What happens when subversion masquerades as philanthropy? Written by Ryan DeLarme and edited by V for Veritas, BROKEN FOUNDATIONS unravels a forgotten chapter in American history when billionaires leveraged charitable organizations as a means to shape politics and culture, and how this practice continues to thrive today.

TRANSCRIPT & SOURCES

The international cabal constructing the proverbial New World Order is not a single cohesive entity, but a massive network with many moving parts and competing interests, some of them operating in full view of the public while others move below the surface, undetected. It is not wholly American, though it has made this once great nation its primary host. Like the cordyceps fungi, the transnational, criminal ruling class has infected the very mind of man, training people to adopt destructive ideologies and behaviors at every level of human organization.

Former New York mayor John F. Hylan accurately described what he called an “invisible government” back in 1922, when he claimed:

“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which, like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states, and nation…At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller—Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers [who] virtually run the U.S. government for their own selfish purposes.”[#]

Hylan’s depiction of the invisible government as an octopus is still relevant today, more than a century later, though the players and institutions have changed with the times. In Hylan’s era, Standard Oil played a significant role, and the influence of the Rockefellers and their Foundation is still evident today. However, in contemporary times, leading globalist think tanks, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and the World Economic Forum, amongst others, have replaced Standard Oil and accelerated the implementation of the totalitarian agenda.

The tentacles of the octopus facilitate the will of the head, and in the case of the Deep State, those tentacles represent a tightly woven network of tax-exempt foundations, charities and nonprofits. The role of foundations and nonprofit organizations in the U.S. economy is substantial. The IRS estimates that nearly 2 million nonprofits were active in the United States in 2022, of which 1.5 million were tax-exempt organizations. 

Typically, the terms “charity” and “nonprofit” conjure up thoughts of altruism, generosity, and selflessness.  Many of these organizations outwardly appear to have noble goals and are cloaked in all the verbiage of self-proclaimed philanthropic benevolence, but a significant number of these entities exist for the sole purpose of facilitating the dictates and agendas of the “invisible government.” Perhaps this was always the hidden intention behind the creation of the Tax-Exempt status.

The first foundation in America was created in 1865 by the legendary financier George Peabody. Peabody is something of a legend among the financial elite; he was an associate of Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild, a business partner to Junius Spencer Morgan, and is widely recognized as the father of modern philanthropy. (#,#)

It was George Peabody who first established the structure later emulated by men like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Johns Hopkins. Peabody set up the first large-scale American foundation, the Peabody Educational Fund, endowing it with $1 million in government bonds. In four years, the fund would more than triple the investment. (#)

As with the foundations of today, the Fund purported to have noble intentions, namely the education of recently freed black slaves, but this was only a pretext to gain an economic and political foothold in the southern states. It became what most major foundations become: an incredibly powerful financial tool with considerable international connections. Some of the most powerful men in America, including future U.S. Presidents Gen. Ulysses Grant, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt, would compose its board of directors. [#]

This model was so wildly successful that other powerful and ambitious men would expand upon it in the early 1900s. The two most notable early foundations were the Carnegie Endowment and the Rockefeller Foundation, both of which became tax-exempt bastions for operatives of the invisible government and still exert considerable influence in the world to this day.

These foundations were utilized to create and implement government policy through their staff members who would often occupy key positions in the executive, legislative and judiciary departments. For example, the Carnegie Endowment today boasts a network of more than 150 “experts” who have “served in nearly every administration since the endowment’s founding.” (#)

The template created by these early tycoons has been utilized by powerful men ever since, from Henry Ford to Bill Gates. The importance of the nonprofit in the Deep State’s machinations cannot be overstated. The sinister and monolithic Council on Foreign Relations is at the heart of a pervasive web of former and current nonprofits connecting its members and initiatives to all corners of modern society. 

Some of these organizations include The United States Agency of International Development  – who aid Monsanto in spreading the use of GMO crops and Glyphosate pesticides, The American Civil Liberties Union – who are currently assisting the modern censorship machine, Race Forward – an organization promoting identity politics throughout government and academia, as well as the American Press Institute, The Anti-Defamation League, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the storied and nefarious Fabian Society.

Other notable CFR-connected foundations include the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the New World Foundation, the RAND Corporation, the Tavistock Institute, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and the YMCA. (#) (#)

These are just a small sample of the myriad “charitable” organizations which, when working towards the same ends, exercise more control over our society than even the federal government itself. Understanding the think tank / foundation relationship in the context of this monolithic, international network is essential.

Working in tandem with the CFR is a more public-facing milieu of the ruling class in modern times: the World Economic Forum, which itself was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1971 by Klaus Schwab while under the tutelage of the notorious globalist and neocon Henry Kissinger. (#) 

The Forum is a symposium that attracts individuals from all sectors of society. It’s where the heads of banking, tech, health, energy, communications, and advertising all convene each year to mutually strategize. Their aim? To roll out a more “sophisticated” technologically advanced model of society, what founder Klaus Schwab has called the “fourth industrial revolution.” [clips: #, # 1:12-1:36]

But the Forum cannot affect these changes itself, it is only a venue for discussion and planning. To prepare society for these changes and to shield their narratives, both the Council and the Forum enlist the aid of their sprawling web of tax-exempt foundations and NGOs, all with different areas of focus.

One of the most crucial of these areas is a burgeoning industry that’s been dubbed the Censorship Industrial Complex.

This “industry” could be seen as the narrative control arm of the network, deploying and shielding the messaging associated with their various narratives by smearing those who dissent publicly and by policing journalism. 

Among the countless organizations dedicated to this function are The Pulitzer Center, The National Press Foundation, The International Center for Journalists, The Solutions Journalism Network, The Poynter Institute, and Media Matters for America.

These organizations might seem to be operating separately, but they all serve as watchdogs ready to pounce on any journalist or outlet who dissents from the orthodoxy of the deep political establishment. In fact, they are all funded by the same corporations and foundations: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, the National Endowment for Democracy, the World Bank, and the Open Society Foundation.

Among the premier globalist foundations of the 20th century was one of the most prominent and well-funded think tanks in the world, the Brookings Institute. Brookings grew out of the Institution for Government Research, “the first private organization devoted to analyzing public policy issues at the national level.” [#] The institute has had its fingers in every major endeavor pursued by the Western political establishment; everything from warfare to geoengineering (CLIP) to the coordinated take down of US President Donald Trump (CLIP).

Brookings’ board of trustees has included a who’s who of CFR members and corporate leaders (#) and has been one of many powerful think tanks assisting the spread of Western hegemony alongside the intelligence community and the Military Industrial Complex. In 2009, they published what was essentially a blueprint for overthrowing Iran called “Which Path to Persia.”

Another institution devoted to Western military conquest is the Hudson Institute. The Institute was founded by Herman Kahn and his cohorts at the notorious RAND Corporation, a pillar of the Military Industrial Complex that was created from a merging of corporate and state sectors during WWII. Khan was a friend of Henry Kissinger, a mentor of Klaus Schwab and the progenitor of the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction. Hudson’s funders today include Monsanto, Pfizer, General Atomics, and the Lilly Endowment. (#)

In the mid-1900s, the growing power and influence of this network of foundations was unknown to the average citizen, but there were those in government, namely B. Carroll Reece and Norman Dodd, who recognized the potential danger of this burgeoning system. This concern led to the creation of the Reece Committee.

The Committee was an investigative group in the United States House of Representatives created to probe the activities of tax-exempt organizations for potential subversion. The U.S. House voted in late July 1953 to approve the creation of the special committee. Among those who opposed its creation was CFR member and future president Gerald Ford. (#) The primary concern was that the banker-run network of Tax-Exempt foundations and nonprofits did not exist for charitable purposes, but to subversively steer and manipulate the population along with the levers of power in Western society.

As far back as 100 years ago, these organizations were involved in paving the way for the debasement of culture we see today which has coincided with the rise of a liberal world order.

Among the many findings and areas of interest turned up by the investigation was the funding by the Rockefeller Foundation of Nazi collaborator and father of the sexual revolution Alfred Kinsey, who was documented to have paid pedophiles to rape children. [#,#,#]

During the investigations, Norman Dodd was called to meet Ford Foundation administrator Rowan Gaither, who claimed:

“[…] all of us that have a hand in the making of policies here have experiences either with the OSS during the war or the European Economic Administration after the war… we are here operating in response to similar directives the substance of which, that, we shall use our grant-making power, so to alter life in the United States, that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.”

The Reece Committee was butting up against some of the most powerful forces in the American political establishment, and naturally it would face both opposition and obstruction. Establishment Republicans smeared the investigations as “anti-Semetic.” Jacob K. Javits, a liberal Republican who voted against the resolution that established the Reece Committee, went so far as to introduce his own resolution that would establish a separate committee to investigate the Reece Committee.

There was also trouble from within. Committeeman Wayne Hayes, an establishment Democrat from the state of Ohio, was installed by House Minority Leader Sam Rayburn—who also voted against the Committee—to sabotage the hearings by creating a contentious scene and even exploiting the fact that Reece, the committee’s namesake, was arrested for homosexual acts in a public bathroom in the 1920s, the matter being a secret long kept confined to Capitol Hill. (#,#) A fear of public exposure of the arrest made it impossible to reign in Hays and eventually caused Reece to halt the hearings altogether.

The committee’s report was released in December of 1954. It was agreed to on a party-line vote, with Hays refusing to sign. (#)

The committee concluded that the major American foundations:

“…have actively supported attacks upon our social and government system and financed the promotion of socialism and collectivist ideas.” (#,#)

The committee discovered that the Carnegie Foundation had attempted to use war as a tool for efficient population control in the United States. (#) It also found that the Carnegie Foundation sought to infiltrate the US State Department to subvert American society towards globalist ideologies.

The Reece Committee and the Dodd Report, despite their explosive  findings, were overshadowed by the media spectacle regarding the censure of Joseph McCarthy. Though he never dared mention the Council on Foreign Relations by name, McCarthy had denounced many of its members. It is believed that the unrelenting attacks on McCarthy at this time were provoked by a fear that he might publicly connect the dots from the findings of the Reece Committee and Dodd Report to the CFR. 

The thorough demonization and character assassination of McCarthy resulted in its intended effect; no further congressional efforts or investigations into the funding of subversive organizations has taken place in three quarters of a century since.

The number of foundations and the magnitude of their subversive grant-making have increased significantly since that time. In recent memory we’ve seen the corruption happening behind the scenes with Black Lives Matter, including foreign funding and the misappropriation of funds by its self proclaimed Marxist leaders. We’ve also seen politicized organizations like Vote Blue, PropORNot, Media Matters, and many others being utilized to sway public opinion in a way that directly benefits the international corporatocracy and the financial elite.

One of the most prominent modern illustrations of this subversive process in action is billionaire magnate George Soros and his Open Society Foundations network. Any sincere effort to expose him or his fellow billionaire subversives must be prepared for the ruthless assault that has befallen all those who have attempted this in the past. [clip]

Soros’ Open Society Foundation has funded protests and activist organizations around the globe. Most recently he has been funding the pro-Palestine and pro-Hamas demonstrations on campuses around the U.S, funneling money into surrogate institutions such as the Tides Foundation and then seeding cash into even smaller groups like IfNotNow and  Jewish Voices for Peace, which is also funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. (#) 

The subversion of this nation is near complete, but it is far from inevitable. With the right leadership in Washington and a combination of audits and inquiries, this scourge could be easily dealt with.

If we review the tax-exemption status of these organizations and cut off the endless spigot of funding, these organizations will become effectively neutered. However, the tendrils of this monstrous system are deeply embedded in all branches of the federal government, with many individuals working in government today having risen to their positions with the help of a grant or fellowship from one or many of the organizations mentioned. (#, #)

Until such time as our government is willing to finish where the Reece Committee left off, the network of Tax-Exempt foundations will continue to facilitate the will of the globalist think tanks, and America will continue to be usurped.
