U.S. Lawmakers Traded $355 MILLION of Stock in 2021, 23 Former U.S. Senators and Congressmen Who Now LOBBY for CCP Military and Intelligence-Linked Companies; Big-Money Democrat Pac Throws $50 MILLION Into Midterm BATTLEGROUND States, Dems ‘Dark Money’ ($1.5B) OUTSPENT GOP ($900M) By 66% in 2020

Lawmakers have disclosed their stock transactions for 2021 and it’s estimated that Congress raked in $355 million worth of stock trades, trading in the United States and overseas. The family members of lawmakers are also required to disclose their involvement with any stock trades.

According to Capitol Trades’ analysis of disclosures and Marketwatch, an estimated $180 million worth of stocks were bought by U.S lawmakers in 2021, while selling $175 million.

Republicans traded a larger dollar amount at $201 million, compared to the Democrats’ $154 million. Some are pushing for a ban on buying and selling of individual stocks by the House and the Senate.

According to Peter Schweizer’s book ‘Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win,’ it has been revealed that 23 former U.S. senators and congressmen have lobbied for companies who are linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) military or the intelligence community.

Ex-politicians often leave office and lobby for groups who want their agendas put forward, essentially becoming advocates for the highest bidders, in this case, the Communist Chinese.

The following politicians, all lobbied for Chinese companies, stopping legislation going through the House and Senate that would have prevented China from gaining a foothold economically in the U.S.

Democrats who lobbied for Chinese companies:

Rep. Albert Wynn (MD)
Sen. John Breaux (LA)
Rep. Bart Gordan (TN)
Sen. Joe Lieberman (CT)
Rep. Don Bonker (WA)
Rep. Toby Moffett (CT)
Rep. Rick Boucher (VA)
Sen. Barbara Boxer (CA)

BIG MONEY, BIG PLANS

Super PACs have started pumping money into Democrat campaigns, and Priorities USA, founded by two Obama aides, has announced they will be putting $50 million to help Democrats retain control of the government.

The PAC has set aside $30 million for digital ad campaigns in swing states, according to a report from Politico, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and New Hampshire.

$20 million of the funds will be put towards fighting election integrity in states who are passing legislation to prevent voter fraud.

Chairman of Priorities USA, Guy Cecil, said he worries about Biden’s low approval rating and how throwing money at the problem may be the solution.

“Over the last three months, we have been running some programs that specifically look at how we improve Biden’s favorability rating among those voters,” Cecil said. “A lot of these people just want to disengage with politics. They’re tired of it. It can’t be a typical ad where the primary focus is the candidate.”

George Soros has just pledged $125 million towards Democrat campaigns and told Politico that the money is to be used for “causes and candidates”, to strengthen the “infrastructure of American democracy: voting rights and civic participation, civil rights and liberties, and the rule of law.”

According to ABC News, the Democratic National Committee took in $157 million in 2021, raising $10.7 million in December alone.

CAPITOL HILL IS SWIMMING IN DARK MONEY

Democrats love to complain about “dark money”, but have benefited greatly from “dark money” to the tune of $1.5 billion, which was spent in the 2020 election. The Republicans spent around $900 million, according to the New York Times.

Breitbart reported that:

“Dark money” is money spent by groups outside campaigns and political parties that do not have to disclose their donors — either because they are organized as “social welfare” organizations under section 501(c)4 of the federal tax code, or as 501(c)3 charities receiving contributions from donor-advised funds that allow many donors to remain anonymous.

Democrats have claimed for years that Republicans are the primary beneficiaries of “dark money,” ever since the Supreme Court decided in the Citizens United case in 2011 that the Federal Elections Commission could not censor an anti-Hillary Clinton film before an election because people organized as corporations, no less than individuals, have free speech rights.

Clinton and almost every Democrat since has run on a pledge to revise the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the ability of corporations to spend on elections. Meanwhile, however, they have built a dominant “dark money” machine.

The reality is, those in Congress who have pledged to serve The People, don’t really care about The People at all. They serve themselves and have no morality when it comes to taking money, whether it’s “dark money” or not. They are all for sale, some are just cheaper than others.
