North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum failed to disclose massive financial holdings and interlocked relationships

Fig. 1 ​North Dakota Governor (2016-2024) Douglas J. Burgum. Burgum has played the citizens of North Dakota for the trusting fools. He filed a meager 3-page Statement of Interests in 2020 where he failed to disclose over 80% of his holdings and interlocked relationships. Then, just three years later, he filed a 25-page Office of Government Ethics financial disclosure and 1,501-page donor and lender disclosure during his short-lived run for the American presidency. During his entire political career right up to 2023 he has failed to disclose his interlocking relationships with leaders of the British Pilgrims Society, including Henry Kissinger, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey & Company, among many others.

in his short-lived run for president, Burgum produced a 25-page ethics disclosure and a 1,501-page FeC donor disclosure in 2023.  

They prove that his 2020 North Dakota Statement of Interests was a cynical ethics sham. 

Revelation: Burgum is an up to $59.5 million debt slave to goldman sachs.

Burgum had an ethical duty to disclose . . . but he did not

MAY 31, 2024Doug Burgum’s 2023 disclosures reveal that he is an up to  $59.5 million debt slave to Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs is a leading member of the British Pilgrims Society run by Babylonian Rādhānite merchant-bankers in The City of London and New York. (Sir) Henry Kissinger was a long-time vice president along with Fed Chairman Paul Volker. (See Fig. 4 below for Kissinger Pilgrim’s Society vice presidency verification.) Kissinger’s first speech in 1973 as Nixon’s newly-appointed secretary of state was to the Pilgrims Society in London where he announced the petrodollar over silver.

Nicolas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, was the Pilgrims Society’s long-time American-“branch” president (1902-1945) and mentor to Pilgrim David Sarnoff (AT&T, RCA, NBC, surveillance, propaganda, mind control, communications, satellites) and J. Edgar Hoover (FBI), among many others including (Sir) Caspar Weinberger, (Sir ‘new world order’) George H.W. Bush, (Sir) Rudy Giuliani, (Sir) Alan Greenspan, (Sir) Dean Rusk, (Sir) George Mitchell. More recently (Sir biowarfare) Bill Gates. These facts beg the obvious question: Who has really been controlling America since the dawn of the 20th century? Burgum is evidently groomed and controlled by this secret group.

Burgum’s 1,501-page FEC Form 3P donor report is padded with “Winred, P.O. Box 9891, Arlington VA 22219-1891” repeated 3,488 times. It appears to be a donor faking scheme to meet minimum thresholds to qualify for debate participation. Burgum’s handlers were evidently eager to expose their no-name groom to a wider audience.

Burgum lied to North Dakotans about his finances, and feigned trustworthiness, while he deceived the public in order to convince voters that he is trustworthy. This Orwellian double talk is Gaslighting 101. “By their fruit you shall know them.” Matthew 7:16.

On page 1,500 or 1,501, Burgum discloses a Jun. 22, 2023 $4.5 million campaign loan from Goldman Sachs with dubious terms: no interest, ambiguous collateral, no due date. Sounds like the Rothschild and Warburg loans-never-paid-back to form the Federal Reserve in 1913. Add this $4.5 million amount to his federal disclosure of up to $55 million in Goldman Sachs loans and we see up to $59.5 million in Goldman loans.

The “Safe harbor rule” financial disclosure ethics scam

A favorite sleight of hand on federal OGE 278 financial disclosure forms is the ranges used to delineate the amounts held. For example: $1m-$5m, and $5m-$25m, and $25m-$50m, and over $50m. These ranges give a wide swath in which to hide misconduct. Further, in 2000 the Office of Government Ethics issued a tortured opinion changing its disclosure rules so that the actual stocks held in mutual funds did not have to be disclosed. In so doing, a judge, for example, could hold stock in Facebook in his mutual fund without being required to disclose his Facebook holding even when a case involving Facebok came to that court. See Aug. 25, 2000 Proposal, and Sep. 06, 2000 Rules Change. This is exactly what the federal judges did, including Chief Justice John Roberts, in the Leader v. Facebook patent infringement trial. The Federal Circuit (Circuit judges Rader, Lourie, Moore, Wallach, clerk Horbaly, and now Stark, then District Court magistrate) ignored an amicus brief exposing their interlocked Facebook financial interests.

​In short, a decision in Facebook’s favor in that court boosted the value of that judge’s mutual funds that held Facebook stock. This sleight of hand re. mutual funds is euphemistically called “the safe harbor rule” today. Truth is, it is not a rule, not a law, it is only a “concept” applied like a law written in stone.

Why? Congress never approved this safe harbor “concept.” But, politicians, judges, and bureaucrats have adopted it across the board as if it was law. It gives them the excuse to hide their financial interests in companies that come before them as public officials. It is insider trading dressed up to look legal. Untold British offshore secret accounts add to this betrayal of the citizenry.

Goldman Sachs was Burgum’s Great Plains Software underwriter and largest outside investor in 1998. We will reveal these proofs later in this post.

Burgum is an evident groomed cardboard cut-out of the Pilgrims Society. How else would a no-name from North Dakota graduate with a dubious B.U.S. degree (Bachelor of University Studies, huh?), start a chimney sweep business, become BFF with Steve Ballmer, then have the experience to buy an accounting software company, team with Goldman Sachs and IBM and then sell to Microsoft for $1.1 billion. This just does not happen outside of the military-industrial complex bubble of corruption.

Ethics Failure #1 – Arthur Ventures interlocks

Burgum’s 2020 Statement of Interests failed to disclose 80% of holdings in the venture capital treachery he ostensibly founded named Arthur Ventures.

Those nondisclosures reveal extensive interlocked relationships with BlackRock, Vanguard, Koch, Piper Jaffray, and Microsoft through his partners Patrick Meenan (since 2012), Ryan Kruizenga (since 2016), and David O’Hara (undisclosed).

Ethics Failure #2 – Goldman Sachs interlocks

Doug Burgum is an up to $49.5 million Goldman Sachs debt slave. $4.5  million was loaned to his 2024 presidential campaign with no strings attached, not due data, and no collateral. With no mechanism to pay back the loan. Add this $4.5 million campaign disclosure to his federal disclosure of up to $55 million in Goldman Sachs loans and we see up to $59.5 million in Goldman loans. Goldman can certainly make sure that the loan becomes a ball and chain controlling Burgum indefinitely. 

Two-term governor of North Dakota, Doug Burgum, ran for president for 11 months in 2023 (Jan. 07 to Dec. 04). He qualified for the Republican debate on Aug. 23, 2023 by selling $20 gift cards for a $1 donation to reach the required 40,000 donor threshold. In short, he bought votes.

Ethics Failure #3 – North Dakota Statement of Interest lies

​Burgum filed a three-page ethics disclosure called a “Statement ​of Interest” in North Dakota. The law required him to disclose all material relationships, holdings, and directorships that might affect his impartiality. Even a cursory review of the public record shows that Burgum failed dramatically to be transparent with the citizens of North Dakota. He failed to disclose 25 pages of interests that he later disclosed in his federal ethics disclosure OGE Form 278e. The public record clearly shows that Burgman scoffed at the requirement to disclose ALL material relationships and holdings, just on his Arthur Ventures venture capital companies alone.

Ethics Failure #4 – gREAT pLAINS sOFTWARE INTERLOCKS

Burgum’s ethics statement hid substantial Great Plains Software material interests and interlocked relationships.

On March 19, 1998, Burgum took Great Plains Software public after investing a modest $250,000 in Mar. 1983 that was raised by mortgaging his portion of the family farm, so the dubious propaganda goes. We also find his unlikely linkup with Steve Ballmer at Stanford dubious as well, In 2000 Burgum sold the company to Microsoft for $1.1 billion.

On September 1, 1998, Burgum’s Great Plains cut a sweetheart outsourcing deal with IBM. Great Plains is an enterprise accounting system now called Microsoft Dynamics 365. 

Burgum became president in 1984, then chairman and CEO by 1997. Just prior to the sell-out to Microsoft, Burgum had also interlocked himself with IBM. 

Great Plains’ largest outside investor was Goldman Sachs Group. Their securities law firm was Hale and Dorr LLP (now Wilmer & Hale LLP Robert S. Mueller’s III firm). 

Great Plains maintained subsidiaries throughout British Commonwealth dependents including UK,  Australia, Singapore, and South Africa.

His North Dakota 2020 Statement of Interest discloses on one (1) Great Plains investment, but in his 2023 Office of Government Ethics disclosure he discloses 47 Great Plains investments! No reasonable person can explain such a dichotomy except FRAUD, we believe.

Ethics Failure #5 – uNIPARTY interlocks

Burgum teamed with the Uniparty without disclosing the interlocking relationships.

Doug Burgum for America, Inc. failed to disclose its interlocked relationships with at least 159 other federal political action committees (PACs) by way of histreasurer Paul Kilgore, Athens, Georgia. These relationships include a subsidiary relationship with the NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) funneled through a PAC named “Pit Crew Fund“.

Kilgore is the treasurer for at least 159 PACs according to the FEC. Burgum had/has a duty to disclose these material relationships. See List of Paul Kilgore’s clients.

Burgum employs uniparty treasurer Paul Kilgore

Ethics Failure #5 – Pilgrims Society interlocks

Burgum failed to disclose his decades-long interlocked relationships to Henry Kissinger, Kissinger & Associates, British Pilgrims Society, McKinsey & Company, and Steven K. Sydness.

When Burgum took Great Plains Software public in 1998, he identified a vice president of International Operations named Steven K. Sydness who was employed by Henry Kissinger Associates and the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, Inc. in their New York and Tokyo offices. Sydness attended Harvard Business School and Principia College. Burgum supported Sydness for Congress.

At Great Plains Software Sydness had been VP Strategic Planning, VP Sales, VP Business Development, VP, Dynamics Group, VP International Operations.

In Sep. 1999, Sydness then became founder, executive chairman, and CEO of Endurance International Group, Inc. (EIG). Henry Kissinger was executive advisor. Endurance was an acquisitions vehicle to consolidate Internet hosting companies into just a few hands globally. EIG acquired more than 70 hosting companies in an evident monopolistic purchasing spree.

Sydness died in 2014, but EIG went on to be purchased by Clearlake Capital Group brokered, lawyered, and banked by the usual Pilgrims Society suspects including Accel-KKR (James W. Breyer, Accel Partners, Facebook, National Venture Capital Association, American Academy of Achievement, Chinese Premier Xi ​Jinping), Goldman Sachs Group, GS Capital Partners, Warburg Pincus, Wilmer Hale LLP, Sidley Austin LLP, Kirkland Ellis LLP, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Rothschild & Co.

Sydness’ association with Kissinger & Associates was removed in the first Great Plains proxy statement on October 15, 1997. The Burgum association with Pilgrims Society leader Kissinger is kryptonite when it becomes know, hence the strong attempt to hide it.

Kissinger’s entire career from his first days with the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1950’s was to promote the “new world order” driven by the Pilgrims Society in London through its Babylonian Radknight merchant-bankers in The City of London. For example, when Richard Nixon appointed Kissinger Secretary of State in his second administration, Kissinger’s first speech was to the Pilgrims Society in London where he announced the death of the silver backed dollar and the rise of the petro dollar.


Mehra’ association with Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was hidden in the first Great Plains proxy statement on October 15, 1997 and the S-1 Registration March 19, 1998.

By way of conclusion to this section, interlocking relationships rarely expire, they just lie dormant for a while. However, when the needs arise, these interlocks are like spies, they are always on call for the next Pilgrims Society project. 

Put another way, when you have been initiates into the pagan Pilgrims Society Babylonian Radknight merchant-banker world, an invitation to a new ritual cleansing is always just around the corner.

Burgum fails to disclose the vast majority of his Pilgrims Society interlocks.

CAN Amer​Ica unchain herself from the Pilgrims Society 24-Point Plan to Annex America?

We did not heed Lillian Scott Troy’s warnings in 1913

We let her be deported and robbed by England without protest.

Will we listen to her now, 111 years later? 

Time will tell. 

Would Annex America [says Lillian Scott Troy], p. 20. The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, Tennessee).

Note: Columbia University president Nicolas Murray Butler served as president of the Pilgrims Society of the United States “branch” from 1903-1945. He oversaw the organizing of the British First Imperial Press Conference, 1909, oversaw the recruitment of Franklin D. RooseveltDavid Sarnoff (RCA, NBC), J. Edgar Hoover (FBI), Anglican Bishop Henry C. Potter into the Pilgrims Society.

Elihu Root was co-founder of the Pilgrims Society (1902); former U.S. Secretary of War (1899-1904); U.S. Secretary of State (1905-1909); NY U.S. Senator (1909-1913); founding president, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (1910); Nobel Prize (1912); founder, Council on Foreign Relations (1918). He was also personal attorney to J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie.

John Hay was U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James where he promoted annexation of America by Britain. He once described (banker) war “as necessary as it is righteous” and described another war as “a splendid little war”–he was a Pilgrims Society merchant-banker warlord par excellence.

Would Annex America [says Lillian Scott Troy], p. 20. The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, Tennessee).

. . . “[T]he idea of the arbitration treaties was not Taft’s, but that of [Andrew] Carnegie and King Edward [VII] who sent it to America to be labeled “Made in the U.S.A.;” The Hague tribunal is essentially a British product, instituted simply for the ultimate undoing of the United States, and that Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and others are rewriting American history to disparage the heroes of the Revolution.” (Emphases added.)
