The Sixteen Thirty Fund – Hidden Online Propaganda

"The 40+ million followers of these influencers do not know that these videos and posts are paid and curated by the leftist billionaire elite"

"Traditional political advertisements are disclosed as advertisements. “Paid for by…” However, the new form of media control is through “unique” social media messaging. Moreover, the majority of these social media platforms are already controlled by the leftist billionaire elite."

"The people paid to push these messages do not understand that they are working for the very people they claim to detest."

The Sixteen Thirty Fund is a dark money nonprofit that funnels hundreds of millions of dollars to left-leaning political causes. The group spent over $410 million in 2020 alone on media campaigns in an attempt to persuade voters to support “progressive” causes such as migration, climate policies, and abortion. George Soros, Pierre Omidyar, and Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss are known donors to the fund, although the group is not required to disclose their donations publicly.

Not only is the group permitted to operate anonymously, but those paid to promote their messages also operate in secrecy. WIRED magazine recently announced that the Sixteen Thirty Fund has been paying over 90 online social media influencers up to $8,000 a month to support Democratic causes. These content creators operate under the “Chorus Creator Incubator Program,” and they are provided with specific propaganda tools such as “advocacy training,” message briefings, newsroom events, and are often asked to partner with politicians and other left-leaning organizations.

Both sides advertise and push subtle messaging in the media; however, the Sixteen Thirty Fund has prohibited those in the Chorus Creator Incubator Program from disclosing their involvement with the fund. The elites who are promoting causes that they themselves do not abide by insist on anonymity. The 40+ million followers of these influencers do not know that these videos and posts are paid and curated by the leftist billionaire elite.
