Y’all want to see what a ghost donor bot looks like?

Here’s the data from a 65 yo retired man living in a 962 sq ft house in Clawson, Michigan.

From 2019-2023 the FEC has recorded him making over 15,600 separate donations to political campaigns.

The list below shows the receiving campaign, the # of donations made and the total amount donated from 2019-2023Image
Image
This list is just Presidential, Senate & House campaigns. It does not include the 5,000+ donations “he” made to Joint Fundraising Committees or the 1,000+ donations “he” made to leadership committees.
Now ask yourself this… who makes 517 different donations to Tim Scott’s presidential campaign and then turns around and makes 557 separate donations to Nikki Haley’s campaign?
Who donates 659 times to a congresswoman in another state but never gives a dime to any candidates running in their own district?

Answer? Bots.

Specifically, bots being ran by dark money groups who are using campaign funds to control their puppets in DC.
Think it’s just Republicans? HA! Democrats were the master minds of this scam.
Except I’ll give them credit bc unlike Reps who are always just out for themselves, Dems keep their eye on the prize of total control of Congress, ergo the bulk of their bot donations go through ActBlue where they’re able to better distribute them to the candidates who need it.
Here’s the numbers for an 86 year old man from Oak Park, Illinois. He made 11,285 donations to Democrats between April 11, 2019 and December 31, 2023.

That’s roughly 6.5 donations/day, every day, for 1,725 days straight.

Again, he’s 86 years old.

I’m going to be posting a lot more on this in the coming week but I just wanted to throw this out there for yall to think about.
All those lobbying numbers you get from OpenSecrets showing that AIPAC gave someone this much or the NRA game someone else that much- they don’t mean shit anymore.
This right here is where the real influence is being bought.
For the Republican it was $60,694 for the charts above and for the Democrat it was $136,215.

But remember the Republican’s numbers don’t include donations to Joint Fundraising Committees or Leadership PACs so it is more than $60k but I do t have the exact amount in front of me.
To find out if you or anyone you know (specifically your older parents (65+) who may have made one or two legitimate donations in the past)
@BallowCC @David97793787 I stand corrected. O’Keefe did look into WinRed in November

The NAR & Charlie Kirk

Part II: The prophet, the Donald & the cabana boy

Back in early 2016 there were very few religious leaders who wanted anything to do with Donald Trump. Ted Cruz was their boy and they regularly declared Trump supporters to be “not real Christians.”
However there was one group of holy rollers who threw in early with the Donald and that was the televangelists.

A largely ignored segment of the Christian Right, prosperity preachers and charismatics pastors were actually a perfect fit for Trump.
There were even some who claimed Trump’s presidency had been prophesized a decade earlier.

While most people roll their eyes at stuff like this, Donald Trump shrugged his shoulders and said “meh, why not? Welcome to the team!”

The New Apostolic Reformation & Charlie Kirk

Part I: What is NAR?

The New Apostolic Reformation, aka NAR, is a movement in evangelical churches started by C. Peter Wagner in the late 90s. Image
NAR is not a denomination and it does not have any set or elected leaders or *official* ideology that defines it.

Rather NAR is a hodgepodge of beliefs, rituals and practices pulled from various traditions within mainstream charismatic and Pentecostal churches.
The core belief posited by Wagner was the Christians must engage in spiritual warfare to bring about Christian dominion over all aspects of society.

When this is accomplished, the road will be paved for Christ to return.

Sloan Rachmuth, who deleted (almost) every tweet she ever made about Charlie Kirk before he was murdered, is now harassing @GabeGuidarini for pushing back on her demands that TPUSA cancel Tucker Carlson.

Too bad for Sloan, she missed one from before Charlie’s murder, that shows you just how much contempt she had for him.Image
Image
The dumbass forgot to delete her replies to his handle. This bitch literally hated Charlie Kirk. Image
Image
Image
Image
This is the woman demanding that Andrew Kolvet submit to her demands, fire @GabeGuidarini and kick Tucker Carlson off the AmFest lineup.

She carried a *seething* hate for Charlie for years and routinely said he wasn’t a friend of Israel. Image

This has been bothering me for weeks.

This was the biggest political assntion in decades and when investigators seemingly stumbled upon a *literal* full blown confession, with ALL the details… instead of confiscating the phone as evidence… they used their own phones to take pictures of the phone screen?

WTAF??? There’s something deeply wrong here.Image
Those messages are literally crimes that Tyler is being charged with and the only proof that they exist is a picture of a phone screen?

REALLY???? Image
That’s just it! Tyler DID go home to his apartment with his roommate… and he then proceeded to text his roommate while at home with him Image

A new report from Brown University finds that America has spent $33 billion on Israel in the last 2 years.

That’s $45 million dollars EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

That’s $4.85/day for every citizen of Israel.

The American taxpayers have sent EVERY citizen in Israel a $144 check, every month, for 24 months straight.

A family of 4 in Israel is receiving $577/month in subsidies, courtesy of the American taxpayer, for 2 years now.

Israelis still have free healthcare and free college and subsidized childcare. They haven’t reduced any of their social welfare programs.

Meanwhile Americans are literally paying for groceries with their credit cards. Same as they have been for almost 3 years.Image
Israel is literally the cause of terrorism in the Middle East.

⚡️Israel’s plan to win back the Christians 🧵

According to new FARA filings, Israel has just hired a California firm to conduct the “largest Christian Church Geofencing Campaign in US history” in order to target Evangelical churchgoers with pro-Israel/anti-Palestinian messaging. Image
Thats right. We now have record of a foreign country stalking American Christians while they attend church in order to spam them with state sponsored propaganda. Image
Image
And if that weren’t dystopian enough, they’re also going to hire Hollywood set designers to build a “10/7 experience trailer” and drive it around to megachurch events to give churchgoers the “full 10-7 immersion Image
