– They produced and distributed a slick video telling active-duty troops and intelligence officers to disobey future orders from the Commander-in-Chief before those orders even exist.

The leaders of the House Armed Services Committee said late Saturday they are seeking “full accounting” of an early September U.S. military attack against an alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean after a report alleged that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered U.S. troops to “kill everybody” aboard the vessel…
They are pretty bloody obvious when you catch on to what they are up to.

Nongovernmental Organizations
This has been an interesting journey with unexpected insights and connections. Let’s start with a bit of history.
…The modern wealthy philanthropists of today stand alongside past contributors from the ancient Greeks to the clergy of the Middle Ages, donating time and resources to those less fortunate.
Charitable giving has been an aspect of human culture for many thousands of years, and there are historical records of charity dating back at least to the ancient Egyptians of almost five thousand years ago. People have always depended upon the kindness of strangers
Did you know?
Ancient Hebrews of 2500 BC installed a mandatory tax that was intended to assist the poor – this was referred to as a “tithe”.
The word “philanthropy” comes from the ancient Greek and means “love of mankind”. It first appeared in the classical Greek drama “Prometheus Bound” by Aeschylus. The ancient Greeks considered philanthropy to be a fundamental aspect of democracy.
Chinese ancients exalted benevolence as a virtue.
According to Hindu scriptures, giving to the less fortunate is imperative.
In 387 BC, Plato’s Academy was established; it was a group of volunteers working for the public good…
“…The modern wealthy philanthropists of today stand alongside past contributors from the ancient Greeks to the clergy of the Middle Ages, donating time and resources to those less fortunate…“
…When the evictions failed to end the strike, the Rockefeller interests hired private detectives that attacked the tent colonies with rifles and Gatling guns. The miners fought back, and several were killed. When the tenacity of the strikers became apparent, the Rockefellers approached the governor of Colorado, who authorized the use of the National Guard…. At first, the strikers believed that the government had sent the National Guard to protect them. They soon discovered, though, that the militia was under orders to break the strike. On this day in 1914, two companies of guardsmen attacked the largest tent colony of strikers near the town of Ludlow, home to about 1,000 men, women, and children. The attack began in the morning with a barrage of bullets fired into the tents. The miners shot back with pistols and rifles.
After a strike leader was killed while attempting to negotiate a truce, the strikers feared the attack would intensify. To stay safe from gunfire, women and children took cover in pits dug beneath the tents. At dusk, guardsmen moved down from the hills and set the tent colony on fire with torches, shooting at the families as they fled into the hills. The true carnage, however, was not discovered until the next day, when a telephone linesman discovered a pit under one of the tents filled with the burned remains of 11 children and two women.
Although the “Ludlow Massacre” outraged many Americans, the tragedy did little to help…
As a result Rockefeller was so hated he hired a propagandist to clean up his public image.
Not only did Lee work for Rockefeller and other industrialists; he worked for the Nazis. The article whitewashes the Ludlow Massacre as well as it can BTW.

Of course charities and foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation, founded in 1913 by John D. Rockefeller Sr., were very, very good at protecting the wealth’s money and assets from taxation. On top of that they could be used to influence the direction of the USA.
However the big foundations with the names such as Ford, Carnegie, and Rockefeller attached still had a bit of a nasty smell attached especially for labor unions and communists.
It is difficult to believe that philanthropy—literally, “love of all mankind”—could possibly be malignant. When one reads of the millions of dollars donated to health schemes by the Rockefeller and Bill and Melinda Gates foundations, for example,¹ it is close to sacrilegious to suggest that such initiatives might be other than they seem. Yet I claim something close in this book, in which I analyze the influence of American foundations on U.S. foreign affairs from the 1930s to the “war on terror.” Philanthropic foundations, I argue, have been a key means of building the “American century,”…
Worth a look see.
This to me is a better representation of J.D. Rockefeller and his connection to modern medicine.
Since the plan was to use Communism/Fabian Socialism to rebuild the post world wars as a one world government, the foundations of the wealthy had to fade into the background. ALSO if you were planning to destroy American farmers as was planned by the Committee for Economic Development (see LINK ) you had to get rid of the power of the local churches, which are the REAL charities.
Most churches in America have organized as “501c3 tax-exempt religious organizations.” This is a fairly recent trend that has only been going on for about fifty years. Churches were only added to section 501c3 of the tax code in 1954. We can thank Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson for that. Johnson was no ally of the church. As part of his political agenda, Johnson had it in mind to silence the church and eliminate the significant influence the church had always had on shaping “public policy.”
Although Johnson proffered this as a “favor” to churches, the favor also came with strings attached (more like shackles)...
For a 501c3 church to openly speak out, or organize in opposition to, anything that the government declares “legal,” even if it is immoral (e.g. abortion, homosexuality, etc.), that church will jeopardize its tax exempt status. The 501c3 has had a “chilling effect” upon the free speech rights of the church…
Were churches prior to 1954 taxable? No, churches have never been taxable. To be taxable a church would first need to be under the jurisdiction, and therefore under the taxing authority, of the government. The First Amendment clearly places the church outside the jurisdiction of the civil government: “Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”…
ENTER STAGE LEFT NGOs
NGOs have been around for a long time but they got a major boost from the United Nations in 1945.
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are crucial in addressing 👉global👈 humanitarian challenges. These mission-driven entities operate independently from government control, focusing primarily on social, humanitarian, and environmental issues. There are about 1.5 million NGOs in the United States alone. Both in the U.S. and internationally, they are found wherever humanity’s challenges are greatest.1
While their name suggests complete independence from government institutions, many NGOs receive some government funding alongside private donations and other revenue sources. This creates shifting dynamics based on levels of state support and the wishes of major donors.
The term “NGO” was introduced in the United Nations Charter in 1945, highlighting their role as voluntary citizen groups working for the public good.2 Since then, NGOs have become influential actors in international development, advocacy, and humanitarian aid.
According to the World Bank, NGOs can be broadly categorized into two main categories:3
Operational NGOs: These organizations focus on designing and implementing development-related projects.
Advocacy NGOs: These organizations promote specific causes by raising awareness, lobbying, and influencing policies. They work to shape the social and political landscape around particular issues.
These organizations operate at all levels (from local to international) and work to address issues such as poverty, human rights, health care, education, and environmental protection.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are now recognised as key third sector actors on the landscapes of development, human rights, humanitarian action, environment, and many other areas of public action, from the post-2004 tsunami reconstruction efforts in Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, to the 2005 Make Poverty History campaign for aid and trade reform and developing country debt cancellation. As these two examples illustrate, NGOs are best-known for two different, but often interrelated, types of activity – the delivery of services to people in need, and the organization of policy advocacy, and public campaigns in pursuit of social transformation. NGOs are also active in a wide range of other specialized roles such as democracy building, conflict resolution, human rights work, cultural preservation, environmental activism, policy analysis, research, and information provision. This chapter mainly confines itself to a discussion of NGOs in the international development context, but much of its argument also applies to NGOs more widely…
NGOs have existed for centuries; indeed, in 1910 some 130 international groups organized a coordinating body called the Union of International Associations. The term nongovernmental organization was coined at about the time of the founding of the United Nations (UN) in 1945 to distinguish private organizations from intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), such as the UN itself. Many large international NGOs, such as Amnesty International, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Oxfam International, CARE, Save the Children, and the World Wildlife Fund, are transnational federations of national groups. Other international NGOs, such as Greenpeace and the Sierra Club, are mass-membership organizations. Most NGOs are small, grassroots organizations not formally affiliated with any international body, though they may receive some international funding for local programs….
ENTER MAURICE STRONG THE ROCKEFELLER PUPPET.
Remember Maurice Strong, Chair of the First Earth Summit in 1972 that started CAGW? The guy who said “…current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class…are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmentally damaging consumption patterns….” in his opening remarks at Earth Summit II in 1992.
In brief Maurice Strong worked in the Middle East for a Rockefeller company, Caltex, in 1953. He left Caltex in 1954 to worked at high levels in banking and oil. By 1971, he served as a trustee for the Rockefeller Foundation, and in 1972 was Secretary-General of the U.N. Conference on the Human Environment. He was Co-founder of the WWF and Senior Advisor to the World Bank and the UN.
…In 1951 Strong married, and in 1952, abruptly sold his home, quit his job and took a world cruise. He wound up in Nairobi and took a job with CalTex, a company formed to exploit Saudi oil. His job involved travel to exotic parts of the world for two years. Strong visited his distant cousin, Robbins Strong, in Geneva, who was the Secretary of the Extension and Intermovement Aid Division of the international YMCA. He met Leonard Hentsch whose Swiss bank handled the money of the YMCA. Strong wanted to become an international ambassador for the YMCA, but settled for a position on the International Committee of the U.S.A. and Canada which raised funds for the YMCA.
This experience may have been the genesis of Strong’s realization that NGOs (non-government organizations) provide an excellent way to use NGOs to couple the money from philanthropists and business with the objectives of government. In 1959, Strong created his own company, MF Strong Management. While serving as executive vice-president of Canada’s Power Corporation, he also ran his own company, Alberta gas company, another company called Ajax, and elevated his role in the international YMCA and Canada’s Liberal Party. He told Elaine Dewar, “We controlled many companies, controlled political budgets. We influenced a lot of appointments…. Politicians got to know you and you them.”[5]
…Strong worked for the Rockefellers in Saudi Arabia (oil) in the fifties. Maurice Strong is a member of the Club of Rome, a Rockefeller Foundation trustee and senior adviser to the World Bank. It is instructive to read Strong’s 1972 Stockholm speech and compare it with the issues of Earth Summit 1992. Strong warned urgently about global warming, the devastation of forests, the loss of biodiversity, polluted oceans, the population time bomb. Then as now, he invited to the conference the brand-new environmental NGOs [non-governmental organizations]: he gave them money to come; they were invited to raise hell at home. After Stockholm, environment issues became part of the administrative framework in Canada, the U.S., Britain, and Europe….
THE Commission also wants to strengthen “global civil society,” which, it explains, “is best expressed in the global non-governmental movement.” Today, there are nearly 15,000 NGOs. More than 1,200 of them have consultative status with the UN’s Economic and Social Council (up from 41 in 1948). The CGG wants NGOs to be brought formally into the UN system (no wonder Kenneth Minogue calls this Acronymia). So it proposes that representatives of such organizations be accredited to the General Assembly as “Civil Society Organizations” and convened in an annual Forum of Civil Society. But how would these representatives be selected? This June, the General Assembly held a session on environmental issues called Earth Summit +5. President Razali selected a number of representatives from the NGOs and the private sector for the exclusive privilege of speaking in the plenary sessions. “I have gone to a lot of trouble with this, choosing the right NGOs,” he declared. So whom did he choose?… This kind of international gabfest is, of course, a sinister parody of democracy. “Very few of even the larger international NGOs are operationally democratic, in the sense that members elect officers or direct policy on particular issues,” notes Peter Spiro. “Arguably it is more often money than membership that determines influence, and money more often represents the support of centralized elites, such as major foundations, than of the grass roots.” (The CGG has benefited substantially from the largesse of the MacArthur, Carnegie, and Ford Foundations.)
…The most important initiative is the recommendation that the General Assembly organize a “Millennium Assembly” and a companion “People’s Assembly” in the year 2000. (The “People’s Assembly” mirrors the CGG’s “Civil Society Forum” idea — among other things,only accredited NGOs would be invited to advise the General Assembly.)…
The following is a bit of a whitewash but shows how the game is played. “Democracy” is shifted from actual people to NGOs who are actually run by the oligarchs.
