As an FYI about how it gets channeled back via NGOs, here is how it works.
NGO gets federal contract to build something in Africa, like wells or small solar installations.
This is now part of a program. A bunch of staff in a beautiful office in the D.C. suburbs or Manhattan get assigned to the program.
Funds meant for building wells in Botswana are now paying for the square footage of office space where the staff work, the salaries of the mostly white, mostly liberal female employees, and assorted travel expenses.
Manhattan and D.C. office space and salaries and elite human capital (Lol, it’s a bunch of upper-middle-class and upper-class talentless white girls with political connections) are expensive, so very little of the money makes it to Botswana.
Once it’s in Botswana a portion ends up in the pockets of bureaucrats, most ends up In the pockets of contractor companies that are actually subsidiaries of offshore firms owned by wealthy donors or the spouses or children of powerful D.C. officials.
Maybe 5% ends up digging any wells. The NGO gals will take a safari over to Botswana for photo ops at one of the few newly built wells and use that as proof that their organization exists for any other reason than subsidizing untalented Democrats and RINOs with taxpayer money.
And THEN, when the overly complex well mechanical systems breakdown, there is no one who can fix it, with no parts available. So the village is back again with no water and a constant reminder of the swindle perpetrated on them by the elites in the West.
Yes, a GREAT way to push American 'soft power'. Isn't that the excuse they use for funding all these 'projects'?
This is a perfect description of how the ENTIRE government of America works. Every agency, every department. DOGE is showing us the corruption but nothing will be done about it. It is the classic too big to fail.
It’s like a large cancerous growth surrounding a small amount of healthy tissue and slowly strangling it.
It needs to be removed, not placated or nibbled at.
Step 1 would be to severely downsize or eliminate any federal agency that’s duplicating the efforts of state level agencies, like the Department of Education or HHS.
The additional bureaucratic layer costs a mountain of money and not only does it not add value to the citizens, it actively subtracts value.
The scary thing is what would have happened in the 2024 elections if they had a decent candidate. I still think there are a lot of Americans who don’t get it and will they ever?
A lot of Americans have been hypnotized and mesmerized growing much too fascinated by bright shiny objects. The illusion of a healthy USA? They too busy buying into materialism. The globalist wants us to be dumbstruck as it promises easier manipulation. Americans better wake up from the hypnosis before the cabal burns the USA into just another third world pissant country
The Democratic Party is in essence a ponzi scheme and a massive money laundering system as you’ve said. They’ve stolen billions from taxpayers and have accomplished nothing for the USA except making themselves millionaires. These thieves make the Italian mafia look like cub scouts.
We have no infrastructure improvements, lack of morals and civility, crimes and drugs, illegals from everywhere in the world and all of this can be traced back specifically to the democrats
What could anyone expect from a political party that has been morally and intellectually bankrupt for decades? Their ideas and policies are bad and their governance skills are pathetic to nonexistent. Everything they touch turns to 💩
One of the most telling examples of a failure of the Democratic Party is when former President Barack Obama lectured Black men about supporting Kamala Harris for their President. It landed like a dead fart! His time is over and his legacy is gone.
I swear to you I have come to this exact conclusion. The only people voting for them outside of stakeholders are the people they've convinced to believe they are popular.
Dem party tactics and techniques parallel/replicate those practiced by leaders of the former Soviet Union and various gov'ts in Asia. Congress was under the control of the party for most of the years post WW2 -- I'm glad all of it has come acropper.
There is a method to the Democrats' madness: Every Democrat policy is designed to build the party’s voting coalition. The Democrat dream: perpetual division and a White minority. "There's nothing crazy about the Democrats' agenda": https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/theres-nothing-crazy-about-the-democrats
Thievery and intimidation tactics were the lifeblood of the big Democrat/big government era. It is my hope that this era is drawing to a close and that its multiple errors will not impoverish us further.
Seeing will be believing. It is impossible to ignore the cultivation of stupidity that has supported robbing people blind, whether that stupidity is grounded in illiteracy or in substances, including electronic substances.
It is also impossible to ignore that the nation permitted so much destruction to occur without uttering a peep. Even urban conflagration was excused.

I pray you are wrong and that we cut the head off of this vicious snake.

No they never will. 😢😢😢
I doubt it.
The democrat party has been the largest money laundering and racketeering operation in world history.
Correct on every point. The Democrat party is a deadly cancer on America. As with biological cancer, it requires aggressive actions to defeat it.

And did it all without breaking any laws. The mafia never had it so good.
Obama may be gone, but the people that put him in power are still around… and powerful. The devil's best lie is that he doesn't really exist.
🎯
Much like the Liberal Party in Canada.
I sure hope they lose the elections. Scary to think it is even projected to be close.

Is that why Hakeem Jeffries later implored his party members to fart harder?
LOL!

Absolutely right. There is no end the the Democrats' schemes to (1) steal tax dollars for themselves, and (2) Control everything.
That's called Totalitarian State.

About time, however, I’ll believe it when I see it. 🤷♀️
