Ten Years After 2016 Election, Money and Shadow Power Dominate

Ten Years After 2016 Election, Money and Shadow Power Dominate
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


“His wife Debbie [D-MI] ran to replace him in the 2014 election and won. She has since been re-elected five times…. She is running for re-election in 2026 and has no primary opponent.” 

Debbie Dingell is only 72 years old, making her a spring chicken in a Congress that features 92-year-old Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and a slew of senators and House members well into their 80s. There is every reason to believe she will carry the personal Dingell Dynasty over the centennial mark with ease before she leaves office.

Meanwhile, in Georgia, the gubernatorial general election is set, and it’s Big Personal Fortune vs. Big Soros. Multi-billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson “cannonballed into” the state’s Republican primary race in February, as one national news site put it, ready to spend his way to the nomination.

“He rose from being a virtually unknown contender to a frontrunner in the polls by spending $50 million of his own money to flood the airwaves, social media and mailboxes with ads – nearly double the amount of all the candidates in both primaries for governor combined, according to an AdImpact analysis,” Politico reported in April.

Jackson finished second to Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in May’s primary contest, leading to a June 16 runoff that he won after his overall personal spending topped the $100 million mark. “I’ll spend whatever it takes to win this race,” he vowed in an ad released in late May.

Selected By Soros

Jackson now faces former Atlanta Democrat Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in the general election. Bottoms can best be described as Kamala Harris East. Like Joe Biden’s vice president, Bottoms has long and enduring ties to notorious progressive globalist George Soros and his money machine. Also like Harris, she is a black female career politician who has been groomed for higher office. In fact, Bottoms was considered a strong candidate for the Biden VP nod that went to Harris.

As Liberty Nation News reported in 2020, Bottoms during her time as Atlanta mayor used her sizable urban platform to advocate for leftist “revolution” at two forums hosted by agents of Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

Bottoms explicitly stated that the inundation of migrants into America’s big cities is meant to promote revolution.

“As we spoke this morning there is a quote from one of my favorite writers Audre Lord that kept playing in my mind, and it was that revolution is not a one-time event. And I think of that often, especially in the work that we are doing throughout our various cities in ways that may seem to be small in scale but really are a part of a larger conversation and a larger revolution, if you will, as it relates to how we address our issues of immigration and migration,” she told a 2018 Concordia Summit panel hosted by Soros OSF executive Dr. Colleen Thouez.

Selected not elected is not a myth. Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is another Democrat who was tabbed for higher office years in advance. Gallego is listed as a 2013 “alumnus” of The Transatlantic Inclusion Leaders Network, a program created by the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Gallego was 34 years old at that time.

“TILN has grown to be an integral element of GMF Leadership Programs since it was first founded in 2012 as a cooperative effort of the GMF, the US Department of State, and the US Helsinki Commission,” the organization says of itself. Soros’s Open Society Foundations is directly cited as a supporter of the TILN program.

TILN openly states its dedication to the cause of globalism.

“In a globalized era when many countries continue to face challenges of racism, intolerance, and inequity, both the United States and Europe stand to benefit from a visionary new generation of leaders who are dedicated to the principles of open and inclusive institutions,” the program declares.

Here’s the vital part:

“The TILN network has more than 200 alumni advancing to higher office including the European Parliament and US Congress, among other roles,” GMF says of the program on its website.

Fast forward 11 years, and Gallego wins election to the United States Senate.

Sitting Senator and His Facebook Executive Wife

Lines are being blurred today on both sides of the political aisle. Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) is another Republican who tapped into his own vast personal fortune as a former hedge fund executive to pave his path to Washington. McCormick fell short in a GOP primary in 2022 during his first Senate run. Openly courted by current Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), McCormick ran unopposed for the GOP nomination in 2024 and won the general election.

In January his wife, connected Republican and big business insider Dina Powell McCormick, was hired as President and Vice Chairman of Meta, parent company of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg’s Big Tech goliath is all-in on AI, and Mrs. McCormick, a former Goldman Sachs exec, was reportedly hired specifically to boost the company’s influence in Washington and on Wall Street.

What does this mean for her husband? The potential conflicts of interest are palpable.

In April, the senator drew heat after CBS News aired a Sunday Morning segment on local opposition to plans to develop a massive AI data center in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. McCormick was featured as a champion of AI data centers in the state.

“When a community looks at the totality of the jobs, the tax revenue, the new roads, the libraries, the schools, the opportunities of jobs for their kids, I think these are pretty compelling,” McCormick told the broadcaster.

At no point did the CBS mention McCormick’s wife’s role at Meta. The senator’s office responded to criticism over the matter.

“Senator McCormick is proud of his wife and all that she has accomplished. As he has from day one, Senator McCormick will continue to comply with all US Senate ethics rules and honorably serve the great citizens of Pennsylvania,” a statement declared.

Some ten plus years after the heralded end of the Bush-Clinton era, the organic rise of American citizen servants into positions of political power seems as far away as ever.
