"RIOT INC. EXPOSED: HOW ARABELLA DARK MONEY FUNDS THE PROTEST INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (And Use Taxpayer Dollars as a Force Multiplier)"

No Kings' and its partners bagged $114.8 million from the Arabella dark money network

New Schweizer team investigation reveals how 'No Kings' and its partners bagged $114.8 million from the Arabella dark money network and how these professional protest organizations use tax dollars as a force multiplier.

This "grassroots" day of defiance targets Donald Trump and his "billionaire allies," according to organizers. The dark money network funding it is known as Arabella Advisors, whose benefactors are the left's own billionaire heroes, the CONTROLIGARCHS, including George Soros, Bill Gates, Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Zuckerberg, and Reid Hoffman.

The expected worldwide mobilization of protests this weekend, from Mississippi to Malawi, will hardly be a spontaneous eruption. On the contrary, the tumult is a carefully plotted production (complete with a protest song book) financed by the progressive dark money network that has perfected the mounting of made-to-order protests.

Two of Arabella's top benefactors – the godfather of dark money, George Soros, and shadowy Swiss-billionaire Hansjorg Wyss – are anchor investors in Indivisible's operations. Soros's Open Society Network provided important financial support, ultimately upwards of $8 million, while Wyss's political action fund funneled $2.5 million to the Indivisible professional protest machine. LinkedIn founder and Big Tech oligarch Reid Hoffman funded Indivisible's Truth Brigade (a project to combat supposed right-wing disinformation), and the left-wing funding behemoth, Tides Nexus, has given more than $3 million.

The Government Accountability Institute obtained the most recent Arabella financial disclosures (2019 through 2023), crunched the numbers and found that, in addition to direct funding to Indivisible, the Arabella network has showered the No Kings protest partners and affiliates with at least $114.8 million.

More alarming than the staggering sums that leftwing billionaires are spending on "direct action" protest machines is the fact that taxpayers will almost certainly be funding, at least indirectly, a portion of these protests. As mentioned above, the anti-I.C.E. demonstrations in L.A. were fomented by a group that got state and federal tax dollars.

It's a force-multiplying approach that progressives have mastered, as we learned from the "Gold Bars Off the Titanic" episode, when EPA chief Lee Zeldin revealed that the Biden administration tried to disburse tens of billions of climate cash into the coffers of purpose-built progressive NGOs (Arabella's Windward Fund, for example, was a partner recipient of $2 billion from the EPA for the Rewiring America initiative that Stacey Abrams advised).

Three of the largest Arabella-run funds funneling billionaire cash to professional protest groups are the New Venture Fund, the Hopewell Fund, and the Windward Fund.
