Blind Items Revealed #3 - Anniversary Month

April 14, 2016

Early on in the nominating process, this organization which calls itself religious went all in on a candidate for President. This was their second attempt at trying to influence who becomes the next President. Just like in their first effort, their second was unsuccessful. Heck, it was a total bust. Despite basically paying for almost every expense through Super PACS and hard to track donations, the organization could not even get their candidate to register on the public's radar. To this day, even though it was this election cycle, you would be hard pressed to remember this man ran for President. And he was on the nationally televised debates too.

So, what to do? Instead of just propping up one candidate, the group has decided to go behind the scenes. It is what they do best. I don't think the candidate even has a clue they are doing what they are doing, but they are. First, they are funneling money into a Super PAC. Second, they are paying a tremendous amount of money to the person they first tried to install in office in the last cycle. She gets paid by the campaign already, but the organization is paying her hundreds of thousands of dollars each month so she can give her full-time efforts. They have also taken care of some recent family expenses. Not content to just have this person out there, they are also digging up dirt as only they can. Not on the candidates themselves, but the people who work for the campaign. Little stunts to get some organizing person in a state fired from their job. That sets back the whole process in that state. They also have talking heads who belong to their organization and they are giving talking points each day. This happens not only nationally, but also in local markets where the organization has members in the media. Spin things a little more towards their candidate. Ignore the others as much as you can. Tiny things that all add up. Coordinating all of this is a long time behind the scenes power guy who is the whip of the entire organization. Even the leader doesn't cross this guy. If you are just looking at one piece, you would never see it, but when you step back, you see it all working. Their whole purpose in all of this is to get more favorable legislation and tax breaks in the US, but to also get lower ranked appointees in the new government to get them recognized in other countries.
