Don't follow the money. I did, and look where it led.
PACT, Inc. An NGO nobody's ever heard of.
I asked @MikeBenzCyber about it. Old CIA front.
Now it's showing up in @DataRepublican's Insurrection files.
In 2023 the USG paid it $375M to destroy democracy.
Funding chain: datarepublican.com/browse/?e…

I'm sure mail in ballots and computers in our elections are just fine. Pay no attention to the $6.3B the NorKs just stole.
The Binance heist was the single most predictable event in finance, and SEC Chair Paul Atkins personally arranged it. 17 months ago he dismissed, w/ prejudice, the SEC's own case against Binance, a case the agency was winning. Binance thanked him by name.

Only controversial if you suck at math.
Sadly, too many people suck at math.
Need @sircalebhammer for Congress to give them some tough financial love.
This is a controversial point I made at Hillsdale: all this tyranny rests on something that is not sustainable: infinitely expanding sovereign debt.
The Leviathan's time is limited. Either DOGE succeeds in slaying it, or it slays itself.
The question is what comes next.

Mysterious ways.
@DataRepublican told me I could use the Census Bureau to geolocate addresses. So I built that. Then she went and worked on her super secret DOGE-at-the-Pentagon job and went quiet. Then Nick Shirley. While she was quiet, I started ingesting the Medicaid and DOT data, and geolocating it. You can see the results here. grumpytechbro.com/fun/ I did the 990 addresses too.
The Chinese Progressive Association, the Center for Empowered Politics, and the CEP Education Fund share a building. From 2020 through 2022 they are the only three filers on one San Francisco pin. In 2023 and 2024 they move to Oakland together.
New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, Windward Fund, and the North Fund share one Washington pin. The names do not mention each other.
Different paperwork, same door. Legally different people. Yeah, right.
That is not even counting the nonprofit c3 with the political c4. That is just how the NGO world works, because a political c4 has to pay taxes, so you park the $ in the c3.
I wouldn't have built the Sankey that helped connect me with Data if my mom wasn't in the hospital. I wouldn't have had this much time obsessing on the geolocation if Data hadn't gotten sucked into the DoW. Now I have a big pile of geolocated orgs I'm using to chase down fraud.
Destiny. Mysterious ways.

In addition to Data's drop, I have my 990 database.
Teaching grok about sibling NGOs, and donor-advised funds this AM:
The parent on the return is the fund. From 2019 through 2024, three of those funds pay Mediators Foundation and the street shops:

• Schwab Charitable paid Mediators $625,500, States United Democracy Center about $3.3 million, Protect Democracy about $2.4 million, the CEP Education Fund about $1.1 million, and Issue One about $761,000.

I was all discouraged yesterday because I felt I'd found a fuse but not a smoking gun. This AM I found the effing, Chinese, but will need FBI/Treasury help to see. Well, time for breakfast. 990DB is available via HuggingFace details here:

Non aspie version: NYT Bestseller list is crooked AF.
Keep in mind, almost every book that makes it to the NYT bestsellers list has institutional backing & buyers. They have connections to libraries, they have direct dial to Apple/Walmart/etc to remove counterfeits, and so on.
@PassagePress has none of that advantage. That UNELECTED made the NYT bestsellers list anyway is a pure people's choice win. We'll muscle our way in, break the Big Five monopoly. Your support is needed!
