More Wings Over Scotland on Adam Ramsay:

Since 2019 Ramsay has been the editor of Open Democracy, an activist “news” site funded – to the tune of millions of pounds a year – chiefly by large grants from American and other corporate and industrial charities like the Ford Foundation, created by the notorious racist and anti-Semitic car magnate Henry Ford.

…

These grants are provided, naturally, mostly in the name of “social justice”, “diversity” and “inclusion”. Many of the donors, like the Wellspring Philanthropic Fund which provided OD with $800,000 in grants in recent years, are deeply opaque, with their website declining to identify even which country the fund is based in and having been described by some investigative websites as “a near-bottomless pit of “dark money” […] fed by a handful of mysterious hedge fund billionaires”.

So more like Dark or Cryptic Democracy.

With crushingly predictable irony, OpenDemocracy is absolutely obsessed with other people’s funding by “dark money”

When they do it v when we do it.

OD is utterly captured by the trans movement, and nobody more so than Ramsay himself, who regularly and vitriolically lambasts the likes of For Women Scotland and gay-rights charity the LGB Alliance as “hate groups”. He continues to do so despite the latter having survived numerous attempts by transactivists to strip it of its charitable status and [its] having been confirmed as a wholly legitimate and respectable organisation by the Charity Commission after a thorough investigation in 2021.

He frequently dismisses the valid concerns of gender-critical feminists and others about women’s rights, LGB rights, child safeguarding and freedom of speech (that validity having been established by a growing string of tribunals and court cases) as an “anti-trans moral panic”.

Campbell includes copious illustration of all these claims; I recommend reading the whole thing.
