๐Ÿงต๐Ÿšจ MAJOR BREAKING: THE 4-DAY MIRACLE, or How MWEG and a 500-Org Coalition Weaponized Charlie Kirk's Assassination ๐Ÿšจ

1,400 people. 20+ organizations. 3 professionally moderated panels. 4 days after an assassination. Does this sound organic to you?

September 14, 2025 (a Sunday, no less) the "Dignity Over Violence" zoom goes live. The coalition's central resource was a website called turntoward[.]us registered by Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) ONE DAY after Charlie Kirk was shot dead at UVU. Registrant email: internal.support@mweg.org

"Turn Toward." Now say "Turning Point." Did they name the campaign after the dead man's organization to advance their own political agenda?

I'm going to reverse-engineer how you mobilize 20 NGOs in 4 days... because you CAN'T. Not unless the infrastructure was already built.

I dare you, @mormonweg , to explain how these receipts are "absolutely false."

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
STEP 1: You need a pre-existing ACTIVATION LIST. A searchable database of organizations ready to mobilize on command.

The #ListenFirst Coalition has existed since 2017. 500+ organizations. Backbone staff. Working groups. A "Marketing Intelligence Hub." A "Storytelling & Media Relations Hub." Congressional testimony pipeline. Coordinated media with WSJ, WaPo, PBS.Image
This is the same Listen First project that was described here:
Here's what that infrastructure looks like. Carolyn Lukensmeyer presents the "Healthy Democracy Ecosystem Map," 10,000+ organizations, 1,500 bridge-builders, searchable by state, city, ZIP CODE. Built October 2024, eleven months before Kirk was killed.

When you need 20+ orgs on a zoom call in 4 days, you don't make phone calls. You query a database.
STEP 2: You need a TEMPLATE, a crisis playbook that's been tested before.

They say it on camera: "RELAUNCHED." His word. Not "responded." Not "created." RELAUNCHED.

This was a relaunch of the #BetterThanThis campaign they FIRST launched after the Trump assassination attempt in July 2024. They had a crisis template from 14 months earlier. Kirk's death was deployment number two.
STEP 3: You need a domain, a website, and an op-ed ... all coordinated and deployed within 24 hours.

September 11, one day after Kirk was killed: Elizabeth Maravilla, MWEG's Director of Operations, registered turntoward[.]us. Registrant email: internal.support@mweg.org.

Braver Angels, which organized the conference, references the website as a key resource.Image
Image
Soon after, 7 organizations (including Braver Angels, Dignity Index, and MWEG) published a joint op-ed in Deseret News to launch the website.

"Turn Toward." A play on "Turning Point." Registered 24 hours after Charlie Kirk was shot. Sit with that. Image
Image
Image
September 12, two days after: Press conference at the Utah State Capitol. Toolkit already printed and distributed. Multiple speakers. Coordinated press cycle.

One of their resources: Dignity Index, a social credit rating system. Image
Image
STEP 4: You need people EMBEDDED at the campus.

MWEG has faculty at UVU's Center for Constitutional Studies. Their 2026 conference was HELD at UVU. Image
Image
In fact, Jen Thomas appears to have been scheduled to give a guest lecture on September 11. (I can't find the original post, but the raw Brave API results does have it.) Image
Here's Thomas herself speaking at the September 14 virtual meeting:
Thomas has been embedded in the Inter-Movement Impact Project since at least 2023, the same coordination network where ex-USAID employees discussed applying foreign democracy tools to the United States.

STEP 5: Follow the money.

MWEG says they're grassroots Mormon moms. Their funding says otherwise, as I documented in this thread.
The coordination layer funds its own nodes. Mediators Foundation paid MWEG ($25K) AND Braver Angels ($25K). Braver Angels got its grant to disperse their debate toolkit among college students; MWEG got theirs to disperse among women.

This is a directed network with a budget. Image
Image
MWEG's 2025 conference featured Tami Pyfer, co-creator of the Dignity Index. AND Rachel Kleinfeld from Carnegie Endowment, who wrote the strategic framework the entire network operates on. Image
Image
STEP 6: Deploy the weapon.

October 20, 40 days after Kirk was killed: Braver Angels formally partnered with the Dignity Index at a leadership summit in Salt Lake City. 124 Braver Angel alliances across America now get Dignity Index training.

Kirk's assassination was one of the justifications.Image
Image
Image
The Dignity Index scores speech on a 1-8 scale. Kirk's style, passionate, unapologetic populism, would score a 2-3: "contempt."

The tool was designed to make the way conservatives communicate look pathological. It doesn't ban your speech. It SCORES it... CCP-style social credit. Image
Want proof that they don't intend to use the Dignity Index against leftists?

Look no further than Ermiya Fanaeian, trantifa revolutionary. She is reported to have helped build the Dignity Index.
Fanaeian is a longtime Marxist activist who trained in Cuba and came under scrutiny for possible foreknowledge of Kirk's assassination.

If that's who they vetted and hired to help build the Dignity Index, what does it say about the Dignity Index's neutrality?
Let's recap the "4-day miracle":

10,000-org activation list, built 11 months prior โœ…
Crisis template tested on Trump shooting, July 2024 โœ…
Pre-built toolkit sitting on a shelf โœ…
Domain registered by MWEG in 24 hours โœ…
Op-ed and website copy are similar โœ…
Faculty embedded at the campus โœ…
MWEG operative already on UVU calendar โœ…
Funded by the coordination layer itself โœ…
Branding named after TPUSA โœ…
Speech-scoring tool deployed to 124 alliances โœ…

How is this organic?
MWEG is not a grassroots group of concerned Mormon women. It is a node in a pre-wired infrastructure, backed by billionaire foundations, staffed by State Department-adjacent professionals, embedded at the campus where Kirk was killed, and running a playbook that was ready before the tragedy.

Again, I challenge @mormonweg to tell me how any of the above receipts is "absolutely false."

Thread end.
And to make things clear:

NO. MWEG did NOT plan or know of Kirk's assassination.

Tyler Robinson killed Kirk. The wider trantifa network he was embedded in may or may not have known.

This was a rapid response playbook that requires enormous resources and coordination.

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.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿงต BREAKING: Former DHS Chief Miles Taylor's prank site collected death threats against the President and 4,000+ people's personal data. Then exposed them through all an open API. ๐Ÿšจ

Two days ago, I showed you how Miles Taylor's GTFO ICE site exposed 17,000+ people's data on an open API. That site halted sign-ups and is still "under construction."

But Taylor's organization DEFIANCE[.]org didn't just build one leaky site. They built two. On the same server.

UndoTrump[.]org โ€” launched April 1, 2026 as an "April Fools' joke" โ€” collects names, emails, and political messages from people signing up for fictional "Removal Parties" at government buildings. The White House Ballroom. The Kennedy Center. The DOJ. Battleships.

4,000+ signup records. 3,300+ unique people. Same vulnerability. Same API. Same zero authentication.

And this one has death threats against a sitting President in the database.

The man who was deputy chief of staff for the department that houses the Secret Service couldn't secure a sign-up form. Again.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Image
Here's a video of Miles himself soliciting PII in sign-ups. He implies he's not saving the user data... but he did.
Same server. Same IP address. 34.111.179.208. Google Cloud Platform. Same React 19 frontend. Same Express.js backend. Same registrar. Domains registered 13 days apart.

This wasn't two mistakes. This was one codebase deployed twice. Name.comImage

๐Ÿงต๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API. ๐Ÿšจ

17,662 people have signed up.

The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps.

The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy...

...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."

And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. ๐Ÿ‘‡Image
Image
Taylor's security clearance was suspended by presidential memorandum in April 2025. Trump called his conduct "treasonous." Five months later, Taylor launched DEFIANCE dot org. Five months after that... GTFO ICE. Image
Image
Image
Image
GTFO ICE is a coalition of three orgs:

1. DEFIANCE dot org : Miles Taylor + Xander Schultz
2. Save America Movement : Steve Schmidt (yes, of the Lincoln Project)
3. Project Salt Box Image

๐Ÿงต THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? ๐Ÿค”

When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders.

They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance. These values aren't proposals to be voted on. They're treated as moral prerequisites that must be true *before* your vote counts.

Despite what they say, they aren't for checks and balances. Checks and balances limit what government can do to you. This limits what you can do to *them*. The brakes are on accountability, not power. The institutions that set the boundaries of acceptable policy have put themselves beyond the reach of the electorate, and they call that arrangement "democracy."

Trump has been an existential threat to this system since the moment he said "drain the swamp" ... because the swamp IS the system. When he threatened those institutions, he didn't threaten the republic. He threatened their immunity from it.

And they said so. On camera. At their own events. In their own words.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.๐Ÿ‘‡
Robert Kagan:
"I would say there is an argument for saying give me some smoke filled rooms... they weeded out the Donald Trumps of this world."

Backroom deals instead of primaries. Because primaries are how you got Trump... and the old gatekeepers would have stopped him.
Think Kagan's an outlier? Here's Brookings senior fellow William Galston at the National Endowment for Democracy's (NED) most prestigious annual lecture.

He explains that "liberal democracy" requires "some abridgement of majoritarianism."

Translation: democracy means limiting what the majority can do.

๐Ÿงต๐Ÿšจ THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem ๐Ÿšจ

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

โ€ข The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
โ€ข That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
โ€ข There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
โ€ข His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
โ€ข The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
โ€ข Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
โ€ข 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. ๐Ÿ‘‡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:

โ€ข Member of the online leadership chat that planned Unite the Right
โ€ข Attended Charlottesville (at SPLC's direction)
โ€ข Made racist postings (under SPLC's supervision)
โ€ข 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.

๐Ÿงต 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. ๐Ÿ‘‡
@PeteHegseth @Liz_Wheeler This is not my theory. This is theirs.

Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan โ€” the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field โ€” 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."
