The Bloom is Off The Ruse – Tom Donohue and U.S. Chamber of Commerce Announce Support for Far-Left Democrats in 2020…
2020-08-30
The Last Refuge via Instapundit
A fifteen year argument is finally over.... We win. Most CTH readers probably don’t even remember the reason for the name: "The Last Refuge" upon this little corner of the internet. However, for well over a decade we have tried to share the truth behind the financial mechanisms that run Washington DC; and the primary machine has always been a completely corrupt, deceptive and anti-American U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Against the entirety of the conservative media; and against the entirety of every organized group that ever attended CPAC; this website has attempted to educate people about the genuinely fraudulent purposes of the U.S. CoC and their President Tom Donohue. I have written hundreds of articles over the years outlining "there are trillions at stake" and the elements of importance behind that statement. Every single mainstream conservative voice has denied the truth; and likely most of them are probably on the CoC payroll.

Every former administration took massive payments from the CoC and allowed the Chamber to write trade agreements language for decades. The CoC business model was to take payments from Wall Street multinationals and then write the agreements to their benefit. Politicians were paid to keep quiet and support the CoC. The chamber is the largest lobby organization in DC. The chamber spends more money on influence than any other lobbying group by a massive amount. The CoC is at the heart of DC corruption.

President Trump knew about the CoC business model; that’s why he never allowed them a seat at the ’America First’ table. That was the original source of our support for candidate Donald Trump. And now, after a decade of our trying to highlight the CoC scheme and the reason for it; yesterday, the U.S. Chamber dropped their pretense and admitted they were now supporting democrats because the CoC effort can only succeed by destroying Main St.

#16  Veterans who survived WWII returned, married, had families, and built an amazing economic nation.

The only way foreign companies could destroy that was to buy influence somewhere in the US. So they started shshelling cash out to the Chamber.

Of all the hard working business owners I know, not one of them are a member of the Chamber.

As Ayn Rand would say: "Check your premises."

#10  Chamber of Commerce is responsible for the decimation of US Tech, with H1B destroying local talent, and offshoring destroying the rest.

The Chamber of Commerce at a national level has been a primary cog in the wheels that drive the swamp. They are akin to the industrialists who backed Hitler. Screw thm.

#8  I’m sure they don’t think of themselves as embracing left-wing politics, but as supporting the team that understands their needs aw President Trump clearly refuses to do. All the rest is pragmatic acceptance of the cost of doing business.

#7  The bloom has been off the rose for sometime now. At one time the CoC was more interested in promoting business instead of embracing left-wing communist politics. What happened?

#6  Glad I withdrew my membership from the local CoC after a single year.

#5  The Chamber of Commerce has always been an open border, globalist organization. Just like most of the business people in it.

No surprise they see a threat in Trump to their over sea profits.
