🔥 Breaking! The Obama WhiteHouse along with the state dept was at TWO Open Government Hub events held for the Open Government Partnership!

And Samantha Powers was at the Open Government Hub grand opening on January 10, 2013 too!

This is Part 5 of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) and Open Government Hub series (OGH).

So we not only had the Serbian Otpor folks, State Dept, and USAID at the OGH, we had White House staff there too! I’m telling you, we had Government operating out of this hub! And here it is!

Here’s the first event:

“Open Government Partnership (OGP)
Criteria & Standards Subcommittee Meeting Minutes
Open Government Hub, Washington, D.C, USA February 23-24, 2016”

See the attached participant list but here’s the United States ones:

1. Corinna Zarek, White House, Office of Science Technology Policy

2. Camille Eiss, Department of State

Of course there was discussions of OGP steering committee involvement which is led and financed by the US government.

But remember Civicus being at a OGH event? The folks that want to wipe out the right? This OGH event was precipitated by a complaint from Dr Danny Sriskandarajah, Secretary General, of CIVICUS and two others.

Now here’s the next event, and I’m certain that there are more:

“Open Government Partnership (OGP)
Criteria & Standards Subcommittee Meeting Minutes
Open Government Hub, Washington, D.C, USA March 9-10, 2015”

USA Participants

1. Lawrence Sperling, Department of State

2. Corinna Zarek White House, Office of Science and
Technology Policy

Today, I also want to further clarify the cozy relationship of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) and the Open Government Hub (OGH). There was a reason they were at the same address, as well as others.

But first let me remind you that the OGP was an Obama created org. So no wonder a Global Network Leader at his foundation led it, even over the entire Trump admin.

“President Obama launched the Open Government Partnership (OGP) in 2011 at the U.N. General Assembly meeting with seven other heads of state and an equal number of leaders from civil society. The OGP has grown to a global coalition of 64 governments and hundreds of civil-society orgs.”

“Since its inception, the United States has supported the work of the Partnership, including by serving on the OGP Steering Committee, providing critical financing to the OGP Support Unit and supporting NAP implementation around the world.”

And the OGP operated in the beltway loop, aka intelligence community.

2022: “OGP in the United States has always been a primarily “inside of
the Beltway” affair,”

The OGP was actually at the beginning, at the White House, and there was talk in 2022 of placing it back there.

So let’s review a little bit of their early history. And you’ll see why they are all so cozy. I’ll follow this 🧵 with photos so you get a glimpse.

“The OpenGov Hub is an intentionally themed SHARED office space – our only membership criterion is a fit within the "opengov" theme. This means the OpenGov Hub is uniquely positioned to explore how physical co-location can promote and deepen meaningful collaboration across organizations working on similar issues.”

“The 20,000 square foot Hub serves as the physical home of 35+ organizations (mostly international development nonprofits) and over 150 people promoting diverse “opengov" reforms.”

The Open Government Partnership was actually one of the first original members at the Open Government Hub. See the 1st photo? See the big sign on the right saying OGH? On the left, you see the OGP placard along with the other first members.)

So what did the working conditions there look like? It was one big happy commune. 🥳

They also had lots of events with food and drinks, and also lots of parties with food and drink. 🥳

The first photo is their 2014 launch party. Second is the one year anniversary. Third is their first happy hour. And the fourth shows their DevCliches Rehab Night. Gee who wouldn’t want to work there? 🥳

Let’s begin sourcing the Open Government Hub grand opening day event with Samantha Powers.

January 10, 2013!

Why would Samantha Power be there? Eh? 😉

Do you recognize any of the speakers? There’s tons more there than the photos I just shared. Feel free to visit the link.

flickr.com/photos/8793349…

Now these two events in this 🧵 were under the Obama admin, but it shows that the Open Government Hub was essentially an event holder for the Open Government Partnership and other orgs. Including involving Government officials.

Civicus came up and they are the right-wing haters that held an event during the Trump admin. Along with Serbian Otpor trainers.

Open Government Partnership (OGP)
Criteria & Standards Subcommittee Meeting Minutes

Open Government Hub, Washington, D.C, USA
February 23-24, 2016

Participant list includes:

- United States
Camille Eiss Department of State

- Corinna Zarek White House, Office of Science Technology Policy

Folks a lightbulb just went off in my head, and it’s gonna be huge news!

web.archive.org/web/2022010917…

Whoops, here’s the second event. I mean to include this in my above post.

Open Government Partnership (OGP)
Criteria & Standards Subcommittee Meeting Minutes

Open Government Hub, Washington, D.C, USA
March 9-10, 2015

Participant List:

United States

- Lawrence Sperling Department of State

- Corinna Zarek White House, Office of Science and Technology Policy

web.archive.org/web/2022010917…

The Open Government Hub wants to “change” the world with advocacy etc, but to what? And how? Using Serbian Otpor activist training? Why on earth would anyone invite those folks around like they have?

“The OpenGov Hub is an intentionally themed shared office space – our only membership criterion is a fit within the "opengov" theme. This means the OpenGov Hub is uniquely positioned to explore how physical co-location can promote and deepen meaningful collaboration across organizations working on similar issues.

The 20,000 square foot Hub serves as the physical home of 35+ organizations (mostly international development nonprofits) and over 150 people promoting diverse “opengov" reforms through technology, research, media, data and advocacy.

The challenges and stakes of this work - reforming governments and changing how citizens and governments engage all around the world - are far too high for any one organization to tackle alone.

The OpenGov Hub’s mission and strategy will enable organizations on the front lines of this critical global work not only to experience cost and time savings, but also create more effective change through collaborative community.”

Folks, stay with me! I’ve been working hard! I just linked Obama to the 2020 election and January 6th.

The same goes for the state dept linked orgs data republican has been talking about.

I’m gonna push this out before my censorship work.

Whew! I’m really digging in here folks.

There were lots of activists monitoring Jan 6th in DC. On site and electronically.

Global too.

Some of my related Jan 6 work on the Backfire method was deleted from X.

Ever hear of the Backfire method? It’s when they egg other folks on at a riot.

“Be ready to harness "backfire" as a movement.

- using government repression, non-state violence and other outsized control vs demonstrators to move those watching to engage on our behalf, and to mobilize the observers against the authorities and turn sympathies towards democracy defenders.”

Sound familiar?

🔥🔥🔥Massively Huge! Rodney Joffe, from the Trump Russia Alfa Bank scandal, served under the entire first Trump administration! So this also means that he worked under DHS CISA during the 2020 election!

*This is a do over because of new information.

It appears that I have documents for all of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 showing that Rodney Joffe served on the Presidents National Security Telecommunications
Advisory Committee (NSTAC). Which is under DHS CISA.

Good lord, how did this happen? This is just totally unbelievable!

Anywho, I’ll be posting every single years docs, going backwards.

@TulsiGabbard

Here’s 2020’s first. 👇🏻

🔥🔥🔥Holy Cow! John Brennan is linked to global disinfo and anti conservative orgs! You see, the Intelligence Studies Project (ISP) that John Brennan and two other ex CIA belonged to was involved in the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) thru the Global Disinformation Lab (GDIL). It’s also affiliated with the illiberalism Studies Program.

Plus, I have a massive surprise at the end!

Remember the Texas National Security Network? It’s the entire University Of Texas state wide campus’s and its orgs. They all work together interchangeably.

Part of this Network is the LBJ School of Public Affairs. LBJ is where ex CIA John Brennan, Paul Pope, and Stephen Slick run the Intelligence Studies Program.

Both Global Disinformation Lab cofounders (Ryan Williams and Kiril Avramov) are from LBJ.

Ryan Williams headed up the Global Disinformation Labs Project Evergreen. Where they used a Policy Research Project team from the LBJ School of Public Affairs to write a database of global policy responses to disinformation.

Brennan, Pope, and Slicks Intelligence Studies Project is at LJB and often sponsored events for the Global Disinformation Lab. Just one big happy family.

The Global Disinformation Lab proclaimed an outright partnership with the Global Disinformation Index. And also worked with each other on a Disinformation Risk Assessment.

Here are the Global Disinformation Labs affiliates.

-illiberalism Studies Program
-Intelligence Studies Project
-Strauss center
-Clements center
-Center for European Studies university Texas Austin
-Center for Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES)

* Intelligence Studies Project is ran By Strauss and Clements at LBJ.

Biden’s State department worked with them too. Liz Allen the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public was their go to.

“Really appreciate US Dept of States efforts in working to understand and countering mis- and disinformation. Looking forward to jointly collaborating on these efforts!”

♦️The Illiberalism Studies Program:

“Addresses questions related to democratic backlash, the spread of authoritarianism, post-liberalism, the far right, populism and nationalism.”

“Adherents of illiberalism argue that, in the face of a liberalism that has “gone too far,” it is time to reassert the rights of the collective, or of an alleged silent majority, by restoring national sovereignty in various spheres: politically, by rejecting supranational and multilateral institutions in favor of the nation-state and preferring a strong leader.”

Plus I have a 110 page report where they compare republican Christians to Russians:

“Marlene Laruelle explores the parallel between US Christian nationalism and the Russian case of a blending of the Russian Orthodox Church with the political language of the Putin regime.

♦️Now the Global Disinformation Lab works on more than disinfo.

They work with the Army Cyber Institute of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to the tune of $250,000. This also involves Threatcasting which I have previously discussed during my CTI League files exposé. I don’t trust this disinfo lab in this arena.

They also run Project Tearline, where the military even gave it its own website. Tearline.mil

♦️ Now for even more big news! John Brennan was involved in a US Election LBJ Policy Research Project headed by Stephan Slick.

This also involved Chris Krebs, Michael Daniel, Nick Rasmussen, & more.

I have this below mentioned 243 page report and Brennan talks Russiagate outta the wazoo. I think a lot of X folks in the Spygate corner would be extremely interested in this.

“Working in collaboration with Nicholas Rasmussen, an Intelligence Studies Project Senior Fellow who serves as the director of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, Slick & his students will draft a final report to counterparts at Office of the DNI that includes recommendations to defend against future attempts to influence elections.

Sources to follow!

Let’s begin with sourcing the affiliates to the University Of Texas - Austin’s Global Disinformation Lab ( GDIL).

-illiberalism Studies Program
-Intelligence Studies Project
-Strauss center
-Clements center
-Center for European Studies university Texas Austin
-Center for Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES)

Intelligence Studies Project (ISP) is at LBJ, and is ran by Strauss and Clements.

If you look under the referenced thread in my top post, you will find sourcing for Brennan, Pope, and Slick being at ISP. And for Strauss and Clements running it.

archive.is/0nneF

Next, lemme provide a few pieces of evidence on the Global Disinformation Lab (GDIL) being partnered with the Global Disinformation Index (GDI).

♦️ Contract between GDIL and GDI

a. Compilation of media list and associated contact information for domain outreach, to the reasonable satisfaction of GDI.

b. Development of a keyword list which meets GDI’s reasonable standards in capturing adversarial
narratives in the United States of America.

c. Cleaning and anonymisation of all content for media domain review.

d. Review of at least 70 domains based on methodology and providing all relevant data entry for the
operations and content reviews, including all quantitative scores and qualitative notes for each domain that has been reviewed.

e. A summary of the key findings and trends for the media market in English (not to exceed 30 pages).

f. Organisation of an event and co-production of associated collateral activities for the public launch of the study.

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! War on the Rocks (WOTR) has some additional amazing partnerships and connections. Even leading to ex CIA staffers John Brennan, Paul Pope, Stephen Slick, and David Petraeus!

After Trumps 2016 win, John Brennan didn’t just disappear into TV land. No, he stayed involved with the vast network of the University of Texas, his Alma mater. Where a SOCOM individual, identified as a British asset, once wrote the Global Disinformation Index. Yeah you are about to see the University of Texas quite differently.

The above mentioned British asset, according to a whistleblower, was told by Obama to prevent Trump from winning again.

Where War On The Rocks comes in, is the Texas National Security Network and its Texas National Security Review.

The Texas National Security Network is vast and is essentially at least 22 entities or more enveloping the University of Texas Campus’s and orgs.

A few noteworthy examples:

- Intelligence Studies Project
- Strauss Center
- Clements Center
- University of Texas, Austin
- Texas National Security Review (WOTR)
- Etc

* University of Texas is Brennans Alma mater.

Ryan Evans (WOTR):

“As Founder and Editor-in-Chief of War on the Rocks, Ryan Evans summarizes, “think of us as the Washington-based action arm of the Texas National Security Network.”

Very interesting 🤔

♦️WOTR series part 2

War on the Rocks is partnered with the Texas National Security network to create the Texas National security Review.

In fact, the Texas National Security Network flat out CLAIMS TO SPONSOR War On The Rocks!

So, who all works with Ryan Evans of War On The Rocks at the Texas National Security Review?

- Ryan Evans (WOTR)

- David Petraeus ex CIA Dir

- James G. Stavridis, admiral

- Kathleen Hicks, senior vice president, Henry A. Kissinger Chair, and dir of the International Security Program at CSIS

- David shed, Defense Intelligence Enterprise workforce

Recall the Intelligence Studies Project is part of the Texas National Security Network. Here’s some of the staff at the Intelligence Studies Project:

- John Brennan ex cia
- Paul Pope ex cia
- Stephen Slick ex CIA

“Brennan is a Senior Advisor to the University’s Intelligence Studies Project (ISP) – a novel partnership between UT’s Clements Center for National Security and Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law.”

(Texas National Security Network is actually co-directed by the Clements Center and Strauss Center.)

4. Interesting side notes - John Brennan is a senior advisor at the International Institute of Strategic Studies headquartered in LONDON! Which is ran by the CLEMENTS and STRAUSS CENTERS!

Many of the War On The Rocks staff are from Kings College in London!

Ryan Evan’s was Kings College and OPCON/TACON to the British-led Task Force Helmand.

5. Texas Security Network leaders:

- Stephen Slick, Dir Intelligence Studies Project - CIA

- Bobby Chesney, Dir Strauss Center

- William Inboden
Executive Director - Clements Center

5. UT Austin’s Intelligence Studies Project and the Texas National Security Network announce the inaugural Texas Intelligence Academy (TIA), an intensive academic.

Students selected for the first TIA cohort will be housed in the District of Columbia and study at the UT System’s Archer Center one block from the White House.

6. So you can see the commingling here’s an event held at the University of Texas at Austin.

“Paul (Pope) is joined by John Brennan, former CIA director, retired Adm. William McRaven, former commander of the Special Operations Command, Farah Pandith, author and former National Security Council and State Department official, and Nicholas Rasmussen, former National Counterterrorism Center director. This talk took place at the University of Texas at Austin and was sponsored by the Intelligence Studies Project, the LBJ School of Public Affairs, the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law, and the Clements Center for National Security.”

All facts to be sourced.

https://twitter.com/pepesgrandma/status/2033249065996042323

To begin, I’m going to cross reference Part One which involves the War On The Rocks spinoff, Breakrock Knowledge Inc.

https://twitter.com/pepesgrandma/status/2033249065996042323

Let’s begin with the Texas National Security Network (TNSN) which sponsors War On The Rocks (WOTH). WOTR is also partnered with the Texas National Security Review.

It prioritizes accessibility for national security professionals.

♦️TNSN operates an array of programs intended to support security-relevant research.

These include:

“THE TEXAS NATIONAL SECURITY REVIEW

The Texas National Security Review (“TNSR”) will be a path-breaking journal launching later this year. It will publish peer-reviewed policy-relevant scholarship that is timely, draws on a variety of disciplines, and prioritizes accessibility for national security professionals. It is produced in close partnership with the influential foreign and defense policy blog War on the Rocks, which the Network sponsors.”

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! War on The Rocks (WOTR) has a very interesting sister org, created in 2022, called Breakrock Knowledge Inc! They claim that they have worked for the US Air Force as a Defense Dept contractor. And have had at least two ex CIA working there.

Part 1

(Recall, that WOTR were the ones who doxed the kind and sweet Cynical Publias.)

It’s headed by Ryan Evans and cofounded by Dr. Sae Schatz, a prev director of the US Defense Department's Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) program.

A third cofounder is Rick Batka. As a technical CTO and co-founder of Bedrock Learning he raised $1.15M in seed funding and architected cloud infrastructure and SDKs that scale to millions of learners while achieving SOC 2 Type II and NIST 800-171 accreditation in support of a $2M government contract.

Its director is ex CIA David Priess. Who was happy to see ex CIA, Rebecca Lewis, join their ranks. David Preiss is also a Hayden Center Senior Fellow.

Also there is Lauren Bedula, a managing director at Beacon Global Strategies. I’ve attached a 🧵, so you can see Beacon Global Strategies CIA connections.

This org is also staffed by many prev Defense Dept folks, and I’ll show those when I source.

As you know, I just post the facts that anyone can find online. So let’s continue.

In 2022 it was founded as Bedrock Learning, Inc “as a spin-off of War on the Rocks (Metamorphic Media) and is headquartered in Washington, DC”. The name was changed to Breakout Knowledge inc in 2024.

Bedrock claims they are on a, “Path to Leading the Race for AI Dominance.” Utilize war gaming, and “offers a social network that centers learning through the provision of courses, serious games, and open source intelligence streams”.

“By harnessing the power of our social network, we make it possible for individuals and organizations to not only navigate, but also illuminate the complexities of the modern world — to garner, earn, and generate knowledge. And, in doing so, create a safer and more prosperous world.”

Bedrock Privacy Policy:

“At Bedrock Learning, Inc. (“Bedrock”), we respect your privacy. We recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information..”

Sources to follow, and I have a lot! Stay tuned for Part two later on.

https://x.com/pepesgrandma/status/1650172029126037504

Part two will be even more interesting! I’ll need a second latte for this. Part one was the easy part. 😹

Let’s begin with a founders listing. You can read their mini bios here too.

Ryan Evans
Sae Schatz
Rick Batka

archive.is/qqPKL

There’s two sources here on David Priess, ex CIA, working at Bedrock. One from its earlier Bedrock Learing Inc days and another from its later Bedrock Knowledge inc days.

♦️Bedrock Learing Inc

“David Priess is Director of Intelligence at Bedrock Learning, Inc. and a Senior Fellow at the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security. He served during the Clinton and Bush 43 administrations as a CIA officer and has written two books: “The President’s Book of Secrets,” about the top-secret President’s Daily Brief, and "How To Get Rid of a President," describing the ways American presidents have left office.”
archive.is/iRPc4

♦️Bedrock Knowledge Inc

“The conversation with Gordon was moderated by Hayden Center Senior Fellow David Priess. Priess formerly worked as an intelligence officer, manager, and daily intelligence briefer for the CIA and had previously worked as a desk officer in the State Department's Near East Bureau. Currently, he is the Director of Intelligence for Bedrock Knowledge, Inc. and is a frequent commentator on national security issues both on television and in print.”

🔥🔥🔥Maybe because Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, is linked to Hamas thru Qatar? Both Mamdanis wife, and his mother, dealt with Hamas linked Qatar.

♦️Lemme splain Lucy. Rama, of Qatar, her younger years, a deep mystery no more:

Both Rama Duwaji and Mamdanis mother, Mira Nair, dealt with Hamas linked Qatar.

Rama lived in Qatar while at VCU Qatar before transferring to its Richmond campus (Virginian Commonwealth University's School of the Arts). Then worked between Washington DC and Qatar for a while.

VCU Richmond being home to a CIA course. Dunno if anything, but interesting.

Galfriend also appeared on the Bill Kristol and Sally Longwell’s Bulwark podcast.

Rama also has UK connections and has worked with a variety of clients, most notably the BBC, Apple, Spotify, VICE and the Tate Modern. She has also taught workshops on both illustration and animation alongside It’s Nice That in 2021.

How did she manage to work with the #1 British propaganda outlet (BBC)?

Rama was a Tasmeem Student Attendee (Tasmeem is a design conference held in Qatar). She has also taught and coordinated workshops at Tasmeem Design Biennial in Qatar and has worked on illustrating and designing publications with prestigious institutions like Tate Collective, Institute De Monde Árabe and Cartier.

Rama illustrated for some videos. Mamdanis mother, Mira, did films. 🤔

Mira Nairs Qatar work was funded in part by the far leftist Ford Foundation. And Qatar also bankrolled over a decade worth of films directed by Zohran Mamdani’s mom.

Photo #1 a self portrait by Rama at age 21.

I’ll post all my deep dive data below, enjoy the nuggets.

https://x.com/pepesgrandma/status/2032442698658103655

Rama Duwaji was born in Texas (Houston) and moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates when she was nine years old. She attended VCUarts’ Qatar for a year before transferring to Richmond where she graduated with a communication arts degree in 2019.

archive.is/N1pbf

Apologies on the quote that Rama worked between DC and Qatar, it was actually Dubai. Tho she did work thru Qatar for Tasmeem. Her clients listed depend on the specific article.

“Her work is often published in the UK's Galdem online magazine.”

“Rama Duwaji is a Syrian illustrator and designer with a BFA in Communication Arts, based between Dubai and Washington, DC.

Clients include: Cartier, MILLE world, Khaleejesque Magazine, Oloom Magazine, Sharaf Studio”

“Forever in solidarity with the black community and everyone out there protesting against the oppressive system they call law enforcement. it's so important to start within our own communities/families and continue to question and confront the anti-black sentiments in the Middle East and not chalk it up as a western thing!! My insta stories haven't been working for some reason (??) so swipe to see some important posts that have been on other peoples stories over the past few days #blacklivesmatter”
