“Who is Really Bankrolling Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain?”

@[email protected]“EXCLUSIVE: Byline Times investigates the figures behind the Elon Musk-backed far-right rival to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK”
[..]
“Little is known about Restore Britain’s funding. The far-right party, seen as a disrupter on Reform UK’s right flank, was only formally registered as a party in February, meaning further donations records will begin to appear in the coming months, should they cross the threshold for declaration.”

PressProgress’ Luke LeBrun brings us the deep dive into the Centurion Project’s app, modelled closely after an American app known as 10xVotes. As it turns out, 10xVotes is the creation of an American company, known as Voteatron, with ties to the US Republican Party. While the funding of Voteatron and the 10xVotes app is uncertain, these products and entities appear to be tied to the Dark Money and Dark Pattern systems that the Americans have built up over the years.
Names such as Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, Drew Born, and Drew Wierda, have affiliations that lead back to the American Heritage Foundation, and the notorious Project 2025, a planning document for modern American fascism. The article itself deserves a read, and I’ll include notable highlights below.
Remarkably, Parker makes claims to have essentially served as a foreign agent in the US elections as he noted in a Podcast that he was personally responsible for Trump’s election win in Michigan.

Remarkably, Parker makes claims to have essentially served as a foreign agent in the US elections as he noted in a Podcast that he was personally responsible for Trump’s election win in Michigan.
Neither Parker nor his lawyer, Chad Williamson, answered questions from PressProgress about the nature of the Centurion Project’s collaboration with 10xVotes. Parker, however, discussed the subject at length on a recent podcast.
“In my travels in the United States, I’ve met a lot of political organizers and I’ve talked to a lot of people, and I stumbled across this group out of Michigan called 10xVotes,” Parker told a podcast last month.
“I was massively impressed with what they’d done, and I wanted to bring that idea and that methodology to Alberta,” Parker explained. “For almost two years — it’ll be two years this fall — I’ve been working with them, talking with them, trying to build this out.”
“And the result is the Centurion Project.”
…
Drew Born, a Grand Rapids commercial real estate broker and the director of Voteatron, is a well-connected Republican activist who runs a group called Michigan Family Action and previously ran for chair of the Michigan GOP.
On social media, Born has promoted the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” plan, posted photos of himself at Turning Point USA galas at Mar-a-Lago and advocated the annexation of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
…
Huizenga and Hoekstra have a personal history, as well: Huizenga is an old donor to Hoekstra’s past congressional campaigns, and the two served as campaign chairs for Mitt Romney’s 2012 West Michigan leadership team. They also served as board members for the Netherland-America Foundation (Hoekstra was later appointed US ambassador to the Netherlands, where he was accused of foreign interference after hosting an event for a Dutch far-right political party).
…
10xVotes’ business model is somewhat murky. The app describes itself as a service provided for free in support of Michigan Republicans and does not charge its users subscription fees, yet it does not publicly solicit donations through its website or indicate who funds it.
“We raise our own money,” Lance Griffin, 10xVotes’ head of public affairs, explained in a presentation to one state GOP group last year. “We don’t ask for any donations, we’ve made this free and available to all of you, all the local county parties and the Michigan Republican party [to] access our website and our data.”
However it funds itself, the group appears to have significant funds at its disposal.
10xVotes was a corporate sponsor at the 2025 Michigan GOP convention (Hoekstra’s final event as party chair) and Parker claims the group spent another $50,000 sponsoring a VIP suite at a 2024 Tucker Carlson Live event in Grand Rapids.
According to Parker’s story, he was also personally responsible for persuading Tucker Carlson to endorse the 10xVotes app that night — and, in turn, perhaps also responsible for Trump’s election victory in Michigan.
“I used all of my political capital with Tucker to get them to endorse it on stage that night,” Parker told a podcast. “We tracked the results of that endorsement, that endorsement resulted in 86,000 people who were historically non-voters voting in that election … that’s almost the victory margin for Trump.”

An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the #crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists #MarcAndreessen & #BenHorowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each.
#OndoFinance, which has a partnership with the #Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to #MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

@bolts
How can we get out the message that America and Americans could be so much better off by doing exactly the opposite of anything the Heritage Foundation recommends?

@realTuckFrumper Mike Johnson no longer has his Confederacy (has been defeated), but is still on his own crusade against the Fourteenth (Reconstruction) Amendment, which Louisiana & the other ex-Confederate states had to ratify to regain representation in Congress.
SCOTUS's 1965 decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (use of contraceptives) was based on the Fourteenth Amendment.P.S.: Leonard Leo's protégé Johnson is either intellectually unable or unwilling to tell contraception from abortion.

@marcelias American Bar Association: Founded in 1878.
Federalist Society: Founded in 1982.
Federalist Society's ex-(vice) president Leonard Leo put 5 of 6 biased con-servative/illiberal majority justices on the bench.
Time to regulate & contain the partisan influence of Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society, for the sake of Americans' democracy, human & civil rights.#RuleOfLaw #DefendDemocracy #DefendTheConstitution #CleanSCOTUS #TermLimits #CodeOfConduct #SCOTUS_OIG #ExpandSCOTUS #InvestigateLeonardLeo #InvestigateFederalistSociety #InvestigateOpusDei #DarkMoney #Corruption #Bribery #JudicialInsurrection #SeparationOfPowers #SeparationOfChurchAndState

@waningestrogen @NewsDesk Thankfully Bob Menendez is not a Clarence Thomas, who seems to have always been thinking he were above the laws & divinely elevated above any ethical obligations!
For Bob Menendez there are defenses.

@marcelias Organizations, which can't win in free & fair elections take to criminal acts like voter suppression & election subversion.
If they're serially committing such fraudulent acts, they should be banned from the ballots on ground of conspiracy against rights.
State legislatures codifying injustice are providing hostile public disservice to the people, justice, the United States & their Constitution.#RuleOfLaw #DefendDemocracy #DefendTheConstitution #ReconstructionAmendments #VotingRights #HumanRights #CleanSCOTUS #InvestigateLeonardLeo #DarkMoney #MoneyLaundering #Insurrection #Overthrow #InvestigateFederalistSociety #InvestigateTheSix #JudicialInsurrection #ElectionSubversion #Corruption #Bribery

No wonder Clarence once ("jokingly") called Leonard "Richelieu" Leo the *third-most important man in the U.S.*.
The man most harmful to the American judiciary & Americans' human & civil rights."From those early discussions among Leo, Thomas and Crow would spring a billion-dollar force that has helped remake the judiciary and overturn longstanding legal precedents on abortion, affirmative action and many other issues. It funded legal scholars to devise theories to challenge liberal precedents, helped to elect state attorneys general willing to apply those theories and launched lavish campaigns for conservative judicial nominees who would cite those theories in their rulings from the bench."

A dark web of dark-money jugglers, benefitting from the Citizens United ruling they had their sticky fingers in to legalize their covert shady financial & manipulative operations.
[Ginni] "Thomas, wife of a sitting justice, in concert with [Leonard] Leo, was secretly building the sort of dark-money front group that would soon be greenlit by the court’s decision. That group would be funded by Harlan Crow, the billionaire who spent decades secretly enriching the same justice who would sit on the case and the same spouse who would benefit from the outcome of the case. And the dark-money group founded by Ginni Thomas would go on to advocate for cases argued before the court as her husband heard those cases."

@DeeGLloyd And you bet Clarence is not the least bit ashamed.
Or the other way round, as ashamed of it as he is of Ginny's support for the Jan 6 insurrection.

@skykiss Leonard Leo's six corrupt, biased & rebellious SCOTUS agents, working to scrap every SCOTUS precedent & ruling based on Reconstruction Amendments — especially the Fourteenth Amendment — like eg Roe v. Wade, Obergefell v. Hodges etc., are simply misplaced on the Supreme Court of the United States.
And they're exhibit A, that lifetime tenures for justices & judges do in no way guarantee judicial independence — which Leonard Leo, Catholic Knight of Malta, Federalist-Society-éminence grise & dark-$billions juggler , on top of it intentionally broke by putting 5 of the 6 majority justices on the bench, and surely not, because they are alleged to be angels of impartiality.https://churchandstate.org.uk/2022/11/leonard-leo-pushed-the-courts-right-now-hes-aiming-at-american-society/

@fawfulfan With their attacks on the Reconstruction Amendments, especially the Fourteenth Amendment, Leonard Leo's SCOTUS agents are doing the Confederacy's bidding, continuing, where Jan 6 ended.
They don't deserve to be on SCOTUS's bench.Roe v. Wade (abortion rights): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Griswold v. Connecticut (birth control): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Loving v. Virginia (freedom to marry, regardless of race): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
Lawrence v. Texas (intercourse between same-sex,partners): Decision based on the 14th Amendment
and more...
