"Secret Payouts: Conservative PAC Bypasses Transparency on X"
🧵Part 2 🧵 by: Greg Boulden

Continued... With $84 million in annual revenue, the owner of Conservative, Jake Little, also owns a large performance marketing firm that social engineers their talent on socials.

Co-Owner, Gregory Disser, is not just treasurer of the ConservativePAC, he is also the Chief Operating Officer at Connect Social.

I reached out several times to Mr. Disser for comment on LinkedIn after he connected with me. As of this writing, he has declined to comment:

Several that I interviewed asked me to contact larger accounts that were not affiliated with ConservativeOG. They stated that almost all large influencers are paid to post content and this practice is common. I spoke with several off-the-record, confirming what I was told.

Websites like “Influencer” allow them to sign up and be fed ads and content. influencer.com/creator

What makes @ConservativeOG a different story from the many marketing firms that influencers have used to promote their content and be paid?

Many of these individuals have found their way to Bedminster Golf Course, Mar-a-Lago, and meeting with President Trump.

Greg Disser posted a picture on his IG with @shaneyyricch, a cohost of the podcast Conservative, branded to the PAC and their socials. This is of note because has had access to Trump, Ramaswamy, and many more. Their influence has afforded each of them access.

Many are likely unaware that narratives on social media are no more free from influence than a @CNN, @MSNBC , @FoxNews. There is just a new generation - the movement looks young. Each of these leaders is in their 20’s and 30’s. Searching through social media, how did they rise?

In the case of Shane Ginsburg - @shaneyyricch , he comes from a prominent family of influence in the world of Amazon sales and teaching others to be successful. His father Adam Ginsburg paved the way for his sons lifestyle and career. internet-mastery.com

In fact, researching the parents of “Conservative” leadership led me to discover these twenty-somethings came from wealth, and that helped them do some extraordinary things. It is impressive what this group has accomplished in a short time in the conservative movement.

But it may not be completely transparent.

When one affiliate pushed back about who was being invited on as affiliates, they received this response:

And this led to the reveal that is vital to read and understand:

This group has control over the majority of your conservative news feed. They not only purchase space for your eyes and ears, they have pushed stories that are not balanced. They are the @MeidasTouch of the Right, and they think they are untouchable.

@elonmusk and Mark Zuckerburg have allowed this behavior to exist. Both platforms do not require disclosure that the accounts you are interacting with are providing paid content to you. The @X platform is allowing manipulation of their own algorithm.

Ever wonder how people grow quickly? It’s seldom organic growth. There are marketing groups like @connectsocialco , Kerns Management, and countless more that will charge to grow your reach with their social influencers assisting.

@RawsAlert shared they could not remember who contacted them about becoming an affiliate. They have made a point of telling people they are one person doing all this work. They were affiliated in this group. Do you believe they became a 1m follower account organically -alone?

YOU, are a consumer. THEY treat you as someone needing to be spoonfed information. They exist for two reasons, money and influence. Until you demand better, nothing will change and the consumer will remain influenced by deception.

When speaking with those that left the affiliation, some had never accepted payment and left. Contributor to this story, @SarahisCensored shared messages that showed she kept integrity and values when offered to be paid to post content alongside affiliates that did not align.

People like this should be celebrated for their courage to share truth, and bring a light to the darkness of social engineering and manipulation.
