s coming from, and how it informing the story they are reading.
I would think at this point that any news story that talked about, say, BLM, would have a little sidebar on who they are, who funds them, and such, and links to this information online. Of course most news content these days is press releases from these organizations or their funders. And many journalists and editors work in an revolving-door relationship to these funders and organizations.
Speaking from an investigative journalism perspective, it takes a lot of work to dig into this stuff. But even researching Form 990s for these organizations can be extraordinarily revealing. One can quickly see that there are relatively few purse-holders disbursing their Wall Street gains via a protean assembly of nonprofits…with a relatively restricted set of political stances.
So in conclusion, whether Trump wins or Hillary does, at present, the carefully hidden and secretive globalista billionaire kraken will continue to tentaculate behind the scenes and through every issue we read about.
* Their time preference is too high for that kind of strategizing. Occam’s razor would suggest that they’re simply chimping out as much as theyre allowed to get away with.
* So do you guys think they’ll postpone tomorrow’s Day of Rage, in the light of Nice?
If they do, that’ll prove they have at least a little bit of sense.
