Free Beacon: The Campaign to Pressure Corporations to Boycott Twitter Is Being Funded by, Get This, Leftwing Billionaire and Patron of NeverTrump Pierre Omidyar

Of course.

And once again he's spending money to limit your right to speak -- and read -- freely.

Omidyar, the eBay founder and financial backer of the Intercept and ProPublica, donated $509,500 to Accountable Tech in 2021 and 2022, according to a recently updated list of grants disclosed by Omidyar's foundation. Omidyar also gave $2 million to at least six other organizations that targeted Musk, criticizing him in letters and op-eds as "uniquely ill-suited for the job of running a social media platform" and warning that he would turn Twitter into a "free-for-all of hate and harassment."

The news reveals one of the primary forces behind the anti-Musk campaign. Accountable Tech has been dodging questions about its donors for months. Over the past year, Accountable Tech and other groups bankrolled by Omidyar organized campaigns to pressure corporations to boycott Twitter and issued statements and op-eds denouncing Musk and calling for government investigations into the billionaire. "I wonder who funds them," wrote Musk in May, in response to a Washington Free Beacon report about the organization's secretiveness.


...


The Free Beacon reported last year that Accountable Tech--which calls itself a "small nonprofit taking on Big Tech companies"--has no physical footprint and is a registered trade name of the North Fund, a $66 million nonprofit group that uses aliases to push an array of left-wing causes from a shell office in Washington, D.C.

Accountable Tech did not respond to a request for comment.

The North Fund is one of Arabella's many, many dark money front-groups. It's funding "misinformation" research, yet another attempt to squelch any but pro-communist speech.


Arabella Advisors, a consultant firm with ties to the Democratic Party, manages funds that are supporting academic and independent research into online "misinformation," predominantly targeting conservatives' online presence.

Researchers funded by the Arabella network recommended strategies such as censorship as ways to mitigate the spread of "misinformation" and "disinformation."

"Groups like the Arabella network weaponize charitable laws and tax exemption to aid Democratic electoral victories, bypassing the IRS prohibition on electioneering," Hayden Ludwig, senior investigative researcher at Capital Research Center (CRC), a conservative watchdog group researching liberal financial influence, told the DCNF.

Several funds managed by Arabella Advisors, a Democrat-linked consultant firm, are quietly bankrolling research by universities and non-profits into how online "misinformation" and "disinformation" spreads, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of the networks' grants.

Arabella Advisors, run by former Bill Clinton official Eric Kessler, manages certain administrative, legal and philanthropic functions of several non-profits including the Sixteen Thirty Fund, Hopewell Fund, North Fund and New Venture Fund, which donate to a variety of left-leaning groups, causes and Democratic candidates, according to tax filings and statements on the funds' and Arabella's websites. Several funds within the network are also sponsoring research into the effects of, and how best to mitigate, misinformation and disinformation, according to a DCNF review of public grants.

Many of the Arabella-funded research projects cite conservatives predominantly as purveyors of misinformation, with several projects recommending solutions to mitigate the spread of misinformation, including censorship.

The New Venture Fund sponsored a project in March called "The True Costs of Misinformation" at the Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, led by the center's research director Joan Donovan, that sought to study the impacts of online misinformation, particularly on "vulnerable communities," according to the project's description. The project included a workshop featuring several panels on different topics related to the alleged impacts of misinformation.

A presentation titled "What Is Driving Conservativism's Post-Democratic Turn in America?" by Steven Feldstein at the Carnegie Council ostensibly examined the impact of misinformation on the perceived "anti-democratic" attitudes espoused by conservatives in the U.S., according to the workshop agenda.

"How did American conservatives reach a point where their main political messages are either blatantly anti-democratic or outright falsehoods?" the presentation's description read, alleging that "political partisanship" in the U.S. was "largely stoked by conservative propaganda and disinformation."

One panel entirely focused on strategies for "misinformation mitigation," with presentations from researchers at the University of Washington and Google, among other places, according to the workshop agenda. The strategies included legislative action to alter election laws to curb election misinformation, and "psychological inoculation" against dis- and misinformation.

Another presentation sought to figure out ways to demonetize sites promoting "divisive disinformation on COVID" at "the industry or policy level," according to the workshop agenda.

The Shorenstein Center did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation's request for comment.

...

The North Fund, another Arabella affiliate, is behind a group called Accountable Tech that, among pro-antitrust activism and support for privacy regulations for tech companies, researches and advocates against online misinformation; Accountable Tech is a registered trade name of the North Fund, according to the North Fund's business filings. The group organized a pressure campaign targeting advertisers to boycott Twitter amid Elon Musk's takeover of the platform, citing the threat of misinformation, among other concerns. The North Fund declined to comment to The Washington Free Beacon, who also reported on this link, but said that it "follows all disclosure requirements related to the disclosure of individual donors and grantees."

Does it? Because it's only now forced to admit it's being funded by Omidyar. (This article is from 2022.)

I digested this very good Tablet Mag article about Arabella and its fake "grassroots" front-groups, the locus of all leftwing dark money evil.

Back to the Free Beacon's scoop: Omidyar doesn't just want Musk made so poor he's forced to sell off Twitter -- he wants him legally harassed and prosecuted.


The Open Markets Institute, a group that raked in $900,000 from Omidyar, sent a letter in November asking the Department of Justice and other federal agencies to investigate Musk's purchase of Twitter.

In April, Data for Progress--a group that took $365,000 from Omidyar--called out Musk on Twitter for allegedly paying "$0 in federal income taxes in 2018." That grant was also removed from the Omidyar Network following Free Beacon inquiries.

That lie sounds familiar.

And in November, the director of Fight for the Future, which received $95,000 from Omidyar, published a column in Time magazine calling on activists to stop using Twitter and switch to competing platforms.

Earlier this month, Omidyar was also listed as a sponsor of the Digital Content Next Summit. The trade association, which represents mainstream media outlets, is run by Jason Kint, one of Musk's most vocal critics.

In December, Kint warned that he would have Musk "hauled in front of Congress" if the Twitter owner didn't restore the accounts of several journalists who had been suspended for posting public information about the billionaire's jet. The Omidyar Network told the Free Beacon that it paid $35,000 to sponsor the summit.

Meanwhile, the other Satanic Socialist Mega-Donor George Soros suffered from a super-Biden, near-Fetterman cognitive fault while reading a speech.


No wonder he's such a big supporter of Joe Biden.

Unfortunately his passing will not greatly diminish his capacity for evil -- his son is the deputy manager of the Open Society fund, and has the same evil agenda as Soros.

Eh, of course. But, I think the Free Beacon may just want to STFU, here.

Someone might point out that back when that little shitstain Matthew Continetti edited that rag, it was the one - not CNN or John McCain - who teamed up with Hill-Dawg to pay Fusion GPS for the pee-pee party dossier.

Or, that he almost certainly did it at the behest of his grotesque father-in-law Bill Kristol, whose own Weekly Standard was going bankrupt at the time, and couldn't afford that transaction.

And then, Kristol coincidentally found a soft landing at the Bulwark and Defending Democracy Together, both funded by... you guessed it: Pierre Omidyar.

It's hard to find an extant publication who should probably downplay Omidyar's dark money more than WFB. But nobody every accused ConInc of being intelligent or consistent.

64 "What is it with all these fucking foreigners trying to dictate what speech is allowed in the USA?"

My take is not that foreigners, as a group, are hostile to American free speech. Rather, we live in an exceptional country which is founded upon and which still has a significant population to whom freedom of conscience and speech is baked into our DNA. So it is just unrealistic to expect the views of any given foreigner, however benign their subjective intentions, to align with our free speech values.

So if you give a random, billionaire foreigner the opportunity to influence the state of debate and freedom in this country, chances are they will reflexively side with a view towards "safety" various "tradeoffs" and concepts like "hateful speech" etc that have nothing to do with our values.

I don't want to defend Continetti, but Republicans did not pay fusion gps for the pee dossier. they paid for negative research about cruz and trump, but this had nothing to do with steele. The steele crap was only paid for by Hillary Clinton and came later.

The leftwing pushes this idea that "even republicans paid for the steele dossier" but that's not true. Yeah Kristol sure the hell promoted it later but the Free Beacon did not pay for it.

106 From that Insty link on Antarctica, which points out the very uneven nature of ice distribution, in which some areas lose ice while others gain it:
Many of the problems surrounding the unproven hypothesis of human-caused global warming is that it often fails to correlate with observable reality. Why would well-mixed atmospheric carbon dioxide produce a relative warm spot in Antarctica, but leave the rest of the vast continent in a static deep freeze? In 2017, scientists discovered 91 volcanoes in the West Antarctica Rift System. It brought the number of volcanoes discovered in the area to 138. Their heights ranged from 300 to 12,600 feet, with the tallest as high as Mount Fuji in Japan. The scientists noted that even dormant volcanoes can melt ice because of the high temperature they generate. “Volcanic activity may increase and this, in turn, may lead to enhanced water production and contribute to further potential ice-dynamical instability,” the scientists stated.

116 GA passed a law so that election offices can't take outside funding. Dems immediately found a loophole. Have another county agency apply for the grant.

In her remarks to Decaturish.com, a local Georgia news outlet, DeKalb Board of Registration and Elections Chair Dele Lowman Smith, a Democrat, admitted the application process for the Alliance grant was spearheaded by DeKalb’s finance department instead of the board of elections. According to Lowman Smith, this was done “since election offices are not allowed to receive grants directly.”

208 "The earth is ackshually cooling" or "The arctic ice isn't receding" etc.

The problem here is something I observed long ago. Leftists aren't particularly interested in facts, logic, or reason, and it is a fatal mistake in believing they are amenable to reason.

In short you are wasting your time. You can "prove" just about anything with respect to their Approved Talking Point Bullshit, because it is mostly, well, bullshit.

They. Don't. Care. This is part of the scam - thinking that by careful revealing of the facts, that leftists will come around and say "Oh! I didn't know that. You're correct, and I've completely changed my position on this issue."

That never happens. Further, if you accept their premises in the first place you are simply playing into their hands. Very, very few politicians or public figures understand this. The ones that do are always very successful, which further leads me to the belief that most everything is a Scam, an op, and the unscrupulous types playing both sides against the middle. A playbook with a long and ah, distinguished history, shall we say. Don't be fooled.

If you are raising and providing funds to achieve something for an agency for which a law was instituted to prevent, you are acting as that agency's representative, agent or affiliate in an illegal act.

Pretty much what has happened to every single empire in history. Get a strong ruler or three and things go exactly as they want them to go, then it goes downhill from there fairly quickly and they are writing history books about the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, British Empire, Chinese Empire, Japanese Empire, Russian Empire, etc.

253 Conservative refusal to accept loss of political power due to loss of numbers and popular appeal is driving your turn away from democracy.

If any of that was true. I give you the red states and the migration trends as a counter to your baseless claim.

If you can't win democratic elections anymore, you're bound to embrace alternative means of retaining power. Need to spread lies and attempt coups to preserve your archaic ideas of "freedom".

You are projecting on the "retaining power" as if Conservatives are no different from Leftists who see power over others as the only thing that matters in life.

From the original American Revolution to now, Conservatives want Statists to leave us alone. The Left is obsessed with power and control over others.

The current idea by historians that this was a wise policy everyone should have vs stupid old genetics breaks apart in that none of the adoptive emperors had children until the last, and supposedly wisest, Marcus Aurelius...who allowed Commodus to rule after him.

The tetrarchy broke up almost instantly because there was no place found for the sons of Constantius and Maxentius, so they made places.

I read a whole book trying to figure various ways the legion got lost. The one that seemed more plausible was in some revolt in London on one side or another where it might have been reasonable to just bury it. The other 'marching off to die in Scotland' seems more difficult - legions got wiped out in battle all the time and didn't have the reasons covered up - they needed to be replaced and avenged after all.

From a philosophy standpoint, they are willing to sacrifice YOU or your children, to maintain their fairy tales. Dalrymple termed this "Your Death before their Dishonor."

307 Somewhat related regarding boycotts and cancellations...

Rush makes this point in his first book, The Way Things Ought To Be, in context of the Pediatric AIDS Foundation reaching out to President Reagan to ask for his help. Of course one of the leftist activist groups masquerading as an AIDS advocacy group lost its mind over the issue. Rush goes on to point out that Rush himself offered the Pediatric AIDS Foundation his support, but was declined because he was too politically incorrect. Let me repeat that: the Pediatric AIDS foundation would rather refuse money that could lead to a cure for AIDS, than be associated with Rush Limbaugh.

The above example gleaned from Rush’s first book is an example of how the left works and always has worked. They are, if you pardon the example, extreme fundamentalist cultists. Everyone outside the cult must be shunned. Everyone inside the cult must be defended at all costs. Therefore, someone like Rush cannot be allowed to give money to a charity.

The left won the war on we care as most people assume that a group of people can care.
If you cannot feed your family and house them you really dont care.
More importantly you cannot care with OPM!

312 I read a whole book trying to figure various ways the legion got lost. The one that seemed more plausible was in some revolt in London on one side or another where it might have been reasonable to just bury it. The other 'marching off to die in Scotland' seems more difficult - legions got wiped out in battle all the time and didn't have the reasons covered up - they needed to be replaced and avenged after all.

The more prosaic could just be that they were just monumental fuck ups and managed to piss off someone important during the year of the four emperors- not hard to do.

314 I get paid over $85 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.
