🧡🚨 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. πŸ‘‡
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.
Same video. UVU political science professor Jada Sart "did survey research of Utah adults about their civic knowledge and their civic dispositions."

UVU faculty were building the empirical base for the Dignity Index's scoring framework years before Kirk ever set foot on campus.
Now: where does the Dignity Index actually come from?

Dignity Index Co-Creator Tami Pyfer quoting Donna Hicks... a Harvard specialist in INTERNATIONAL conflict resolution. Israeli-Palestinian. Northern Ireland.

The Dignity Index's theoretical framework was developed for mediating FOREIGN WARS. Then it was applied to American political speech by a Clinton national security speechwriter named Tom Rosshirt.
The foreign pipeline doesn't stop at theory. Watch this.

The moderator at the Principles First Summit asks Maria Stephan.... career State Department officer, lifetime CFR member:

"You were opposing authoritarianism in other countries like Venezuela and the Balkans. And then you realized America needed that same kind of techniques. How can they normalize opposing an authoritarian figure like Donald Trump?"
Stephan's answer:

"People have used weapons of will... protest, vigils, marches, strikes, boycotts, walkouts. They have built the alternatives and they have prevailed."

That's Gene Sharp's 198 methods, the manual behind every color revolution the US backed for 30 years.
So what does this have to do with Dignity Index or MWEG? Julia Roig β€” Stephan's co-leader at the Horizons Project β€” on a MWEG video call describes themselves as an "organizing platform" to bring international regime change experience home. Said on MWEG's own channel.
And lest you have any doubts that Horizons Projects is inspired by overseas regime change, here's them affirming their own origins:
Evidence this is from MWEG's own channel. Image
And here's where it comes home to UVU. MWEG member Catherine Eslinger in her in their own conference recap:

"Maria mentioned 198 actions for nonviolent protest... she had real data from Erica Chenoweth... countries focused on nonviolent resistance led to healthy democracies."

Gene Sharp's 198 actions... the operational manual for regime change taught at a MWEG conference. At UVU. The campus where Kirk would be assassinated months later.
Tim Shriver β€” Kennedy family, Dignity Index co-creator β€” at the University of Utah in 2023:

"Rebels, outliers, political outlaws willing to declare their independence and overthrow the culture of contempt."

"Overthrow." His word.
When they say "Dignity" they don't mean getting along.

They mean "dignity" in the "willing to invoke a color revolution" sense.
This should reframe how you think about the "Dignity Index."

And why they hired a literal Cuban-trained Communist revolutionary to develop the Dignity Index.

It's increasingly looking less like a mistake and more like a feature.
So let me lay this out.

UVU was the institutional home of this network. MWEG held conferences there for 3+ years.... sponsored by the university. Braver Angels personnel were embedded in faculty. UVU professors were building the Dignity Index's empirical base. Color revolution methodology was being taught on campus.

And then Charlie Kirk, the man whose speech the Dignity Index would score as maximum contempt, was shot dead. At UVU. On their campus.

The worst "bridge-building" failure in modern American history happened at ground zero for replicating color revolution methodology in the United States.
That's why they assembled in two hours. They had no choice.

Domain registered in 24 hours. Op-ed in the Deseret News. Toolkit printed. State Capitol press conference. 1,400-person Zoom by Sunday.

This was damage control.
I covered the timeline in a prior thread:
Manu Meel, CEO of BridgeUSA:

"After the tragic Charlie Kirk assassination β€” someone that I knew through our work β€” Bridge USA grew at a hundred followers an hour for 32 straight days."

100 followers an hour. 32 days. They tracked Kirk's death by the hour and used it as a growth metric. On camera.
"We are partnering with Braver Angels... adding our dignity index to the work they're already doing."

Barely a month after Kirk was killed at UVU, the Dignity Index held a 300-person Leadership Summit in Salt Lake City. Braver Angels formally partnered to distribute the Dignity Index nationwide.

Kirk's death wasn't a setback. It was the accelerant.
And it's STILL happening. MWEG GROW call, April 2026:

"I was so excited to see Sharon McMahon's latest article."

Sharon McMahon, who lauded Kirk's death after his assassination, was just chosen as UVU's 2026 commencement speaker.

They didn't just exploit Kirk's death. They're celebrating it. He accelerated their plans.
CONCLUSION:
UVU is the campus. MWEG is the conference host. Braver Angels was embedded there. The Dignity Index is built on research conducted there. Gene Sharp's regime change methods are promoted in that network.

Charlie Kirk was killed there.

Did they kill Charlie Kirk? No.

Did their color revolution teachings promote a culture where it was easier to kill Charlie Kirk?
You tell me.

THREAD END.
Please support me by pre-ordering the book which details how NGOs came to take over America. It's a long way off, but we intentionally went with a small publisher to avoid institutional censorship. Every pre-order we make counts towards releasing this in the big chains on launch day and spreading this to the public.

Book preorder links:

And @mormonweg - you lauding Gene Sharp isn't even the most shocking receipts I have on you. The worst is yet to come.

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.

🧡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. πŸ‘‡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

🧡 THREAD: How mass immigration came to Japan's shores

𝕏 saw a lovely cultural exchange between Americans and Japanese this past week, which got me wondering how and why Muslims came to Japan... so I spent the weekend looking into it.

Japan went from officially having "no immigration policy" to a formal system with a cap of 820,000 foreign workers. Japan's Muslim population has gone from ~110,000 (2010) to ~420,000 (end of 2024). There are now 149 mosques.

The bill that created this was passed at 4:00 AM in December 2018. The opposition called it a "carte blanche." Deliberations were compressed. It passed anyway.

What I found:
πŸ”Ή Three consecutive foreign ministers trained at American universities.
πŸ”Ή A foundation run by a Trilateral Commission member and a former US intelligence chief.
πŸ”Ή A $69 million fellowship network seeding 69 universities in 44 countries.
πŸ”Ή A UN framework signed the same month as the 4 AM vote.
πŸ”Ή Sixteen bilateral labor agreements managed through a single coordinating body.
πŸ”Ή A Japan-specific immigration program drafted by a Japanese national while he was interning inside the US Senate.

In July 2025, a party that didn't exist before COVID won 14 seats and finished third in the popular vote. By February 2026, the LDP won its biggest parliamentary majority since 1955, running on tighter immigration.

Unfortunately, Americans and Japanese have more in common beyond love of BBQ. They have the mass migration problem in common. Receipts below. πŸ‘‡

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.Image
Image
Japan's Muslim population:

2010: ~110,000
2024: ~420,000

Nearly 4x in 14 years.

Mosques: 4 in 1980. 149 as of 2024.

This is not organic. Someone built a pipeline. Image
Image
The Specified Skilled Worker program. SSW.

Original cap (2019): 345,000 workers.
New cap (March 2024): 820,000 workers.

The law that created SSW passed at **4:00 AM** on December 8, 2018.

The opposition called it a "carte blanche." Deliberations were rushed. Image

🧡THREAD, NO KINGS IN THE SENATE?: The Helsinki Commission, the almighty foreign democracy operations arm of Congress

The No Kings crowd marched today against the one branch of government where you can actually see who's in charge. They should try the Senate.

At 3 AM on Friday, Thune passed a funding bill by voice vote. Funded everything except immigration enforcement. Just completely gave into the Democratic demands.

Inside that Senate sits a body called the Helsinki Commission. No FOIA. No Inspector General. No records retention policy. It operates in permanent darkness, and what's hiding in there makes the 3 AM vote look transparent.

Look at the two images below.
Left: the booking photo.
Right: the knife Capitol Police seized.

A Helsinki Commission staffer drew this on a Capitol Police officer. March 8, 2019. He was arrested and booked. He was never fired. He was also photographed in Ukrainian military camo at a command post near Bakhmut. Investigators documented $87,400 in cash.

Both parties buried it. The Ryan Routh assassination attempt connection sits in plain sight. The same NGO network running today's color revolution marches connects to the same Helsinki Commission infrastructure.

Receipts below.

As always, patience as I pull together the post. πŸ‘‡Image
Image
This thread draws heavily from @shellenberger 's explosive Substack below: public.news/p/compromised-…
@shellenberger This photo shows Parker at a Ukrainian military command post near Bakhmut, wearing Ukrainian camo, studying operational maps. According to the investigation, he made 7+ trips to the war zone. I could find no evidence these trips were formally authorized by Congress. Image

🧡🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" 🚨🚨

His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis.

The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" β€” a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat".

When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared."

Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" — the Otpor documentary about toppling Miloőević — as "a how-to."

Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration β€” our nuclear weapons program β€” justified because "disclosure would compromise national security."

His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active.

I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. πŸ‘‡
Before proceeding with this thread, please follow @listen_2learn , who tried to expose Cash earlier. Thanks to my new co-visiting fellow with @ItsYourGov , @JeffClarkUS , for help in researching.
@listen_2learn @ItsYourGov @JeffClarkUS Cash in his own words. Listen carefully.

"Pretty much the day after the election of Donald Trump."

"It really wasn't a political thing."

"Joe Biden wins. Existential threat gone." ... "We basically disappeared."

Then he went into Biden's DHS.

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

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. πŸ‘‡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:
