Who’s Your Benefactor?

 

Regarding the address to the joint session of Congress by President Trump, I thought he did a great job expressing the citizens concerns and that 70+% favorable response to it proved he was still hitting the right buttons for US.

It did occur to me during the speech that we were getting a modern fireside chat; those FDR chats that worked so well to restore American’s faith in government despite the fact the citizens were getting sold a bill of goods by an invalid democrat intent on change and looking forward to war. President Trump, however, is looking forward to peace and we have to believe the Republican Party, this version of the Republican Party, is right there with him.

That wasn’t always the case , you’ll remember, with the Republican Party.

When I lived in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in what used to be the Eighth district, the Republican In Name Only was Jim Greenwood. I wrote about him before, back when he was yearning to join in the World Wide Parliament and drag US into it.

https://www.bucksafa11.org/2019/06/18/dear-president-trump/ has enough of Greenwood’s story in it for anyone interested in validating his treacherous mendacity for themselves.

March 2001 – Pocantico – Hudson Valley, New York GLOBE USA will be holding an international legislative conference to stratetgize how legislators from Europe, Japan and the US can work to address strong environmetal standards for all ECAs.

Not many may remember this but if it required a congressional vote to make it happen, he would have been in favor…

AWACs Deployed to the United States

Five NATO AWACs aircraft, one NATO Trainer Cargo Aircraft, and a detachment of 200 personnel arrived in the U.S. from Geilenkirchen, Germany, on October 9-10. The aircraft are based at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, where they will operate with North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), helping to defend the continental United States in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The United States asked NATO to deploy the AWACs aircraft to assist in the NORAD mission, to allow other U.S. aircraft of this type to deploy elsewhere, and to share the burden of NORAD AWACs flights.

This deployment is part of NATO’s historic invocation of Article 5 of the NATO charter, which embodies the principle of collective defense: an attack on one is an attack on all. Personnel for this NATO detachment come from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the United States.

Requests for media interviews or media orientation flights on NATO or U.S. AWACs can be directed to NORAD Public Affairs, (719) 554-6889.

https://globelegislators.org/about-globe/history/ is still active and if you didn’t notice, on page 3 of that archived GlobeUSA newsletter above, there was a clue to the identity of one the world’s future royal families…

A longtime a supporter of making policymakers aware of global trends and issues, Rockefeller approved a grant for GLOBE USA to highlight the changing role of national legislators as globalization and international institutions take traditionally national policy issues into the international arena…

Rockefellers have a dream and they intend to live it. It’s for the benefit of humanity, dammit; that alone deserves a look at how we’ll benefit from it. After all, it was US who paid and continues to pay for their beneficence.

They (John D Rockefeller jr and progeny) did gift the world with the US property the UN was built on and nineteen years prior to that he provided the building fund for the League of Nations

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/pierre-etienne-bourneuf-396529257_the-man-who-determined-the-site-of-the-headquarters-activity-7174443811924832257-9QPO and subsequently, as reported here https://press.un.org/en/2012/sgsm14498.doc.htm the family is held in a euro/third world type of esteem as is recognizable in Ban Ki-moon’s remarks of 2012:

I am honoured to be here on this eighty-fifth anniversary of the historic donation of John D. Rockefeller Jr. to the League of Nations Library.  At the time, Mr. Rockefeller said he made the gift based on the conviction that “peace must finally be built on the foundation of well-informed public opinion.”  This powerful statement rings true today.

It is fitting that we are naming this room after him.  I thank the family for donating the portrait of John D. Rockefeller that was displayed at the Rockefeller Foundation for 65 years.  In offering this generous gift, David Rockefeller said he hoped it would serve as a reminder of his father’s generosity – but more importantly his conviction that strong international organizations can help create a just, equitable and peaceful world.

The Rockefeller family has lived up to this conviction, providing immense support for the League of Nations and the United Nations over the years.  The original donation to this library was particularly significant.  Even today, the interest provides approximately $150,000 every biennium to this wonderful library.  That makes it possible to care for its many priceless historical treasures, including a signed copy of the Treaty of Versailles and the Covenant of the League of Nations.

This Library is also the home of the original letter from Alfred Nobel announcing his intention to create the Nobel Prize and the Official Transfer of the League of Nations to the United Nations.  This collection is so important that it is inscribed in UNESCO’s [United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization] Memory of the World Register.

This Library also safeguards more recent history, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with original letters from Eleanor Roosevelt and René Cassin.  I applaud the mission of this library to serve international understanding.  I am deeply grateful to all the staff.  You make an enormous contribution through your help for researchers and citizens who are interested in the United Nations’ history and work.  I personally want to thank the Rockefeller family for my own office — and the entire United Nations campus on the East Side of Manhattan…

A few things about that speech…

Ki-moon’s claims about that collection of globalist documents being so important they are inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register got me to wondering: a) if it wasn’t for the USofA, Rockefeller’s opportunity to gain riches beyond anyone’s imagination, their (JDRjr and https://www.rbf.org/about/about-us/timeline progeny) value and impact could have been greatly diminished and b) if the Rockefeller’s didn’t have the cash to pony up, Europe as it exists today wouldn’t be recognizable; which raises this question, do they have a copy of our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights inscribed in the memory of the world register? How about our Declaration of Independence? I know a copy of that  exists. Of course, it’s a declaration of independence not a scheme to expand control for a few over many.

(N.B. The previous sentence was written weeks ago. This post has been a work in progress for that long; further on you will read an expanded interpretation of the previous line that will broaden the understanding of the phrase the Great Experiment that I think will reflect the reality of the current times.)

Their mention of The Treaty of Versailles and the Covenant of the League of Nations models their banter and bullchit style of governance.

A search for Covenant of the League of Nations yielded this from the U.S. State Department

https://www.britannica.com/topic/League-of-Nations/The-Covenant eventually produced this gem:

When, in the last years of war, the Allied leaders began to make plans for the future international organization, they rejected any idea of reviving the Covenant.

The first meeting of the United Nations General Assembly was held in Westminster Central Hall, on 10 January 1946.[10] The Security Council met for the first time a week later, 17 January 1946, in Church House.[11]

https://main.un.org/securitycouncil/en/content/what-security-council when the Security Council held its first session on 17 January 1946 at Church House, Westminster, London.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_House,_Westminster

https://main.un.org/securitycouncil/en/content/what-security-council

Security council may:

When a complaint concerning a threat to peace is brought before it, the Council’s first action is usually to recommend that the parties try to reach agreement by peaceful means. The Council may:

  • set forth principles for such an agreement;
  • undertake investigation and mediation, in some cases;
  • dispatch a mission;
  • appoint special envoys; or
  • request the Secretary-General to use his good offices to achieve a pacific settlement of the dispute.

When a dispute leads to hostilities, the Council’s primary concern is to bring them to an end as soon as possible. In that case, the Council may:

  • issue ceasefire directives that can help prevent an escalation of the conflict;
  • dispatch military observers or a peacekeeping force to help reduce tensions, separate opposing forces and establish a calm in which peaceful settlements may be sought.

Beyond this, the Council may opt for enforcement measures, including:

  • economic sanctions, arms embargoes, financial penalties and restrictions, and travel bans;
  • severance of diplomatic relations;
  • blockade;
  • or even collective military action.

A chief concern is to focus action on those responsible for the policies or practices condemned by the international community, while minimizing the impact of the measures taken on other parts of the population and economy.
Before we get further into the one world government wannabe’s nuts and bolts take a look at their cash cost to US.

From Pew  https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/02/06/what-the-data-says-about-us-foreign-aid/

Between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2023, annual aid spending ranged from $52.9 billion to $77.3 billion, adjusted for inflation.

The U.S. government is the single-largest aid donor in the world, according to the United Nations, accounting for more than 40% of all humanitarian aid the UN tracked in 2024.

The Pew research bar chart lists our contributions between 2001 and 2023.

https://usafacts.org/about-usafacts/ claims:

Researchers. Analysts. Statisticians. Designers. No politicians.

No one at USAFacts is trying to convince you of anything. The only opinion we have is that government data should be easier to access. Our entire mission is to provide you with facts about the United States that are rooted in data. We believe once you have the solid, unbiased numbers behind the issues you can make up your own mind.

https://usafacts.org/articles/which-countries-receive-the-most-aid-from-the-us/

The US has given out over $3.8 trillion in foreign aid (adjusted for inflation) since the end of World War II.

US foreign aid has varied over time due to various geopolitical circumstances, economic conditions, and national priorities. At its height in 1949, US foreign aid totaled nearly $100 billion, while it bottomed out at just under $25 billion in 1997, both after adjusting for inflation.

Between 1946 and 2022, the US has spent an average of $51.0 billion each year.

$51,000,000,000 x 76 years. You do the math. That was our wealth down the Rockefeller directed drain.

Rockefeller’s Council of Foreign Relations https://www.cfr.org/article/funding-united-nations-what-impact-do-us-contributions-have-un-agencies-and-programs admits that “Every member of the United Nations is required to contribute to the organization’s budget. The United States has been the largest donor since the body’s founding in 1945.” 

The United States today remains the largest donor to the United Nations. It contributed close to $13 billion in 2023, accounting for more than a quarter of funding for the body’s collective budget. Following President Donald Trump’s efforts to cut funding during his first term, President Joe Biden asserted the United Nations’ importance to U.S. foreign policy by restoring funding to several agencies that was paused by Trump

Funding the UN: Assessed and Voluntary Contributions 

The United Nations is a vast, complex intergovernmental organization. This chart is a simplified representation of the UN system, including its largest and most influential bodies.

The list is long. You should take advantage of the fact it’s there. It might come in handy as the subject of the UN’s impact on our freedom advances.

What compilation of waste would be complete without the name of Biden being  mentioned https://www.heritage.org/global-politics/commentary/biden-sets-record-us-taxpayer-funding-unappreciative-un

And finally, the word from Cato https://www.cato.org/blog/us-funding-united-nations should encourage Trump critics to button their lips… out of embarrassment:

The Trump administration has cut foreign aid spending, including some UN activities. The administration has withdrawn the US from the WHO and the Human Rights Council and has extended the US funding ban of UNRWA. Additionally, the White House is reviewing US support of the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Another mostly kept secret?  https://unausa.org/

The United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA) is a movement of Americans dedicated to supporting the United Nations. With over 20,000 members (60% under the age of 26) and more than 200 chapters across the country, UNA-USA members are united in their commitment to global engagement and their belief that each of us can play a part in advancing the UN’s mission and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Sounds like the members need a class or two in Detecting BS. Consider this a First Step type initiative

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Association_of_the_United_States_of_America

“UNA-USA members, which comprise the largest network of UN supporters in America, are champions of UN Peacekeeping and understand that fulfilling our financial obligations is essential to maintaining a strong U.S.-UN partnership,” said Rachel Bowen Pittman, Executive Director, United Nations Association of the USA. “We’re grateful to Representatives Jacobs, Kamlager-Dove, Phillips, Castro, and Jackson for co-leading the U.S. Commitment to Peacekeeping Act of 2023.”

“Our research and work in peacekeeping contexts has shown clearly that UN peacekeeping saves lives,” said Wendy MacClinchy, United Nations Director, Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC). “Peacekeepers protect civilians, including those most vulnerable to harm. They monitor and investigate human rights violations, prevent mass atrocities, support community early warning systems, and enable survivors of conflict-related sexual violence get access to justice, often amidst sustained armed conflict. Yet the United States has not reliably funded its share of peacekeeping. If passed, this bill would help the US meet its commitments and enable peacekeeping to remain effective and properly resourced, including through more agile operations, better community engagement, and preparing for peacekeeping transitions.”

UN peacekeeping saves lives? I doubt anybody but fools and traitors believe that.

https://afsa.org/why-peacekeeping-fails

…the Security Council has passed 75 resolutions reminding governments of their obligation to protect their own citizens. Of that number, 41 were directed at the five countries where protection and stabilization missions are now taking place. The R2P principle also holds that if the government fails to protect its own citizens, the international community may step in to do so. Because the governments of these countries are either unwilling or unable to provide such security, the peacekeepers are being asked to do so.

https://www.unwomen.org/en/articles/facts-and-figures/facts-and-figures-women-peace-and-security

It appears women have a larger lens regarding peace and security and see things differently… a couple of examples:

The proportion of women killed in armed conflicts doubled in 2023 compared to the previous year. Sexual violence in conflict rose dramatically with UN-verified cases of conflict-related sexual violence soaring by 50 per cent to 3688 cases and the number of girls affected by grave violations in situations of armed conflict increased by 35 per cent

…The 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action set a global target for equal political participation between men and women. However, nearly three decades later, gender equality in politics is still far off, and many conflict-affected countries are lagging. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_abuse_by_UN_peacekeepers

In 2015, the UN started disclosing more figures about thousands of allegations of forced sex with UN soldiers in exchange for material aid, of which hundreds involved minors…[7]

…UN troops in the SudanDemocratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Central African Republic have been accused of sexual abuse of women, men, and often children…[8]

…In Haiti, between 2004 and 2007, at least 134 Sri Lankan peacekeepers operated a child sex ring involving at least 9 confirmed children. According to incident reports, they wanted both girls and boys as young as 12 for sex. “I did not even have breast”

So why are we in it?

Take your pick: https://journal.equinoxpub.com/IR/article/view/23218 Coercive rhetoric, https://studyfinds.org/brain-switch-ocd/? ,malfunctioning brain switch or

https://seek.rockefeller.edu/flipping-a-switch-inside-the-head/.

Do you know anybody who takes the UN seriously? If we were normally functioning adults capable of recognizing serious and purposely created failures in communication and recognized it as the threat to US it is we’d have been done with it long ago.

Transparency is Rarely Transparent

 

As Fortune would have it, this mention of transparency https://www.bridgemi.com/guest-commentary/opinion-restoring-trust-transparency directed at the local populace served as a reminder to me to get on with this project to broaden the understanding not of the word ‘transparency’ but it’s application.

In a world of Nations the meaning of transparency depends on the Party’s in power.

Continuing down the UN vein, they explain transparency as a pre-conditional effect on the probability of corrupt behavior impacting governmental processes. https://www.unodc.org/e4j/en/anti-corruption/module-6/key-issues/transparency-as-a-precondition.html Any explanation about transparency from the UN should immediately raise the shields of wise and wary American minds with an immediate “Pot calling kettle black Pot calling kettle black” alert before https://fablesofaesop.com/the-cat-and-the-cock.html the cat and the cock fable is fulfilled once again at the expense of US citizens.

For the UN, a https://grace.unodc.org/grace/uploads/documents/academics/Anti-Corruption_Module_6_Detecting_and_Investigating_Corruption.pdf a closer look reveals the UN acknowledgement the public has a right to know about governmental processes is an important step in their CYA procedure and gaining world control process. The UN doesn’t necessarily have to provide any information about anything to the citizen/public.

The UNODC Module Series on Anti-Corruption offers 14 Modules focusing on a range of core anti-corruption issues. This includes corruption’s varied definitions and devastating effects, responses to corruption, and linkages between corruption and different topics such as good governance, comparative politics, whistle-blowing, justice systems, human rights, gender, education, citizen participation, peace and security.

The Modules are designed for use by both academic institutions and professional academies across the world. They are built to help lecturers and trainers deliver anti-corruption education, including those who are not dedicated anti-corruption lecturers and trainers but would like to incorporate these components into their courses. Lecturers are encouraged to customize the Modules before integrating them into their classes and courses. The Modules include discussions of relevant issues, suggestions for class activities and exercises, recommended class structures, student assessments, reading lists (with an emphasis on open access materials), PowerPoint slides, video materials and other teaching tools. Each Module provides an outline for a three-hour class, as well as includes guidelines on how to develop it into a full course.

Their responses to inquiries range from the inane…

…to the insane

https://uncaccoalition.org/uncac-review/access-to-information-campaign/ it’s the world’s only binding anti-corruption mechanism. It’s lead topic?

What is this campaign about?

The UNCAC Coalition invites civil society organizations from around the world to join a campaign that asks national governments to release key documents and information about what they have done to implement the provisions of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC).

Where, if you hit the Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) link, you will learn the UN’s three (3) main goals:

  • to promote and strengthen measures to prevent and combat corruption more efficiently and effectively;
  • to promote, facilitate and support international cooperation and technical assistance in the prevention of and fight against corruption, including in asset recovery;
  • to promote integrity, accountability and proper management of public affairs and public property.

If you’re not old enough to remember the Nineties and the Clinton war on Kosovo   here’s a review to help clarify the UN dream from https://www.deepcapture.com/wp-content/uploads/Kosovo-Liberation-Army-History-Commons.pdf

Morton Abramowitz writes a column in the Wall Street Journal calling for a drastic change in US policy toward Kosovo. Abramowitz is highly influential with the US foreign policy elite (see 1991-1997). He argues that the US should support full independence for Kosovo and outlines options the US should consider including bombing Serbia, removing Milosevic, arming and training the KLA, and turning Kosovo into a NATO protectorate through the use of ground forces.

Implementation Models – Synthesis of Findings

What is the the relationship between the UN and NATO?

From https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50321.htm

NATO’s North Atlantic Treaty operates within the framework of the United Nations Charter – including Article 51, which establishes the inherent right of individual or collective defence of all UN member countries… 

How easy was that? It doesn’t look like any reliable public oversight was included beforehand.

September 2008 the Secretaries General of both NATO and the United Nations (UN) agreed to establish a framework for expanded consultation and cooperation…

Expanded cooperation? When and how does that end?

NATO’s Secretary General reports regularly to the UN Secretary-General on progress in UN-mandated NATO-led operations and on other key decisions of the North Atlantic Council, including in the area of crisis management and in the fight against terrorism.

United Nations Resolution 1244 – UNMIK

https://unmik.unmissions.org/united-nations-resolution-1244

S/RES/1244 (1999)10 June 1999 RESOLUTION 1244 (1999) Adopted by the Security Council at its 4011th meeting, on 10 June 1999 The Security Council, Bearing in mind the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and the primary responsibility of the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security, Recalling its resolutions 1160 (1998) of 31 March 1998 …

According to the last upgrade of https://www.nato.int/cps/on/natohq/topics_48818.htm (10 Feb 2025 12:47) that included this list as KFOR’s initial tasks assigned more than 20 (twenty) years ago

  • assistance with the return or relocation of displaced persons and refugees;
  • reconstruction and de-mining;
  • medical assistance;
  • security and public order;
  • protection of patrimonial sites;
  • border security;
  • interdiction of cross-border weapons smuggling;
  • implementation of a Kosovo-wide weapons, ammunition and explosives amnesty programme;
  • weapons destruction; and
  • support for the establishment of civilian institutions, law and order, the judicial and penal system, the electoral process and other aspects of the political, economic and social life of Kosovo.

After reading this Kosovo online article any rational person would conclude NATO has failed its mission in a catastrophic https://www.kosovo-online.com/en/news/kontext/role-kosovo-and-albanian-gangs-drug-trafficking-europe-23-6-2024 fashion.

… over 20 years ago, the US Department of Justice stated on its official website that 40 percent of the heroin trade is controlled by the Albanian mafia.

“The same report states that their success lies in the traditional loyalty among Albanians, combined with connections to other criminal organizations such as the Italian mafia. They also establish ties with other organizations, including those formed by migrant populations like Algerians and Moroccans. Belgian police statements note that the strength of these criminal organizations lies in their discipline and reliability. However, the Albanian mafia is no longer predominantly focused on heroin, which arrives in Europe from Afghanistan via Iran and Syria. According to public reports, they are establishing long-term connections with cocaine cartels from South America. One alarming report indicates that the Albanian mafia is expanding its presence in North Africa. This is particularly concerning because it means they are establishing control at the source of the threat to Europe,” Obradovic points out.

…”The Albanian mafia is said to control a significant part of the migrant route from North Africa through the Balkans to Western Europe, where it acts as a branch of Kurdish, Syrian, and Moroccan gangs. Italian and Albanian authorities undertake major operations every year to dismantle drug trafficking networks operating in coordination from these two countries, the primary bases of the Albanian mafia. Most of these operations involve international police cooperation resulting in arrests in Germany and the United Kingdom. Kosovo, as an area without the rule of law and basic state authority, represents one of the main points for the expansion of pan-European criminal syndicates, relying on the notorious association of ’15 families’ from northern Albania,” adds Darko Obradovic.

The big question about UN/NATO transparency is when does it start?

In 2008, NATO and the UN, because they had a working relationship for years as explained at https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50321.htm

signed a framework for expanded consultation and cooperation in September 2008. An updated Joint Declaration setting out plans for future cooperation between NATO and the UN was signed on 26 October 2018.

As for the U.S. state of transparency, the results of a search  for ‘U.S. government definition of transparency’ included undated https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/realitycheck/the_press_office/Transparency_and_Open_Government

https://www.coalitionforintegrity.org/what-we-do/fighting-corruption/beneficial-ownership-transparency/

And Obama at the close of his terms, relied on the UN to sound officious to the end.

https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2015/10/16/us-action-plan-implement-g-20-high-level-principles-beneficial-ownership

 …the United States commits to the following actions:

I. Publish National Risk Assessment: The United States published the U.S. national money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessments on June 12, 2015.  These comprehensive reviews of the money laundering and terrorist financing threats, vulnerabilities and risks to the United States incorporate relevant information sources in order to help stakeholders understand the money laundering and terrorist financing risks facing the U.S. financial system.

II. Advocate for Comprehensive Legislation: The United States will continue to advocate for legislation that requires the collection of beneficial ownership information for all legal entities formed in the United States and makes such information readily available to law enforcement for money laundering and terrorist financing investigations… 

Closing out the Transparency subject with state and local examples using Pennsylvania and Philadelphia .

Years ago, on a railroad trestle spanning a fairly busy Montgomery county (PA) road a message was painted on its east side in large, well spaced letters that read ‘Think Global Act Local’. A high school was just up the road a piece from that bridge. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people read that message every week; it might even still be there.

It’s a suburb of Philadelphia and Philadelphia, where Independence Hall is, just recently updated their https://www.phila.gov/open-records-policy/ It defines how Philadelphia’s transparency works:

The City of Philadelphia has adopted a policy to comply with the Commonwealth’s Act 3 of 2008, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101 et seq., commonly known as the Right-to-Know Law. With certain exceptions, members of the public have the right to inspect and/or copy public records upon written request.

Business day. Monday through Friday 8:30 AM through 4:30 PM, except those days when the City of Philadelphia, the main office of the Law Department, or the office, department, board, or commission to which a request is submitted is closed. For the purpose of this Open Records Policy, City Agencies are closed when any of the following applies:

  1. The City, the Law Department, or the particular City Department, Board, Office, or Commission operates on an “essential services only” basis;
  2. The City, the main office of the Law Department, or the particular City Department, Board, Office, or Commission is closed for four or more hours during regular business hours; or
  3. The City, the main office of the Law Department, or the particular City Department, Board, Office, or Commission closes for any portion of regular business hours on an emergency basis.

In other words, as a citizen who needs an answer from the city on any given weekday, in Philadelphia, chances are you be SOL.

“Think Global Act Local” was one powerful and convincing warm and fuzzy.

Green New Deal’s Not So Great Grand Daddy

“And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.”  Luke 22:25 KJV

Euergetism  is the Greek word for benefactors used by the gentiles  during the Greco-Roman phenomenon in which the the rulers and the wealthy improved their reputations and power through acts of public generosity. The practice was often inspired by political self interest or led to ruthless taxation. Eventually leading to the subjugation of those allegedly helped.

 

Any family resemblance between the Green New Deal and the Green Revolution is not acknowledged  and the similarities are ignored, a shunning as only the guilty are capable of maintaining; but like the disowned bad girl tossed out  of the family maybe they just sometimes have to stretch the bounds of the non-disclosure on occasion to make people wonder about the possibilities of  the past.

Euergetism, Europe, Euro… probably just a coincidence, huh?

I have no idea why the March 20 article by Daniel Horowitz in https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/gop-sellouts-fight-to-keep-bidens-green-new-deal-cash-flowing?  traveled the busy avenue of misinformation but for me it brought to mind the origins of the Green Revolution again. I’ll address the connection this post’s title infers to after the fog is cleared.

But first, you remember  Senora Cortez’s  entry into big time politics when she included a plank she called the Green New Deal? Catchy but UNlikely one she dreamed up by herself.

From   https://www.ocasiocortez.com/green-new-deal

What is the Green New Deal?
The Green New Deal is a jobs and justice-centered plan to decarbonize the U.S. economy within ten years. It is one of the only plans put forward which is actually in line with scientific consensus and the United Nations’ IPCC Report. The Green New Deal also focuses on creating the maximum amount of prosperity for working people and marginalized communities in the process.

Not one mention of Biden anywhere on that website.  It appears someone was using Cortez to explore a new angle on an old discovery.  I wouldn’t say she’s the one who re-birthed  the phrase; More like a mid-wife. Or a mid-wife’s gofer.

A critical link to this story:

The next Green New Deal effort offered some evidence of that gofer role when a senior senator lends weight to the deal  https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/markey-and-ocasio-cortez-reintroduce-green-new-deal-resolution.   It also had the support of the UNusual left:

 Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, Care in Action, Center for Popular Democracy, Citizen Action of Wisconsin, Climate Action, Corazon Latino, Cuyama Lamb LLC, Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action, FracTracker Alliance, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, Green New Deal Network, Greenpeace USA, Justice Democrats, League of Conservation Voters, MADRE, Marked By Covid, Mid-Ohio Valley, Milwaukee Riverkeeper, National Domestic Workers Alliance, NY Renews Coalition, People’s Action, Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, Right to the City Alliance, Rachel Carson Council, Sierra Club, Sunrise Movement, Sunflower Alliance, The Black Hive @ M4BL, United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE), United We Dream, US High Speed Rail Association, WildEarth Guardians, WV New Jobs Coalition, Zero Hour, 350 Hawaii, and 350.org.

Still no mention of  Biden anywhere on that website.

Neither was blazedotcom  breaking any new story; it wasn’t until I started looking for the UNmentioned republicans that I came across  https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4815990-mike-johnson-ira-clean-energy-tax-credits/  an 08/07/24 version of the story that not only named the targeted bill, it named all but three of the (at that time) recalcitrant republicans…

In addition to Garbarino, the letter was signed by GOP Reps. David Valadao (Calif.), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.), Marc Molinaro (N.Y.), Erin Houchin (Ind.), Anthony D’Esposito (N.Y.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Nick LaLota (N.Y.), Young Kim (Calif.), Jen Kiggans (Va.), John Curtis (Utah), Don Bacon (Neb.), Tom Kean Jr. (N.J.), Dave Joyce (Ohio), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (Iowa), Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.), Mark Amodei (Nev.) and Buddy Carter (Ga.).

That Mike Lawler , the Congressional representative of Pocantico Hills was amongst them, serves as the congressional lynch pin to the modern chapter of the veiled but still ugly step-child of the Rockefeller foundation story; and why would I be bringing up the Rockefeller foundation again?

More Than A 1st Amendment Matter

…or an indication of what to expect as the  result of government largesse, unintentionally bestowed as so often happens,</sarc> by the passage of such harmless political go along to get some long green as this action  https://www.congress.gov/101/statute/STATUTE-104/STATUTE-104-Pg130.pdf  that proclaimed Education and Sharing Day, a basis that might actually contribute to our transformation via  a  salami slicing strategy into a vassal state of Israel.

Or it could just be another indicator of results of Democrats denying the mention of God in their platform at their National Convention.

Whatever the reason behind this, I didn’t expect this message from Idaho

“NO CHRISTIANS IN COMMAND”

 

 

 

Dear Friend,

“NO CHRISTIANS IN COMMAND”

This was the core policy that led to Major David Worley being removed from command. The policy was created by the Idaho National Guard, and signed off by Governor Brad Little.

What led to this hatefulanti-Christian policy here in Idaho?

While campaigning outside of his official military duties, Maj. Worley, a long-time resident of Pocatello, decided to give back by running for mayor. While campaigning, he expressed opposition to “Drag Queen Story Hour,” pornographic material in libraries, and medical mutilation of gender-confused children.

Despite being a state where all of these are now essentially banned, Gov. Little still found these positions too “extreme,” and had him removed. Now, in conjunction with the Liberty Counsel, Maj. David Worley is fighting back on behalf of all Christian Idahoans against those that violated his religious freedom.

Come join us this Thursday, from noon to 1 PM at the Idaho State Capitol to hear about his story, and what we can all do to stand up for our own First Amendment rights!

Be sure to reply to this email to let us know you’ll be there!

Can’t make it? Join the livestream HERE!

Be sure to tell everyone you know, and we hope to see you there!

In liberty, with firm reliance on our Creator,

Ronald M. Nate, PhD

President

Idaho Freedom Foundation

 

There’s no accounting for a  politician’s decision but after Governor Little took such a strong stance on border security, this action proves that all politicians require constant watching.

You can join the live stream from the Idaho link above the

message if you have any interest in this turn of events.

USAID Taken Down?

It sure looks like it.

From     https://www.npr.org/sections/goats-and-soda/2025/02/02/g-s1-46007/usaid-web-site-trump-state-department

It’s been a tumultuous weekend for USAID — the U.S. Agency for International Development. On Saturday sometime after 3 a.m., its website went down, according to the Internet Archive, a nonprofit group that tracks web pages.

Some browsers display the error message: “This site can’t be reached. Check if there is a typo in www.usaid.gov.”

The agency’s account on X (formerly Twitter) has also been deleted.

Early Monday morning, Elon Musk, speaking during a live “Space” conversation on X, said his Department of Government Efficiency is in the process of “shutting down USAID.”

On Sunday, Musk wrote on X that USAID is a “criminal organization.”

“It needs to die,” he wrote. AP reported that workers at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were denied access to confidential documents at USAID on Saturday and that the Trump Administration subsequently put on leave the two USAID security officials who refused to grant access.

A Well-Established Vetting Problem

USAID has long struggled to ensure taxpayer cash goes to its intended use. A 2024 inspector general report, for example, found that the agency had issues combating “corruption, abuse, and fraud.”

“One of USAID’s foremost challenges is ensuring U.S. taxpayer funds are used effectively, efficiently, and for their intended purposes,” the report said. “However, corruption, fraud, and sexual exploitation and abuse undermine the effectiveness of aid, erode public trust, and impede sustainable development.”

The agency also came under fire last year for failing to “prevent the diversion of assistance to Hamas and other terrorist organizations,” according to the report. In one case, a Syrian national diverted $9 million in USAID funds to an affiliate of the al Qaeda terror group.

Whatever Is Needed…

 

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/01/27/here-are-all-units-now-deployed-border-trumps-immigration-crackdown.html?

…The Air Force — with a major assist from the Coast Guard — was also playing a role in the border operation, with C-17 Globemaster III and C-130 Hercules aircraft participating in repatriation flights, meaning they are flying undocumented migrants back to their countries of origin. However, the Air Force has declined to specify which units are involved, unlike the other services….

…Some of those military flights were initially rejected by other countries. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro decried the military efforts in a social media post on Sunday, but caved to Trump’s demands shortly afterward.

“A migrant is not a criminal and must be treated with the dignity that a human being deserves,” Petro wrote on X. “That’s why I turned back the U.S. military planes that were carrying Colombian migrants.”

It’s complicated when democrats rule US https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/2024/08/29/key-figure-in-hezbollah-linked-family-charged-in-colombia-with-financing-militant-group/

Trump threatened Colombia with tariffs if it didn’t accept the flights. A White House press statement on Sunday said Petro agreed to the military flights “without limitation or delay” following those threats.

Realistically? Retaining and maintaining order is not that complicated when our Government does not serve at every whim of the out of control oligarchical minded elites

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard began flying detained migrants “of various nationalities” to Laredo, Texas, and San Diego on Jan. 25 for deportation.

Take nothing for granted. Pray for the USA.
