THREAD - US Global Leadership Corporation, representing 400 NGOs
Nicolas Turza, the person who got exposed by @JamesOKeefeIII and OMG, was featured in the following YouTube video by an interesting super-NGO - the US Global Leadership Corporation.
In the video, he argues for the involvement of USAID and Department of State in military operations.
US Global Leadership Corporation on its Youtube Channel describes itself as representing 400 NGOs and businesses. Its mission - "support the smart power approach of elevating diplomacy and development alongside defense in order to build a better, safer world."
If you've been with me long enough, you know that is code word for increasing NGO influence in military affairs.
The US Global Leadership Corporation is broken into two nonprofits:
Center For Us Global Leadership, a 501(c)(3) with EIN 743093659, with a budget of 10MM. That is the so-called "education arm."
Us Global Leadership Campaign, a 501(c)(4) with EIN 522024493, with a budget of 2MM - their "advocacy arm."
Neither report taking in any government grants, but they've got plenty of political influence.
The roster of the advisory board is like an Uniparty Who's Who, including Hillary Clinton.

In addition, Madeleine Bright was a founding member and Colin Powell served as honorary chairman of the Advisory Council.
There is plenty of private sector interest. For example, Karan Bhatia, who serves an active position on US Global Leadership Campaign, currently is serving as head of government affairs and public policy at Google.
The co-chair is none other than Sean Callahan, who is the CEO of Catholic Relief Services, an organization which receives substantial taxpayer support in facilitating refugees.
Of more local interest, @BasedMikeLee might want to know that Utah's junior senator is already getting involved in this super-NGO.
The biggest backers of @USGLC - Bill Gates Foundation and George Soros Open Society Foundation.
The importance of this cannot be understated. This is the first solid confirmation I've seen that George Soros and Bill Gates are backers of the so-called "Uniparty" network.
Liz Schrayer, the President and CEO of USGLC, also claims to serve on USAID’s Advisory Committee. In the past, she also served as political director of AIPAC. I found a 2024 article where she took credit for circumventing USAID and getting her own 95 billion dollar bill passed.
USGLC is a Who's Who of the Uniparty - and also of the private sector (compiling the list right now), and it is so powerful that it takes credit for a 95 billion spending bill in a Congress that otherwise ignored Helene victims.
And its backers are George Soros and Bill Gates.
I am reeling.
Here's a listing of Open Society Foundation (George Soros) grants:
But the Bill Gates Foundation provided the vast majority of funding - 71 million over the years, if my math is right:
The private sector involvement is rampant - including Johnson & Johnson, Walt Disney Company, Sesame Workshop, Walmart, Google, Chemonics, P&G, Coca-Cola, Pfizer, and more.

To be honest, I wrote this thread while I was collating the findings. I'm just shocked. This is quite possibly the missing link we've all been looking for.
Separately, I was looking at CHIPS Act, an odd bipartisan bill which provided a windfall for colleges and universities. And, presto, USGLC was involved in its lobbying.

Santorum? Really? So he was just another Mike Pence under deep cover.
I knew we had NGO meddlers (particularly the scum ushering illegal aliens into our country), but I had no idea about the size and pervasiveness of this plague until Elon's DOGE crew started rooting them out.
The nation is fallen into a "elite" management consortium -- administrative state, deep state, the Uniparty, call it what one will -- ruling by generally hidden mechanisms. It will react with great anger at be contested with and against.
Holy crap. I am fairly tuned in, and have never heard of this group.
Thanks for posting this.

Whoa. That’s a who’s-who of deep state cronies. Tom Daschle? What the...
Added to my List; many thanks.
NGOs are a complete scam that are funded by government to do things it is illegal for government to do. NGOs should not exist.
I think I went to one of their events once, when I was a city councilman. I wondered who was paying the freight, they were obviously very well funded. It was a very nice luncheon in a large meeting space at an uptown hotel.
I didn’t follow up, didn’t see how they would make me a better councilman, it all seemed superfluous.
Come to today, the answer to who was paying the freight was probably *US*, via USAID and NGO cutouts.
The sooner the better.
At all.
Make NGOs non-governmental again.
That’s a lode all righty. Good job!
