I had been looking into the McCain Institute and had came accross something I hadn't heard before. The Sedona Forum. According to their website "THE SEDONA FORUM is The McCain Institute’s annual, high-level, private gathering of national and international leaders held each spring at The Enchantment Resort in the red rock country of Sedona, Arizona." http://www.thesedonaforum.org/
They aren't kidding when they say high level. 2015 participant list http://archive.is/Wr9oQ - 2014 Participant List http://archive.is/yBpWw -
Just to name some that are pretty striking: Lynn Foreseter De Rothschild, Evelyn De Rothschild, Tony Blair, HRC, Saudi/qatar/indonesia ambassadors, Gen Petreus, Demi Moore, Pres of NCMEC, former prime minister of Russia and lots of CFR members and even came across a trilateral commision member with ties to Podesta. I basically just started doing some digging on a few of the attendees and this is what I found. I suggest you guys look into these folks as well.
David Miliband - President/CEO of International Rescue Committee. https://www.rescue.org/board-and-overseers - I'm not sure if any research has been done in this organization, but looks like they work with refugees and victims of disaster. Look at the previous link I included of their board. The board and overseers include Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Allbright, Colin Powell, Tim Geithner, James Wolfensohn from World Bank. David Miliband is also Trilateral Commission. Also interesting is that he works for Center for American Progress, along with John Podesta. Here is an article from Breitbart on David Miliband and he's pictured with none other than George Soros. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/02/01/david-miliband-create-one-million-work-permits-for-migrants/
Here are two emails referring to David Miliband from the Podesta wikileaks emails:
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/58539
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/17215
The first link was a dinner reminder with host David Miliband. And the second link was regarding someone reminding podesta about a conversation with a couple people, including Milibrand. Here is another article from the Center for American Progress that puts Podesta and Miliband at the same place/time. http://archive.is/j46Ef I came accross, this following post http://archive.is/wA2Mz - The person who wrote the post was able to discover that David Miliband, friend of Podesta...was in Portugal on Sept.08, 2007, the very morning the McCanns were being made arguidos, and questions were raised as to why he was there at all.
Speaking of McCann...her father Gerry McCann is pictured here with Ernie Allen http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/Nigel/sitebuilderpictures/GerryMcCannwithErnieAllen.jpg - Ernie Allen is one of the attendees at the Sedona Forum . The participant list shows he is part of the McCain Institute's Human Trafficking Advisory Council and also the president of NCMEC. I saw a few voat posts on Ernie Allen, so he could be another person looking into. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1688257 - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1458188 - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1665583 - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1458188
Another person I looked into was Mark P Lagon. He was appointed by GW Bush as the Ambassador At-Large to monitor Human Trafficking. http://www.un.org/ga/president/62/ThematicDebates/humantrafficking/lagon.pdf - If what we know about Bush is true, then Mark Lagon, must be involved some way, if Bush appointed him to overseer human trafficking for him. Mark Lagon is also listed on the CFR Roster, which can be no good either. http://www.cfr.org/about/membership/roster.html?letter=L - Interestingly enough, he is actually on the Board of Advisors for an organization called ECPAT, which has been "at the forefront of the fight to end the commercial sexual exploitation of children." http://ecpatusa.org/team/
I came accross this article going through the Sedona Forum info. https://www.mccaininstitute.org/events/road-forward-fighting-human-trafficking-115th-congress-2/ the moderator of the human trafficking event was Martina Vandenberg. Martina Vandenberg may be important. While searching her name, I came accross an organization called Open Society in which she was part of a fellowship program in D.C. More interesting than the possibility that their logo could be mistaken for a pedo swirl http://www.osf.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Open-Society-Foundations.jpg - is the fact that its ran by George Soros. https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/ - Here is an article from Center from American Progress which links Podesta to Open Society Foundations and Soros. Since its a non profit organization, I thought I'd look up some info on it. Not sure exactly what the income means on a non-profit, but looking at the numbers listed here...income is reaching almost 1 billion. https://www.melissadata.com/lookups/np.asp?zip=open+society Thats pretty massive for a non-profit.
I know McCain has been freaking out about possible Trump ties to the Russians...but I find it odd that McCain is inviting russians to his private meetings. One of the attendees was Mikhail Kasyanov. He is the former Russian Prime Minister who got busted in a sex sting with his assistant. http://observer.com/2016/04/former-russian-prime-minister-caught-on-camera-having-sex-with-opposition-leader/ Another Russian invited was an opponent of Putin and is working for a movement called Open Russia, started by ex-oligarch Vladimir Kara Murzam. https://www.rt.com/politics/376834-opposition-figure-kara-murza-out/ Why is McCain meeting in private meetings discusing foreign policy with Putin Opponents? Why is he meeting with any Russian, when he is calling out Trump administration for just speaking with any Russian. Is McCain on their payroll? Is that why he is so eager to go to war with Putin?
Why is there hardly any info on Sedona Forum, aside from the stuff they put out? I mean don't you think having Ambassadors from Saudi Arabia/Qatar/Iraq/ukraine/indonesia/belarus and many others...on top of countless cfr members, people working with soros, CEO's of major companies, associates from the Rothschilds, Jp Morgan, Lehman, and Rockefeller...would be worthy of some media coverage? But I don't see much.
This could bring up some leads if we can keep looking up some of the rest of the attendees and what organizations/NGO they may be associated with. That miliband portugal podesta connection might be interesting to look into also. Please share your findings!

Hi, All,
There's been lots of discussions that involve these not-for-profit (NFP) organizations, but I've not found where anybody on the forum here has talked about the tax returns for these not-for-profits. The IRS requires that NFPs file some form of a 990 form each year to maintain their tax-exempt status (there are 990-EZs for simple organizations and the bigger 990s for more complex organizations). These tax returns ARE SUBJECT TO PUBLIC INSPECTION. Therefore, lots of organizations post them on their websites and there are other charitable organization ratings/monitoring companies that also make these returns available (e.g. www.guidestar.org).
For example, the McCain Institute Foundation 's 44-page 990 form for 2014 is here:
2014 McCain Institute Foundation tax return: (https://www.scribd.com/document/306548232/McCain-Institute-2014-990))
What's interesting about these returns is that besides the income and expenses of the organization, they list the directors and lots of other pertinent information, like the names of organizations to which they give grants or make donations as well as people/organizations from whom they receive contributions in excess of $5,000. If you look at this McCain Institute 2014 return, you'll see that the Royal Embassy of Saudia Arabia contributed $1,000,000 to the McCain Institute in 2014. There are others listed as well: The Eranda Foundation from the UK -- I don't know who they are but they donated $300,000 in 2014
In addition, this particular 990 has a 23-page Investments Schedule attached to it which details, for example, how many shares in the HSBC FDS Hedge fund they own. (Didn't I see a post earlier today talking about HSBC's link to money laundering for some of these criminals?) All of which is to say that there's a huge amount of information on these IRS public record tax returns.
I have been trying to do some research on a few of these NFPs, which I will post when it's in better order, but for now, I want people to know this resource is out there.
Here's the IRS website to find an EIN (Employer Identification Number) for NFPs:
https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/pub78Search.do?searchChoice=pub78&dispatchMethod=navigateSearch&pathName=forwardToPub78Search&submitName=Return+to+Search
The search criteria requires you to put the name in quotes to have a manageable list (e.g., "McCain Institute" pulls up just the one).
The beauty of having an EIN is that it's very specific, so it's easily searched on google. For example, I entered the EIN for "Innocents at Risk" and the top five items were ALL pertinent.
Also these are usually available as downloadable pdfs so that helps in countering the disappearing-evidence problem that we all keep seeing.
So, if people can get started pulling the 990 forms for all of these various NFPs that are tied into all of this, they will give us lots of leads to work with. Organizations that don't post their 990s are supposed to provide them upon request.
I'm sorry I can't take more time right now, but I will happily answer questions if anybody has any related to this post. (I'm no tax expert or anything, but I do have a bit of familiarity with 990-EZs.)

Eranda Foundation is owned and operated by the Rothschilds. Lynn Forester de Rothschild and her husband Evelyn Rothschild. Lynn Rothschild is on the McCain Institute Board of Trustees.
https://www.mccaininstitute.org/staff/?filter=board-of-trustees
She is a close friend and major financial backer of Hillary Clinton and she also backed John McCain in 2008 after Hillary lost the DNC nomination to Barack Obama.

Hi, Koched_Up404: I just referenced your above comment in a different thread: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1718090
(Sorry if there's a better way to do this that I should be following but don't know about.)
