Liberal Stealth Groups Paved Obama Win

More than 4 million people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 did not vote this year. But by applying new voter science, Obama nudged enough replacements in key states — many who were rare or first-time voters — to give him his margin of victory (leveraged even larger by the Electoral College).

Years of stealthy multimillion-dollar efforts paid off forAmerica’s left in the 2008 and 2012 victories by President Barack Obama. Using new voter science to get rare and first-time voters to go to the polls, the races have changedAmerica’s electorate — those who make the country’s decisions by showing up and voting.

Aided by $5 million minimum from George Soros, plus millions more from others, at least two secretive institutions were created to enable this effort by focused research on behavioral science. Their results are made available only to liberals and their causes.

Those are findings from writer Sasha Issenberg. In an interview with me on my “Istook Live!” radio program, Issenberg put a special spotlight on the Analyst Institute (AI), which he has called “a firm quietly founded in 2007 by AFL-CIO officials and liberal allies.”

The AI has been quietly stacked with behavioral scientists, mostly PhDs or PhD candidates from Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale,Princeton, andDartmouth(with Notre Dame andUniversityofChicagothrown in for good measure). They coordinate with market researchers for various commercial products. AI materials brag that the Institute supports “a community of 400 data analysts and related professionals in collaborating and sharing their findings through monthly Analyst Group meetings and retreats.”

Issenberg’s book The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns details more history, as do his articles written for Salon.com.

Podhorzer began working from his laptop at his kitchen table, holding back-to-back Zoom meetings for hours a day with his network of contacts across the progressive universe: the labor movement; the institutional left, like Planned Parenthood and Greenpeace; resistance groups like Indivisible and MoveOn

Indivisible, partly funded by George Soros, was working with Iranian front groups in late 2019 and early 2020 to block Trump's ability to take military action against Iran. Supporting them in this effort was Dissenters, a group whose leadership was being trained by Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Ayers posted a blog on this citing his Chicom associate Mike Klonsky where he praised Ro Khanna, Barbara Lee, and Bernie Sanders staff member Warren Gunnels for their actions in support of Iran. Ayers and Klonsky and their associate Carl Davidson are all linked to the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, an offshoot of the original CP which held a meeting last summer on how to take over the Democratic Party through left-wing members of Congress and the Biden campaign.

Thanks for the excepts.

He told them to go to the Capitol and “fight like hell.”

No, that's a lie. The full quote:

Our brightest days are before us. Our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along had any idea how corrupt our elections were, and again most people would stand there at 9 o'clock in the evening and say I want to thank you very much, and they go off to some other life, but I said something is wrong here, something is really wrong, can't have happened and we fight, we fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore

He was obviously referring to the fight for election integrity and mainly that he needed to stick around and fight for that.

It looks like the old WUO gang has gotten together again. Damned! Carl Davidson - DSA leader; Mike Klonsky, Red Diaper Baby - father was a CPUSA member, Robert Klonsky; Bill Ayers - old SDSer; WUO founder and admitted terrorist - where is his hardcore commie wife, Bernadine Dohrn in all this? I doubt that she would want to miss the “action”.

Need more information on “Indivisible”.

MoveOn.org is still a Marxist, anti-American organization as is its spawn Media Matters. Soros influence and money all the way around.

The Republicans in the Senate really screwed up in not holding hearings into these groups and the guiding targets and concepts found in old hearings titles of “Interlocking Subversion”; book title, “The Web of Subversion” (James Burnham); Trevor Loudon’s books “The Enemies Within” (and then in Congress) and my contribution to titles, “Welcome to the Wonderful World of Subversion/Treason” (Disney - don’t bother to call me on this.

This is where we come in, “we brave, few souls”. By combining our knowledge and research, we are becoming a de facto FreeRepublic database repository of information on the Old Left, New Left, and now, the Marxist/Black Extremists/Anarchist Left.

Indivisible is a progressive movement in the United States initiated in 2016 as a reaction to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. The movement began with the online publication of a handbook written by Congressional staffers with suggestions for peacefully but effectively resisting the move to the right in the executive branch of the United States government under the Trump administration that was widely anticipated and feared by progressives.[1] According to Peter Dreier, the goal of Indivisible is to “save American democracy” and “resume the project of creating a humane America that is more like social democracy than corporate plutocracy.”[2]

In 2019, Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin were included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2019.

The movement started with the online publication of a 23-page handbook, Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.[4] The authors of the document, most notably Ezra Levin, Jeremy Haile, Leah Greenberg, and Angel Padilla,[4][5] were former Congressional staffers. Greenberg worked as an aide to Democratic Representative Tom Perriello of Virginia,[6] while Levin, Greenberg’s husband, worked as an aide to Lloyd Doggett, a Democratic Party member of the United States House of Representatives from Texas. After the 2016 presidential election, in mid-December 2016, Levin and Greenberg began working on an online guide in the form of a Google Document on how to make contact with congressional aides as a way of grieving over Trump’s victory. Angel Padilla, and Jeremy Haile, and dozens of other staffers for Democratic members of the United States Congress joined in the creation of the online publication.[6][7]

The authors modeled their document after the Tea Party movement, which focused on local activism and obstructing the Democratic Party’s agenda following the election of President Barack Obama in 2008.[8] They thought that similar action taken by the left could be effective against what they perceived as Trump’s “bigoted and anti-democratic agenda”.[9] The purpose of the guide was to encourage resistance to Trump’s presidency, most notably by targeting Republican elected members of Congress by attending town halls, calling congressional officials, visiting their offices, and showing up at public events.[10]

It was first published online on Google Docs on December 14, 2016, with Levin posting a link to it on his personal Twitter account. It soon went viral,[8] with, among others, Robert Reich, Jonathan Chait, George Takei and Miranda July circulating it online.[11]. . .

Since the guide’s publication, its authors have created a website with further resources on using the guide and organizing local movements. The guide is continuously updated and is available in English and Spanish.[4] By February 4, 2017, less than two months from the publication of the Indivisible Guide, and about two weeks after Trump’s inauguration, more than 3,800 local groups identifying as “Indivisibles” had formed and declared their support for the movement.[12] In February, they organized as a 501(c) organization.[6]

Many groups attended town halls,[13] demonstrated against nominees for Trump’s Cabinet, and worked with organizers of the Women’s March. John Kasich and Mo Brooks acknowledged that the protests would impact efforts to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[14][15] The movement was cited as a cause for the initial failure of Republicans to pass the American Health Care Act of 2017.[16]

In 2018, the group and its volunteers contributed money, endorsement and volunteer time to many House races, helping Democrats win back control of the chamber.[17] In 2019, the group endorsed a series of events aimed at supporting the impeachment of Donald Trump.[18]. . .
