CROWDFUNDED DOGE: THE PLAN TO UNLEASH DOZENS OF NICK SHIRLEYS ACROSS AMERICA
Nick Shirley's Minnesota daycare investigation hit 124 million views in less than 4 days and exposed millions in alleged welfare fraud.

Now Silicon Valley wants to scale the model nationwide.

Chamath Palihapitiya just backed the idea of a crowdfunded grant program to unleash "tens of investigative journalists" on fraud across blue states, starting with California.

The concept: create a decentralized DOGE-like network of citizen journalists funded by tech investors, supported by private investigators, and aimed at systematically documenting fraud across blue states.

Think of it as Elon's DOGE operation, but crowdsourced and hyper-focused on state-level corruption instead of federal waste.

The strategy is simple: flood the news cycle with so many documented fraud cases that traditional media can't ignore them and Democrats can't counter the narrative fast enough.

One hoodie-wearing journalist with a camera just reached more people than every major news network combined.

Now imagine dozens doing the same thing simultaneously across multiple states.

This is launching with the midterms in mind, designed to overwhelm whatever narrative control corporate media still has.

Shirley proved the model works. Now the question is whether Silicon Valley backing can turn one viral investigation into a coordinated nationwide blitz.
