Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, joins Mike Slater on The First TV to expose how major dark-money networks fund political unrest in America.
Buner details how networks associated with the Tides Foundation, Arabella Advisors, and the Open Society network funnel billions of dollars—often from foreign and corporate donors—into radical activist causes, including violent protests such as “Stop Cop City.”
Bruner explains that this “protest industrial complex” operates through layers of NGOs, bail funds, and legal groups to shield repeat offenders and sustain unrest. He calls on federal authorities to trace and prosecute funding connected to criminality, underscoring the sophistication and coordination of these funding networks.
