Who's paying the protesters?

[Solvedit]

So who's paying them?  It's not such a mysterious conspiracy, IMHO, but why isn't anyone looking for proof in order to out them?  

If you binge watch Youtube long enough, here and there a protester openly admits they are being paid.  They may say "this is my job" or they seem unusually well-funded and equipped for an unemployed person.

Many politicians are often dead set against ICE but if protesters are being paid, maybe politicians are being paid too.  Maybe the paying parties have found a way to pass the politicians some laundered cash.  Perhaps the very protesters who are being paid have to contribute a portion of their pay to anti-ICE politicians. 

The protesters clearly don't have anyone's best interests at heart but are selfishly plugging the moneyed patrons' interests in exchange for an easy job with short hours. 

IMHO it could be employers and people whose job it is to deal with the workforce.

There may be no proof to find, that would spoil the unchallenged official government narrative to point it out.

I watch protesters posting their own activities on youtube. Some people make a living on youtube.
1) I watch
2) Youtube adds advertising
3) Advertiser money goes to content creators

So it's a conspiracy made up of 1) Me, 2) advertisers, 3) Content creators, 4) Youtube.

Unfortunately, this particular RICO situation is completely protected by the 1st Amendment.

Aside from those trying to make Trump out to be the bad guy, there are also plenty of industries that rely on the cheap labor that illegals provide.

They don't necessarily need to pay protesters, all they need to do is pay online shills to incite the easily led.

Wonder why people would protest is freezing and sub zero temps.  Now I know.  Hope they get hazardous duty pay.  Maybe someone will sue over cold related injuries?

Every single MAGA should be treated like this. Every single one.



It's always this way. Whoever is paying to organize the ground troops also has their finger on the buttons of the Silicon Valley hate-machine.

First, allow me the space to virtue signal:
1) I never counter-protest. If protestors are protesting some current state of affairs, that's their right.
2) A counter-protester, to my mind, is in favor of the status quo. So they aren't protesting against something but rather protesting against protest.

That's why I have protested against up coming, preplanned, wars, but have never protested against Nazi and KKK demonstrations.

Having stated that, I will mention the background of Trump pardoned Jan 6 assaulter of police officers, Edward Jacob "Jake" Lang.

Was in prison for four years on an 11-count indictment, including assault charges for attacking officers with a baseball bat. He is running for U.S. Senate from Florida in the Republican primary to be held in August 2026. On October 22, 2025, he said that, as senator: "I would deputize the Proud Boys and the January 6 Patriots to bounty hunt illegal immigrants." He also said his "very first act as a US Senator" would be "to BAN ISLAM!!" On January 17, 2026, he led a pro-ICE march in Minneapolis, where he alleges he was stabbed and attacked by counterprotesters.

He's sort of ill-informed about the 1st Amendment if he thinks Congress can ban Islam. And I'm pretty sure that the Proud Boys, apart from those in prison for other felonies committed after Trump's pardons, are already working for ICE.

An outfit called Alliance for a Better Minnesota, affiliated with ProgressNow 501©(4), posted a message about Lang prior to his protest. 

The Truth About Conservative Influencer Jake Lang. Wednesday, January 14th, 2026

Jake Lang is a conservative influencer known for promoting and engaging in acts of political violence, and spreading anti-immigrant rhetoric and baseless conspiracy theories. 
 
This week, Lang is in Minnesota spreading dangerous rhetoric and tearing Minnesotans apart. Here is the truth about this deeply divisive influencer. 

Lang participated in the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. At the riot, he beat police officers with a shield and a bat, causing injuries that lasted for weeks. According to United States v. Edward Jacob Lang, Lang took a “leadership role” in the January 6 violence, “encouraging and exhorting others to commit violence…”

Jake Lang is in Minnesota to Terrorize our Community. 

It seems to me that if Trump had not pardoned this guy he would have been easily convicted of several felonies, and hence would have been safely housed in a Federal Prison still, rather than risking his health in cold Minnesota weather.

Jake is a scam artist grifter.
It doesn’t mean he should be beaten for just his speech.
The left wants war.
