Another one: Credit Check, esp. if there is some way to check for Gambling Debts. Major Security Risk. Degen Gamblers always desperate for money to cover debts or get a stake.

NED has 20 red flags of corruption:
Lack of Bipartisanship: Despite being legally required to reflect the diversity of American society, NED is predominantly staffed and led by Democrats, which raises questions about its political neutrality.

Political Discrimination: Allegations suggest that NED discriminates against Republicans and conservatives in hiring practices, potentially skewing its operations towards one political ideology.

Duplication of Efforts: NED's activities often overlap with those of other U.S. government agencies, suggesting redundancy and potential inefficiency in the use of public funds.

Lack of Transparency: Since 2021, NED has not updated its online database of grants, reducing the transparency of its funding allocations.

Reduction in Reporting: NED ceased producing printable annual reports after 2017, opting for less detailed multimedia summaries, which might obscure detailed financial and operational transparency.

Board Composition: As of late 2023, the NED board had more members than the legally mandated maximum, potentially affecting governance.

Partisanship in Events and Activities: The organization's programs and events are often seen as favoring one political perspective over another, suggesting a lack of balance in promoting democratic ideals.

CIA-like Operations: NED has been described as a continuation of the CIA's covert activities under a different guise, raising concerns about its true purpose and methods.

Interference in Elections: NED has been accused of influencing election outcomes in countries like Bolivia by funding media and NGOs to highlight alleged election fraud by incumbent governments.

Funding Opposition Movements: NED's support for opposition groups in various countries, often in line with U.S. foreign policy, can be seen as interference in domestic politics.

Manipulation of Narratives: There are claims that NED manipulates public opinion by funding media outlets and NGOs that promote narratives favorable to U.S. interests.

Undesirable NGO Status: Russia labeled NED as an "undesirable" organization in 2015, highlighting concerns over foreign interference in domestic affairs.

Historical Ties to CIA: The origins of NED as a response to expose CIA activities suggest a continuity in strategic objectives despite changes in operation from covert to overt.

Funding of Anti-Government Protests: NED has been linked to funding protests and opposition movements, like those during the Euromaidan in Ukraine, which could destabilize countries.

Selective Democracy Support: NED tends to support "democracy activists" in countries where U.S. geopolitical interests are at stake, questioning the purity of its democratic motives.

Infiltration and Subversion: Accusations of NED engaging in subversive activities, including ideological infiltration in regions like Europe and Latin America.

Support for "Color Revolutions": NED's involvement in various "color revolutions" worldwide indicates a strategic use of democracy promotion for geopolitical gain.

Lack of Accountability: There's a call for oversight and investigation into NED's operations, particularly its role in censoring U.S. citizens and its hiring practices.

Funding of Controversial NGOs: NED has funded organizations with controversial agendas or methods, raising ethical questions about the nature of the "democracy" it promotes.

Strategic Autonomy Suppression: In Europe, NED has been accused of suppressing voices for strategic autonomy in favor of transatlanticism, manipulating EU policy.

These red flags suggest areas where NED's activities might not align with its mission to promote democracy or could be indicative of broader geopolitical strategies rather than pure democratic support.

What is DOGE?

DOGE is Trump's reband of Obama's "Digital Service". All participants are go through a read-in to access all secrets and covered by a host of protections initiated by Obama and by inaction of RINO Congress

Basically, the Democrats will have to argue in Court that Obama had no power to do what he did, and a Judge will say "Why did Congress allow funding then?,,Does that mean everything Obama did with it is illegal?"

And it will be one long ass Court slog.

Whoever advised Trump to go this route is a real smart sonofabitch





TL;DR: Obama created a National-Security cleared Digital Service to look at anything and everything. RINOs funded it and never stopped him. Now it's Trumps.

DOGE is also a sneaky reference to the absolute ruler of Venice (Babylonian Banksters of yore) before 1800.

Wife makes about $80K, but works 12 hours a day between teaching, correcting homework, and preparing lessons. Around here, that's not enough for a middle-class lifestyle.

On the other hand, it's her choice because we don't really need the money. She could quit and we'd still be fine.

The pension is supposed to be good, but I don't know how good. She's been a teacher for only three years.

usually a vesting period, and then it builds up. takes about 28 years to retire with your final salary if you can last that long. first 10 years pension is nothing but a few hundred a month.

Musk quoted a slew of threats directed against himself and other DOGE employees on X made under the subreddit "r/whitepeopletwitter," many of them violent in nature. The original post appears to have been taken down on Reddit, but X user "Reddit Lies" posted a screenshot of over a dozen threatening comments.

"I'll say it. This nazi stooge needs to be shot," one user said.

"It's time to do more than dragging names, let's drag their necks up by a large coil of rope," another said.

Several threats demanded other users find and post the addresses of DOGE employees so others could "deal with them." ...

Martin also pledged to look into other figures, including former Minnesota Democratic House candidate Will Stancil, who is known for his X presence. In one quoted post on the social media outlet Bluesky, Stancil said Musk "should get the wall."

Stancil protested the attention, denying he had done anything illegal and deriding Martin as "Musk's pet US attorney."

Acting DC US Attorney Ed Martin Announces Incoming Charges Against Individuals Who Threatened Elon Musk’s DOGE Workers ...

“Our initial review of the evidence presented to us indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting DOGE employees,” Ed Martin said.

“We are in contact with the FBI and other law-enforcement partners to proceed rapidly. We also have our prosecutors preparing,” Ed Martin added.

Oh great, the FBI. As if they were somehow trustworthy.

It was USAID all along.

And, all those Congressmen and their family members as board members getting paid to their NGOs via USAID - and kickbacks/post-retirement consulting fees after selecting the contractors, too. It wasn't all stock tips.

Top comment is priceless

Don’t believe hard core jihadi commie Ro Khanna who mostly works on fakestan side. He never responded to a request to look at the Balaji murder related to OpenAI from his mother.

Keep an eye on his daughter's face.

Natch.

Congress authorizes and appropriates money to the agencies. So the agencies can spend up to a certain limit based on this, and specifically based on this.

This deals with color of money, such as NOAA has to spend money set aside to build new research ships on only new research ships, unless Congress authorizes elsewise.

So Trump could just send the federal civil servants home on paid admin leave and they can't spend money they are authorized by Congress to spend.

As long as the federal civil servants are not fired from their jobs and they are getting paid, then there is no violating of federal civil service regulations and/or laws.

Any money that the agency does not spend gets returned right after the end of the fiscal year to the US Treasury.

The Treasury can pay down US federal debt with that money.

This is what Trump should do his first year in office to show he reversed the the trend of increasing deficits (Biden's 2023 deficit was $1.65 trillion and 2024 deficit was $1.9 trillion).

These morons trying to deflect there are left wing NGOs who directly received the federal grants from USAID, etc and then funnel it to the Clinton Foundation. It may change hands a couple of times before it makes to the like of the Clinton Foundation.
