520    "While figures like George Soros, Bill Gates, and Mark 
       Zuckerberg are known for their hefty political donations, 
       few Americans have heard of Arabella Advisors. Even more 
       powerful than these standalone billionaires, Arabella is a
       secretive "dark money" operation that channels megadonor 
       funds into leftist political causes via pop-up groups 
       designed to look like innocent grassroots outfits. The 
       sheer quantity of money that has flowed through Arabella's
       channels is staggering. In the 2020 election cycle, 
       Arabella's nonprofits took in $2.4 billion, more than the 
       fundraising of the Democratic and Republican National 
       Committees combined. In the 2022 election cycle, 
       Arabella's fundraising rose to $3 billion. In this book, 
       Scott Walter reveals the major role that Arabella has 
       played in battles over Supreme Court nominations, abortion,
       women's sports, school discipline, Medicare for All, 
       environmental policies, fake local news outlets, "Zuck 
       Bucks" that manipulate election offices, and much more. 
       This mountain of money and influence aimed at transforming
       America explains why even left-leaning major media are 
       alarmed. Arabella is "the indisputable heavyweight of 
       Democratic dark money," warns the Atlantic. A "dark-money 
       behemoth," says Politico. An "opaque network," says the 
       New York Times, that funnels "hundreds of millions of 
       dollars through a daisy chain of groups supporting 
       Democrats and progressive causes." Citizens from across 
       the political spectrum will be shocked to learn how 
       Arabella has covertly developed the darkest of "dark 
       money" networks"--|cProvided by publisher.
