July 12, 2024: Democratic Party strangling itself': Rage at donors 'bribing politicians' to oust Biden
"....Never-Trumpers were rattled Thursday amid a report that a group of Democratic donors pledged millions to lawmakers who've defected or criticized President Joe Biden. A group of 30 donors in New York — including crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz, Hollywood filmmaker Andrew Jarecki, and donor and operative Gideon Stein — have pledged $2 million to a House Democrat Super PAC to support Democrats who criticized Biden, Jake Sherman reported for Punchbowl News...."
July 13, 2024: Wanna-be oligarchs. Silicon Valley and Crypto bros are major players in this election.
Under the average voter radar is extreme influence peddling, lobbying of of the Silicon Valley and Crypto bros, one of which is Rep. Jim Himes, who told Biden to step down.
Citizens need to keep an eye on this!
They are part of the big money donors trying to turn Dems away from Biden in order to get Crypto deregulated. If they succeed, the consequences are completely unpredictable. They stand to take over banking, and replace the dollar as an international currency. Could also usher in collapse of currencies, and a wave of untraceable financial crime.
July 18, 2024: Some threads: Polling and the Crypto boys
The polling that is freaking out Nancy and Adam, is being conducted by BlueLabs Analytics https://bluelabs.com
- BlueLabs received funding from Sequoia Capital, a Silicon Valley venture tech firm that funds crypto start-ups. https://www.opensecrets.org/campaign-expenditures/vendor?vendor=BlueLabs+Analytics
(Rep. Jim) Himes was the first to start the un-nominate Biden ball rolling. He is a former Goldman Sachs banker, and advocate for the US central bank to adopt digital currency.

July 19, 2024: Fmr Rep Sean Patrick Maloney former chr of DCCC is now a big cryto bro & may be behind today's anti-Biden text messages
Sean Patrick Maloney, an adviser to Coinbase, is nominated as the U.S. representative to the OECD, which is building regulatory frameworks for crypto.
(snip)
On the same day that Biden publicly announced Maloney’s nomination last May, cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase announced their appointment of Maloney to their five-person “Global Advisory Council.” Less than a month later, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Coinbase with operating as an unregistered securities exchange
In other words, it's not Biden's age that these big donors have a problem with, it's his policies (increase taxes on the rich, regulate cryptocurrencies). They want him out, and replaced with someone more friendly to their interests.
