This is the article Word Piss trashed several weeks ago.

I thought I would address NGOs – Non government Organizations – because they are a favorite weapon of the Cabal. An excellent example of the weaponization is in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Synopsis FROM THE US GOVERNMENT

It is interesting that 10 years later that website is still up.🤔

This treaty literally strips the USA of sovereignty and allows totalitarian rule by Corporations and bureaucrats with a bit of help from NGOs to add a veneer of ‘democracy.’

DISPUTE SETTLEMENT

….TPP Parties aim to have these disputes resolved through impartial, unbiased panels. … Panels will consider requests from non-governmental entities located in the territory of any disputing Party to provide written views regarding the dispute to panels during dispute settlement proceedings…

“Only five of the 29 chapters are about traditional trade. The others are about regulating the Internet and what Internet—Internet service providers have to collect information.

They have to hand it over to companies under certain circumstances. It’s about regulating labor, what labor conditions can be applied, regulating, whether you can favor local industry, regulating the hospital healthcare system, privatization of hospitals.

So, essentially, every aspect of the modern economy, even banking services, are in the TPP.”

Mike Benz on NGOs

Rough synopsis:

Mike Benz points to 1913 and1917 the set up of non-profit ‘charitable organizations’ used by the wealthy to protect their wealth. think 501c3’s. This caused a money flow into private organizations and non profits. Then with the World Wars esp WWII humanitarian relief began. They became a big part of the OSS, the predecessor to the CIA. These NGOs were espcially involved with the Marshall plan after WWII. NGOs became a deniable front to run money to contacts and to provide direction and guidance to groups the USA did not want to be caught interacting with directly.

…….

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 Saudi Arabia 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.

Strong’s early work with YMCA international “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.” Maurice Strong: The new guy in your future! By Henry Lamb January, 1997

Strong was a member of the Club of Rome, a Rockefeller Foundation trustee and senior adviser to the World Bank.

As Elaine Dewar wrote in Toronto’s Saturday Night magazine:

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: 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.

WHO IS   MAURICE STRONG? By Ronald Bailey  Published in The National Review September 1, 1997

“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 [Commission on Global Governance -GC] has benefited substantially from the largesse of the MacArthur, Carnegie, and Ford Foundations….

From Jeff at Coffee & Covid

…One of Marxist revolutionaries’ most effective tactics wasn’t literally storming the palace— it was slyly capturing the certification process. Antonio Gramsci, the Italian communist theoretician, called it “the long march through the institutions,” meaning to infiltrate cultural organs not with guns, but with gatekeeping power.

The USSR mastered this model early, building parallel structures of party-approved unions, academic boards, and scientific councils—each vouching for the ideological purity of the others. In the West, the same approach evolved, virus-like, into a web of cross-reinforcing credentialing bodies: bar associations, accreditation boards, medical colleges, journal editorial committees—all marching in rhetorical lockstep.

They all work together. One group sets the guidelines, another “independently” evaluates compliance, and a third awards legitimacy. It’s Marxism in a business suit or a lab coat, spouting peer-reviewed footnotes. By the time anyone asks who made them the arbiters, they’ve already rewritten the standards and discredited anyone not compliant with the guidelines…

The Courts Are Courting Disaster by Alienating Conservatives — Kurt Schlichter

…The problem with the courts is the same as the problem with many of our other institutions. Called the Skinsuit Phenomenon, after the great @Iowahawk’s famous tweet that perfectly sums up the leftist approach to marching through our society: “1. Identify a respected institution. 2. Kill it. 3. Gut it. 4. Wear its carcass as a skinsuit, while demanding respect. #lefties.”…

When we were fighting National Animal ID and then the Food safety Modernization act, we found that Organic Consumers and Food and Water Watch were wearing Skinsuits.

Food and Water Watch had some really good info on the USDA and FDA and the corporate revolving door. But when crunch time came we found they were on the side of the big corporations.

From my old research decades ago on Food and Water Watch

Board of Directors:

Dennis Keeney is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy

Corporate Accountability International, an NGO in Official Relations with the World Health Organization (WHO)

The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy

$2,320,000.00 1995 – 2005

(IATP) was founded in 1986 with funds from the Unitarian Universalist Church’s Veatch Foundation (which was, at the time, run by a former Greenpeace director). Its apparent mission is to criticize industrial agriculture in general and food technology in particular.

In addition to its constant rant against genetically improved foods, IATP works behind the scenes in international bodies like the World Trade Organization to increase regulatory and trade burdens for countries that don’t practice enough “sustainable” agriculture. The Foundation for Deep Ecology gave IATP $75,000 in 1999 for this exact purpose. “Sustainable” agriculture refers to the move away from new technologies and toward more “natural” (read: organic) ways of producing food.

Here in the United States, IATP uses its activist network to strong-arm American corporations into endorsing its politically-correct trading model, which includes importing more food from “sustainable” growers in other countries.

Mark Ritchie: President, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy; Chair, International Forum on Food and Agriculture (a project of the Int’l Forum on Globalization)

Connection to Tides:

The Tides Center’s corporate registration documents on file in Minnesota show that Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) president Mark Ritchie is its “registered agent.” This might explain why the Tides Foundation has paid over $20,000 to a commercial corporation owned by Ritchie and his brother.

However the real winner was Maude Barlow who STILL Chairs the board of Washington DC -based Food and Water Watch.

In 2008, after selling US Farmers out, this Canadian became Senior Advisor on Water to the 63rd President of the United Nations General Assembly.

Maude Barlow Addresses UN General Assembly — April 24, 2009 

Food & Water Watch Board Chair Maude Barlow addressed the United Nations General Assembly today to support the Bolivian call for an annual “International Mother Earth Day” celebration. Her speech was a call to action to implement the human right to water and abandon the “hard path” of large-scale technology  – dams, diversion and desalination  – in favor of the “soft path” of conservation, rainwater and storm water harvesting, recycling, alternative energy use, municipal infrastructure investment and local, sustainable food production….

Organic Consumers sold us out too. I made a phone call and the lady apologetically told me the board was supporting the Food Safety Modernization act.

This is more of what I have in my notes:

I could not understand WHY Organic Consumers Assoc and Food and Water Watch were in favor of this bill. Until I did some digging: Maude Barlow a “no dog in this fight” Canadian, is a director of both. She has been handsomely rewarded for selling the US consumer out with an appointment as New Senior Advisor to the UN president on October 21, 2008. Note on February 18, 2008 “Hillary Clinton highlights a series of food safety proposals she would pursue as president.” (PRNewsChannel) / Washington, D.C

Organic Consumers Association $57,176.00 2000 – 2005 Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors

And then there was ‘Orange Cloud’ who fought online against us.

Who is Orange Cloud that attacks those against the bogus food safety bills?

She lists herself as Jill Richardson Consultant but she is “UC San Diego” Sustainability Coordinator and is working on the practical aspects of UN Agenda 21 as far as I can tell.

For example:

“Currently, we are particularly interested in receiving manuscripts that deal with some of the following subjects, although other submissions will continue to receive full consideration:

Implementing sustainable development strategies, Rio-Agenda 21 and Millennium Development” Objectives: The Journal of Environment and Development

Graduate School of International Relations & Pacific Studies

University of California, San Diego, MC0519

9500 Gilman Drive

La Jolla, CA 92037-0519, USA

Raymond Clemencon another facultiy member, was one of the negotiators on the Rio Declaration and then Agenda 21

Is there a Monsanto – University of California at San Diego connection? YES!

Bioinformatics researchers at the University of California, San Diego and Genentech have developed a new, quicker way to sequence monoclonal antibodies http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/19205

Monsanto bought 5% on Genetech, Genentech’s bovine growth hormone — licensed to Monsanto Corporation, In 1979, Monsanto coordinated a research program with Genentech,

UCSD’s Biotech Certificates Program is admired as the most advanced in the UC system.

Closer to the Heart of the San Diego ‘Biotech Zone’: The Program’s Service Goals

The UCSD RA Program classes recently moved to the San Diego ‘Biotech Zone’–into the same building as a major CRO, Parexel, and only blocks from another big CRO, Quintiles. Both CROs will contribute RA experts to classroom discussions of topics. Nearby are also the new headquarters of Novartis, represented on the Advisory Board of UCSD Biotech Certificates Programs, as is Invitrogen. Other Advisory Board members, Monsanto and Dow, together with its hometown subsidiary Mycogen, demonstrate regional strengths in agbiotech (which is expected to “absolutely boom” in the near future). The newest UCSD Certificate in Agricultural Biotech is under development, since the UCSD Biotech Certificates program aims to be comprehensive and progressive in service to all biotech sectors.

So I agree with Kurt Schlichter we have a major Skinsuit problem.

……….

G Edward Griffin warned us about buying POWER using tax payer money.

A Talk by G. Edward Griffin

…I think it’s time for a new definition of usury as follows: any interest on any loan of fiat money (meaning money made out of nothing). This example of a $100,000 home, as shocking as it is, producing $172,741 unearned interest, this is just a grain of sand in the Sahara. You have to multiply that by all the homes in America, by all of these hotels in America, all the high-rise buildings, all the factories, all the airplanes, automobiles, farm equipment, schools, everything, all the physical assets of America. You apply this same ratio and can you see it in your mind? We’re talking about a river of unearned wealth that is so wide you can’t even think of crossing it, flowing perpetually into the banking cartel. A dead short across the productive element of society. Money being taken from people who are working hard providing the material and the labor. They don’t even know that this is being taken from them and it’s in this huge river of wealth flowing into the banking cartel. It’s a staggering thought.

You are led to the question of where is this river flowing?…

They’re not buying more yachts and mansions with this money, they’ve already got all of those they possibly want. In fact they got rid of the mansions on Jekyll Island a long time ago because they were bored with that. That’s not it. When a person has all the wealth that you could possibly want for the material pleasures of life, what is left? Power. They are using this river of wealth to acquire power over you and me and our children.

They are spending it to acquire control over the power centers of society. The power centers are those groups and institutions through which individuals live and act and rely on for their information. They are literally buying up the world but not the real estate and the hardware, they’re buying control over the organizations, the groups and institutions that control people. In other words, to be specific, they are buying control over politicians, political parties, television networks, cable networks, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, wire services, motion picture studios, universities, labor unions, church organizations, trade associations, tax-exempt foundations, multi-national corporations, boy scouts, girl scouts, you name it. Make your own list of organizations and you will find that this is where those people have been for many decades spending this river of wealth to acquire operational control particularly over those institutions and individuals, those organizations that represent opposition to themselves. That’s a critical area for expenditure on their part.

This process has gone on not only to a marked degree in America and in the other industrialized nations of the world, but it has gone on in the so-called third world or underdeveloped nations to such a degree that I would say the process is now complete. They own these countries already. Have you ever wondered what’s going on there at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank? Kind of an obscure operation isn’t it? you don’t read much about it except once in a while on the back page of the newspaper you find out that Congress at the insistence of the President authorized another $100 billion for the International Monetary Fund. And then the article tells you that this money will be used to make loans to underdeveloped nations or grants to them to raise their standard of living. Do you believe that?… If the money is to be used to raise the standard of living of these countries they’re not doing a very good job of it because after all of these decades, after all of these hundreds of billions of dollars, you cannot point to one country that has had its standard of living raised one iota by that. In fact in most cases it’s the other way around and that’s not an accident because the money has not been used to raise the standard of living. The money does not go to the people in those countries. It goes to the politicians of those countries, to their governments and the money is designed and spent to strengthen their power structures, their ability to control their populations. They usually start off as inefficient dictatorships but by the time they get all this money from the IMF, they are now efficient dictatorships. They have a well-equipped army, a better bureaucracy, total control of their subjects. That’s where the money’s being spent…

That last sure does dovetail nicely with Colonel Towner’s Operation Gladio doesn’t it?

Historians neglecting Robber Barons

… Over the last quarter-century, historians have by and large ceased writing about the role of ruling elites in the country’s evolution. Or if they have taken up the subject, they have done so to argue against its salience for grasping the essentials of American political history. Yet there is something peculiar about this recent intellectual aversion, even if we accept as true the beliefs that democracy, social mobility, and economic dynamism have long inhibited the congealing of a ruling stratum. This aversion has coincided, after all, with one of the largest and fastest-growing disparities in the division of income and wealth in American history….Neglecting the powerful had not been characteristic of historical work before World War II...

Comment on the current wars:

I have tried to show how trade and transport routes are a big motivator in what has been happening in the middle east. I completely missed the newest planned trade routes. These certainly puts a different spin on the current wars.
