"‘Dark money’ group paying pro-Dem influencers up to $8K a month: report


A secretive dark money group tied to the Democratic Party is paying online influencers up to $8,000 a month to disseminate left-leaning talking points, according to a report.

The “Chorus Creator Incubator Program” is said to be funded by the “Sixteen Thirty Fund,” a nonprofit sometimes portrayed as the left’s answer to the Koch network and which has funneled money to dozens of Democratic-friendly influencers, according to WIRED magazine.

The names attached to the program span some of the most recognizable liberal voices online.


They include Olivia Julianna, the Gen Z activist who spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention; Loren Piretra, a former Playboy executive turned Occupy Democrats YouTuber; and Barrett Adair, the content creator who runs a viral American Girl Doll–themed meme account."

Democrats suck so bad, they have to pay people to talk nice about them. This is like the old joke about being so ugly the Dems need a pork chop tied around their neck to get a dog to play with them.

Well at least they are spending their own money instead of being able to use the USAID slush fund.

"Dark Money"?

Oh, you mean Soros.

One would think that a "secret" dark money group wouldn't register with the Federal government as a non-profit organization.

If the intent has been "secrecy" wouldn't they have not become a publically registered organization.

Like pretty much all current people under 30 years old nowadays, they have no clue what anything means, what a dictionary is, or how to even speak proper English.

Given the DNC's dismal approval rating its money well wasted if you support America and law abiding citizens. Quality control is clearly not a priority for these loons.

It's called Chorus, from Bill O'Reilly...

Jane Fonda is terrified. And she’s 87 years old. So, something must be done to soothe Jane, to make her last days as happy as possible.

The militant left actress believes that her freedom of speech is at risk because Colbert and Kimmel have been sanctioned. Jane thinks Trump is behind this and she could be next. Therefore, she’s leading a movement in Hollywood to “protect” freedom of expression.

At least she isn’t posing next to a communist anti-aircraft weapon this time around.

Because I advocate for senior citizens and children, I am going to give Jane Fonda some information about a REAL danger to freedom that she has no idea about.

There is a dark money internet organization called “Chorus.” According to reporting by Taylor Lorenz for the website Wired, Chorus is paying some far left “influencers” on the net $8,000 a month to dish progressive propaganda. But there’s a catch. In order to get the money, you have to sign a contract that says no one can know you’re on the take, and Chorus must approve whatever you write.

Ms. Lorenz goes on to write that a group called “The Sixteen Thirty Fund” is financing Chorus. That organization is based in Washington DC and conceals the names of its donors. Thus, the dark money label.

In 2020, Sixteen-Thirty reportedly spent more than $400 million to defeat President Trump and other Republicans around the country. That’s an enormous amount of political money, maybe record-breaking for one organization. George Soros’ Open Society group has been mentioned as a donor, but I can’t confirm that.

The Justice Department needs to rigorously investigate this whole rotten thing. Obviously, expression and speech are not free if bribes are involved. Chorus, founded just last year shortly after Trump’s election, says it “educates” Americans on policy issues.

Sure, and I’m Jane Fonda.

Ms. Jane has no blankin’ idea what’s going on in this country. She lives in a leftist bubble and, like many in show biz, believes the liberal echo chamber because that’s all she wants to hear.

The truth is that freedom of speech is being undermined by a corporate media that largely excludes non-liberal voices, as well as a social media world where bribes, deceit and treachery run rampant.

So, I am informing Jane Fonda that even though her speech rights are not directly threatened, there is indeed an anti-Constitutional menace afoot.

Colbert and Kimmel are the least of our problems.

Is it Free Speech if you pay people to say it and pay billions to repeat it forever.

No, some speech is warfare, the constitution does not protect weaponized speech
