The dark money that apparently birthed the censorship industry\u2019s most critical \u201canti-disinformation\u201d group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), recently came to light in an investigation\u00a0by The Telegraph, which uncovered \u00a3700,000<\/a>\u00a0in undeclared donations to British Labour Party politico Morgan McSweeney. And who\u2019s McSweeney? He\u00a0helped found CCDH in the UK in 2018<\/a>\u2014the same timespan when millionaire venture capitalists and businessmen were sending McSweeney secret money, triggering\u00a0an investigation by Britain\u2019s Electoral Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I\u00a0first reported last October<\/a>, Imran Ahmed is a Labour Party political operative who maintains close ties to intelligence agencies and began running CCDH from D.C. in 2021, when he started working closely with the Biden administration. That first year in D.C., Ahmed took in 75% of his donations from a dark money pass through, although new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) documents show Ahmed provided false information to the U.S. federal government to receive tax-exempt, nonprofit status.<\/p>\n

\u201cA finding that there is a materially incorrect statement on an application for tax exempt status should hopefully encourage the IRS to take a hard look,\u201d\u00a0said Dean Zerbe<\/a>, a tax attorney with consulting firm Alliant, and a\u00a0former Senate staffer<\/a>\u00a0who investigated corruption in the nonprofit industry.<\/p>\n

While he was based in the U.K., Imran Ahmed ran both the\u00a0CCDH and another Labour Party front group, Stop Funding Fake News (SFFN)<\/a>, to attack British leftists, to defund the Canary news site, and to remove Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party\u2019s leftist leader. Both CCDH and SFFN wielded wide influence in British politics and posed as grassroots movements, until reporters at\u00a0the Canary<\/a>\u00a0exposed the groups\u2019 ties to Labour Party conservatives Imran Ahmed and Morgan McSweeney.<\/p>\n
