🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Inside The New Pluralists: how billionaires weaponized the Biden Administration, targeted Charlie Kirk, and are quietly financing America’s color revolution 🚨🚨

In 2017, a quiet meeting brought representatives of Soros, Koch, Rockefeller, and Ford foundations together for one purpose: to rethink how philanthropy influences politics.

Out of that meeting came the “New Pluralists,” a coalition that would go on to shape the Biden White House’s United We Stand summit, fund censorship-adjacent projects, and eventually intersect with investigations into Turning Point USA ... and the color revolution that's brewing in the United States now.

Thanks to @iamlisalogan and @skdoubledub33 for the research.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread in real time. 👇

Our story starts in mid-2017, Mark Gerzon, president and founder of the Mediators Foundation, began organizing a private meeting of major political funders. Scheduled for November on the East Coast, the gathering was to include representatives of both the Soros and Koch families, along with about twenty other donors from across the political spectrum. Gerzon described them as people on the left and right who were disillusioned with how their money was influencing politics and wanted to explore new ways to use their wealth more effectively.

If you’re unfamiliar with Mark Gerzon, he has an extensive background in international diplomacy. He has served as a consultant for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), worked with the Carnegie Council, and was a distinguished fellow at the EastWest Institute, where he facilitated dialogues between the Chinese Communist Party and members of both the Republican and Democratic parties.

The meeting did happen - at the Rockefeller Brother Fund's Pocantico Conference Center. The project was launched by John Steiner (vice-chair of Mediators Foundation) and Stephen Heintz, President of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. A new direction for America was set then.

I am keeping this thread focused on events around Turning Point -- so I will only briefly go over this new direction. Stephen Heintz would sit on an American Academy council to come up with a plan to transform America from a Constitutional Republic to an actual democracy.

The billionaire philanthropists who attended the mysterious summit organized by Mark Gerzon formed a group called "New Pluralists." Charles Koch Institute, Anti-Defamation League, Ford Foundation, and Soros Fund all were represented.

The first project was Communities Overcoming Extremism: the After Charlottesville Project, led by former Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer. Signer says on his (now-deleted) website that he created the coalition which included the ADL, the Ford Foundation, the Charles Koch Institute, the Fetzer Institute, and New America... but elsewhere he says the ADL reached out to him first.

This initial project would would set the vocabulary for their long term direction -- "bridging divides" through censoring populists and installing a new democracy. I write a whole chapter on this in my book.

Now, fast forward to September 15, 2022, two weeks after the infamous "Soul of the Nation" speech wherein Biden declared "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic."

Two weeks after that speech, President Biden announced the "United We Stand" summit and would announce a number of measures to combat extremism.

Whose idea was it to hold the summit and response? Well, Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is mentioned as one of the five organizations that pressed the White House to make it happen.

Ok, so it was ADL's idea, the same ADL who collaborated with the Koch brothers, Ford foundation, Soros Fund, etc.

Who bankrolled the United We Stand?

... It was the New Populists. They committed 1 billion dollars to this initiative, proudly announced in a White House press release.

Southern Poverty Law Center got involved as well, begging Susan Rice to make United We Stand summit an enduring institution and having a long list of policy recommendations.

Merrick Garland the same day announced a nationwide initiative to combat hate speech. They would go onto partner with the ADL on this effort.

On November 2, 2022, an article is published on a digital publication widely circulated around foundations called called "Is Philanthropy Taking the Wrong Approach to Addressing Polarization?" It lauds the New Pluralists and their role in the United We Stand summit.

But the same article says that there is an obstacle to accomplishing the goals of United We Stand... Christian evangelicals... specifically, Turning Point USA. The article fingers Turning Point USA as an obstacle due to their stubbornness.

On 1 December 2022, Merrick Garland's Department of Justice, which administered the United Against Hate programs, issued a subpoena to Turning Point USA in the Arctic Frost investigation.

It was also around this time that ADL entered Turning Point USA in its Extremism database. I could not narrow a timestamp more precisely, but the earliest Wayback Machine snapshot is 2 January 2023.

Remember - the same ADL that is advising the Department of Justice.

The story doesn't end of the official websites to come out of the "United We Stand" summit... was Dignity [.] us . here.One

Dignity [.] us now points to the Dignity Index. Ermiya Fanaeian is linked as having working on the Dignity Index as one of its original coders.

Yes, the same Fanaeian whose group SLC Armed Queers is under investigation as having potential foreknowledge of Kirk's assassination.

You can read all about her in this prior thread. She was awarded by Utah Global Diplomacy for work in advancing the UN 17 SDGs.

The President of Utah Global Diplomacy is Felicia Maxfield-Barrett, who is also on the board of directors for Global Ties US, another State Department cut-out NGO. Global Ties US partners with Utah Valley University. Maxwell-Barrett received an award from UVU.

. @iamlisalogan and @SKDoubleDub33 have more information on this -- but they confirm that Global Ties US finances Project UNITE, the organization behind the Dignity Index.

@iamlisalogan @SKDoubleDub33 There's more ties to UVU, but I don't think they're appropriate for X -- you can look up @iamlisalogan 's substack for more on that.

Both @SKDoubleDub33 and Lisa report Global Ties US scrubbed all their social media after the Kirk assassination.

Zooming back out to Mark Gerzon, who coordinated the whole effort with the New Pluralists -- the grand plan of the billionaires did not stop when the Trump administration took over and immediately started prosecuting the weaponization efforts.

Mediators Foundation formed the Inter-Movement Impact Project, an initiative meant to align all the various democracy organizations.

The network is huge, compromised of many NGOs. But there are a few "core" groups.

One of them you might recognize: Ro Tucci and DemAID.

Yep, that's right. Inter-Movement Impact Project is directing the actions of ex-USAID employees who are trying to forment a color revolution.

@iamlisalogan @SKDoubleDub33 Here's a prior thread on DemAID :

The goal of this group -- implement Rachel Kleinfeld's Strategy #4 to Support US Democracy. Effectively, what it means is they are flooding America with NGOs to transform local communities from inside-out and build support for transforming the USA to a true democracy.

@BasedMikeLee will be amused to know that one of those NGOs is Mormon Women For Ethical Government. If you look at the person on lower left of the second screenshot, that's Jen Thomas of MWEG.

@iamlisalogan @SKDoubleDub33 Now, I haven't quite found the link to NoKings or Indivisible yet. The Koch brothers are definitely tied to this initiative, NoKings not as much. But it does have overlap in that some of the more progressive foundations of New Pluralists are also booting No Kings.

There's a lot more to this rabbithole. Like how both David French and Dignity Index are "Founding Field Builder" of New Pluralists. Or like how Nina Jankowicz is a project member of Mediators Foundation - her profile is scrubbed, but I captured the archive. Or like how several of the Mediators Foundation network is involved in UN's Pact for the Future initiative.

@iamlisalogan @SKDoubleDub33 But this is enough for now.
