FOX News Founder’s Son Gives Big Donations to Progressive Organizations, Including Anti-Conservative Thought Control Group

James Murdoch is an avid supporter of progressive politics, and this may be the impetus for the network’s lurch toward the left.

James Murdoch, the youngest son of Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch, is writing massive checks to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and other progressive organizations to distance himself from his father’s legacy.

Murdoch is the co-founder of Quadrivium, a foundation to bankroll social justice causes with his inherited wealth. His foundation has donated at least $4.25 million to the Environmental Defense Fund, an organization that agitates for public policy to combat climate change. They have also donated more than $1.75 million to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, another group that fear-mongers about climate change.

Murdoch’s wife, Kathryn, is even on the board of “Unite America,” an implicitly anti-Trump organization that wants to heal a nation that becomes “more divided and dysfunctional with each election cycle.”

Most troubling of all, Murdoch has donated $1 million to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the organization that has assisted Big Tech corporations as they institute Orwellian censorship against conservatives.

“We work with Google on using AI to try and interrupt cyber-hate before it happens,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, Chief Executive Officer and National Director of the ADL, about his organization’s trailblazing work in the field of Orwellian pre-crime.

“We work with YouTube to get them to change their algorithms so it lessens the likelihood that a young person is going to run into some of these...

Trump Signs Law Making It Harder for IRS to Seize Money From Americans

The Internal Revenue Service seized $446,000 from the bank accounts of brothers Jeffrey, Richard, and Mitch Hirsch in 2012, claiming a “structuring” violation against the owners of Bi-County Distributors Inc. for making multiple bank deposits of less than $10,000.

The government never charged them with a crime, nor gave them a hearing to enable them to contest the seizure, but after intense national media attention to the case, the government returned the funds.

The case was among many that highlighted an abuse by IRS agents known as legal source structuring that allowed the tax collection agency to use a law, the Bank Secrecy Act, intended to combat money laundering, to seize assets.

President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan bill Monday to force greater accountability on the IRS in the property seizures, as well as protect taxpayers from identity theft, boost whistleblower protections, and modernize the tax agency.

“We just finished signing, the important signing, of the Taxpayer First bill, the IRS Taxpayer First, which is a tremendous thing for our citizens having to deal with the IRS,” Trump told reporters after the signing. “It streamlines and so many other changes are made. That was just done and signed. It’s been made into law. So we are all set on that.”

The new law, the Taxpayer First Act, requires the IRS to show probable cause that the smaller transactions were made in order to evade financial reporting requirements.

Legal source structuring laws kick in when large financial transactions are broken up into smaller transactions, which sparks suspicion from the IRS. If dividing up transactions is done with the intent to evade bank reporting requirements, it’s illegal, and the IRS can seize assets.

A 2017 audit by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found no evidence of underlying crimes in 91% of the structuring cases examined in a sampling.

The inspector general’s report further noted that the IRS frequently ignored reasonable explanations business owners have for deposits.

The IRS used the power in 2,500 cases between 2005 and 2012, gobbling up $242 million in assets, according to the Institute for Justice, a public interest legal group. Of those, one-third involved only allegations of...

Rose City Antifa doxxes people on their website, celebrates milkshake assault.

Facebook and Twitter are both still hosting content by the Antifa group responsible for organizing the violence in Portland on Saturday. The same group also openly doxxes people on their website.

Numerous people were violently attacked during the rally, with journalist Andy Ngo being treated for brain bleed after he was attacked with milkshakes that contained quick drying cement.

Two other men were also clubbed with metal poles and maced in the face during the fracas. One of the victims required 25 stitches after suffering deep gashes to his head.

Portland Antifa beats an elderly man bloody with a crowbar. As another man attempts to help, he is hit in head with crowbar then sprayed in face with mace.

This is #AntifaTerrorists
