🧵THREAD: 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
🚨 WAKE UP: This is Domestic Regime Change 🚨

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:

❌ Silencing political opposition
❌ Using courts as ideological weapons
❌ Gatekeeping elections to exclude populist voices
❌ 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.

🧵🔥 THREAD: Candace Owens on Erika Kirk, in Her Own Words

Candace, yesterday, pre-spun a @ncri_io report she hadn't read, calling it "Zionist." The report is Candace's own show. It doesn't accuse her of anything. Her own footage does that.

Before the investigation, Candace spent 40 episodes defending Erika Kirk. She called her "genuinely such a nice person." She swore that nobody "outside of my husband and Erica Kirk" had the power to shut her up. She told her audience she would stop if Erika asked.

Erika asked her to stop. Candace didn't stop. She couldn't; the investigation had become her primary subscription product. So she revoked Erika's authority the only way she could: by making Erika untrustworthy.

No new evidence appeared between the praise and the accusations; just a new business need.

And this business need may very well end up in tragedy.

Here is Candace and her audience - in their own words.

(Special credit to @SKDoubleDub33 for the music.)

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
Candace built four mutually exclusive theories about who killed Charlie Kirk. Each version contradicts the last. None had a single named source.
The closest thing Owens comes to offering actual receipts is declaring a .30-06 could not have possibly killed Kirk and left no exit wound. One that is easily debunked by searching for counter-examples. Image

🚨🧵 MAJOR BREAKING: German government has been grooming DSA leaders for over a decade, and nobody noticed? 🇩🇪

Last night, Darializa Avila Chevalier — endorsed by NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) — 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 what’s not known is DSA’s deep ties to the German government.

The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is the political foundation of Die Linke — 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 — concurrently — 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.👇
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
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

🚨🧵 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.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇Image
Image
Credit to @ParkerThayer for finding this Action Network backend and inspiring me to dig a bit deeper.
@ParkerThayer The money trail starts at Good Ventures Foundation, the private foundation of Dustin Moskovitz, Facebook co-founder.

Good Ventures is the giving vehicle for Open Philanthropy, an "effective altruism" grantmaker. Image

🚨 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.👇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?"

NCRI-US said "absolutely not."
@ItsYourGov Jafarzadeh is the registrant contact on FARA Registration #6171 for NCRI-US for Iran, on behalf of MeK. Image

🧵 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 — an Indian national on a visa who just arrived in April — 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" — 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. 👇
Shashank Joshi has been in DC for two months, and is already lecturing our military officials on what their oaths mean… 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.
