Gavin Newsom’s Germany jaunt funded by little-known nonprofit run by aides
NY Post ^ | February 13, 2026 | Annie Gaus & Josh Koehn

Gavin Newsom’s whirlwind weekend in Germany will cost a pretty penny, paid for by a secretive nonprofit that’s run by his longtime aides and receives money from special interests, The California Post has learned.

The invite-only Munich Security Conference is being held across two luxury hotels in Old Town Munich — the Hotel Bayerischer Hof and Rosewood — and Newsom’s itinerary includes two sessions on climate change and transatlantic relations.

The likely 2028 presidential candidate also plans to ink a partnership with Ukraine and have a powwow with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz while rubbing elbows with foreign leaders and business elites.

The governor’s weekend jaunt to Germany — likely costing six-figures for flights and lodgings, as well as security — is being funded by the California State Protocol Foundation, which receives donations from a coterie of deep-pocketed donors, some of which have business before the state.

The Protocol Foundation was originally established in 2002 as the Golden State Host Committee, and it is now run by top Newsom advisors Steve Kawa, Jim DeBoo and Jason Elliot, along with Sacramento Kings exec Matina Kolokotronis.

In other words, the US taxpayers were forced to unwittingly pay for his campaign efforts. Money-laundering is a beautiful thing.

I still can’t figure out why dumbass, Party of Death, DemonRATS were allowed into Germany. Don’t the Germans know that those maggots are murderers? Especially their trannies and fascist Aunt Teefa bass turds. The maggots who think that the south pole is north of the equator.

Newsom, Hillary, and AOC went to Germany to conspire undetected, and gin up a plan to destroy America.

Rubbing elbows with European progressives - just like he is.

I’m sure he blamed Trump for “climate change” - as he always does.

God Forbid he should ever become POTUS.

Newsom and AOC must both be trying to pick up the same evil spirit attachments that empowered that demonic Obama creature to victory in 2008.

Recall when Obama gave his pre-nomination speech in Berlin to thronging crowds at the Victory Column in Tiergarten park.

I wonder how far this actually is from the ‘Altar of Zeus at Pergamon’ that was centuries later moved to Berlin and placed in a museum, otherwise known from Revelation Chapter 2 and called the Seat of Satan by none other than Jesus.

Obama and the DNC appeared to model this same throne (seat) alter at the 2008 Denver Convention only a few weeks later.

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.” - Revelation 2:12-13
