How Much Does Paid Protest/Crowd-On-Demand
Service Cost?
Posted By: earlybird, 1/19/2026 2:13:43 PM
Public demonstration has a real economy behind it, from legitimate event staffing for brand launches to controversial “crowd-for-hire” campaigns that simulate grassroots support. Readers search for “paid protest cost” or “crowd-for-hire pricing” because they want price clarity, legal context, and a sense of how these services operate. This piece explains what has been publicly reported about costs and how those figures fit inside legal and reputational guardrails. It also separates lawful event staffing from tactics marketed as protest-on-demand, which raise serious ethical questions and legal risk.

write to you from snowcapped Switzerland. Every January, I make the trek for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) high in the Alps at Davos, where pretentious billionaires, the politicians they own, and WEF groupies gather to celebrate themselves in what I imagine the Oscars might have been like if the Nazis had hosted them at the Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden:
“And zee vinner for zee most forced vaxi-nashuns goes to…”

the heart of a brick building on the street of Cuchilleros, the “knifemakers,” in Madrid, a fire burns. It has burned there continuously for 300 years. When Napoleon invaded Spain in 1808, the fire had already been lit for 83 years. When the Spanish Civil War rocked the streets of Madrid in the 1930s, damaging one of the balconies of the old brick building, the flame smoldered on. Even when all the world was quarantined during COVID-19, the fire in this building continued, quietly, to glow.
The fire in question is the oven flame of the world’s oldest restaurant according to the Guinness World Records—Sobrino de Botín—and it forms the establishment’s

ADAMUZ, Spain - Experts probing the cause of Sunday's derailment of a high-speed train in Spain, which killed at least 39 people, found a broken joint on the rails, according to a source briefed on initial investigations into the disaster. The derailed carriages smashed into an oncoming train, pushing it off the tracks and down an embankment in one of the worst train disasters in Europe in modern times. . The accident happened near Adamuz in the southern province of Cordoba, about 360 km (220 miles) south of the capital Madrid.
BLACKWELL, Okla.—When Oklahoma legalized medical marijuana on June 26, 2018, many people were hopeful that it would stimulate the economy while helping eligible patients.
They expected the 7 percent excise tax and state and local property taxes on sales to bring in more money for schools and infrastructure, create new jobs, and help the economy thrive.
Few people expected organized crime to rise to the levels it has, according to Mark Woodward, public information officer for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics.
The US Pentagon has ordered about 1500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, the Washington Post reports, citing defence officials.

Political commentator Tim Pool described the escalating violence surrounding federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis as “terrorism,” warning that the situation has moved far beyond protests or riots and now poses a serious threat to federal agents and public safety.
Pool made the remarks during an exchange with Fox News host Jesse Watters, who raised concerns about the broader implications of the unrest.
An illegal alien from Venezuela violently attacked an ICE agent on Wednesday during a targeted arrest in Minneapolis, using a “shovel” or “broom.” Two other individuals also took part in attacking the officer. Fearing for his life, the agent fired a single defensive shot, striking the illegal alien in the leg. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that if you read coverage from the propaganda press.
The incident unfolded around 6:50 p.m. CT in Minneapolis when federal law enforcement officers “were conducting a targeted traffic stop … of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a

Act — a Bill to Strip Citizenship from Fraudsters 10 replies
The proposal, set to be introduced by House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), would strip citizenship from naturalized individuals convicted of fraud and other serious offenses, as scrutiny grows over widening allegations of fraudulent activity tied to Minnesota.
The bill is bluntly titled the “Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation Act” — aka the SCAM Act — and it would clarify what evidence the federal government can use to prove someone didn’t meet lawful requirements at the time they became a U.S. citizen.
Under the legislation, the government could seek to denaturalize anyone who, within 10 years of naturalization, is convicted of fraud against the government,
As the Minneapolis mob and their fellow privileged leftists protest and hold signs declaring, “Renee Good, ICE Bad,” Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents continue to do the hard, thankless work of removing “the worst of the worst” criminal illegal immigrants from crime-battered communities across the country.
On Thursday, the roundup included perps convicted of sexual abuse of children, sexual exploitation of a minor, and aggravated assault, according to the latest Department of Homeland Security report exclusively provided to The Federalist.
The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.

In the days since Renee Good tried to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis and was shot and killed by an ICE officer, the liberal media has found yet another offensive word to whinge over.
“The far-right has coined a new derogatory term for white women, which has gained traction following the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, in Minneapolis earlier this month,” reports The Independent. The objectionable term is the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Another variant is AWFL. The New York Times was the first paper to report on this new “offensive” term.

Anti-ICE protest disrupted a Sunday church service in Minneapolis after a group of activists entered a congregation and forced worship to stop, according to footage shared online.
The incident occurred at Cities Church, a Southern Baptist Convention congregation, where protesters stormed into the sanctuary chanting anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement slogans. The group alleged that one of the church’s lead pastors was affiliated with ICE, a claim the protesters repeated while interrupting the service.
Video from inside the church shows congregants visibly shaken with the service ultimately being shut down. It is unclear how the protesters obtained the information that led them to target the church.

Licenses from ICE Agents if Elected Governor 29 replies
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) vowed that if elected to be the next governor of California, he would take away driver’s licenses from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
While speaking at an event by the Empowerment Congress, Swalwell was asked about his plan to “protect” people in the state from ICE agents, according to Mediaite.
Swalwell explained that he would “direct law enforcement” officials to use “every power to prosecute” ICE officials for “battery, false imprisonment, and murder,” according to the outlet.
“They’re gonna lose their immunity,” Swalwell said. “They’re not going to be able to drive, I will take your driver’s license. Good luck walking to work, a**holes.”
MINNEAPOLIS -- Rows of businesses stood shuttered inside a sprawling complex of Somali businesses on a recent afternoon. Karmel Mall in south Minneapolis contains more than a hundred small businesses in suites offering everything from clothing and food to insurance and accounting services. On Thursday, the noisy hallways inside lay quiet, save for occasional chatter between neighboring vendors. The smell of fried food still wafted from the bakeries, the central heating hummed and the sound of Quran recitation flowed quietly from some shops. But many sellers sat alone in their clothing stores, waiting for the occasional customer to walk by. Everyone
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed that Democrats would “restore most of the cuts” that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had made.
While taking part in a discussion at the Center for American Progress, Schumer received a question about what he “can do about bringing” the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) back, after DOGE came in and made cuts.
“If you look at the budget actually, we’re working on right now — and we’ll have the T-HUD budget, you know, transportation and HUD budget, we restore most of the cuts and even go higher than previous years on many of the programs that DOGE slashed,” Schumer responded.
RINO Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE) floated the idea of impeaching President Trump if he invades Greenland.
“I would lean that way,” he said of supporting an impeachment over Greenland. “The off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren’t going to tolerate this and he’s going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm.”
Bacon announced his retirement from Congress last July, and he’s eying impeachment as his final act.
Bacon also co-sponsored a bill with Democrats to curb Trump’s power and prevent a military invasion of Greenland, which Trump has not expressed plans for.
No politician is more of an enigma than Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
For years she has been rumored to have married her brother – allegations she has called 'absurd and offensive'. Her family fortunes, steered by her white, American husband, have curiously skyrocketed to $30million.
And more recently, her Minneapolis community has been mired in shocking fraud allegations.But even more disconcerting is the question about her citizenship.
Is Ilhan Omar really an American?
Even after a lawyer representing Becca Good confirmed the pair were not married, news outlets and social media influencers refuse to correct the inaccurate portrayal of a "bereaved widow." (snip) Sticking with the lie that Renee and Becca were married is a critical part of the overall false narrative of their actions that day(snip)[:] A happy lesbian married couple had just dropped their young son off at school when they just happened upon an ICE operation in their community so they exercised their First Amendment rights at that moment to express their displeasure with illegal immigrant removals. But every aspect of that sympathy-promoting hagiography is untrue.

What would the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. have to say about his country’s contentious racial landscape on this, his 97th birthday?
America is a far different place from the nation that saw King felled by an assassin’s bullet in 1968 at the young age of 39; different even from the country that made this a federal holiday in 1983.
Black Americans still face real inequities. Look at the huge numbers of crime victims, disproportionately black, generated by terrible progressive policies on public safety.
Or the decay of America’s public schools, once an engine of black social mobility:
Left wing podcaster Jennifer Welch recently spoke with former CNN hack Jim Acosta and provided a preview of what Democrats will do if and when they retake power.
Welch has not given up on the far left dream of prosecuting and jailing President Trump. She thinks the same should happen to Elon Musk and various other people in their orbit.
She is predicting a vicious future, in which Democrats get Trump and others to ‘admit their crimes’ and pay a price for them so that the country can ‘reconcile.’
