“GPS—Here we go again, there were 20,189 devices. Still a large crowd but not even close to the 30,000 quoted in Denver newspapers nor the 34,000 quoted by Bernie Sanders and AOC.

84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests, 31% had attended over 20.

For more insight into what data we also look at in addition to GPS location data would be demographic and psychographic data using over 6,000 different databases, i.e., like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Pew Research Center, market research firms like YouGov, Experian, specialized tools like ESRI's Tapestry Segmentation, consumer surveys, social media platforms like 𝕏, Facebook, Linkedin.

Demographic data includes basic characteristics like age, gender, income, education level, occupation, marital status, family size, ethnicity, and where people live (e.g., city, state).

Psychographic data dives deeper into people's lifestyles, values, attitudes, interests, personality traits, social class, activities, and how they make purchasing decisions. For example, it might show if someone values sustainability, enjoys outdoor activities, participates in community activism.

While demographic data is straightforward, psychographic data can reveal sensitive personal details, like beliefs even life goals.

Additionally, by cross pollinating each device with other devices regularly within close proximity to the target device we are able to build a detailed profile for each target.

90% of those in the above 84% were likely working with one of these five groups and is the reason for their presence.

Once again, this is based a very sophisticated algorithm that looks at the behavioral metrics for each device, including the physical 1:1 proximity to leaders and paymasters from these groups in the past.

The data is probably accurate for the parameters used. The money part is extremely dubious.

The real takeaway is if this kind of data is available to the public to acquire, what does the government have and how sophisticated is it.

Hey Democrats, consider my feedback for you as a service. I’m am highlighting why your party is failing and your popularity both inside and out are falling to historic lows. Maybe learn something?

Maybe voters and the electorate are smart enough to see through the obvious schemes of manipulation that these “rallies” represent.

People don’t like being manipulated. It does not help your cause. Maybe stop listening to the thespians among you and start getting real.

Harris was a phony. Bernie is a fraud. AOC is a few marbles short of a full sack.

Find a real genuine candidate and get behind them if you want to win in 2028. Enough with the radicals.

2. Claim About Attendee Demographics: 84% Linked to Specific Movements

• What the Post Says: 84% of the devices had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/BLM, pro-Hamas, or pro-Palestinian protests, with 31% attending over 20 such events. Seruga claims this is based on demographic and psychographic data from over 6,000 databases, including sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Pew Research, and social media platforms.
• Analysis:
  • Feasibility of Tracking: GPS data can indeed track device movements over time, as described in the Wikipedia entry on GPS (web:0). Modern GPS receivers use algorithms to estimate position, speed, and direction, and companies often cross-reference this with other data (e.g., social media activity, consumer surveys) to build profiles. Seruga’s mention of cross-pollinating device data with proximity to other devices to build profiles is a known technique in data analytics, often used for marketing or political profiling.
  • Data Sources: The post lists credible sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Pew Research, YouGov, and Experian, which are commonly used for demographic and psychographic analysis. However, these sources typically provide aggregated data, not individual device-level insights. Linking specific devices to attendance at rallies or protests would require access to granular location data, likely from mobile apps, cell towers, or data brokers—sources Seruga doesn’t explicitly mention.
  • Privacy and Accuracy Concerns: Psychographic data, as Seruga describes, can reveal sensitive details (e.g., political beliefs, activism history), but its accuracy depends on the quality of the data and the algorithms used. False positives are common in such analyses (e.g., a device near a protest might be flagged as a participant even if the person was just passing by). Additionally, privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or GDPR (for European data) impose restrictions on such tracking, raising questions about the legality and ethics of Seruga’s methods.
  • Specificity of the Claim: The 84% figure is very precise, but Seruga doesn’t provide raw data or methodology to verify it. Without transparency, it’s hard to assess whether this percentage is accurate or inflated to support a narrative. The claim that 31% attended over 20 events is similarly specific but unverified.
• Conclusion on Attendee Demographics: The claim is technically feasible given modern data analytics capabilities, but its accuracy is questionable without more transparency. The methodology Seruga describes (cross-referencing GPS data with demographic/psychographic databases) is plausible, but the lack of detail on data sources, algorithmic error rates, and legal compliance makes it hard to confirm. This part of the post should be treated with skepticism unless independently verified.

3. Claim About Activist Groups and Funding

• What the Post Says: 90% of the 84% (i.e., those linked to Harris rallies, antifa/BLM, etc.) were likely working with five groups: Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, Troublemakers, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). These groups are allegedly funded by ActBlue and, for at least three, by USAID. Seruga provides legal statuses for each group and claims this is based on a “very sophisticated algorithm” analyzing behavioral metrics and proximity to group leaders/paymasters.
• Context from Other Sources:
  • ActBlue: The Wikipedia entry (web:2) confirms ActBlue is a major Democratic fundraising platform, raising $13.7 billion for Democratic causes as of June 2024. It has been used by Sanders and AOC for grassroots fundraising and is known to support progressive causes. However, ActBlue has faced fraud allegations, with investigations in 2024 by Republican officials in Wyoming and Virginia, though experts doubt the veracity of these claims.
  • USAID: USAID is a U.S. government agency focused on international development, but it has been accused of funding domestic political activities, often in conservative critiques. No direct evidence from the provided sources confirms USAID funding these specific groups.
  • Indivisible Project: The Wikipedia entry (web:3) confirms Indivisible is a progressive 501(c)(4) organization founded in 2016 to resist Trump’s agenda. It has a history of grassroots activism, including advocating for Democratic policies and endorsing Biden in 2023.
  • Democratic Socialists of America (DSA): The DSA is a well-known 501(c)(4) socialist organization that supports progressive candidates like Sanders and AOC. It aligns with their anti-oligarchy, anti-authoritarian messaging.
  • Rise & Resist, Troublemakers, Disruption Project: These groups are less documented in the provided sources. Rise & Resist is a known progressive activist group, often involved in protests, and its 501(c)(4) status aligns with Seruga’s claim. Troublemakers and Disruption Project are less clear; Seruga’s claim that Disruption Project may be operating illegally suggests it might not be formally registered, but this is unverified.
• Analysis:
  • Funding by ActBlue: It’s plausible that these groups receive funding from ActBlue, given its role in Democratic fundraising. Sanders and AOC have historically used ActBlue (web:2), and the platform supports many progressive organizations. However, Seruga provides no direct evidence (e.g., financial records) to confirm this for the specific groups listed.
  • Funding by USAID: The claim that at least three groups receive USAID funding is more contentious. USAID typically funds international development, not domestic activism, and such funding would likely be controversial and well-documented. Without evidence, this claim seems speculative and aligns with conservative narratives about government overreach.
  • Affiliation with Attendees: The claim that 90% of the 84% were “likely working with” these groups is vague. Does “working with” mean formal employment, volunteering, or simply attending events? Seruga’s mention of proximity to “leaders and paymasters” suggests a network analysis approach, which is feasible but prone to errors (e.g., misidentifying casual attendees as affiliates). The “sophisticated algorithm” is not detailed, making it hard to evaluate its reliability.
  • Legal Statuses: Seruga’s listing of legal statuses (e.g., 501(c)(4) for Rise & Resist, Indivisible, and DSA) is mostly accurate based on public knowledge. However, the claim that Disruption Project is “likely operating illegally” is speculative without evidence of its activities or registration status.
• Conclusion on Activist Groups and Funding: The claim about ActBlue funding is plausible given its role in Democratic fundraising, but it’s unverified for these specific groups. The USAID funding claim lacks evidence and seems speculative. The assertion that 90% of the 84% were working with these groups is possible but relies on an opaque algorithm, making it hard to confirm. This part of the post is partially credible but requires more evidence to be fully substantiated.

---

---

Overall Assessment: Is This True?

• Crowd Size (20,189 Devices): Partially True. The 20,189 figure is plausible and aligns with conservative crowd size estimates, but it’s not definitive proof that Sanders/AOC exaggerated. Crowd size estimation is notoriously variable, and GPS data has limitations. The true number is likely between 11,000 and 34,000, with 20,189 being a reasonable estimate but not conclusive.
• Attendee Demographics (84% Linked to Movements): Unverified but Plausible. The methodology described is feasible, but the lack of transparency about data sources, algorithmic accuracy, and legal compliance makes it hard to confirm. This claim should be treated with skepticism unless independently verified.
• Activist Groups and Funding: Partially Plausible but Unverified. ActBlue funding for these groups is likely given its role in Democratic fundraising, but there’s no direct evidence. The USAID funding claim lacks support and seems speculative. The claim about attendees working with these groups is possible but relies on an opaque algorithm, making it hard to confirm.
• Overall Veracity: The post contains some plausible elements (e.g., crowd size estimate, ActBlue funding) but overreaches with unverified claims (e.g., USAID funding, precise attendee affiliations). It aligns with a conservative narrative questioning the authenticity of progressive movements, but without more evidence, it’s not fully credible.

---

Recommendation
To verify this post, you’d need:

1. Independent Crowd Size Data: Check additional sources (e.g., local police estimates, aerial imagery analysis) to confirm the 20,189 figure.
2. Transparency on Methodology: Seruga should provide more details on their GPS data sources, algorithm, and error rates.
3. Financial Records: Look for public records or FEC filings to confirm ActBlue funding for the named groups, and investigate USAID’s involvement (e.g., through FOIA requests or government reports).
4. Attendee Analysis: Independent researchers could survey rally attendees or analyze social media activity to verify their affiliations, though this would be resource-intensive.

For now, treat the post as a mix of plausible data and unverified claims, leaning toward a critical perspective on progressive activism. However, without more evidence, it’s not fully true.

The main point is that GPS data on anyone’s phone is not typically available without access via a third party app that a user has given permission to track them. It is in theory possible to compile such data from those apps (presuming users have given away that data to the app and the app company has then further licensed it on) but it is not exactly straightforward and I’m going to guess this guy is just making this up until proven otherwise.

If you’d keep up on things you would know even Ukrainians are getting they are a tool to bleed Russia to death. They need the war to last 3 more years.
