For this story, we tip our hat to long-time Libertarian activist Jake Porter.
In Washington, D.C., there is a non-profit corporation “Rescue the West”. It was formed in July of this year. Courtesy of Bizapedia we can give you some information about it.
Of particular interest is the one contact on record, this being one Angela McArdle of Washington D.C. From the business contacts, this appears to be the Angela McArdle who is National Chair of the Libertarian Party.
Business contacts? There were a series of donations to Rescue the West. American Values 2024 sent $20,000 on 9/5/24 and a further $130,000 on 9/10/24. The Kennedy Victory Fund sent $25,000 on 9/20/2024. The MAHA Alliance, which is another Robert Kennedy Group, send $200,000 on 9/23/24 and another $300,000 on 9/25/2024. The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) PAC sent $1,000 on 9/27/2024. We gather that a final donation of $100,000 was made on 11/15/2024. That’s a total of $776,000, all to a non-profit whose contact is one Angela McArdle.
Curiously, McArdle did not divulge a related conflict of interest — a large amount of money from groups controlled by the next Secretary of Health and Human Services, one Robert Kennedy, going to a non-profit for which McArdle is the known contact.
The issue was raised at the recent LNC meeting, by comments on the YouTube of the livestream, as seen in the next image
In the image, the young lady on the left is an LNC member. Note in particular the questions from Chance Haywood and from The Liberty Sentries. And what was the fate of the questions? I gather that they tended to be deleted.
She’s raised over 1.2 million. None of which went to Lp. None of is disclosed to LNC. Angela McArdle is completely corrupt as Chair (no comment about rest of her life). Her fellow enablers on LNC, some of whom are attorneys, are in very murky waters. And the chickens will come home to roost.
Jake Porter has all evidence. There may be even more.
The grift must continue!
Remember when Heise told Reason TV “by our fruits they will know us”?
I believe enough time has passed to say that fruit is rotten to the core!
This just keeps getting better and better!
The LP put out an email using LP list without authorization from LNC or sponsorship for Rescue the Republic which had a donation link. You raise very good questions that should come up in litigation. Where did that money go? Is there another group? This is beyond corrupt.
I looked at that email and there is no donation link to Rescue the Republic but to the LNC in the form of buying merch. The pretext of the email is to invite Libertarian members to network with like-minded people at the event.

Join the Resistance had a donate link and it was a Trump rally.
This is an astonishingly large amount of money. They always say follow the money, which you are certainly doing.
This raises so many questions. It is hard to list them all. Assuming that this is accurate, and I seriously doubt that you would have written this without a high level of confidence that it is, an obvious question becomes where the money went from there. What was it used for and who benefited from it? I suspect that we can all guess the likely answer to that.
How can she imagine getting away with this?
The numbers and sources are straight off the FEC filings. Confidence is quite high.
I have tried to find Rescue the West Inc. There is very little information about it.
The only reference I could find was their join the resistance site, where she is listed as a founder. But they don’t call it rescue the west. It now seems to be called rescue the republic.
The site is stale, listing an upcoming September 2024 event and nothing more recent that I could find.
I wonder if there are also donations to rescue the republic, and if another nonprofit with that name also exists.
Looks like someone may have a really good shell game set up.

Non-profits are required by law to open their financial records to the public. So if anyone here really wants to know what is going on with it file an open records request on it.
