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.

Don’t spin this. YOU confronted me first... I was simply defending my extensive well researched knowledge about this particular topic.
Pro tip: just put the knowledge out there and let others rebut or support about the topic, not about who is smarter after announcing that, of course, you are. Just debate the topic.
“Pro tip: just put the knowledge out there and let others rebut or support about the topic, not about who is smarter after announcing that, of course, you are. Just debate the topic.”
And here is a pro tip for you in return. If you want to have an intelligent productive discussion don’t begin it by going out of your way to chastise someone with rude with insulting biased nonobjective comments. Insulting comments just lower the level of conversation to 4th grade playground banter. Intelligent adults who want to actually solve problems do not do that.
I have put the knowledge out there for years now. And you obviously completely ignored it and refused to even read or consider it. That is not me, I tried but the firewalls shut it down. It was reality no one wanted to read so they covered their eyes and blocked it out with mental bias. There is nothing intelligent about shutting down and tuning out because you don’t want to hear reality.
Your loss, not mine... Actually it is this Republic’s loss... Because until folks become objective and take down the mental firewalls we are never going to get it back.
FR is not for sissies. Everyone needs a flameproof suit to post here. You can make allies through sound reasoning, not by complaining about your thoughts not getting the attention you believe you deserve. No one owes anyone anything here except that users respect the privilege and the rules, and donate to the FReepathon.
If your ideas are so good, run for office, or sign onto a campaign as a strategist. Good luck.

Ok, let’s consider that concept then. This might have something to do with the FACT that traffic, participation, and contributions are down. You haven’t read the comments about the rude hostile environment here and why people have stopped coming? I have, many of them, too many of them...
So if it is not for coming together and solving problems without conflict and infighting what is it for then? What is the purpose of it? Just to practice sadistic tendencies towards each and other and create strife among those who should be working together instead? For purists who pay for the chance to prove who can out Bully and abuse each other the best? A place for folks to see who can come up with the most derogatory names to call each other?
“Allies”? Are we at war with each other here? Are there battle lines and opposing foes here? Are we trying to drive away everyone who is not absolutely pure so that there are only five pure members left to donate? This disorganized dysfunctional chaotic infighting is exactly what the Globalists want. We are playing right into their hands when we do this. This is when we are supposed to be more intelligent than they are. The failure to see this and understand it is ignorance.
Again... Until we come together and try to solve the problems with this country using objective reasoning and mutual respect all we are doing is satisfying our own personal selfish fetishes and purism. This dysfunction and these mental firewalls of ignorance are never going to fix anything at all... Excommunicating or alienating everyone who is only 99% in agreement with what you want to hear as a purist is counter productive.
Look around you... It is dying, it is at risk... Everyone is trying to drive each other away. It is dysfunctional and self destructive.
Seek help for your despair. Time is precious. Other freepers are not responsible to read long screeds to heal you, although some will offer kind words if you haven’t already repelled them with your claims that no one else can see the big picture but you, and that this place isn’t up to your standards. Find someplace that meets your needs.
And so you double down... It was predictable. Spinning it 180 from what it is again. You attack me with nastiness and then claim to be the victim, and now hinting I am the one with a mental issue and the one in the wrong and should leave.
Hey, I didn’t come looking for you, you came looking for me, and now you are trying to say that I have to let folks like you insult me and never talk back and never defend myself. Reminds me of my fourth grade teacher... Shut up... Sit down... Just welcome your oppression... Or leave the Classroom... lol
I could not misconstrue and twist a conversation into that kind of dishonest direction even if I tried... And that is exactly why people are leaving here. Good for you, keep doing it and there will be no one left. But that is just fine because only purists belong here anyhow right?
