UDP, the new AIPAC
You people ... you people are just ruining everything! Too many of you have become aware of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians slaughtered by the Jewish Zionists since 1948, approximately 200,000 since 7-Oct-2023 alone (the official figure of 60-70 thousand is garbage). Too many of you have become aware of the immense political influence the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) wields in the United States. Too many of you have become aware that John Kennedy attempted to force the Jewish lobby to register as a foreign agent which they are legally required to do. Too many of you have become aware that culture destroying tactics such as gender fluidity, homosexuality, transsexualism and pornography are largely products of Jewish-Zionist interests. Well, now you've gone too damn far! You've given AIPAC such a bad name that the Zionists were forced to spin-off yet another new super-PAC, the United Democracy Project (UDP) which is, of course, staffed by many AIPAC members.
AIPAC, UDP DMFI Details | ANC Report
There are SO many pro Israel organizations but lets cover the top ones. All under the umbrella of AIPAC are the super PACs. AIPAC PAC, UDP PAC, and DMFI PAC. Those second two are United Democracy Project and Democratic Majority of Israel.
#1 is Jan Koum the founder of Whatsapp who gave 5 Million to UDP. Jan is a Ukrainian Jew Billionaire who has a restraining order placed on hims for physical and verbal abuse for his ex girl friend. Note that Whatsapp was used by JP Morgan to pay hush money to Epstein victims. And it is where a cabal of Jewish billionaires congregated to make plans to go after people protesting the genocide of Gaza.
#2 Johnathon Jacobson another Jewish Billionaire, hedge fund manager that shut down Highfields Hedge Fund after stagnating and then losing money for three years in a row from 2014 to 2017. They made money earlier by short selling Enron.
#3 David Zalik and his wife Helen Zalik. David gave Zalik $454,800 to AIPAC Pac and $2,000,000 to UDP and his wife gave a matching $453,800 to AIPAC PAC. The top 5 donors gave more to UDP than they did to AIPAC. Together Jan Koum, Johnathon Jacobson and the Zaliks gave roughly 10 million dollars to the Israel lobbies. That is equal to what the US gives to Israel in foreign aid every day. YOu can see what a great ROI this is. For one day worth of aid you get to own the US congress.
The Corporate Power Brokers Behind AIPAC's War on the Squad - In These Times
Mark Mellman, another Democratic strategist and one of the founders of Democratic Majority for Israel - a Super PAC that, like AIPAC's United Democracy Project, was created to boost pro-Israel primary challengers against left-wing congressmembers - believed "the savagery of Hamas has moved the center of gravity in a pro-Israel direction."
After October 7, United Democracy Project (UDP) began running digital ads against Lee and Bowman, maligning them for their refusal to back the singularly pro-Israel House resolution.
Eliding the fact that Lee and other Squad members had vocally condemned the Hamas attack, one such ad read: "Fourteen hundred Israelis slaughtered by Hamas. Women raped. Babies beheaded. Over 200 hostages. But Summer Lee was one of just 10 votes in Congress against condemning Hamas' terrorism."
Before long, Slate reported that AIPAC was expected to spend the gargantuan sum of $100 million during the 2023-24 cycle to unseat high-profile Israel critics in Congress, including Lee and other members of the Squad.
AIPAC wading into elections was nothing new. The lobby has been a powerful and influential force in U.S. politics for many years - and, according to James Zogby, co-founder and president of the Arab American Institute, "AIPAC coordinated the PACs that existed prior to dark money." In such cases, Zogby explains, "These 15 PACs will give to this guy, and these 20 to that guy, and by the way, each one of these PACs has someone on their board who's on AIPAC's board of advisors."
But the sheer scale of AIPAC's spending - enabled by Supreme Court decisions that have unleashed the distorting influence of big money in elections - and the tactics being used are more recent developments. These pro-Israel groups now directly intervene in Democratic primary races, flooding the airwaves with negative ads maligning progressives in the eyes of loyal Democratic voters.
Former Ohio state senator and Sanders campaign surrogate Nina Turner was among the first targets of this strategy during her 2021 run for Congress. Much like Lee, Turner was the overwhelming favorite for an open blue congressional seat in northeast Ohio but saw a massive early lead vanish under a nearly $2 million avalanche of negative advertising by Democratic Majority for Israel that painted her as a disloyal extremist.
United Democracy Project - AIPAC's super PAC - is spending millions of dollars in a safe-blue Maryland House primary. And nobody will say why.
UDP has spent $3.5 million on ads since April to boost state Sen. Sarah Elfreth in the 3rd District Democratic primary, according to AdImpact data. Elfreth's top opponent on Tuesday is former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. But unlike other primaries where pro-Israel groups spend heavily, there are no distinguishable differences between the main candidates on Israel.
The investment from UDP massively eclipses what the group has spent this cycle to oust some fervently anti-AIPAC candidates. On the Hill, Dunn's own supporters - in addition to neutral Maryland House Democrats - told us they were in the dark as to why UDP is laying out millions to support Elfreth.
Dunn, who rose to prominence after delivering stirring testimony about his experience protecting the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, raised a staggering $3.75 million in Q1. Elfreth has lagged behind Dunn in the money game, but she has benefited from a plethora of UDP ads hailing her as an effective legislator on abortion rights and the environment.
By the numbers: UDP's $3.5 million spend to boost Elfreth on the airwaves has eclipsed Dunn's $2.1 million investment, per AdImpact data. Elfreth's campaign itself has spent $817,000 on the air.
Notably, the UDP cash drop is orders of magnitude more than the group spent to oust Squad member and AIPAC antagonist Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) this spring. In Lee's April primary, which she won by over 20 points, UDP spent just $65,000 on ads, per AdImpact.
And in New York's 16th District, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) is facing a challenge from George Latimer, UDP has spent just $67,000 on ads to date. Bowman has long been critical of Israel.
