Who profits when cities burn? ActBlue, that's who

What would you call an organization that collects money from the public 
and distributes it to organizations that fund riots that result in 
billions of dollars in damages, that transfer the money to bail out 
criminals who ultimately kill and victimize innocent Americans, that 
support terrorist organizations, and that pay for people that engage in 
domestic terrorism within the United States?

Certainly, you would refer to them by a variety of names. Yet, you would 
at the very least call them criminals.

What I have described is a mainstream organization that is presently 
operating in the open in the United States and has not experienced any 
consequences for its actions in the decades that it has been in operation. 
It is not a fictitious organization that has been pulled from the page of 
a comic book. No, it's real. It's ActBlue, the primary Democratic Party 
fundraising juggernaut that collects billions of dollars in donations 
annually from the public, distributes the funds, and retains a 4% 
processing fee.

Contributing to a candidate, PAC, or other advocacy or not-for-profit 
organization is a relatively simple process. Just provide your payment 
information and address, and you can donate immediately. However, this 
presents a problem for which ActBlue has been subjected to considerable 
scrutiny.

Is ActBlue vetting and verifying the accuracy of the information?

Donations to political campaigns by foreign nationals (individuals who are 
either not U.S. citizens or who have not been lawfully permitted to reside 
in the United States) are explicitly prohibited by federal law. ActBlue's 
seemingly only defense against this is the requirement of an address and a 
text section below the payment information section that outlines the 
rules, including the requirement that the individual be a U.S. citizen or 
lawful permanent resident. Thus, the only requirement for donating is to 
provide the amount, payment information, and address.

This has led to the attorneys general of numerous states submitting a 
letter to the Federal Election Commission and ActBlue, requesting 
information regarding the platform's verification of donors’ information. 
ActBlue's systems may very well facilitate straw donations by foreign 
nationals, in addition to the fact that it may be effortless to add a 
fictitious address, which is not yet known.

Donations have been made to organizations that have engaged in activities 
that are legally questionable through ActBlue. For example, Black Lives 
Matter, which decimated Minneapolis in 2020, various Palestinian groups 
that have supported Hamas — a designated terrorist organization — and the 
current Tesla protests, where the organizations being funded through 
ActBlue have paid for protestors to not only engage in widespread protests 
against Tesla but also to instigate domestic terrorism by firebombing 
Tesla's in an attempt to influence the government.

In 2020, the George Floyd Riots, for instance, resulted in approximately 
$2 billion in damages and the destruction of Minneapolis. ActBlue was 
responsible for a large part of the funding for the organization which 
organized the riots. In the past few years, ActBlue donations have been 
utilized to finance pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas encampments on major 
college campuses. They have also been responsible for raising money for 
organizations that bailed out hundreds, or potentially thousands, of 
violent criminals from prison. In a recent incident, for example, a 
violent man in Texas was released by an organization that was funded by 
ActBlue. The man subsequently engaged in a shooting spree across the state 
that resulted in the deaths of six individuals and the injury of three.

Meanwhile, ActBlue reaped and is reaping substantial profits from the 
financing of terrorist-supporting organizations, the killing and looting 
of innocent Americans, and the destruction of cities and small businesses.

Who else could get away with that?

Top officials at ActBlue seem to think that not even they can get away 
with it for longer. At least seven top ActBlue officials resigned 
recently, following accusations that its fundraising platform is 
permitting unlawful financial contributions.

Democratic organizations are notorious for engaging in unlawful and 
harmful political activities. Greenpeace, an organization that maintains a 
voter action page on ActBlue, successfully advocated to stop the 
production of Golden Rice, a genetically modified rice rich in Vitamin A. 
This rice was created to be distributed to African and Asian nations, 
whose populations notoriously suffer from vitamin A deficiency. In Africa 
alone, thousands of children die per year as a result of their blindness 
caused by vitamin A deficiency.

A win for the environment.

To continue the pain, a CNN investigation conducted last year revealed 
that ActBlue and WinRed (the Republican equivalent) have been exploiting 
the information provided by elderly donors to send misleading unsolicited 
text messages and emails, purportedly from the candidates themselves. This 
has resulted in the deception of elderly persons who are lonely or have 
dementia into donating more and more to their causes.

In one case, an elderly man innocently contributed over $400,000 to then-
candidate Donald Trump and other Republicans, citing the "nice" messages 
that the president's son sent to him (the messages were automated, 
targeted, sent to thousands simultaneously, and likely written by a 
campaign staffer).

Studies have demonstrated that the elderly are more susceptible to 
personalized requests for donations, particularly when they receive text 
messages that appear to originate from candidates and request additional 
contributions.

So, how many foreign nationals have contributed to democratic 
organizations that disrupt and cause internal division in the United 
States. How much foreign influence is being directly caused by ActBlue and 
other similar online platforms within the United States, right under our 
noses? We might never know. But what we do know is that it can happen – 
and likely is – and ActBlue is seemingly doing nothing to stop it.

And that is the most frightening prospect of all.


-- 
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama 
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
