Deep State’s Think Tank Mafia (Thread)
Who funds them?
We’ve discussed NGO Mafia extensively—now it’s time to take a step back and expose Think Tanks Think Tanks craft policies for Deep State, which are then executed by governments and NGOs Let’s take them down!
Some of the top think tanks of USA are
- Brookings Institution
- Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
- Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)
- RAND Corporation
- Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
- Wilson Center
- Atlantic Council
- GMF

Why think tank funding matters Think tanks have played, and continue to play, an important role in the creation of U.S. foreign policy and global policy – Council on Foreign Relations played a crucial role in planning a new international order after World War II.

– Brookings helped design the Marshall Plan (Rehabilitation of Europe after WW2)
– RAND Corporation prepared strategy of the Vietnam War
– Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), American Enterprise Institute (AEI) convinced Bush govt to attack Iraq
Each and everything that is happening today and that will happen tomorrow weather some war, arms supply, global health policy, refugee policy, agriculture policy, climate policy, education policy, everything is decided by these Think Tanks.
So, won’t u wanna know Who funds them?
U.S. government funding of think tanks US govt contributed $1.49 billion to US think tanks from 2019 to 2023. Dept of Defense is far and away the top donor in the Think Tank Majority of these contributions going to the RAND Corporation (more than $1.4 billion).

Another major funding of these tank tanks comes from Pentagon contractor or military industrial complex
US arms manufacturing companies
Biggest donors are Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin

And biggest beneficiary of this military industrial complex funding is Atlantic Council Atlantic Council is an influential militaristic influence network, staffed with military, CIA, and their attendant politicians; and CEOs from strategic industries, like oil and media.

It has strong connections to NATO
Its behind the Russia Ukraine War
It also receives funding from Bertelsmann Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, Open Society, Hewlett Foundation, National Endowment for Democracy, Norway/Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rockefeller Brothers Fund etc.
Global funding to US Think Tanks
Surprisingly UAE is the biggest donor of these Deep State Think Tanks, another ones are UK and Qatar
Here we are taking oil companies owned by Govt also as funding from govt.

Biggest beneficiary of these foreign funding are Atlantic Council, Brooking Institution and German Marshall Fund
Brookings Institution is funded by Qatar Govt, Bill Gates, Open Society, Rockefeller foundation. Hewlett Foundation, ClimateWorks etc.

German Marshall Fund (GMF) is a CIA front group.
Despite the ‘German’ in its name, it is a fully US/CIA-controlled operation, mainly to maintain a network of influential European politicians and journalists
It’s behind the formation of OECD and European Union.
Think Tank Transparency Score
If score is 4/5 – Transparent
If score 2/3 – Not transparent
If score 0/1 – Not at all transparent
You will find most of these Think Tanks are not transparent in their funding, members, meetings, policies.


Big tech companies have also been continuously increasing their funding into these think tanks
Specially Google and Meta

In this thread we just gave initial introduction about these think tanks
Shocking finding is Arms manufacturer are their major donors then why they will not make policies which will give boost to defense budget of countries
Its just beginning
We will expose everything
About these think tanks and we will expose Indian think tanks and their donors also in coming threads
Employee of these think tanks, NGOs, Corporations, Governments, Universities, Army are intermingled but every web will be dismantled
