Astute political observers have heard of the big non-profits (NGO) funding all the insane causes, some of them violent, that most Americans disagree with. Arbella Advisors is one. The Atlantic calls them “the left’s dark money manager.” The massive $860 million Bay Area-based Tides Foundation, the social justice warriors that go after fossil fuels and spend millions funding migrant “narratives” to convince us plebs that there is no migrant crisis, is another. Old money at the Rockefeller Foundation and everyone’s favorite political donor, George Soros, has spent untold thousands on promoting a doctrinal acceptance of Western government COVID policies to funding Free Palestine activists on college campuses this month.
Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, is rifling through $640 million of her divorce settlement and giving it to NGOs that support Democratic Party causes, like open borders via the Immigration Equality organization, which focuses on asylum for the LGBTQ+ living elsewhere.
These are the big names.
There are smaller ones. Dozens of them. And on the immigration front, they all donate to a side of the issue most Americans disagree with.
We all agree that we have a migrant crisis on our hands, according to a Gallup survey in February. A record-high 55 percent of adults, up eight points from last year, said “large numbers of immigrants entering the United States illegally” is a “critical threat.” The prior high was 50 percent in 2004.
An April 24 poll by Axios showed that a majority were in favor of mass deportations now.
Some 64 percent told Gallup in another survey that they want immigration to decrease. Only eight percent said they wanted more migrants.
But all of those groups above fund the opposite.
Like the Tides Foundation in San Francisco, influential Bay Area billionaire Michael Moritz, made rich by his investments at Sequoia Capital, is a big donor to the preferred progressive causes of our times. In Buckingham Palace, the Wales-born venture capitalist is known as “Sir Michael Moritz” after being granted knighthood in 2013 for “promoting British economic interests and philanthropy.”
I don’t know what British economic interests he has advanced, but his San Francisco-based philanthropic organization, Crankstart Foundation, sends money to groups that benefit from what even NPR pollsters refer to as an invasion.
Sequoia Capital made a lot of its money from China investments. It helped make TikTok a household name. TikTok helps migrants with maps into the country. They’ll be promoting immigrant fast-track naturalization and voting soon enough.
Crankstart Foundation, like many of America’s largest NGOs and national philanthropic organizations such as Catholic Charities, is one of the enablers in this crisis. Its donations go to immigrant activist groups that are at odds with American popular opinion.
