Swiss Billionaire Bankrolling Dark Money Group Pushing for Biden Climate Initiative
12th November 2021
A Swiss billionaire is bankrolling a leading dark money group lobbying for the Biden administration’s Build Back Better plan and green energy jobs initiatives, according to corporation and lobbying records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Climate Power, one of the main groups pushing for the White House’s climate agenda, has billed itself as a traditional advocacy organization, with an advisory board featuring John Podesta, Stacey Abrams, and former senator Harry Reid. But the group doesn’t actually exist independently—it is owned and operates as a front group under the Fund for a Better Future, a Democratic dark money organization that has received the majority of its funding from Swiss health care mogul Hansjorg Wyss’s foundation since 2016, according to corporation records.
For all that Democrats constantly wring their hands about ‘dangers to our democracy’, they seem to be the ones doing their best to slide their way around it.
I love the smell of conspiracy in the morning.
