🚨🇺🇸 GPS DATA EXPOSES ASTROTURFING AT DENVER BERNIE-AOC RALLY

That massive Bernie Sanders and AOC rally in Denver? Turns out it wasn’t as “grassroots” as advertised.

Despite claims of 34,000 attendees, GPS data analysis reveals the real number was closer to 20,000—still big, but not record-breaking.

More revealing? A whopping 84% of those devices had shown up at nine or more other protests, including Antifa/BLM events, pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and Kamala Harris campaign stops.

Over 30% had attended twenty or more.

Data analysts say the crowd was anything but organic—the majority were tied to activist networks like Disruption Project, Indivisible, Democratic Socialists of America, Rise & Resist, and Troublemakers—all reportedly funded by ActBlue and some receiving backing via USAID.

Optics over authenticity. The playbook hasn’t changed—just the targets.

You mean the crowds weren’t digitally populated with bizarre AI images?

How did zerohedge get the data?

Any chance they’re reporting this income on their tax returns? Any chance they’re actually FILING a tax return?

And the MSM is doing the best they can to bury the story.

It does occur to me that the same activists might just be ones with money time and inclination to go. You might find “me” ( my phone) in a similar way at local recall events, Republican events etc and no one is paying me.

I don’t deny astroturfing - we’ve all seen the ads for crisis actors- but I doubt all of them are

....

Tony Seruga is listed under this, so probably all from him..

It is their job. they have to show up to get paid.


Yup. One of the things that was left out was that most of these same people attend Democrat “grassroots” events all over the country. These people are spending tens of thousands of dollars each on travel costs to attend these events.

Recall they had to open the subway turnstiles because of the volume of people?

My contact (who was at the time) the State Dept liaison and chief protocol officer for an embassy in DC told me the city didn’t have to do that even on July 4 when there were over a million visitors.

And the bastards in the MSM lied all day long about our numbers. Still makes me livid after all this time.

Two sources - Tony Seruga ‘owns’ cell phone data which he uses to analyze crowds. I don’t know what ZeroHedge knows/has.

Where is all the money coming from allowing the same 20K people to travel all around our nation doing the leftist hootchy kootchy ?

Well, until very recently, our very own pockets.

Reasonable question - they seem to have spent/routed everything they snagged almost immediately.
