DNC finally reveals it's list of corporate influence


Posted: Sep 28, 2016

Even the New Republic called the Democratic National Convention 'one big corporate bribe,’ as Trump-phobic donors threw in big money. Corporate interests and influences have gained a great deal of ground in the Democratic Party under Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. For example, Clinton’s 2008 campaign co-chair, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz rescinded a DNC ban enacted by Barack Obama in 2008 on donations from lobbyists and SuperPACS. The decision helped Clinton keep up with Bernie Sanders’ grassroots fundraising. The Democratic National Convention was as The New Republic’s David Dayen put it, “one big corporate bribe,” with corporations compensated for ignoring the Republican Convention out of fear of bad Donald Trump PR. As far as the elite establishment is concerned, the lines between Democrats and Republicans have blurred, with millionaires and billionaires of all political affiliations pouring donations into Clinton’s campaign. In 2014, public funding was pulled from both political parties’ conventions, opening the 2016 Democratic National Convention up to dubious donors shielded from transparency. Meanwhile, a 2014 budget law increased contribution limits to political convention committees. The DNC’s host committee refused to release the list of their donors funding the convention, even after a court order. On Monday, September 26, two months after the convention, the list of donors was finally filed with the FEC during the first presidential debate, in order to fly under the news coverage radar as much as possible. According to the filing report, some of the donors include George Soros’ son, Alexander, who gave $200,000; Priorities USA, a SuperPAC funded by George Soros, gave $1.5 million; Bank of America gave $1 million; Chevron gave $25,0000; Citigroup gave $100,000; Morgan Stanley gave $75,000; Wells Fargo gave $500,000; former Goldman Sachs CEO Donald Mullen who helped cause the 2008 economic recession gave $100,000; hedge fund investor and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s “corporate point-man” Michael J. Sacks donated $300,000. For a political party that nominated Clinton, who hilariously claims to be the champion of Wall Street reform, these prolific donations from the financial industry suggest otherwise. Blackstone Holdings gave $125,000 to the Democratic National Convention. According to International Business Times, just two months after the private equity firm settled with the SEC due to charges that they exploited monitoring fees to boost the firm at the expense of its investors, Blackstone Holdings president Tony James hosted a fundraiser for Clinton. When she was a senator, Clinton introduced the TCE Reduction Act of 2008 to regulate the chemical trichloroethylene, of which Dow Chemical was the largest domestic producer. Shortly after Dow Chemical became a sponsor of the Clinton Global Initiative, Clinton backed off the bill. Dow also donated $250,000 to the DNC this year. Independence Blue Cross, a health insurance company that has actively lobbied against a single-payer healthcare system, donated $1.525 million. Bennett S. Lebow, chairman of the board of the tobacco holding company the Vector Group, donated $100,000 to the convention. According to the Associated Press, a guest of Lebow’s with ties to the Russian mob attended a fundraiser for Bill Clinton in 1997. Facebook donated $1.45 million to the convention. Google donated $500,000. Twitter donated $250,000. These donations don’t help the case of these social media sites when they argue that they don’t censor content not in line with their political agenda. In April, several Bernie Sanders groups simultaneously disappeared, with Facebook attributing the shutdown to a glitch. The Democratic National Convention donor list — and the party’s obstruction of transparency in delaying its release even after they lost in court — further signals that the Democratic Party has been taken over by the corporations and wealthy influences that spend so lavishly on it.;

How strange that a company that knew they had such a huge upcoming liability would be among the most generous donors.

Even though I have "likes" on several political groups on there, and on different news sites, I have not gotten ANY info from them since Bernie was running...not even from the candidates from my state.

I also noticed that if I post something to share from the news media on my news feed, it's never seen by others.

Yet, SPAM hits all sites about "making money" and all from "Abdul Khan" and other ME names with links. I complain every time I see one because SPAM is supposed to be allowed. Nothing is ever done and where does that link really go? i'm not about to find out.

Now don't get me wrong. I believe a private company can and should be able to do what they want (unless I guess you own a bakery or pizza joint), but I see the irony.

I deleted my Facebook account because were are nothing but a product there and a manipulated and controlled one at that.

There are so many things about this thread that need "clarification".

First of all, the small donors were donating directly to their candidate, whether Bernie or Hillary.

These corporations were sponsoring the CONVENTION. You know, the Democratic National Convention, not the Democratic National Committee.

The big corporations pulled out their support from the Republican Convention because they had concerns about being associated with Trump and also the possible violence at the convention due to Cruz and Trump supporters, open-carry, etc. Also, I suspect they did not want to sponsor a convention where the big name act was Scott Baio.

Corporations see their sponsorships of conventions as advertising--note the Superbowl or any large sports stadiums.

When the Pubs could not come up with enough money, they went to their private rich guys, i.e. Sheldon Adelson. The Republicans have a Yuge amount of rich guys who are willing to sponsor Republicans -- Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Foster Frieze, etc.

Carry on.

(Tee hee, I always love the swarm of Republican posts that are posted almost all at the same time. Why not consolidate the post so we only have to click once? Since the times are posted right on the messages, I would think there would be no rule about commenting on this.)

Somebody sounds a wittle defensive. Tee hee, - DemocratPparty is the party of rich

WikiLeaks released the connection between the MSM, DNC - and corporate America

and this just confirms it.

America, for the most part, saw the debate for the farce it was. Lester Holt was nothing more than Hillary’s bodyguard in that debate. Hillary recited her answers like a third grader who memorized a poem or passage in a story and was now speaking in front of the class. Setup. She knew the questions ahead of time and knew she could count on Lester to protect her all night long.

The American people are telling Hillary and the media what frauds they are by taking Hillary’s “win” and turning it into a gain for Trump.

Whatever happened to that? LOL

It's a shame that most politicians are for something until they are up for re-election. Then they're for what the people are for...after the election, it's business as usual.

They are pumping Hillary full of cash. They want her to keep - printing funny money.
