The internet strikes again! Steve Green brings us the story of how two conservative amateurs dove into the financial aneurysm that is USAID and put together a searchable database that allows anyone to FOLLOW THE MONEY. Just the receipts they presented on a simple trial run will be enough to make your blood boil.
Listen here on Soundcloud:
USAID gave $260 million to SOROS! Who works very hard to destroy America.
As I said on Bill’s stratosphere lounge, this is what the Q anon forum was for, people were reporting USAID there. Libertarians have been talking about it for decades from the 1980’s. Whistle blowers that get blocked or betrayed when they report to the inspectors-general at government agencies tend to go Libertarian. That is why all 11 inspectors-general were fired. That’s a failed safeguard. When a chain of command is compromised the procedure is to contact people via a secondary means and form a backup chain of command. That is what Q anon was on 4Chan. 4 Chan was where… Read more »
The PII reminds me of this line from BATMAN: The Movie (1966).
Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb!
That movie was a bomb we’ll never be rid of!
One of the superpowers of DOGE is going to be the ability to communicate this waste directly to the people. DJT’s personal X account is over 100 million. Elon has over 200 Million. Add in various other Pols and new Media personalities (Joe Rogan has 14.9 million e.g. while Ben Shapiro has 7.6 million) and the reach is very high, without having to worry about ABCCBSNBCDNC covering the waste as anything other than dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. This video will do 15-20k on YT/Rumble and another 5-10 audio only like Spotify, etc. Add in others like Megyn… Read more »
This is why the Government Employees Union – which shouldn’t exist in the first place because unions are there to fight “the man”, which is us – is one of the top three donors to the Democratic Party. One other is the Teacher’s Union, which, from the outside looking in, appears to fight against teaching our children. The other is lawyers, the US legal system being so backwards that it is in reality a “Winner pays” boondoggle, anyone able to sue for anything, hence the scourge of growth through capitalism and protected from reform by the Left.
If you worked in a government job, you might have a different view on government unions. We cannot strike, so there’s that.
So we cant get redress on horrible managers or conditions?
Not that I like them, or know that most stewards just want the time off, I’ve seen the good ones stop stuff like extreme limits on bathroom breaks. If all the power is on one side, abuse is more likely.
Heck, I had real issues that the union failed to rectify. But I’ve also seen real abuses stopped.
IDK, never been a govvie, but redress to bad management has always had finding another job as an option.
Finding another job is often an option. But if you’ve been looking for months and the one you have is the only one that hired you, you don’t really have an option. This happened to me. I was either overqualified or under qualified. If you are a programmer in a language that is not used near where you live and can’t afford to move, your options are limited. This is what happened to me when the company I was in decided to go all in and bet on a tech solution that had never been used like they wanted. They… Read more »
Or you realize that you went all in on a career that’s slowly but surely being offshored. And you spend six months unemployed after a layoff and you get laid off and as your unemployment runs out you have to take a job that’s a notch above entry level and a big pay cut so you can at least pay the bills. At the end of the day you’ve got to pay attention to the distant thunder & not count on anyone else to keep you employed.
That worked fine when I was a young man working low-paying jobs. I hopped around quite a bit changing jobs whenever I got bored or was treated poorly by an employer. However, jobs that required training and skills paid better, BUT in California law enforcement, there was a huge push for minorities back in the 80s and 90s, and if I had quit my job at CHP (the move from SDPD to CHP was a lateral), I would have had a hard time finding another job in law enforcement.
I agree, Harry, but some times the union caused more harm than the employer. When I worked at the California Highway Patrol, I was forced to join a union named C.A.U.S.E. I signed on as a steward in the union, thinking maybe I could do good things for other members – until I learned (true story) the bylaws of the union stated that, in any disagreement between the members of the union and the union board, the union board’s decision ruled. This meant our unions dues supported Left-wing Democrat political candidates even though the majority of the members supported Republican… Read more »
Hoo boy, do unions sometimes cause more harm than good. And other times cause more good than harm. Its people being people and power corrupting. Depends on the individual and the leadership.
Steve, No need to apologize for singling out Kristol with some full Alinsky. Traitors like him need to have a bright light shining on them. Besides, he’s too busy sitting in his closet crying while his wife’s boyfriend takes care of business.
Scott, “Red pilling” is a reference to The Matrix where Neo takes the red pill and opens his eyes to reality.
Yes. Scott’s sensitivities to the usage of the “red pilling” term left me with a bad taste. Your response definitely addresses what I now see as an obvious lack of understanding on his part; however, it is unclear whether or not your message will be received.
Scott reminds me of when I flirted with the idea of being a Libertarian – until I discovered they believed in open borders. It was a stated part of their platform. I’m wondering if “Big-L” Libertarians still support open borders. Anyone know? I believe Scott is a good man with good intentions, but there have been a number of times when I’ve been uncomfortable how far Left of center he was swinging on various subjects.
