But it is a contract. “Demand Protest LLC” - if it exists - may have opened themselves to liability for criminal acts as well as conspiracy.
Maybe the problem was with how I entered the info, but at online CA Sec. Of State "business portal" the search term produced '0' results.
On other CA Sec. of State pages I came across mention that LLC's were considered to be like sole proprietorship in NOT having to file with CA Sec. of State, but rather (like sole proprietor) could file in County of business residence.
If I'm getting that right, it could turn a 'name search' (looking for info of just who Demand Protest LLC really is) to having to dig around in fictitious business name filings in multiple counties. Possibly tedious work, that. By design, too, one could guess.
They appear to be deliberately making it hard to find out what is going on/who is "in charge" while they fish for candidates who have fellow traveler sympathies along with natural talent for focusing/refocusing efforts on-the-spot of active protests (fake stuff--- by which I mean deliberate staged provocations) who are also willing to not ask too many questions, wrapping that last within their promise to maintain the anonymity an "operative".
Just because there is allegedly a 'San Francisco' phone number listed on the web page, that may not equal that this Demand Protest LLC -- if such an entity does more formally exist, in a legal sense -- is in San Francisco County. It could be almost anywhere?
If they got caught doing something against laws, could we expect California Democrat-dominated state agencies to do ANYthing about it?
As it is, as long as there are no bills/wages paid by an entity of that name --- they can call their online presence most anything, and get away with that (I think) while paying bills & wages through some other legal entity.
They do want to hide their hand, that much is obvious, going by what is little there is written their own web pages.
Slick looking web page though, isn't it?
I rather doubt a bad internet joke is a criminal act.
