🚨 ANNOUNCING NEW TOOL: NED NETWORK NAVIGATOR (BETA) 🚨
🧠 AI-POWERED. CONGRESSIONALLY FUNDED. HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.

I just shipped a crawler-indexer that rips apart the National Endowment for Democracy’s flagship Journal of Democracy archive — then stitches every author, NGO, and article summary into one laser-focused query interface. This is more than search; this is x-raying a decades-old influence machine at machine scale.

Here’s what it does:
✅ Link the Whole Web – One click surfaces every author ↔ NGO ↔ article connection, exposing the revolving door between grant-hungry nonprofits, State-adjacent think tanks, and “independent” scholars.
✅ Instant Context Summaries – AI distills thousands of pages so you see the thesis, not the fluff. No more slogging through academic euphemisms.
✅ Prefix Hunter Mode – Type “color rev” and catch every variant (“color revolution,” “color-coded revolutions,” etc.) that editors bury in footnotes.
✅ Role Detector – Flags when an author quietly moonlights on an NGO board funded by NED dollars.
✅ NGO Cross-Check – Pull EIN links straight to ProPublica filings; follow the money in two clicks.
✅ Source-First Design – Every claim traces back to the PDF or muse.jhu.org page, so NED can’t cry “misinformation.”

Why this matters:
For 40 years NED has branded regime-change lobbying as “democracy promotion,” funneling your tax money into overseas activists while scolding domestic populists as threats. Their own journal is the narrative factory — academics launder talking points that later justify sanctions, censorship, or NATO expansions. By making the entire archive searchable, we finally turn the microscope back on the operatives who insist they’re safeguarding freedom.

This is what happens when you weaponize code instead of platitudes.

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?

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

‼️💰 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑰𝒔 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒔 𝑭𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒕𝒆? 💰‼️

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.

👉 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.

In 22 CFR § 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?

@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.

🇺🇸🔥 Naming the people and NGOs behind the Biden's "Soul of the Nation" speech 🔥🇺🇸

"𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰."

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:

"𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘈𝘎𝘈 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺."

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). 👇

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.

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.

🧵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.

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.

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.
