Democratic Party power-player Steve Phillips is behind the rise of four potential far-left governors who have already won their primaries.
The San Francisco attorney is a mega-wealthy self-identified student of “Marx, Mao, and Lenin” directing huge resources into socialist and communist-led groups, with the goal of putting his personal far-left proteges into governor’s mansions in Maryland, Georgia, Florida, and Arizona.
Phillips and his partners in the highly secretive group Democracy Alliance hope that by electing far-left governors into four currently Republican-led states, the drive to impeach President Donald Trump and destroy his “Make America Great Again” agenda will be accelerated.
The key element of Phillips’s strategy is to push people of color into high office, which will then—so his theory goes—energize minority voters to come out in force.
While George Soros and Tom Steyer have gained notoriety for their dedication to pouring massive resources into far-left causes and candidates, Phillips has managed to escape the level of scrutiny someone of his stature deserves. Make no mistake, Phillips is a highly regarded and extremely influential force in the Democratic Party.
Who Is Steve Phillips?
Originally from Cleveland, Phillips was a student radical at Stanford University in the 1980s, active in the Black Student Union.
Phillips was a regular writer for Unity, the newspaper of the League of Revolutionary Struggle (LRS). The 3,000-member-strong Maoist organization was the largest pro-China group in the United States at the time. The LRS was highly secretive and ordered most members to publicly disavow the organization. The Stanford branch of LRS was led by professor Gordon H. Chang (not to be confused with the anti-communist author Gordon G. Chang), who is now a member of Beijing’s main U.S. “influence operation” known as the Committee of 100.

Okay, thanks for that tidbit.
Why hasn’t this goof shown up on any FReeper radar screens prior to this?
Hey Mega Rich Marxist/Maoist Democrat, move your a$$ to Venezuela!
The heck? Maryland is the most secure one of those for the GOP. Republican Larry Hogan is leading Democrat Ben Jealous by an average of over fourteen points. The betting markets have the GOP gubernatorial candidate in Maryland at an 80% chance of victory.
Good Lord, this bunch is even worse than I thought.
The Sandler clan made their fortune in part with Mom & Dad’s (dad-in-law of Steve Phillips) invention/popularization of the Option ARM... which their World Savings Bank pushed on subprime lenders.
Of course, Herb says it wasn’t his fault. Especially after pocketing a cool $2.6 *billion*.

Well, my wife was living in California when I met her. However, she now resides with me in Ohio.
Okay, thanks for that tidbit.

Possible reasons.
He seems to concentrate on State and Local races only, instead of National, State, and Local, like George Soros does.
He also doesn’t seem to concentrate on all of them, just the four listed right now.
He married into his money, unlike George Soros, who earned and created his.
He’s also something relatively new, an African-American Socialist - Communist, so we have little previous experience examining and commenting on the likes of him.
If guys like this take over they will make what happened in Zimbabwe (fka Rhodesia) and is now beginning in South Africa common practice, and there is no doubt in my mind they have “camps” in mind for their victims.
Wow, I had no clue. That is great. So it look alike this rich Socialist will be like Bloomberg who supported all the anti gun people, and paid for the ballot measures against guns and in the process lost his shirt in the process.
Either trust fund baby, or started up a company and got the state to pass a law that mandates you buy the product.
Like solar energy and the stupid bicycle helmet law that enriched many liberal bossiness.
Never knew that. Good
Now that sucks. He should have appointed a string conservative to finish out McCain’s seat.
Kyle is OK, but he is not a true and through conservative
You are exactly right. Kyl is wimp as is Ducey. GOPe. And McSally too.
Sounds like a racist pig.
He’s been on mine. I’ve actually known him personally for over 30 years.
So it is OK with this Liberal that Mao murdered 70 Million Chinese - most of them innocent civilians? But Trump is a bad guy???
Whew! For a moment there, I might've thought FNC had truly flipped its wig.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
I think the cheating would have to be unprecedented for Jealous to win.
I think Kevin Kamanetz was expected to be the nominee and others like Jealous just ran to give the illusion of a primary race. Then Kamanetz goes and dies.
YES!!! Kamanetz’s death was quite the blow to the “Free State” Dems ... almost makes me cry. Still don’t think he’d actually have had a chance v. Hogan.
No. He wasn’t well liked and came off as a failed personal injury attorney who became a used car dealer
