Financing the Invasion: The “:do Foundation”

Financing the Invasion: The “:do Foundation”

Schnitz

Bourgeoisie against Borders

The name “Edding” has become synonymous with permanent markers due to the immense success of its creator, and is found in every German household. The company is traded on the stock market (EDD3) and produces 200 million pens a year. However, "Edding" should also be a household name for all European nationalists just like Soros and Spectre. Through financing of dozens of anti-border organisations, the family's foundation has become a key player that helps prise open the gates in the ongoing invasion of Europe.

The foundation, based in Germany's second largest city and leftist stronghold Hamburg, was created after company founder Carl-Wilhelm Edding retired and gave a premature inheritance to his two daughters Miriam and Gesine, with the requirement that they set up a philanthropic organisation with a portion of the money. Thus the :do foundation was created. The foundation consists of a Management Board that chooses which projects to fund, a Foundation Board that supervises the foundation’s activities, and a small office team. An investment committee advises the foundation on the ethical and sustainable investment of its assets.

Miriam Edding was first exposed to radical leftism from her mother, a self-described 'pacifist', and further ideologically trained during her University studies. Both her and her sister Gesine remain childless to this day. Their gift to the world instead, thanks to their father’s money, is the facilitation of replacement migration into Europe, through radical organisations that support illegal migration in the field and at home. Meanwhile, Edding senior enjoys his retirement in the leafy suburbs of Hamburg-Volksdorf; migrant percentage: 6% (Hamburg average: 18%).

Seed-money for Sedition

Beginning in 2005, the foundation (or rather, trust fund) supported projects that investigated the history of the Third Reich and German colonial history as well as supporting "global human rights.” Since 2009 however the foundation exclusively funds projects that deal with Refugees and Migration. This was kicked into the next gear in 2015 and 2020 respectively. In total, the organisation has brought to bear a whopping €750.000 between 2014-2019. 

The funding strategy of the foundation aimed for “maximum spread” in order to finance a range of micro to medium initiatives, rewarding successful applications from various organisations with amounts between €500 to €5000. The maximum amount for standard financing is €2000 per project annually. The :do fund also finances several projects for multiple years with a special imbursement of several thousand euros annually that functions as a 'kick-starter' for special projects.

The logic here is simple: fund as many angles of attack on borders as possible to keep up constant pressure. As a result of this strategy the foundation has financed more than 700 projects, equalling dozens annually. The recipient organisations range from “anti-racist initiatives” that distribute material to schools and agitate against nationalism, to NGOs that field boats in the Mediterranean and supply migrants with food and information. The foundation makes sure to facilitate every aspect of illegal entry, and weaken resistance against it whereever possible.

Most of the organisations that are financed by :do are outspoken anti-border leftist NGOs and collectives. While they agitate against nation states, borders and capitalism, they apparently have no problems taking money from western capitalists to achieve their aims. We have seen this before with predatory bankers such as George Soros and his organisations, funding Antifa and BLM in the US (investing on a totally different scale, of course).

A selection of quotes from some :do-financed orgs:

„We are here because of a strong belief in autonomy of migration and freedom for all. We believe, housing is a way to create social cohesion and fight racism and nationalism.“ (boom boom tales)

“borderline-europe offers civil resistance against the European migration and border policy since 2007. [T]hese deaths are a direct consequence of the European migration policy and thus preventable.” (borderline-europe)

“[T]he project aims to create a Mediterranean space of mutual solidarity, with open borders for all people.” (Alarmphone/WatchTheMed)

2020: Open Borders for Corona

In 2020, illegal crossings over the Mediterranean saw an increase of 155% in the first 7 months of the year compared to the previous year according to EU border agency FRONTEX. Despite the fact that the Corona-pandemic adds another layer of imported danger to illegal entries, :do is doubling down against borders with a special call for "initiatives and groups working towards improving the situation of people on the move at the European borders."

So what kind of projects does :do fund, exactly? These can be grouped roughly into three categories. Migrant Facilitation, which consists of direct support to migrants; Propaganda & Indoctrination, consisting of spreading pro-refugee/anti-German propaganda among the population; and Lobbying & Networking, aimed at taking influence on regional/national governments as well as strengthening migrant organisations. A full list can be found here.

With this article, we hope to have informed our readers of another cog in the globalist machine bringing the third world into Europe one boat at a time, with all the deadly consequences that this entails. So when the next migrant boat full of invaders hits our shores, be sure to thank the Eddings for their role in this.

A small selection of projects funded since 2015 (German org names translated.)
