This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit bownereport.substack.comRich foundations and 501(c)(3) nonprofits have been pulling strings on American culture for over a hundred years. All in the name of charity. In the name of Civil Rights. In the name of progressivism. They make anyone who dare question their questionable motives in the names of these hallowed core principals as a racist, homophobe, misogynistic, etc., etc., etc. Its the same old childish game of I know you are but what am I? But its no longer Dad pulling the car over to tell everyone to shut up in the backseat, it has now become the lynchpin for a polarizing cultural civil war where free expression is neutralized and the forward momentum of the Pursuit of happiness has been driven into a ditch of pointless monotony.As time goes by and generations filter through all the noise, more and more of us see it as unwelcome control by an untouchable group of people that just become more obvious. A brief history on these “Untouchables” for those of us new to this information.It all started with guys like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford back in the day. They built giant foundations with their billions. Tax breaks made it easy for them to appear that they were throwing in their ante to support Constitutional ideals. These groups didn’t just hand out money for schools and hospitals. They shaped what kids learned, what ideas spread, and what policies got pushed in Washington. By the 1960s and 70s, big liberal foundations like Ford and Rockefeller poured cash into civil rights, environmental stuff, and social change. Nice on paper or so it seemed. But it gradually allowed a handful of relatively faceless wealthy elites steer the country without ever getting elected. Today, these 501(c)(3)s are everywhere. Donations are tax deductible. They claim to further “education” and “charity.” They can’t officially endorse candidates, but they sure can push ideas, fund programs, and build networks that help one side. And as a candidate these are the people you rub elbows with at the Dinner parties. The gift horses. Hundreds of billions in assets. No real voter accountability. And they are only getting larger as their influence spreads.
