Why can’t BLM donations be followed to their destination?

BLM PAC received FEC termination authorization 2/20/2019

Where does the money go after you click the donate to BLM link atop Airbnb?

 

Kailee Scales (BLM managing director) had no answers to simIlar questions when supporters repeatedly asked her on Monday’s ask-me-anything Q/A session:

So, after learning the BLM PAC was terminated last year (reported zero activity since its inception in Dec ‘15) and can’t actually cash any checks issued by the democrat super PAC (where donors actually sent donations), and after hearing BLM’s director/ professional fund raiser can’t, or won’t, disclose how donations are being used, tracked, or reconciled, donors might understandably demand their money back upon realizing they may have been defrauded. There’s just one problem; as per actblue terms and conditions, donors can’t do that:

 

*Re-designation of Contributions

In the event that a campaign or committee (a) fails for 60 days to cash a check from ActBlue which includes your contribution (after ActBlue makes repeated attempts to work with the campaign to ensure all checks are cashed), or (b) affirmatively refuses a contribution earmarked through ActBlue, your contribution will be re-designated as a contribution to ActBlue. Contributions to social welfare organizations which are similarly not cashed or affirmatively refused will be kept by ActBlue and used generally to support its social welfare activities. Contributions to charitable organizations which are not cashed or affirmatively refused will go to ActBlue Charities.

 

*Refund policy

ActBlue does everything we can to accommodate requests for refunds. We do our best to honor refunds requested for reasons such as input error, when a contributor accidentally donates twice or enters the wrong donation amount. ActBlue will not consider refunds for other reasons such as a change in political or personal opinion or the cancellation of an event. ActBlue reserves the right to refuse a refund request for these or other reasons.

 

Translation: “Thanks for the cash, it’s ours now, we will do whatever we want with it, and you can’t do a thing about it!”

 

They knew they could tell us to our faces “we are going to defraud you now” and that most of us would either be too apathetic, too comfortable, or simply unable to overcome cognitive dissonance long enough to ask any questions.

 

Why are such questionable and vague charitable methods being pushed so hard by so many big name companies and celebrities?

If it’s not about racial equality, what is it really about?

Donors wanting to do their due diligence may have to wait until issues with FEC servers are resolved. It seems that no filings can be accessed as of this writing.

Another poster Andrew0 offered a link to a fact-check article in a previous discussion. Irony of ironies, the information claimed cannot be supported with documentation. You might call the fact-check article “unfactual”?

 

The article claims that “thousand currents” is the rightful recipient of BLM donations. A search renders zero results when cross referencing FEC filings for “thousand currents” and “actblue” (the Democrat political action committee taking donations in the name of BLM).

 

Interestingly, what is evident in the filings of “actblue” and “Biden for president” is almost 100% of Biden’s campaign contributions are from actblue. Every rabbit trail to find where the actual BLM donations go leads to a dead end with a politician sitting there.

 

How is this anything but complete targeted exploitation of the very people this scam claims to serve, organized by some seriously privileged thieves. It’s all making sense now. Some small symbolic portion MIGHT eventually go to some community project, to throw off the scent, but the bulk of this is likely going to be a 2020 campaign contribution to Biden. Doesn’t it always come down to money and power? Shame on all involved in this deception.

 

If average people can put this together, it’s highly probable companies complicit in defrauding us, already know this information. I’m so thoroughly disgusted and disappointed by all of this. No person of any race should participate, especially if you value ALL lives as important.

Uh oh Andrew0 dont look now, but Judicial Watch picked up on the fraud trail:

The plot thickens!

Thank you Andrew0  for the article linking BLM to Thousand Currents

Others were able to pick up the money trail.

Love Tom Fitton and the work Judicial Watch does:

Along the way, it was revealed that the Thousand Currents vice chair of the board of directors is a woman named Susan Rosenberg.

 

Yes, she’s literally a terrorist who did 16 years for bombing a bunch of stuff.

 

Just click the donate button on Airbnb’s main page to sponsor domestic terrorism.

Wonder if that option will be included in project lighthouse?

Most recent FEC records for “actblue” distributions to:

“Black lives matter PAC”

Or “thousand currents”

Or “black lives matter llc”

Or “black lives matter”

 

https://www.fec.gov/data/disbursements/?data_type=processed&committee_id=C00401224&recipient_name=C0...

 

Spoiler alert...if you don’t want to wait for the database to search for your query, the result is zero dollars to any of those mentioned above.

 

However, the recipient of BLM donations when you click donate (actblue) did make over 800,000 unique distributions to something called “stop republicans”.

Best to look at politics with a sense of humor.
