ARABELLA ... 'the Darkest force in politics.'

Friends,
   In my older years... 'once burnt -- twice shy,'  I tend to read the entire small print on things I buy at the store or 'on-line,' to prevent any and all damage to my personal system and loved ones.  That is how many people survive, and we can also apply this bit of wisdom to most everything in our lives.

The Left knows this: he who controls the Internet controls free speech—and the hearts and minds of those who use it.

That's why wealthy Leftist donors have been quietly pumping massive resources into something called "Arabella Advisors."

And what they have planned for the Internet will send a chill up the spines of every conservative who cares about freedom...

Leftist U.S. Donors Using Secretive Arabella Advisors to Push Government Control of the Internet
The $500M Dark Money Secret On The Left
By Capital Research Center (Sponsored)
The following article is sponsored by Capital Research Center.
A largely unknown, massively funded strategy company pushing the interests of wealthy leftist donors has been quietly funding successful efforts to ensure the federal government's role in control of the Internet.

The secretive Arabella Advisors is a centralized hub that runs nonprofit arms that in turn have spawned a nexus of hundreds of front organizations outwardly designed to appear grassroots but actually working against ordinary people by expanding government control in the lives of Americans.

Arabella's vast network was unmasked in an extensive exposé by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center, which documents the shadowy system developed by, housed in and staffed by the for-profit, privately held Arabella Advisors.

The Arabella firm in turn manages four nonprofits: the New Venture Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund, and Hopewell Fund. These nonprofit entities play host to hundreds of groups and projects that promote interests and political movements strategically deployed in a long-term campaign to nudge the country to the left.

Arabella's New Venture and Sixteen Thirty funds worked together to spawn another arm calling itself the Media Democracy Fund, which has been working to push so-called "net neutrality" rules that would involve more government control of the Internet, Capital Research's report documents.

Indeed, the Media Democracy Fund played a key role in the Obama administration's enactment via the Federal Communications Commission of net neutrality regulations that took effect in 2015 but were reversed under the Trump administration. The net neutrality rules would have regulated broadband Internet service providers as a public utility, subject to federal government regulations.

Despite the repeal, key groups financed by the Media Democracy Fund continue to push net neutrality. For example, Demand Progress, which received at least $90,000 from the Media Democracy Fund, has been advocating for the reenactment of the Obama-era net neutrality rules, according to Capital Research's report.

The Media Democracy Fund's website lists its funding partners, including the Ford Foundation and George Soros's Open Society Foundations. The Ford Foundation, Soros's Open Society Foundation, and another group called the Democracy Fund also happen to be primary funders to Free Press, a far-left organization cited 46 times by the Obama administration in its arguments for adopting net neutrality, Capital Research's report documents. The Media Democracy Fund's founders include a former Free Press outreach director.

Free Press founder Robert McChesney is an avowed Marxist who previously recommended the dismantlement of U.S. capitalism to ensure a socialist economic system. "In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles,'" wrote McChesney in a 2009 column.

The secretive Arabella Advisors, meanwhile, may be one of the most sophisticated and influential leftist funding outfits of which the public is largely unaware.

Arabella's nonprofits raised a combined $1.6 billion from 2013-2017 with the aim of advancing "the political policies desired by wealthy left-wing interests through hundreds of 'front' groups," according to the report. "And those interests pay well: the network's revenues grew by an incredible 392 percent over that same period."

"Together, these groups form an interlocking network of 'dark money' pop-up groups and other fiscally sponsored projects, all afloat in a half-billion-dollar ocean of cash," states the report. "The real puppeteer, though, is Arabella Advisors, which has managed to largely conceal its role in coordinating so much of the professional Left's infrastructure under a mask of 'philanthropy.'"

Hello Friends and Gentle Readers,
    Judging from the stock ticket of wool socks below, at least we can admit that 'GOOD QUALITY' things, cars, houses, clothes, etc., seem to cost us more money.  And although we seem to be earning more money than ever --- that money has lost it's "buying power."  In other terms the value of one dollar [and other world currencies] has fallen...  and can't get up !   What ever term the powers that be want to use, like recession, depression, etc., spells out 'hard times' for most people. 
     The KJV Bible imparts the wisdom TODAY and many years ago is  that 'money is like insurance' for the day of disaster.  When I* was laid off along with 6000 other hard working Chrysler workers in 1989---1995, in part because Americans were buying the cheap cars from Japan that were dumped on the USA without tariff $$$ --- the American workers suffered.  But as a dark cloud with 'silver lining'  this event actually gave many spirited workers a CHANCE to get into the other kinds of labor force doing new things for the first time in their/ our lives!  The old saying is:   "You've got to strike while the iron is hot."   No matter what the intended subject provided here, one sense of the phrase is that a human being is wounded and severely bleeding to death -- the red hot branding/ cauterizing iron MUST BE HOT to save the person's life!   Same thing when the old fashion method of branding a man's cattle so they don't get mixed up with another man's herd of cattle, etc. 
      So, I was offered the chance to get into Finance and Investments at the ground floor while I was still technically unemployed from Chrysler --Kenosha, WI.  Well, they don't tell you everything at the beginning because the pure hard work and depth of that business would scare away most people with the amount of different titles, tests, exams and legal stuff...  LOL.   But the comradery, good times, gentle competition and rewards, income $$ are well worth it.  Even if you don't stick with it... PFS Investments, etc., you carry away a 'blue chip education' and not likely to ever get trapped in some shoddy 'Life Insurance' scheme/ scam.   Basically, any Life Insurance policy that says the term:  "Life"... like Whole Life, Universal Life, You bet your Life [Ha!].  Instead, the company,  PFS --Primerica Financial Services [the Marketing Arm of the whole company] can and does, change peoples' lives for the better, by educating them over the kitchen table.  Sorry if this stuff is boring to you--- and I know that any language that conveys the term:  STUDY can be met with fire torches and pitch forks...  Ha!  you don't have to be an expert in everything,  but you need to know enough to protect yourself and loved ones.  Just like going to school when we were younger.  They were preparing we students for LIFE !!  Ignorant people seemed to fly too close to the fire and then wonder why and how they get burnt. 


And let me repeat a special scripture that most folks get wrong...  "For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil." ---1st Timothy 6:10.   My 'ALL CAPS emphasis of the term,  LOVE.'  And the 'B-part' of that same Bible verse says:   "which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."  ---So says the apostle Paul written to Timothy, who at that time was a young elder in the congregation.  BTW, do we know just what the old English term, "Church" means?  It means, Congregation [ as in a group/ or congregation of people.], and not just some physical building. 


So, let me teach you learned good people a few of my tricks, or tools in search of things, and explanations.   When you know a scripture but forgot parts of it, or you are just searching for the exact meaning or definition to support your thoughts... Just go to the 'Dialogue' box and type in the word or words that could "Wing it."  For instance, part of the proper prospective of wine and alcohol.  Try typing the term:  "Wine."  You just might be referred to 1st Timothy 5: 23,  "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities."   Here is how we look at things way back 2000 years ago, with no protected running, pure drinking water.  Wise men know that water borne illnesses and disease can kill and injure many people, so a good, deep, clean well is so important!  Be that as it may, water can be IMPROVED to some degree with a LITTLE BIT OF WINE, as the small amount of alcohol will kill germs and also give the water a much better taste.  Going back to do research on wine and the general way people drank it will throw even more light on the subject, of course.  That Jesus' first miracle was to change water into wife, at a wedding!  Would Jesus do something evil or wrong?  Shake your head no.  On the other hand, too many humans have ruined their health and their families welfare with too much drinking !  Beware.


Friends,  as we all grow older we find out that many of our parents physical challenges become our own health problems.  And poor circulation of the lower extremities, feet, legs, etc., can lead to some unwanted, scary nightmares!  Good things I have great medical insurance coverage, but also a wealth of Herbal knowledge and understanding... a gift from the Lord.  PTL.  I use, Cayenne, Ginger, Garlic, etc., to help guard and protect my circulation and blood flow.  We don't want to lose a toe or a foot, etc !


Please continue to pray for the health of a close, good buddy, and Navy man, Greg Lesniewski, whom I have not heard from in a few weeks it seems.  I am very worried about his welfare.   He has been there for me so many times when I was depressed and feeling Blue, to cheer me up.  The loss of this friend would be a huge blow to me, friends. 


Warm Regards,
Tom Schuckman
