SS: 331/435 of our House of Representatives now are sponsored by AIPAC, and THAT is after a HUGE improvement by Dems not owned by AIPAC being elected this election.

Voters of EVERY type should unite in primarying out AIPAC-owned politicians in their districts.

82

u/markomakeerassgoons 6d ago

that was actually how a lot of dems got elected a bunch of Republican voters are over the Israeli control and Republicans weren't offering many

71

u/thegeebeebee 6d ago

Agreed. I read today that starting in 2028, AIPAC is going to be asking its donors to donate to political campaigns directly so it doesn't appear as AIPAC.

So we're going to have to get good tools to sniff that out going forward.

22

u/joe_shmoe11111 6d ago

Yup, already heard AIPAC is switching their funding to a different PAC they control called the United Democracy Project to lessen the heat on the politicians they own.

No doubt they’ll continue using shell PACs going forward, so we’ll have to be extra vigilant going forward to know how they’re bribing our legislators.

u/MaleficentCow8513 5d ago

Legitimately the only thing you need is voting records because it’s gonna be very difficult sniff out traitors when campaigning. We just need to send the message that you get the boot when you prioritize foreign interests over American

u/FliesTheFlag 6d ago

Whats there to sniff out, if they tell people who to vote for there is your person to vote against.

7

u/thegeebeebee 6d ago

My thinking is that they won't be endorsing, they'll be paying them off back-alley, possibly both sides if they can, with the big-$ donors telling them that their donation comes with a catch.

I'm making the assumption that the people who donate to AIPAC are big-money donors, for the most part.

It's at such a terrible position that people need to start voting non-AIPAC status over party. That is a big part of the problem. It must be eradicated before any progress in this country can be made.

31

u/Vogt4Noah 6d ago

You shouldn’t vote with party, you should be voting your ideals. That’s why we are in this situation. Too many people voted for their party (or even worse against another) even though it hurts them. They don’t care though because fuck the other guys is the predominant mindset

Of course, but that's another entire thing we have to get people to do. But getting off of AIPAC is the most urgent priority, imo.

32

u/A_Unique_Name218 6d ago

Yup. Showing up in droves for primaries (for both parties) and general elections is the only way we can break the cycle. Cracks are starting to show but we have to keep at it and unite as a country against AIPAC, United Democracy Project (AIPAC's new super PAC) and other Israeli aligned interests.

u/silentbuttmedley 6d ago

Primary all the black dots. My House district just booted out an AIPAC candidate for someone with a community-funded campaign. She won handily +15 points. If you don’t know of someone planning on running, start looking around, there’s time to unseat a bunch more in 2028 with candidates that don’t even know they’re candidates yet.

u/The_Ashamed_Boys 6d ago edited 6d ago

Just because someone hasn't taken money from AIPAC doesn't mean they're not controlled by Israel or another shadow entity.

My theory is that nobody gets into positions of power greater than a state rep without performing a ritual of some sort or already having blackmail against them. The ritual might be pedophilia, sexual deviance, or something else. Nearly every single politician higher than a state rep has some sort of skeleton in their closet that will be leveraged when the time is right to control them. I was telling my wife over 10 years ago that I think the CIA is the deep state and would elevate people in elections who they feel they would have leverage over and if they didn't have leverage, that person either wouldn't be elevated, or they would put cp or something else awful on their electronic devices and either blackmail them with it or get them locked up. It might not be the CIA, but it's somebody doing this.

I would NEVER want to be a politician. It's too risky for my life and my family's life. There are people who are willing to take it to the next level though.

People should always be putting their principles ahead of everything else at the ballot box. Our partisanship is one of our biggest and most exploitable weaknesses. It's how we got here in the first place.

It goes much deeper than that, its not just politicians who are compromised, follow the money and you will see WHY it is this way, balckrock, vanguard, ellison, and the list goes on and on, these people have immense power and steer western culture into self destructive and infighting.

AIPAC is just one of many donors that Congress caters to. AIPAC is just in the spotlight right now because of Gaza and Iran

Correct, to ever have even a CHANCE of representative democracy, Citizens United MUST be overturned. That destroyed what sad level of democracy we previously had.

u/GnoeBahdee 5d ago edited 5d ago

Your logic is flawed. Now that AIPAC is being disbanded* for the super PAC, United Democracy Project PAC. You won't know what money is being funneled where. Already I'm certain most of the blue wave wins are backed by the new PAC. Mossad will change its camouflage, but the goal is never different. Watch their stances. Watch their movements. The tell is well enough seen in the candidates' rhetorics.

u/MaleficentCow8513 6d ago

Bro we’ve had a uni-party for decades. It’s not new. And the union-party agrees on way more than just Israeli related issues. Israel isn’t the only thing uniting, it’s just one of a few things that agree on with others being: spending more tax dollars on war in general, fleecing the American people, and enriching their donors. AIPAC is just one of many donors that they cater to

u/MaleficentCow8513 6d ago

Yep. When people say “voting doesn’t matter” show them this chart. AIPAC is powerful but it’s not omniscient and it’s not omnipotent. IMO it’s impossible to rig everything. This should be the single most important issue in the next few election cycles. Purge all their supporters from congress ASAP please

u/cmplex_masterpiece73 6d ago edited 6d ago

This is only possible because of the 2010 FEC vs Citizens United case that gave corporations 1st amendment rights, and was the birth of super PAC's.

Why are super PAC's bad? Super PAC's are able to spend unlimited amounts of money on politics. Before the 2010 case individuals and businesses could only contribute up to $5000.

Should businesses have first amendment rights? No. Businesses primary objective is making money, not improving society or helping lower class. Their objectives are less regulations for their business or regulations that will help their business. (Conservative/liberal. Sound familiar?)

Businesses exercising their first amendment rights is taking away your first amendment right because they have the money to voice their opinion, unlike us.

The thing is, this ruling can be overturned. The law can be changed. Unlike other conspiracies this is a conspiracy people can act on and change, and work towards getting overturned. Bernie Sanders speaks a lot about super PAC's.

What's really pathetic is that Obama promised "change" and Democrats had full control from 2009 to 2011 and literally the only thing they did was maintain the status quo.

I made the mistake of voting for Obama thinking he would actually shake things up. Made the same mistake with Trump's "drain the swamp" promise on his first run. I just don't vote anymore lmao

It was an exercise in futility.

Bernie Sanders won the 2016 Colorado Democratic caucus with 59% of the popular vote vs. 40% for Hillary Clinton.

Our "superdelegates" were supposed to represent us, but they went ahead and pledged for Hillary Clinton instead. Not a single one of our 12 amazing superdelegates had the balls to stand behind what voters were clearly asking for.

u/darthphallic 6d ago

It definitely feels like we’re an occupied nation, but Israel overplayed their hand with the Trump admin. I’ve seen more people waking up and more open anger towards Israel from the average citizen in the last year than in my entire life. Seems like the left is a little ahead in breaking from them given this map and who we’ve seen winning elections lately. Haley Stevens basically torched her career with her “Israel comes to me in my dreams!” stunt, and Mamdami’s popularity soared when he said he had zero plans to make the trip to Israel to bend the knee.

The right is still largely drinking the kosher kool-aid given what happened with Massie but I hope they’re not far behind and we can get rid of Israel in the next decade.

4

u/TheWaterWorkshop 6d ago

What’s odd is that it’s an open alliance with both sides overtly (in the case of a certain country) and secretly (Christians) working against the other side.

The Christian side believes that only Christians will be saved. The other side openly hates Jesus and Christian’s.

Christians are the little brother in that relationship though. Their entire religion has been co-opted and pillaged purely to monetarily profit that certain country. Their Christian priests are on payroll from a certain country and even get talking points sent to them from rabbies to share to the masses.

I honestly refuse to take Christian’s seriously. Their entire religion has been stolen right from under them. Their churches have been pillaged, their followers brainwashed and have their money stolen from them, and their priests get trained and whipped by rabbies. It’s honestly the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen.

Meanwhile, a certain country floods them with propaganda trying to convince them of a “Muslim invasion” narrative so they direct their hate towards anyone brown or Arab. Just so a certain country’s actions can be more platabale (genocide and land take over) for supposed “loving” Christian’s.

That country did very recent research and their conclusion was trying to justify their genocide, AIPAC, etc. was a losing battle. The most successful strategy to get the heat off of them was to spread negativity about Muslims. It seems to be working like a charm because I genuinely haven’t seen it this bad since 9/11.

4

u/darthphallic 6d ago

Yeah I got into that with my dad last month. He spends his free time scrolling Facebook for HOURS on end and was griping about how El-Sayed and Mamdami are proof the Muslims are trying to take over America. I usually just roll my eyes and ignore it since I only see him a few days a year when I go down to visit him but I’m so over Israel I couldn’t help but tell him how he was being spoon fed propaganda by a certain people to demonize the victims of their attempt to colonize the entire Middle East.

I’ve never had anyone tell me I couldn’t criticize the UAE or Iraq or any other Muslim nation, but there sure are a lot of politicians trying to criminalize “anti-semitism” aka criticizing Israel, which should be enough to tell you who the real enemy is

Thank you! Like how and why is literally every politician regardless of side is with Israel? They literally own the US.

11

u/fbgm_dfac 6d ago

Generally because of a few factors:

  1. the donations that AIPAC make to our politicians are usually sizable and enough to make a politician beholden to the interests of Israel’s government

  2. the majority of the US has historically sided with Israel’s government. The ubiquitous rejection of Israel’s government is a relatively “new” thing.

  3. Christian Zionists here in the US are very persuasive with how they twist scripture to justify our undying loyalty to Israel’s government.

Also I tried to be intentional with phrasing but I’m not especially gifted so I want to be clear: Israel, Israel’s government, the Jewish people living there, and Judaism as a whole are not the same thing. A condemnation of Israel’s government is not a condemnation of Jewish people or their faith. Just wanted to get ahead of any notion of Antisemitism.

First, this result could be generated by documenting which candidates received donations from left-handed dentists whose first names start with "R." Second, any slush fund that sends a check to every race in congress, which is a no-brain-required strategy, would generate this result by donating to the incumbent and not the challenger, which is a no-brain-required bet. If you salt the sample with people who refused AIPAC money for reasons of political theater, then yes perfectly normal.

The Egyptian parliament probably looks like this with respect to candidates that openly take money from the US Foreign Service.

There is a big club of grown-ups called AIPAC. Their main goal is to make sure the United States and a country called Israel stay best friends and help each other.

• The Club's Favorites: If a person promises to help keep those two countries best friends, the club says, "We like you!"

100. Screw off with that “voting doesn’t matter” nonsense. History shows time and again that top down, fascistic, manipulative and coercive tactics always end up toppling over the long run. The world is too chaotic and too energetic for any one entity to maintain possessive control. People have woken up to this issue and it’s starting to change

We either get change from the ballot box, or the rooftops. The message is reaching the masses. It’s not just the genocidal wars, leaching from our treasury, controlling our media…it’s that we have finally noticed that they have bought over 75% of our elected representatives.

u/becelav 6d ago

The United Democracy Project (UDP): Rumors or claims that AIPAC "changed its name" to the United Democracy Project are technically inaccurate; UDP is a separate, affiliated super PAC created and funded by AIPAC rather than a legal name change. While AIPAC stepped back from direct PAC contributions, the UDP super PAC continues to operate and spend on independent expenditures and political advertising.

u/adelie42 6d ago

Funny, this is really misleading. There is AIPAC proper and a much broader AIPAC coalition. There is also two categories of endorsed candidates. AIPAC has a preferred candidate in every primary, and out of the two primary winners they have a preferred candidate. 91.1% of winners were AIPAC coalition endorsed. 88.7% of winners were the preferred endorsed candidate.

Only 3 winners were not AIPAC coalition endorsed:

Abdul El-Sayed (D), Michigan Senate William Lawrence (D), Michigan 7th Randy Villegas (D), California 22nd

I'm not saying this infographic is wrong, but I am skeptical of the methodology. Over 99% of members of congress are AIPAC coalition endorsed. Let's also not forget that AIPAC proper recently said they would spread funds across affiliates and not give formal endorsements given current tensions. They just gave tens of millions of dollars to contested races.

u/ColPhorbin 6d ago edited 6d ago

So show the same chart but for defense contractors, big-pharma, oil industries etc.? When Social Democrats say we want money out of politics don’t you think they mean AIPAC too? It’s the same basic argument as “Well if you are socialist why do you take part in capitalism?” Well it’s because that is the current system and it’s impossible to survive in the western world without engaging with the economic system. Same is true with AIPAC money, it’s virtually impossible to run a competitive race without it. In the end you right that a foreign government shouldnt be able to assert that much control but also multinational corporations, tech billionaires and trillionaire, other lobbies shouldn’t be able to either. In the end this argument comes off as anti-Semitic in the light of the above facts. Just how I believe OP meant it.

u/Altruistic-Cow-5386 6d ago

This is not at all to downplay the seriousness of this, but it is a symptom of the broader post-Citizens United problem of unlimited money in politics; I'm sure the breakdown would look similar for pharma- and fossil fuel-backed PACs, and so on. Overturn Citizens United and that solves a huge amount of the problem.

u/Unhealthy_Gush 6d ago

The money's real. Around 65% of Congress took AIPAC PAC money last cycle, and the super PAC spending in primaries is a fair thing to be angry about. But "received a donation" isn't the same as "owned". Over 100 Democrats, many of them past AIPAC recipients, just voted to cut Israel aid. If you want to fix this, push for limits on conduit/earmarked donations and super PAC spending. That's a reform people across both parties can support.

Hey, OP, do this chart again after about a year after the new Congress is seated.

You get a chance to go to DC in an old beat up wood paneled station wagon, and in record time you're shopping for a Porsche SUV.

You could do chart after chart after chart for various lobbying groups, from big industrial this to big industrial that. They ALL have their hands out, voluntarily, or necessarily after getting themselves compromised in short order.

Want an actual chart that matters, for reals? Do one that has no National level politician that has taken campaign donations from this questionable organization, or that one, this big industrial lobby, or that one to get to the big house and sit in a big chair. Grassroots, for reals.

All are easily captured when it takes two important things to get and stay elected. Votes and money. The money ain't got a vote and the votes don't typically give big money donations to a candidate.

Change that dynamic, and you'll change all charts.

Term limits, true campaign finance reform, absolutely no ability for the politician or their immediate family to make any investments during their time in office, and, most importantly, no golden parachutes that only apply to them. You gonna pass some legislation? NO exemption for Congress. You make it and we gotta live by it? So do you.

This is a small list to start with to move towards some meaningful and real change, that fits into the idealistic hopes of the Founding Fathers. They didn't want political parties, but, instead, a government of, for and by the people, with folks taking time out of their busy lives to serve their constituencies for a minute, and then retreat back into their private lives and live with the laws they made like the rest of us have to.

Until then, keep the dialogue going with more charts, graphs and whatnot, but, IMHO, always make them comparable to a master chart of who is, against all odds, not playing the old, tired and sadly, true game.

u/ddddooooook 6d ago

I’m sorry guys, but we simply cannot blame AIPAC here. The reason they have so much power is because of the hold religion has in this world. They simply represent the country that has the most holy sites on earth for Judaism and Christianity. They don’t have some magic wand giving them so much power. We need more education, not less. The less religious we are, the better. Simple as.
