๐ŸงตTHREAD: Rachel Kleinfield and Nicole Bibbins Sedaca

I will be doing a bigger thread later on the J6 weaponization which @EagleEdMartin is investigating when I have access to Internet (doing this over a phone now) , but @labtechleigh found who appears to be an key figure who is deeply involved in our government.

In an article she published in NED Journal of Democracy, she expresses support for Germany's soft ban on AfD.Image
Rachel Kleinfeld is not a nobody. As @labtechleigh found, she serves on the NED Board of Directors. She also serves on boards of Freedom House, Protect Democracy, and States United. NED and Freedom House are largely taxpayer funded, with Freedom House having a large Open Society Foundation financing component.Image
In October 2024, she co-published an article in the NED Journal of Democracy on "How to Prevent Political Violence."

"Political violence" is a loose term here. Only populist violence ever counts as violence by these democracy groups. Actual leftist violence, such as Tesla firebombings or Black Lives Matter does not count here, and if they do, it's because they were incited by populists.Image
The article very clearly and explicitly blames Donald Trump's campaign for "cultivating relationships" (no proof) and enabling the events which led up to J6. Image
It also goes on to say that Trump himself condoned violence (no quotes, of course). So the foundation is established - Donald Trump is the problem, according to NED. Image
The solution? Besides suggesting that the US should follow the example of Germany in banning political parties, or that the Republican party should reject populist leaders like Donald Trump ... the article also claims "the sweeping arrests, investigations, and prosecutions ... tempered violent chatter"

If that's not the kind of weaponization which Ed Martin is investigating, I don't know what is.Image
The article goes onto say that "when leaders cross the line ... they must be held accountable--in the court of law, in the court of public opinion, and in the history books." Sounds a lot like what happened in 2024 with Donald Trump and lawfare. Image
The co-author, Nicole Bibbins Sedaca, served as interim president of the Freedom House. Both Kleinfe Image
๐Ÿšจ WAKE UP: This is Domestic Regime Change ๐Ÿšจ

Kleinfeld is with NED and Freedom House.
Sedaca is with Freedom House.

NED and Freedom House are soft power arms of the Washington establishment.

They are government-funded elites, using your tax dollars to push for:

โŒ Silencing political opposition
โŒ Using courts as ideological weapons
โŒ Gatekeeping elections to exclude populist voices
โŒ Justifying mass arrests & surveillance for political dissent

This is serious. They are exporting regime change abroad and now actively writing about bringing those same tactics home.

Open Society Foundation (OSF) gave grants to Al-Haq, a group designated as terrorist by Israel. Israel passed this intelligence onto the CIA, but the CIA claimed insufficient evidence for designating these groups as terrorists.

Today, we also learned that OSF also gave the International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI) grants. The IRI and NDI are subsidiaries of the National Endowment for Democracy, which is a quasi-governmental NGO which works closely with the CIA.

Did Soros money influence the CIA's refusal to designate Al-Haq as a terrorist organization?Image
I cannot emphasize how serious it is that IRI and NDI accepted Soros money. These aren't normal NGOs. These are supposed to be "soft power" vehicles operating on the behalf of the United States government.
Of all the discoveries, this makes me the most angry. Soros may very well have compromised our national security in a direct way. cc: @elonmusk

Turns out, George Soros gave $1.7 million to the IRI and $1.5 million to the NDI... two D.C.-based "democracy promotion" fronts tied to the State Department and both subsidiaries of NED.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, and Dan Sullivan all actively sit on the IRI board.

These groups were created to run on U.S. taxpayer dollars, not Soros money.

Why are either IRI or NDI taking his money? He's buying influence over both parties, and the GOP is letting him in the front door.

Hey @SenateGOP : why are you letting Soros fund your foreign ops machine?

Thanks to @bullfrog35 for spotting this.Image
In 22 CFR ยง 67.4, it says NED has a special responsibility to operate openly. @EagleEdMartin shouldn't it be disclosed that NED/IRI/NDI has taken money from a far left, regime change foundation? Image
@EagleEdMartin On their website, it says "NED raises limited private contributions from foundations, corporations and individuals to support some of its non-grant related activities." But the descriptions of the grants themselves seem to be very much grant related activity. Image

This was a quote from an extraordinary speech given by a sitting United States President. It took place on September 1, 2022, over an year after the events of January 6, and less than three years ago.

In it, he also goes onto declare:

"๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜บ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ: ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ. ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ตโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜”๐˜ˆ๐˜Ž๐˜ˆ ๐˜™๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บ."

In other words, he declared the nation cannot survive the threat of 74 million Americans sharing their opinion.

Make no mistake. The people who were behind this speech haven't gone anywhere. The moment they have a friendly White House again, this kind of divisive, authoritarian rhetoric will be back in full force.

I will be naming them and the NGOs behind them below (putting together the Tweets in live time, patience please). ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
NPR named five "experts" behind this speech: Sean Wilentz, Allida Black, Anne Applebaum, Michael Beschloss, and Jon Meacham. We will go through each of their biographies. Image
Sean Wilentz is a professor at Princeton, but he has published numerous op-eds in mainstream publications and sits on the editorial boards of Dissent and Democracy.Image

๐ŸงตTHREAD: Whoโ€™s really behind the protests?

Today in Manhattan, an "emergency protest" popped up with a professionally printed banner reading: "๐‘พ๐’๐’–๐’๐’…โ€™๐’—๐’† ๐‘ญ๐’๐’–๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ต๐’‚๐’›๐’Š๐’”? ๐‘ต๐’๐’˜โ€™๐’” ๐’€๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’„๐’†!"

This is treading close to an incitement for violence. Let's break down who organized these protests, and who finances these organizers.

I'm putting together the thread as I go, so thanks for the patience.๐Ÿ‘‡
The Manhattan protest had several co-organizers, and we'll go through them one by one. The foremost was Working Families Party: Image
Working Families Party is a far-left political party associated with the 501(c)(4) Working Families Organization, which is founded by Dan Cantor, an ACORN veteran. It is also the political party under which Letitia James was elected to the New York City council and closely associated with Bill de Blasio.Image

Why is Bill Kristol's group financing a NGO called Mormon Women for the Ethical Government? And why did this NGO just honor Thom Tillis? Image
And of course they consider foreign policy a "moral imperative." How many of those NGOs have infiltrated intersectional demographics like LDS women? I'm not LDS, but this feels super insulting. Image
This should be another AI project - mapping out the financing from "top down" NGOs like Defending Democracy Together to smaller NGOs such as this one obviously intended to manufacture consent among super-specific demographics
