In 2023 worldwide advertisers spent approximately $30 billion on influencer marketing. The Biden Administration and the political parties have also spent undisclosed millions on this practice with hired employees in charge of procuring results. The practice of social engineering results through influence culture is no longer limited to advertisers. Religion and politics are now reaching out and marketing themselves and their message.

During the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton spent $80 million on social media. Now the Catholic Church and other denominations seem to be joining the trend of marketing to a broader audience to spread their message.  Russell Brand, the English comedian and actor, just publicly stated he was baptized as a Catholic. Candace Owens also posted in the same time frame with positive press for the church. Could this be the price that they are willing to pay for your soul?

The influence culture is not new, advertisers have understood the importance and lobbied for human attention for hundreds of years. The covert nature is now slicker and with more reach. Soros and Rockefeller groups are now allegedly being tied to funding protestors on college campuses. The organic rise of protest and influence cannot be distinguished between paid advertisers and concerned citizens.

There is no price to steep for their agenda, and they believe you can be bought.
