Top 10 Reasons To Defund Our Shadow Government - The NGOs

There's a startling post over at Truth Over News describing the scandalous use of NGOs by our federal elites. It seems our betters are leveraging these organizations as an off-the-books shadow government funded by - guess who? - you and I.

As the authors state, "... [NGOs] exist primarily to enact policies that our out-of-control federal agencies want to establish, but are legally prohibited from doing so..."

How bad is it? Here are 10 items of note:
  1. NGOs are essentially functioning as a shadow government, doing what federal agencies legally can't do themselves (how convenient!)
  2. The US is contributing $4.1 billion to the UN in 2024, up from $3.4 billion in 2023 - because apparently we just have spare billions we didn't send to Ukraine
  3. Additional "voluntary contributions" through the State Department more than double the official UN funding

TOP 10 COVID FUN FACTS: The Fauci Files

Guest post by Otis Sistrunk

Despite the profound disruptions we've faced since Covid, it's surprising that few discuss the root cause. The pandemic's staggering societal impact ranges from a commercial real estate implosion to major disruptions in the automotive industry.

The financial impact of the pandemic is estimated at $14 trillion in the U.S. alone.

The following are 10 key facts you should know about Covid-19:

1. Funding Confirmation: The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has admitted to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) through grants to the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance. This admission contradicts previous denials by officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci.

2. Nature of Research: The research involved modifying bat coronaviruses to study their potential to infect humans, specifically testing if spike proteins could bind to human ACE2 receptors in a mouse model.
