Top 20 Arabella Network Revelations: A Tax-Exempt Political Leviathan - The Tax-Exempt Puppeteers Pulling America's Political Strings
directorblue.substack.com ^ | 9 Mar, 2025 | Doug Ross

In an era when most Americans struggle to understand why their $50 political donations barely make a dent, a sprawling network of tax-exempt organizations has built a political Death Star hiding in plain sight. Arabella Advisors, through its nonprofit subsidiaries, has constructed the most powerful political machine in American history—operating with billions in "dark money" while exploiting the very tax code everyday citizens fund.

The following are 20 revelations exposing not just the scale of this operation, but the breathtaking cynicism with which it manipulates public opinion, election outcomes, and policy decisions while masquerading as charitable work.

1. Billions in "Dark Money" Outpacing Political Parties

Arabella's network raised $2.4 billion in the 2020 election cycle, dwarfing both major political parties combined. Could they BE any more secretive with money that makes traditional political spending look like what I found between my couch cushions?

2. Fake Grassroots "Pop-Ups" Everywhere

The Sixteen Thirty Fund creates temporary "grassroots" organizations that vanish after completing specific missions. These tax-exempt fronts manipulate public opinion while masquerading as local movements.

3. Funding Supreme Court Protests

Demand Justice spent millions opposing Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation with aggressive campaigns funded through tax-exempt channels. So basically, they're using YOUR tax dollars to throw temper tantrums outside the Supreme Court... could that BE any more ironic?

4. Zuck Bucks' Election Meddling

Arabella channeled $25 million to a group that received $350 million from Mark Zuckerberg to "administer" 2020 elections in key districts. Tax-exempt dollars quietly transformed local election offices into partisan tools.

5. Foreign Billionaires Pulling Levers

Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has pumped at least $208 million into the Sixteen Thirty Fund, exploiting tax laws to influence American politics. I'm not saying it's suspicious, but if there were a "How To Avoid Campaign Finance Laws For Dummies," this would be chapter one.

6. Pushing D.C. Statehood for Senate Seats

The North Fund's campaign fights for D.C. statehood to secure additional Democratic Senate seats. This power play operates behind the shield of 501(c)(4) anonymity.

7. Abolishing the Electoral College

Just Democracy uses tax-exempt funding to advocate for eliminating the Electoral College and other structural changes. Americans are essentially financing efforts to alter the system that gives their votes meaning.

8. Banning Gas Stoves

The Windward Fund provided $2.2 million to a group working to ban gas stoves under climate action pretenses. Oh great, now they're coming for my kitchen appliances... because THAT'S the pressing issue of our time!

9. Fake Local News Outlets

Arabella bankrolls "local news" sites that push progressive narratives while appearing independent. These propaganda outlets operate with tax advantages while masquerading as grassroots journalism.

10. $410 Million to Oust Trump

The Sixteen Thirty Fund spent $410 million in 2020 on efforts to defeat Donald Trump and flip the Senate. This tax-exempt tsunami operated largely unseen by the public whose tax dollars subsidized it.

11. Climate Lawfare on Steroids

Tax-exempt millions fund environmental groups waging legal battles against fossil fuels. The green agenda's fundraising strategy is about as transparent as the air in downtown Beijing.

12. CRT in Schools

Campaign for Our Shared Future defends Critical Race Theory in education using tax-exempt funding. Parents remain largely unaware their tax dollars fuel this ideological battle.

13. Abortion Rights Blitz

In 2022, $20 million in tax-exempt funds went toward ballot initiatives securing abortion rights. This calculated donor-driven campaign operated hidden from public scrutiny.

14. Targeting Interior Secretary Zinke

An Arabella pop-up operating from a Montana UPS mailbox helped oust Trump's Interior Secretary using tax-exempt millions. The operation was executed with such secrecy that the IRS probably still thinks it's delivering packages.

15. Voter Registration for Democrats

The New Venture Fund received $7 million to target registration efforts in Democratic-leaning demographics. This partisan voter targeting operates under the guise of civic duty.

16. Anti-Election Fraud Smokescreen

The Voting Rights Lab Action combats voter ID laws with tax-exempt resources. In their world, asking for ID is apparently more suspicious than anonymous billions influencing elections.

17. Medicare for All Propaganda

Tax-exempt millions fund campaigns promoting Medicare for All, drowning out balanced debate. The average taxpayer unknowingly subsidizes this push for healthcare system overhaul.

18. Coordinating the Left's Ground Game

The Sixteen Thirty Fund provided $27 million to America Votes, linking progressive organizations to boost Democratic turnout. This tax-sheltered political machine operates largely invisible to most Americans.

19. Paying Itself Millions

Arabella's nonprofits funneled $52 million back to Arabella Advisors for "management services" in 2022 alone. So they're basically giving themselves money with tax benefits... which is like me writing myself a check from my roommate's account and calling it a "friendship fee."

20. Biden's Policy Ghostwriters

Governing for Impact quietly drafts and defends Biden administration regulations with tax-exempt resources. This shadow government operation bypasses Congress while operating on taxpayer subsidies.

This Top 20 list isn’t just about political disagreements—it represents a fundamental corruption of our tax system and democratic processes.

When foreign billionaires can pull American policy levers through tax-exempt channels, when "charitable" organizations can funnel millions back to themselves, and when massive election influence operations receive the same tax treatment as your local food bank, the system isn't just broken—it's being exploited by design.

Reform must start with transparency: Americans deserve to know who's spending billions to shape their elections and politics. This is where the great work of DOGE comes in.

We deserve to know where our tax dollars are going.

Tax-exempt status should be reserved for genuine charities, not partisan warfare machines funded by you and I.

The DOJ needs to do a deep dive on Arabella activities and their funding sources.

It’s way past time to stop this. As long as this exists there is no such thing as ‘one person, one vote’.

They didn't get all they wanted, but that the House was even close shows that it still works to a lesser degree. I wouldn't be so confident going into 2026.

Problem is, people on the left are of a hive mind.
People on the right are individuals who just want to be left alone.
I don’t see how this ends without at least some violence towards
people who won’t mind their own business. Why would it stop otherwise?

The leftists continue to give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

The whole tale of FOR-PROFIT Arabella advising non-profits is most complex and profound, including the manipulation of the public.

The whole of the WIKI is worth reading through, BUT the following in pertinent to this forum:

Editing of Wikipedia page
In June 2020, Arabella came under scrutiny for hiring a paid editor to request edits to their Wikipedia page, with the edit request being reported by multiple news sources.

Arabella Advisors

Given some of the antics by some who comment on this forum, it would not surprise to find some are here in like manner.

The whole WIKI article is very interesting, as is the article by Doug Ross. Only a post away, revelations about ActBlue are also being seen. The powerful, worldwide, want us to "comply" with many things. A secular Islam, so to speak.

And as they do this, the elite in so many "charitable" non-profits pay themselves very well indeed. Government need prune both itself and these tax-exempt political actors.

“but that the House was even close”

It wasn’t so close. Numerous House seats lost by Reps, to endless counting of votes and delays in final reporting until dems stole seats knowing no reprocussion.

While I agree with you about the history of leftist vote fraud (particularly in California), until we fix the voting system every win in every race has to be "too big to rig." Hence, the House will stay close or even go negative until then.

Also time to investigate how members of Congress like former barmaid AOC and former hippy Bernie Sanders became multimillionaires while serving in Congress.
