The Musk-eteers Reveal You’ve Been Living in a Simulated Reality​



By Clarice Feldman

Over the past two weeks Elon Musk and his cadre of young computer geniuses have cracked the code. Like Toto pulling the curtain on the Wizard of Oz, they’ve pulled back the cover on government secrecy. They've shown how oceans of tax revenue have flowed through Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), charitable-sounding foundations, the UN, and others to fund terrorists, disrupters like BLM, and reporters to promote Democrats and censor the opposition, most often to enrich Democrat politicians and their friends, families, and allies. The news you thought was news wasn’t independently and honestly generated. The charities you thought were genuine, weren’t. It’s one big gaslighting grift and you paid for it.

The mountain of discoveries is more than I can keep up with. Our own Andrea Widburg listed some of what was found in the first tranche of USAID records. This included (just to start) funding anti-Trumper Bill Kristol, along with “religious charities” run by highly remunerated people who can be counted on to advocate strongly for increased immigration and protection of illegal immigrants they brought here. And placed on the welfare rolls for you to support.

Townhall has more. Here’s a brief sample -- there’s much much more:

What they need to investigate is the people who are setting up these NGO's and see how much they are skimming to how much is actually going to the program. Those people are the thiefs.

I'm curious, isn't this money getting obligated by Congress? Doesn't Congress have the final say that it gets spent in that manner? If not why wasn't something done sooner about shoving this sort of thing in these spending bills, including Trump's first four years?

Congress gives the money to USAID in the budget. They have no control after who they dole the money out to.

The Charity-Industrial Complex is real. Acquaintance of my wife spent years trying to get her NGO off the ground. But this is pretty thin soil for such around here. But up in DC? PG? Baltimore? Govt throwing laundry baskets full of cash at non-profits to fix problems.

Because they're not in the spending bill. USAID is in the spending bill and they dole from there. Since most of Congress is on the take, they have no inclination to perform an audit to see where all this money is going.

I think it's a great idea for all these government slush funds to be audited. I'd like to know how my money is being spent. The other thing is the programs themselves. Example:

$6 million to fund tourism in Egypt - what does this mean? How exactly are we "funding tourism"? Running ads saying visit Egypt? Buying tourists t-shirts? How is that money being used? Not to mention why the eff is Egyptian tourism of any national concern to us?

Another mindboggler: $1.5 million to advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities. How exactly are they going about that? Never mind why do we care, I'd like to know how that money is being spent. Are they sending around speakers to preach the diversity gospel? Are they relocating trannies and white Christians into these places? How specifically does one advance diversity in an extremely uniform culture?

Is why I think every bill should be about one thing only, none of this shoving money to study 14th century Hungarian lesbian literature in an interstate improvement bill.

Congress approves the appropriation of funds, not the expenditures. Just like with the DOD, you can be provided a budget but they don't force you to spend it. Excess funds get returned up the line, eventually going back to the Treasury.

If USAID is an executive branch service, Congress can fund them but the president can say "cancel all this work and don't spend the money".

Of course it can, like what Biden did with the border wall funding. The GAO affirmed the halt as a "programmatic delay" and not an impoundment of the funds. Additionally, the President is charged by the Constitution to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed", and with regard to funding for USAID I would say that delaying that program is within his authority given the recent revelations as to what is actually being paid for.

Completely agree. The Democrats are notorious for shoving pork and slush into bills with maybe one thing that actually benefits children. So when Republicans who actually read the bill nope out they can go, "Republicans don't want to save children!!!"
