🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Inside The New Pluralists: how billionaires weaponized the Biden Administration, targeted Charlie Kirk, and are quietly financing America’s color revolution 🚨🚨
In 2017, a quiet meeting brought representatives of Soros, Koch, Rockefeller, and Ford foundations together for one purpose: to rethink how philanthropy influences politics.
Out of that meeting came the “New Pluralists,” a coalition that would go on to shape the Biden White House’s United We Stand summit, fund censorship-adjacent projects, and eventually intersect with investigations into Turning Point USA ... and the color revolution that’s brewing in the United States now.

Our story starts in mid-2017, Mark Gerzon, president and founder of the Mediators Foundation, began organizing a private meeting of major political funders. Scheduled for November on the East Coast, the gathering was to include representatives of both the Soros and Koch families, along with about twenty other donors from across the political spectrum. Gerzon described them as people on the left and right who were disillusioned with how their money was influencing politics and wanted to explore new ways to use their wealth more effectively. **
If you’re unfamiliar with Mark Gerzon, he has an extensive background in international diplomacy. He has served as a consultant for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), worked with the Carnegie Council, and was a distinguished fellow at the EastWest Institute, where he facilitated dialogues between the Chinese Communist Party and members of both the Republican and Democratic parties.

The meeting did happen - at the Rockefeller Brother Fund’s Pocantico Conference Center. The project was launched by John Steiner (vice-chair of Mediators Foundation) and Stephen Heintz, President of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. A new direction for America was set then. **
I am keeping this thread focused on events around Turning Point – so I will only briefly go over this new direction. Stephen Heintz would sit on an American Academy council to come up with a plan to transform America from a Constitutional Republic to an actual democracy.
**
The billionaire philanthropists who attended the mysterious summit organized by Mark Gerzon formed a group called “New Pluralists.” Charles Koch Institute, Anti-Defamation League, Ford Foundation, and Soros Fund all were represented.
**
The first project was Communities Overcoming Extremism: the After Charlottesville Project, led by former Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer. Signer says on his (now-deleted) website that he created the coalition which included the ADL, the Ford Foundation, the Charles Koch Institute, the Fetzer Institute, and New America... but elsewhere he says the ADL reached out to him first. **
This initial project would would set the vocabulary for their long term direction – “bridging divides” through censoring populists and installing a new democracy. I write a whole chapter on this in my book. **
Now, fast forward to September 15, 2022, two weeks after the infamous “Soul of the Nation” speech wherein Biden declared “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” **
