You're confused and ignorant. Not stupid, but maybe AIPAC is not a PAC. It's no different than any large voluntary organization supporting an issue. Is that a bad thing? Why is there no entity for saving Nigerian Christians? Christians don't care, apparently. Uighurs in the PRC? Same for Muslims, I guess.
AIPAC gives no money, makes no endorsement, etc. Individuals do those. There is a separate PAC, just like the thousands of other PACs, which is regulated, files reports, and so forth. If you don't like Americans exercising their constitutionally protected freedom of speech, freedom of association, and other freedoms under attack, then quit bitching and form your own PAC. JStreet is a good one.
Funny how many Democrats are shocked, SHOCKED! to find out that censorship could be turned on them.
I guess they thought they'd always be in charge of the censorship. I remember when people called me a nut case when I pointed out that Barack Obama prosecuted more journalists under the Espionage Act than every president before him combined.
"What do you think is going to happen when the Republicans are in charge?" I would say.
This. This is what fucking happens, you dumb fucks.
Uh, the PATRIOT Act? Cancelling of "Republicans" who don't tow the Trump line? Kinsinger, Meijer, and Cheney were all drummed out of the party. Goldwater and WF Buckley Jr. are spinning in their graves at what a "Conservative" is called today. Edmund Burke would be shocked.
So far, only MTG has the ovaries to call out the many campaign promises broken by Trump. What Epstein files?
Forgive me, but I don't understand what point you are making.
The Patriot Act was passed (and passed again and again) with broad bipartisan enthusiasm, along with NAFTA, the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Gramm-Leach-Blighly, and countless other affronts to common sense.
Kissinger and Cheney are responsible for the deaths of millions.
Goldwater and Buckley are not people I hold in very high opinion. Can't say I know who Meijer is (assuming you aren't talking about the grocery store).
And I would be delighted to bet anyone money that the Democratic Leadership doesn't want the Epstein Files to come out either, since I have a high degree of confidence that the leadership of both parties would be severely compromised - which will be delightful when they are released.
You seem to have a favorable position on Burke, which I guess would make you a conservative. While I would be delighted to have you try and show me greater period of economic growth for the middle class than the New Deal, I'm happy to set aside our differences to crush the legion of war criminal conmen that lead both parties.
That would probably keep us all busy for quite a while.
I'm glad someone noticed this is going after anyone who "funds" an idea. People should study how the US has arbitrarily applied sanctions and anti-terrorism laws around the globe since 2001 to supposed cut terrorists and bad actors off from financing. At this point, effectively all banks instantly comply with any order (or even informal request) from the US government if they claim it relates to terrorism or sanctions. They don't demand a legal order or evidence, they simply immediately comply. The threat that the US holds over their heads (cutting them off from the SWIFT and other dollar systems and destroying them instantly) is so severe that they comply without question.
Stunning that not one voice in Congress is raised against this.
FARA, that is the law that AIPAC has been allowed to avoid and will continue to avoid with no consequences. And non-profit charitable organizations, aren't there a number of "Friends of X Settlement" in the West Bank that the IRS allow donors to tax deduct their contributions? How about "Friends of the IDF" an American organization that collects ten of millions of dollars?
What is Israel doing if not conducting organized terror in Gaza and what are the Israeli settlers in the West Bank doing as they rampage against helpless Palestinians if it is not terrorism.
Zionism had already turned America upside down before Trump took office to the point that Biden declared himself a Zionist and there was no outcry, but Trump is enthusiastically taking the down ramp, going after Americans who thought we had a Constitution but were mistaken.
It’s interesting the level that they’re targeting nonprofits. Reinforces my decision to run my startup as a corporation, who have more rights than people.
Be nice if they were honest and used this to classify AIPAC as the foreign representing entity that they are; not holding my breath.

We aren't funding genocides perpetrated by the groups you listed.
