EXCELLENT thread on the who and the where of bringing the heat to #HeritageFoundation.
It’s already done. See seeshell @tentoads4truth who has tracked this info (& more) for years. She’s on X/twitter, but not here. I think she’s tired & has low on hope now :/. She should write a book!
Can also read the books I have in my bio for specific info on the funders, networks & below
