John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:

Why are Black Lives Matter chapters furious?
Black Lives Global Network Foundation has received hundreds of millions of dollars in donations but has passed on precious little to local Black Lives Matter chapters since 2013. The foundation operates as a "fiscally sponsored project" of another nonprofit, the Tides Center, which allows the BLM group to "hide its revenues, assets, salaries, . . . and much more." The Washington Times extensively quotes CRC research, plus our Hayden Ludwig and yours truly in its report on the brewing internal rebellion. Read excerpts here or the original news report here.

Did Zuckerberg's millions influence the election in Georgia?
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan gave $350 million to a supposedly "nonpartisan" nonprofit, the Center for Tech and Civic Life, which in turn re-granted the funds to thousands of governmental election officials around the country to "help" them conduct the 2020 election--something even the New York Times and the Associated Press considered suspicious. Read the first report of our occasional series on the Center here. You can also watch me testifying to the Georgia Senate on my report here, and watch me discussing it on Tucker Carlson's show here.

How to succeed by failing
Some political operatives in Washington, DC, believe that being in the opposition party automatically means better business. The Lincoln Project gurus, who billed themselves as "true" conservatives, decided to embrace that philosophy and spend tens of millions of donor-dollars fighting to defeat Donald Trump and elect Democrats in down-ballot races. Their effect on the presidential election is difficult to detect, but in the U.S. Senate races they targeted, they ran up an impressive 0-7 record. CRC's Kristen Eastlick examines their epic failures here.

Farewell, Walter Williams
Our friend Walter Williams passed away on Wednesday. This great free-market economist and libertarian thinker served as the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University and also on Capital Research Center's Advisory Board. His departure has left behind a massive void the extent of which will only become clear with time. CRC's Sarah Lee pays tribute to this great soul here.

State Senate Testimony

Election Irregularities Involving CTCL



On Thursday, I testified before a Georgia Senate Judiciary subcommittee about election irregularities involving the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), an allegedly "nonpartisan" nonprofit. The CTCL received $350 million from left-leaning donors Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan. CTCL then re-granted the funds to thousands of governmental election officials around the country to "help" them conduct the 2020 election, with a discernable preference for Democratic-leaning counties.

Arabella Advisors' Shadow over America

In 2019, we exposed Arabella Advisors' left-wing activist network, which had operated with almost no scrutiny from the mainstream media for close to 15 years. We traced Arabella's half-billion-dollar empire to hundreds of "pop-up" groups—websites pretending to be grassroots organizations—with unknown funders. These fake grassroots groups lobby for abortion-on-demand, Obamacare, control of the courts, and gun control—all from the same office in Washington, DC.

Watch the 3-minute video here.

As always, I welcome your thoughts on how we can better serve our mission of exposing the Left's activists and donors. E-mail me at [email protected], or call me at 202.464.2044.

 

Best wishes,

Scott Walter, President
