When I began a career of digging into the Left’s shadowy financiers, conservatives were losing the “dark money” war. Less than a decade later, it’s the Left facing extinction — and no one’s more astonished by the turnaround than I am.
In August, news came that the Gates Foundation — one of the world’s largest mega-funders of “progressive” political schemes — was quietly defunding Arabella Advisors, the dark money ATM that’s benefitted from over half a billion dollars from Gates since 2009. Armed with billions, the Arabella network exploits our nonprofit charity laws to agitate for D.C. statehood, pack the Supreme Court, and fund Democrat voter drives — all under the guise of philanthropy, and entirely tax-free.

Anyone familiar with the structure of the post-Obama Democratic Party knows it’s captured by the activist class, or what insiders call “the groups.” Their domination arguably peaked in 2020, when devious nonprofiteers handed Joe Biden the presidency with their “permanent campaign” model: A combination of partisan Zuck bucks, microtargeted voter registration, and get-out-the-vote drives in blue precincts. Much of it was funded and influenced by Arabella.

Now, however, party strategists are blaming the groups for leading them into the political wilderness, and Democrats’ once-respectable financiers are trying to wriggle out of the crosshairs, beginning with the Gates Foundation. They won’t be the last to denounce Arabella.

One possibility. They may give up on the Left (for the time being).
So they will fund the GOP.
Before Trump, we had Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. Basically, they were puppets for corporations.
I predict it will be like that again.
“I predict it will be like that again.”
It still is right now. Their continuity of global government has not stopped. Just different actors appointed to play the parts.
Two other major threads to follow in addition to the green weenies.
Animal rights groups who get their money in large part from ASPCA and related groups, but this is shrunken from their large overhead from operating animal shelters. Money only flows in the direction of the most extreme, but this strand uses a lot of it keeping themselves in business on each step of the ladder.
Criminal rights groups are another obvious and large source of funds. This set of groups has much like the wymyns rights groups burned a lot of good will and bridges with the political center.
No one was able to stand up to the Deep State except for Trump.
“No one was able to stand up to the Deep State except for Trump.”
If you believe he is actually succeeding with this then you do not understand how it truly works...
✅ and ✅
He’s on the right path towards solving a very thorny problem.
“He’s on the right path towards solving a very thorny problem.”
On the surface that is what it appears like to both him and us both, his intentions are good. The problems are the goals under the surface that he is actually helping to facilitate inadvertently. To truly understand it one would have to broaden their scope of understanding the real global hierarchy and end goals. We are thinking too small and not seeing the bigger picture. There is much much more to it than just the left and the local domestic deepstate.
I wonder just how long this arabella group has truly been around, and how long the NGO’s have been screwing up this country
She seems to have a type: skinny, dweeby Jewish guys. This one does have more money than the last one.
Hi, Frax!
Long time no see... hope you are fine.
And you think Trump doesn't see that, but you do? (follow-up comment redacted)
Not from what I see. He is falling right into the trap...
Contrary to popular belief, Trump is not an all seeing infallible god. He is like any other man, he is not perfect and has his weaknesses. And his is that he is too susceptible to the power of suggestion from those who would steer him wrong. And they are.
You need to march yourself right over to the White House and straighten him out, then, Karen.
“Karen”?
And there is the childish cult hate. No need for that immature dig. Why? Because I just happen to be more grounded in reality than most? Because you want me to think just like you and I don’t? Because I have an independent opinion now and then that is contrary to the herd mentality and group think? Because I do not bow to Trump as a god and occasionally question some of his actions? Because I question the integrity of those around him?
You do realize that chastising me for not thinking the exact way you want me to think or the herd thinks is a leftist tactic and ideology right? To do so and then call me a Karen is hypocrisy.
Trump is the best thing that has happened to this country since Reagan, but he is just a man and imperfect and fallible like any other man. We have every right to occasionally question his actions. And we especially have a right to question those around him and what THEIR intentions are.
Aside from the fact there is more to this whole situation that is on level you would not even comprehend. I have explained it over and over and over and still very very few actually comprehend the true reality and scope of it. Most peak at a certain level and just cannot think past that level... They have limited their own scope of understanding.
The mark of a truly intelligent person is that they know they don’t know all that there is to know. Some of the smartest people you’ll ever meet are humble and unassuming, always eager to learn more, and rarely overtly competitive with others because they know that everyone has a different set of inputs, connections, experience, and some useful knowledge. Just an observation.
