It's good to see all of the usual idiots posting the usual fringe dribble about this topic.
My experience includes a number of phony dark money front groups bought and paid for with untraceable "donations" that includes phony corporate and law firm funded environmental groups, phony "bus rider" organizations taking in millions who oppose rail transit as too "white", it includes hundreds of phony ideological "tax exempt" "think tanks" both left and right, used to publish "their" purported "experts", who are just "too visionary" to participate in a truly open "peer review" process to assess their purported versions of the "truth".....
We have a world of dark money where big coal apparently funds anti-fracking groups, where right wing law firms write five and six figure checks to supposedly left wing groups to stage agitprop and act out in order to discredit that opposition, we have a political systems where the first question I've been asked, is who is secretly funding you, and will they give to us...…?
Welcome to the vastly expanded virtually unregulated world of tax exempt "front groups", bought and paid for by vastly increasing amounts of "dark money", to generate "buzz" for their agenda, to create an image, to spread disinformation and confusion, which is now being used to "launder" vast amounts of domestic and illegal foreign money, which can now be donated directly and indirectly to our political campaigns, without any of us ever knowing who is really "paying the bill" to influence what we seem to think we "know" and how we should "think" about it.
From these many truly idiotic and moronic responses, this seems to be working very well, in influencing so many of you...….
