During an interview at National Public Radio (NPR) the Progressive Stier explained how 9-11 may have been a blessing in disguise for the growth of the government!
NPR:
Suddenly, the need for a competent federal work force became glaringly obvious. Now we have serious discussion on Capitol Hill about whether federal workers are necessary to ensure airline security. On TV news, bureaucrats are morphing into “these brave men and women.” People are coming out of the woodwork to inquire about federal service opportunities. This could be a defining moment for a generation, like when President Kennedy told Americans “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” or when the Reverend Martin Luther King told us about his dream and the government’s role in making it come true.
His ideas about the necessity of even more government workers to be hired due to the tragedy of September 11th failed to raise any eyebrows at the time, especially on the Progressive radio network that regularly calls for bigger government and more taxes. Both Stier and NPR are advocates for the growth of government and this was a prime example of just how distorted that goal can be.
The real damning information uncovered however leads us to the donor class of his company, Partnership for Public Service. According to InfluenceWatch, a conservative watchdog group that keeps a very close eye on Leftist organizations and traces the money to its many sources, Stier’s PPS is no different than an Open Society Foundation or MoveOn.org. In fact, they all have their roots leading to the very same tree. Ultimately, the money leads them to one large, dark money corporation: Arabella Advisors.
Partnership for Public Service gets much of their donor dollars from Democracy Fund (Democracy Alliance). While this has the same name (Democracy Fund) as the Pierre Omidyar group, they are in fact different organization. However, they both serve the same master. Democracy Fund (DA) serves as a sorter of monies from donors.
InfluenceWatch:
Because the Democracy Alliance “serves as a ‘pass through’ for donations to supported groups” there is no “public documentation revealing DA’s role in the fundraising process” As a result of this structure, “few contributions made to organizations through the Alliance are public.”
Prior to 2014 there was no full list of Democracy Alliance supported organizations or their fundraising goals. In 2014, documents revealed for the first time the Democracy Alliance’s full portfolio of supported organizations.
According to these documents, the Democracy Alliance hoped “to provide $39.3 million to 20 organizations,” which if successful would amount to “one out of every five dollars” in those groups’ cumulative $175 million budgets.
Reports indicated that the funds would “finance eleven ‘core functions’ carried out by the various organizations the DA supports.” The list of core functions ranged from “fighting the right” to “perfecting data and tools” to “supporting progressive candidates.”
Some of the 2014 Democracy Alliance Network funding recommendations include: (baseline funding target/stretch funding target):
America Votes ($3.5 million / $4 million)
Center for American Progress ($3.23 million / $5.5 million)
Center for Community Change ($2.2 million / $3 million)
Media Matters for America ($2.4 million / $3 million)
Organizing for Action ($600,000 / $1 million)
ProgressNow ($1.6 million / $1.9 million)
State Voices ($1.4 million / $2 million)
Women’s Equality Center ($1.5 million / $2 million)
The Alliance’s 2014 funding snapshot also revealed 21 groups that had received DA support over the past nine years. Among the organizations previously backed by the Alliance were the “Sierra Club, the pro-abortion EMILY’s List, and the hard-left Hispanic advocacy group La Raza [now UnidosUS].”
As can be seen, Stier’s company is heavily financed and therefore influenced by these groups and their millions on hand. Even more disturbing, however, is the fact that in 2017, they worked up a new map of success called “The Resistance Map!”
InfluenceWatch:
In late 2017, the Democracy Alliance distributed a chart it called the “Resistance Map” to its members, highlighting advocacy and agitation organizations it recommends for donations from Democracy Alliance members. The chart shows dozens of organizations divided into fifteen areas:
Organizing, Litigation, Rapid Response, Corporate and Government Ethics, Advocacy, Electoralizing the Groundswell, Political Bundling, Pressuring Elected Officials, Messaging/Media Monitoring, Protecting Direct Democracy, Backend Services, Innovation & Accelerators, Mass Mobilization, Storytelling, Volunteer Matching.
Under each of these 15 categories lie dozens of other far-Left Progressive organizations that are working feverishly to ensure that our liberties are slowly but surely eroded! The list is exhausting and some of the category titles, like electoralizing the groundswell, pressuring elected officials, media monitoring, and moss mobilization sound ominous without the accompanying knowledge of who exactly is involved. Even protecting direct democracy entails the idea of pushing ballot questions to the forefront because statistical evidence tells them that ballot questions tend to make popular ideas and policies that are unpopular…like gay marriage. It’s devious and it’s downright deceitful.
This is who Max Stier is involved with and these are the people being directed and funded by the George Soroses and the Arabella Advisors directly and indirectly through multiple dummy accounts and front organizations. It’s ACORN all over again!
The current push right now for Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) that is being pushed nationwide is another of these issues that hopes to overturn the constitutional Electoral College and install the Popular Vote. More on that subject here: Beware: The Progressive Ruse to Abolish the Electoral College Gains More Ground
Now we know why it is that Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh are the targets of Max Stier and the Resistance movement. The very fact that Kavanaugh represents a threat to the ideals and court cases near and dear to the hearts of the Progressives is enough to drive these people to the edge. Max Stier is very comfortable in this crowd.
A few years ago, FCW’s The Business of Federal Technology website published a small piece about Stier, in which they said that his philosophy of good government was this: Stir things up. Try something new.
Something new isn’t always something good, though, is it?
