Regarding the story yesterday, more information on Act Blue. There is more to this story and it’s bigger than what is being disclosed.
First, a little background: Decades ago, a law was passed called Gramm Leach Bliley. Among other things, it required identity and address verification for all online credit and debit card transactions in an effort to reduce card fraud. It’s the reason online shopping sites make you enter the billing name and address in addition to the shipping address.
This is not the three digit verification code on the back of the card. That is an additional optional check implemented by the card companies and online processors can voluntarily use it to reduce their card fraud losses.
The law *requires* the online payment processor to instantly cross check with the card issuer that the name and address of the cardholder match the card number. 100% of all card processing software has the compliance with this law imbedded in the software.
In order to not comply with this law, one would have to write special, non-compliant, proprietary software. Every transaction completed on that software is a violation of the law.
Years ago, I discovered that ActBlue had done this, testing it using my own card, a fake name, and a fake address, so the transaction could not have been processed legally. It processed.
I wrote a physical letter to Bob Barr as attorney general explaining what I found. He apparently threw the letter in the trash and did nothing about it. (I know he wouldn’t actually investigate, but he would have known who to pass it to and at the time, I didn’t know he was just as corrupt as all the others.)
So federal law enforcement has known about this for years.
Where did they get this idea, you might wonder? The Obama campaigns did the same thing. Both of them. I tested that as well. I used my card, the name Osama bin Laden, and the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth as the address and donated $2 to Obama. It processed the transaction like nothing was wrong.
Do you remember reading the media hype about how he got more small donors than any other candidate in history? That’s because FEC rules don’t make them disclose the names of small donors. He was also the first candidate who didn’t disclose the names of his small donors.
Other candidates are proud of that list because it shows grass roots support. His list of small donors was private.
So someone like Soros, with a big debit card balance, could have an employee use his personal debit card, make up any name (literally X Y Z worked) and address, and donate $225 per minute to the Obama campaign and it would have never been detected or reported to the FEC as a donation, other than aggregated with other small donors.
It’s the real reason Obama turned down the federal matching funds. He knew what was going on.
We don’t know, and never will, the scale of the election fraud, but we’re at least 15 years into it. Law enforcement has known about it and chosen to do nothing. We don’t actually have any law enforcement in this country.
This is amazing. THANK YOU for thinking of it, for doing it, for trying to report it, and for telling us about it. I hope Jeff knows some people who might want to look into it. I'm passing it along to someone whom I think knows some people, too.
Is there a crime also committed at state or local level when one does that? If so, it might be possible to report it to a state Attorney General or to a constitutional Sheriff for investigation and action.
[Updated to add: I just composed that email, copying Queen H's comments above, with a brief explanation as an introduction, but when I hit 'send,' it closed the email program. Again: closed. Tried to save as a draft: closed. Tried to save again: it was gone.]
That is so weird. I also tried to send to our local election integrity contact and my email kept shutting down when I hit send. I was using my iCloud account. I had to close it out and restart the app. I was finally able to send.
I was working on my iPad when my incident happened. I tried again this morning and it went through, but I think I rebooted some time yesterday as well.
Wow! Thanks for that easy to understand explanation. It explains why so much money was raised so quickly in so many campaigns. The drip, drip will eventually wear through….
What a genius investigative entity you are - I knew about this law because--back in the early 2000's when I first started my online business venture--there was "zero" protection for the merchant. I helped to get some of this legislation passed--I didn't even stop to think that politicos would stoop this low to get their campaigns financed by corruptors like Soros by circumventing the law which was meant to make "online shopping" more legitimate and protect the online merchants!
How DISGUSTING are these "people" who called themselves "fighters for democracy"--they truly HATE America and all we stand for. COMMIES/MARXISTS/INSURRECTIONISTS....whatever label you wish to call them--how can we EVER have a FAIR AND IMPARTIAL ELECTION again? I don't believe we ever will--those DAMNABLE DOMINION "hackable" voting "machines" will NEVER leave our country--or our world. Citizens just LOVE "techy" stuff--I am truly SICK OF TECH!! Bring back ORGANIC, REAL LIFE--not VIRTUAL LIFE! (I know...Jesus will usher in the REAL LIFE--but in the meantime...we who love Him..will be persecuted and suffer immeasurably....and so it is prophesied in the Book of Life). EVEN SO...COME, LORD JESUS!
Ahh channeling your inner Ted K, are you? He had some pungent things to say about technology and liberals and control. Oh, its true he saw things very clearly. He just didn't know what to do about it and thought blowing people up would stop or solve the problem. Which it didn't. Never does. The way to stop it is to flip the problem around and aim it back at the ones creating it or supporting it.
While it may be that ActBlue (and WinRed too) are not the ones actually processing these card transactions, it appears that whoever is violated federal law. I am involved with a grass roots group looking into this. As O'Keefe videos and our own pulls from FEC.gov are showing, many elderly people appear to be victims of a money laundering scheme. Please check with any elderly people you know who donate to political campaigns - you can look them up at fec.gov and double check the amounts and recipients are correct. If not, you probably want to contact your local sheriff (and probably O'Keefe).
And with this fraud, it wasn’t elderly people being fleeced, it was hiding the sources of funds and evading the reporting requirements and limits on donations.
The company accepting the payments is legally responsible. If they hired incompetent software designers, they are still the ones violating the law. But since all card processing software includes the compliance procedures, this has to be something they did on their own.
WOW!! Do you still have the records of this?? Maybe it’s something OMG or maybe one of the great attorneys who attended the conference last month could work with??
Everyone has to have known.It is right there in plain view.It is just bizarre to go in and see former classmates mothers' names or someone that you have pictures in your photo album..My guess is there must be some Repub also doing it but it has to be much,much less because there just are not many Republican donations showing up.I am also not sure if everyone they "used" necessarily made an original donation.Possibly they filled in with people off a party list.I would def. show it to everyone you know-before they feel the need to do maintenance on the site.
Wow! Thanks for this information Queen! This explains a lot, and I hope and pray this can be brought to the attention of the “right” person/people who will act on it.
It is weird Amazon can figure out how to cross-reference credit card holder names and physical addresses, but political campaigns just can't seem to understand that they are "unwilling" participants in fraud. I'm sure this could all be fixed if Congress could spend a billion $ on a study, done by ActBlue, of course.

Send it via snail mail, certified, Return Receipt Requested…
That is so weird. I also tried to send to our local election integrity contact and my email kept shutting down when I hit send. I was using my iCloud account. I had to close it out and restart the app. I was finally able to send.

What email system are you using?
Whatever is on my iPad.
google pays apple billions every year to be the search engine, then they spy on you and sell your info

EXACTLY!!
Wow. Just wow. The corruption is so bad.

The records are all in their end. All that shows in my records are donations on my card.
But if the FBI wanted to research it, they could try. I’m sure the bleach bit and hammers would come back out, but were used to that.
Yeah I am unfortunately not optimistic that the FBI would do anything at all to investigate this 😕
Please send your message to James O’Keefe. I have to hope that he can make good use of it
Get a lawyer or investigative journalist on it. Paul Thacker comes to mind, as does Matt Taibbi, who might have some time on his hands now…
When I first read about the ActBlue scam, I had wondered how they did it. Now I know.
Everyone has to have known.It is right there in plain view.It is just bizarre to go in and see former classmates mothers' names or someone that you have pictures in your photo album..My guess is there must be some Repub also doing it but it has to be much,much less because there just are not many Republican donations showing up.I am also not sure if everyone they "used" necessarily made an original donation.Possibly they filled in with people off a party list.I would def. show it to everyone you know-before they feel the need to do maintenance on the site.
Fascinating, thanks for sharing about your research!
Wow! Thanks for this information Queen! This explains a lot, and I hope and pray this can be brought to the attention of the “right” person/people who will act on it.
Wow
There was evidently some recall prevention fraud performed in some states also.
In CO we had two different recall petitions we could sign. All that was necessary was to not turn the fake one of them in.
That's interesting and have no doubt it's 100% true. Im just curious, what made you think to test this out to begin with?
It is weird Amazon can figure out how to cross-reference credit card holder names and physical addresses, but political campaigns just can't seem to understand that they are "unwilling" participants in fraud. I'm sure this could all be fixed if Congress could spend a billion $ on a study, done by ActBlue, of course.
