Unmasked: Secretive Arabella Advisors Really Behind ‘Grassroots’ Protest Movement Opposing Tru

The following article is sponsored by Capital Research Center.

An organization that leads the protest movement against President Trump’s judicial nominees and presents itself as grassroots is really the project of Arabella Advisors, a largely unknown, massively funded strategy company pushing the interests of wealthy leftist donors.

These and other revelations were documented in an extensive exposé by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center, which traced Arabella’s vast network and unmasked a shadowy system of pop-up groups designed to look like grassroots activist organizations developed by, housed in, and staffed by the for-profit, privately held Arabella Advisors.

As previously reported here, the Arabella firm manages four nonprofits: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund. These nonprofit entities play host to hundreds of groups and projects that promote interests and political movements strategically deployed in a long-term campaign to nudge the country to the left.

A central component of Arabella’s activism is opposition to Trump’s conservative judicial nominees. One Arabella-tied organization calling itself Demand Justice quickly thrust itself into the center of opposition to Trump’s Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh. The Capital Research Center has explained that Demand Justice is actually a project of Arabella’s Sixteen Thirty Fund.

Even before Trump announced Kavanaugh as his nominee, Demand Justice, founded by former members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, committed to spending about $5 million to oppose the eventual pick.

Protesters at Demand Justice events brandished signs reading “Stop Kavanaugh,” “Stop Barrett,”

It’s fraud and money laundering. The Sierra Club does the same.

They're only fooling the brain dead with their "grassroots" facade. The differences are between a true grassroots movement and their astroturfing are stark. Real "grassroots" take time to find direction, gather resources, build momentum. These dark money outfits will come up with short notice, coordinated mass coverage across all media & social platforms, mobs of people with preprinted signs on-scene in just a few days if not a matter of hours for whatever outrage of the moment they choose to pursue. Way too obvious.
