Links between "Organization for New Americans" and various NGO's to scumbag mayors/governors in Illinois/Colorado.



Very long thread. This map ties ICIRR (Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights) to several other big tax payer funded NGOs.
  • World Relief - Chicagoland (a subsidiary of World Relief Corp) $136M,
  • The Resurrection Project $19.6M
  • Immigration Project - $21M
  • Others are linked in research, but not on map like- Chicago Refugee Coalition
The human trafficking/invasion was/is big business, and was used directly to impact political campaigns/elections in Dem cities/states to put the most radical people into office and control their actions.

That Abrams clip is infuriating. She has absolutely no problem with going to this town and spending millions of taxpayer dollars buying 75% of the homes all new energy efficient appliances and then patting herself on the back that they all lowered their electric bills. One by a whopping $82 per month.

Then to top it off, the EPA says fantastic and signs off on more.

It's not the federal government's job to buy people new appliances. This is how you get 37 trillion dollars in debt.

It's all infuriating.




All of it. And it's still in the 'continuing resolution' the GOP wants to…pass today.

Hopefully common sense will prevail and they will strip that out. Makes no sense at all that the funding would be included. The Republicans need to ride the wave of momentum and knock off the nonsense.

It makes sense to them if many of their spouses and children are in on the take at USAID funded NGOs.

If that is true, its another reason the Iraq War should have been investigated. Neocons have been working to destabilize events since the century began. It would also be another instance where it is wrong to deny US culpability in the Ukraine unraveling.

This is why Treasury needs to start civil forfeiture procedures.

All it takes is one conservative judge to say that these funds are likely fraudulent by a "preponderance of the evidence", and Treasury can sue the bank accounts (not Citi, the accounts themselves, the actual cash becomes the defendant), and make sure that these funds are not released.

Many of them are on the take.

Lol. Contract canceled. Pound sand. Don't ever release the money.

Let me gues what they would be spending their 6.2 billion on.

5.3 billion- salary
1 billion- sending to dem reps
700 million- paying protestors
0- actually doing things to stop climate change

Sorry, 7 billion

Must be starting to get tough making payments on those vacation homes

Pretty bold move on the part of the corrupt POSs behind this. It is a massive pile of our money though.

Someone tell them there's a new sheriff in town, and then investigate/prosecute the hell out of them.

There might literally be no end to this BS.

No words are available to describe the feeling. It is truly unbelievable that there are so many Americans who have not a care in the world throwing so much of our damned-hard earned money straight out the window.

I want to know how much was skimmed or kicked back and to who. I want to know now.

I want tax cuts after seeing all this waste.
Trump will fix it.

They really do owe every adult American citizen a multi thousand check like 5K to make up for this.

The PR of getting "free" money compliments of DOGE could be a game changer for those barely paying attention. This movement to save America will need a majority of voters for years, obviously, so get more on board any chance you get.

If budgets are simultaneously cut, in my simple mind there should be no inflation worries of the disbursement/return of our money. Do it orange man.

I'm thinking along these lines as well…give the people a nice big check, tell them DOGE got it done for them, and then see if you can get the people to force their reps to codify the savings permanently (by way of writing laws to eliminate the loopholes that permit the bull**** spending on bull**** things in the first place)…

I'm just not a big fan of buying votes a la Dems (This seems vaguely similar to when Obama tried mailing out checks to Americans saying it was from his 'America invests act' with his name on them). I'm fine with tax cuts once we get to a reasonably balanced budget and stable money supply, but we are a long way from that right now.

We need to focus on supporting free trade agreements and an economic resurgence thanks to smaller government/cheap energy/less regulatory challenges in the meantime, imho. Just my two cents.

The rub becomes codifying it though…

We can focus on those things all we want, but it's a short term focus, fueled by EOs, until enough folks in Congress are motivated to codify things permanently…

I don't know the math, but I'm guessing that's 10s of billions of dollars. That should go towards the debt. The faster we can right the ship, the better it is for everyone. I'd rather see taxes go down and some changes that are long lasting and sustainable.

Make the government work for the people again. Get rid of the rot and waste. Implement term limits. Implement restrictions on what investments federal employees can make. Just overall market performance or something. There should never be something like a Pelosi stock tracker. Elected officials should not see their wealth increase exponentially while in office.

It certainly is. The Democrats, with a big assist from both hapless and big spending Republicans, were using our own money to turn this country into just another socialistic craphole.

Honestly, it should be enough to have near 100% turnover in Congress this next election. Every American should be rightly furious and demand their elected officials either support the President and provide immediate fixes to the system or else get ready to get booted off the gravy train.

When we get to the point where we have a budget surplus including paying significant money towards the existing debt, then we can consider free money giveaways. As long as we are still running a budget deficit, we have no business giving money away to anybody, including giving it back to people paying taxes. Especially because you know it won't be given back to the people who paid it in, it will be mostly given to the nearly 50% that don't pay any taxes already.

I am pretty sure that even Congress is not stupid enough to further fund USAID by statute at this point.

I think you could probably find close to $2 trillion in cuts due to fraud and programs spent on dumb or harmful foreign aide.

I am pretty sure it is foolish to underestimate how stupid congress can be (particularly the GOP-e types) when it comes to funding a grift that their wives, children, close family members, and major campaign contributors are benefitting from to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

My question would be what was the graft at USAID prior to Covid versus now. We know it was there, but the marxists used Covid to massively increase spending and money printing. They never let a crisis go to waste.

That's a good point because I'd think if they dramatically increased spending with Covid funds then why can't they Executive just clawback funds that weren't Covid related?
