Dark Money, Bus Myths & Bricks: Who Really Funds Political Violence?
Description
This week on Unleashed 101 we go hard after the money: who bankrolls street mobilization, mutual-aid logistics, and the shadowy networks critics blame for violent escalation—and what’s proven vs. what’s rumor. We unpack the plumbing of modern dark money (donor-advised funds, fiscal sponsors, shell nonprofits) and show how huge grants can be broken into tiny, opaque streams that fund organizing, travel, legal defense and — sometimes — logistics that enable escalation. ProPublica
We also separate fact from fiction: major fact-checks have repeatedly debunked viral claims about “Soros-funded buses” and pallets of bricks mysteriously planted to incite riots — yet the pattern of organized transport and opaque grant flows still raises real questions about accountability. We walk you through the investigative playbook (FOIA requests, 990s, vendor traces, camera forensics) so you — and your listeners — can demand receipts, not rumors. AP News
Finally, we profile the real players in the dark-money ecosystem (how hubs like Sixteen Thirty Fund / Arabella move cash), highlight verified cases where investigators followed the money to arrests or prosecutions, and map the steps journalists use to turn suspicion into indictable evidence. No cheerleading — just receipts, skepticism, and a call to hold everyone accountable. Wikipedia
