Yes, BLM is a well-known front for ANTIFA. It's also a money funneling avenue for George Soros and the Liberal Elite so they can avoid taxes.
Quote:
Black Lives Matter cashes in with $100 million from liberal foundations
[...]
That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.
I wonder if something like that has happened with PPP loan money? A number of people in congress have gotten PPP funds and the law was written such that details can't be released. At least BLM is private money and not public money.King Leary said:
I don't think BLM is a scam but I do think lots of funds changed hands throughout the past month that could be lost or mismanaged. Simply due to the volume of donations which must have been significantly larger than what the organizations were used to.
For example a freedom fund in MN received 20M in donations, so far only 200k have been claimed. What happens to the rest?
You can bet on it. PPP definitely had some fraud committed.burnbarn said:I wonder if something like that has happened with PPP loan money?

Just about all black conservatives say it is a scam. Where has it been debunked?PackBacker07 said:
No. This has been debunked numerous times.
That's just like saying ANTIFA is peaceful.statefan91 said:

The OP posted a single tweet and that single tweet is easily debunked. Act Blue is a payment processing system, essentially. There is Republican version as well.

There are dozens of articles and easily obtained tweets from numerous outlets questioning where TF the BLM money is going including from left leaning groups . It most definitely is a scam.
You have hit the number one reason I am against expanding almost any government run program at this point. Prove to the public you can responsibly spend/distribute the current tax revenue and then I may consider voting to raise taxes. Until they reach that point, they can pound sand.Civilized said:Bas2020 said:

Hell, if extremely inefficient resource allocation makes a group a scam, our federal government would definitely qualify. Takes more than that to be a scam.

Ok? I'm not sure I can equate tweets questioning where money is going as a "scam." But, maybe we have different definitions of what the word scam means. Are Super PACs scams? Is the Wolfpack Club a scam? If you can't trace every cent given to an organization, is said organization a scam?

Yes, no, maybe so?!?? Hell, I don't know what to think or believe anymore. In a matter of 2 months, I don't know if cops lives matter and black lives don't. If black lives matter and cops lives don't. If all white people are racist or if none are. If black lives matter but unborn children's lives don't. If I'm supposed to support protesters or rioters or neither or both. Hell, half the time, I don't even know what I'm supposed to watch anymore.
See from 6:45 - 7:30 in this video for the statement:Quote:
A 2015 video clip has surfaced of an interview with Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors in which she assures her interviewer that the group has an underlying ideology, saying, "We're trained Marxists."
Responding to the interviewer's concern that the BLM movement might not have enough of a "clear ideological structure," Cullors responded by saying that she and another co-founder "in particular" are dedicated to the ideology of Communist leader Karl Marx:Quote:
"We actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular, we're trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super versed on ideological theories."
Glenn Beck is doing a special tomorrow night on his Blaze TV web site about who is funding most of this. Usually he carries his specials on youtube and facebook but not tomorrow night because they will cut it off. You can get a seven day free trial if you want to watch. Lots of good content on his site if you are a conservative. Now others(including some on these boards) will say it's conspiracy TV, but he will have the facts to back it up. He always says "do your own homework" but usually he is dead on accurate. Here is a link if you wish to watch the free trial. I think the special is at 9pm EDT but I will check and change if need be.WarrenPeace said:
Why doesn't Trump just go on TV with this kind of evidence and expose these people for who they are and what they're trying to do? State of the Union style speech with the receipts to prove it. So many good people think they're doing a good thing by following BLM but are being deceived by something sinister and evil.
Just lambs being led to the slaughter.
