In response to Sarah Palin's endorsement of candidate Donald Trump, an apoplectic Glenn Beck has announced his intent to rally with Ted Cruz in Waterloo Iowa.
However, the event itself is being organized by a pro-Cruz group 'Keep the Promise 1' (KtP1), a Super-pac originally started by billionaire hedge-funder Robert Mercer, who eventually turned over control of the Political Action Committee (PAC) to David Barton.
David Barton is Co-Chair for Glenn Beck's Mercury One charity, and the assembly of interests provides an opportunity to explain how all of these entities connect.
[GPH: Documents at link]
Billionaire Robert Mercer originally started KtP to promote candidate Ted Cruz. Eventually three pro-Cruz KtP enterprises were started but not before $500,000 was transferred to start up another Super-PAC for Carly Fiorina, "Carly for America" (CfA).
The Federal Election Commission sent an inquiry directed to Mercer's KtP, requesting an explanation of why a Pro-Cruz Super-PAC would be funding the start up of a Pro-Carly Super-PAC. -LINK-
The financial transfer remains a mystery, but common sense and a look at the timing of the transfer, would indicate this was a way for Robert Mercer to hedge his bets (no pun intended) in the event Fiorina gained more traction than Cruz. Mercer obviously wanted to have self-interested influence with both candidates.
The extraordinarily wealthy influence agent, Robert Mercer currently owes the IRS somewhere between $6 billion and $10 billion dollars. If he can help purchase a White House victory for either candidate, obviously the scales could be tipped in his favor.
However, as noted, not long after founding the political committee, Mercer turned over the Super-PAC to Glenn Beck's friend and business partner David Barton.
Barton (pictured right) now runs "KtP1" in addition to being Co-Chair for Beck's Mercury One charity.
But the Mercer influence didn't just stop with the KtP organization.
The billionaire also purchased a controlling stake in Breitbart.Com, who then began promoting a years' long poll of presidential candidates.
Unknown throughout most of 2015 – in the background for the poll data was actually a secondary Mercer enterprise, Cambridge Analytica.
Cambridge Analytica is a rather spooky enterprise consisting of a massive data-mining operation collecting the information of Breitbart.Com poll users. This data was then organized, packaged and used for social media micro-targeting and Ted Cruz campaign donation requests.
It is from the Cambridge Analytica data that millions of targeted GOP voters are inundated with Ted Cruz campaign donor requests.
In essence Robert Mercer used his financing to create a massive data set which targeted voters and then, in order to work around FEC limits on campaign finance rules, Mercer (via Cambridge Analytica) sells the data to the Ted Cruz campaign via KtP. See example FEC filing.

So is Mark Levin??? He endorsed Cruz and will be campaigning with him!!
Go listen to his radio show archive from today top of first hour. He states that he is “recently engaged” to a beautiful lady. His fiance’s son works for Cruz. So apparently at some point he was widowed or divorced...

Obviously, but if he was widowed, wouldn’t his regular fan club here know about it? They seem as surprised as everyone else by the news.
From the Washington Post:
Investigations
Trump swam in mob-infested waters in early years as an NYC developer
The companies included S&A Concrete , which supplied building material to the Trump Plaza on Manhattan’s East Side, court records show. S&A was owned by Anthony “Fat Tony†Salerno, boss of the Genovese crime family, and Paul Castellano, boss of the Gambino family. The men required that major multimillion-dollar construction projects obtain concrete through S&A at inflated prices, according to a federal indictment of Salerno and others.
Salerno eventually went to prison on federal racketeering, bid-rigging and other charges. His attorney, Roy Cohn, the former chief counsel to Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.), was one of the most politically connected men in Manhattan. He was also Trump’s friend and occasionally his attorney. Cohn was never charged over any dealings with the mob, but he was disbarred shortly before his death in 1986 for ethical and financial improprieties.
“The construction industry in New York City has learned to live comfortably with pervasive corruption and racketeering,†according to “Corruption and Racketeering in the New York City Construction Industry,†a 1990 report by the New York State Organized Crime Task Force. “Perhaps those with strong moral qualms were long ago driven from the industry; it would have been difficult for them to have survived. ‘One has to go along to get along.’ â€
James B. Jacobs, the report’s principal author, told The Post that Trump and other major developers at the time “had to adapt to that environment†or do business in
———snip-——
As his ambitions expanded in the 1970s and 1980s, Trump had to contend with New York’s Cosa Nostra in order to complete his projects. By the 1980s, crime families had a hand in all aspects of the contracting industry, including labor unions, government inspections, building supplies and trash carting.
Trump has been in bed with the New York crime families for decades.
Notice how big of a liar you are, that you don't include the quote which vindicates Trump. You are really pathetic.
NEW York Post
Donald Trump knew a man he named as a senior business adviser in 2010 had been convicted in a major Mafia-linked stock fraud scheme, according to Associated Press interviews and a review of court records.
Donald Trump himself named the man as his senior advisor knowing he had been convicted of mob linked stock fraud.
You don’t include most of the article which show Trump was doing business with not one, but two top flight notorious mob bosses in New York for concrete for his construction of his hotels.
And what does the article say? Trump did nothing illegal, and working in that line of business in New York, one can't help but to do business with politicos and businesses with ties to the mob.

I see Mark Levin’s face in there too. Is Levin in on this Goldline scam as well?

"In today's economic climate, I think everyone should consider owning tangible assets like gold. My choice for buying gold is Goldline." - Mark Levin
Wow! Thanks for that information. Levin is as scummy as I suspected.
Hence I use the term “establishment” to describe DC and the political parties. None are of clean hands, so I prefer to simply vote Trump because he is at least pro-American and not just pro-BigBucks. Even Trump has his issues but we can’t talk details of law until we can at least talk about America first.
‘It’s a strange situation with ‘open-borders Beck’ at the center of it .’
Beck is open-borders? Can you give me a link?
‘... the likes Glenn Beck and THREE billionaire [homosexuals] who are all for queer marriage, open borders, and legalization of Pot...’
I have trouble believing that. Can you offer a link?
You are joking, right ?
Bttt
I’ve been hearing that Beck is open-borders, but no links.
Hey, you know what?
Cruz is a patriot but his phony campaign style is not ready for the national stage.
Trump is ready as a campaigner and executive, but he’s making it clear he doesn’t need as much anti-establishment support.
So?
I’m unplugging emotionally and, just like you, to heck with offering actual research to anyone.
