Questions.

I am on the mailing list of a “movement” entity that I despise but that shall remain nameless here (I am sure readers know to what I refer).

The “leader” of that entity was writing (as usual) about donations, thanking those deluded fools who had provided money and stating that. Once again, a “reader” is offering a “$10,000 matching grant.”  That is a common trope with that entity – the matching grants, with $10,000” being a common amount. It seems that it is the same “reader” offering these matching grants.

Who could this be? The relevance is that this person is helping to find what I see as a destructive influence in pro-White activism, so their identity and motivation is important.

I have ideas on that – who it is - but without evidence I am not stating those suspicions without evidence as that would be inappropriate and potentially defamatory. So, instead I will just list characteristics that I believe would define such an individual.

I do not believe it is a person who is if any prominence in Der Movement. Those types typically don’t have that sort of money to give away and even if they did they are not typically inclined to give away large amounts of money to other Quota Queens. After all, those fellows are obsessed with money and obtaining money from supporters so I cannot see them transferring their panhandling profits to another panhandler, even a friendly one.

So, this would be someone not a public “movement” figure and perhaps (as I suspect) someone known in the mainstream who is not directly linked to Der Movement. This is a person who has a lot of money, plenty of “money to burn,” with, obviously, right-wing) even Far Right) sympathies. More to the point, this person would have a particular interest in this specific “movement” entity, its ideologies and, let us say, its preferences and characteristics. This last part – the specific interest in a particular “movement” entity of a level that they would be willing to give large matching grants – is a strong clue to the identity of the person. Why that entity and not another?

Why does $10,000 seem to be the single offer limit in these scenarios? I assume that the rationale is the $10,000 reporting limit. That suggests that the “reader” is someone who would prefer that these donations not be looked at too closely. Of course, if multiple such donations are made in a year that would trigger the need for a gift tax filing (even if no money is owed), but that filing would likely not be public.
