🧵🧵The Unelected President: Neera Tanden, the NGO Cartel, and the Greatest Conflict of Interest in Modern American Politics

On June 24, 2025, the mask finally slipped.

Testifying before Congress behind closed doors, Neera Tanden, a longtime Democratic operative and former president of the far-left think tank Center for American Progress (CAP) she admitted to running the autopen for President Joe Biden. She didn’t just witness the signature process. She oversaw it. In some cases, she was the one signing the President’s name to executive orders and laws.

This wasn’t a technicality. This was a transfer of power. Joe Biden was not acting as President. Neera Tanden was.

And that’s only half the scandal.Image
Follow the Money: From Washington to the NGO Empire

Before stepping into the West Wing, Tanden spent years at the helm of CAP, where she helped craft a quiet revolution in federal funding strategy:

•Traditionally, federal money flowed to state and local governments, empowering elected officials to implement policy based on local needs.

•Under guidance from CAP and its policy architects including Tanden that model was dismantled.

•In its place? A massive NGO distribution network.

Rather than giving money to mayors, governors, or county agencies, the Biden administration began funneling billions in taxpayer dollars directly to “approved” nonprofit groups, many of which were politically aligned with CAP and other progressive institutions.

These NGOs became the new gatekeepers of public money, funding everything from housing to education to public health. And they weren’t accountable to voters. They were accountable to bureaucrats, often the same people who helped build them.
The Circular Scam: Tanden’s Role on Both Ends

This is where the conflict of interest becomes undeniable and explosive.

•As head of CAP, Tanden helped design the policy architecture that gave preferred NGOs outsized control of federal money.

•Later, as Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, she wielded executive authority over how those policies were implemented.

•Now, in sworn testimony, we learn she also signed the documents via autopen that activated the very programs and funding models her allies stood to profit from.

This is not just a revolving door. It’s a closed loop of power and money.

Neera Tanden wasn’t just advising on policy. She was authoring executive orders, overseeing disbursements, and enabling unaccountable NGOs to control billions of dollars—while holding the pen with Joe Biden’s name on it.
Biden the Figurehead, Tanden the Executor

The June 24 revelations confirmed what critics have long suspected: Joe Biden was no longer exercising the powers of the presidency.

Whether due to cognitive decline, political shielding, or deliberate administrative design, he wasn’t governing. Tanden was.

And that raises urgent constitutional questions:
•Who authorized her to sign legally binding documents?

•How many billions were distributed under autopen signatures?

•Which NGOs benefited and what role did they play in Democratic electoral operations?
The Hidden Cartel of Influence

Tanden’s NGO network isn’t a conspiracy it’s a documented reality:

•Center for American Progress, along with allied groups like Arabella Advisors, Indivisible, and the Tides Foundation, helped coordinate nonprofit entities that received government contracts and grants.

•Many of these organizations now sit on millions of dollars in unspent taxpayer funds administered without local oversight or transparency.

•These same networks have been tied to political activism, lawfare against conservative policies, and progressive social engineering efforts at the local level.

And the woman who helped build them? She was the one quietly signing the checks.
The Bottom Line: A Quiet Coup

Neera Tanden was never elected. She was never confirmed by the Senate for a major Cabinet post. Her radical policy views were considered too extreme even by members of her own party.

Yet for nearly two years, she:

•Signed executive orders and laws as if she were President

•Directed billions in federal spending

•Oversaw a system that enriched and empowered a partisan nonprofit cartel

This isn’t just a conflict of interest. It’s a constitutional and ethical crisis.

The American people were told Joe Biden was their President. In reality, they were governed by a progressive operative with a pen and no mandate.
There Must Be Consequences

This is not just political malpractice. It is a subversion of democratic government and a potential criminal abuse of power.

If an unelected staffer can impersonate the President, override the chain of command, and direct billions to partisan NGOs with no accountability, then we are no longer a republic we are something far more dangerous.

Congress must pursue criminal charges. Investigations are not enough. This wasn’t incompetence it was corruption by design. And it must be prosecuted as such.

🧵🧵The JCPOA Grift: How the Iran Nuclear Deal Enriched Elites, Empowered Terror, and Sold Out American Interests

When the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed in 2015, it was hailed as a landmark diplomatic success. The Obama administration framed it as a nonproliferation victory that would place Iran’s nuclear program in a box while opening the door to a more stable Middle East.

In reality, it became one of the most elaborate geopolitical grifts in modern history.

The JCPOA not only failed to stop Iran’s nuclear program but actively empowered its terror network, enriched a regime that brutalizes its own people, and created a sprawling international influence ecosystem that connected Western elites, think tanks, and multinational corporations to the Iranian economy and its global ambitions.

Billions of dollars flowed through banks, consulting firms, and policy organizations many of which were closely aligned with the architects and defenders of the deal.
The Illusion of Compliance — How Iran Played the West

The JCPOA was built on a false premise: that Iran’s regime could be trusted to comply with international agreements in good faith. Instead, Tehran used the deal to bide time, refine its weapons capabilities, and play a dangerous game of deception with the West.

•Uranium Enrichment: While the JCPOA capped enrichment at 3.67% U-235, Iran retained its infrastructure. By 2020, it was openly enriching to 20%, and by 2022, to 60%—just below weapons-grade. The IAEA has repeatedly warned that Iran now possesses enough fissile material for several nuclear warheads if it chooses to weaponize.

•Advanced Centrifuges: Iran installed and tested next-generation IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges—far more efficient than older models. These were banned under the deal, but Tehran claimed they were for “research” while spinning them in secret facilities.

•Inspections Loopholes: The JCPOA barred IAEA access to military sites—which were likely to house Iran’s most sensitive research. Iran exploited this gap, denying inspectors entry while sanitizing sites suspected of hosting nuclear weapons experiments.

•The Tehran Nuclear Archive: In 2018, Israel’s Mossad revealed a secret nuclear archive stored in Tehran, confirming Iran had lied about its nuclear weapons program. The documents showed detailed warhead designs, detonation calculations, and ongoing research long after the JCPOA was signed.

These weren’t technical violations. They were strategic betrayals, made possible by a weak deal and willful Western blindness.
Where the Money Went — Terror, Missiles, and Proxy War

The Obama administration released over $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets as part of the JCPOA’s implementation, with assurances that the funds would be used for economic reform and humanitarian needs.

Instead, the regime went on a regional spending spree:
•Hezbollah: Received hundreds of millions in new funding. Expanded rocket arsenals, dug cross-border tunnels into Israel, and increased training facilities in Syria.

•Hamas: Iran resumed funding after a brief freeze. Rebuilt underground tunnel networks, acquired longer-range missiles, and sparked repeated conflicts with Israel.

•Houthis in Yemen: Iran armed them with ballistic missiles and drones. By 2019, they had the capability to strike Saudi oil fields and UAE airports, destabilizing Gulf security.

•Iraqi Shia Militias: Kata’ib Hezbollah and other Iran-backed militias used JCPOA cash to acquire weapons, launch attacks on U.S. bases, and dominate Iraqi politics.

•Syria: Iran’s IRGC and Quds Force used the funds to prop up Bashar al-Assad, leading to 500,000+ dead in the civil war and the use of chemical weapons on civilians.

Meanwhile, Iran’s ballistic missile program accelerated. Despite language in the JCPOA that “called upon” Iran not to test such missiles, Tehran did so multiple times, unveiling missiles with slogans like “Israel must be wiped out.”

🧵 THREAD: How Jeffrey Sachs Engineered America’s Open Borders Agenda with Help from Catholic Charities and Soros.

1/
Jeffrey Sachs isn’t just a soft-spoken economist.

He’s the quiet architect behind the ideological machinery pushing open borders, weaponized migration, and globalist anti-sovereignty policies.
2/
In the 1990s, Sachs gained fame as a “fixer” of collapsing economies in Latin America and Eastern Europe.

His tool? Structural adjustment gut national protections, flood the labor market, and let NGOs take over the social safety net.

Sound familiar?
3/
While Sachs called this “economic stabilization,” it devastated domestic industries and displaced millions driving mass migration into the U.S.
The same Sachs who wrecked local economies now says the U.S. must absorb the fallout in the name of “justice.”

🧵🧵 Let’s do a deep dive into 50501 (the supposed decentralized grassroots organization that has organized all of these protests during the second Trump term).

50501 was the organizer for the Anti-Tesla protests and this No Kings protest yesterday.

And while the Democrats and the media are trying to tell you this is a group that was started by some Reddit user that is completely decentralized. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The 50501 name first appeared on Reddit earlier this year.

User “Evolved Fungi” called for protests in every state first on Feb 5, then again on President’s Day and then this No Kings day.

What followed wasn’t chaos. It was coordination.

The branding? Unified.
The messaging? Tested.
The rollout? Seamless.
This “grassroots decentralized” group has a professionally design website, custom petitions by state, volunteer management platforms, event permit templates, social media toolkits, focus group tested slogans like No Kings.

Sounds like a high level comms campaign from top Democrat strategists.

And you know what it actually is.

🧵🧵Neville Singham: CCP, Iran and the destabilization of America.

I have been doing threads on this guy for over a year but since he’s back in the news here is one large thread that encompasses his involvement in all things pro-CCP, pro-Iran, anti-America and anti-West.
Singham (ex‐CEO of ThoughtWorks, now Shanghai-based) and wife Jodie Evans have funneled money via dark‐money nonprofits (e.g. United Community Fund, Justice Education Fund) to groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation, ANSWER Coalition, People’s Forum.

All of these groups were highly involved in organizing the college campus protests against Israel and now the anti-ICE protests.

He shares office space with CCP-linked Maku Group; his network backs BreakThrough News—a media platform that promotes pro-Chinese government narratives through carefully curated content designed to echo Beijing’s global messaging strategy.Image
The Shanghai-based office where Neville Singham and his wife Jodie Evans operate is more than just a workspace, it’s a central hub for cross-border ideological coordination. Located in a sleek, modern glass-and-steel building in Shanghai, the office is shared with the Maku Group, a state-affiliated Chinese media entity that openly aligns with the Chinese Communist Party’s directive to “tell China’s story well,” a phrase frequently used in official CCP propaganda campaigns.

Inside the space, visitors have reported propaganda-style banners, images of Xi Jinping, and conference rooms used for youth indoctrination sessions that resemble ideological training events. The physical layout resembles a Western media startup complete with open-floor planning, media booths, and communal lounges but the aesthetic is infused with revolutionary and Marxist artwork celebrating collectivist ideals.

🧵THREAD: How the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrated America’s leftist movement and why it matters now more than ever.

This has been a slow march through academia, civil rights, and immigration activism since the 1960s.

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna. It’s long game?

A global Islamic state ruled by sharia. But not by force alone by infiltration.

Civil society. Culture. Law.
They called it Dawah—ideological warfare.

And that is exactly what they have been doing with their until alliance with the leftist Marxists.
1. Build U.S. front groups.
2. Use “civil rights” as a shield.
3. Exploit open societies to weaken them.

1991 Muslim Brotherhood strategy memo uncovered by the FBI found as follows:

“A kind of civilization-jihad in America… a process of settlement… to eliminate and destroy Western civilization from within.”
It all started in the 1960s with the Muslim Students Association (MSA) on college campuses.

Followed by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Council…cultivating American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Each one grew roots inside American institutions.

These orgs embedded themselves in:
✅ Universities
✅ Think tanks
✅ The media
✅ The legal system
✅ The Democratic Party

They partnered with leftist causes because they share values, but because they share enemies.

And if there is anything that people should have learned it is what happens when the Islamists and communists team up the Islamists shut up the communists real fast.

🧵 THREAD: How Biden’s Justice40 Agenda Is Bankrolling the Anti-ICE/Anti-America protests in LA.

Biden’s Justice40 was sold as a “climate equity” plan. In reality, it’s a multi-billion-dollar redistribution scheme sending federal money straight into the pockets of leftist NGOs, many of which have deep ties to activist networks and “community organizers” who end up fueling street unrest.
On paper: 40% of all federal climate/infrastructure money must benefit “disadvantaged communities.”

In practice: money is laundered through “environmental justice” groups that double as activist nonprofits, many with political agendas far removed from infrastructure.

Funds don’t go directly to roads or clean water. They go to “intermediary” organizations—nonprofits with progressive missions that then subcontract to “partners,” “youth coalitions,” or “local leaders” who push woke ideology and organize “community resistance.”
Justice40-linked funds also:
•Organize protests
•Promote radical agendas like prison abolition and open borders
•Provide “legal aid” and bail funds to violent agitators
Some are even part of coalitions pushing to defund police and dismantle ICE.

The LA riots didn’t come out of nowhere. They were the predictable outcome of taxpayer-funded activist ecosystems:
•NGO-funded “organizers” stir up outrage over ICE raids
•Mobilization happens in hours
•Street chaos erupts
•Legacy media plays cleanup crew.
