... for 'security services' in 2022, while sister of board member earned $1.1M for 'consulting'
* Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, a non-profit that grew out of the protest movement, is haemorrhaging cash, financial records show
* The group ran an $8.5 million deficit and saw the value of its investment accounts drop by nearly $10 million, with fundraising down 88% year-on-year
* Despite the financial woes, the organization still paid relatives of the founder and of a board member hundreds of thousands of dollars for services
Black Lives Matter's national organization is at risk of going bankrupt after its finances plunged $8.5 million into the red last year - while simultaneously handing multiple staff seven-figure salaries.
Financial disclosures obtained by The Washington Free Beacon show the perilous state of BLM's Global Network Foundation, which officially emerged in November 2020, as a more formal way of structuring the civil rights movement.
Yet despite the financial controversy and scrutiny, BLM GNF continued to hire relatives of the founder, Patrisse Cullors, and several board members.
Cullors' brother, Paul Cullors, set up two companies which were paid $1.6 million providing 'professional security services' for Black Lives Matter in 2022.
Paul Cullors was employed as the head of the security team at the $6 million Los Angeles mansion (pictured) bought with charity donations
Paul Cullors was also one of BLM's only two paid employees during the year, collecting a $126,000 salary as 'head of security' on top of his consulting fees. He is best known as a graffiti artist, with no background in security.
Patrisse Cullors defended hiring him, saying registered security firms which hired former police officers could not be trusted, given the movement's opposition to police brutality.

Pryor could get humor out of anything. Gifted. We miss him.
After hearing about Jim Brown’s passing, I had to play Pryor’s routine on Jim Brown, classic.
What do you mean I don’t have any more money? I still have checks in my checkbook!
They tried to do that with the Daniel Penny case a few weeks ago.
If you haven’t heard, Penny who is white, was on a subway when this black guy Jordan Neely who had 44 arrests under his belt, started threatening passengers.
So Penny who is a retired Marine, put Neely in a chokehold. For some reason though, Neely died. So now BLM, AOC, the eneMedia are trying to portray it as a case of racism, that Penny killed Neely because he’s racist which is absurd, and they want him charged with murder which the corrupt DA complied with and arrested him when it in fact he should be given a medal.
Spinks died around 2 years ago from cancer
A Penny acquittal (unlikely, IMO) could still provide impetus to riot. I don’t think the left wants rioting if it can harm then in 2024, though.
Too bad. May he rest in peace.
The BLM organization may be insolvent, but the board members aren’t. That’s ok, the IRS will all over them like white on rice.
Was ol’ Patrisse named after Patrisse Lumumba?
It’s a good bet..................
