Burkle and Sunshine go waaaay back-How did MM happen to select Sunshine Sachs?
I have attached an incredibly long and irrelevant federal court document about Sean Combs, the Citizen Change organization and the 2004 presidential election. The document is attached not for narrative, but for sourcing purposes.
The interesting part of the document to me is that Burkle bank rolled Sean Combs’ clothing company, Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment Group to the tune of $100 Million.
Combs, shortly after, founded Citizen Change-a nonprofit organization that encouraged 18-30 year olds to vote. Citizen Change got into trouble because per its nonprofit status, it was to remain nonpartisan.
But, repeatedly at rallies Combs, DiCaprio, Mary J. Blige and others campaigned for John Kerry then. And, the “nonprofit” shared the same address and phone number as BBWEG- a for profit company funded by Burkle.
Guess who the PR maverick was who was one of the architects for the Citizen Change movement, which was primarily a massive media plan? Yup. Ken Sunshine.
Citizen Change serreptitiously, and Ron Burkle directly, later supported massive democratic initiatives and HRC’s run at the Oval Office. Burkle has raised NINE FIGURES for those efforts.
Oh…and guess where Burkle and Combs met- at a party in the “Miami area.”
And one more “coincidence”…guess who Sean Combs sold half of his record company to in 2005…Warner Brothers Music- CEO was Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
It’s. All. Connected.

Thank you…because you are inside Tumblr it wouldn’t post…so I had to do it this way!
Very interesting…..thank you😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Geez…I was so tired last night that I forgot the other big connection we all know- since 1999 Peter Roth (hello, Lindsay’s uncle!!!) has been running Warner Brothers Television, alongside Bronfman.
What is one of the shows produced under Roth? The Ellen Degeneris Show. 🤨
As of August 2018, the divisions of the Warner Bros. Television Group combined are producing more than 100 programs for the U.S. broadcast networks as well as cable and subscription/on-demand platforms. That’s a lot of influence.
Oh and one more show green lighted by Roth and currently in its 5th season: Lucifer. It’s a show about Satan being the embodiment of evil, living in L.A., getting in touch with his softer side.
Lucifer…he’s just like us- a knucklehead trying to sort things out in this crazy world. Nothing to be worried about…relax…let your guard down…enjoy the show…🙄
