The radical Left and the limitless cash spigot bankrolling it are leading Democrats to their doom. The result will change politics for the better.

The American Spectator 

"Sixteen years ago, when the Gates Foundation first began funding the Arabella network, the Left commanded the sympathy of the American people, an army of paid protesters, and the donor class. They’ve already lost the people. Now they’re losing the billionaires, too." . . .

"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.

"The New York Times waved off the decision as a blip that “sparked unease in the world of progressive philanthropy.” But this is no blip. It’s a sign that, for the first time, Democrats are facing a crisis they can’t bluster or buy their way out of… and it’s only going to deepen.

"I should know. I was the first to expose the Arabella network in 2018, and I have been tracking it ever since. Here’s how it works."AnyFoundation, will quickly recognize the playbook. Instead of cutting checks directly to activist groups, leftist mega-donors and foundations route billions through tax-exempt nonprofits directly controlled by Arabella Advisors. That masks their identities and lets them play at being respectable philanthropies, while still bankrolling grubby political crusades. 

"These are not political action committees like the RNC or DNC, which are heavily regulated by the FEC. The Left prefers to weaponize 501(c)(3) organizations like your local church or the Salvation Army — hence the scheme’s nickname, “charitable money-laundering.” This arrangement skirts clear laws barring foundations from intervening in politics by labeling things like voter registration “charity.” And leftists have been at it since the 1970s. 

"The Arabella model adds a sinister twist: It manufacturers “pop-up” front groups that do all the dirty work in-house through a process insiders call fiscal sponsorship. These are little more than jazzed-up websites with generic names like “Fix Our Senate” and “Floridians for a Fair Shake” passing themselves off as independent, grassroots groups. Yet they’re unplugged the moment a campaign wraps up with little to no paper trail. No public filings or disclosures revealing their activities or donors. Nothing real at all — save the damage done to our country. " . . .

. . . "That leaves the world’s oldest political party looking more and more like its most lavishly funded Marxist book club. If I were Arabella Advisors, I’d start looking for a new gig. This one’s up."   One always hopes.
