Bill Gates is pulling $450 million from Arabella Advisors? That is how so many of these Left wing front groups here in Montana get their funding. I reached out to the guy who wrote the book on Arabella to see what this means.

First off, $450 million is how much he has given...we don't know how much he is pulling back. That was one of the first points made by Scott Walter, author of Arabella: The Dark Money Network of Leftist Billionaires Secretly Transforming AmericaHe's also the president of the Capital Research Center.

Walter suggested Gates' move was a strategic peace offering to President Trump, given Arabella's left-wing influence. He also highlighted Hansjorg Wyss' foreign interference and the potential impact of a RICO investigation into George Soros.

(Wyss is the foreign billionaire who funds may of the radical environmental and Democrat party front groups here in Montana. He also interferes in our ballot initiative elections)

Scott Walter: "I think that all of the left wing billionaires are very scared of the administration because, you know, they haven't been scrutinized properly in the past, and Trump and Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and what not- they could come knocking. And I hear from solid sources that the Gates Foundation is terrified they're going to lose their nonprofit status. So these are things they are very much scared about."

By the way, Walter credits the great Montanan- Dave Skinner- for first publicly tracking Arabella, when he connected the dots between the groups trying to shut down ATV access on public lands to the big left wing money Arabella Advisors.
