Another Licking The Red Off My Candy in following political campaigns.
I became aware of this in 2012 at the Iowa Caucus. Some of my blogger
friends were supporting different candidates and at a get together I asked them
how could you possibly support so an so all the research I have done shows his
creds don’t match what he says: Answer Yea we know but we are getting paid.
Thanks to the
candidacy of Donald Trump the financial intersection of money and political
opinion, as guided by the monetary motives therein, has brought some amazing
revelations to the surface.
These financial/media relationships have largely, and
historically, remained hidden. They have damned sure never been
publicly, clearly, and regularly stated so the consuming audience would
know the presentation was fraught with financial conflict.
♦ The Senate Conservatives Fund (PAC) purchasing massive
quantities ($400,000) of Mark
Levin’s books in exchange for favorable candidacy political opinion.
Conveniently Hidden by the radio host who avoids mentioning the financial
conflict created.
Then again, Levin never
informed his audience of his family working within the
Staff of Senator Ted Cruz either. Does Levin’s endorsement, when
contrast against the crony-constitutional advocacy, clarify with a little
sunlight? You decide.
♦ Or how about the Breitbart
Media enterprise being run via an $11 million
purchase from Billionaire
Robert Mercer, who also funded Ted
Cruz’s Super-PAC “Keep The Promise 1”, to the tune of $10 million. Little
overlooked facts, never openly shared for news consumers to determine source
motive. Pesky Sunlight
♦ Maybe the Ben Shapiro website
“The
Daily Wire“, being funded by the billionaire Wilks Brothers, Levi
and Farris, in Texas. Who also fund Ted Cruz and
his Super-PAC “Keep The Promise”. Shapiro never publicly disclosed the
financial/content conflict, or the extent therein. Could Shapiro support
any other candidate other than who his content owners approved of? Again,
you decide. (Yep, Pesky Sunlight)
♦ The Chairman of Glenn
Beck’s Mercury One charity, David Barton, jointly running the Pro-Ted
Cruz Super-PAC “Keep
The Promise”; also never put into the sunlight by Glenn Beck or his various
media enterprises so the consuming audience could filter presented political
opinion through the filter of fiduciary connections. More Pesky Sunlight
These are just a few of the politically motivated – financially
dependent – revelations we probably would never have known about were it not
for Donald Trump presenting a genuinely conservative America-First
platform; and as a direct consequence, the faux-constitutionalists having
to reverse opinion simply to retain income.
♦ So it perhaps shouldn’t come
as a surprise to find out that Erick Erickson’s media venture “The Resurgent“, is taking Super-PAC money from the
(formerly Scott Walker advocates and financial backers) Ricketts family of
Wisconsin who fund OUR PRINCIPLES PAC to the tune
of $3,000,000 in February alone.
