Scott Bessent is following the money behind America’s dark money nonprofit network and confronting a political machine more than a century in the making.
Scott Bessent and President Trump are targeting the dark money nonprofit networks behind political campaigns and extremist activity.
Mike examines Arabella Advisors, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundations, and other tax-exempt organizations accused of moving political money without revealing its original donors.
He then traces this system back to the Rockefeller Foundation’s 1913 charter, the Revenue Act of 1913, and Congressman Wright Patman’s investigation into the growing power of foundations.
At its core, this is a fight between a sovereign nation built around its citizens and a globalized system governed by permanent, anonymous legal entities.
