At what point does lobbying for a foreign country become something Americans should know more about under FARA?
Because what AIPAC did after one congressional vote deserves scrutiny. And we should be paying attention to the politicians who are ignoring this, because they too look like foreign agents.
On July 15, the House voted on Thomas Massie’s amendment to eliminate $3.3 billion in U.S. security assistance to Israel.
It failed 104–314
103 Democrats and Massie voted yes.
That made their sugar daddy, AIPAC mad. Because within days, AIPAC removed the donation links for 15 endorsed House Democrats who voted to cut the aid.
These weren't obscure backbenchers. The group included House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, the No. 2 House Democrat, along with lawmakers who had previously benefited from substantial pro-Israel political support.
One vote involving aid to Israel, and the fundraising buttons disappeared.
And AIPAC publicly made its position on that vote unmistakable, saying it was “disappointed” in the 103 Democrats who voted with Massie.
Until 2021, AIPAC had never directly donated to a federal candidate.
It created AIPAC PAC in late 2021 and launched its super PAC, United Democracy Project, for the 2022 cycle.
By 2026, those two political operations had already poured more than $104.3 MILLION into federal elections, with months still left before Election Day.
And look at what happened to the one Republican who voted for the amendment.
Thomas Massie.
AIPAC's super PAC had already spent millions opposing him in his Republican primary, which he lost in May.
Then Massie introduced H.R. 8809, the “Americans Insist on Political Agent Clarity Act.”
His bill would broaden FARA by establishing additional criteria for determining when U.S.-based organizations advancing foreign interests must register. It has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
And that brings me back to the question:
If an American lobbying organization can raise enormous sums for members of Congress, spend more than $100 million influencing federal elections, advocate intensely for U.S. policy benefiting Israel, and shut off fundraising access after lawmakers vote against aid to Israel, where should the legal line be?
AIPAC says its work strengthens the U.S.-Israel relationship and advances American national security. Its critics argue this level of electoral involvement demands greater foreign-influence transparency.
Congress now has an actual bill in front of it that would change that line.
Maybe Americans should start paying attention to where the line is drawn because it's clear that AIPAC is sending us a message that they are in control of our politicians.

There isn’t a Department of War propaganda campaign from the gates of hell that can undo what I am reading.
It’s over for Turning Point USA. The most damning part? They refused to participate in the independent review while publicly lying about what took place. They lied repeatedly and publicly.
I am thoroughly disgusted with Erika Kirk.
All of this information was at her fingertips and she attempted to be a helpless widow while allowing her employees to publicly lie.
Link coming soon.

TPUSA looks TERRIBLE. People I would not want to be right now (in no particular order): Maycee Crofts, Brian Harpole, Dan Flood.
Okay, actually, that's a pretty good order.
I will take you all through the report page by page.
This is the most damning document we have seen since. It confirms what I suspected all along. Everything about the planning was unnatural and it came straight from TPUSA Headquarters.
I am so angry.
I did a Follow the Money on Victor Marx. He calls himself an exorcist, says he was Charlie Kirk's "spiritual mentor," and is now running for governor of Colorado. What he looks like is a walking red flag who used his charity to benefit himself.
Highlights:
🚩 His charity paid him $429,518 in tax-free housing money for his house, then bought that same house from his family trust for $2.95 million. The county says it is worth $853,013. Federal law bars charities from overpaying insiders, that is Private Inurement. IRS may want to look into this because it looks like his charity paid more than 3x his home's value....
🚩 His trust lent the charity $1.36 million to buy his own house. Donor money now goes back to him as interest.
🚩 The charity put $300,000 of donor money into a board member's private company, lost all of it, and then put him on the payroll. Donations are supposed to fund the mission, not insiders' businesses. Looks like he got this playbook from TPUSA.
🚩 His charity reported a grant that actually went to a rifle manufacturer. That is a false statement on a federal tax return Marx signed.
🚩 Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10. Marx registered his campaign website five days later and launched three weeks after that. A state complaint says his campaign texted people who signed up for Kirk's memorial. If so, it looks like Kirk's memorial was geofenced by Faith by Works and Victor Marx is involved. Worth looking into....
🚩 The state already found his campaign took more than $83,000 in illegal over-limit donations. The limits exist so that no donor can buy a candidate.
🚩 A road contractor with $400 million in state contracts is paying for the super PAC behind him. As governor, he would appoint the people who hand out those contracts.
This man is as shady as they come. If he ran his charity like this, imagine what he would do with Colorado's money. Victor Marx isn't above the law.
@pweiser you're the AG, can you do something about this?
@TheBabylonBibi@RealCandaceO I hope they don’t relocate to Australia to take over government. Because we don’t have a defence force that will to do jack for the Zionist cause.
