News broke recently that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation would sever ties with the shadowy consulting firm Arabella Advisors and its “nonprofit network closely associated with the Democratic Party.”
The Arabella network has received over $450 million in grants from Gates over the years, so this announcement comes as a devastating blow to Arabella’s billion-plus dollar network. But it may also be a sign that our hyper-politicized charitable sector has reached an inflection point. An institutional realignment may be coming that will leave the left in the lurch and change American philanthropy for the better.
My organization was the first outlet to reveal to the public the existence of Arabella Advisors and its network of in-house nonprofits. We literally wrote the book on Arabella — a book that features Bill Gates on its cover.
Our research, and that of many allies, dragged Arabella into the daylight, and Arabella has struggled with the unwelcome publicity. In a few short years Arabella has let go two CEOs (one shortly after she admitted to a reporter that Arabella was the “left’s equivalent of the [conservative] Koch brothers”), undergone an investigation from the D.C. attorney general, initiated a round of layoffs, and still faces a lawsuit from a woman apparently fired after she objected to what she viewed as a range of illegal activities.
Even though Arabella has built the largest “dark money” network anywhere on the political spectrum, donors have thus far continued to use it as a vehicle for more traditional apolitical charity as well. This provides Arabella’s political machine with a reliable cushion of consulting fees to get through the non-election years. This pattern repeats across the charitable sector.

Remember how much better Vegas was when it was run by the Mafia...?
I’m not sure when the Mafia ended its involvement in Vegas. I do know that in the ‘70s and early ‘80s it was a great place to visit. Then we went in 1996, and left early because it was so awful.
Y’know, your tag line is coming to pass... :-)
I thought the name rang a bell. Get a load of this...

She has given away in the range of $20 billion to several hundred non-profits with a focus on racial equality, LGBTQ+ equality, democracy, climate change, and Black, Hispanic, and Tribal, colleges and universities.
Gates knows DOJ is on his trail.

Donors have thus far continued to use it as a vehicle for more traditional apolitical charity.
Sounds like a tax dodge and a front to funnel cash to the Bolsheviks.
It’s more of a declaration that I don’t know everything But The Truth is out there.
