Questionable Activities
Not every notable act by the organization involves extreme crimes, but many of it can be disturbing, unnerving or corrupt in it's own way without technically violating U.S. laws. Information from leaked emails and other sources reveals insights in to how the individuals and organizations think and operate, ranging from their views on religion and race (such as the antisemitism leveled at Bernie Sanders by the DNC) to their jarring two-faced view on politics. Corruption of policy or misuse of power can be just as devastating as crimes themselves, as the broad sweeping impact a policy might have has the potential to hurt millions and potentially the entire nation. A politician promising reform only to be against the very thing they supposedly stood for may not be breaking the law, but is still hurting people and betraying their constituents. A politician that promises welfare or economic reform for instance but instead squanders the money can leave millions without help or relief, and thus contributes to their struggle despite not overtly breaking any obvious law. Furthermore as politicians write laws they often can craft loopholes for their own use, but this doesn't make their acts less harmful to the populace at large. Similarly campaign finance donations from countries like Qatar, where slavery is still legal, can reveal a lot about their motivations or principles, or of course lack thereof. Who ultimately writes the paychecks for these organizations likely has tremendous sway over them, and thus we can infer based where they get their money from and policy decisions that benefit these organizations what will likely be the outcome of their actions in the future. With countries like Qatar or China bank-rolling the organization, we have to ask ourselves if we truly want these people in power, whether it's legal or not.

Other than the questionable nature of the financial backers, there is also an uneasy connection between the organization and the media. While the more obvious connections include x being the CEO of snapchat and various other members being a part or or in charge of major social media websites, less obvious involvements are their connections to the general media at large. Running stories that favor their candidates over their enemies or that negatively portray their opponents (such as attack ads against Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump), they can subtly influence the public at large, potentially enough to influence public elections. Approximately 93% of the media identifies as liberal, and with most of it headed and directed by the DNC, they have the power to largely control the public narrative, and thus the potential outcomes of elections or voting on public policy. What is supposed to be and portrayed as fair and unbiased news is instead propaganda for a very specific subset of democrats, designed specifically to promote their viewpoints and causes. While in some cases these acts have been criminal, in others they have not, such as falsely claiming that Donald Trump has been working with the Russians and knew about the DNC hack before hand. MSNBC ran a story falsely accusing Donald Trump of foreknowledge of the DNC hack, which despite being obviously false and easily correctable caused the stock market to drop by 10%, a move costing hundreds of billions, a move that was highly unethical and easily prevented if they merely had correctly posted the date as being april 14th instead of april 4th (something any major news organization should be able to easily do or fact-check), and yet despite the tremendous damage, does not face any repercussions legally. This had devastating impacts on the economy and the reputations of major political figures, and yet despite this they faced no serious criminal charges. Acts which are not illegal can often be more devastating than any single crime, and cause more problems to the Americans at large.

All one needs to ruin the U.S. economy and government is a handful of key positions in a few media companies, and these individuals are set on wielding this power with blunt brute force and a reckless abandon to the potential consequences to the nation. They operate with a heavy iron fist, with clear intent to do damage no matter how grave as long as it advances their petty and often self-serving agendas. As if influencing elections wasn't enough, they're willing to cut down anyone and anything in their path to gain power, even if it negatively effects millions of lives. The enormous power the media wields over our lives, from facebook to the news is being directed for a single cause, to achieve a single and highly specific left-wing cause, to the detriment of the rest of the nation. With control over the DNC they by extension have control over the media, and with nearly 90% of the media under their grasp from video games to movies to the news itself, they have control over virtually all public discourse. While not always illegal, at times the media encourages illegal activities, fomenting riots and acts of violence in favor of their cause, such as CNN running stories on how a violent terrorist organization like Anti-Fa was achieving "peace through violence", or stories by Huntington post which proclaimed that violence was just as good as any method to effect political change. When the media targets a person like Shiva Ayyaduri and calls them racist and a neo-nazi sympathizer, despite himself being an Indian mean who was speaking out against racism and the cast system in India he was born in to, they invite 10's of thousands of protesters to attack them, whether intentionally or not. The media wields the power to create an angry lynch mob to attack their enemies any time they please, and whether intentionally or not manage to create mobs that attack their opponents with reckless abandon, often with violent results. While the news organizations themselves may not be directly committing crimes they encourage it, and then point the angry writhing mob at their intended political targets, to tear them down outside the normal political system. The tactic is essentially very simple, load the gun, point it at the enemy, but let someone else pull the trigger, so you have plausible deniability in any attack. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the shooting of Republican politician x at a baseball came from an avid follower of X journalist, who habitually falsely accused many people of being nazis and the "alt-right". Or that the attackers of the Republican politician X was applauded by many in the media who painted the act as an act of self defense because they accused Republicans of trying to take away people's healthcare. When the media lies about people, in such egregious ways, they invite violence against them, and falsely accusing people of being nazis or fascists causes violent groups like those who called themselves anti-fascists to attack them, despite these people often being innocent. While the group does not commit these crimes themselves, they certainly point the gun at their victims, and merely lead the angry mob do the rest.
