Sponsors
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Mercator Foundation | German foundation financing projects of deep state interest and buying control over the narrative, especially on "climate change" and pro-migration. Frequently connected to censorship initiatives. |
| Open Society Foundations | A NGO operating in more countries than McDonald's. It has the tendency to support politicians (at times through astroturfing) and activists that get branded as "extreme left" as its founder is billionaire and bane of the pound George Soros. This polarizing perspective causes the abnormal influence of the OSF to go somewhat unanswered. |
| Rockefeller Brothers Fund | Rockefeller family "philanthropic" fund. One of the CIA's favorite cut-outs during the Cold War. |
