The Tax-Code Shift That’s Changing Liberal Activism
- Nonprofit groups are re-structuring themselves to be political players.
- Before: section 501(c)(3) used for public charities to enjoy unique tax benefits
- Left is now questioning if a court-centric approach is capable of "social change"
- public charities don't translate into robust voter turnout
- key "resist Trump" groups switching to 501(c)(4) “social welfare” organizations
- "lobby candidates" & gray loopholes ok (not the "primary purpose")
- new model raises new challenges for government officials & nonprofit leaders
- more pressure on Congress and the IRS to police the flow of “dark money”

Seems like Ghislane lived a sort of double life. She seems to be a very charming, likable woman, who has gotten on the good side of many many powerful people. I guess it made it easier to hide her dark, twisted side. When accusations came out, the people who only know her good side will say “No way! That’s not the Ghislane I know! She would never do something like that!”

I'm trying to figure out where the JFK Jr fanclub thing fits into all of this as well.

1) Tweet #7 MOST CORRUPT election in history - DELTA = 00 00:08:05
2) POTUS: Excluding Illegal Aliens From ... Base Following the 2020 Census
3) CNN Conspiracy Theory - "Voter Fraud, Voter Fraud"
4) Violence spiking in major cities
Q4595 POST TIME DIFFERENCE may offer more clues:
19 Jul 2020 13:14:30 - 29 Jul 2019 12:14:03 = 50 WEEKS 1 hr 27 sec
July 19 = POTUS tweets = the pols are just fine with 50 DAYS of anarchy.
July 20 = POTUS tweets = If it were the other way around, 50 YEARS for treason.
QMAP has 14 posts with "50"
(50 individual, 50 yard line, 50% of map, 50% of voters...)
Q780 = US50-EIC - Dated Feb 17, 2018 (2/17 = 1:27)
- DHS concluded Russian attempts had no direct impact in 2016 outcome.
- DHS concluded other groups were successful in interfering in 2016 elections:
- millions of illegal, non-resident ballots ("irregularities") were counted
- legal ballots were improperly tabulated and/or intentionally mishandled
- (22) Sample counties, strongly suggest mandated countrywide investigation begin
Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity
- PEIC (or PACEI) = established by Trump & ran from May 11, 2017 to Jan 3, 2018
- review claims of voter fraud, improper registration, & voter suppression.
- On January 3, 2018, the commission was disbanded by Trump.
- WH blamed many states' refusal to turn over information as well as legal disputes.
- At that time, POTUS asked that the investigation be transferred to DHS
- DHS already holds much of the requested state voter data & oversees immigration records
DHS election unit has no plans for probing voter fraud: sources
- On Jan 6, 2018, DHS advises no immediate plans to probe fraud allegations
- Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, former co-chair of PEIC, not advising DHS
- Kobach told news... expects officials from ICE, within DHS, to continue the work
- NO LEAKS? - secret investigations going on since early 2018?
DHS uncovers massive voter fraud showing Trump won popular vote
- PLEASE NOTE: I can't find a direct link from this blog to a specific DHS report.
- Adding because it is #1 search, reads strangely & uses specific numbers.
- "Trump received 70,125,263 votes while Clinton only received 57,177,958"
- Source: "daily storm (25) - Julian Crawford" shows 15 of 16 blogs from 2 years ago.
- DHS could have been secretly collecting independent findings for 2 years.
- This info can now go back to review & compare with 2018 state voting records.
- Could uncooperative states still be trying to roadblock this effort?

The Anons have always had a major role in this.
Anons shine bright lights onto darkness.
What they also do is to bring evidence into the public domain.
That benefits We The People in that information is provided to them.
It also allows evidence to be presented to a court and when the collection of said evidence is questioned, the answer 'This evidence is in the public domain and has been for a few years' is hard for the defense team to battle against.

Have you ever watched Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex? While it might be an anime, it has many reflections to what we are seeing here today. I'm not sure if the anime was put out there to tell someone something, or if it's all just a story of circumstance, but either way this "Q" thing certainly has been exposing a ton of information.

I will respectfully disagree with you because of how the city has treated people in the past. I have never experienced a situation where a government agency has the authority to come to your house to conduct this type of testing. It may say voluntary but is it really. When one pushes back will there be some subtle retaliation? Does no really mean no?
As an example a neighbor was having trouble with the city about a tree on his property. It was impeding the sidewalk. He cut the branches so that should be it. Then they wanted him to remove and trim the trees in the adjacent walkway. He pushed back and said no because it was not on his property but city property. Then the harassment began.
Code enforcement showed up over trivia, city enforcers started measuring the distance of trees, fences from the street, was he parking his trucks correctly. On and on it went. He was not going to be intimidated. Things got quite ugly. Constant harassment. He offered to take ownership of the lane but said he would fence it off. You can see where this was going.
A truce has been called for now.
I do question the voluntary nature of this. I also feel that this is government over reach and a disrespect of boundaries.
Once we lose this they will have precedent and can enact this again when they feel the need. It is a slippery slope, the steady decline of rights. When the line is crossed the next line will be moved up. We see this over and over again.
I am personally very alarmed over this. Others may feel that it is fine and that is their opinion.
What if I have family over and we are enjoying an evening BBQ. Children playing in the pool, everyone relaxed. They arrive unannounced. Lots of problems with this.
Voluntary is where I chose to go to a testing center cooperating willingly regardless of if I have symptoms or have had the virus.
