These things HURT when you step on them. I have NO idea how many bricks I have, but the number has to be somewhere north of 50,000.

This implies it was ever beneficial to the average American.

Yes!

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.  The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.  Bourgault’s IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at http://archive.org. Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted.  IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN's budget has been supplied by the US government… 

USAID was covertly creating a state media apparatus, paid for by our tax dollars. Nothing is shocking regarding DC cesspool antics, but hearings and investigations must start.

We're starting to dg beneath the surface now, and it sure looks like we're starting to find what the swamp dwellers are really scared of. Keep an eye on this story, because this is only the beginning.

Great movie. I've seen it, but not recently.

There's no normal life, Wyatt. There's just life. Now get on with it.

On Tuesday, staffers at Politico were notified that a ‘technical error’ had prevented paychecks from going out. Many joked that this had something to do with the Trump administration putting a freeze on USAID funding.

And while there’s no evidence the two are linked, the suggestion prompted internet sleuths to look into Politico’s sources of funding. What they found was absolutely shocking.

According to government spending tracker website USASPENDING.gov, Politico - which laundered the Hunter Biden ‘51 intel officials’ propaganda during the 2020 election - received up to $27 million (and by some counts $32 million) from various US agencies during the Biden years.

In one instance, roughly $500,000 was spent on 37 Politico ‘pro’ subscriptions.

Of note, Politico was sold to German media giant Axel Springer (which also owns Business Insider) for $1 billion in 2021, meaning US taxpayer dollars have been flowing to the German media giant to prop up their US propaganda rags.

And look at this, the NY Times received $3.1 million in taxpayer funds, while the UK’s BBC received $3.2 million.

Meanwhile…

ZeroHedge hasn’t received a dime from the US government (or any government, assholes), while coming under recurring attack from the deep state and their various tentacles. We subsist on dwindling ad revenues thanks to the media censorship complex, subscriptions, and revenue from our new store.

It seems some moron's been messing with the projector at the local planetarium again. Apparently they keep finding those little red discs that one can use to change the lighting.

the groundhog reportedly saw "a blood red sun. in the foreground a massive wheel framing the sun in the sky. the wheel has ceased to turn". nobody is sure what this means but its probably fine

The fact about the plane/helicopter crash is simple: there weren't enough ATC personnel. Why not? Because the FAA prioritized skin color and genitals over qualifications. There was a law suit against them by a bunch of very qualified people who were rejected because they were while.

If there had just been one more person there to watch, this wouldn't have happened. Almost 100 people would still be alive. DEI is killing people.

Yep. And this has been going on since 2013. DEI is bad enough on its own. It's racist and evil and wrong. But when you bring it into jobs where people's lives are on the line, it kills. Because it prioritized skin color and gender above skill and competence.
