Epstein Pal Bill Gates "Distances" Himself from Democrats, Drops Funding for Rancid Democrat Dark-Money Slush-Fund "Arabella Advisors"

I've talked about Arabella before. They're the reason that the Democrats and media -- pardon my redundancy -- don't complain about big-money "dark money" donor groups any longer.

They receive billions from donors -- which I suspect include, like ActBlue's donors include as well, illegal foreign contributors -- and use this to fund dozens and dozens of Democrat pressure groups.

Arabella Advisers has given $10 million to organizations that "support radical Palestinian activist groups that have been linked to terrorism and agitated against US support for Israel in the wake of the Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas jihadists..."

Meet the Arabella funders. The Arabella network has been instrumental in almost all the electoral and policy victories the Left has achieved across the nation at the federal, state, and even local levels.

And Capital research had released information that shows the top donors to each of Arabella's 4 funds.

The big three Arabella fund donors are Bill Gates, George Soros, and Mark Zuckerberg.

When Mark Zuckerberg says he's not censoring republicans realize that he funds the censorship regime thru Democracy Fund. The same route that he funneled election funds thru.

Zuckerbergs also includes the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Donor-Advised Fund housed at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Plus there's much more, especially the total of $350 million to the Just Trust over five years.

Eric Kessler, a former White House aide to President Bill Clinton, was the Arabella founder and serves as senior managing director.

Arabella is who often gets the checks when you donate to Soros Democracy Alliance partners.

On this sample page, Arabella Sixteen Thirty and New Venture funds get the checks.

Bill Gates is supposed to be one of Arabella’s larger donors.

Bill Gates was a huge Biden admin helper. Especially with State Department programs.

New: The Democratic consulting firm Arabella Advisors -- which oversees the largest liberal dark money network in the United States -- is the force behind a self-styled black Communist 'solidarity' magazine ["Hammer & Hope"] boosting Hamas talking points online, tax forms show.

Arabella's group New Venture Fund has sought to distance itself from fringe Palestinian terror-linked groups such as Alliance for Global Justice -- but it is the sole backer of Hammer & Hope. The outfit's leaders are alums or work for @Princeton and @nytimes: writers include Angela Davis.

All of Hammer & Hope's funding in fiscal 2023, $150,000, came from the New Venture Fund.

In the preceding fiscal 2022, Hammer & Hope raked in $1.5 million from the New Venture Fund through a registered nonprofit group for its publisher in New York called the Black Radical Project. Hammer & Hope's publisher was incubated at the New Venture Fund as a project, allowing it to be routed a $750,000 check from the Ford Foundation

"It's absolutely not a coincidence that you see this convergence between the hardcore Left and hardcore Islamists," said Reed Rubinstein of @America1stLegal
-- a former top Trump administration official in Treasury and DOJ

So Arabella is basically the only way Democrats can stay in the game.

And Epstein pal Bill Gates just walked away from them.

Zuckerberg stopped funding them last year (IIRC), and now Gates.

That leaves George and Alex Soros as the big billionaires still funding them.

Gates Foundation Quietly Cuts Ties With Firm Linked to Democrats

Officials made no mention of politics in cutting ties with a network of nonprofit funds, but Bill Gates has made other moves to insulate the charity from political pressures.

America's largest charitable foundation has quietly ceased backing a nonprofit network closely associated with the Democratic Party and criticized by conservatives, a symbolically significant blow to a powerful player in liberal politics.

The Gates Foundation decided in late June to halt making grants to nonprofit funds administered by the consulting firm Arabella Advisors, according to an internal foundation announcement reviewed by The New York Times.

That decision, attributed to the foundation's chief executive, Mark Suzman, has sparked unease in the world of progressive philanthropy. Some nonprofits that work with Arabella are already seeking distance from the firm in order to preserve their relationships with the Gates Foundation, which primarily supports health initiatives around the globe.

In addition to its consulting work on behalf of nonprofits and philanthropists, Arabella also manages several "dark money" funds that support Democrats and the progressive movement.

For the organizations that the foundation's grants ultimately support, large sums are on the line. The Gates Foundation has disbursed or pledged about $450 million to nonprofit funds administered by Arabella over the last sixteen years, according to the foundation's records. It is one of the earliest, and largest, backers of nonprofit funds managed by Arabella.

In its internal announcement, dated June 24 and sent to some Gates employees who oversee grant programs, foundation officials did not mention politics. Instead, they cited a desire to engage more directly with grant recipients and cut back on the use of intermediaries like Arabella entities.

...

...

Mr. Trump made scrapping foreign aid and dismantling the vast global health infrastructure intertwined with the Gates Foundation among his very first orders of business. More broadly, he and his Republican allies have embarked on a campaign to cripple the machinery of the left, including directing the Justice Department to investigate ActBlue, the leading Democratic fund-raising platform.
