Black Lives Matter’s national U.S. organisation is at risk of going bankrupt after its finances plunged $8.5 million into the red last year – while simultaneously handing seven-figure salaries to multiple staff connected with the founder and leaders. The Mail has the story.
Financial disclosures obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show the perilous state of BLM’s Global Network Foundation, which officially emerged in November 2020, as a more formal way of structuring the civil rights movement.
Yet despite the financial controversy and scrutiny, BLM GNF continued to hire relatives of the founder, Patrisse Cullors, and several board members.
Cullors’ brother, Paul Cullors, set up two companies which were paid $1.6 million providing “professional security services” for Black Lives Matter in 2022.
Paul Cullors was also one of BLM’s only two paid employees during the year, collecting a $126,000 salary as “head of security” on top of his consulting fees. He is best known as a graffiti artist, with no background in security.
Patrisse Cullors defended hiring him, saying registered security firms which hired former police officers could not be trusted, given the movement’s opposition to police brutality.
For the previous year, 2021, tax filings revealed that BLM paid a company owned by Damon Turner, the father of Cullors’ child, nearly $970,000 to help “produce live events” and provide other “creative services”.
Cullors resigned in May 2021.
“While Patrisse Cullors was forced to resign due to charges of using BLM’s funds for her personal use, it looks like she’s still keeping it all in the family,” said Paul Kamenar, an attorney for the National Legal and Policy Center watchdog group.
Shalomyah Bowers, who took over from Cullors when she resigned, also benefitted handsomely from the group: in 2022, his consultancy firm was paid $1.7 million for management and consulting services, the Free Beacon reported.
And the sister of former Black Lives Matter board member Raymond Howard was also employed in a lucrative role as a consultant.
Danielle Edwards’s firm, New Impact Partners, was paid $1.1 million for consulting services in 2022, the Free Beacon said.
Donations to the organisation plunged by 88% between 2021 and 2022, from $77 million to just $9.3 million for the most recent financial year.
Such a pity.

I knew a former close protection officer who after leaving the police service worked as an adviser/consultant in London. While she was walking home from the office one evening a guy tried to mug her. Bad mistake. Police brutality? Nah. He had a knife and thought he was invincible.
Hahaha, and the fact she’s an actual immunologist is just the icing on the cake. Why the heck would they even advertise how stupid and gullible they are though?
”A Melbourne family has shared that they have caught Covid-19 14 times between them despite being vaccinated.
Dr Anne Fletcher, an immunologist at Monash University in Melbourne, told SBS that the family fell like “dominoes” when they first caught Covid during the first week of the school term in 2022.
Dr Fletcher’s husband works as a police officer and she has three children aged nine, seven and one.
But the first infection was just the start for the family.
“I’ve had it three times confirmed, my husband’s had it four, I have two children who had it three times each, and a baby who’s had it once confirmed,” she said.
Dr Fletcher said while her family was vaccinated she attributes the number of times they have had Covid to her “germy children”.
But her husband believes he caught it once at work despite wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE), and the family also got sick when travelling overseas.
“It’s generally about a three-month gap [between infections], pretty much on the dot,” Dr Fletcher said.
The family is not alone. Social media is awash with stories from people contracting Covid-19 three, four, and sometimes five times each.”

When I first read the sentence ‘But the first infection was just the start for the family’ I misread ‘infection’ as ‘injection’.
Yes well I’m pretty sure they’ll be multi-jabbed. It’s the impression I get anyway. Sadly though, with jab junkie Covidian space cadets like this for parents, the poor kids don’t stand a chance at remaining free from the toxic gunk.
It’s the same in the UK Mogs. Anybody working for the NHS is immune to reason when it comes to the Scamdemic.
There are some more gems in the article:
One Reddit user wrote that they had it three times, all confirmed via tests: “The third was a walk in the park with no lasting neurological effects”.
Thank God no lasting neurological effects which didn’t last, as happened after the first and second infection!
Another said they “recently got over Covid for the second time after catching it a few weeks ago”.
“I cannot think where I caught it because I still mask up going into shops, etc … only thing I can think of is I caught it off a shopping basket because I didn’t sanitise at the time,”
Yesterday, my husband rang and told me he had a car crash which left his car in ruins and him slightly bruised and asked me if I could come and pick him up. I took the second car, raced there like a mad woman and immediately tested him! Our worst suspicions were confirmed: It was COVID again and this time, it had also taken out car! Thank God we’re both up-to-date on our 887th booster! God only knows how much worse the crash had been otherwise!
What the family caught 14 times in a row were positive (LFT) test results, nothing more, ie, whenever someone of her family complains about any ailment, it’s Test! Test! Test! until OMG! It’s COVID again! has been confirmed in this way. They could really do that after a car crash and thus, possibly confirm that It was COVID wot dun it! And that’s indeed completely crazy, because presence of Sars-CoV2 RNA means absolutely nothing on its own, especially not that whatever the present ailment happens to be was actually caused by it.
The lady may well be capable in her professional capacity but privately, she’s just a stupid, superstitious woman who believes in the magic power of her rituals and talismans.
Well I’m obviously naive because I assumed an immunologist would know a thing or two about immunity. Such an out of touch, 2019 attitude, Mogs, get with the programme! lol
This has cheered me up no end.

Isn’t she also the owner of posh mansions? And an avowed Marxist-terrorist and Muzzie friendly?
Will this criminal and her bro go to jail for theft? Or fraud?… in xi Biden’s DisUnited States, unlikely. Unless her last name was Drumpf. They be Black man. So no charges.

Black matter lives!
Not the only single-issue political movement to come unstuck this way. SNP anyone?
oh dear how sad never mind
Donations ‘plunged’ to $9.3 million?!! PLUNGED?!!! Why haven’t all the funds been requisitioned because BLM used coercion, dishonesty, racism, which all added up to extortion. Extortion is illegal isn’t it?
To recap the aims of BLM
1. BLM wants to ‘dismantle capitalism’
2. BLM says climate change is ‘racist’
3. BLM wants to abolish prisons
4. BLM wants to get rid of borders

9. BLM condemned the suffragettes
10. BLM said Churchill is ‘staunchly racist’
11. BLM describes big charities as ‘colonisers’
