Sponsors
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Adessium Foundation | A secretive Dutch foundation that donates to projects backed by Western governments. |
| Luminate | Pierre Omidyar's foundation for financing global media and civil society groups. It is unknown how close it coordinates with certain deep state US government agencies. |
| Matrix Chambers | |
| National Endowment for Democracy | The "traditional intermediary of the CIA", promoting the US "national interest" by "soft power". |
| 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. |
| UNESCO | |
| US/Department/State | Set up in 1789, the US State Department is the United States federal executive department responsible for international relations of the United States, equivalent to the foreign ministry of other countries. |
