Apparently, the paid protestors are still going strong.

Someone on EP made a post this morning about a job interview. When I asked about it, he said that it was for a company called Grassroots Campaigns. You might have heard of them if you followed the "fake news" about protesters being paid to protest president-elect Trump.

I've got to say, I've never seen a company so awful and shamelessly un-American. The way they do business is by paying people minimum wage to protest for Planned Parenthood Federation of America, MoveOn, the Democratic National Committee, and other organizations. Many of these clients are funded by George Soros, the notorious terrorism funding, cop killing, globalist hedge fund manager. Those organizations pay this [b]for-profit[/b] company to have these fake crowds bunch up, turning their fat wallets into what appears to be a grassroots protest of something.

The irony is incredible, as [b]a mob of paid protesters is anything but grassroots[/b]! That won't stop naive and desperate people (read: college-aged or uneducated people) from working for them, though. This truly is a sad state of affairs for our political system.

There's a link to their wikipedia page. You can read for yourself how the Soros controlled super-PAC MoveOn funded their creation in 40+ cities in 2004.

How this nonsense is tolerated is beyond me.

I worked for one of those places in 2008, for half a day. It was really a scam. The people who worked there were, like me, desperate for a job, any job, and the politics didn't matter.

Like any organisation, campaign groups take donations and have full time staff to run things. These are still grass roots campaigns and volunteers for out weight people who are paid.

The best funded and the most hollow 'campaigns' are those that support some kind of corporate intetest. The Koch brothers have funded or created many such organisstions and some volunteer to support, though their reason d'etra is corporate interest and their model is top down. There is a UK think tank called the Taxpayer's Alliance and it has been given that name for the very purpose of trying to look grass roots, when in reality it is a corporate funded think tank created by Conservative politicians.

Left wing groups do have money but they are much less likely to be corporate entities because few turkey's would fund a campaign to make Christmas come early.

So are you againts all money in politics, or just people who fund things which you disagree with?
