Foreign Charities Contributed $2 Billion to Left-Wing Groups, Policies in US.
…
"The United States has laws preventing foreign nationals and governments from giving money to candidates, political committees, and Super PACs, and from participating in a campaign's decision-making.
"However, according to the report, many other politically active groups in the United States are not required to publicly disclose donations from these and other foreign groups, creating aloophole to influence policy-making.
…
"Foreign donors can also pay for lobbying, think tanks, litigation, higher education, issue advocacy, voter registration drives, get-out-the-vote drives, newsrooms, door knocking, and ballot harvesting.
"Behind the scenes of climate litigation, lobbying, and advocacy campaigns are foreign financers eager to bankroll the next advocacy fight to enact their vision for our country, undermine our energy independence, promote civic unrest, and ultimately, weaken America," the report stated.
…
Children's Investment Fund Foundation
"… British billionaire activist and hedge fund manager Christopher Hohn… operates the Children's Investment Fund Foundation.
"…funding climate legislation; anti-fossil fuel protests; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; and other social justice policies.'
The foundation has a $6 billion endowment and is funded by Hohn's $60 billion activist hedge fund, which has donated more than $553 million to dozens of U.S.-based organizations, nonprofits, and businesses since 2014…
"The threat of [the foundation] unwittingly being used by the CCP to spread anti-American propaganda clandestinely across the country only further amplifies the danger of the foreign influence Hohn's organizations are exerting on American politics and policy," the report said.
Quadrature Climate Foundation
"The Quadrature Climate Foundation, created in 2019 by British billionaires Greg Skinner and Suneil Setiya, is dedicated to addressing what it calls the climate emergency…given almost $530 million to U.S.-based groups to influence energy policy, according to the report.
KR Foundation
"The KR Foundation-also a climate and environmental activist organization-was created in 2014 and has spent more than $36 million to shape U.S. policy and phase out fossil fuels…
"The group funded "everything from climate litigation to U.S. climate protests to pushing back against pro-energy legislation at the state level," Americans for Public Trust stated.
Oak Foundation
The Oak Foundation, created in 1983 by British billionaire Alan Parker, has backed environmentalist positions, including supporting opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline…advocates for zero-carbon targets and the Paris Climate Accord's goals.
"The Oak Foundation has contributed at least $8.2 million to the Tides Center, affiliated with the Tides Network… The center funds an immigration rights group called Opportunity Agenda that supports abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Laudes Foundation
"The Laudes Foundation, founded by the Brenninkmeijer family, has given almost $20 million to 17 U.S.-based groups, according to the report.
""…established as a philanthropic venture to tackle, among other things, climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and social inequality," the report stated. It seeks to influence policymakers in the financial sector, and businesses.
Reforms Needed
"Americans for Public Trust stated, "Reforms are needed to prevent undue foreign influence in U.S. policy fights, as foreign money coming into the United States can undermine our sovereignty and weaken our energy independence."
…
"Some states are already passing laws restricting foreign adversaries from purchasing land or banning foreign contributions to state ballot issue campaigns, according to the report.
Other states are creating laws for greater transparency of foreign gifts and contracts.
"The report stated that foreign money can still fund U.S.-based organizations and nonprofitsvirtually unchecked,despite some added restrictions. Americans for Public Trust suggested that state and federal authorities investigate the extent of foreign giving in the United States, and whether laws were broken by the foreign groups.
"Lawmakers should consider policy reforms that comprehensively address foreign influence, while also investigating and holding groups and foreign nationals who violate the law accountable,"the group stated."

Q Research General #12978: America's Destiny is in our Sights Edition
Alan Parker, Director of 'Bugsy Malone,' 'Midnight Express,' Dies at 76
Alan Parker, the British director whose exceptionally wide-ranging oeuvre ranged from "Bugsy Malone" to "Evita," from "Midnight Express" to "The Road to Wellville," has died. He was 76.
The British Film Institute confirmed Parker's death on Friday, noting he died after a long illness.
Parker was twice Oscar-nominated for best director, for 1978's "Midnight Express" and for 1988's 'Mississippi Burning." While the director's subject matter was eclectic, he did return frequently to the musical form: His films "Bugsy Malone," "Fame," "Pink Floyd the Wall," "The Commitments" and "Evita" were all musicals or had strong musical elements in one form or another.
Parker's first feature film, 1976's "Bugsy Malone," made a considerable splash for an audacious concept that worked only because everyone kept a straight face. The film was a Depression-era gangster musical cast entirely with children, the oldest perhaps 15. These included Jodie Foster and Scott Baio. Instead of bullets, the machine guns sprayed whipped cream. The New York Times said: "That custard pies can maim and whipped cream should kill are only two of the ways in which some basic laws of the cinema are cheerfully junked in this wildly uneven but imaginative and stylish satire of 1920's gangster movies. ... which also includes a first-rate musical score and choreography, along with a cast of kids." "Bugsy Malone" was the first of five Parker films nominated for Cannes' Palme d'Or.

Q Research General #5492: Chicken Dumplings Edition
Fucking Deniro played satan?
Angel Heart is a 1987 American neo-noir horror film based on William Hjortsberg's 1978 novel Falling Angel. Written and directed by Alan Parker, it stars Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro, Lisa Bonet and Charlotte Rampling. The story follows Harry Angel (Rourke), a New York City private investigator hired to solve the disappearance of a popular singer known as Johnny Favorite. Harry's investigation takes him to New Orleans, where he becomes embroiled in a series of brutal, occult-related murders.
Following publication of the novel, Hjortsberg began developing a screenplay for a film adaptation, but was unable to secure a studio that would produce his script. The project resurfaced in 1985, when producer Elliott Kastner brought the book to Parker's attention. Parker began work on a new script, and made several changes from Hjortsberg's novel. The film was produced by Carolco Pictures with a budget of $18 million. Principal photography commenced in March 1986 and concluded in June of that year. Filming took place on location in New York City and New Orleans.
Before its release, Angel Heart gained controversy for its casting of Bonet (then known for her role on the family-oriented sitcom The Cosby Show) and her graphic sex scene with Rourke, which faced censorship issues from the Motion Picture Association of America. Parker was forced to remove ten seconds of sexual content to avoid an X rating and secure the R rating that the film's distributor Tri-Star Pictures wanted. An unrated version of the film was later released on home video. Angel Heart received mixed reviews and underperformed at the North American box office, grossing $17 million during its theatrical run. It has since gained a cult following, with some reviewers calling it one of the best horror films ever made.

Came across this Foundation listed alongside others we've researched. Wasn't finding much til I ran across this article, which struck me as odd:
Oak Foundation: Grants for Crime and Violence
https://www.insidephilanthropy.com/crime-violence-funders/2018/4/19/oak-foundation-grants-for-crime-and-violence
Do you see what I see?
Grants FOR Crime and Violence!
Not against, to curtail but FOR.
It's just like The Criminal Justice System; justice for criminals.
They have to tell us what they're doing
Not a lot about this Alan Parker who began the Foundation, but he came from extremely humble beginnings and had a wind-fall which got him to be this uber-philanthropist.
The main focus of their cash awards for programs are in Brazil, Denmark, India and Zimbabwe. Sounds familiar.
Supporting single mothers and torture victims, and in Zimbabwe to groups supporting vulnerable children and families
Nothing to see here?
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, ANONS!
