NPR president bombshell just uncovered

One company has stood at the center of every scandal over the 114 days since President Donald Trump became the 47th president of the United States. And one person you may never have heard of connects that company to the most hate-filled corners of the intelligence community.

Her name is Katherine Maher, and she’s simultaneously the CEO of National Public Radio (or NPR) and “the Chair of the Board of Signal Foundation, responsible for the secure, private Signal Messenger app,” according to her official biography on NPR’s website.

Signal has figured deeply in the handful of media-generated “scandals” of the second Trump administration.

In March Mike Waltz, then a National Security Adviser to Trump, somehow added Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a sensitive Signal chat full of government secrets. Although the president said “the only glitch in two months…turned out not to be a serious one,” he soon reassigned Waltz from the NSA by appointing him to the vacant position as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

That operation worked so well that, in April, the legacy media reported, somehow, they had caught Hegseth in another important Signal chat that involved his wife and brother.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., pounced on Hegseth like an undercooked cheeseburger on his grill. “He should be fired,” Schumer told The Hill.

Maher’s Hate-Trump ideology and history in organizations that backed “color revolutions” that topped governments make her the perfect person to exploit such an event.

“Katherine Maher, the leftist NPR CEO, is currently the Chair of the Board of Signal!” said one online commentator. “WHAT ARE THE ODDS?”

President Donald Trump retweeted the post to his millions of followers and got slammed for posting a “wild new conspiracy theory”—but it’s not really wild or new.

Investigative journalist Christopher Rufo exposed Signal’s “Katherine Maher problem” a whole year ago.

“The insider history of Signal raises questions about the app’s origins and its relationship with government—in particular, with the American intelligence apparatus,” wrote Rufo.

Part of the controversial app’s start-up funding came from a $3 million grant from the Open Technology Fund (OTF)…but an OTF worker gave Rufo the real back story.

Signal was always “actually a State Department-connected initiative” to whip up radical “activists [and] parties opposed to governments that the USA doesn’t like”…and topple them.

And there’s nothing stopping the Deep State from just toppling foreign governments they don’t like…least of all Maher.

“Maher, who started her career as a U.S.-backed agent of regime change,” wrote Rufo. “During the Arab Spring period, for instance, Maher ran digital-communications initiatives in the Middle East and North Africa for the National Democratic Institute, a largely government-funded organization that works in concert with American foreign policy campaigns. Maher cultivated relationships with online dissidents and used American technologies to advance the interests of U.S.-supported Color Revolutions abroad.”

Maher has past—and mostly present—connections to the swampiest of internationalist/America-Last organizations. Her bio describes her as a “non-resident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council for democracy and technology, a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and a security fellow at the Truman National Security Project.”

Maher also served stints promoting what the Left considers “rights, democracy, and innovation” at Access Now, the World Bank, the National Democratic Institute, and UNICEF.

It’s safe to say her wardrobe does not contain a single red hat.

Ironically, the Deep State’s desire to take down Hegseth in particular and the Trump administration generally has NPR running stories asking, “Just how secure is the messaging app Signal?” The confidential app overseen by NPR’s CEO “is not a secure government network,” Georgetown University Law Center computer science professor Matt Blaze told NPR’s Morning Edition “Signal isn’t appropriate for high-level government communications.”

Hegseth has even accused Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, a Democrat, of spreading “fake news” to hurt the president, who wants to concentrate on the problems of the American people.

Griffin’s bias remains to be seen—but there’s no question where Maher stands. The Horn pointed out Maher’s extreme liberal bias in minute detail in late March.

In fact, most of it is still online.

Maher called President Trump a “deranged, racist sociopath.”

In 2016, she posted on social media that she “just can’t wait” to vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.  Four years later, she felt the exact same way about Democrat Joe Biden, who could hardly walk or complete an unscripted sentence.

But you can’t blame Maher’s extreme liberalism on Trump Derangement Syndrome. Four years before President Trump came down the golden escalator and entered the Republican presidential primaries, Maher felt hot, bothered, and “excited” after Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren threw her war bonnet in the 2012 race for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.

We may never know if the charges are true, but we can rest assured Maher doesn’t care: She’s already told us so.

Maher’s free to say outrageous things because, she says, truth is ” During a 2022 TED Talk, Maher, then CEO of Wikipedia, said she didn’t believe in truth—and Wikipedia articles wouldn’t get excited about it. Maher called truth “a distraction” from “getting things done”—like passing far-Left bills into law under the next Democrat president.

But first, Maher has to take down Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Hegseth, Waltz, and anyone who stands in her way.
