Top 10 leftist groups wreaking havoc across U.S., sabotaging Trump - See who's behind hysteria, 'hate' campaigns, fierce 'resistance' sweeping America
Top 10 leftist groups wreaking havoc across U.S., sabotaging Trump See who's behind hysteria, 'hate' campaigns, fierce 'resistance' sweeping America Published: 19 hours ago Chelsea Schilling
So America elected Donald Trump as president and you thought it was finished with the likes of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, leftist billionaire George Soros and radical socialists hellbent on destroying the U.S.?
Not so fast! The nation is now seeing an explosion of coordinated anti-Trump “resistance” in a fierce, multi-front war on President Trump and America. And a WND investigation has found many groups leading the “Trump resistance movement” have the fingerprints of Soros, Clinton and Obama all over them.
The left has mobilized in a new surge of activism since Trump’s presidential campaign and election. “Resistance” groups – many with the help of Soros and Clinton – are flooding Democratic candidates with volunteers, financial aid and new energy. They’re mobilizing in opposition to President Trump and organizing to help Democrats take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018. Activists are launching vicious “hate” campaigns and boycotts against conservatives, loudly disrupting GOP town-hall events and even stalking Republican congressmen by showing up at their homes.
Worse yet, radical socialists and anarchists are taking the opposition to a dangerous new level – disrupting speeches and rallies with bloody riots, brutal stabbings and extreme vandalism. They set fires to college campuses, businesses and vehicles while assaulting police officers with rocks, fireworks, bricks and Molotov cocktails. In a stomach-churning twist, the anarchists appear to favor weapons, such as bottles and balloons, filled with urine and feces.
While the anarchists wreaking havoc in the streets claim to have no structure, organization or leaders, many have strong ties or hold membership in other liberal activist groups leading the “resistance.”
Follow the money: No fingerprints, no trail
Much of the funding for the anti-Trump organizations and protest groups in the “Trump resistance movement” comes from third-party, leftist grant-making organizations. This arrangement allows donors to contribute large sums of money while remaining completely anonymous.
Huge amounts of cash.
No fingerprints.
No money trail.
The grant-making organizations accept the contributions and disburse the funds to selected activist groups that launch anti-Trump campaigns and protest on the ground.
Many of the activist groups are linked to a leftist clearinghouse called the Tides Foundation, a 501(c)(3), a third party that accepts contributions from donors and funnels the money to leftist organizations. Leftist billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundation has funded the Tides Foundation to the tune of at least $1.75 million.
And there’s another Soros-linked war chest that feeds leftist activists itching to “resist” all things Trump – the Emergent Fund.
In 2016, three leftist donor networks – the Solidaire Network, the Threshold Foundation and the Women Donors Network – joined forces to launch the Emergent Fund. In April, the Washington Free Beacon reported that the Fund had already raised more than a half-million dollars to fund groups that oppose Republicans, like the Black Lives Matter Network.
“These communities need increased capacity so that they can respond, act nimbly, and develop new strategies in this new period,” the Emergent Fund website states. “The fund will focus on grassroots organizations in communities of color who are facing injustice based on racial, ethnic, religious, and other forms of discrimination. We will provide resources to defend against what’s coming, and to develop innovative strategies to transform our country.”
The Threshold Foundation, which has paid Tides at least $2.5 million since 2001, according to the Washington Free Beacon, is located at the same San Francisco address as the Soros-funded Tides Foundation.
Other grant-making and fundraising organizations include ActBlue, the Advocacy Fund, the Ford Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Philanthropy Project, New Media Ventures, Propel Capital, the Bauman Foundation, the Public Welfare Foundation, Compton Foundation and the Arkay Foundation.
To shed some light on the leftist chaos, sabotage and disruption, WND has compiled the following list of the Top 10 leftist groups leading the “Trump resistance movement” and wreaking havoc across America.
01. Workers World Party
Members of the Workers World Party, a hard-core Marxist-Leninist group, have appeared at anti-monument and anti-Trump events across America. The party was founded in 1959 by a group led by Sam Marcy of the Socialist Workers Party. It has supported the Weather Underground Organization and had a strong presence in the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Workers World Party, or WWP, says it’s “dedicated to organizing and fighting for a socialist revolution in the United States and around the world.”
One group that has attacked President Trump and advocated for removing Confederate symbols across America is Color of Change, a nonprofit that was co-founded by President Obama’s former green-jobs czar, Van Jones, and Huffington Post contributor and former director of MoveOn.org James Rucker. The organization is backed by former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who has praised Color of Change in her tweets.
Launched by Hillary Clinton in May after her failed bid for the White House, Onward Together is a political action organization that seeks to be “part of the resistance” against President Trump by funding many of the leftist activists organizing against the administration.
Indivisible is a national anti-Trump movement that often targets members of Congress and calls for resistance against the Trump administration. It’s a collection of leftist activist groups with an average of two chapters in every congressional district, or 5,900 chapters that have popped up across America since Trump’s election.
MoveOn.org, a far left group funded by billionaire George Soros that claims it has 8 million members across America, was launched in 1998 with a campaign of opposition to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and emerged as a fundraising vehicle for Democratic Party candidates. Today, it is focused on pushing the impeachment of Trump. That’s how far MoveOn.org has moved on in 19 years.
Antifa is a black-clad, bandanna and helmet-wearing group of self-described anarchists and revolutionary communists known for violence and threats. The name Antifa is short for “anti-fascists.” They’ve become a regular presence at anti-Trump rallies across the U.S. that often turn violent.
Antifa is basically a network of many leftist groups that organize online and take a militant approach at rallies and protests. Antifa claims it has no official leaders, spokespeople or even members. Typically, a leftist Antifa activist will be a member of several groups on this list, organizing and networking alongside the other groups.
ultravioletIn July, a handful of feminists dressed in purple from the group UltraViolet crashed the U.S. Women’s Open at Trump National Golf Club. They wore shirts that read: “USGA: Dump Sexist Trump.”
Members of other leftist groups have been appearing at anti-Trump protests, including the Triangle People’s Assembly, Industrial Workers of the World and Democratic Socialists of America.
Yes, you guessed it. President Obama has his own links to the Trump resistance movement.
Organizing for Action, the community organizing group that formed from Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign and Organizing for America, has offered “online trainings” on how to resist President Trump. Organizing for Action, a nonprofit that has more than 250 chapters across the U.S., partnered with the Indivisible Project (see “Indivisible” entry above) to offer the anti-Trump training, as Breitbart reported in February.
This long article details the interrelationship of of many but not all of the various groups promoting disruption and violent take down of the US. I wonder could a determined forensic account link the funding to individuals. What could be done to eliminate the 'no fingerprint' funding of groups opening engaged in sedition without impinging on free speech.
