Following the Money

"Follow the money," the character, "Deep Throat," said in the Watergate scandal movie, All the President's Men

Today, we need to heed the same directive to understand who financed the 1/6 Republican Fascist coup d'état and who is continuing to enable the seditionists one year later to overthrow the Constitutional government of the United States.

First, who are the 1/6 seditionists? 

This recent article outs, "More than 1,000 Americans in positions of public trust acted as accomplices in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn, the 2020 election result, participating in the violent insurrection at the US Capitol on 6 January or spreading the “big lie” that the vote count had been rigged."

Go here for the Insurrection Index, compiled by Public Wise, “along with its partner organizations, has built an accessible online database of individuals and organizations involved in the deadly riots and insurrection at our nation’s capitol on January 6, 2021.”

As for following the corporate money trail and outing the Republican Fascist enablers, that task is being completed by CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. CREW maintains this website.
