‘Shadowy’ dark money network behind left-wing causes exposed in new report
Faux News ^ | April 17, 2019 | Adam Shaw

An expansive network of “shadowy” dark money donors has grown to rival the influence of the conservative Koch brothers -- pumping millions into left-wing causes ranging from health care to climate change to abortion -- all while flying well under the radar of public scrutiny, according to an explosive new report obtained by Fox News.

The report, by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center, describes a band of nonprofits operating under the banner of Washington-based philanthropy company Arabella Advisors. Those “pop up groups” are housed in four Arabella-controlled “sister” nonprofits, according to the report: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund and Windward Fund.

“Together, these groups form an interlocking network of 'dark money' pop-up groups and other fiscally sponsored projects, all afloat in a half-billion-dollar ocean of cash,” the report says. “The real puppeteer, though, is Arabella Advisors, which has managed to largely conceal its role in coordinating so much of the professional Left’s infrastructure under a mask of ‘philanthropy.’”

the influence of the conservative Koch brothers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Koch brothers are the main financiers of the Cheap Labor Express, nothing conservative about that.

Stopped reading right there - Kochs are not playing for Team Conservatism.

The Sixteen Thirty Fund, according to a July 2018 Politico report, was described as “among the most prolific political advertisers of 2018” and aired 6,885 broadcast TV ads between January and July while spending $4.6 million on TV alone.

The life blood of the liberal media. Without this funding the media companies would all collapse!

When the Left set up a terrible wail about Republican Dark Money that was an ironclad indication that Democrats were getting a whole lot of Dark Money. In their worldview it is correct for them to scream about Republicans getting dark money because they are doing it big time and they cannot imagine Republicans NOT doing it. It is right and just for the Left to use any means available to get financing for their projects and absolutely evil that any money at all should go to others. There is no hypocrisy here.

“Grown to rival the Koch brothers”???

As if the Dems weren’t ahead on this count all along!!!

I saw that James Murdoch had donated the personal max to Buttigieg, so I guess we ought to get used to more of this kind of Fox News spin...
