๐ŸงตTHREAD: GEORGE SOROS, THE MASTERMIND

Today's systems of NGOs isn't accidental - it was laid out in a vision 30 years ago by none other than George Soros.

I joined @MikeBenzCyber on a livestream last night, where he was kind enough to walk us through the basics.

As my bio says, I am just a tool builder. I am not a historian or academic. The information in this thread is common knowledge for many. It wasn't for me.

I want to walk you through an essay which Mike pointed me to- a chilling essay written in 1993 by George Soros, "Toward a New World Order: The Future of NATO"Image
The essay lays out a new mission for NATO after the cold war. NATO would no longer be a defensive alliance against Russia - that is obsolete. Instead, it would proactively go out and shape other countries into "open societies." "[๐‘ต๐‘จ๐‘ป๐‘ถ'๐’” ๐’๐’†๐’˜] ๐’Ž๐’Š๐’”๐’”๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’Š๐’” ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’”๐’• ๐’…๐’†๐’‡๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’… ๐’Š๐’ ๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’Ž๐’” ๐’๐’‡ ๐’๐’‘๐’†๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’„๐’๐’๐’”๐’†๐’… ๐’”๐’๐’„๐’Š๐’†๐’•๐’Š๐’†๐’”."
Soros re-defined peace and security not as absence of war, but in terms of how many countries are "open societies."

โ€œ๐‘ท๐’†๐’‚๐’„๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’”๐’†๐’„๐’–๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’š... ๐’…๐’†๐’‘๐’†๐’๐’… ๐’‡๐’Š๐’“๐’”๐’• ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’‡๐’๐’“๐’†๐’Ž๐’๐’”๐’• ๐’๐’ ๐’‚ ๐’”๐’–๐’„๐’„๐’†๐’”๐’”๐’‡๐’–๐’ ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’•๐’ ๐’๐’‘๐’†๐’ ๐’”๐’๐’„๐’Š๐’†๐’•๐’š.โ€

In other words, NATO's new mission: if a country doesn't adopt Western-style capitalism and liberalism, NATO should step in... politically, economically, and eventually, militarily.Image
๐Ÿง  What is an "Open Society?"

The term was coined by philosopher Karl Popper and expanded in this 1993 essay. Soros, of course, would go on to build a coalition of NGOs and interfere in the US Elections under his "Open Society Foundation" banner.

Here are the elements of an "Open Society" in theory:
๐Ÿ”นDemocracy
๐Ÿ”นFree markets
๐Ÿ”นCivil rights
๐Ÿ”นMinority protections
๐Ÿ”นTransparency
๐Ÿ”นA "global" rules-based order

In practice, Open Society means something very different. Let's go through the essay.

Translation:
You're an open society if you accept our interpretation of pluralism and Western values. Otherwise, we'll label you "closed," even if your people elect their leaders or protect cultural traditions. And this gives us pretext to justify military actions on you.Image

Translation: We pour aid into countries that remake themselves in Soros' image. And no amount of money is too much to accomplish that- because, again, we have redefined "peace" to mean "as many countries follow the Open Society model as possible."

And if aid fails, then military intervention is next.Image
Take a moment to think about this.

What do you think this means for anyone who is opposed to foreign aid?

They are agents of "closed societies."
They are a threat to national security.
Ergo...
They are a threat to democracy.

Sound familiar?

This point is perhaps the most ironic one. A "Democracy" according to George Soros is not decided by its own citizens. Instead, NATO's new mission is to impose their own ideology on others and build countries which agree with Soros.Image

Translation - if bribing a country with endless amount of foreign aid doesn't work to transform them from inside out, then NATO will intervene. And that's exactly what NATO did with Bosnia in 1994.

This isn't a theoretical essay. Washington implemented the playbook.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ 1994: Partnership for Peace launched

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ 2008โ€“2022: Ukraine, Georgia seek NATO pathway
๐Ÿ—“๏ธ 2023: Finland joins NATO, Sweden follows
Why did everyone go along with this model? Simple. Enormous amounts of money was involved. Here's a list who benefited:

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ผ NGO Networks (Open Society Foundations, USAID, NED)
โ†’ More influence, more contracts, more justification for expansion

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Bureaucrats & Diplomats
โ†’ Career advancement via โ€œdemocracy-buildingโ€ missions

๐Ÿ’ฐ International Donors & Foundations
โ†’ Steer reforms through grant-making power

๐Ÿ’ณ IMF & World Bank
โ†’ Lend to reforming nations in exchange for austerity + influence

๐Ÿข Private Equity & Multinationals
โ†’ Buy up privatized industries on the cheap (telecoms, oil, infrastructure)

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Western-Aligned Politicians
โ†’ Receive aid, praise, and protection... even if theyโ€™re corrupt or undemocratic

๐Ÿ‘‘ Post-Communist Oligarchs
โ†’ Enrich themselves through Western-advised privatization

๐Ÿ“ฐ Journalists & Activists
โ†’ Funded by Western grants, shielded from local accountability

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ Professors & Think Tanks
โ†’ Get fellowships, scholarships, media access for pushing "open" values

๐Ÿ“ฑ Big Tech
โ†’ Enter new markets post-liberalization (data access, censorship tools, ad revenue)

๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ Mainstream Media
โ†’ Shape narratives, control legitimacy labels: โ€œreformerโ€ vs โ€œstrongmanโ€
And if you dare to cut off that money spigot... in other words, if you practice any kind of populist principles or try and assert agency for your own nation:

You are an enemy of democracy.

Because George Soros said so.

/Thread end ๐Ÿงต
I keep messing up this thread. Here is the continuation:
FINAL NOTE:
Don't confuse George Soros's model of NATO promoting "open societies" with being anti-communist.

Soros didn't oppose the Soviet Union because it was communist.

He opposed it because it was nationalist. It resisted foreign influence and maintained centralized control over its own ideology and borders.

His vision of an "open society" blends left-wing radicalism (identity politics, anti-tradition, anti-sovereignty) with globalist structures (NGOs, Western institutions, and transnational finance).

The more you read his writings, the clearer it becomes that "Open Society" is a circular label for regimes that accept Soros-style politics.

Anyone who resists this framework is cast as an enemy of "democracy." And if you're MAGA, that means you.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿงต MAJOR BREAKING: German government has been grooming DSA leaders for over a decade, and nobody noticed? ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Last night, Darializa Avila Chevalier โ€” endorsed by NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) โ€” beat a five-term incumbent to win New York's 13th congressional district.

@AsraNomani has been reporting on their ties to Cuba and the China/Singham network. But whatโ€™s not known is DSAโ€™s deep ties to the German government.

The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is the political foundation of Die Linke โ€” the German parliamentary party formed from the merger of the Party of Democratic Socialism, itself the legal successor to East Germany's ruling Marxist party, the SED.

Under German law, every party in the Bundestag gets a taxpayer-funded foundation. Die Linke's share is approximately EUR70MM annually.

Most German party foundations sponsor conferences, publish research, and fund exchange programs. What RLS-NYC did was put its own staff inside DSA's organizational leadership โ€” concurrently โ€” for over a decade.

In 2012, RLS opened a New York office. EIN 45-3658022. Their own annual report states: "With the help of funds from the BMZ and the Foreign Office, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung maintains a network of international relationships. This includes financing its foreign offices."

Over the last 13 years, Berlin has sent millions to this office.

Despite these ties, no FARA registration for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung was identified in the Department of Justice database.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.๐Ÿ‘‡
Neal Meyer is listed on the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation's payroll as "Project Manager."

Meyer previously served as NYC-DSA's chapter treasurer from 2016 to 2018. Image

On January 15, Meyer published "Big Stakes in the Big Apple" on , a strategic analysis of DSA's electoral prospects after Mamdani's mayoral victory.

One week later, NYC-DSA voted endorse Darializa Avila Chevalier for NY-13. rosalux.nycImage

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿงต BREAKING - The "conservative" protest against AI data centers has an anti-ICE NGO organizer, a DSA member, Facebook money.

Other than that, totally grassroots.

Axios ran an "exclusive" Wednesday about a "conservative group" called Humans First planning a nationwide day of protest against AI data centers on July 18. Amy Kremer is chairing it and invoking the Tea Party.

Axios didn't mention that Humans First was incubated by the Center for AI Safety, an organization funded with millions from Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Or that its original staff included a Sunrise Movement organizer who sat in at Pelosi's office with AOC and a DSA member who organized for Kamala Harris.

NBC News described CAIS as having founded Humans First "to be a sort of Trojan horse to make AI safety issues more palatable to a conservative political audience."

@ParkerThayer exposed the Action Network backend.

Credit to @ParkerThayer for finding this Action Network backend and inspiring me to dig a bit deeper.

๐Ÿšจ THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012.

No, this is not a joke.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003.

Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16+ hour days and forced divorces.

Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK's leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval - numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime.

As Pence's former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it's helpful to recall this.

Receipts below. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Image
In an interview with @ItsYourGov , National Council of Resistance of Iran director and MeK representative Alireza Jafarzadeh was asked directly: "Is your group involved in any sort of lobbying or payments for speeches to prominent individuals such as Mike Pompeo?"

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Shashank Joshi, a foreign think tank careerist, has a 16-year record of attacking US foreign policy... and now he's lecturing our military leadership on how to take the oath. Why does he still have a work visa?

He's an Indian national who arrived in April and is already the loudest critic of the Pentagon on social media.

The Economist's new Washington Bureau Chief โ€” an Indian national on a visa who just arrived in April โ€” went on a Canadian national security podcast literally titled "The Problem of America" and said this about US military operations:

"They have attacked scores of small boats in the Pacific and the Caribbean. They've killed dozens of people in a campaign that is, by most accounts, quite illegal and contrary to international law."

That's Shashank Joshi, @shashj . Defence editor turned bureau chief. Two months in the country and he's already built a 16-year paper trail calling American power "malevolent," "predatory," and "quite illegal" โ€” while sitting on the advisory board of a UK think tank funded by the European Commission, BAE Systems, and the US State Department.

And he's now lecturing our military leadership on what it means to take the oath.

I have the receipts.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐Ÿ‘‡
Shashank Joshi has been in DC for two months, and is already lecturing our military officials on what their oaths meanโ€ฆ even though his entire record is criticizing the US military.

Who is he, exactly? Image
He's an Indian national. Cambridge. Enrolled in a Harvard PhD program... but his public profiles list no doctorate, suggesting he dropped out. Senior Research Fellow at RUSI, the world's oldest defence think tank. Then a stint at the Tony Blair Institute. The Economist hired him as Defence Editor in 2018. Promoted to Washington Bureau Chief, April 2026.Image

I've been relatively quiet on the subject of right-wing influencers who defected from MAGA.

But if they are actually proposing unity with left wing populist movements, then they are proposing unity with Communists.

That is the red line for me.
Everyone has their opinion on the Iran war or Israel. Maybe that opinion is enough to deter them from supporting Trump. I may not agree with it, but I understand where it comes from and it's a free country.

But when that turns into allying with Communists - that's when I have to speak up.
Institutional left-wing populism IS Communism. I'm not using it as a slur as in everyone to the left is a Communist. I mean it literally.

I'm talking about PSL, CODEPINK, Singham groups. The movements on the left that are anti-globalist are overwhelmingly Marxist.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿงต BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. ๐Ÿšจ

Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction."

But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server.

UndoTrump[.]org โ€” launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" โ€” collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships.

4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication.

And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database.

The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again.
