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 atarchive.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 (thread follows)
In the face of a new executive order issued by President Donald Trump on Wednesday imposing significant penalties on schools that allow males to compete in girls’ sports, the Maine Department of Education (DOE) maintained its commitment to radical gender ideology.
“The Executive Order ‘Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government’ applies to the Federal government/Federal government agencies only and does not inhibit the force of Maine law or locally-adopted school board policies,” said the DOE in a priority notice on January 21, even before the latest White House executive order was issued.
While the state’s education department is currently holding firm in its commitment to the gender ideology that says a boy can identify as the opposite gender and compete against girls, and share their locker rooms and bathrooms, it may soon be forced to capitulate in the face of federal penalties.
President Trump’s latest order would remove all federal funding from educational programs that allow males to compete in girls’ sports.
It also directs the U.S. Department of Justice to prioritize enforcement of Title IX laws banning sexual discrimination against schools that fail to provide girls with an equal opportunity by allowing men to compete against them.
“This is demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls, and denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports,” said Trump in his order.
Maine is being ruined by this greedy, obstinate administration. The usual explanation, which is probably about right, is Maine politics are driven by wealthy transient residents who own expensive shorefront properties but live in Maine only during warm months and have zero understanding of the state or of the people who have lived here for generations. It’s a classic form of elite takeover based on smarmy ideological considerations which are entirely disconnected from the real lives of real people. ABN
Trump established a similar office at the White House during his first term and regularly consulted with a tight group of evangelical advisers.
But the move sparked fury from Christian leaders who believe that White, a megachurch pastor from Florida, preaches an interpretation of the gospel that critics argue exploits the most vulnerable.
White teaches followers that God will reward them if they donate to her church, going as far as to suggest precise sums over a thousand dollars to ensure their ‘salvation’.
‘This is an abomination,’ wrote Christian motivational speaker Scott Ross on X.
‘She preaches the heresies of Word of Faith & Prosperity Gospel, both utterly opposed to authentic Christianity. Worse, she has lived a life of scandal, with multiple husbands, twisting the Gospel for profit.’
The teachings of the minister, who is married to rockstar and Journey lead singer Jonathan Cain, have nevertheless rubbed off on Trump who first contacted her by phone in 2002 after watching one of her TV shows.
UPDATE: Emerald seems to be one of the few prominent voices who understands that we are dealing with very formidable enemies who are living among us in disguise. And they are backed by powerful states with practicably unlimited resources. They work in secret and destroy as many talented people as they can while also doing everything they can to undermine our society. The results we see today which have been unfolding for many decades prove the point. A clandestine infiltration is typically never going to reveal itself by a smoking gun. But consider how far and how fast we have fallen; consider the border; consider the fentanyl deaths. ABN
If you thought the USAID revelations were alarming sunlight, just wait until you see the apoplectic fits of rage about to come out from the Democrats, the DNC affiliated community activist groups, and the professional leftists who all rely upon the financial mechanism of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
According to a Politico article (also funded by USAID money), written with stunning amount of anger and apoplexy itself, Elon Musk’s DOGE team has just entered the CFPB to do a review and audit. This one is going to be beyond bananas.
Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, tell Ma, to fire up the coffee pot, we are in for a delicious treat. There’s no way for the DC outrage machine to handle this dose of Trumpian nitrous oxide directly into the intake manifold. The machine will explode.
BACKGROUND FIRST– The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB) was originally created by congress (Elizabeth Warren lead) as a quasi-constitutional watchdog agency to reach into the banking and financial system, under the guise of oversight, and extract money by fining entities for CFPB defined regulatory and/or compliance violations
Essentially, the CFPB is a congressionally authorized far-left extortion scheme in the banking sector. The CFPB levies fines; the fines generate income; however, unlike traditional fines that go to the U.S. treasury, the CFBP fines are then redistributed to left-wing organizations to help fund their political activism.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren as an outcome of the Dodd-Frank legislation. Within the CFPB Warren tried to set up the head of the agency, the Director, in a manner that that he/she would operate without oversight. Unfortunately, her dictatorial-fiat-design collapsed when challenged in court. Backstory #1 – Backstory #2
A federal court found the CFPB Director position held too much power and deemed it unconstitutional. The court decision noted that giving the President power to fire the Director would fix the constitutional problem. This issue was argued extensively after President Trump appointed Mick Mulvaney as interim Director. Elizabeth Warren declaring the CFPB Director could not be fired by the executive. The legal battle worked its way to the Supreme Court.
In Treasury’s basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting.
“We’re in,” Akash Bobba messaged the team. “All of it.”
Edward Coristine’s code had already mapped three subsystems. Luke Farritor’s algorithms were tracing payment flows across agencies. Ethan Shaotran’s analysis revealed patterns that career officials didn’t even know existed. By dawn, they would understand more about Treasury’s operations than people who had worked there for decades.
This wasn’t a hack. This wasn’t a breach. This was authorized disruption.
While career bureaucrats prepared orientation packets and welcome memos, DOGE’s team was already deep inside the payment systems. No committees. No approvals. No red tape. Just four coders with unprecedented access and algorithms ready to run.
“The beautiful thing about payment systems,” noted a transition official watching their screens, “is that they don’t lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail.”
That trail led to staggering discoveries. Programs marked as independent revealed coordinated funding streams. Grants labeled as humanitarian aid showed curious detours through complex networks. Black budgets once shrouded in secrecy began to unravel under algorithmic scrutiny.
…The scale was breathtaking:
EPA climate initiatives? Not just mapped—found unauthorized programs in 47 states. Education’s DEI maze? Not just exposed—revealed coordination across 1,200 programs. Intelligence community black budgets? Not just traced—uncovered patterns hidden for 30 years.
“The administrative state runs on two things,” a senior advisor explained, watching patterns emerge across DOGE’s screens. “Control of information and money flows.” His eyes tracked new connections forming in real-time. “We’re not just exposing their networks—we’re rewriting their DNA.”
The cracks began showing in unexpected places. A career EPA director, tears streaming: “Everything we built…” A USAID veteran, hands shaking: “They’re inside all of it…” A Treasury lifer, closing his office: “They move faster than we can think.”
…DOGE’s algorithms weren’t just programs—they were archaeology tools, excavating decades of buried networks. Each data point connected to another. Each discovery revealed new targets. Each pattern exposed larger systems.
“It’s beautiful,” one of the coders whispered, watching connections form across his screen. “Like watching a galaxy map itself.”
For the permanent bureaucracy, this wasn’t just change. It was an extinction-level event. Their power came from controlling who got paid, when they got paid, and what they got paid for. Now those controls were evaporating like dawn burning away darkness.
This is a great read. I am not sure how much is fiction and how much is inside knowledge. It has the ring of what we fucking want if not entirely of truth, though maybe. I just posted a few excerpts above. The whole article is much better, so be sure to check it out. ABN
Propaganda orgy, incestuous FAFO ideology with condoms for HAMAS and illegals breaking the taxpayers ass. Party’s over, bitches. I hope for a very long time. ABN
This is the result of a clandestine military strategy designed to attack, above all, talented white boys and young men. These attacks have been ongoing for many decades. Turning women against white men has been another very successful battlefront. If you are a white male, you have definitely experienced these attacks at least in soft form. If you or your talented brother suddenly went off the rails, you can be pretty sure he was poisoned or lobotomized, one of the their favorite techniques because it just takes a few minutes and the results are lifelong. When you are in a war like this, you have to look far beneath the surface and use your imagination because concrete evidence is hard to find because that’s how the game is played. It’s simple game theory, once you understand it. Ruthless and, obviously, hugely successful, as Ricardo despairs, and so do I. ABN
Attorney General Pam Bondi warned sanctuary cities they ‘are going to be next’ if local officials continue to harbor and protect illegal aliens over the safety of citizens.
Speaking with Fox News‘ Sean Hannity, Bondi, 59, shared how under her leadership the Justice Department sued the city of Chicago and its mayor Brandon Johnson earlier in the day over its progressive sanctuary policies.
‘Not only did we sue today the city of Chicago, we sued the state of Illinois, we sued the mayor, we sued the governor, and we sued others,’ she said.
The Department of Justice also put a pause on all federal funding to sanctuary states and cities and nonprofits, according to a memo Bondi sent out Thursday.
When asked about whether the sanctuary city and states were aiding and abetting the illegal migrants, the AG didn’t pass up a moment to make the new Trump directives crystal clear.
‘What they’re doing is they are choosing illegal aliens over the safety and security of their own citizens and the men and women of law enforcement who are out there trying to protect their citizens,’ Bondi responded.
‘And let me be very clear, if you don’t comply with federal law, you’re going to be next,’ Bondi proclaimed, putting those who harbor the migrants on notice.
They are flipping out because the gravy train of illegals is stopping. The more illegals they bring in with taxpayer money, the more money the federal government has been giving them. It’s a big circular gravy train from which many apparently can offload as much cash as they like. Chelsea Clinton reportedly scored $84m when the train last passed her house. Her husband, btw, is George Soros’ nephew, so neither of them needs that money nor will they put it to good use. We are ruled by large groups. Trump is in a different group from them. The groups are fighting. Trump is winning right now. Trump and his group are better; they seem to like ordinary Americans and have decent consideration for our needs. That’s why I support them. Do not expect to ever see some fantasy Ben Franklin USA. That’s never gonna happen. But with AI and the creative energy of Trump’s group we might see a really good version of USA become established well enough to endure for a long time. Not everybody at the top is a greedy asshole. Right now, we are living in the most positive and dynamic time in American history. ABN
