I don't think this has been covered or questioned before,

Back to CI topic.
It was mentioned / disputed
looooong ago the gazillion dollars it would need for a successful secession / independence.
Who's currently, in this moment in time funding the entire CI movement, and
has the CI movement considered or approached someone like Elon Musk for example for funding purposes.
Good question.
I'm not sure Musk is convinced of the cause.
He appears to be dead against the Leftist suicide trajectory, but not yet the Right's.
So, he doesn't appear to see the presence of the deep-state hand that controls both ANC and DA factions.
He's also a recipient of PPP subsidies. I think this represents a conflict of interest in shrinking the scope of the State's centralized powers.
If you ask any sensible, Right-leaning person, whether individuals should legally be expropriated on a monthly basis to support large State interventionist programs, they will say yes, as long as the blue-haired, nose-ring people don't have control of the State at the time.
Elon is firmly in this camp.
He doesn't yet see any reason to decentralize power. He believes there are people who will - under extremely perverse incentives i.e. State power - nevertheless conduct themselves in the interests of the people.
"[You just need the right strongmen to hold that power, and all will be well]"
Politicians the world over are known for doing something very specific every time their lips move.
We all know and regularly - except in the feverish, heady runnup to elections - acknowledge this.
The DA is not opposed to the NEP-esque Fabian agenda of the ANC. We can see by their actions, that they are loyal and obedient first to their donors, and second to themselves, by their erratic stance when it comes to principled core values.
I'm just curious about the funding behind the CI, who are the large funders to this movement currently etc...
I think the largest funders are the most interesting ones. As we know what we've come to know as the Epstein class, funds all sides of the political spectrum. (there may be one or two who expressed discontent with the DA's duplicitous ways on co-operating with the CIM).
The CI was identified by the EC, and funded in what I believe was an initial, test phase.... to see how malleable the leadership of the movement was i.e. Phil Craig.
They continue to monitor the movement, and when the time comes for WC people to overtly abandon the GNU
in unison.... often brought on by a radical socio-economic shock, they will again enter the fray to co-opt the rising popularity within the CIM.
Some members in the CIM are aware of this overarching play for control through co-option. Others are not yet. Likely many will leave paying due diligence too late.
