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.
