Everyone needs to understand that transgender ideology is artificially propped up in Colorado politics just as Colorado was artificially accelerated to become Blue by 4 LGBTQ wealthy elites … no one voted for this or wants it and yet here we are
THE BIG FOUR’S COLORADO BLUEPRINT: How Four Wealthy Donors Flipped a Red State (and Artificially Accelerated Transgender and Gender Identity Policies Through Massive Funding, Not Grassroots Momentum)
Picture Colorado in the summer of 2004: a solidly Republican state where the GOP controlled the governor’s mansion, both legislative chambers, most congressional seats, and key statewide offices. Four wealthy Democrats: Tim Gill, Pat Stryker, Jared Polis, and Rutt Bridges, gathered quietly and launched what they called “The Blueprint.” It wasn’t a spontaneous uprising of everyday voters but a calculated, venture capital-style operation funded by their personal fortunes. As detailed in the 2010 book 'The Blueprint' by Adam Schrager and former Republican legislator Rob Witwer, the 2014 documentary 'Rocky Mountain Heist', and Jennifer Bilek’s 2020 First Things article “The Billionaires Behind the LGBT Movement,” this effort first seized political power for the Democrats in recent times in Colorado. Then it built a sophisticated funding machine that critics say unnaturally and artificially propelled transgender and gender identity policies forward: not through broad, organic grassroots support from ordinary people, but through coordinated billions from a handful of ultra-wealthy donors operating largely out of public view.
What started as targeted electoral spending evolved into a top-down philanthropy network that amplified “gender identity ideology” globally and in Colorado law. Early gay rights efforts had roots in small, community-driven groups facing real stigma. After gay marriage become legal, the push for transgender policies appeared to be a natural next step - but it was heavily engineered by elite money, secretive strategy sessions, and international channels. The result? Rapid policy changes that many feel outpaced public consensus.
The Gang of Four and the 2004 Electoral “Heist”
The group, nicknamed the “Gang of Four” or “Four Horsemen", bypassed traditional party structures by forming the Colorado Democracy Alliance. They funneled millions through 527 independent-expenditure groups, voter-turnout operations, and aligned nonprofits, treating politics like a startup investment.
- Tim Gill, Quark software founder, sold his stake in 1999 for about $500 million. Motivated by Colorado’s 1992 Amendment 2 (an anti-gay measure later overturned), he endowed the Gill Foundation with roughly $200 million (inflation-adjusted) for LGBT causes. It has since granted hundreds of millions more to the transgender cause.
- Pat Stryker, medical-device heiress to Stryker Corporation, channeled funds through her Bohemian Foundation.
- Jared Polis, openly gay ProFlowers entrepreneur (now Colorado’s governor since 2019), and Rutt Bridges, software & petroleum entrepreneur, completed this quartet.
In 2004, their donations overwhelmed Republicans: Stryker spending over $850,000, Gill nearly $775,000, Polis and Bridges over $400,000 each. Of $3.6 million in 527 organizations spending, nearly two-thirds came from these four. Democrats flipped both legislative chambers, for the first time in decades. By 2006, they added the governorship and more seats. Total early spending exceeded $20 million, locking in a Democratic “trifecta” that has endured for two decades.
'The Blueprint' explains the mechanics in plain terms: dubiously-funded nonprofits, targeted ads, and ground games that caught the GOP flat-footed. The 'Rocky Mountain Heist' documentary calls it a “heist” by a “shadowy cabal,” visualizing a “blue blob” spreading from Colorado as a warning of national replication.
The Funding Pipeline: From Electoral Power to LGBT Philanthropy
Bilek’s article ties this political takeover directly to LGBT advocacy. Gill and Pat Stryker, with the two other wealthy philanthropists used “ruthless political strategies” to turn Colorado blue while directing roughly half a billion dollars into groups advancing LGBT agendas. Gill introduced Pat’s brother Jon Stryker (openly gay man) at the 2015 GLSEN Respect Awards, recalling how they had “plotted, schemed, hiked and skied together” while “punishing the wicked and rewarding the good.”
Jon Stryker founded the Arcus Foundation in 2000. It poured $58.4 million into LGBT programs from 2007–2010 alone; with Jon personally giving over $30 million from Stryker stock. The family company, started by their grandfather, hit $25.1 billion in annual revenue in 2025 (up 11.2% from 2024), with deep roots in surgical supplies and medical tech. Bilek highlights this medical industry backdrop as relevant context for the scale of later funding priorities.
The Artificial Pivot from Gay Rights to Transgender and Gender Identity Push
Here is where the “not grassroots” reality becomes clearest. Early gay-rights activism grew organically from small communities facing discrimination. But after same-sex marriage victories, the focus shifted dramatically to transgender issues and gender identity ideology. Bilek documents how Arcus and Gill networks built on the Colorado donors’ infrastructure artificially accelerated this through top-down philanthropy, not widespread public demand or bottom-up organizing.
In 2008, Arcus hosted a key meeting in Bellagio, Italy, with 29 international leaders (including Jon Stryker). Michael O’Flaherty (rapporteur for the 2006 Yogyakarta Principles, which applied international human rights law to sexual orientation and gender identity) attended. Bilek notes the Principles “planted the seeds to bring in and attach gender-identity ideology to our legal structures.” O’Flaherty, a former UN Human Rights Committee member, is now Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, in office at his new job since April 2024, based in Strasbourg.
From Bellagio emerged the LGBT Movement Advancement Project (MAP) to coordinate advocacy on gender identity in law, education, and culture. The LGBTI Core Group, an informal UN-linked network of member states (including the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights) formed with Arcus-funded participants like OutRight Action International. Arcus also backed the U.N with funding, alongside Amnesty International and GLSEN. Grants targeted Transgender Europe, ILGA, the Transgender Law Center, ACLU, Center for American Progress, and the 2015 Global Trans Initiative (at least $20 million committed and surpassed). These programs trained activists in “political activism, leadership, transgender law, religious liberty, education, and civil rights.”
The pattern is clear: This is not a natural evolution driven by everyday people. It is a billionaire-orchestrated infrastructure with half a billion spent in Colorado alone, plus hundreds of millions more donated strategically globally from Arcus and Gill, that manufactured rapid cultural and policy acceptance. Public perception framed it as organic “progress,” as meant, but the funding records, donor quotes, and coordinated meetings reveal a top-down strategy using wealth to bypass traditional grassroots organizing.
Colorado as the Proof: Policies Under Governor Polis
With the political safe haven secured, one of the original Four, Jared Polis, became governor in 2019. The Democratic trifecta delivered swift transgender policies:
- 2019 (Jude’s Law / HB 19-1039): Simplified gender marker changes on birth certificates (M/F/X) with no surgery, doctor’s note, or court order required; banned conversion therapy for minors.
- 2025 (Kelly Loving Act / HB 25-1312): Signed by Polis on May 16, 2025 (effective October 1, 2026), it expands anti-discrimination laws to treat intentional deadnaming or misgendering as discriminatory in workplaces, schools, and public settings; eases name/gender document changes.
- Early 2026: Bills advanced to seal minors’ name-change records for privacy.
These built directly on the donor-funded base. What feels unnatural to many was how quickly policies advanced once the money secured the levers of power. It also bring up the ethics and moral foundation of a governor like Jared Polis, who seems to have funded himself to immense power with false equivalence to an organically elected official.
The Deceit Debate: Manufactured Momentum vs. True Civil Rights
Trans rights activists call the moves of the Big Four savvy advocacy for equality. Opponents argue they are inherently deceptive. The trans/gender identity movement publicly appears as grassroots civil rights evolution. In reality, it seems driven by a tiny circle of billionaires using secretive roundtables, dark money, and philanthropy to scale ideology (including UN human rights channels), like they manipulated Colorado’s politics. The half-billion-dollar figure, Gill’s “plotted and schemed” quote, Arcus’s medical-fortune ties, and the Bellagio-to-UN pipeline all point to manufactured momentum rather than broad societal demand. Colorado served as the perfect laboratory before national and global export.
The Legacy of Deceit:
Two decades on, Colorado remains Democratic-controlled. The model inspired donor networks elsewhere. Gill and Arcus foundations continue granting millions annually. U.S. LGBTQ philanthropy totaled $209.4 million in 2023, with trans-specific funding still prominent. Polis is still governor of colarado, though his term ends in November 2026 and cannot be elected again. Whether you see the Big Four as visionary or elite operators, their 2004 effort of electoral flip plus sustained, targeted use of millions of dollars, clearly and unnaturally accelerated transgender and gender identity policies far beyond what organic grassroots movements alone could have achieved. It remains a case study in how concentrated wealth can reshape law, culture, and international norms. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Stay silent as the transgender industry and those standing to profit sway policy, or righteously fight the power?

“Donald Trump is a man for this moment and we should trust him.” 💔Makes the betrayal burn that much worse. This man would have been our president had he not been betrayed by those closest to him for the money money money all for our “greatest ally” ☠️😭 listen to his position and caution on Iran how that would have influenced Americans and think of how the President was unleashed once Charlie was gone
Jena Griswold (Secretary of State) has repeatedly stated that non-citizen voting and widespread fraud are “exceedingly rare,” “not a systemic problem,” and that claims lack evidence. Well here is the evidence. And the reason we have no evidence in Colorado is she hides the voter rolls. We have thousands of pages if severe anomalies in the Colorado Election results, Why will she not allow an independent audit? The truth is Colorado only went Democrat with mail-in-ballot elections, that she ran and won’t let anyone examine the system. It’s a fraud. Colorado is not a Democracy. #colorado #elections
Please share! The same board member who said “safety is a privilege”/adult sexual abuse has been around as long as there have been children/slammed her gavel for a polite clap at a board meeting (among many other things) has reportedly physically intimidated the only non-union board member before a public vote (in a hostile manner)!! The superintendent was in a bathroom stall and overheard it! What will @JeffcoSchoolsCo do about this?! @CBSNewsColorado@KDVR@DenverChannel@DenverGazette
Ok let's do this.
1. Autopsy:
-Why no exit wound? a 30-06 would blow his head off
-What are the red marks that look like burns on his right side?
2. Admissions:
- LT burned the alledged written confession, the evidence is literally ashes. Photo of the letter? can't test for DNA. Twigs could have written it.
-Discord chat confessions? No evidence has been provided beyond LT saying so. Photos of chat? can't verify metadata. Anyone with log in access could have written them.
-Confessed to parents? Where is their statement? Grandpa denies it.
-Confessed to Mitch (family friend): Where's the testimony or written statement? Doesn't exist.
3. Forensics:
- Gun has 3 DNAs: TR, Twiggs and an unknown
- Towel has 2 DNAs: TR and Twiggs
-Screwdriver has 2 DNAs: TR and Twiggs
-Stairwell has 5 DNAs
-"Finger smudge on window below the roof" Not Tylers
-Rooftop DNA- could not get a reading
4. Campus Footage
- Stairwell: Twiggs says "cannot 100% identify as TR" "has never seen the hat". Possibly TR "only due to the jeans and shoes."
-Campus footage: Changes clothes 2x, different backpacks 2x, Gait is different, Height appears different
No clear image of the face on any footage- anywhere- anytime ever.
5. Roomate Testimony
- Twigs says TR never talked about Charlie Kirk
- Twigs says he never talked to TR about "trans or gender" issues
-Twigs says he is not political and TR wasn't either but would sometimes talk about Trump
-Twigs "could not 100% identify TR in the stairwell pix"
6. Robinson pulls trigger on roof
-footage does not exists per Prosecution
-footage released shows a shadow on the roof
- cop admits there is no identifying features in the video. he cannot identify Race, Height, Clothing
- cop admits he cannot tell if there is even a gun. cops report says "bag or long object" does not mention a gun.
I can add a few:
-no shell casing found on Losee center, but a shell casing was found by the library.
- cop finds gun holster and doesn't report it
- same cop's body cam mysteriously stops recording right before he "finds the screwdriver on the roof"
- dispatch reports immediately after Kirk goes down that there is "a man dressed in black, with black vest, black mask and long gun running by the library"
-black backpack is found by library
You can call me a "retard" but...
It is in no way a slam dunk that "TR was a lone actor who took down CK from the Lossee roof with a single shot from a 30-06 because of CK's stance on transgenderism."
This engagement farming is despicable.
It’s a preliminary hearing. The accused hasn’t had a trial yet. Benny says that, to be a Christian, you must condemn the accused before his trial.
This is not a conservative position. It’s also not a Christian one.
It’s just shameful.
This is exactly it @AndrewKolvet - you are a pathetic fading sniveling shadow of a man who betrayed your “friend” over and over!!!!. @RealCandaceO fights FOR CHARLIE AND FOR TRUTH which will win in the end!!
No, @AndrewKolvet—that would be you. The debilitating narcissism it took to believe that you could hijack Charlie’s legacy—his show, his organization, and pervert his vision. You lied about what he believed in, who his friends were, and what and who he feared in the last days of his life. You shamelessly sold replicas of the T-shirt that he bled out in with profits directed to the LLC that you own a stake in. Not “for Charlie”— but for you, Judas.
You displayed the tent he died under, and partnered with the very people he HATED all for money. You presented a grieving widow as an excuse but forgot to instruct her to actually grieve. You hoped the people wouldn’t notice.
You all thought you could pull it off. You had Kash Patel, the DOJ, the President, the White House Administration, Journalists, and the Vegas mafia on speed dial.
You naturally thought you guys were too big to fail but you forgot what made Charlie great and how he won. Charlie never thought he was above the people or his employees. He always debated and never relied on his Rolodex. You coronated Erika like it was her birthright and sneered at people for asking common sense questions. You forgot that it was Charlie’s ability to communicate and listen to people from different walks of life that made him unique.
In the process you crashed and burned the organization he built. But Charlie was always bigger than Turning Point USA. He has changed the world despite what you’ve done. Let TPUSA lay in the ashes of your deceit. The world knows he was betrayed.
The spirit of what Charlie built lives on with the people who are fighting for real justice.
How does Victor Marx expect anyone to vote for him in November if he's blocked anyone who questioned his policies or campaign platform?
He's gonna need to rally a metric ton of votes if he wants to beat Phyllis Weasel Weiser.
St. Michael the archangel,
defend us in this battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and the snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, cast into hell Satan
And all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen. ✝️
It appears @ChildrensColo used fraudulent billing codes while sexually mutilating 800+ kids per year. They only used accurate billing for 22 per year.
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE! 😡
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
I am once again telling you that Colorado is infinitely worse off than anyone thinks. We should run a giant nationwide campaign to liberate Colorado from Communism. I think it's doable, and it would be a great boost of morale for us and a kick in their nuts.
“Why is this important? What am I here to tell you? If the state can force you to accept men as women, they can force you to accept anything. Freedom of speech, belief & association are the bedrock of a free society but they are in direct conflict with transgender ideology.”
45 cases and counting. @JeffcoSchoolsCo has refused to sit down and look at our documentation (which came from them), patterns, and HR gaps. And they continue to foster a “Trusted Adult” culture allowing employees to self-identify as a student’s “trusted adult.” These practices have led to a serious lack of professional boundaries and a culture of permissive predatory behavior. @AAGDhillon@HarmeetKDhillon@Riley_Gaines_
This LGBTQ shit is not real. I wish people would stop dancing around it… They’ve given an entire month to celebrate mental illness and kinks. It’s embarrassing and a huge waste of time and energy. Hormone blockers are child abuse. Verbal gender affirmation of minors is pedophilia or child abuse. Gender surgery is scientific experimentation and butchery. Let the kids be kids, stop pushing junk on them.
It’s no measure of good health to be well adjusted to an insane society.
Our reality testing has gone to crap and people just keep accepting it. I don’t mind being the guy to stand up and go “wtf is going on here?” That’s exactly what we need. This entire Trans thing is one huge psyop and it’s about time we stop playing along with any politicians who pander to it.
This is not a real issue for us to spend this much time on.
These people do not live in reality, they’ve created a fake one and want us to live in it with them. They want to make non reality fiat, it’s a form of gaslighting and political bullying. The mature answer is “no”… They cannot regain control of this government.

Tucker Carlson says he’s officially done supporting the Republican Party after 35 years.
Listen closely to how he ends it. That’s not a man quitting. That’s a man counting.
“There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support the Democratic Party. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
“How could I, or any American voters, support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States, that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?”
“It’s not possible to vote for people like that. And I’m not going to.”
“I’ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. I mean, very consistent defender. But there’s no defending this because it’s immoral.”
“And it’s exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. And they’re not doing that.”
“So, no, I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”
INBOX: HUGE Pride display inside @ChildrensColo in Denver promoting transgenderism onto CHILDREN.
This is the same hospital that was recently forced by the Colorado Supreme Court to resume sex change surgeries for kids.
Parents, beware!
On Father's Day, the New York Times decided to promote a cartoon of a woman cosplaying as a father. And they did it for a reason. Because the cultural left knows that the first step to conquering the future is brainwashing the minds of our children— and they've realized that strong fathers are the biggest obstacle to that goal. They want to tear the institution of fatherhood down to nothing because, to the left, things that are normal, good, and holy are a threat to their marxist revolution.
Senator John Hickenlooper, you pathetic, pandering old fool.
In the middle of Colorado’s self-inflicted disaster — businesses fleeing, crime exploding in Denver and Aurora, forests turned into tinderboxes, taxpayers fleeced for hundreds of millions in free healthcare and housing for illegal aliens, and your party turning the state into a national abortion tourism destination — you’re out here ranking “queer icons” for Pride Month like it’s some noble achievement.
This is peak Hickenlooper: completely detached from reality, obsessed with cultural degeneracy, and desperate for leftist applause while the state you helped ruin burns around you.
In my day, real leaders built universities, laid railroads, fought for statehood, and protected families.
You celebrate confusion, sexual chaos, and the destruction of the natural order while Colorado families pay the price.
You’re not a leader.
You’re a decaying relic of a failed ideology, waving rainbow flags on the deck of a sinking ship and pretending it’s progress.
Disgraceful. Embarrassing.
