John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:How influential are the Carnegie Endowment's strange bedfellows? ([link removed]

While CIA Director William Burns was head of the Carnegie Endowment (2015–2021), Carnegie employed at least 20 members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as policy experts. This contrasts with the high praise in a 2012 New Republic article that held Carnegie up as a model think tank that had "avoided any taint of influence peddling."

Who is Dustin Moskovitz? ([link removed]
Facebook billionaire and Asana co-founder Dustin Moskovitz is a somewhat mysterious left-wing force. He has spent years quietly channeling money through his own philanthropic networks to numerous left-wing causes. In the shadows of George Soros and his former college roommate Mark Zuckerberg, his influence goes unnoticed. CRC's Parker Thayer outs yet another left-wing billionaire eroding the foundations of America society here ([link removed]
How did ESG begin? ([link removed]

Decades before environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) became a major movement, the nonprofit Ceres Inc. was founded to promote left-leaning climate and economic governance at major investment firms and corporations. Ceres has since become a major force in the ESG movement, promoting land-gobbling weather-dependent wind and solar power. CRC's Ken Braun continues to expose "greenwashing" here ([link removed]
How powerful is Arabella Advisors? ([link removed]

Behind the closed doors of an unassuming philanthropic consultancy in Washington, DC, is one of the most powerful lobbying forces in the United States: Arabella Advisors. Through its four nonprofits, Arabella launches swarms of "pop-up" groups that that attempt to create the appearance of grassroots activism to influence policymakers. CRC's Hayden Ludwig probes the multi-billion-dollar Arabella network here ([link removed]

Voter Suppression Myth: Busted



Following the 2018 primaries in Georgia, rising Democratic star and failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams began insisting voter suppression caused her to lose to now-Governor Brian Kemp (R). With help from left-leaning media, that narrative grew until it was overshadowed by concerns about election integrity in the 2020 presidential contest and the passage of voter reform legislation in the state.

Abrams and other left-progressives insisted the Georgia election integrity law would disenfranchise voters and suppress votes. They, along with large businesses based in the state, helped facilitate the yanking of MLB's All-Star game in protest of the new law, harming black-owned businesses in the process.

But were they right? Comparing Honest Elections Project data gathered two years later in the 2022 primaries to the original 2018 data yields very interesting results that Abrams and other Democrats have yet to explain.
