Today in Astroturf: Get Paid $200 to Protest Elon Musk & Tesla

You too can be reimbursed for up to$ 200, and all you have to do is protest Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk from the comfort of a Tesla dealership. It isn’t clear whether the present from the left-wing Indivisible Project covers the cost of spray paint, tips, or parole, but wealth is exchangeable — but wink-wink, nudge-nudge, friend. &nbsp,

” Indivisible Project can reimburse groups for eligible expenses associated with your Musk or Us actions, up to$ 200 per group, per congressional recess”! the team’s website reads, followed by a website to get the insurance form. &nbsp,

But here’s the kick. Since gaining cultural press attention, the site has been removed — curiouser and curiouser — but the shape is still online. I suspect the people who make their living this way, or at least like a nice edge job or three, are involved with various online parties where strong links to rebate forms can be shared. &nbsp,

That isn’t me being paranoid. That’s really me understanding how the web works. &nbsp,

Indivisible Project’s family business — more on that in a second — was founded and is run by the husband-wife squad of Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin. Greenberg is your typical NGO type — nice upbringing, good schools, brief Capitol Hill career ( with Tom Perriello]D-Va. ] and at State ). She followed up with the development of an online anti-Trump release called” Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda”, and the formation of the Indivisible Civics business.

While DataRepublican doesn’t show Indivisible Civics receiving any taxpayer money, it has received$ 5, 424, 005 from somewhere, with about half of those funds going to wages and salaries and another 10 % to benefits. &nbsp,

But here’s where it gets joy. The fine print statement at the bottom of the since-deleted login page reads,” Indivisible. com is a combined web of Indivisible Project and Indivisible Action. Indivisible Project is a registered 501 ( c ) ( 4 ). Irreducible Action is a Hybrid Polítical Action Committee. They are split companies”.

That’s legalese for” the parent organization ( Indivisible Civics aka Indivisible. org ) is legally and financially shielded from any stupid stuff people do with the money and encouragement of the new organization ( Indivisible Project )”. But again, wealth is exchangeable — but wink-wink, nudge-nudge, buddy. &nbsp,

Back in the ‘ 80s, we called that “plausible deniability”.

I haven’t been able to find something about where Undivided gets its revenue. What I did discover was The American Prospect’s Peter Dreier saying that Indivisible’s target is to” preserve American politics” and “resume the task of creating a humanitarian America that is more like social politics than commercial plutocracy”.

And the way to do that is by paying rhetoric protest with mysteriously sourced money to try and impede the will of the British people as expressed in the last election.

Do you know why the Tea Party had to be squelched out of life by the Obama IRS and the RINO creation? Because it was a fairly local movement against federal overreach. Any form of protest is to be permitted or actually celebrated — provided it enjoys the mandate of the Establishment or the NGO/Billionaire-class, assuming you can find a practical difference between the two.
