🧵 THREAD: The CAIR–Muslim Brotherhood–Hamas Pipeline They Don't Want You to See

This thread has been a long time coming.

Let's start with a simple fact:

In its 1988 charter, Hamas openly declares itself the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

So here's the question:
🇺🇸 Why hasn't the U.S. designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization?
Seems obvious, right?

Here’s my answer 👇

If the Muslim Brotherhood is formally labeled a terror group...

➡️ Then CAIR, founded by leaders from the Brotherhood's U.S. network, gets implicated too.

And if CAIR gets implicated…

➡️ Then so do a lot of politicians.

📍And that’s the line no one in D.C. wants to cross.

So instead, the Brotherhood stays "undesignated."
CAIR keeps the civil rights label and keeps its tax advantaged nonprofit status.
And the public is left in the dark.

Patience as I pull the receipts.Image
Image
Image
Image
CAIR was co-founded by Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad.

Awad was the public relations director for the Islamic Association for Palestine, an organization that was convicted of providing material support for the terrorism in the United States and has since been dissolved. Image
Sorry, it's hard to trace sources - I'm finding out that a lot of the information about Awad and Ahmad are censored. For example, this is Ahmad's Wikipedia page - nearly empty. Image
Where Awad was Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)'s public relations director, Omar Ahmad was its President.

IAP was one of the three subsidiaries of the Palestine Committee, all aimed at supporting Hamas. Image
Image
So, CAIR co-founders Ahmad and Awad were intimately tied with the implicated pro-Hamas IAP, which was under the Palestine Committee umbrella.

What is the Palestine Committee? Well, it was formed by the Muslim Brotherhood to advance the cause of Hamas in the United States.

Palestine Committee consisted of three sub-organizations: IAP which was its "all-purpose" public-facing organization, Occupied Land Fund (which later became the Holy Land Foundation, HLF) which was its financial organization, and United Association for Studies and Research (UASR) as its thinktank.Image
CAIR claims that it does not receive foreign funding, but that is a lie. We know of at least one instance where CAIR received $250,000 from an official Saudi bank. Image
An internal memo presented in the Holy Land Foundation case shows that CAIR was considered part of the Palestine Committee itself.

So, yes -

CAIR *is* Muslim Brotherhood. Image
Federal documents show that CAIR was indeed founded by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, and it "conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists." Image
The Obama Administration would legitimize CAIR and shield it, meeting with them "hundreds" of times. John Brennan ordered the purge of "biased" training materials that portrayed Muslims in negative light. Image
But it was not just Obama. President George W Bush stood with Nihad Awad himself at a mosque a few days after 9/11 in a press conference to condemn rising anti-Muslim sentiment. Image
Image
Obama DNI James Clapper famously labeled the Muslim Brotherhood as secular. Image
I cannot over-emphasize to what extent CAIR is deeply involved in Washington politics. Awad being a high-dollar donor to Nancy Pelosi is just one example - @bullfrog35 has documented many instances where high-ranking Democratic officials have spoken at CAIR or accepted CAIR awards or displayed CAIR letters in their offices.Image
@bullfrog35 DHS met with CAIR on civil rights issues. Image
In 2002, Saudi Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal donated $500,000 to CAIR. He was famously arrested by crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman shortly after the 2017 Vegas mass shooting. Talal allegedly owns the top 5 floors of the Mandalay Bay and is the subject of numerous conspiracy theories for that event.Image
Image
@bullfrog35 CAIR itself is explicitly an "unindicted conspirator" in a scheme to funnel millions to Hamas. Image
@bullfrog35 Documents mention that the United Arab Emirates Bin Hamoodh Group and UAE minister of finance Hamdan bin Rashid finance CAIR. Image
@bullfrog35 CAIR also approached Saudi Arabia for 50 million dollars, although the outcome of that isn't clear. Image
@bullfrog35 It wouldn't be a DataRepublican thread if I didn't point out that, yeah, Soros backed CAIR: Image
@bullfrog35 As mentioned before, many Democratic officials cooperate with CAIR. Mamdani welcomed them. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison explicitly endorses CAIR. Most recently, CAIR welcomed the July 2025 "Hijab on the Hill" event involving the Congressional Muslim Staff Association. Image
Image
Image
@bullfrog35 I will wrap up this thread for now.

But make no mistake:

Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood.
CAIR is Muslim Brotherhood.
CAIR is financed by foreign organizations.
CAIR is deep in the machine of DC politics.

The Democratic party has a foreign operative problem.

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇Image
Image
It is NOT confirmed fact that Chesny, who appeared to be encouraging running over protesters, was SPLC's informant.

But the indictment (paragraph 11a) describes informant F-37, and it matches Chesny:

• Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right
• Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC's direction)
• Made racist postings (under SPLC's supervision)
• Helped coordinate transportation for attendeesImage
Image
Now here's why this matters beyond the fraud charges.

Charlottesville became the single most consequential founding event in modern American political infrastructure. Every one of these organizations says... in their own words.... that they exist or were transformed because of August 12, 2017.

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup

@PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.

They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't.

I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler This is not my theory. This is theirs.

Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan — the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field — studied 323 regime change campaigns. Their finding:

Security force defections make campaigns FORTY-SIX TIMES more likely to succeed. Image
Image
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler So what did co-author Maria Stephan do next?

She became Chief Organizer of the Horizons Project. And on July 16, 2025, she trained New Kings participants on video.

"Security forces refused to obey orders to repress protesters."

🚨🧵 THREAD: Braver Angels says they're bipartisan and just bringing people together. Their own leadership coordinates with an anti-Trump political infrastructure network.🚨

This thread is not about BA's members. Many are sincere, and I thank @wilksopinion and @JohnRWoodJr for communicating with me.

This is about the infrastructure steering them: IMIP.

On August 18, 2025, Harry Boyte, a former Democratic Socialists of America board member, YES, that DSA announced Maury Giles' new role as Braver Angels CEO on video and their shift in strategy from depolarization to civic action:

"David has put together a featured plenary at the National Conference on Citizenship... which will be a launch of a new stage for Braver Angels that some of us have been working on for a while."

IMIP is the Inter-Movement Impact Project. It coordinates BA's strategic direction. Its own May 2025 document quotes David Brooks approvingly:

"Short term: Stop Trump. Foil his efforts. Pile on the lawsuits."

Braver Angels' members are bipartisan. Their leadership is adjacent to anti-Trump infrastructure. This thread has all the receipts.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇
@wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr IMIP's own document from May 5, 2025 quotes David Brooks and calls for a nationwide civic uprising:

"Short term: Stop Trump. Foil his efforts. Pile on the lawsuits. Turn some of his followers against him."

Then: "IMIP has been working to help answer [this] since late 2017." Image
Image
Image
Image
@wilksopinion @JohnRWoodJr Walt Roberts runs IMIP. June 30, 2025:

"We've adopted Rachel Kleinfeld's strategy number four as our thing... a broad-based, multi-stranded, pro-democracy movement."

Flood the country with NGOs (including Braver Angels) is strategy #4. What are the other four strategies?

Hello Mr. Woods, (1/4)

I appreciate you engaging, sincerely. You're one of the few people in this space who actually responded, and your tone was decent. So I want to return the courtesy... and this is my first multi-part Hello.

You wrote: "Is any organized effort that involves people working from across the aisle necessarily a conspiracy?"

No. It isn't. And I haven't called it one. I've called it what it is: a funded, coordinated, strategically managed field.

Let me start with you.

You are the National Ambassador of Braver Angels. Braver Angels pulled in $5,651,273 in 2024, up from $958,681 in 2019... mostly from major foundations.

But your public videos repeatedly frame it as a "grassroots" or "national citizens" movement.

These two things cannot both be true. A $5.6 million-per-year operation funded predominantly by major foundations is not a grassroots citizens movement. It is a professionally managed nonprofit. There is nothing wrong with that... unless you describe it as something it isn't.
(2/4)
Now, here's where it gets interesting. And here's where I think you may genuinely not know the full picture.

In the above video clip, you say:

"We are in this moment where the depolarization movement I think is beginning to coalesce. I mean, I think you and I are in a position to sort of feel it. Braver Angels, Millennial Action Project, all of the amazing organizations in New Pluralists, National Conversations Project."

You named New Pluralists by name. So let's talk about what New Pluralists actually is.

In 2017, Mark Gerzon, president of the Mediators Foundation, consultant to the United Nations Development Programme, distinguished fellow at the EastWest Institute, organized a private meeting of major political funders at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund's Pocantico Conference Center. Representatives of both the Koch and Soros networks were in the room. The project was co-launched by Stephen Heintz, President of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Out of that meeting came the New Pluralists.

Today, New Pluralists is a funder collaborative, not a standalone nonprofit. It is fiscally sponsored by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Templeton, Hewlett, Einhorn, Fetzer, Klarman, Lubetzky, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund are all partners. MacKenzie Scott gave $4 million. The stated goal is $100 million over a decade.

Braver Angels is listed as one of approximately 60 "Field Builders." So is Tim Shriver's Dignity Index. So is Horizons Project. So is David French.

The same foundations that fund the New Pluralists collaborative also fund Braver Angels directly. Templeton gave $1.26 million to Braver Angels. Hewlett gave at least $75,000 plus undisclosed seed funding. They are also governing partners of New Pluralists. The money goes to the funder collaborative AND to the organizations the collaborative funds. It is the same pipeline.

You described this as "a moment where the depolarization movement is beginning to coalesce." New Pluralist's strategic plan describes it as a $100 million coordinated investment in field infrastructure. Both descriptions are accurate. The difference is yours sounds organic. Theirs sounds like what it is.
(3/4)
You wrote: "I do know Tim Shriver. He and I did a Braver Angels podcast together."

Good. Then you know who runs the Dignity Index.

The Dignity Index is operated by Project Unite. Its theoretical framework was developed by Donna Hicks, a Harvard specialist in international conflict resolution. Its framework was designed for mediating foreign wars. Then it was applied to scoring American political speech on a 1-8 contempt-to-dignity scale. In Utah. And it was piloted at UVU, the same campus where Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

One of the official websites to come out of the Biden White House's "United We Stand" summit was dignity[.]us. That URL now points to the Dignity Index.

Braver Angels has a formal partnership with the Dignity Index. You announced it. The pledge: "connect all 124 Braver Angels alliances" with Dignity Index training.

You wrote in your thread: "The Dignity Index, as I understand it, is meant to be a tool for holding all politicians accountable."

With respect... "as I understand it" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The Dignity Index was built on a foreign conflict resolution framework, launched from a White House summit that identified populist movements as domestic threats, and piloted in the same Utah institutional ecosystem that was hosting MWEG conferences for three consecutive years at UVU. None of that requires a conspiracy. All of it is documented. Most of it is on their own websites.

🧵🚨 THREAD: Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University. Within TWO HOURS, leaders of 7 "bridge-building" organizations assembled on a conference call. Why so fast? Because UVU was THEIR campus. 🚨

This is Maury Giles, incoming CEO of Braver Angels, admitting on camera at the National Conference on Citizenship:

"Within two hours of the assassination, a group of us, all Utahns, we gathered on a call. We'd become friends over the last 5 years through our work in the community. And we also happen to be leaders in seven different national organizations that work in civic renewal."

Two hours. Seven national organizations. But this wasn't a spontaneous reaction to a tragedy. This was a network protecting its home turf. Because UVU wasn't just the place where Kirk was shot. It was the institutional center of the entire bridge-building / Dignity Index apparatus... and had been for years.

And the kicker?

These seven national organizations don't hide their own intent: replicate color revolution tactics in the United States. And, yes, that includes MWEG - Mormon Women for Ethical Government.

I have the receipts... they all admitted this on camera.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
MWEG on their own GROW video:

"UVU has sponsored for us for the past three years so that we can have it there on their campus."

UVU SPONSORED their annual conference for three consecutive years. UVU is not a neutral venue in this story. It's a partner.
A speaker on MWEG's own Civics Learning Week video from 2023 admits she got a faculty position at UVU partly BECAUSE she was involved with Braver Angels... the same organization whose incoming CEO organized the two-hour call after Kirk was killed.

🧵DC JURY POOL THREAD: DC students can't read. But they can convict.

DC spends more per student than anywhere in America, $31,629/year.

Most kids can't read at grade level.

But DCPS found the time to make progressive activist training mandatory for every student, grades 6-12.

Those students become DC jurors. Full receipts below.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇Image
Image
DC is where federal cases against political figures are tried. All 1,400+ January 6 prosecutions. Stone. Bannon. Navarro. Trump's own federal indictment.

The jury pool draws ONLY from DC residents. Image
Image
Image
DC voted 92.1% for Biden in 2020. 5.4% for Trump.

The DC Circuit ruled in 2024 (US v. Webster) that this political composition does not make DC juries unfair.

That case effectively foreclosed ALL venue challenges for Jan 6 and politically sensitive federal cases. Image
