In 1959, when Alaska voted for statehood, Congress promised the state control over resource development decisions. However, these promises are now being threatened by the Biden Administration and left-wing political supporters. A battle is currently underway over Alaska’s right to control resource development decisions and support economic growth. AIDEA, the state’s economic development and finance authority, is at the forefront of this fight.
Evidence suggests that dark money organizations like Arabella Advisors are playing a key role in influencing public opinion against resource development in Alaska. Arabella Advisors has connections to influential funds and donors, including foreign billionaires like George Soros and Hansjörg Wyss. Their actions have raised concerns about foreign interference and the manipulation of policy decisions in Alaska through secretive funding.
The New Venture Fund, a tax-exempt nonprofit overseen by Arabella Advisors, has been accused of engaging in partisan politics and using dark money to influence media and policy in Alaska. The organization’s questionable tactics have caught the attention of prosecutors and are currently under investigation.
As Alaska fights to reclaim its autonomy and protect its resources, AIDEA remains committed to supporting job growth and economic development in the state. Efforts are underway to bring transparency and accountability to dark money organizations like the New Venture Fund and Salmon State, which are threatening Alaska’s future. The battle against dark money interference is not just for Alaska, but for the integrity of the democratic process as a whole.
