Hollywood: “The ATM of the Democratic Party”

Barely a month ago, a veritable who’s who of Hollywood A-listers turned out for President Joe Biden. The event, organized by former DreamWorks Animation Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, drew George Clooney, Barbra Streisand and Julia Roberts.

Jimmy Kimmel moderated an interview with Biden and former President Barack Obama at the gathering in downtown Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater. Sheryl Lee Ralph sang and Jack Black entertained the star-studded crowd wearing a pair of American flag overalls.

The evening raised more than $30 million, the largest one-night campaign haul in Democratic history.

But behind the fawning praise and laughs, cracks began to appear in the public façade.

Some of the most powerful members of Hollywood, who had steadfastly supported the president, harbored some serious reservations about the 81-year-old’s mental acuity.

At times during the event, Biden’s answers meandered and Obama occasionally jumped in to redirect the conversation.

Then came Biden’s disastrous debate performance. And those very same industry stalwarts who had just feted Biden began saying he should not seek reelection.

“Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof, who attended the fundraiser, was one of the first to publicly call for Biden to step aside. “Biden has to go & the Dems need to wake up,” he wrote in a column for Deadline, adding that donors should withhold checks until he did so. Within days others followed suit. Netflix co-founder and major Democratic donor Reed Hastings also called on Biden to end his reelection bid.

The most damaging blow came a week later, when Clooney wrote a blistering Op-Ed for the New York Times, saying, “The Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

Clooney’s public excoriation proved to be a tipping point, creating a public relations disaster for the Biden campaign, said a confidant close to a senior Democratic leader who was not authorized to speak publicly. Soon others — including actor-filmmaker Rob Reiner — began airing similar sentiments, contributing to the pressure that culminated in the incumbent president’s extraordinary decision to drop out as the Democratic nominee.

The remarkable turn of events underlined the outsize role that Hollywood — long known as the “ATM of the Democratic Party” — plays in political campaigns and the money that fuels them.

“In the world of politics, money is what drives these things, and the fact that many in Hollywood closed up their checkbooks had a very big impact,” said Steve Caplan, adjunct instructor of public relations and advertising at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

Now, entertainment heavyweights are putting their money behind Vice President Kamala Harris’ White House campaign. Hastings contributed $7 million to a super PAC supporting Harris, the largest donation that he has made to a single candidate, said a person close to the Netflix co-founder who was not authorized to comment. The Information first reported the donation.

“We are all in for Kamala and have been since the moment she announced,” said Andy Spahn, a Los Angeles political consultant to media moguls such as Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg. “Tremendous excitement and energy here around Kamala’s candidacy. We are all in.”

Many of those who had blasted Biden and his advisors are now galvanized around Harris, whose husband, Doug Emhoff, is a prominent Los Angeles entertainment attorney.

As the praise and endorsements rolled in, so has the money.

Spahn, the political consultant, noted that Harris raised $81 million in the first 24 hours after Biden announced he would not seek reelection, a record-breaking haul. “More to come,” Spahn said.

Diller told The Times that he and his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, plan to give “the maximum” allowed under federal law to the new Democratic presidential nominee.

“I think it was inevitable,” he said of Biden stepping down, noting that his preferred Democratic candidate is Harris, calling her “qualified and competent.”

And Hollywood is gearing up for another glitzy star-studded fundraiser, likely to happen before the Democratic National Convention next month in Chicago, according to two individuals with knowledge of the event.

“The last 24 hours have been a lot of excitement — sign me up, where can I contribute, how do I get involved?” said Wendy Greuel, a former Los Angeles city controller who worked in President Bill Clinton’s administration and for the entertainment firm of DreamWorks SKG. “Whether it’s the entertainment industry, whether it’s activists, it has been a shot in the arm for people to engage or reengage.”

She added that Democrats were boosted by the fact a decision had been made and there is a goal to pursue.

“The sense of limbo was challenging,” Greuel said. “The excitement is we have a plan. We have a mission to defeat Donald Trump and we’re behind Vice President Kamala Harris for president of the United States. It’s a shot in the arm. People appreciate this is the pathway to have a Democratic nominee and everyone is rowing in the same direction.”

    To get a win for a Democratic Party ticket headed by cackling Kamala Harris, the number of votes that would need to be stolen, shifted from Trump to Harris, mailed in by illegal aliens, harvested from cemeteries, or simply created by the men behind the curtain at Dominion Voting Systems would need to exceed fifty million. In addition, the federal government and every state government would have to pass and enforce election-denial laws—essentially lèse-majesté statutes—that treated the accused in much the same way the Israelis treat infants in Gaza.

    Is this even conceivable?

    You bet! “Our Democracy” requires it. Especially if the VP on her ticket is a queer, a tranny, a black, a dot-head Indian, or a Jew.

    “A capitalist is someone who wants a free market economy.” (“Professor” Brandon Martinez) There is not much ingenuity in this truism. However, a market economy, if it is to be successful, is inevitable. The would-be capitalist Martinez still sees no contradiction in this. Either he really is too stupid to think, or he is delusionally pursuing his capitalism-communism complex for lack of anything else to do, as true capitalists prefer.

    He says that the Nazis made a pact with the Muslims. But his beloved capitalists also make pacts with Muslims (see the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, etc.). And his beloved Francescon Franco also made pacts with the Nazis. Where is the contradiction in that? Anyone can make pacts with anyone if it serves strategic goals.

    In truth, there is no such thing as pure capitalism. There are always mixed forms. Even in supposedly capitalist America, very few people are likely to identify as “capitalists” of their own accord. If everyone were capitalists, they would have to divide their wealth and prosperity among themselves in a socialist manner.

    This would deprive the capitalist system of its foundation and render it obsolete. The law of the constant circulating money supply states: money cannot disappear into nothingness, one person must take it from another (in excessive amounts). If I then print additional money, this is called inflation, i.e. a decline in the value of money.

    The capitalists are naturally interested in ensuring that this does not happen to an excessive extent, as this would also cause their own money to suddenly lose fiscal value. There must therefore be a controlling authority to monitor this process, otherwise what is known as anarchy will prevail. But anarchists are not famous for nationalism, which is even based on racial origin.

    It is almost impossible to know what this freak is actually getting at. In all likelihood, Mr. Martinez will debate this until the end of his miserable earthly existence without ever having earned any money or created anything productive that could be sold (even globally). Because that is too time-consuming and exhausting for him.

    As I just read, his chance of getting filthy rich with his own invention is also zero, because the era of inventors had its last representatives 100 years ago, whereas today inventions trigger innovation through group dynamic processes, also known as synergies.

    Brandy says, “if the ‘Natsocs’ believe socialism is bad (conversely, capitalism is good), then their devotion to Hitler makes no sense.” Hitler cannot be depicted in a left versus right coordinate system, because these are categories that were conceived in the “democratic” system and can only be applied to it.

    Of course, neither capitalism nor communism are “purely Jewish inventions”. But Jews know how to make the most skillful use of these systems, both of which are fundamentally antinatal. Whether they can even be accused of using this to their advantage is a purely moral question.

    Again Brandy quotes one of those “decent” articles that support his provincial world view. And which offer the same simplistic answers over and over again, peppered with Jewish “primary sources”. He doesn’t realize that he is a victim of his own thought carousel, one could also say that he is trapped in his own bubble whose boundaries he is unable to transcend.

    Basically, these are all fruitless, endless monologues by an (as yet untreated) autistic person. He tries to convince those who rightly make fun of him of the opposite with “hair-splitting scientific analyses”. It has a caricaturesque, clownish quality. Here you can experience this counter-evolutionary clinical picture in motion, so to speak.

    Of course, the archetypes of our society are “socialist”, at least in Germanic society. There were certainly tribal chieftains who, like the Frisians, became richer and richer in the end and eventually perished from corruption and degeneration, like the Romans and Greeks before them. But the village communities and tribal systems were not capitalist cultures of grubbers.

    The human mind is a phenomenon. This is where the real wars of modern times take place. The white race is a spiritualized race. This means that its questions never stop, but are always conquering new territory in order to eradicate the blind spots of ignorance.

    The mind is therefore both a map and a conquered territory. People behave in exactly the same way. A questioning of their previous truth causes them to defend with claws and teeth their “territory”, which they have fathomed out so far and considered safe.

    So you could certainly talk about a kind of proxy war, it’s about intellectual (and therefore ideological) air sovereignty. A dog also doesn’t like it when his beloved and familiar dog house is taken away from him. The dog can therefore understand when its master senses an intruder.

      An American commentator writes under an interesting YouTube video entitled “Fort Germanna”: “A lot of British had left for religious reasons to live in Germany during the time of Charles II, and many families were looking to return to some aspect of English life, so the German tradition persisted up until the Hessians of the American Revolution, and Moravian Protestant communities for a century after were integrating with the people that lived in the colonies to establish families. I had an ancestor from Germany with an English surname who fought for the colonialist against the British and I visited one of the earliest homes built in Tennessee that still resided in its original footprint, where he lived out his life (Nicholas Gibbs Historical Society in Corryton, Tennessee, near Knoxville.)”

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7_Jm5OzlEE

      But AI answers: “After reviewing the available information and search results, I find no evidence of significant emigration of Britons to Germany for religious reasons during the reign of Charles II. In fact, the search results show a different picture. There were religious tensions in England during Charles II’s reign, but these mainly led to internal conflict and action. Charles II tried to introduce religious toleration, especially for Catholics and Protestant dissenters, but this was rejected by the English Parliament. The religious conflicts of the time led to emigration to the American colonies rather than to Germany. The emigration of Britons to Germany for religious reasons in this specific period is not supported by the available sources. For a more accurate historical account of the religious situation in England during the reign of Charles II, it would be advisable to refer to specialized historical sources.”

      The poor Irish, endlessly flooded with third-worlders who are destroying their island. So it seems natural to look for one’s own roots. It’s peculiar that these friendly “do-gooders” are talking about “racial characteristics that distinguish Palatines from Irish”.

      Mrs. Moore says at the end of the session that she is glad that Irish kids now have Venezuelan and Pakistani playmates, because “foreign peoples have always immigrated to Ireland”. Whether this incomprehensible naivety and indoctrination will come to a good end can be counted on two fingers.

      “The Pennsylvania Germans were Enslavers!” At least that’s what a guy called Beidler with unmistakably Jewish facial features says, who claims to be an expert in researching Pennsylvania’s German heritage and has more or less established himself in the directorate. What an absurd generalization. He even claims to be a “very very very [sic!] distant cousin” of PA Governor Hiester. And then always this unbearable “ouw” (aka uh) every few seconds.

      As we have known for thousands of years, the Jewish “survival strategy” consists of finding the needle in the haystack in order to accuse the Goyim with hair-splitting pseudo-arguments inflated to gigantic proportions, i.e. to declare them “historically guilty”, to distract attention from themselves and their incomprehensible misdeeds and also, by means of moral blackmail, to milk the Goyim endlessly as a golden calf around which they dance, screaming, whining and self-pitying. Their stylistic device is skillful exaggeration.

      Presumably, the name of the eager, gloating nest-soiler is not Beidler but Badler https://forebears.io/surnames/badler. Two exchanged letters were enough to create a mimicry identity. Maybe he was hatched from a cuckoo’s egg because one of his parents made out with a Jew, or is an adopted foundling. https://linkmix.co/24887976 Perhaps he is not even aware of his actions and their effect, but are quasi genetically determined, because nobody says to him: “Do a genetic test, because you would pass as a Jew rather than an Aryan.”

      Let’s not even start with the inglorious (but carefully concealed) role of the Jews in the transatlantic slave trade, they were also extensively active as slave owners. Apart from the fact that just a handful of those slaves sold by their own African tribal lords to the Europeans made it to North America, namely just 380,000 out of a total of 10 million, and these “slaves” had it far better overall as butlers or cotton pickers than their relatives in black Africa, if only because of the hygiene, food and medical care.

      This whole genetic testing mania has its origins in America, but is mainly Jewish-dominated, with the largest of these genetic institutes in Jewish hands. Whether the results are trustworthy continues to be hotly debated. Nonetheless, many Americans, unwilling to accept their rootlessness any longer, do not rely on such mumbo-jumbo but search the European archives. As a result, they often have more knowledge about their family tree than the Europeans themselves, who only know their ancestors a few generations back. https://linkmix.co/24889494

      Btw., what is the narcissistic Shiksa Goddess actually doing?
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyJr0Ol8XqY

      She seems to have found a new community far away from the evil Nazi world, with people who like to numb themselves with mindless, infantile techno pounding and watch narcissists like her turn their loudspeakers on themselves to “dance” with themselves, and over whose equally mindless, infantile comments “Sinny Mac” pours out her little love hearts.

      What a humiliating realization for her faithful lapdog Kyle, whom she heartlessly chased away because to this day he believes psychopaths belong on a throne simply because they don’t have a penis. If it had at least been Irish folk, but that would have been too völkisch again.

      Crypto-lesbo Sinny now wants to use and enjoy her remaining fading harsh, rough and masculine “attractiveness” to suck out new unspent feminized soyboys and is looking for an economically promising business model.

      As a single mother of a son who is at her mercy, she now regularly attends feminist self-awareness courses and self-discovery trips (including Thai yoni massage) to “broaden her spiritual horizons”.

      For the first time, “baby dj” (self-designation) has made a quantum leap in her call-up figures, an indication that she is on the right path to success as a reformed and emancipated ex-neo-Nazi bride. Can she shake off her past and will her new community accept her “sincere remorse”, even if borderliners have no conscience?

        Feminists would say: “This guy is a very sneaky lying scoundrel. He’s trying to abuse women (‘our own white women’) for his racist purposes.” They even would not be wrong.

        But what is absolutely sickening and obviously unteachable about this self-proclaimed white knight is that his first subject is women. His second topic is: women. His third topic is: women. And so on and on.

        About his hundredth topic is men. White men are created exclusively to fulfill the expectations and needs of white women. It’s really disgusting, but he lays out his trail of slime for women to slip on and fall into his arms.

        If he thinks women are so worthy of protection and defense, why does his prey pattern match him dominating dominatrix? White men don’t have to be “good” and they don’t have to “prove” this to white women either.

        It is obvious that he wants to be a “good boy” because he is and remains a (spoiled) mama’s boy. He obviously still hasn’t understood anything about his own fate and has asked himself what is actually dysfunctional in him to perceive abusive psychopaths as attractive and desirable.

        As he remains an emotionally malnourished but materially spoiled mother’s son, nothing is further from his mind than sincere self-questioning. The women were chased away, he says, instead of saying: “I was chased away by a woman like a beaten, lousy dog. How could it even come to that?”

        He doesn’t understand the nature of womanhood at all, and believes that they will always be less anti-nationalist, anti-rational and anti-logical is the fault of white men who don’t “win them over”.

        He’s a disgusting Casanaova who crawls under a woman’s skirt to be cared for, a perpetual mama’s boy whose umbilical cord has never been cut. He has a mother complex.

        Men who have the power can afford to “treat women well” to a certain extent. But he has no power, so he has to ingratiate and ingratiate himself with them. This is the key to the white man’s success, so to speak.

        But there is one thing I have never understood: If his website supposedly has 300,000 views a month, why do at most 100 people watch his videos? He is said to have worked at Google. That’s as illogical as he is.
