Although we cannot say for certain the names of the individuals or the amounts given, but we do know where the money to back Black Lives Matter and other black groups come from.  Last November, the Democratic Alliance, with such notable members as George Soros and Tom Steyer urged members to write checks to Black Lives Matter and other similar groups.  Not all members were receptive to the request because they are uneasy about the blocking of highways and the violence that has ensued.

One member who actually funded most of the cost of the Ferguson riots was George Soros, who funneled money supporting the rioting through his group, Open Society, that pumped $33 million into the movement.  You can read all about it by clicking on the following title:

BOMBSHELL: Tax Records Show George Soros Funded the Ferguson Riots, But The Amount He Spent is The Real Story!

From Politico:

And some major liberal donors are leery about funding a movement known for aggressive tactics ― particularly one that has shown a willingness to train its fire on Democrats, including presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

“Major donors are usually not as radical or confrontational as activists most in touch with the pain of oppression,” said Steve Phillips, a Democracy Alliance member and significant contributor to Democratic candidates and causes. He donated to a St. Louis nonprofit group called the Organization for Black Struggle that helped organize 2014 Black Lives Matter-related protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police killing of a black teenager named Michael Brown. And Phillips and his wife, Democracy Alliance board member Susan Sandler, are in discussions about funding other groups involved in the movement.

The movement needs cash to build a self-sustaining infrastructure, Phillips said, arguing “the progressive donor world should be adding zeroes to their contributions that support this transformative movement.” But he also acknowledged there’s a risk for recipient groups. “Tactics such as shutting down freeways and disrupting rallies can alienate major donors, and if that’s your primary source of support, then you’re at risk of being blocked from doing what you need to do.”

The Democratic Alliance was founded in 2005 by six billionaires including George Soros and Taco Bell heir Rob McKay.  All members are required to donate at least $200,000 to groups approved by DA, although members also can contribute freely to candidates and other non approved groups.  Approved groups include
the Center for American Progress think tank, the liberal attack dog Media Matters and the Democratic data firm Catalist.

Catalist may sound familiar to you.  That is because watchdogs have claimed that they illegally provide voter information to liberal politicians and groups:

A Democrat-aligned business founded by a longtime Clinton confidant is being accused of giving valuable voter lists to party committees and candidates, as part of a “scheme” that allegedly runs afoul of campaign finance law.

The charges were detailed in a new complaint filed by the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), a conservative watchdog group, on Wednesday. They implicate Catalist, LLC., a for-profit company that has provided customized voter data to hundreds of labor unions, Democratic committees and candidates — including the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns in 2008.

The complaint, filed to the Federal Election Commission, accused the group of effectively masquerading as a corporation while acting like a political action committee — in turn, skirting campaign finance laws that normally apply to PACs.

“Fundamentally, I would call [Catalist] a scheme to avoid campaign finance law,” FACT director Matthew Whitaker, a former U.S. attorney, told FoxNews.com.

The complaint accuses the group, whose investors include George Soros, of skirting laws that cover so-called “soft money” — donations from corporations, unions, and individuals used to influence elections — and coordination between independent groups like PACs and the parties and candidates they support.

If Trump is elected, he must go after groups like the DA and Catalist or the country is lost.
