🚨🇺🇸 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.

Thanks for the 990 reference. I know how to read these, but it will take some time to figure out how much they plausibly spent on these demonstrations and how the expense was classified. Probably, as a grant to several down the line organizations, who would list demonstration expenses as wages or such.
It does get tedious. You might prefer to scroll through the pages of listed investments to get a sense of where they put their money and where they don't. It does get interesting.
They used to hold Blackrock but a couple of years ago they divested, at least the publicly held Blackrock shares.
Let us assume 800 dollars for transportation, food, and lodging. Somebody wrote a check for around 20 million for this AstroTurf crowd.
