["Against advice" as per the "Oracle," I have continued jumping into the bunny hole of the D5 Coalition/Foundation scene. I hope this info ultimately ends up being useful in some way. There actually does seem to be a narrative here. My comments are contained in the brackets we have come to associate with Q's "kill boxes." I found an article which makes the case the 501 C-3s are funding terrorists foreign and domestic: http://hardnoxandfriends.com/2017/11/12/foundations-giving-millions-to-groups-with-ties-to-radical-terrorists-foreign-and-domestic/ That article is titled:] Foundations Giving Millions to Groups with Ties to Radical Terrorists - Foreign and Domestic By Uriel Nov 12, 2017 ANOTHER NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR REASONS TO GET RID OF THE TAX GROUP – 501(c)3 Investigation: Foundations Gave Millions To Groups Accused Of Terror Ties The Daily Caller Peter Hasson Associate Editor “Major American foundations have given millions of dollars in funding to Islamic organizations accused of having ties to radical Islamist movements or designated terrorist organizations and a group of activists are trying to convince them to stop. Groups like Islamic Relief Worldwide, which some countries have banned for allegedly funding Hamas and other terrorist organizations, have received millions of dollars from corporate charities like the GE Foundation, community foundations like the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, and independent foundations like George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. Researchers with the Middle East Forum, an activist group devoted to promoting American interests abroad, identified the financial stream from American foundations to seven Islamic groups with radical ties: Islamic Relief Worldwide and its sister organization in the United States — Islamic Relief USA, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and, despite rebounding from highly damaging terrorist allegations in 2008, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The various foundations have given $5.8 million to these seven groups since 2000, IRS filings show, with $5.6 million of that taking place since 2008. In total, 46 corporate foundations, eight community foundations, nine private foundations and one donor-advised fund have given money to these seven groups.” SNIP …”(What the investigators learned when they went to foundations:) “Almost all of the foundations we asked to stop funding Islamist groups told us the same thing: all they looked for was an active 501(c)3 status. The side effect of this is that foundations end up funding all sorts of racist and anti-Semitic hate groups. Under these foundations’ standards, for example, an eligible 501(c)3 would be the New Century Foundation, a notorious white supremacist group,” said David Swindle, a coordinator for Islamist Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum….” SNIP [A listing and discussion of various major corporate Foundations follows in the article, among them George Soro’s Open Society, Gates, Ploughshares, GE (general electric - not greeneyes!), Verizon. (Verizon just bought Yahoo and has foisted a very unsavory privacy agreement on former yahoo email customers.) There is a discussion of the largest community foundation, The Silicon Valley Community Foundation. They have given over $330,000 to Cair and Islamic Relief. Now taking up the article again, we learn about the list the author has learned about which needs further investigation: Donor-Advised Fund, Schwab Charitable Fund is discussed. They gave a boatload of cash to several Islamic organizations between 2007 and 2015.] “The list below on ANTIFA is compiled at the SisypheanNews.com site and by its creator, Preston Dominic. Its purpose is to expose ANTIFA. The list also included six possible donor UK sites. ANTIFA: Soros organizations universally considered their main supporter AJ Muste Memorial Social Justice Fund (socialist group) ARCUS Foundation – leaders in the LGBT movement ABFE – Black Leadership foundation group Common Counsil [sic] Foundation – advises personal trusts and foundations on “social equitable groups and environmental organizations needing funding” Charles Mott Foundation – promotes equitable and sustainable society Counsil on Foundations – DC public policy and advocacy advisor group. Their Philanthropy Exchange is a private social network that allows Council members to connect with peers. Bolder Giving – a group that provides inspiring stories of individuals giving lots of money to help make the world better. They help research them apparently as there is a directory. [$$$$$] D5 Coalition [$$$$$] – Wrote its purpose was to “increase philanthropy’s diversity, equity and inclusiveness.” Its funders included Kellogg, Rockefeller, Packard and others….” SNIP [From the above we learn that yes, indeed the Foundations are funding various Islamic (read: “terrorist”) organizations. They have been asked to stop - or at least ask questions about how they donate to. They won’t. We see mention of D5 Coalition listed among possible culprits thought to be funding ANTIFA organizations. ] ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [I found this link: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/11/prweb10135054.htm which has this title:] Sunday, May 13, 2018 RSS Email Newsletters Put PRWeb on your site Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and D5 Coalition to Host “We Are Philanthropy” Event Celebrating Diversity in Giving [Inset just under this title is the following article:] CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 15, 2012 [It is not clear to me why the web page has today’s date, yet the article is 2012.

Founded by UPS founder Jim Casey. Marguerite is/was his sister. ] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marguerite_Casey_Foundation "Jim Casey, the founder of United Parcel Service, established Casey Family Programs in 1966.[3] When UPS went public in 1997, the Casey Programs’ endowment rose from $700 million to over $2 billion.[4] Casey Family Programs decided to use the new resources to create a new foundation focused on grantmaking. The foundation is named for Jim Casey’s sister, Marguerite.[5] The foundation is led by Luz Vega-Marquis, who was named president in 2001" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [Then I discovered this, which is a list of the M Casey Foundation’s Board of Directors. Holy prayer rugs! Lookie there! I see at least 3 moooslims and their organizations belonging to it - along with democrat/ illegal immigration types. You think they don’t fund Islamic activities????] https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=9302379 Marguerite Casey Foundation Key Developments Marguerite Casey Foundation appoints Rami Nashashibi, Carmen Rojas and Jack Thomas to Board of Directors Jan 17 18 Marguerite Casey Foundation announced the appointment of board of directors.

Under his leadership, Western Illinois University has received honors as the ‘Best Midwestern College’. ~ ~ ~ SUMMARY [So while the connections to the truly bad stuff is still fairly tentative, I believe we are making progress in this bunny hole. What we have so far: A case is made at hardnoxandfriends in an article examining how the 501c-3 is being (mis) used by Foundations and other charitable organizations. Some of the more blatant misdeeds are that the foundations/charities are funding foreign and domestic bad actors. Among those SUSPECTED as being possible funders of terrorists include the Rockefeller D5 Coalition. Rockefeller D5 Coalition - I found an article describing a 2012 speech by Luz Vega-Marquis, President and CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation (a funder of the D5 Coalition) in Chicago. At the end of this article is a blurb outlining who/what the D5 Coalition is. I wanted to know more about this Funder/Advisor organization. Marguerite Casey Foundation - was created by Jim Casey, the UPS founder. Marguerite is/was his sister. Next was a the discovery of an article from Bloomberg last January naming the members of the board of Directors of the Marguerite Casey Foundation. I was able to count 3 Islamic members The rest seemed to be academics and other assorted democrat/illegal immigration activists.] I want to thank TXnMA for the info about the " pre pre " formatting tool. It looks strange on the preview (very wide need-to-scroll left to right) but much better than if I had simply posted it!
Hmmmm ok - it appears I have a formatting problem despite my earnest attempts.
Yes, I think there have been hundreds of NProfits being used to destroy USA. Read a presentation of about 50 pages on it several years ago.
I was skeptical at the time - not doubting it now. Now the thing to remember is that they can make profits and many do. They just don’t have to pay taxes on it. Also, here they get a break on property taxes too.
Now if we could tax them at the corporate tax rate, I wonder how much money that would be?
Stupid, libtard-style logic!
