Swiss Billionaire Quietly Exposed As Influential Biden / Democrat Puppet Master; Dem Price Tag Reportedly $208 Million Since 2016

[easyt65]

He is not as well known as wealthy liberal patrons like George Soros or Tom Steyer. His political activism is channeled through a daisy chain of opaque organizations that mask the ultimate recipients of his money. But the Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has quietly become one of the most important donors to left-leaning advocacy groups and an increasingly influential force among Democrats.

Newly obtained tax filings show that two of Mr. Wyss’s organizations, a foundation and a nonprofit fund, donated $208 million from 2016 through early last year to three other nonprofit funds that doled out money to a wide array of groups that backed progressive causes and helped Democrats in their efforts to win the White House and control of Congress last year.

Several officials from organizations started by Mr. Wyss and his team worked on the Biden transition or joined the administration, and on environmental policy in particular Mr. Wyss’s agenda appears to align with President Biden’s.

Mr. Wyss’s growing political influence attracted attention after he emerged last month as a leading bidder for the Tribune Publishing newspaper chain. Mr. Wyss later dropped out of the bidding for the papers.

Swiss Billionaire Quietly Becomes Influential Force Among Democrats (Published 2021)

Hansjörg Wyss, who recently dropped his bid to buy Tribune Publishing, has been a leading source of difficult-to-trace money to groups associated with Democrats.

While progressives and election watchdogs denounced the developments as bestowing too much power to wealthy interests, Democratic donors and operatives increasingly made use of dark money. During the 2020 election cycle, groups aligned with Democrats spent more than $514 million in such funds


Why the fact that a foreign 'progressive' liberal bought the Democratic Party and in part funded the 'controversial' Democrat conquest in the last election is not the top story in the news across the country is a testimony to the loyalty of the Liberal Progressive surrogate Fake News media.

The fact that the Democrats are traitors who can be and have been bought by foreign forces that seek to destroy this nation and affect a 'fundamental change' is, after all, hardly 'Breaking News'.

One of the nonprofit groups managed by a for-profit consulting firm called Arabella Advisors, Sixteen Thirty donated more than $63 million to super PACs backing Democrats or opposing Republicans in 2020, including the pro-Biden groups Priorities USA Action and Unite the Country and the scandal-plagued anti-Trump group Lincoln Project, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Another nonprofit managed by Arabella, the New Venture Fund, which is set up under a section of the tax code barring it from partisan political spending, received more than $27.6 million from the Wyss Foundation from 2016 through 2019.

Tax filings by the Sixteen Thirty Fund and New Venture Fund do not indicate how they spent the funds from Mr. Wyss’s groups, nor do tax filings submitted by the Sacramento-based Fund for a Better Future, which passes money from donors to groups that push to shape the political process in a way that helps Democrats. The Fund for a Better Future has received the majority of its funding — nearly $45.2 million between the spring of 2016 and the spring of 2020 — from the Berger Action Fund.

The Sixteen Thirty Fund, New Venture Fund and Fund for a Better Future did not answer questions about how they spent funds from Mr. Wyss’s organizations, except to say that the money did not go to partisan campaign efforts.

Sixteen Thirty and New Venture have helped create and fund dozens of groups, including some that worked to block Mr. Trump’s nominees and push progressive appointments by Mr. Biden.

Among the groups under the umbrella of Sixteen Thirty and New Venture is the Hub Project, which was started by Mr. Wyss’s philanthropic network in 2015 as a sort of incubator for groups backing Democrats and their causes, as first reported by The Times. It created more than a dozen groups with anodyne-sounding names that planned to spend $30 million attacking Republican congressional candidates before the 2018 election.

In response to questions about donations being passed through to other organizations, Mr. Floyd said in a statement that the board of the Berger Action Fund has begun in recent years placing “a greater emphasis on supporting other nonprofit organizations or grant-making organizations, like the Sixteen Thirty Fund, that help identify, support and grow promising public interest projects.”

Several officials from the Hub Project were hired by the Biden administration, including Rosemary Enobakhare, a former Environmental Protection Agency official in the Obama administration who returned to the agency under Mr. Biden; Maju Varghese as director of the White House Military Office; and Janelle Jones as chief economist for the Labor Department.

Molly McUsic — the president of the Wyss Foundation and the Berger Action Fund, and a former board member of the Fund for a Better Future and the Sixteen Thirty Fund — was a member of the Biden transition team that reviewed Interior Department policies and personnel.

'Funny, you sound so "concerned, about our "country", when it's a democrat.'

Spoken like a true indoctrinated partisan. The fact that any party / politician is taking hundreds of millions of dollars from some socialist foreigner intent on 'fundamentally changing' the United States, seeking to change it into a 1-party 3rd-world nation should cause great concern to any true American.

The Trump cult defended Rudy, Parnas, Furman and Manafort.
So why were Trump and Giuliani so eager to dump the ambassador? Here’s what Yovanovitch said during her Oct. 11 testimony to House investigators: “Individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr. Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.”

They then trashed her.

In response to questions about donations being passed through to other organizations, Mr. Floyd said in a statement that the board of the Berger Action Fund has begun in recent years placing “a greater emphasis on supporting other nonprofit organizations or grant-making organizations, like the Sixteen Thirty Fund, that help identify, support and grow promising public interest projects.”

Several officials from the Hub Project were hired by the Biden administration, including Rosemary Enobakhare, a former Environmental Protection Agency official in the Obama administration who returned to the agency under Mr. Biden; Maju Varghese as director of the White House Military Office; and Janelle Jones as chief economist for the Labor Department.

Molly McUsic — the president of the Wyss Foundation and the Berger Action Fund, and a former board member of the Fund for a Better Future and the Sixteen Thirty Fund — was a member of the Biden transition team that reviewed Interior Department policies and personnel.

Wow.

Aren't RWNJ's so glad they got the SC to pass into the Citizen's United law?

Not so much, when "others" use it.

Why don't you care that the Dems are being bought by foreign nationals? That should cross all party lines, but I guess you just don't care about this country.

Funny, you sound so "concerned, about our "country", when it's a democrat.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, associates of Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, were arrested on Thursday and charged with trying to aid Ukrainian and Russian foreign nationals by secretly directing $325,000 to a pro-Trump super PAC. And they are only the latest in a string of moneymen and women connected to Trump — including possible Middle Eastern donors to Trump’s inaugural committee, Mar-a-Lago neighbor Cindy Yang, GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy and imprisoned former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort — who have come under scrutiny since 2016 over funneling foreign money into American politics.

'Funny, you sound so "concerned, about our "country", when it's a democrat.'

Spoken like a true indoctrinated partisan. The fact that any party / politician is taking hundreds of millions of dollars from some socialist foreigner intent on 'fundamentally changing' the United States, seeking to change it into a 1-party 3rd-world nation should cause great concern to any true American.

Indoctrinated?
The Trump cult defended Rudy, Parnas, Furman and Manafort.
So why were Trump and Giuliani so eager to dump the ambassador? Here’s what Yovanovitch said during her Oct. 11 testimony to House investigators: “Individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr. Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.”

They then trashed her.

Give everyone a break.

Manafort was Podesta's partner, both were guilty, yet Manafort was the only one charged....not to mention that in an attempt to torpedo Trump the Democrats had to go back decades to dig up a crime against Manafort. Pathetic.

Democrats are only pissed at Giuliani because he and his digging into the Biden family financial scams - specifically Ukraine - resulted in the revelation of Hunter working for a notorious criminal Ukrainian energy company owner who had ties to Putin. From there Biden was exposed by the State Department for known conflicts of Interest with Burisma and having perjured himself by claiming he had never met with anyone from Burisma (nice picture of Joe, Hunter, and 2 other Burisma board members playing golf together.)

And thank you for the giant 'Whattabout-ism' attempted distraction, a tell-tale sign the person throwing it out KNOWS how guilty the person they are defending is.

One of the nonprofit groups managed by a for-profit consulting firm called Arabella Advisors, Sixteen Thirty donated more than $63 million to super PACs backing Democrats or opposing Republicans in 2020, including the pro-Biden groups Priorities USA Action and Unite the Country and the scandal-plagued anti-Trump group Lincoln Project, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Another nonprofit managed by Arabella, the New Venture Fund, which is set up under a section of the tax code barring it from partisan political spending, received more than $27.6 million from the Wyss Foundation from 2016 through 2019.

Tax filings by the Sixteen Thirty Fund and New Venture Fund do not indicate how they spent the funds from Mr. Wyss’s groups, nor do tax filings submitted by the Sacramento-based Fund for a Better Future, which passes money from donors to groups that push to shape the political process in a way that helps Democrats. The Fund for a Better Future has received the majority of its funding — nearly $45.2 million between the spring of 2016 and the spring of 2020 — from the Berger Action Fund.

The Sixteen Thirty Fund, New Venture Fund and Fund for a Better Future did not answer questions about how they spent funds from Mr. Wyss’s organizations, except to say that the money did not go to partisan campaign efforts.

Sixteen Thirty and New Venture have helped create and fund dozens of groups, including some that worked to block Mr. Trump’s nominees and push progressive appointments by Mr. Biden.

Manafort was railroaded------as is Rudy now. Tired of Gestapo aka FBI abusing their position to try to destroy political opponents.

Railroaded into corruption by Trump.

You're such a stupid f* - the crime they charged Manafort with was one from DECADES in the past, one which had NOTHING to do with Trump. Educate yourself so you don't sound so ignorant so often - at least TRY to make your BS sound plausible.

All the proof in the world will not penetrate the density of a deliberately ignorant leftist drone's skull.The bed wetters aren't stupid just because they've never had access to knowledge, it's because they resist absorbing knowledge, and I'm convinced that in some cases lack the capacity because their frontal lobes have atrophied or may never have developed at all.

Already a thread on this numbnuts:

Swiss Billionaire Quietly Becomes Influential Force Among Democrats

The dirty Democrats in action. This needs investigation, not the bullshit over Giuliani and FARA. Hansjörg Wyss, who recently dropped his bid to buy Tribune Publishing, has been a leading source of difficult-to-trace money to groups associated with Democrats. He is not as well known as...

www.usmessageboard.com

 

[TransLivesMatter]

He is not as well known as wealthy liberal patrons like George Soros or Tom Steyer. His political activism is channeled through a daisy chain of opaque organizations that mask the ultimate recipients of his money. But the Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss has quietly become one of the most important donors to left-leaning advocacy groups and an increasingly influential force among Democrats.

Newly obtained tax filings show that two of Mr. Wyss’s organizations, a foundation and a nonprofit fund, donated $208 million from 2016 through early last year to three other nonprofit funds that doled out money to a wide array of groups that backed progressive causes and helped Democrats in their efforts to win the White House and control of Congress last year.

Several officials from organizations started by Mr. Wyss and his team worked on the Biden transition or joined the administration, and on environmental policy in particular Mr. Wyss’s agenda appears to align with President Biden’s.

Mr. Wyss’s growing political influence attracted attention after he emerged last month as a leading bidder for the Tribune Publishing newspaper chain. Mr. Wyss later dropped out of the bidding for the papers.

Swiss Billionaire Quietly Becomes Influential Force Among Democrats (Published 2021)

Hansjörg Wyss, who recently dropped his bid to buy Tribune Publishing, has been a leading source of difficult-to-trace money to groups associated with Democrats.

www.nytimes.com

While progressives and election watchdogs denounced the developments as bestowing too much power to wealthy interests, Democratic donors and operatives increasingly made use of dark money. During the 2020 election cycle, groups aligned with Democrats spent more than $514 million in such funds


Why the fact that a foreign 'progressive' liberal bought the Democratic Party and in part funded the 'controversial' Democrat conquest in the last election is not the top story in the news across the country is a testimony to the loyalty of the Liberal Progressive surrogate Fake News media.

The fact that the Democrats are traitors who can be and have been bought by foreign forces that seek to destroy this nation and affect a 'fundamental change' is, after all, hardly 'Breaking News'.

Who cares? If foreigners want to donate money to American causes, so be it. The more the better.
