Approximately 6.5 terabytes of data from the interconnected companies Psyclone Media and Political Media in addition to client data such as The Post Millennial, acting as their "face to the political world". Political Media describes itself as a "right of center new media consulting firm" for political and public relations campaigns and is a co-owner of Psyclone Media and Psyclone Hosting. The companies provide website, email and marketing services, in addition to video production and SEO optimization through their "cooperative partners".

Psyclone Media and Political Media's clients have included political action committees (PACs) and Super PACs, congressional candidates and other political organizations including the Tea Party, as well as conservative media figures and outlets such as Parler, Tucker Carlson, and The Washington Times. Their formal campaigns have promoted use of raw milk and disputed the narrative around the 2012 Benghazi attack, in addition to the narratives promoted by their clients through the "Conservative Stack" service, a content management service catering to conservative users.

Its not even about taxes but straight up class warfare. Lately billionaires noticed that they are not as untouchable as they thought they were and now they're aligned to fix this.

There's no class war, at least not in a country like the US: for there to be a war the other side would have to be fighting which they're not, and the billionaires have been into the pillaging stage of their conquest for decades and are just using information control, populism and rage-baiting to make sure the riff-raff remain out of their way.

Things are well beyond the "elites" merely taking an unfairly outsided cut of the growth and well into taking from the rest that which they and their parents accumulated, hence why quality of life for the majority has been going down for a while now and the last two Generations are set to be worse off than their parents.
