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.

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.

Teddy is slimy and a FRAUD ! He associates with and is in thrall to the likes Glenn Beck and THREE billionaire QUEERS who are all for queer marriage, open borders, and legalization of Pot. And that's without mention of his BILDERBERG SOCIETY, Goldman-Sach, CitiBank, CFR connections.
I’m not on TWITTER nor FB, so I miss a LOT of this stuff. :-(
Levin is NUTS !
Levin is NUTS !
OH?
Then throw in all but one of THE FIVE, Beck, Levin,Rush, and a bunch of others who do nothing but constantly TRASH Trump !
I just checked Levin’s wiki page and NO mention of a divorce. What gives here?
EXACTLY and his many “masks” have begun to fall from him and he is being revealed as something he has tried to hide, for many years.
That’s what I want to know too!
If I were Cruz I’d leave Glenn alone, and if I were Trump I’d leave Hatch alone.
Hatch is just an old Rino Hack. Beck according to the article has some financial arrangement between his people and Mercer.
Levin not being up front of his connection getting a job for someone close to him at Cruz campaign, reminds me that Fox didn’t make George Will reveal his wife was working for Walker while on air George was very complementary about Walker.
And Levin has the nerve to say Crony Capitol ism all the freakin time. Levin is holier than thou, and explained away Cruz FEC reporting. Except Levin didn’t mention the unreported Citibank loan. I make no Judgement, its another thing Cruz has to explain.
Thanks for posting the article about the Beck, Cruz and Mercer connections.
I’ve memorized it and sent out a link to TCTH to EVERYONE I know. This info is NOT going to sit well with the two TEA PARTY newsletters I send news to.
There IS some kind of a law, that T.V. and radio people MUST admit such stuff, immediately, to their audiences. Mark didn’t. Ergo...he’s a POS.
I guess it is true, Levin divorced and is engaged to another:

I listen to Levin infrequently, but he always seemed to glowingly speak of his wife, daughter and son (and the family dogs). Divorce? New gf? Yoi!
These pathetic political hit pieces about absolute non-issues should be given zero credence. Especially on this forum.
But this crap is pretty much all I see anymore - on both sides. Trump started it but now everyone is piling on.
If crap like this influences you, you should not be allowed to vote.
There are two real issues:
Which is more consistently conservative - Trump or Cruz? Which has a better chance of winning the general?
The first answer is Cruz. The second answer is Trump.
If you can contribute to that conversation great. Otherwise go post on DU.
You need to get back on your meds or find your tinfoil hat. Is he the head of the Illuminati also?
I read another article on FR tonight that says Levin does NOT think it’s Trump-?
Has something happened to change that?
Beck’s employee, Dana Loesch, just appeared on Megyn Kelly’s program, and said she’s actually NOT a registered Republican.
Isn’t that one of the arguments ppl are making to criticize Trump, claiming he’s not even a ‘real’ Republican?
Seems like if you’re going to lecture and reprimand people for supporting a GOP (Republican!) candidaate, you’d one to be registered as a Republican, yourself...
Someone accused NRO of #”conservative privilige”. Shapiro is probably in that group.
Cruz has hidden a whole LOT about himself, from the populace, FOR YEARS! It's way past time that we get to know the facts and what's come out about him, lately, is all disgusting and contradicts his phony facade !
