The Texas Ethics Commission and…Scott Presler?
Some will see a new Texas Ethics Commission rule as another attempt to regulate speech. Others will see it as a long-overdue measure to expose hidden money flows. But the first thing that crossed my mind? How it fits into the ongoing pattern of “conservative” controlled opposition.
Certainly my colleague Andy Hogue from Texas may have more insider information on this that I’m missing, I admit.
All of that said…
The fight against corruption, as has been one of my biggest sticking points, isn’t just about exposing the left or Democrats. It’s about exposing the grifters on the right too, the ones who wrap themselves in the flag, talk a big game about freedom, and then—quietly, discreetly—cash checks from the same globalist institutions they pretend to oppose.
We must remember this is all a long play for the enemy. There’s a reason The Art of War is a thing.
See my recent work for much more context:
The Texas Ethics Commission and… Scott Presler?
The Statesman seems to frame this rule as a response to influencers supporting Ken Paxton, but that’s just the pretext. What this rule actually does is pull back the curtain on who’s funding political messaging online—and that’s where things get interesting:
For years, a loophole in Texas election regulations has allowed social media users to not have to label political content that they are paid to produce.
The state’s elections watchdog, however, effectively closed that loophole Tuesday afternoon when state ethics commissioners unanimously voted to approve a rule requiring influencers to disclose paid posts and videos as political advertisements.
The Texas Ethics Commission’s rule change comes after a Texas Tribune report in August revealed a shadowy campaign consulting group deployed a network of online influencers to defend Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on social media ahead of his impeachment trial last year.
The company, Influenceable LLC, paid Gen Z social media users on TikTok, Instagram and other platforms to share posts impugning the legitimacy of the impeachment inquiry and to accuse Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, who approved the House’s investigation into Paxton, of being an alcoholic, the Tribune reported. The advertisements reached millions of followers, the Tribune found.
***Unfortunately that Statesman link went from public to hidden between the drafting and publication of this article. See this article for a taste of the story, along with the other linked item in the pull above. My apologies.
In reality, this could be a double-edged sword—one that could come across as over-regulation to some, but for others, one that cuts straight through the façade of “conservative” influencers. If these influencers are forced to disclose who’s paying them, then suddenly, it’s not just about the message—it’s about who’s writing the checks. And as we’ve already seen with Scott Presler’s PAC and Salem Media Group, those checks sure do seem to be coming from the same globalist power structures that conservatives are supposedly fighting against.
**Added after publication:
As always, I invite you to peruse the American people’s comments under the X posts–this is the new public square. There’s more than what I’ve presented, but you can color in the picture more on your own. Remember, think narrative and patterns, especially those that repeat and we’re not supposed to talk about.
Like election fraud.
Scott Presler seems to be very important here. He is the man who built his brand as a boots-on-the-ground conservative activist for voter registration, the man who conservatives fawn over as the future of the movement, the man whose PAC, Early Vote Action, appears to have some pretty “interesting” connections to the infamous Rockefeller name, as the posts above suggest.
Yes, that Rockefeller family. The ones with a centuries-long history of entrenching themselves into every major institution—banking, medicine, education, and global governance. The same family that helped craft the Federal Reserve, monopolized pharmaceuticals, pushed eugenics programs, and bankrolled organizations dedicated to molding world affairs into their vision of “progress.”
And now they’re funding a supposedly grassroots conservative activist?
“Ah, but he’s doing good work!” some will say. “He’s just trying to get conservatives to vote early!”
Sure. And how many of those “early votes” will disappear into the same black hole of election fraud that no one on the right is allowed to talk about anyway?
This is why it is good that Trump is keeping it in the spotlight, despite his “win” in what was also a compromised election–yes even though he won.
Let’s be real: The people cutting the checks aren’t stupid. They don’t invest in people who will upend their system. They invest in people who will lead opposition just far enough to make people feel like they’re fighting back—but never far enough to threaten the real power structure. They invest in people precisely to dupe us into thinking they’re our friends.
That’s where the whole gender thing and egg prices thing I’ve been talking about come into play. That’s what controlled opposition is. And that’s exactly what the Texas Ethics Commission’s new rule could expose, if indeed this plays out in our favor.
Salem Media Funding Controlled Opposition?
If Presler’s PAC seemingly being bankrolled by the Rockefellers wasn’t bad enough, let’s talk about another heavyweight in the conservative space—Salem Media Group–the company behind Charlie Kirk, Dennis Prager, and a whole lineup of ostensibly conservative voices.
Sounds good, right? Those are some big names!
Maybe, until you learn that among Salem’s top institutional investors are Vanguard and State Street. This source has it at over 47 percent, with Blackrock at 3.2. Interesting, the math there:
If you didn’t know, these are the same entities that own everything from legacy news networks to Big Pharma to the military-industrial complex.
Now, let’s put two and two together:
- The Texas Ethics Commission wants paid influencers to disclose who’s funding them.
- Salem Media, home to some of the loudest voices in the new conservative influencer movement, is funded by the very same institutions that fund leftist causes.
- If these rules are enforced, we could see, in broad daylight, just how deep this rabbit hole goes.
We can find out what is fact and what is just conjecture.
This is what I mean by “engaging with the story as it happens.” Obviously I understand the importance of some of these conservative voices for some of you, and I also understand my place in the pecking order. Much of this is conjecture, admittedly, but we cannot allow the history to be memory-holed on us anymore. We have to be willing to ask the questions, to risk being wrong, because the benefit of it all is that the conversation takes place on our terms, in broad daylight before the shadows bury the truth forever.
Because the problem isn’t just that these “conservative” influencers exist. The problem is that so many people–jaded and frankly pissed off about the cultural Marxism assault from the left–trust them to tell the truth, oftentimes because they finally have some one !popular! agreeing with them on pronouns. They think these figures are fighting for them because they’re not fighting with the other side. But that is where the binary trap I so often bring up comes in. As we’ve seen time and time again, these influencers will never touch the most important issue–
And one of those very important issues is splattered all over those JFK files. It’s inundated in that Epstein saga.
It is a conversation we must start to engage in on a more mainstream conservative level.
It’s right there in front of us, and some influencers are absolutely talking about it–the machinery behind it all. Others? They’ll keep you busy laughing at Kamala’s cackles and nodding along to yet another segment on woke corporations or Biden’s blunders. But start asking the real questions—start pulling at the strings—and suddenly, they start slamming the “conspiracy theorists” and remind you of what “conservativism” is supposed to be.
They’ll call it the “woke Right.”
Because that’s what they’re paid to do.
How You and I Play Our Roles
We have an opportunity here. The Texas Ethics Commission rule—whether by design or accident—has cracked open a door that needs to be kicked wide open. If influencers are forced to disclose their funding, the entire charade could collapse. People could see, in black and white, just who is paying them to say what.
And that’s the key.
Because once people realize that their so-called “leaders” are nothing more than paid actors in a carefully managed opposition movement, they’ll stop looking to them for answers. They’ll start thinking for themselves. They’ll stop waiting for “conservative leaders” to give them permission to question the narrative.
They’ll stop waiting for Trump to do everything.
And that is what the real power brokers fear the most. The truth isn’t a brand. It isn’t a political campaign. It isn’t a marketing strategy.
It is capitalized as Truth.
It is God Incarnate, and once it starts multiplying like loaves in the wilderness—once people wake up and start seeing past the illusion—there’s no stopping it.
So let’s use this. Let’s take this new rule and push it as far as it will go, namely in our own minds, our own thought processes, our own work. Let’s demand transparency—not just from the left, but from that other side that is supposed to be our friends.
Because the real battle isn’t left vs right.
It’s Truth–capital T–vs control.
And contrary to my ongoing warning against the binary trap, it’s time to pick a side.

May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
