Good day all. Recently, I wrote about a CommuNazi demand<\/a> that Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh be fired from his teaching position at George Mason University. The officials told the twerps making the demands to go pound sand. However, during my research, I found out the leader of this plot was a Clintonista and was getting his financing from \u201cUnknown\u201d sources.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This type of financing is what the Progressives like to call \u201cDark Money.\u201d They use this term to attack anyone who might donate to causes that aren\u2019t supported by the Progressive Totalitarians of the Left. (Yes, I know. Repeating myself again) However, the Progressives don\u2019t like to talk about the fact they they also like having piles of cash given to them from unknown sources, and will deny that it happens and then promptly accuse the person talking about it of being a racist. However, some groups still think this is reporting on, and one of them is Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

An expansive network of \u201cshadowy\u201d dark money<\/a> donors has grown to rival the influence of the conservative Koch network \u2013 pumping millions<\/a> 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. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The report, by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center<\/a>, describes a band of nonprofits operating under the banner of Washington-based philanthropy company Arabella Advisors. Those \u201cpop up groups\u201d are housed in four Arabella-controlled \u201csister\u201d nonprofits, according to the report: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund and Windward Fund. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, 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,\u201d the report says. \u201cThe real puppeteer, though, is Arabella Advisors, which has managed to largely conceal its role in coordinating so much of the professional Left\u2019s infrastructure under a mask of \u2018philanthropy.\u2019\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Philanthropy is the last thing on the minds of these \u201cAnonymous\u201d donors. Gaining and keeping power and the ability to increase their wealth is more in tune with their goals.<\/p>\n

The report says the “hydra-like” network brought in $1.6 billion between 2013 and 2017 “to advance the political policies desired by wealthy left-wing interests,” as the network\u2019s revenues grew by 392 percent. The four Arabella-controlled \u201csister\u201d groups brought in $582 million in 2017 alone, according to the report. If the four groups were a single entity, it would make them the 22nd largest public charity in America, with higher revenues than the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Planned Parenthood or the Clinton Foundation. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe size and scope of the Arabella network of funds demonstrates far more \u2018dark money\u2019 exists on the left side of the political spectrum than has been previously admitted,\u201d the report says. <\/b><\/p>\n

And if the Progressives had their way, none of this information would have come out. While they state that their goal is to \u201cprovide strategic guidance for effective philanthropy\u201d and is \u201cdedicated to helping clients make a difference on the issues that matter most to them, from climate to women and girls, education, good food, and more.\u201d<\/b><\/i> the reality is very different.<\/p>\n

The report alleges the group blurs the line between philanthropy and political advocacy on issues such as ObamaCare, gun control, abortion and opposition to the confirmation of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. And it says that due to the financial arrangements and lack of donor disclosure, \u201cit is impossible to know which organization subsidizes the various campaigns and political movements spawned by Arabella\u2019s funds.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

And how might be the person who is responsible for this group of \u201cPhilanthropists?\u201d<\/p>\n

The company was founded by Eric Kessler, who has worked both in the Clinton administration, where he managed conservation issues, and as a member of the Clinton Global Initiative. He also founded the New Venture Fund and is on the board of the Sixteen Thirty Fund. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yep, once again we see the deep, corrupt hooks of Felonia von Pantsuit and Bubbah Horndog.<\/p>\n

The report claims the group runs a network of \u201castroturf\u201d activities including as many as 340 \u201cpop up\u201d groups — which the report says are often little more than websites created to give the appearance of grassroots campaigns. It cites the organization’s activities pushing back against Republican efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare as an example of its political activism. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAt a glance, these groups — such as Save My Care and Protect Our Care — appeared to be impassioned examples of citizen activists defending ObamaCare,\u201d the report says. \u201cIn reality, neither \u2018not-for-profit\u2019 advocacy group appears to have paid staff, held board meetings, or even owned so much as a pen.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

So these are nothing more than front groups and shell corporation, so to speak. Considering the mafia like way of thinking of most Progressives in the super rich category, this doesn\u2019t surprise me at all. Meanwhile, we circle back to Felonia von Pantsuit\u2019s former press secretary, Brian Fallon.<\/p>\n

Demand Justice, led by former Hillary Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon, is very active on judicial issues — and is more than just a website. But the report described the organization as part of the broader network, specifically \u201ca front for the Sixteen Thirty Fund.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

The Sixteen Thirty Fund, according to a July 2018 Politico report<\/a>, was described as \u201camong the most prolific political advertisers of 2018\u201d and aired 6,885 broadcast TV ads between January and July while spending $4.6 million on TV alone. Politico cited the group as an example of the left embracing the \u201cdark money\u201d tactics it long accused the right of weaponizing. <\/b><\/p>\n

Again, nothing to surprising. The Left is well known for \u201cProjecting\u201d on to others. By that I mean that they will always accuse others of doing what they\u2019re actually doing, primarily to throw suspicion on to those others. As I wrote in my previous post<\/a>, Fallon has been working to destroy Justice Kavanaugh and is being well paid to do it. Sadly for him, the people he has started attacking are no longer afraid of him, which is why Justice Kavanaugh is continuing in his teaching position.<\/p>\n

Politico identified 12 groups set up through the Sixteen Thirty Fund on health care alone.\u00a0By serving as those groups\u2019 \u201cfiscal sponsor,\u201d Sixteen Thirty Fund manages the money and aggregates their financial activities in its tax filings — making it hard to work out how much money was spent by the different groups and where. <\/b><\/p>\n

The new report says liberal mega-donor George Soros’ Democracy Alliance, for instance, used the Sixteen Thirty Fund and New Venture Fund to host several projects “that didn’t disclose their original funders.” The Capital Research Center report says that Arabella\u2019s nonprofit network allows it to mask the \u201cpop up\u201d groups\u2019 nature, making them seem like the work of \u201cgrassroots\u201d activists rather than what it calls \u201cfront groups for multi-million-dollar non-profits.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Funny how this sounds like a Continuing Criminal Enterprise doesn\u2019t it? And as we know, Soros is dedicated to destroying the United States and all the other democracies and creating a \u201cOne world government ruled by the elite few. (See how the EU is mismanaged as an example) Because of Soro\u2019s background, when people understand who is footing the bills, (Something the CommuNazi Propaganda Corps, formally called the Main Stream Media, works very hard to bury), they tend to move in the opposite direction. Not always of course, but enough that Soros has blown 10\u2019s of millions on certain causes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Conservatives, however, are still spending more “dark money” than liberals in some areas. Vice, citing a study by the Brennan Center for Justice<\/a>, reported last year that groups supporting Kavanaugh’s confirmation spent at least $7.3 million on TV ads, while those opposing him spent at least $2.9 million.<\/b><\/p>\n

Now take this opinion of mine with a grain of salt. I have no firm evidence to support it, it\u2019s just an opinion from what little I\u2019ve seen. The \u201cDark money\u201d the conservative groups tends to be a lot more public then the Democrats money. We\u2019ve all heard about the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson. That they are known seems to me to damage the Progressive\u2019s claims of \u201cRepublican Dark Money.\u201d This isn\u2019t stopping the Progressives of course.<\/p>\n

Democrats and left-wing activists — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.<\/a> — have been increasingly vocal in their calls to clamp down and regulate \u201cdark money\u201d in U.S. political activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is this pesky thing that the CommuNazis like Occasional-Cortex and the other moonbats don\u2019t consider. It\u2019s the 1st<\/sup> Amendment, and the rulings that spending money on political stuff is protected speech. But then, the plan for the Left is ti suppress freedom of speech and only allow \u201cRightSpeech\u201d to be spoken.<\/p>\n

The Capital Research Center report warns: \u201cBefore left-of-center activists and politicians demand laws to increase transparency in the funding of campaigns and public policy advocacy, they may first wish to consider voluntarily disclosing their own funding sources.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s the thing about the Progressive Leftists. They tend to consider that the laws that they like to impose on others don\u2019t apply to them. That\u2019s why people like Alexandria Occasional-Cortex is being investigated for campaign finance fraud. Just like what recently happened with the Mueller Inquisition, the plan was to Get Trump, but what they ended up doing was exposing just how corrupt the Obama Administration was with regards to the law, the constitution and the civil rights of Donald Trump and anyone who they considered a threat to the progressive movement.<\/p>\n

Now that Mueller has finally given up, President Trump is moving to investigate the so called \u201cInvestigators.\u201d When it comes to unintended consequences and unforced errors, the progressives tend to be masters of it. Demanding investigations of \u201cDark Money\u201d will blow back on them yet again. The CommuNazis, Progressives and others on the left refuse to learn the lesson of holes.<\/p>\n
