CEO of Activist Group Reveals He Was Offered $20 Million to Provide Demonstrators for Anti-Trump Rallies
If you've ever wondered how the left manages to get people to show up at its protests, hold shiny, pre-printed signs, and scream out in supposed rage against all the things, but especially Donald Trump, we may have the answer for you: rent-a-crowd. It's just like Rent-a-Center, where you can, for a price, get all the items you need to temporarily furnish your home or office, but it instead involves people willing to show up, again at a price, to protest The Current Outrage.
Adam Swart, CEO of an activist group called Crowds on Demand, revealed in an interview on Tuesday that his organization, which helps provide bodies at protests and demonstrations, had been contacted by "interests aligned" with the upcoming "Good Trouble Lives On" protests to help out. According to Swart, he was offered a cool $20 million by these unnamed individuals or organizations to "organize huge demonstrations around the country."
What Are These People Thinking? Anti-BBB Protestors Occupy Capitol.
What exactly is "Good Trouble Lives On," you ask? Good question. The short answer is that it's the latest iteration of No Kings, the Women's March or any number of radical leftist protests that target President Trump and often end in violence. Think "fiery, but mostly peaceful." The longer answer is that there exists a web of dark money that funds these demonstrations, and all roads typically lead back to the Tides Foundation and George Soros.
"Good Trouble Lives On" takes its name from the late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), who apparently coined the term "good trouble" as "the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change." Here's what the group of very murky origins says they stand for:
A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
What they are protesting is anybody's guess. You have to show up to find out, I suppose. I'm putting my money on abortion, immigration raids, law enforcement, DOGE, and, of course, Donald Trump. Maybe with a little bit of gun control and Tesla smattered in for effect.
The group is planning nationwide protests on July 17, and that's where Crowds on Demand comes in. If Mr. Swart is to be believed, and there's no reason not to, hard-left organizers are busy trying to get warm bodies on the ground in order to swell the numbers at these events.
Crowds on Demand describes itself as "your home for impactful advocacy campaigns, demonstrations, PR stunts, crowds for hire and corporate events." Swart told NewsNation's Brian Entin Tuesday that his firm has "large network of people from every political perspective," and the people he works with are passionate about the campaigns and events. Swart also said the protestors can be paid "hundreds of dollars a day" for their time.
Could this guy just be spinning tales in order to get his name and brand out there? Sure. But, many Americans have wondered about the crowds, made up of folks seemingly with copious amounts of free time, that seem to pop up out of nowhere and just happen to have pre-printed signs. You'll recall that Tesla protest where all the demonstrators seemed to depart at the same time, almost as if the "quittin' time!" whistle from The Flintstones had gone off.
Back in the day, the left loved to accuse the Tea Party movement of being "astroturf," A/K/A, fake. Contrived. Phony. But that was just to deflect from the fact that they themselves have big money behind their gripe du jour. The tell is when the protestors are asked to explain why they are participating, and many fumble around for a response or simply spew out talking points. Scratch the surface too much and dollar signs start to appear.
In case you were wondering, Swart says he turned down the money "Good Trouble Lives On" offered because he thought the protests this week would be "ineffective" and "make us look bad."
