The Black Lives Matter Scam
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation did not raise a single penny for the first six years of its existence. It couldn’t.
The foundation wasn’t even registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a charity. But after George Floyd’s murder in May of 2020, tens of millions of dollars were given to this organization from major corporations and celebrities. And now, no one even knows where all that money has gone. Even worse, there doesn’t appear to be anyone in charge of the organization who can provide that information.
Founded in 2013 after the death of Trayvon Martin, Black Lives Matter was little more than a hashtag and a website that loosely coordinated activism in communities across the country to “intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.”
For years, there did not appear to be a lot of outside resources directed to the organization. But that all changed in 2020.
Unable to accept the avalanche of money sent its way, BLM channeled donations through Thousand Currents and the Tides Foundation until the IRS approved its application for nonprofit status in December 2020. Around that time, Thousand Currents transferred $66.5 million to BLM — a transaction personally signed off on by BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors.
Cullors later issued the organization’s first-ever “impact report” in February 2021, claiming that the organization had raised over $90 million in 2020, spent $8.4 million on operating expenses, and given out $21.7 million to local BLM chapters and affiliated organizations. But these were just top-line numbers in a flashy communications product. No details were given on who was specifically paid what.
Just three months later, Cullors left BLM, claiming that she wanted to focus on other projects. She adamantly denied charges that she left the organization due to media reports that she had recently purchased millions of dollars’ worth of real estate for herself.
When Cullors left BLM, she announced that activists Makani Themba and Monifa Bandele would replace her as senior executives. But Themba and Bandele later released a statement that they “were not able to come to an agreement with the acting Leadership Council about our scope and work authority.”
Excuse me, I was kinda looking forward to the gunfight. You know, Black Lives Splatter.
Ummm, yes, sort of. The Clinton crime syndicate Did have some actual power, and became a sham after Killarney lost in 2016. BLM was always a sham and a joke. In both cases, everyone knew it, but the Clintons could give something.
BLM was always about continuing a race war that did not exist
Crime does pay, or so it would seem. If I had the inclination, it would be a perfect vehicle for amassing a fortune. So glad it happened to the woketards.
I wonder who made all that money selling BLM signs.
I really and truly don’t care what leftists do to each other.
Did I miss the reporting of the 3 day ongoing blockade of trucks at the montana-canuk border?
The corporations that threw all that feel good money at burn loot murder won’t even miss it. They got their warm fuzzy do gooder feelings from it and that’s that. Crimes were committed with that money but no one will ever be called to account.
All that money went for *cough* overhead and administration.
Any reputable organization should be able to account for every cent collected and spent. Be accountable for the actions of their organizers and the actions they promote among their members/ followers. These people are a bunch of smash and grab goons from top to bottom.
Weaponizing the inner city don’t come cheap!!!
Amazing how many people donate money. I suppose the idea of “kill me last” is a very powerful incentive.
