“We are proud Americans speaking up against an extreme agenda that is putting money and power over everyday Americans,” Courage for America’s mission statement claims.
If you have any doubt whatsoever that CFA is an American organization, its home page is decorated with a flag draped over a barn. The ‘O’ in its logo even includes flag symbolism.
CFA has announced that it’s “forming a council of proud Americans” to fight Republican investigations into the foreign business dealings of Hunter Biden and the rest of the Biden clan.
Waving the flag to cover up the intimidation of elected officials investigating dirty deals with Chinese and Russian oligarchs is a new low even for Biden and his cronies.
Will Hansjörg Wyss, the Swiss billionaire allegedly backing CFA, be on the council of proud Americans? It would be awkward for the foreign tycoon to sit on a “council of proud Americans” since he is not, as far as even the media has been able to determine, an American citizen.
Instead, he appears to be living in America under an investor visa.
That hasn’t stopped the wealthy European from using his fortune to drastically influence American politics with the complicity of the IRS, the FEC and the rest of the government.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Wyss, who was accused of getting rich while killing patients, has broken the rules. And nothing says “proud Americans” fighting for “every American” like a secretive organization that doesn’t list its staff and appears to be funded by a foreign billionaire.
Wyss co-founded Synthes, a medical device manufacturer focused on repairing broken bones. In 2010, Synthes pled guilty to illegally experimenting on patients: its president, and its spine division president and two other executives were sentenced to prison. Even though a manager testified that Wyss had made the decision not to go through clinical trials, and owned half the company, he was not charged and has gone on funding the extreme causes of the Left.
The 5 Americans who died were not so lucky. Some of the dead, like Barbara Marcelino, showed signs of the cement used by Wyss’ company, in their lungs.
Wyss’ Hub Project has poured its money into everything from Democrat redistricting efforts to automatic voter registration with a massive impact on our elections. But this time the Hub appears to be focused on playing defense for Democrats against GOP investigations.
“Our goal is to go on offense against the new House majority,” said Zac Petkanas, Hillary’s former rapid response director, and a political strategist now working on behalf of Courage for America, bragged. “We are going to be pointing out the things that those investigations are distracting from.”
And who better to distract Americans from those investigations into Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals than a shadowy dark money group allegedly funded by a foreign billionaire?
NBC News has reported that Courage for America has a “seven-figure budget and support from the Hub Project, a giant Democratic dark money network, the group plans a robust operation including polling, paid advertising and social media campaigns, along with traditional opposition research and communications.”
But what NBC didn’t bother to mention was that the Hub Project appears to have been set up by the Wyss Foundation. A complaint by Americans for Public Trust noted in a filing that the Hub Project’s business plan “recommended that the group ‘be solely funded by the Wyss Foundation at the outset’ and that it would work behind the scenes to “dramatically shift the public debate and policy positions of core decision makers.”
Courage for America wants to target the Republican House majority and help Democrats fight off investigations into scandals like Hunter Biden and his foreign business operations.
GOP members of the House Oversight and Reform Committee have found 50 countries where the Biden family has looked into doing business. And they also intend to investigate Joe Biden’s role in some of those ventures. These hearings will potentially look into everything from Hunter’s Chinese-backed cobalt mine deal to a Russian oligarch. And the Democrats will defend against allegations that Biden, his brother and his son engaged in dubious business deals with shady foreign tycoons by turning to yet another shady foreign tycoon.
“The American people need to be introduced and educated about the extremist agenda of this new House and also who these members are,” CFA’s Petkanas blustered.
The CFA is so open that its site doesn’t even mention Petkanas, or Naveed Shah: its spokesman. Not only are CFA’s donors secret, but so are its staff and leadership. Instead of listing its staff, CFA references its “council” to divert attention from who is running the show.
That’s suspicious behavior for an organization that claims that it’s all about transparency. CFA is even working with another group calling itself the Congressional Integrity Project which vows to expose the “reality behind Republicans’ politically motivated oversight and investigations targeting President Biden and Democrats.” Nothing says integrity like a dark money machine helping Biden and his cronies intimidate elected officials investigating his corrupt activities.
The level of coordination between CFA, CIP and the Biden administration was revealed when the Washington Post mentioned that, “while the CIP is not formally tied to the White House, its leaders have spoken with President Biden’s aides and it recently brought on Jeff Peck, a former chief-of-staff to Biden from his time in the Senate.”
Biden appears to be covertly coordinating with a dark money machine group funded by a foreign billionaire to stop investigations into his dealings with foreign business interests.
If that’s not impeachable conduct, what is?
“These are sham investigations,” Kyle Herrig of CIP fumed. “We’re going to leave no stone unturned. No one has done the investigative research we’ve done on these investigators. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
“We have a multimillion-dollar budget, and we’re staffing up with a team of researchers and communicators,” he warned.
Where does that “multimillion-dollar budget” come from?
Dark money means that no one knows. The Washington Examiner couldn’t find anyone at CIP’s supposed offices and its spokesperson wouldn’t even provide a name.
This plot to fight investigations into corruption and abuses by the Biden administration has only revived questions about Wyss and his money machine. And the legality of his ongoing efforts to influence our political system for the benefit of the Democrats and the Left.
This is the phenomenon discussed in Internal Radical Service by David Horowitz and John Perazzo. The pamphlet from the David Horowitz Freedom Center began our project of exposing the abuses of the tax code by the political operations of the Left. While the IRS investigates conservative nonprofits on behalf of its allies in the White House, it allows leftists foundations and nonprofits, especially those allied with Biden, to flout the law and corrupt our system.
Biden’s effort to obstruct the investigations into the family business rely on a tangled network that includes David Brock’s Facts First USA, which we previously investigated, and groups which appear to derive their support from a foreign billionaire. This is the definition of corruption.
David Ray says
“A person in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” is a tired cliché used often by leftist shitheads that do nothing but throw false accusations in all directions.
These same leftists slander behind the comfort of a thick wall of compliant “reporters”, FBI enforcers, & Sorosesque sugar-daddies.
The Russia Hoax vs. Hunter’s Caligula life-style is a perfect example of false accusation vs. truthful indictment.
Source of Russia Russia Russia was a smear/spy campaign via the grifting bitch Hillary.
One source of *Biden’s bagman activity for China was confirmed via a laptop. (Only a drug addled moron would forget a laptop replete with such damning evidence.)
These leftist criminals still have feet of clay. They only flourish when indifference abounds.

Clinical trials are one of my pet issues. It is fascinating how scientific experiments go wrong for the strangest reasons. These failures are generally not expected ahead of time. So clinical trials are needed to check whether the theory behind the experiment is valid or not.
Cat says
In reality theres way more to clinical trials than that. In my professional experience it is a very controlled and documented process. With severe legal penalties for breaking a rule or even for mistakes. Having worked in the field in US, it was regulated and monitored to an almost ridiculous degree. Every data point checked and rechecked and reviewed. My experience ended in the early 2000’s.
This Wyss stuff seems crazy, foreign, Nazi-like and very Un American.
I don’t know how Fauci and the Covid current era has changed that. What I have read about Fauci seems bizarre. His wife was in charge of approving his research studies?! If you tried that at a major medical center in my era, you would have spent the rest of your life in jail.
Danny says
We’re dealing with brash, unrepentant me, corrupt, self-entitled elites who think there are above the law by and its requirements. Truly delusional and psychotic morons.
Andreas Schweizer says
Hansjörg Wyss is not Swiss!
… or let’s put it this way: he’s Swiss like Ruth Dreifuss, the Coninx Clan, the Schawinsky propagandist, the Calmy-Rey parasites. Do you mind incorporating this aspect into your article Grünfeld. As a productive Swiss in exile, I have good reasons to demand a correction
Daniel Greenfield says
Do you mean that in the sense that Biden is no American?
Andreas Schweizer says
The productive are confronted with a parasitic genetics that had formed a global sect since 1850. Currently, we productive are in the final battle with the parasitic genetics. There are enough reasons for the high treason execution: systematic global election fraud by Konnech, 2 classes of judiciary, C19, unauthorized expansion of the money supply, creation and protection of criminal organizations, market manipulation and monopolies. You as a journalist Grünfeld, you need to get the hystory across correctly as we are in information warfare.

Thank you for your peculiar comment, having looked up the names you mentioned I have now discovered a brilliant Bauhaus artist.

The abundance of DARK MONEY in the PURCHASING OF US POLITICIANS is disgusting!! I use that word a LOT these days!! I have posted on many articles that it’s way passed the point where our Campaign Funding and PAC’s need to be reigned in! NO FOREIGNER should have ANYTHING to do with US Political operations! I have proposed an END to these PAC’s and a RETURN to PURELY CITIZEN donations for politicians! People should be eligible to donate to INDIVIDUALS! BUT, those individuals should only be allowed to accept donations from those US CITIZENS DIRECTLY affected by the office! City Office – CITY residents only! County Office – COUNTY residents only! Congressional Districts – DISTRICT residents only! State office – STATE residents only! National – US INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS ONLY! NO PACS!! And, the LIMITS should be set to what the “average” US CITIZEN (notice a trend?) can readily afford – probably no more than $250 per YEAR TOTAL!! The LEFT demands “EQUITY” so just HOW “equitable” is it for BILLIONAIRES to PURCHASE YOUR CONGRESSMAN or DA?? Not very! Let’s put the politicians back to where they BELONG – on the streets and working for THEIR PEOPLE!!

Now some foreigners are sticking their noses into this whole thing about Der Fehrer’s son and his dirty deals
Çâşëğ says
Corruption has been part of human societies since the dawn of times. All great civilizations demise were cause by wide spread corruption within the ruling class. Today’s America is no different. Corruption is a malignant cancer that can not be cured by half measures. It must be confronted and destroyed with extreme punishments.
Danny says
The founding Fathers understood this and provided for the removal of a corrupt government by We the People!
Scotti W says
This should not be allowed because this is a perfect example of using their political foreign influance for their personal causes.
IAC. says
If Fredo Biden’s Foreign Dealings are so above board, legal & pure etc, into ad nauseam; why is the Left fighting so hard to protect Hunter, & cover up the “nothing’s there” ?!
