Sunlighting Bill Kristol

Bill Kristol is an ardent anti-Trumper. Regarding what Trump had accomplished in the first 100 hours of President Trump's new term in office, he said: "Welcome to North Korea," alleging that this is a dictatorship and we will all suffer for it.

He pretends to be a Republican. "Kristol led the Project for the Republican Future, an organization that helped shape the strategy that produced the 1994 Republican congressional victory. From 1985 to 1993, Kristol served as chief of staff to Education Secretary William Bennett in the Reagan Administration and as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle in the George H. W. Bush administration."

So why does he hate President Trump so much?

He heads the non-profit Defending Democracy Together Institute. In 2023, it received over $10M in revenue. The graphic for this post shows a flow chart of payments all going to an entity with the EIN 831567380 - which is Bill Kristol's non-profit.

This payment flow was uncovered by the DOGE team when they inspected USAID.

At the top of the flow chart is an entity with the EIN 52-1943638. That is the non-profit Consortium For Elections And Political Process Strengthening.Their 2023 revenue was $165M.

If you go to their website, you see this image at the bottom of the page:

All very connected. All very corrupt. And it's all getting exposed.

Thank God for President Trump's commitment to transparency and for the work by Elon and his young crew to give it the sunlight it needs.

In a government that operates by the consent of the governed, no one can consent to what they cannot see. The money-laundering of your taxpayer dollars through endless organizations to people like Bill Kristol is over.

What was done in the dark is being exposed. Light is a good thing!

Ever flip a bright light on in a room full of cockroaches? Watch them scramble. I don’t want them to just run away. I want them put away permanently.

Great deeper dive! We continue to hear of this kind of revealing, and the stench of putrid corruption continues.
