The democrat party’s finances are built on a spider’s web of NGOs (well, they used to be :) ), money laundering web portals (for a little while longer) non-profits, trust funds, and various shadowy groups that push various agenda items.

One of these outfits - Arabella - just got its Bill Gates Foundation money spigot turned off. This after Zuckerberg had already done so.

Anyways, Arabella would hand out money to a group who would then pay left wing “influencers” to shill for the democrats:

So delicious.

This is awesome. All the things I’ve said years ago on the Fool about how to attack the democrats’ funding and information pathways are coming true.

This.
Is.
Awesome.

Oh - it turns out that the followers of these influencers don’t like the fact that they were listening to paid shills.

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers
An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.

The last line sums it up: read the script we hand you. That’s what you’re for.

Nothing says ‘grassroots’ like checks for content, amirite?

“There are some real great advantages to … housing this program in a nonprofit,” Wilson said to creators on a Zoom call reviewed by WIRED. “It gives us the ability to raise money from donors. It also, with this structure, it avoids a lot of the public disclosure or public disclaimers—you know, ‘Paid for by blah blah blah blah’—that you see on political ads. We don’t need to deal with any of that. Your names aren’t showing up on, like, reports filed with the FEC.” (Wilson did not reply to a request for comment before the article was published.)

Yesssss.
