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.

๐Ÿ”น In college, Barack Obama helped co-found a local chapter of CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador), a U.S. group that supported the FMLN, a Marxist guerrilla front fighting the U.S.-backed Salvadoran government.

๐Ÿ”น CISPES often worked alongside the Nicaragua Network, which championed the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. (U.S. intelligence later confirmed that the Sandinistas supplied El Salvadorโ€™s rebels with weapons and training.)

๐Ÿ”น As the solidarity scene matured:

โ€ข 1985: Nicaragua Network + Detroit CISPES โžก๏ธ merge โ†’ CASC (Central America Solidarity Committee)
โ€ข 1993: CASC + MICAH โžก๏ธ merge โ†’ OSCA (Organization in Solidarity with Central America)
โ€ข 1998: Former Nicaragua Network activists incorporate the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), folding their old network inside as a project.

Today AFGJ still operates as a left-wing umbrella group ... the same lineage that began with 1980s โ€œsolidarityโ€ campaigns.

So yesโ€ฆ the activist ecosystem that once rallied for Marxist guerrillas in Central America evolved, merged, and rebranded, and figures like Obama (via early CISPES work) and later Bill Ayers (through AFGJ-linked circles) both trace lines back into that same network.Image
Image
Image
Image
CISPES (of which Obama founded a local chapter, according to David Garrow) was found to have furnished funds to Marxist rebels in El Salvador, in possible violation of the Firearms Control Act.

They also met with FMLN, potentially violating FARA.

The report goes onto detail other allegations that weren't substantiated, such as CISPES taking direction from foreign governments on when and where to demonstrate.Image
I found a declassified CIA document that states that Farid Handal, brother of the Salvadoran Communist leader, traveled to meet with representatives of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to create these solidarity networks in the USA -- including CISPES. Image

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisibleโ€™s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Taking a break from book writing for this...

This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. โœŠ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.

Now, theyโ€™re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. ๐Ÿ‘‘โŒ

This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and whatโ€™s really behind the โ€œNo Kingsโ€ movement.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together in real time.
๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Image
Image
When you go to the NoKings website, you'll find over a hundred partners listed, many of them familiar and many Soros-backed. They include big names closely tied to the DNC such as Marc Elias' Democracy Forward.
Greenberg and Levin are co-founders of Indivisible. Other than donor-advised funds, their backing primarily comes from Open Society and Fund for a Better Future. The latter is a shadowy nonprofit backed by Sergey Brin and played a key role in the infamous "Build Back Better" campaign of 2020.Image

Does anyone know how the SPLC is funded? They report receiving over $100MM in contributions each year, but CauseIQ shows they receive few large grants from other nonprofits; they report only 26MM and that's over multiple years. That's unusual. (And, no, they don't report receiving government money.)Image
I think I'm onto something. They get paid as vendors by a ridiculous number of nonprofits: Image

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Richard Grenell: praising "diplomacy" with Maduro, Chevron, and the pro-Venezuelan MAGA faction ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช

Just last week, Grenell declared:

"I've sat across from Nicolรกs Maduro... I believe we can still have a deal. I believe in diplomacy. I believe in avoiding war."

Maduro is a Communist tyrant who has upended hundreds of thousands of lives, Venezuela is the self-declared capital of Antifa, and serves as the Western hemisphere proxy for Chinese and Iranian interests.

Why is President Trump's special envoy talking like this on stage in Asunciรณn? ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡

The answer goes a lot deeper and darker than you'd think.

This might be my most controversial thread yet... but it involves a whole lot of MAGA players who are invested in maintaining the status quo with Venezuela, mostly through Chevron oil licenses.
For a long time, Chevron has had its tentacles on MAGA. Back on May 6th, a coordinated messaging campaign went up among multiple mega-influencers. Two days after that, one of the most famous MAGA influencers wrote her first op-ed concerning Chevron and China messaging. I redact the name because I don't want to make it about her.Image
Image
This early May timing coincided with the threat to shut down Chevron leases on May 27.

Earlier this year, Harry Sargeant III was identified as the one who opened up communications between Maduro and Grenell in an attempt to create an "oil-for-migrants" deal. His Image

@MrAndyNgo Here's the account. Have fun.
@MrAndyNgo This might be the first case of "Democracy Theory" radicalizing a killer (as opposed to the usual trans/antifa motives). He followed all the democracy folks. Posted a lot about saving democracy. Image
