Fundraising Madness

The fundraising platform GoFundMe is used by all kinds of groups and individuals.  Organizations affiliated with Black Lives Matter raised millions on the platform in 2020. 

Cities were burning, and people were being killed.  But all kinds of left-wing organizations raised money on GoFundMe during the turmoil. 

There are literally hundreds of "bail funds" raising money on GoFundMe to bail out criminals and left-wing activists who are arrested during demonstrations.

As we have reported, truckers are conducting a peaceful, non-violent demonstration against increasing authoritarianism in Canada.  People all over the world were inspired by their demonstration and donated $10 million through GoFundMe to sustain their efforts. 

But the Trudeau government pressured GoFundMe, and it didn't have to try very hard because like most social media platforms, GoFundMe is very left-wing. 

GoFundMe is now parroting the language of the left, saying that the Freedom Convoy "demonstration has become an occupation," and no longer meets their "terms of service."  All fundraising for the Freedom Convoy has been suspended. 

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and attorneys general of several states threatened legal action.  Now GoFundMe is refunding individual donors. 

Over the weekend, GiveSendGo, a Christian alternative to GoFundMe, raised more than $4.8 million for the Freedom Convoy.  And, of course, their servers were under heavy attack. 

The leftists that run our government and the leftists that run Big Tech, Big Media and other big institutions, like our colleges and universities, are working hand-in-hand to silence conservatives.  This is the definition of authoritarianism. 

Maybe you don't care about the Canadian truckers.  You should.  Do you care about the sanctity of life or other values issues?  These platforms are also censoring groups that promote conservative values. 

Do you care about religious liberty?  There are major law firms in Washington, D.C., and New York City that will not hire lawyers who defended traditional marriage.  They would rather defend Gitmo terrorists.  GoFundMe also shut down a legal defense fund for Kyle Rittenhouse.

In this age of "cancel culture" and "death by deplatforming," we are well on our way to a social credit score system where you are rewarded or punished based on your opinions and political activities.  It's already happening in communist China, and the totalitarian left in this country is all in on shutting down debate.
