EXCLUSIVE: MS NOW national security reporter @RohdeD attacked President Trump’s election warning about China.

@RohdeD traveled to China with a leading Chinese Communist Party influence org offering these trips in exchange for “favorable coverage.”

Conflict of interest? 🧵

The China-United States Exchange Foundation is tied to China’s United Front system, which works to “co-opt and neutralize sources of opposition” to the Chinese Communist Party.

The State Department has described it as a “magic weapon” for advancing CCP political influence overseas.

Rohde disclosed his participation in one of CUSEF’s journalist delegations in a Reuters article that has since been deleted:

“Four other journalists and myself are visiting China this week on a trip organized by the China-United States Exchange Foundation.”

He described CUSEF as an organization “run by businessmen with close ties to the Chinese government.”

EXC: Some of the biggest names in media participated in private dinners and China trips organized by a Chinese Communist Party influence operation seeking to generate “favorable coverage” and “disseminate positive messages” about China.

The outlets named include:

• CNN
• The New York Times
• The Washington Post
• Reuters
• The Wall Street Journal
• Bloomberg
• BBC
• Associated Press
• TIME
• The Atlantic

🧵

The group behind the effort was the China-United States Exchange Foundation.

CUSEF was founded the Vice Chairman of China’s leading international influence and espionage organization — the United Front.

The U.S. government says its purpose is to:

“co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition” to the Chinese Communist Party.

CUSEF’s American lobbying firm described its objective in a FARA filing:

“effectively disseminate positive messages to the media, key influencers and opinion leaders, and the general public.”

The filings then explain exactly how the group planned to achieve it.

EXCLUSIVE: The Left is building a new voting bloc out of America’s homeless population.

Documents reveal a coordinated operation turning shelters and housing providers into voter-registration hubs, mail-ballot sites, and turnout machines.

Here’s how it works. 🧵

The instructions are explicit:

“Shelters and social services agencies should also consider allowing clients to use their addresses and to receive mail-in ballots at their sites.”

Shelters would no longer just house people. They would become part of the ballot infrastructure.

Other guidance says homeless voters can use a shelter or other “place of temporary residence” as the address for requesting a ballot.

That means ballots can be sent to shelters and service providers while organizers use those same facilities to register and mobilize voters.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: I uncovered documents showing a Berlin-based network steering foreign donors toward a $19 million, Hillary-linked voter operation designed to “change the outcomes of national elections” and generate 200,000+ votes in key U.S. races.

(Just $94 a vote!)

The documents say it plainly:

“Freedom2Vote… can receive funds from both US and foreign donors.”

And:

“A non-partisan organisation under US tax law… It can receive funds from both US and foreign donors.”

This is their foreign donor pitch.

The American machinery behind Freedom2Vote is Civitech, an explicitly Democratic political-tech firm led by a former Hillary Clinton voter-protection official.

Civitech says its partisan models “minimize unintended Republican registrations.”

EXC: Left-wing foundations are backing a campaign to bring the Qur’an into American churches.

A Chicago group is urging pastors to read it from the pulpit — telling Christians:

“Be as generous a reader of the Quran as you are of the Bible.”

🧵

This isn’t random activism.

CITC is tied to Interfaith Alliance — a national network pulling in millions.

In 2023 alone:
➡️ ~$2.87M revenue
➡️ ~$1.4M in grants

Donors include the Rockefeller Family Fund and Communities Foundation of Texas.

CITC’s leaders just published a book: Confronting Islamophobia in the Church: Liturgical Tools for Justice.

It explicitly calls on churches to “weave Islamic scripture into the lectionary calendar” and to stop seeing Islam as “a security threat” and instead as something they “ought to know about.”

1/ 🚨 EXCLUSIVE

Democrat-aligned activists are war-gaming AI for “tactical” protest operations, including VR training simulations and discussion of drone use, modeled on military-style planning.

🧵👇

2/ The document - How AI Can Support Democracy Movements - was shaped by figures deeply embedded in Democrat protest politics and USAID-funded “democracy promotion” networks, including Erica Chenoweth, whose work overlaps with progressive activism and lawmakers such as Pramila Jayapal.

This is the same ecosystem long used overseas now applied domestically.

3/ The report begins by identifying what it calls a serious operational weakness in modern protest movements:

“A large gap exists in social movements’ ability to use AI tools for their own tactical, strategic, and organizational needs.”

It then defines what those “needs” actually are.
