angelina jolie has been engaging in anti war activism for years

right from when she produced this movie about the bosnian civil war

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

I know, that why I said if that's true.

People can only speak based on info they have.

That aside, I wouldn't overly stress myself for any politician or those close to corridors of power cos in many cases, they are always two faced.
Politics is the more you look, the less you see.

I'm against the deceptive nature of the US media with words to brainwash their people. Things like lobbying, terrorists or rebels are used however they like to further their interests. Example is the "lobbying and lobbyists", this is pure corruption coated in grammar to deceive people. It is the same thing done in other countries that they cal corruption.

It is also important to understand that the corruption is both from the GOP and DNC candidates. Both sides are united in voting for things that increase their pockets as seen in years.

This DOGE agency, however good intentions they may have, their leaking to the public things they do not truly understand will only inflame people and allies to be very careful with the US.

There are so many shades of wrongs in this saga.

Livelystone01:
So what names should they give to those operations in the books? Because accountability must be made so there's a name that would be placed there. You want them to write "payment for illegal mining or to warlords for security in the middle East"?

Something like these would still come up if they put it under any other agency because their purposes can never be stated expressly.

It would not still come up if the payments were in a black budget.

In fact, it would not come up at all.

Read more on how the IC conduct their operations.
This is Espionage 101.

I see the point you're trying to make.
But you're overstating an hypothetical that can be resolved with a phone call and keystrokes.

-Lord

Whether CIA or USAID should have classified budgets,
In 2023, acording to the Columbia Journalism Review, USAID supported 6,200 journalists, 707 news outlets and 279 media sector civil society organizations in 30 different countries budgeted at $268 million .

Example of an echo chamber.

Because..



And because they are not unthinking maga who insurrect because they lost an election.

Have you heard. A review of the cases Trump faced will be ordered by the AG.
Then you'll see I been right on point every waking moment.
Stop using insurrection, use fedsurrection. The guy who coined it., he is now an Undersecretary in the State Department.

Dude, please. We all know his AG will write out lies and call them alternative facts, and magas like you will claim its reality.

descarado:
Please, I beg you,no insult. I don't do gutter language.
You can be civil, it doesn't kill to pass your message in a civil manner.

To topic, I post anything that caught my interest as long as it doesn't violate any law.
That's what everybody here does. All posts whether true or not true came from somewhere.
Govt do that a lot not to talk of the press.
Give me a break.
So please again, no insult.
Thank you.

i find it insulting when people post what they know to be untrue or don't check if it is true or not before posting. So, if you don't insult me I wouldn't insult you.

"Elon Musk and elected officials falsely said Politico was subsidized by the government. Turns out, government officials were just paying for subscriptions."

I have seen the books of some private oil companies that work in Africa and some simply call it "Facilitation payments"

Military also have their own where they use to bribe local informants and buy favors before landing

basilico:
Is that the politico that receives more USAID money than from it's subscribers?

This is another one of your lies.
You seem to be stupid to do your own research and instead parrot whatever conspiratorial bullshit you see online.
How you even put your pants on in the morning is beyond me.

That you think Elon Musk has good intentions in what he is doing is mystifying.
It's the same elon MUsk and DOGE that leaked the lie that Palestine got 40 million for condoms.

This is a feature of Trump and Elon, not a bug.
The goal is to inflame public sentiment with information they know to be suspect at best because they don't expect people to do their own research.

What's surprising is that you, Mr. Middle seemed unaware of it and are just noticing it now.
Better late than never I guess.

"Elon Musk and elected officials falsely said Politico was subsidized by the government. Turns out, government officials were just paying for subscriptions."

How many accounts totalling $8 million.
$444K for these 37 users.. lifetime subscription?
Im sure you will explain FDA uses 37 accounts for it's 18,000 workforce to read propaganda like killing Hunter Biden laptop.

We are living in the dumbest timeline.
The money to Politico was for Politico Pro which is a service that tracks legislation.

However, in reality, that money appears to come from Politico Pro subscriptions, which are targeted at business executives, lobbyists, and government workers, and cost more than $10,000 each. It also was the total amount of money from all government agencies, not just USAID. The service tracks legislation, votes, and lawsuits, and includes niche reporting and analysis about news from within the federal government.

Right-wing commentators then found what they claimed was evidence that USAID funneled money to the Associated Press, although much of that is due to syndication agreements between the AP and government media outlets such as Voice of America.

Who else paid for Politico Pro?
None other than Lauren Boebert.
I guess she is part of the fraud and deep state as well.

Wow! So the condom saga was a lie? Interesting

Doesn't make sense in the 1st place.

The grifting is huge at everyone's in position of power level.
Everyone is drilling from both side and enjoying life at the poor and middle class expense.

It will be well with our country!

US immigration is gaming Google to create a mirage of mass deportations

Thousands of press releases about decade-old enforcement actions topped search results, all updated with a timestamp from after Trump’s inauguration

News of mass immigration arrests has swept across the US over the past couple of weeks. Reports from Massachusetts to Idaho have described agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) spreading through communities and rounding people up. Quick Google searches for Ice operations, raids and arrests return a deluge of government press releases. Headlines include “ICE arrests 85 during 4-day Colorado operation”, “New Orleans focuses targeted operations on 123 criminal noncitizens”, and in Wisconsin, “ICE arrests 83 criminal aliens”.

But a closer look at these Ice reports tells a different story.

That four-day operation in Colorado? It happened in November 2010. The 123 people targeted in New Orleans? That was February of last year. Wisconsin? September 2018. There are thousands of examples of this throughout all 50 states – Ice press releases that have reached the first page of Google search results, making it seem like enforcement actions just happened, when in actuality they occurred months or years ago. Some, such as the arrest of “44 absconders” in Nebraska, go back as far as 2008.

DOGE already spent 7 million dollars in one week doing God knows what. In a year? The whole term? Broad daylight thievery.

Set a goat to guard the yam is what this is.

A goat 🐐 to guard the yam 🍠 well said!

Congratulations to that milestone.

Feminism should be fighting for women right not killing and squashing it.

A man in all female sports because of wokeism.
A man advertising pad because he thinks he is a woman and dresses so.
And women instead of fighting this are proudly supporting it
We have forgotten the core values of feminism.
Woke feminism is delusional.
So happy with this.

The world should take note

Yeah, seemed specious when I heard it a week ago.
So, did some digging and it was a lie.
It's been a week so surprised people are still spreading it.

From the 2023 Budget
-USAID didn't even spend that much on condoms in all it's programs. Only 7 million was spent in all of 2023.
-None of that money was used for condoms in GAZA or the Middle East
-And the insane part of people in this thread parroting that lie is that 89% of the money went to programs in Africa.

According to a comprehensive report issued in September by the US Agency for International Development (USAid), not a penny of the $60.8m in contraceptive and condom shipments funded by the US in the past year went to Gaza. In fact, the accounting shows, there were no condoms sent to any part of the Middle East, and just one small shipment, $45,680 in oral and injectable contraceptives, was sent to the region, all of it distributed to the government of Jordan.

For the financial year 2023, the most recent for which data is available, only about $7m worth of condoms were distributed globally by USAid, and the vast majority of family-planning funds, 89%, were spent on programs in Africa.
