Top Lobbyists of 2024
The US government operates on a pay-to-play basis. I’ve repeatedly called out lobbying groups who are openly permitted to bribe our politicians. A portion of these lobbyists circle within the government itself as it is one big revolving door. Open Secrets revealed the top lobbying groups in the United States. Notice a trend?
There are countless medical and pharmaceutical companies on this list, shelling out billions collectively to sway our politicians. It goes without saying that these lobbyists are actively working to prevent Donald Trump from entering the White House, especially now that he has partnered with Robert F. Kennedy to “Make America Healthy Again.” In Trump’s own words, the establishment hates him because he prevents lobbyists from shoving dollars in politician’s pockets at the expense of the people.
Trump was already wealthy when he entered the world of politics and has never needed the backing of lobbying groups. “They want to sell product I’m not interested in,” Donald Trump stated when asked why the establishment is trying to sink him. The former president mentions that he did not want to purchase military supplies, a nod to his unwillingness to side with the neocons and arm Ukraine. He calls the lobbying efforts from the pharmaceutical companies “interesting,” which is quite interesting as the Biden-Harris Administration claims they are cracking down on Big Pharma.
Now, this list does not even include all of the Super PACs that are spending countless resources on swaying perception. For example, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has spent over $100 million on influencing the US Federal elections. Those behind the curtain say that most politicians have their own go-to AIPAC representative who fills their personal coffers. Others donate to organizations that then use that money for lobbying efforts. The organizations listed above have already selected the candidates you may vote for, and once those candidates are in office, they are not there to serve the public but their own private interests.
Lobbyists (and insider trading, perhaps through information from lobbyists) are the reason that politicians, public servants, become wealthy. Dianne Feinstein who passed away last October, for example, earned $200,000 annually, but after decades as a career politician, she died with a net worth of over $160 million. She pushed through green energy efforts while owning a $62 million Gulfstream G650 jet that she used to fly from mansion to mansion. Hillary Clinton encouraged her to die in office rather than step down as to not let a Republican take her seat. Why would any of these politicians retire when they are accumulating wealth while working a part-time job?
Washington accuses foreign forces of influencing US elections when we have organizations OPENLY BUYING POLITICIANS and public favor.
