“The Democrats’ STEAL Curtain rises in Michigan this morning with the newest iteration of their frivolous, convoluted Fourteenth Amendment challenge to President Trump’s ballot eligibility. Similar cases have been dismissed in Minnesota and New Hampshire and another was recommended for dismissal in South Carolina earlier this week. The desperate Biden Democrats see the writing on the wall: the Trump campaign is showing consistent and expanding leads over the failing Biden campaign and they are terrified of losing (again) at the ballot box. Biden’s Democrats and their socialist financiers simply do not trust the American people with the right to vote, so they have weaponized the American justice system at nearly every level across our great country, to interfere with the election and make the choice for them. These desperate, un-Constitutional claims brought forth largely by Biden cronies, out-of-state entities, and stooge, gadfly candidates should all be thrown out of court.”

According to investigative think tank Capital Research Center, at least between 2001 and 2006, the Open Society Institute had ‘contributed $100,000 and $275,000 every year to,’ The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, from which Free Speech For People was shown to receive donations, as documented by Influence Watch.” (BizPac Review, 11/1/23)

Soros Ties To Pro-Hamas Rallies

George Soros Has Funneled More Than $15 Million Since 2016 To Groups Behind Pro-Palestine Protests. “Far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to groups behind this month’s pro-Palestine protests, where demonstrators openly cheered Hamas militants’ craven terrorist atta­­­cks on Israel.” (New York Post, 10/28/23)

“A Post Examination Of Open Society Foundations Records Shows Soros’ Grant-Making Network Gave $13.7 Million Of The Money Through Tides Center, A Deep-Pocketed Lefty Advocacy Group That Sponsors Several Nonprofits Who’ve Justified Hamas’ Bloody Attacks While Claiming Palestinians Obsessed With The Eradication Of The Jewish State Are The Real Victims.” “A Post examination of Open Society Foundations records shows Soros’ grant-making network gave $13.7 million of the money through Tides Center, a deep-pocketed lefty advocacy group that sponsors several nonprofits who’ve justified Hamas’ bloody attacks while claiming Palestinians obsessed with the eradication of the Jewish state are the real victims. Tides’ beneficiaries include Illinois-based Adalah Justice Project, which on the day of the Oct. 7 massacre posted a photo on Instagram of a bulldozer tearing part of Israel’s border fence down and a caption: “Israeli colonizers believed they could indefinitely trap two million people in an open-air prison… no cage goes unchallenged.” (New York Post, 10/28/23)

The Tides Center and The Marxist Front Group, Black Lives Matter (BLM)

In 2020, It Was Reported That The Black Lives Global Network Foundation, The National Overseer Of 17 Local Chapters Of The Most Prominent Organization In The Black Lives Matter (BLM) Movement, Has Become A Project Of The Tides Center. “New public documents reveal that the Black Lives Global Network Foundation, the national overseer of 17 local chapters of the most prominent organization in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, has become a project of the Tides Center. This puts Black Lives Global Network Foundation squarely in the middle of a massive political network, with total revenues that exceeded $636 million in 2018 alone. According to documents filed with the California Justice Department on July 10, 2020, Thousand Currents transferred control of BLM Global Network Foundation and all its assets to the Tides Center.” (Capital Research Center, 7/28/20)

“The Tides Center Itself Is A Branch Of The Larger Tides Foundation, A Leading Pass-Through Funder And Pillar Of The Modern Activist Left. Tides Was Conceived In The Mid-1970s As An Innovative Pass-Through—Effectively A Middleman For Liberal Donors Angling To Anonymously Support Left-Wing Causes. Donors Cut Checks To Tides, Which Manages Their Finances In Individual “Savings Accounts” (Called Donor-Advised Funds) Until The Donors Indicate A Final Recipient For The Funds. Their Funds Are Then Paid Out As Tides Grants, Masking The Original Benefactors’ Identities From Public Scrutiny.” “The Tides Center itself is a branch of the larger Tides Foundation, a leading pass-through funder and pillar of the modern activist Left. Tides was conceived in the mid-1970s as an innovative pass-through—effectively a middleman for liberal donors angling to anonymously support left-wing causes. Donors cut checks to Tides, which manages their finances in individual “savings accounts” (called donor-advised funds) until the donors indicate a final recipient for the funds. Their funds are then paid out as Tides grants, masking the original benefactors’ identities from public scrutiny. In 2018 alone, the Tides Foundation raked in nearly $420 million and paid out $291 million in grants, nearly all to activist groups and liberal think tanks. And Tides’ biggest donors are foundations, including George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the Hewlett Foundation (exposed for funding infiltrators in the conservative movement), the Ford Foundation, and others. Critics have dubbed the scheme “charitable money-laundering.’” (Capital Research Center, 7/28/20)

Craig Newmark Philanthropies

In 2020, It Was Revealed That Craig Newmark Was Spending Nearly $200 Million To Defeat President Trump. (Forbes, 8/4/20)

“Since 2016, Newmark Has Given $170 Million To Journalism, Countering Harassment Against Journalists, Cybersecurity And Election Integrity. These Areas, He Believes, Are The “Battle Spaces” Of Information Warfare. The Enemy, According To Newmark, Are Not Just Foreign Adversaries Like The Kremlin—It Includes The Adversaries’ Domestic Allies. Asked If He Views President Donald Trump As One Of Those Domestic Allies, Newmark Demurs, But Suggested Fox News Correspondent Chris Wallace’s July 19 Interview With Trump As Educational Material.” “Since 2016, Newmark Has Given $170 Million To Journalism, Countering Harassment Against Journalists, Cybersecurity And Election Integrity.

“2020 Will Be A Decisive Year For Newmark, As It Will Indicate Whether His Money Has Been Well Spent—Or Not. Aside From The Large Gifts To Journalism, He Also Regularly Doles Out Smaller-Size Gifts To Cybersecurity And Election Integrity. “They’re All Parts Of The Same Thing, Which Is Defending Our Country And Protecting The Election,” Newmark Says.” “2020 will be a decisive year for Newmark, as it will indicate whether his money has been well spent—or not. Aside from the large gifts to journalism, he also regularly doles out smaller-size gifts to cybersecurity and election integrity. “They’re all parts of the same thing, which is defending our country and protecting the election,” Newmark says. Some recent gifts include $1 million to Global Cyber Alliance, an international computer security nonprofit, $150,000 to national nonprofit Women in CyberSecurity, $1 million to ProPublica for its Electionland coverage, $250,000 to the authors’ nonprofit group, PEN America, to combat disinformation and combat online harassment, and $250,000 to the Girl Scouts to fund cybersecurity programs.” (Forbes, 8/4/20)

Newmark Previously Said He Will Deem His Donations A Success If “We Elect A Whole Bunch Of People Who Want To Defend The Country, Who Are Honest And Who Want To Fight Corruption.” “Newmark will deem his donations a success if ‘we elect a whole bunch of people who want to defend the country, who are honest and who want to fight corruption,’ he says. Though he hasn’t publicly endorsed any presidential candidates, he says he has been supportive of politicians with whom he has worked. They include Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), with whom he crossed paths when he worked with San Francisco’s District Attorney; Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), while working with the Consumer Protection Bureau; and Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), during his work with the Veterans Affairs office. “All three are potential vice presidential candidates, and all three would be great at the job, “he says.” (Forbes, 8/4/20)
