“Conservatives” Funded by Leftists Issue Defense of Mueller Daniel Greenfield

The Niskanen Center has a call by “conservatives” in support of Mueller’s opposition research campaign.

We hereby call on House Speaker Ryan and Senate Majority Leader McConnell to make clear, both publicly and privately, that they support the Mueller investigation and regard any interference with that investigation, including dismissal of the special counsel or preemptive pardons of investigation targets, as completely unacceptable. We further urge all Republican members of Congress to issue public statements on these issues as well. It is morally imperative that the Republican Party and the conservative movement stand as bulwarks of the rule of law, not enablers of its erosion and violation. Now is the time for choosing.

That’s supposed to be a Reagan reference. It’s laughable considering the signatories and the Center.

The Niskanen Center’s funders include the Rockefeller Brothers Fund for advancing awareness of global warming. (Pushing Global Warming is one of the Center’s agendas.) And a Facebook co-founder for promoting migration.

The Niskanen Center is a new libertarian think tank that has made reducing barriers to immigration one of its focus areas. In our exploration of immigration policy (which we have identified as a priority cause), we found very few organizations dedicated to making the case for more people, including lower-skill workers, to be able to move to high-income countries. We see this as an opportunity to fund an advocacy organization with an unusual level of alignment with us on this issue.

Also it’s pushing welfare for everyone.

The Niskanen Center has joined a coalition that will, for the first time, comprehensively explore the merits of a Universal Basic Income (UBI).

The coalition, The Economic Security Project (ESP), announced today that it will be committing $10 million over the next two years “to explore how a ‘basic income’ could…ensure economic opportunity for all” in the United States. More than 100 people, including Sam Altman, the president of Y Combinator, a leading Silicon Valley startup incubator, and Andy Stern, the former president of the Service Employees International Union, signed the group’s “statement of belief” saying it aims to “make our economy work again for all Americans.”

Not to mention carbon credit taxation and a whole host of other leftist measures.

Signatories include Andrew Sullivan and Evan McMullin. Here’s the greatest thing ever. Pierre Omidyar, the anti-American Persian billionaire who funds McMullin, in a tweet cycle.

This is urgent. The rule of law means the president shouldn’t be able to fire someone for investigating a friend of his. https://twitter.com/evan_mcmullin/status/941377099067113472 

Yes it’s urgent. The coup might fail.

But wait. There are still opportunities available…

Prominent conservatives who would like to be included as signatories can contact Niskanen Center

Karl Marx, please pick up the red courtesy phone. You too could have your name in lights alongside great conservatives like Andrew Sullivan and Evan McMullin.
