Tea at Trianon: NGO Fraud Racket

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

NGO Fraud Racket

From Tierney's Real News:

Our elected officials have very little power relative to the bureaucracy. DOGE is a threat to the bureaucracy.
It’s shocking. One person was getting $1.9 billion sent to their NGO which basically got formed about a year ago and had no prior activity - so they just set up non-governmental organizations and fund them by the government. No real oversight.
These nonprofits become very wealthy - they pay themselves enormous sums through these nonprofits. That's been going on for so long it's a gigantic scam like one of the biggest maybe the biggest scam ever. There are probably millions of NGOs.
Soros was really good at this. He figured out how to hack the system. He’s a genius at arbitrage. [Arbitrage is the practice of buying and selling an asset at different prices in different markets to make a profit.] He figured out that you could leverage a small amount of money to create a nonprofit and then lobby [pay off] politicians to send a ton of taxpayer money to that nonprofit so that he can can take a $10 million donation to a non-profit (from the Government) and leverage that into a billion dollar non-profit NGO.
{Soros isn’t spending HIS money - he’s using taxpayer money for his schemes and most of it is funneled through USAID or the CIA.]
It'll have a nice sounding name like the “Institute for Peace” or something like that. They just get grants and I think a lot of people in the government know that they are not doing good work - it's a giant grift. (Read more.)

From The Vigilant Fox:

The data scientist revealed that “States United Democracy Center,” an NGO co-founded by Norm Eisen, received $17M—and “the only thing they did with $17M was make a terrible muppet show.”
“That’s (explicit word)!” she exclaimed.
“They got money, and they did something with that. It was just awful. Jim Henson would roll in his grave. And it was weird because all the videos have less than 200 views,” DataRepublican explained.
“They didn’t even try to promote them with ads or anything. So where did the $17 million go?” she asked.
Shortly after this interview aired, DataRepublican revealed she was doxxed in a viral post on X.
After being doxxed, DataRepublican shared more details about herself to take back control of the narrative. She revealed her real name as Jennica Pounds, a 100% Deaf and nonverbal database kernel engineer with expressive dysphasia related to autism. (Read more.)
