Desperate Dems deploy dirty tricks brigade to save USAID, but it's too late; Trump handily negotiates tariff deals; Missouri closes in on China judgment; softball Gates interview teases list; more.
That was a fun read. Seeing all the fired Fed workers who are suddenly wondering how to look for a job. They made fun of coal miners losing their jobs 'learn to code'.
Now it's their turn! Maybe they can pick crops now that the illegals are getting booted as well.
Maybe those "International Development" types should go visit the countries they were "developing" and get their tender uncalloused hands dirty...go build housing, dig wells, help with innovative farming methods...it might just change their lives for the better!
Alternately they could do and hand out cookies at the color revolutions they are funding. Make sure they get the memo for when the snipers start firing in to the crowd thoughβ¦.wouldnt want anyone important to get injured.
Thing is, a few exceptions aside (unfortunate collateral damage when overhauling) is that most honest government workers in essential services and these parts of government are going to be just fine. They might be scared, but they're not the target. Right now, though, it's pretty obvious they are outnumbered by leeches.
Just as our super-sized governor Pritzker said the J6 folks are ineligible for IL gov jobs. I canβt imagine any of them seeking gov jobs in this state anyway.
How many plan to lay low and get their jobs back with a new and improved administration? If fired, are they eligible to seek employment in government jobs?
There is nothing quite so sweet as turning their own rhetoric against them. βThe innocent have nothing to hideβ. So then letβs swing those server door WIDE OPEN and let the sun shine in. Iβm told itβs a great disinfectant as well!
Seriously thoughβ¦I cannot (ok I can) believe they fell for it. Cut off the funding and follow the noiseβ¦. The squeaky wheels are wanting for the oil, or in this case terrified not only of getting cut off but of being implicated in corruption. Let the hearings commenceβ¦.
As nefarious USAID programs are exposed, Politicians and Media publicly defending USAID, should become targets of DOJ Investigations. Theft of American Taxpayer Funds, to the tune hundreds of Billions of Dollars, is unforgivable.
I want a refund of all my STOLEN and subsequently laundered money. Should the states file class action suits against USAID for theft, embezzlement and tax fraud?
WHY doesnβt anyone hold these fraud agencies accountable for what theyβve been doing?
Tβwould be a sight to behold. Please to note that the BlueTeam congress critters have no other real options but to throw their bodies in the way. Thus the βmedia eventβ in front of the locked USAID doors. They ought to be careful with the tossing about of βcongressional oversightβ though, they might not like what they get. If it sees the light of day in any court, they may themselves be the subject of large swaths of DISCOVERY. Careful what you wish for crittersβ¦.its bad enough that you are broadcasting the fact that you had your hands in the cookie jar.
Hmm. do citizens have standing, since it is our money they hold? If I am harmed in any way due to underfunding of infrastructure (USAID funds could've been used for the infrastructure) perhaps a class action suit could be had?
Imagine if white liberal women (and women without penises) became enraged about their tax dollars being stolen and used to fund pro life groups and pro marriage programs and pediatric mental health counseling instead of bodily mutilation and anti vaccine efforts π€―ππ
The media would be setting themselves on fire with rage.
Now that DOGE has the skinny on all the NGOs funded by USAID and other parts of the government, I suspect that the new FBI will be making courtesy calls on the organizations checking to make sure that the grants were spent in the ways applied for. Obviously buying expensive SUVs for your top people to use for studying the pressing question of the green frogβs mating habits might raise some eyebrows. The potential crime in all these cases is defrauding the US Government; conviction of which can not only involve a stint in jail but also financial clawback.
Some of these NGOs have undoubtedly made significant contributions to political candidates. So the New Justice Department will undoubtedly be busy. The juicy part of all this is that it will be a popular cause satisfying Trumps desire to retaliate in a way that is not going after βold enemiesβ.
How many regular citizens knew anything about the USAID? I myself was poorly informed. Who knew that THIS was the heart of the money laundering used by the deep state for all the globalist agendas including the color revolutions, not to mention the funneling of funds to the marxist blue NGO's. The takedown of this agency was absolutely necessary.
AnitaβThank you for the link to Mike Benz and Bannon. I admit to having had to google USAID to even know where to begin to understand what it is and why it is. Now, having listened to Mike Benz, I am dumbfounded at the depth of corruption of our government. May God have mercy on us. What our government owes the world for the chaos it has sown for decades cannot be measured. I fear we have seen Leviathon, and it is us.
This is so puzzling to me. There have been "a number" of people and sources and even legislators who have call out USAID to be corrupt and de-funded. Mike Benz, MTG, etc, etc. It has been a well known secret that it is the slush fund for the CIA. But somehow with Trump and Elon getting access, the tipping point has been crossed and can't be uncrossed. This, to me, is just like knowing that the shots are killing many people, that vaccines are significantly harming our kids, that the medical industrial complex is not working to cure or prevent any disease. These are "well known" now, but some tipping point has yet to be crossed.
I don't think that's it, because there are still "common folk" who think USAID was completely charitable, despite the evidence. I think the tipping point happens when the entity that is benefitting from the fraud can no longer benefit - when the tap is turned off, and they can no longer receive profit. If they can't get the money from the con, the con will cease, (and likely morph).
Yes, for many, NIH and USAID's actions are unbelievable revelations - similar to children's experience of finding out that their parents have sex. Just too too shocking!
The disclosure of the specifics will be appalling... but not nearly as much as the specifics on the TREASURY'S corrupt/criminal spending or taxpayer $$$!!
My Ultra Dhimmicrat mother was gnashing her teeth about this yesterday...she thinks that USAID was all about delivering tons of millet-in-a-bag to the hungry Turd World ... After all, she saw the photos! π
It is really a shame. Sooooo many folks, good well meaning, folks want to believe in their government, project their good beliefs upon the organization that runs the world upon their behalf.
My sister has been involved with the Peace Corps and similar agencies run by other governments for 40 years. I haven't spoken to her about this, but I know she's a loyal NYT reader, so she's probably apoplectic over all of this.
Well, that IS what we've been told. For decades I suppose I have heard of USAID, having been somewhat interested in international health and community development. What I didn't know was how it was ultimately a means of subterfuge and manipulation a la the use of our own public health for development here. Mostly develops chronic disease in the population and well-lined pockets for the perpetrators. All unbeknownst to the well-meaning middle men called community developers, nurses and doctors, and the like.
Dave, your comment makes me think if Elon. His son who was transitioned to a girlβ¦. and Elon says he was completely duped and thought his son would be suicidal. I think on - what you (or Satan) meant for evil God meant for good. I believe that God is using that tragic occurrence to completely turn Elon. Now he is a huge fighter against trafficking and LGBT indoctrination and waste. What if the USAID being dismantled is also related to trafficking? God indeed will use evil for good. Now let Elon be saved.
Lisa, you make a discerning point. Consider that is precisely why Jesus taught us to not resist evil. Because one never knows how things will turn out.
this reminds me of the revelations about government censorship which were way beyond what and American could believe - now comes DOGE to reveal the enormous graft that is simply staggering - so let's hope some permanent checks are put in place to never have that repeated
When I would pray, all I could say was βFather, you know where the Leviathan lives. YOU and YOU alone can expose them. There is no way that one man can do this. We ask that you send helpers, that you would give Wisdom and Understanding to the President and his Administration! It appears that we are outnumbered, Father!!! Please help us.
We know we are overdue for judgement for more than one thingβ¦β¦but especially for the murders of our own future citizensβ¦..the innocent babies. Please forgive our nation and heal our land!!! In your Judgement, please sirβ¦β¦remember Mercy.β
We were all basically praying the same prayer, I believe.
And we won a reprieve.
I believe that Judgement and Mercy are two sides of the same coin. Some will receive mercy,because they cried out.
Some will receive judgement, because they refused.
CStone - Yes, that was my prayer for the last few years, judgment with mercy. Many of our people have cried for an end to the evil, and forgiveness of our collective sins. With the outcome of this election my response was "we have been given a reprieve from judgment", praise YHWH.
Being outnumbered: I just finished reading about Gideon in Judges. God culled Gideonβs army from thousands to 300 to show Gideon that He, God, is powerful and is enough.
I had never heard of it and admittedly Googled it after all the headlines. This was probably on purpose. Hide the criminal activity in plain sight, where no one pays attention. The next question we need to ask is how the CIA is involved with USAID?
Why would all parties, not just the Woke, want to invest in wokeness? Access.
Mike Benz speaking to Glenn Greenwald:
More from Mike Benz:
"I think you have tactical wokeness in service of statecraft." This is an important exchange I had with @ggreenwald tonight on USAID. I went over Wokeness vs Blobness, and why **the Republican** wing of NED funds transgender dance festivals, ethnic identity events and rap groups"
Sounds a lot like certain political parties in OUR country?
Benz even suggests Trump MIGHT find a way to use aid for minority and ethnic identity events to forward OUR purposes, to "play hardball." I don't think much of this idea.
Isn't this how we got all the psyops here dividing people who weren't divided? -- "Racial animosities inflamed" to "angry up" (ex. summer protests in Cuba) for "ethnic balkanization"... "capacity building," "funding the fusion of networks, instrumentalized by the State Dept, and by extension the State Dept and NED"
but finishes with "it IS wasteful spending" (as Elon is saying) to not use the money for America, rather than for foreign meddling.
----
Shouldn't organic political groups be doing this on their own dollars?!
Instead of programming and psyoping hearts and minds, shouldn't we ACTUALLY win hearts and minds through truth and common sense, winning for humanity's sake?
Yes, indeed! I've been reading Bad Cattitude for quite a while now and started off liking his articles and analyses a lot. As time goes on I'm liking them more and more. I normally don't care for cutesy cat stuff but I gladly make an exception here.
I should have been more complete with my mention of the cat stuff. El Gato Malo's cat images are wonderful. I love them! He's very skilled. But I read his Substack for the words and the images are a distraction from them.
p.s. I *am* a cat person. We have two, an all black one named Dixie and a tuxedo named Killer. Both long hairs.
Both are girls. Name source goes like this: black/white β orca β killer whale β killer. She's very sweet. The other one, also very sweet, is all black and her name Dixie is just a little thumb in the eye to anyone who objects to any reference to the South that isn't completely damning. That she's Black is just a little twist to that thumb!
p.s. My first choice for Killer was Squad Car but my wife vetoed that one.
Thank you for the head's up! For some reason I am not getting those email notifications. I already have too many substacks to read every day but the cat IS one I do try to read faithfully. Not sure what is up with Substack's notification system, seems like there are some issues there, they also sometimes skip my C&C emails but I just go to my bookmark if there is no email by 9 AM or so.
I had the same issue with notifications for C&C a while back. Switched my notification email from gmail to proton and problem solved. Not sure if google was doing something untoward or not, just sayin'.
well I use yahoo mail for stuff like that, although not sure they are not just as bad as google. I could use my biz email as it is hosted by secure servers and not on the public cloud, but try to keep personal and biz stuff separate.
I had the same issues right after becoming a subscriber. I emailed C&C and they told me the fix. It took a few times, but it worked. They noted that they believe there may be something questionable happening.
I often say that anything can be used for good or evil. Fire, for exampleβit can cook your food and warm you, but it can also burn your house down or kill you. I think technology is the same. And as we know, God can use anything and everything for good! π

To counteract the fast moving, good news of the dismantling of the DC swamp, I am reading a book written about an Amish community in western PA. Fascinating as the author explains to outsiders the reasons for many of the Amish customs. Explained in the vein of their closeness to God, then family, and community, it is such an enlightening book of how far off the rails we have gone. Such a nice counterpoint to all of this βwinningβ, we are seeing. For them itβs never about that. I think they are the winners.
I donβt recall calling them saints. I was recounting what I was reading from the author who lives among the community of Amish. I have no reason to doubt what she is telling me about the Amish she knows.
The Amish are spread pretty much all over the US. They have different sects and orders, but to label them as having a dark side is off the mark. Yes, they are sinners, we all are. But to label them somehow sinister, I think is wrong.
It might be more helpful to just retype or copy and paste the title. Sometimes itβs very hard to get back to or find part of a comment thread in Substack π
Hahaha π I had an internship in college with USAID, and although it sounded great on paper, I canβt recall one useful or productive thing they had me do except to go through some old handbooks and get rid of them.
"In college in late 2009 she airdropped into Niger in the middle of a giant civil war just months before what appears to be a US-backed military coup in early 2010 launched against the sitting gov't the West had condemned & was cutting aid to"
Also a thread on Liz Chaney was promoted through USAID.
and:
"Obama's mother worked for USAID, then the CIA adjacent Ford Foundation, and the Asia Development Bank and is credited with pioneering micro loans in Indonesia"
and "Someone from AOC's program became USAID's Niger Mission Director (Country Representative, USAID's version of Ambassador), noting it was "instrumental in shaping our careers." Now he's at USAID's Democracy Rights & Governance (DRG) office, which today is USAID's censorship center"
Thank you for calling Elonβs team βsix young men.β Iβm unreasonably bothered by the news and people on X calling them βElonβs team of autistsβ. Is there any proof that theyβre all autistic? I havenβt seen it if so. Maybe some are, but some are just that smart.
Thereβs nothing wrong with being an autistic genius, of course, look at Elon himself. But if these young guys arenβt autistic, using that word feels pejorative. Is it just me?
I think you might be overreacting a bit. In right-wing internet parlance "autist" has really just come to mean someone with singular focus, high intelligence, and intense drive. It's not in any way a negative and is meant in a strange, complementary fashion. I don't think these guys are offended.
It's unfortunate as there people severely affected with autism and low functioning, and the term autist minimizes their condition to some extent. Its similar to how retard now just means a stupid person rather than someone genuinely retarded. But it is what it is.
This may be true (and it is now sort of respected to be an "autist"), but having a son with Asperger's (so very high functioning), I can tell you it is still a big cross for some to bear.
Understand as I have a family member in a similar position. In my experience though, true autism is characterized by the utter inability to view things from another's perspective (i.e. the hallmark lack of empathy which I have seen first hand far too often. It is extremely unpleasant). But many positive character traits that people now call "autistic" are simply those of driven, successful people of past ages.
Bottom line IMO, is that we've got to pick our battles, not everything is an outrage. The fact that people now view certain positive character traits (intelligence, focused, accomplished, driven) as "autist" doesn't seem like such a bad thing. Plus there's nothing we can do about it anyways.
As the saying goes, "If you've met one autist, then you've met one autist." There's a reason that people talk about the "autism spectrum" - it can manifest in so many different ways.
In my own case, it manifests itself by giving me an unrivaled intuitive understanding of new concepts while robbing me of any kind of intuitive understanding of people. Over the years, I've learned to "mask" my social disability pretty well, and any time I tell someone that I'm an autist I'm usually met with "Really? I never would have known!" But they don't understand the constant, exhausting conscious mental effort I have to go through in order to have a "normal" conversation, and I don't know that I'll ever get over the paralysis I feel when I'm in a crowded room with ever-shifting groups of people (despite decades of effort, I _still_ don't understand the "rules" of how those work).
I'm certainly not "outraged" when people misunderstand autism, but I do try to educate people about it. The way our culture tends to look at it, autism usually means "crazy smart and not able to function in society." For the vast majority of us who are able to successfully mask, we're usually met with "Oh, you're obviously not _really_ autistic, and you just need to try harder!" - which is pretty frustrating. If our culture moves towards "autism is a superpower," then that'll make our lives even harder.
The left considers those traits you listed as βracistβ. The left apparently do esvnot consider Judge Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell as βblackβ.
They canβt even define βblackβ anyway. Or maybe their definition is βpeople with a certain skin color who think the way they are told to think.β
Thanks for the info. Iβve never heard the term autist used in those terms, which are complimentary. In fact, in trying to look up what βautistβ actually means yesterday, there is no definition anywhere.
I was wondering why Elon had sofa beds delivered to, what was itβ¦.? The Eighth Floor of the OPMβ¦β¦.Office of Personnel Management.
I just realized the reason for thatβ¦.The President and Elon knew that those young men would be in danger. And after seeing the hatred displayed by the democRATS, and how frantic they are, we need to add this team and their families to our prayer list.
I think the sleeper sofas were also to accommodate the work style of the crew. Some with the power to focus so intently on the task at hand lose track of time and work to exhaustion. They would certainly not fit the DC mopes model.
The first people I thought of were the characters on the Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon. Brilliant, social misfits who actually had empathy. Nothing wrong with that!
If it's Dems using "autists" as an epithet, then we no longer need EVER hold Dems in ANY KIND OF ESTEEM. They pretend to care about the "disadvantaged" and "handicapped" and then use "autist" as an INSULT?!? This is what their "intersectionality" is worth?!?
Right. Thereβs absolutely nothing wrong with being autistic, Iβm sure we all know some/many that are amazing. I know I do. And like I saidβ¦ Elon. But itβs just about calling someone something theyβre notβ¦ itβs distasteful.
Itβs the same thing as Trump and others referring to the Blackhawk pilot as a DEI hire with no evidence, immediately after her name was released. Women often make excellent pilots, so I didnβt like that one either.
If it turns out to be true, then say it. Otherwise, use a different term.
I am pretty sure I heard Trump make a more general comment that "DEI may be an issue" or something similar, but I don't remember it as being directed at any of the pilots.
I agree with you, Valerie. I was also gratified to see that Jeff had the class and integrity to describe them as extraordinary. And as far as Wired describing them as autists, I would just say to Wired, "You mean like The Accountant?"
I was! One of my favorite movies. And I hope they do to USAID exactly what the character, Christian, played by Ben Affleck, did for that company in the movie, Living Robotics.
I donβt find it offensive either, but no one likes the idea of being referred to as something theyβre not. Imagine being 35 and someone referring to you as βthat older person, works in the corner office.β Youβd be like βolder? Rude.β
I look at it as this is just another example of mainstream media and leftists categorizing someone whether that person actually fits in that category or not.
Interesting. Imagine them auditing the records, data, and processes of a Federal agency, but with Neuralink assistance to tap AI power to parse this information faster than a disconnected person could.
Aspbergerβs Syndrome was nastily and jealously included under autism, an Aspberger is above 100 IQ who can tune out irrelevant background and tunnel deep into complex problems and solve them. Itβs the absent minded professor who is a smart man and he has a talent of ignoring irrelevant encroachments.
By the way, the English language is not gendered, and mankind always includes womankind. And when speaking generally, man always includes woman.
If they are on the spectrum, as Elon is, that is even more concerning. Such people, in my experience, are easily deceived. And they do not think like the rest of us. Even more concerning to me.
It seems obvious by the gross theft of our tax money, that we wouldnβt need taxes or most definitely at the rates we are paying once they get rid of all the waste! Ehemβ¦.waste isnβt even the correct word for what they have done. Blood money maybe? They didnβt waste it. They stole it and used it against us.
It seems by stopping the fraudulent and criminal use of someone elseβs moneyβ¦..those someones then get to KEEP their money!
Go Trump! Abolish the IRS! Do it! It will be an instant raise for every single one of us!
The politicians who are yelling the loudest about the USAID scam should have their accounts investigated to see how much money has been funneled to them! Wonder what might be found!
Yesβ¦how much of the missing $100 Billion money sent to Ukraine found its way right into some DC pockets??? Probably wasnβt even sent across the pond. This is disgusting.
Have you noticed a pause in your area by any chance? I wondered if people working in the weather modification field might already be affected by the spending freeze.
I have noticed in central Florida for a while it seemed lessβ¦.thought maybe something happened to stop it. Nope. I sit outside with a clear blue sky right now with them all over π π‘ π
I keep seeing people say the tax money needs to be spent better, or on Trumpβs political priorities. No! Send the money back to the taxpayer. Otherwise weβll have the same problem-misspent taxes and government greed and grift- but this time it will favor the politicians with an R. No thanks.
Yes, the ones who are there now might be responsible but we canβt guarantee it will last (in fact, given the amounts of money involved, you can pretty much guarantee the opposite!). Just dismantle the whole thing and keep the bare minimum. Iβm sure the freed up money will be used more effectively to solve problems!
Agreed. Iβd like someone to show who all these ngoβs are. Not just the name of the ngo but the people who own and run them. Who are the people walking off with all the money.
Who are the unnamed recipients that got 1.2 Billion. I bet Gates is burrowed in there someplace if Bill Krystol is feeding at the trough. Plus Miss Lindsey.
Isn't Lindsey coming around on Trump's cabinet appointees now after having raised an initial fuss? Makes me wonder who spoke to him and what they said...
You can search for individual charities and see how much US grant money it receives in total dollars and as a percentage of its total operating budget.

All in just one year, all tax-exempt, heavily using federal government grants from the US Treasury. And no one is watching....until President Trump thankfully paused all this last week in an executive order (it is still valid, the federal court did not stop it).
And this is JUST USAID (which is apparently small potatoes in terms of fraud and waste). Can you image what other agencies look like?? Bring on the sunlight and let's make everything public.
I'm looking forward to all that money being redirected back into the US. Help those who are affected by recent (manmade) disasters for a start, and pay down our illegitimate debt. I'm looking forward to a new day.

My autistic son got up and got dressed faster than he ever has today after I told him about these guys last night.
They bring hope and potential drive/purpose. That is worth its weight in Gold to any parent of neurodivergent. I just wish they would all eat their vegetables on camera.
If we died and found ourselves that what believe was a fantasy, most likely nothing will happen, but if we find that what was preached to me through the Scriptures or The Bible was real, oh boyβ¦ I donβt want to know what will happen beyond that point of no return!
I hope you get this message, itβs not difficult to understand!
When newly elected Obama said the United States was going to undergo a fundamental transformation he was right about that. But he was wrong about when it would occur and under which administration..
Sadly, he was right as well that much did happen under his regime. There _was_ a lot of transformation - more division, more hate, more taxes, more alphabet army. So much stuff forced on the US population that we just didn't have any real way to fight. Undoing much of that and more seems like a huge transformation, but it's more of a reset to where we should be. :/
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, βHe is the one who catches the wise in their craftinessβ; and again, βThe Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.β
βTo have a high opinion of our own wisdom, is but to flatter ourselves; and self-flattery is the next step to self-deceit. The wisdom that wordly men esteem, is foolishness with God. How justly does He despise, and how easily can He baffle and confound it! The thoughts of the wisest men in the world, have vanity, weakness, and folly in them. All this should teach us to be humble, and make us willing to be taught of God, so as not to be led away, by pretences to human wisdom and skill, from the simple truths revealed by Christ.β - Matthew Henry
Yes! As I wrote above, I am reading a book about an Amish group in western PA. The book was written by an outsider who lives among them. She explains so many of the βdifferentβ Amish customs have a real purpose in uniting their communities to the purpose of serving God. In keeping these simple ways of life, they keep God, family and community foremost. I could never likely live as they, but I am reminded just as when I read the Word, what is really important.
With Democrat politicians from Senate & House leading protest over the shutting down of USAID we should remember when you hear about anyone protesting the closure of USAID, if any politicians are concerned all they have to do is sponsor legislation to fund any projects USAID was funding, so shutting USAID down is really no big deal.
A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a SC state house rep and one thing we talked about was Lindsey Graham. This rep told me Lindsey has access to large amounts of cash and uses it to buy state politicians, feeding their corruption. I have no reason to doubt that and odds are much of that money came from USAID NGO's. Now that those USAID funds are blocked, this might be the time to hammer the bought politicians. When the funding stops at least some of them will reveal their inner weaknesses.
USAID gave $1.2 billion to undisclosed recipients. Iβve no doubt our young boy geniuses will disclose them in no timeβ¦letβs wager whoβs on the list? Iβll start: Graham, AOC, Schumer, Pelosi, Murkowski. I could go on and onβ¦
Speaking of Graham, something has happened to the usual suspect RINO malcontents in the Senate like Graham, Tom Tillis, and Markwayne Mullin. These guys could be counted on to disrupt any positive progress with obvious disingenuous talk about "principles". Yet now they aren't, Mullin even sounds like a Trumpster.
I suspect these guys are beyond-the-pale corrupt, probably even compromised. Team Trump then compiled dossiers on them, sat them down, showed them what they had on them, and let them now they will now be MAGA patsies or they will be exposed. There's just no other explanation that makes sense.
Yes that was covered by alt media at the time. Bill Clinton sold farm land to build a huge factory that would hire lots of Haitians, but no company invested in it.
Gosh I wish I had access to the articles. I mentioned yesterday how republicans didnβt investigate Hillary for her pay to play. Haiti would have been exposed. I just donβt understand why they didnβt.
Cleansing the Criminal Cartel Crooks out of their hive infesting our government(s) is something Americans of all political stripe will actually get behind and enjoy watching as it is exposed and prosecuted...sorry Hollyweird but we still like when the bad guys lose.
LOCAL Party organizations need to get tougher, get clean and sober, nominate Quality candidates, craft Populist Ballot Initiatives, scrutinize the hell out of Municipalities, Counties, Tax Districts, Boards and Non-Profits that ALL SOAK up the endless $$$$$ flow and then whine about "shortfalls"... RISE UP and BREAK the Corrupted Coll-abor(a)tion schemes to pieces and those defending them can be looked at closely as well and all exposed
All true but the biggest obstacle is the pride of people who want to be in charge. The Tea Party had about two weeks of success but then the egomaniacs, talk show host and politicians, made claims and the lazy followers went home thinking they just changed the world; and here we are 15 +/- years later.
βPride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall.β
Yes, masses hoping to win the Lottery is far different than working well and honestly in a career for decades. Laziness. Ego-showman types only look for the NEXT spectacle they can insert themselves into---NOT Leadership.

What the hell is happening with the confirmations of Kennedy, Patel and Gabbard? I thought Thune said he would hold the Senate in session during the weekends to get them confirmed. Is he already falling down on the job?
Wondering if that break was also to give the more stubborn RINOs a chance to have a good "talk" with the way things would play out if they didn't listen to their voters.....
Senator Bill Cassidy -Louisiana (R) is the possible hold out that could stall Kennedy to advance. He needs all 13 republicanβs to vote for him to be majority over the 12 democrats thatβs wonβt. He is hesitant over Kennedyβs vaccine stance. He is a doctor of course π€¦ββοΈ
My opinion is that Cassidy is giving his yes vote to Kennedy only by cutting the legs out from under Kennedyβs commitment to expose βthe scienceβ particularly about vaccines. Heβs made Kennedy promise to his (Cassidyβs) rules in order to gain his yes vote. Your opinions on this?
Senator Cassidy is fanatical about making RFK say the words, "safe and effective." It's weird. I know he is a physician and he told a story about treating a woman in end stage liver disease due to Hep B and how she could have been saved with a vaccine (there is SO much to say about that scenario, but I'll leave it for now) and he basically implied that RFK would be responsible of thousands more like that woman with his vaccine stance.
Doctors are the most brainwashed about vaccines. I have a family member who is a doctor and he believes everything heβs told by the medical mafia and discounts anything I say because Iβm not a doctor. Itβs a shame because heβs very smart and tries to help people, but he has a very narrow, allopathic view.
You should buy him "The Cancer Cure That Worked" by Berry Lyons that tells about how frequencies cure Cancer. Energy Density Frequency Medicine works even better.
America has missed out on sooooo much comedy gold these past four years. A true tragedy. I hope we have a new SNL rival soon to make fun of all the lunacy we have all been seeing
In βThe Creature from Jekyll Island,β G. Edward Griffin discusses how foreign aid creates a system of dependency that ββset[s] up conditions exactly opposite to those required for economic growthββ (heβs quoting Paul Roberts of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington). Basically, the same old socialist formula of control through perpetual dependency.
C&C Army, today, February 4, is a day of historic significance as it is the five-year anniversary of the EUA and PREP Act declarations that initiated the COVID war against humanity.
Debbie Lerman and Sasha Latypova compiled a document with detailed evidence showing COVID was a globally coordinated military and intelligence operationβnot a public health event:
Sasha and Debbie have asked that dissidents share this on every possible outlet today to raise awareness about this military operation against the public.

"All roads lead to Rome" or, in this case, the trail of treason and democide lead to the DoD/Intelligence Complex. If we let them divert the blame to China, then they win. DONβT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!!
Bear in mind, the democide is STILL on-going. The slow-kill bio-weapon is STILL on the market, even in FL and still being pushed by the USG, with newer versions coming to market and the slow-kill chemtrails are STILL being sprayed over the heads of our children.
When does it STOP? Everyone is concerned about the money. When are the very lives of our children going to matter?
Nanotechnological Poisons From Above - Swiss Research Team Reveals Geoengineering "Spider Filaments" Are Polyamide Nanofibers Delivering Highly Toxic Chemicals - We Are Inhaling Them

The final request of the group is the most important part. Clifford and I have been warning about an extinction level event due to the contamination of human blood. Every citizen must take this information to their politician, their police officers, their townhalls.

...The Covid Dossier is a compilation of the evidence we have amassed over the last three years supporting the following claim:
Covid was not a public health event, although it was presented as such to the worldβs population. It was a global operation, coordinated through public-private intelligence and military alliances and invoking laws designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons attacks...
...HOW IT STARTED: FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY
Exactly five years ago, on February 4th, 2020, two things happened that almost nobody knows about, but that played an important role in the course of recent world history:
1) Two declarations for CBRN (weapons of mass destruction) emergencies β EUA and PREP Act β made by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, were registered on this date...
...2) A pharmaceutical executive was caught on tape saying that the U.S. Department of Defense called to inform him βthat the newly discovered Sars-2 virus posed a national security threat.β ...

Now it's their turn! Maybe they can pick crops now that the illegals are getting booted as well.

Thing is, a few exceptions aside (unfortunate collateral damage when overhauling) is that most honest government workers in essential services and these parts of government are going to be just fine. They might be scared, but they're not the target. Right now, though, it's pretty obvious they are outnumbered by leeches.
Those at USAID and OMB should NEVER be eligible for another FEDERAL, State or local government jobs. EVER
Absolutely. Taking advantage of tax-payers should not be rewarded or reenabled.
Just as our super-sized governor Pritzker said the J6 folks are ineligible for IL gov jobs. I canβt imagine any of them seeking gov jobs in this state anyway.
How many plan to lay low and get their jobs back with a new and improved administration? If fired, are they eligible to seek employment in government jobs?

As nefarious USAID programs are exposed, Politicians and Media publicly defending USAID, should become targets of DOJ Investigations. Theft of American Taxpayer Funds, to the tune hundreds of Billions of Dollars, is unforgivable.
I want a refund of all my STOLEN and subsequently laundered money. Should the states file class action suits against USAID for theft, embezzlement and tax fraud?
WHY doesnβt anyone hold these fraud agencies accountable for what theyβve been doing?
They should all be investigated and prosecuted.

Now that DOGE has the skinny on all the NGOs funded by USAID and other parts of the government, I suspect that the new FBI will be making courtesy calls on the organizations checking to make sure that the grants were spent in the ways applied for. Obviously buying expensive SUVs for your top people to use for studying the pressing question of the green frogβs mating habits might raise some eyebrows. The potential crime in all these cases is defrauding the US Government; conviction of which can not only involve a stint in jail but also financial clawback.
Some of these NGOs have undoubtedly made significant contributions to political candidates. So the New Justice Department will undoubtedly be busy. The juicy part of all this is that it will be a popular cause satisfying Trumps desire to retaliate in a way that is not going after βold enemiesβ.
We need accountability.

How many regular citizens knew anything about the USAID? I myself was poorly informed.

The takedown of this agency was absolutely necessary.

Anita - thanks for those links to more confirmation.
AnitaβThank you for the link to Mike Benz and Bannon. I admit to having had to google USAID to even know where to begin to understand what it is and why it is. Now, having listened to Mike Benz, I am dumbfounded at the depth of corruption of our government. May God have mercy on us. What our government owes the world for the chaos it has sown for decades cannot be measured. I fear we have seen Leviathon, and it is us.
This is so puzzling to me. There have been "a number" of people and sources and even legislators who have call out USAID to be corrupt and de-funded. Mike Benz, MTG, etc, etc. It has been a well known secret that it is the slush fund for the CIA. But somehow with Trump and Elon getting access, the tipping point has been crossed and can't be uncrossed. This, to me, is just like knowing that the shots are killing many people, that vaccines are significantly harming our kids, that the medical industrial complex is not working to cure or prevent any disease. These are "well known" now, but some tipping point has yet to be crossed.
great analogy, dead on.
My guess: there is still significant resistance with the "common man" who simply cannot believe that vaccines cause harm. It may be just that simple.
I don't think that's it, because there are still "common folk" who think USAID was completely charitable, despite the evidence. I think the tipping point happens when the entity that is benefitting from the fraud can no longer benefit - when the tap is turned off, and they can no longer receive profit. If they can't get the money from the con, the con will cease, (and likely morph).
Most don't know what the letters actually stand for...they just see the AID letters at the end and assume it's all about help.
If RFK Jr is confirmed, you may see quite a few whistleblowers crawling out of the woodwork.
FDA & CDC whistleblowers with factual information may be your tipping point.
yes, and then we could actually claim that Trump via RFK, Jr was the tipping point.
That would be really Making America Great & Healthy Again-- MAGHA.
Yes, for many, NIH and USAID's actions are unbelievable revelations - similar to children's experience of finding out that their parents have sex. Just too too shocking!
Patience. RFK Jr. is not yet confirmed
When RFK Jr. gets in, I believe that will be the tipping point for HHS.
The disclosure of the specifics will be appalling... but not nearly as much as the specifics on the TREASURY'S corrupt/criminal spending or taxpayer $$$!!
My Ultra Dhimmicrat mother was gnashing her teeth about this yesterday...she thinks that USAID was all about delivering tons of millet-in-a-bag to the hungry Turd World ... After all, she saw the photos! π
It is really a shame. Sooooo many folks, good well meaning, folks want to believe in their government, project their good beliefs upon the organization that runs the world upon their behalf.
This fact, not being TRUE, is too much to accept.
My sister has been involved with the Peace Corps and similar agencies run by other governments for 40 years. I haven't spoken to her about this, but I know she's a loyal NYT reader, so she's probably apoplectic over all of this.
Well, that IS what we've been told. For decades I suppose I have heard of USAID, having been somewhat interested in international health and community development. What I didn't know was how it was ultimately a means of subterfuge and manipulation a la the use of our own public health for development here. Mostly develops chronic disease in the population and well-lined pockets for the perpetrators. All unbeknownst to the well-meaning middle men called community developers, nurses and doctors, and the like.
Donβt forget the 23000 NGOβs in Bosnia?
That is very sad
Dave, your comment makes me think if Elon. His son who was transitioned to a girlβ¦. and Elon says he was completely duped and thought his son would be suicidal. I think on - what you (or Satan) meant for evil God meant for good. I believe that God is using that tragic occurrence to completely turn Elon. Now he is a huge fighter against trafficking and LGBT indoctrination and waste. What if the USAID being dismantled is also related to trafficking? God indeed will use evil for good. Now let Elon be saved.
Ooh interesting point about it potentially being related to trafficking!!
Lisa, you make a discerning point. Consider that is precisely why Jesus taught us to not resist evil. Because one never knows how things will turn out.
this reminds me of the revelations about government censorship which were way beyond what and American could believe - now comes DOGE to reveal the enormous graft that is simply staggering - so let's hope some permanent checks are put in place to never have that repeated
Yes. Exactly.
Still would be hard to believe had we not experienced it ourselves.
More than that, the data centers out in the desert need to be blown to bits.
When I would pray, all I could say was βFather, you know where the Leviathan lives. YOU and YOU alone can expose them. There is no way that one man can do this. We ask that you send helpers, that you would give Wisdom and Understanding to the President and his Administration! It appears that we are outnumbered, Father!!! Please help us.
We know we are overdue for judgement for more than one thingβ¦β¦but especially for the murders of our own future citizensβ¦..the innocent babies. Please forgive our nation and heal our land!!! In your Judgement, please sirβ¦β¦remember Mercy.β
We were all basically praying the same prayer, I believe.
And we won a reprieve.
I believe that Judgement and Mercy are two sides of the same coin. Some will receive mercy,because they cried out.
Some will receive judgement, because they refused.
Thank you YHVH.
Thank you.
CStone - Yes, that was my prayer for the last few years, judgment with mercy. Many of our people have cried for an end to the evil, and forgiveness of our collective sins. With the outcome of this election my response was "we have been given a reprieve from judgment", praise YHWH.
Being outnumbered: I just finished reading about Gideon in Judges. God culled Gideonβs army from thousands to 300 to show Gideon that He, God, is powerful and is enough.
Stand firm. Hold fast. Our God is on the move!
I LOVE thus comment!!! What a perfect prayer and such great insight about mercy and judgment!!
Yes. We once just trusted these people and they knew it. Yikes. That alone is a terrifying thought, now.

I had never heard of it and admittedly Googled it after all the headlines. This was probably on purpose. Hide the criminal activity in plain sight, where no one pays attention. The next question we need to ask is how the CIA is involved with USAID?
I had never heard of it until last week!
I'm actually concerned that USAID is only one of many, many similar schemes within the government coffers. Let the unravelling continue.

----
Sounds a lot like certain political parties in OUR country?
Benz even suggests Trump MIGHT find a way to use aid for minority and ethnic identity events to forward OUR purposes, to "play hardball." I don't think much of this idea.
Isn't this how we got all the psyops here dividing people who weren't divided? -- "Racial animosities inflamed" to "angry up" (ex. summer protests in Cuba) for "ethnic balkanization"... "capacity building," "funding the fusion of networks, instrumentalized by the State Dept, and by extension the State Dept and NED"
but finishes with "it IS wasteful spending" (as Elon is saying) to not use the money for America, rather than for foreign meddling.

Shouldn't organic political groups be doing this on their own dollars?!
Instead of programming and psyoping hearts and minds, shouldn't we ACTUALLY win hearts and minds through truth and common sense, winning for humanity's sake?

I should have been more complete with my mention of the cat stuff. El Gato Malo's cat images are wonderful. I love them! He's very skilled. But I read his Substack for the words and the images are a distraction from them.
p.s. I *am* a cat person. We have two, an all black one named Dixie and a tuxedo named Killer. Both long hairs.
is the male(tuxedo?) nicer, so to speak, than the female?
Both are girls. Name source goes like this: black/white β orca β killer whale β killer. She's very sweet. The other one, also very sweet, is all black and her name Dixie is just a little thumb in the eye to anyone who objects to any reference to the South that isn't completely damning. That she's Black is just a little twist to that thumb!
p.s. My first choice for Killer was Squad Car but my wife vetoed that one.

Not sure what is up with Substack's notification system, seems like there are some issues there, they also sometimes skip my C&C emails but I just go to my bookmark if there is no email by 9 AM or so.
I had the same issue with notifications for C&C a while back. Switched my notification email from gmail to proton and problem solved. Not sure if google was doing something untoward or not, just sayin'.
well I use yahoo mail for stuff like that, although not sure they are not just as bad as google. I could use my biz email as it is hosted by secure servers and not on the public cloud, but try to keep personal and biz stuff separate.
I had the same issues right after becoming a subscriber. I emailed C&C and they told me the fix. It took a few times, but it worked. They noted that they believe there may be something questionable happening.

To counteract the fast moving, good news of the dismantling of the DC swamp, I am reading a book written about an Amish community in western PA. Fascinating as the author explains to outsiders the reasons for many of the Amish customs. Explained in the vein of their closeness to God, then family, and community, it is such an enlightening book of how far off the rails we have gone. Such a nice counterpoint to all of this βwinningβ, we are seeing. For them itβs never about that. I think they are the winners.
I always tell my family member who is politically oriented that I have no interest in politics because it has made the world one giant argument.
Lately, at least itβs been kind of an amusing argument since the coolest president in my lifetime is in office
"Explained in the vein of their closeness to God, then family, and community,..."
Similar to the hierarchy of charity JD Vance was talking about this past weekend.
Will you share the title of the book?
The title of the book is βInside the Simple Life: Finding Inspiration among the Amishβ, by Susan Hougelman.
I bought the book online from an Amish online shop, she runs selling Amish made products from her community.
They also have a dark side, like all human beings. Believe me, they are not all saints.
I donβt recall calling them saints. I was recounting what I was reading from the author who lives among the community of Amish. I have no reason to doubt what she is telling me about the Amish she knows.
The Amish are spread pretty much all over the US. They have different sects and orders, but to label them as having a dark side is off the mark. Yes, they are sinners, we all are. But to label them somehow sinister, I think is wrong.
Dark side = sinner. Same thing.
I love the Amish and puritans

Also a thread on Liz Chaney was promoted through USAID.
and:
"Obama's mother worked for USAID, then the CIA adjacent Ford Foundation, and the Asia Development Bank and is credited with pioneering micro loans in Indonesia"
and "Someone from AOC's program became USAID's Niger Mission Director (Country Representative, USAID's version of Ambassador), noting it was "instrumental in shaping our careers." Now he's at USAID's Democracy Rights & Governance (DRG) office, which today is USAID's censorship center"

Thank you for calling Elonβs team βsix young men.β Iβm unreasonably bothered by the news and people on X calling them βElonβs team of autistsβ. Is there any proof that theyβre all autistic? I havenβt seen it if so. Maybe some are, but some are just that smart.
Thereβs nothing wrong with being an autistic genius, of course, look at Elon himself. But if these young guys arenβt autistic, using that word feels pejorative. Is it just me?
I think you might be overreacting a bit. In right-wing internet parlance "autist" has really just come to mean someone with singular focus, high intelligence, and intense drive. It's not in any way a negative and is meant in a strange, complementary fashion. I don't think these guys are offended.
It's unfortunate as there people severely affected with autism and low functioning, and the term autist minimizes their condition to some extent. Its similar to how retard now just means a stupid person rather than someone genuinely retarded. But it is what it is.
Progressives, who claim to care about the handicapped, are trying to imply that these men have a handicap, and should not be taken seriously.
These are the people who claim to hold the "moral high ground."
π₯π₯π₯β‘β‘β‘πππ
Yet another of many examples of their fakeness π
Youβre absolutely right!
And not to mention, invented "DEI"!!!
Just like they made sure to shout down, interrupt, and effectively vocally censor a man with a speech disability (RFK jr).
This may be true (and it is now sort of respected to be an "autist"), but having a son with Asperger's (so very high functioning), I can tell you it is still a big cross for some to bear.
Understand as I have a family member in a similar position. In my experience though, true autism is characterized by the utter inability to view things from another's perspective (i.e. the hallmark lack of empathy which I have seen first hand far too often. It is extremely unpleasant). But many positive character traits that people now call "autistic" are simply those of driven, successful people of past ages.
Bottom line IMO, is that we've got to pick our battles, not everything is an outrage. The fact that people now view certain positive character traits (intelligence, focused, accomplished, driven) as "autist" doesn't seem like such a bad thing. Plus there's nothing we can do about it anyways.
As the saying goes, "If you've met one autist, then you've met one autist." There's a reason that people talk about the "autism spectrum" - it can manifest in so many different ways.
In my own case, it manifests itself by giving me an unrivaled intuitive understanding of new concepts while robbing me of any kind of intuitive understanding of people. Over the years, I've learned to "mask" my social disability pretty well, and any time I tell someone that I'm an autist I'm usually met with "Really? I never would have known!" But they don't understand the constant, exhausting conscious mental effort I have to go through in order to have a "normal" conversation, and I don't know that I'll ever get over the paralysis I feel when I'm in a crowded room with ever-shifting groups of people (despite decades of effort, I _still_ don't understand the "rules" of how those work).
I'm certainly not "outraged" when people misunderstand autism, but I do try to educate people about it. The way our culture tends to look at it, autism usually means "crazy smart and not able to function in society." For the vast majority of us who are able to successfully mask, we're usually met with "Oh, you're obviously not _really_ autistic, and you just need to try harder!" - which is pretty frustrating. If our culture moves towards "autism is a superpower," then that'll make our lives even harder.
The left considers those traits you listed as βracistβ. The left apparently do esvnot consider Judge Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell as βblackβ.
They canβt even define βblackβ anyway. Or maybe their definition is βpeople with a certain skin color who think the way they are told to think.β
The raging left wing liberals crying about 6 young geniuses are retards π
Thanks for the info. Iβve never heard the term autist used in those terms, which are complimentary. In fact, in trying to look up what βautistβ actually means yesterday, there is no definition anywhere.
Dare I say that autists are under the "Q"umbrella? Next to "Anons"? π€·πΌ
I did not know the use of this term. Thank you.
Certainly sounds discriminatory
More fodder for the defamation law suits to come. I hope these young men suit the crap out of the media advancing this narrative.
Defaming.
Right, like itβs a way to denigrate them.
Sorry, wish I could give credit, but I do not recall the original source. I really like 'DOGE Team Six' as a moniker for them.
π Like SEAL Team 6, the original badasses of Naval Spec Ops. Best of the best with a very unique skill set.
Just wait until they label them racists, transphobists, etc.
It's okay to use a HANDICAP as an EPITHET, but only if you're a PROGRESSIVE, you see . . .
/sarc-off
Oh, we already know that playbook. No one cares anymore.
I was wondering why Elon had sofa beds delivered to, what was itβ¦.? The Eighth Floor of the OPMβ¦β¦.Office of Personnel Management.
I just realized the reason for thatβ¦.The President and Elon knew that those young men would be in danger. And after seeing the hatred displayed by the democRATS, and how frantic they are, we need to add this team and their families to our prayer list.
Good point!
I think the sleeper sofas were also to accommodate the work style of the crew. Some with the power to focus so intently on the task at hand lose track of time and work to exhaustion. They would certainly not fit the DC mopes model.
The first people I thought of were the characters on the Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon. Brilliant, social misfits who actually had empathy. Nothing wrong with that!
If it's Dems using "autists" as an epithet, then we no longer need EVER hold Dems in ANY KIND OF ESTEEM. They pretend to care about the "disadvantaged" and "handicapped" and then use "autist" as an INSULT?!? This is what their "intersectionality" is worth?!?
In the words of the leftist: "HOW. DARE. YOU."
Right. Thereβs absolutely nothing wrong with being autistic, Iβm sure we all know some/many that are amazing. I know I do. And like I saidβ¦ Elon. But itβs just about calling someone something theyβre notβ¦ itβs distasteful.
Itβs the same thing as Trump and others referring to the Blackhawk pilot as a DEI hire with no evidence, immediately after her name was released. Women often make excellent pilots, so I didnβt like that one either.
If it turns out to be true, then say it. Otherwise, use a different term.
I am pretty sure I heard Trump make a more general comment that "DEI may be an issue" or something similar, but I don't remember it as being directed at any of the pilots.
Not only calling them something theyβre not, but calling them that in an attempt to insult them!
Itβs so typical. Iβve been beyond holding them in any esteem for some time now.
I agree with you, Valerie. I was also gratified to see that Jeff had the class and integrity to describe them as extraordinary. And as far as Wired describing them as autists, I would just say to Wired, "You mean like The Accountant?"
If you're referring to the movie (Ben Affleck',s character was formidable!!) I have been thinking of that parallel all morning.
I was! One of my favorite movies. And I hope they do to USAID exactly what the character, Christian, played by Ben Affleck, did for that company in the movie, Living Robotics.
My Son as well
No I think they meant to call them βartistsβ but the people saying autists have a speech impediment and canβt pronounce their βRβs
I like your take π
ππ
Although not offensive to me personally, I predict that someday that word will go the way of "retard."
I donβt find it offensive either, but no one likes the idea of being referred to as something theyβre not. Imagine being 35 and someone referring to you as βthat older person, works in the corner office.β Youβd be like βolder? Rude.β
I look at it as this is just another example of mainstream media and leftists categorizing someone whether that person actually fits in that category or not.
I was wondering if any of them have the brain implant.
Interesting. Imagine them auditing the records, data, and processes of a Federal agency, but with Neuralink assistance to tap AI power to parse this information faster than a disconnected person could.
Aspbergerβs Syndrome was nastily and jealously included under autism, an Aspberger is above 100 IQ who can tune out irrelevant background and tunnel deep into complex problems and solve them. Itβs the absent minded professor who is a smart man and he has a talent of ignoring irrelevant encroachments.
By the way, the English language is not gendered, and mankind always includes womankind. And when speaking generally, man always includes woman.
If they are on the spectrum, as Elon is, that is even more concerning. Such people, in my experience, are easily deceived. And they do not think like the rest of us. Even more concerning to me.
Fully agree
I knew there was waste in USAID. However, my brain hurts every time I see a chart that shows how much of our money is being squander
We would all be in the courts or jail for doing what these folks are doing.
It seems obvious by the gross theft of our tax money, that we wouldnβt need taxes or most definitely at the rates we are paying once they get rid of all the waste! Ehemβ¦.waste isnβt even the correct word for what they have done. Blood money maybe? They didnβt waste it. They stole it and used it against us.
It seems by stopping the fraudulent and criminal use of someone elseβs moneyβ¦..those someones then get to KEEP their money!
Go Trump! Abolish the IRS! Do it! It will be an instant raise for every single one of us!
The politicians who are yelling the loudest about the USAID scam should have their accounts investigated to see how much money has been funneled to them! Wonder what might be found!
Bingo! π―
Agree!! Certainly Ilhan Omar is one!
Yesβ¦how much of the missing $100 Billion money sent to Ukraine found its way right into some DC pockets??? Probably wasnβt even sent across the pond. This is disgusting.
Can't wait until they get to chemtrails.
Me too! I look up and see them cross-crossing the sky above our home
nearly every dayβ¦purely sunny, clear days are few and far between.
I live in central Illinois- as in our small town is surrounded by farmland. Imagine what is being done to the soil/crops/our food.
Accountability!
Same in Topeka.... I video them and put them on facebook... with a few swear words....
Exactly. These SOB's decided to use our own tax money to spray us with crap, like we are gd bugs. And then they lie about it.
Here in sunny CA, we're having more grey days than MN in winter!
Chemtrails and Epsteinβs list/videos will be the days I celebrate the hardest.
Have you noticed a pause in your area by any chance? I wondered if people working in the weather modification field might already be affected by the spending freeze.
We had a long pause, but the last week they have been thicker than ever.
Christmas day was a biggie, pilots probably got triple overtime.
Maybe itβs just wishful thinking but it seems weβve had more clear days than usual lately.
Itβs so cloudy here in MI that the trails are hidden. Iβm guessing theyβre still going on overhead, behind the heavy cloud cover.
I have noticed in central Florida for a while it seemed lessβ¦.thought maybe something happened to stop it. Nope. I sit outside with a clear blue sky right now with them all over π π‘ π
RFK Jr is aware. Another reason to pray for his confirmation: https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/us-presidential-candidate-robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-dane-wigington-is-climate-engineering-real/
Totally honest question- what is the deal with chemtrails? I've heard them mentioned in a "conspiracy" theory sort of way but never explained.
I keep seeing people say the tax money needs to be spent better, or on Trumpβs political priorities. No! Send the money back to the taxpayer. Otherwise weβll have the same problem-misspent taxes and government greed and grift- but this time it will favor the politicians with an R. No thanks.
Iβd happily forfeit my share to bring down the National debt, but ONLY if the DOGE keeps going full steam ahead! Then lower (or abolish?) taxes!
DOGE has 18 months to get the job done. I suspect Elon has other projects that may need his attention. π
Yes, the ones who are there now might be responsible but we canβt guarantee it will last (in fact, given the amounts of money involved, you can pretty much guarantee the opposite!). Just dismantle the whole thing and keep the bare minimum. Iβm sure the freed up money will be used more effectively to solve problems!
Well said!!!!!!
Is this why heβs talked about abolishing the income tax? Is it related?
Agreed. Iβd like someone to show who all these ngoβs are. Not just the name of the ngo but the people who own and run them. Who are the people walking off with all the money.
Who are the unnamed recipients that got 1.2 Billion. I bet Gates is burrowed in there someplace if Bill Krystol is feeding at the trough. Plus Miss Lindsey.
Isn't Lindsey coming around on Trump's cabinet appointees now after having raised an initial fuss? Makes me wonder who spoke to him and what they said...
What was said to him is that we now know he was feeding at the UsAID trough. As the Director of such and such? Get on board or sink Miss Lindsey.
He's like the wind, blows every which way.
As soon as it became public knowledge he was on the dole, he made sounds.
Exposure is a good disinfectant.

When newly elected Obama said the United States was going to undergo a fundamental transformation he was right about that. But he was wrong about when it would occur and under which administration..
Sadly, he was right as well that much did happen under his regime. There _was_ a lot of transformation - more division, more hate, more taxes, more alphabet army. So much stuff forced on the US population that we just didn't have any real way to fight. Undoing much of that and more seems like a huge transformation, but it's more of a reset to where we should be. :/

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, βHe is the one who catches the wise in their craftinessβ; and again, βThe Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.β
β 1 Corinthians 3:19-20 LSB
βοΈβοΈβοΈ
βTo have a high opinion of our own wisdom, is but to flatter ourselves; and self-flattery is the next step to self-deceit. The wisdom that wordly men esteem, is foolishness with God. How justly does He despise, and how easily can He baffle and confound it! The thoughts of the wisest men in the world, have vanity, weakness, and folly in them. All this should teach us to be humble, and make us willing to be taught of God, so as not to be led away, by pretences to human wisdom and skill, from the simple truths revealed by Christ.β - Matthew Henry
Yes! As I wrote above, I am reading a book about an Amish group in western PA. The book was written by an outsider who lives among them. She explains so many of the βdifferentβ Amish customs have a real purpose in uniting their communities to the purpose of serving God.

With Democrat politicians from Senate & House leading protest over the shutting down of USAID we should remember when you hear about anyone protesting the closure of USAID, if any politicians are concerned all they have to do is sponsor legislation to fund any projects USAID was funding, so shutting USAID down is really no big deal.
A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a SC state house rep and one thing we talked about was Lindsey Graham. This rep told me Lindsey has access to large amounts of cash and uses it to buy state politicians, feeding their corruption. I have no reason to doubt that and odds are much of that money came from USAID NGO's. Now that those USAID funds are blocked, this might be the time to hammer the bought politicians. When the funding stops at least some of them will reveal their inner weaknesses.
Strike while the iron is hot!
USAID gave $1.2 billion to undisclosed recipients. Iβve no doubt our young boy geniuses will disclose them in no timeβ¦letβs wager whoβs on the list? Iβll start: Graham, AOC, Schumer, Pelosi, Murkowski. I could go on and onβ¦
Bingooo!!
Speaking of Graham, something has happened to the usual suspect RINO malcontents in the Senate like Graham, Tom Tillis, and Markwayne Mullin. These guys could be counted on to disrupt any positive progress with obvious disingenuous talk about "principles". Yet now they aren't, Mullin even sounds like a Trumpster.
I suspect these guys are beyond-the-pale corrupt, probably even compromised. Team Trump then compiled dossiers on them, sat them down, showed them what they had on them, and let them now they will now be MAGA patsies or they will be exposed. There's just no other explanation that makes sense.
This is exactly what I was thinking too
Iβd still like them ousted next election. If they have to be coerced to do the right thing, they arenβt right for the job.

What the hell is happening with the confirmations of Kennedy, Patel and Gabbard? I thought Thune said he would hold the Senate in session during the weekends to get them confirmed. Is he already falling down on the job?
Tulsi has a closed session today but, you are right... wth? They should have all already been co firmed by now!
Wahoo, Kennedy advanced!
I saw yesterday that Collins is a yes for Tulsi.
WTH? WTF!
Wondering if that break was also to give the more stubborn RINOs a chance to have a good "talk" with the way things would play out if they didn't listen to their voters.....
RFK was just approved by the Senate Finance Committee
Next steps for Tulsi and RFKJr. are today! One at 10, one at 2 (I think.) Committee votes.
just saw that Kennedy cleared committee
Senator Bill Cassidy -Louisiana (R) is the possible hold out that could stall Kennedy to advance. He needs all 13 republicanβs to vote for him to be majority over the 12 democrats thatβs wonβt. He is hesitant over Kennedyβs vaccine stance. He is a doctor of course π€¦ββοΈ
Cassidy capitulated. The vote was unanimous among the Rs. Also unanimously opposed among the Ds. Great news for MAHA!
My opinion is that Cassidy is giving his yes vote to Kennedy only by cutting the legs out from under Kennedyβs commitment to expose βthe scienceβ particularly about vaccines. Heβs made Kennedy promise to his (Cassidyβs) rules in order to gain his yes vote. Your opinions on this?
Thatβs encouraging!
Senator Cassidy is fanatical about making RFK say the words, "safe and effective." It's weird. I know he is a physician and he told a story about treating a woman in end stage liver disease due to Hep B and how she could have been saved with a vaccine (there is SO much to say about that scenario, but I'll leave it for now) and he basically implied that RFK would be responsible of thousands more like that woman with his vaccine stance.
Doctors are the most brainwashed about vaccines. I have a family member who is a doctor and he believes everything heβs told by the medical mafia and discounts anything I say because Iβm not a doctor. Itβs a shame because heβs very smart and tries to help people, but he has a very narrow, allopathic view.
You should buy him "The Cancer Cure That Worked" by Berry Lyons that tells about how frequencies cure Cancer. Energy Density Frequency Medicine works even better.
He better have a convo with the other Kennedy, his partner. And maybe a ball bat.
Thune made a deal with Schumer. Zero hedges had the story yesterday. Might be on page 3 today.

Spot on! Canβt believe it aired on CBC - thank goodness for comics!
America has missed out on sooooo much comedy gold these past four years. A true tragedy. I hope we have a new SNL rival soon to make fun of all the lunacy we have all been seeing
Maybe do Schumer and his comments about everybody being aroused.
Thank you for finding that it made my morning

In βThe Creature from Jekyll Island,β G. Edward Griffin discusses how foreign aid creates a system of dependency that ββset[s] up conditions exactly opposite to those required for economic growthββ (heβs quoting Paul Roberts of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington). Basically, the same old socialist formula of control through perpetual dependency.
C&C Army, today, February 4, is a day of historic significance as it is the five-year anniversary of the EUA and PREP Act declarations that initiated the COVID war against humanity.
Debbie Lerman and Sasha Latypova compiled a document with detailed evidence showing COVID was a globally coordinated military and intelligence operationβnot a public health event:

Sasha and Debbie have asked that dissidents share this on every possible outlet today to raise awareness about this military operation against the public.

Creature from Jekyll Island is a classic! Great that the Tuttle Twins series has a kid-friendly version too, although the original isnβt dry or difficult to read
I think you told me about that before! I need to look that up. How brilliant to make a version for kids.
I probably did πTuttle Twins are great and we need it to counteract the brainwashing in govt-funded schools which targets them from a young age.
I'd never heard of them before so am glad you reminded me!

I had my son read these after we started homeschooling!
I just got the audiobook!
Love the tuttles!!
I still can't believe it's been five years! Wow. The world is so different now.
EDIT: MY world is so different now.
"All roads lead to Rome" or, in this case, the trail of treason and democide lead to the DoD/Intelligence Complex. If we let them divert the blame to China, then they win. DONβT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!!
Bear in mind, the democide is STILL on-going. The slow-kill bio-weapon is STILL on the market, even in FL and still being pushed by the USG, with newer versions coming to market and the slow-kill chemtrails are STILL being sprayed over the heads of our children.
When does it STOP? Everyone is concerned about the money. When are the very lives of our children going to matter?
Nanotechnological Poisons From Above - Swiss Research Team Reveals Geoengineering "Spider Filaments" Are Polyamide Nanofibers Delivering Highly Toxic Chemicals - We Are Inhaling Them
ANA MARIA MIHALCEA, MD, PHD
....It is my great hope that the next step of analysis can also be the correlation of the chemicals in the COVID19 bioweapons with the toxic substances deployed via military geoengineering operations.
The final request of the group is the most important part. Clifford and I have been warning about an extinction level event due to the contamination of human blood. Every citizen must take this information to their politician, their police officers, their townhalls. Maybe if they understand that they are being slow killed too, someone will do something about this.
All poisons create oxidative stress in the body. High level of antioxidants like Vitamin C, NAC, Glutathione and others can help mitigate the damage to some degree.
Thank you to Reinette and the WIR team for exposing this.

PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS RACKET AND DOD
The Covid Dossier: A record of military and intelligence coordination of the global Covid event. US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy
SASHA LATYPOVA
...The Covid Dossier is a compilation of the evidence we have amassed over the last three years supporting the following claim:
Covid was not a public health event, although it was presented as such to the worldβs population. It was a global operation, coordinated through public-private intelligence and military alliances and invoking laws designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons attacks...
...HOW IT STARTED: FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY
Exactly five years ago, on February 4th, 2020, two things happened that almost nobody knows about, but that played an important role in the course of recent world history:
1) Two declarations for CBRN (weapons of mass destruction) emergencies β EUA and PREP Act β made by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, were registered on this date...
...2) A pharmaceutical executive was caught on tape saying that the U.S. Department of Defense called to inform him βthat the newly discovered Sars-2 virus posed a national security threat.β ...

Awesome and thanks so much, Silver Soprano!
My feelings about the democrat's USAID tantrums can be summed up in one phrase, "I really don't care, Margaret!"
I love another Vance quote βMartha, do you hear yourself?β
