Foreign AffairsKamala Harris Campaign Spending Breakdown As Declared To The FEC by hotwax(op): 9:27am On Nov 13, 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign spent more than $1 billion in three months, highlighted by several expenditures that have drawn intense criticism, including spending on celebrity influencers, radical activist groups and private jets.

FEC filings show the Harris campaign made two $500,000 payments to Oprah Winfrey’s production company, first reported by the Washington Examiner, on Oct. 15, a month after Winfrey appeared with Harris at a town hall event and weeks before Oprah was on stage with Harris at a Philadelphia rally before election day.

Conservatives on social media widely criticized the move, accusing Harris of buying the famous endorsement that ultimately did not yield a victory.

"Unconscionable," GOP Rep. Greg Murphy posted on X. "Oprah, a billionaire, sells her soul for a measly $1M."

Oprah pushed back on the criticism when confronted by TMZ, saying she was "paid nothing."

A Harpo spokesperson acknowledged that Harpo Productions took money from the campaign but claimed it was for "production costs" and said, "Oprah Winfrey was at no point during the campaign paid a personal fee, nor did she receive a fee from Harpo."

Giving money to prominent celebrities was a theme of the Harris campaign, which gave almost $4 million to Village Marketing Agency, a company that connects clients with social media influencers.

The long list of celebrities that joined Harris on the campaign trail included Beyoncé, Bon Jovi, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Bruce Springsteen.

The Washington Examiner also reported that the Harris campaign spent over $12 million on digital media consultants and "spent six figures on building a set for Harris’s appearance on the popular Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper."

The campaign spent at least $15 million on "event production," FEC records show, with many payments lining up with high profile events and concerts with celebrity attendees or performers.

"The truth is this is just an epic disaster, this is a $1 billion disaster," Lindy Li, Harris surrogate and DNC National Finance Committee member, told "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday.

The controversial spending habits of the campaign also included contributions to radical activist groups.

The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks in September for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about defunding the police, reparations and are tied to radical activists who have supported notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan, Fox News Digital previously reported.

The Black Voters Matter Fund, which received $150,000 from the Harris campaign on Sept. 19, has repeatedly called for defunding the police and has been vocal about pushing for reparations.

The Black Church PAC, which also received $150,000 from the Harris campaign in September, has multiple controversial religious leaders on its board and recent social media posts show it is partnering with a defund the police group to help with "Get out the vote" efforts in Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Despite running a campaign warning of the effects of climate change, which she has previously called an "existential threat", Harris gave over $4 million to Advanced Aviation to fly on private jets, FEC filings show.

These people have nothing to loose because of trump. He was president for 4 years, nothing happened to them.

They are suddenly dramatizing as if trump has come to kill them.

In reality, they knew US constitution protect citizen rights. But they hate trump, they are in shock that the man they so hate that much became their president.

CNN and other liberal news media have positioned their brain to hate trump.

They said he is going to be hitler as if USA don’t have 3 arms of government.

That’s radical left for you.

The governor of California who withdrew was a better choice.

USA is not and will never be ready for a female black president. Hillary Clinton did a lot better than Kamala Harris and Mitchel Obama would have been worse than Harris. That is the USA for you.

PoliticsRe: IMF Slashes Nigeria’s 2024 Growth Forecast To 2.9%, Raises 2025 Forecast To 3.2% by hotwax: 6:59am On Oct 23, 2024
To backup my post above, here are my evidences: IMF will crash your economy and run away.


The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has often been at the center of controversy regarding its role in global economics, particularly in how its policies have impacted political stability and regime changes in several countries. While the IMF itself does not directly engage in regime changes, its economic interventions—often in the form of structural adjustment programs (SAPs)—have contributed to political instability, mass protests, and, in some cases, regime changes. Here’s a brief history of how the IMF’s influence has intersected with political upheavals:

1. Latin America in the 1980s
During the 1980s, several Latin American countries—Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and others—sought IMF assistance due to massive debt crises. The IMF's SAPs often required austerity measures, including cutting public spending, removing subsidies, and liberalizing markets. These measures led to widespread protests and unrest. In some cases, the political fallout from IMF-imposed austerity contributed to the collapse of regimes:

Argentina (1989) [/b]The hyperinflation crisis, exacerbated by IMF-imposed austerity, led to widespread protests and the early resignation of President Raúl Alfonsín.
Bolivia (1985): Hyperinflation and IMF-backed reforms led to mass protests and significant social unrest, leading to a change in government.

[b]2. Eastern Europe (Post-Soviet Era)

In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, several Eastern European countries turned to the IMF for financial support to transition to market economies. While the IMF provided necessary assistance, its prescribed policies led to severe social hardships, contributing to political instability.

Russia (1998): Following IMF-backed reforms, Russia experienced a financial crisis, leading to a default on its debt. The resulting economic collapse weakened the presidency of Boris Yeltsin, paving the way for Vladimir Putin's rise to power.
Yugoslavia (1980s and 1990s): IMF austerity measures imposed in the 1980s are believed to have exacerbated economic hardships that contributed to the breakup of Yugoslavia, eventually leading to the violent conflicts in the 1990s.

3. Asia (1997 Financial Crisis)
The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis prompted several countries—Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea, among others—to seek IMF assistance. The IMF imposed tough conditions, including austerity measures, bank closures, and structural reforms, which led to severe economic contraction and political instability.

Indonesia (1998): The IMF's economic prescriptions contributed to economic collapse and mass protests, ultimately forcing President Suharto to step down after 31 years in power.
Thailand: Economic turmoil from IMF-imposed austerity measures led to political upheavals and the eventual fall of the Chavalit Yongchaiyudh government.

4. Argentina (2001-2002)
Argentina's economic collapse in 2001 is one of the most cited examples of IMF failure. The IMF had supported Argentina’s fixed currency regime, but as the country’s debt grew unsustainable, the IMF refused to lend further assistance without severe austerity measures. The economic collapse led to mass protests, five presidents in two weeks, and widespread political instability.

The IMF was blamed for worsening the crisis by supporting rigid economic policies, and its reputation in Argentina suffered heavily as a result.

5. Greece (2008-2015)
During the Eurozone debt crisis, Greece became heavily dependent on IMF and European Union bailouts. The IMF's conditions included significant austerity measures, which led to economic hardship, mass unemployment, and social unrest. Public backlash against these policies led to the rise of the anti-austerity Syriza party, which briefly considered exiting the Eurozone before agreeing to further bailout terms.

The IMF's involvement is often blamed for deepening the economic crisis in Greece and causing political volatility.

6. Haiti (2000s)
In Haiti, the IMF's interventions date back to the 1980s, but more recent policies have also been criticized. In 2008, rising food prices (partly attributed to IMF-backed agricultural policies) led to widespread protests and political instability. In 2004, a coup ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, which some have linked to economic pressures exacerbated by IMF policies. While the direct role of the IMF in Aristide’s ouster is debated, the country’s economic fragility was worsened by IMF-enforced austerity.

7. Sri Lanka (2022)

Sri Lanka experienced a major economic collapse in 2022 due to high debt, depleted foreign reserves, and severe inflation. The IMF stepped in with a bailout package. However, prior mismanagement, especially borrowing from China for large-scale infrastructure projects, left the country in a precarious position. Mass protests erupted as the government struggled to meet IMF conditions, resulting in President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fleeing the country and resigning amid a popular uprising. Though the IMF wasn’t directly responsible for the collapse, its conditions and previous loans were part of the broader economic dynamic that led to the crisis.

StaffofOrayan:
The IMF would advise you to cut spending on sectors like health, education, and other public sector services while you funnel those funds not to pay back loans, but to service them! Eventually, civil unrest would break out which is the ideal scenario for these 'financial experts' aka repentant colonialists
Haiti and stri lanka are examples.

When IMF drained their economy, they ran away. Those places are now civil war front. It pains my heart that nigerians are sleeping instead of going on the street to chase Tinubu away.

Jonathan did not allow IMF thats why boko haram was setup, Obama even donated his campaign manager for buhari.

That tinibu election supreme court judgement was runs by CIA/IMF. Those judges can't do anything funny. They were under threats too. You people don't know how IMF works.

Do a research about them. They have violently changed many regimes.

If you enter their trap, your economy is gone forever..your country will be well established as war torn or third world country.

Tinubu certificate saga and drug case in the USA brought this upon us. I blame atiku for this. They used his criminal records to imprison him.

Tinubu is just lying to you...he is under a cage too. He is just doing his bits to ensure power does not go to the oppostion.

If power moves to the opposite the direction, APC atrocities will be out..secrets of secrets will be out, things will spoil. APC will fight to be there ever because they have done the unmentionable. Lagos is another example, APC must not loose lagos. Many people will run away.
