The $2 Billion Machine Funding Zohran Mamdani

The Socialist Face of a Billionaire-Backed Machine

Let’s call it what it is: political money laundering dressed in progressive drag. While the media hypes the rise of so-called “grassroots” movements like New York's Working Families Party (WFP), the real engine behind these campaigns is an elite donor class using shell charities and PACs to puppeteer the revolution—from above.

Take Zohran Mamdani, the socialist darling of the WFP. After taking office, Mamdani triumphantly declared on NBC that “billionaires shouldn’t exist.” Stirring words—until you follow the money. Mamdani's campaign was buoyed by over $2 million in spending from PACs and “advocacy” groups, the bulk of which traces back to the very billionaire class he denounces. If that smells like hypocrisy, it’s because it is. The idea of billionaires funding a socialist candidate isn’t just ironic—it’s a masterclass in political misdirection.

But this isn't just about Mamdani. This is a system. A rigged apparatus. And it's operating right under the IRS’s nose.

The Soros Network: A $5.57 Billion Shadow Pipeline

Let’s follow the paper trail. It begins, unsurprisingly, with George Soros—the perennial funder of progressive causes. His $4.5 billion “charity,” the Open Society Institute, enjoys full tax exemption while pumping money into political satellite organizations like the Tides Foundation, which somehow reports $350 million in annual activity despite claiming zero employees. From there, the money trickles—no, floods—into groups like the Working Families Organization, a 501(c)(4), which then bankrolls the PACs pushing candidates like Mamdani to the podium.

This is not philanthropy. This is a political investment portfolio disguised as a charity network. And it’s operating on a scale that would make even the Clinton Foundation blush.

To make matters worse, the architects of this structure aren’t even bothering to hide their tracks. These “separate” entities share staff, decision-makers, and operating goals. They admit to “common control.” One day someone’s an executive at the charitable arm; the next, they’re cutting checks at the PAC. This isn't just unethical—it’s illegal. The IRS code is clear: charitable organizations must operate exclusively for charitable purposes. The moment political campaigning enters the mix, that tax exemption should be yanked.

Accounting Firms Flag the Operation — IRS Does Nothing

Audits have already flagged the problem. Accounting giants like Deloitte and Withum found “significant deficiencies” and “overlapping officers” between these interconnected organizations. The technical term is “substance over form,” which means the law doesn’t care how many legal wrappers you slap on your scam—if it walks like a political machine and quacks like a political machine, it doesn’t matter what the paperwork says.

And the cost? North of $450 million per year in lost tax revenue. Money that could fund real infrastructure, veterans' care, or—God forbid—be returned to the people who earned it. Instead, it's being funneled into a machine that manufactures faux-populist candidates while its billionaire patrons remain comfortably behind the curtain.

Corrupted Oversight: Referees Wearing Team Jerseys

To make things even more brazen, the so-called “watchdogs” overseeing this operation have been compromised. Larry Moskowitz, a 15-year WFP insider, somehow ended up on the New York City Campaign Finance Board. His colleague, David Duhalde—formerly of the Democratic Socialists of America—also held a position there while his network ran a mayoral campaign. Imagine referees calling plays while wearing the same jersey as the players. That’s not democracy; it’s insider trading with ballots.

What emerges from all this is a system where PACs fund campaigns with money they never had, using circular transactions that would qualify as fraud in any regulated financial institution. But because the perpetrators cloak themselves in social justice rhetoric, they get a pass.

The Great Progressive Grift: Populism for Sale

This is the genius—and the poison—of today’s progressive political apparatus: to preach revolution while being bankrolled by oligarchs. To speak for “working families” while laundering elite capital into political leverage. To wave the banner of democracy while rigging the game behind closed doors.

And the IRS? They have over a thousand pages of documentation, flagged audits, and financial disclosures showing clear abuse. But enforcement has been non-existent. Because in Washington, enforcement follows the narrative. And when that narrative is controlled by a $5.57 billion media and political empire, truth doesn’t just get buried—it gets silenced.

This isn't grassroots. It's Astroturf. And unless Americans wake up, we’ll continue to be governed by tax-exempt billionaires funding candidates who promise to dismantle the very system that made them rich—all while selling you the fantasy that it’s a people’s movement.
