A well written and researched site providing data on ANTI-FA, BLM and the key players running, funding and steering US / Global Radical Groups.
ABOUT ACTIVIST FACTS
Activist Facts, a project of the Center for Organizational Research and Education, provides the public and media with in-depth profiles of think tanks, activist groups, and foundations, along with information about the sources of their funding.
Some of these organizations provide a responsible public service. But some, despite their innocent-sounding names, are financial Goliaths that use junk science, intimidation tactics, and even threats of violence to push their radical agendas. We’ve analyzed over 500,000 pages of IRS records to bring you a comprehensive snapshot of where their money comes from, tracking more than $800 million to date.
We also offer valuable information about hundreds of deep-pocketed foundations, activist celebrities, and other key players in the animal rights, “food police,” and eco-terrorism movements.

But some, despite their innocent-sounding names, ... use junk science, intimidation tactics, and even threats of violence to push their radical agendas.

Speaking of "junk science" serving to "push agendas," now even the World Health Org's leader is (perhaps inadvertently) admitting the jig's up, and calling BS on Booster Madness:
BLUF:
[Common Dreams] When he decided which generals and admirals to fire and whom to hire in their place, Eisenhower didn't have to worry about identity politics. Top commanders were of a single skin tone in 1950s America. Today, however, any chief executive who ignores identity-related issues does so at their peril, laying themselves open to the charge of bigotry.
Which brings us to the case of retired four-star general Lloyd Austin, former Iraq War and CENTCOM commander. As a freshly minted civilian, Austin presides as the first Black defense secretary, a notable distinction given that senior Pentagon officials have tended to be white or male (and usually both). And while, by all reports, General Austin is an upright citizen and decent human being, it's become increasingly clear that he lacks qualities the nation needs when critically examining this country's less-than-awesome military performance, which should be the order of the day. Whatever suit he may wear to the office, he remains a general—and that is a problem.
Austin also lacks imagination, drive, and charisma. Nor is he a creative thinker. Rather than an agent of change, he's a cheerleader for the status quo—or perhaps more accurately, for a status quo defined by a Pentagon budget that never stops rising.

...Sometime in the next year or so, I fear we are going to have our asses handed to us in combat and the response of the men like SecDef will be to shrug and point fingers.

^ It's been a while since we fought a battle without complete air supremacy. I'm not so sure about the next one.

And satellite comms. And GPS. And a military with the will to win. I fear we are in for a shock.

Equipment and manpower issues aside -- and they are substantial -- another question is who our Churchill would be in a war of any magnitude and duration. Maybe one of our younger combat veterans would step up, but on the national stage the only instinctive fighter I see is DJT. The current administration has appeasement bred into its bones.

We haven't had leaders with the will to win wars for over 30 years now.
Since the Cold War's end their ethos has been defined by warm-fuzzy BS goals like "nation-building", "responsibility to protect," "girls' education," and sundry other cookie-pusher, 3 cups of tea nonsense

another question is who our Churchill would be in a war of any magnitude and duration.
Have you seen Darkest Hour - the re-imagining of Winston Churchill as a drunken slur cribbing real thinkers while the women around him attempt to keep him upright, and a re-visit to the qualities of Nevile Chamberlain?
Its what the people who cheer and support Lloyd Austin think, and are trying to get the kids to believe. What we would get an angry tranny who will command the palace eunuchs and take the loss of face out on US Citizens, while finding and securing their niche in a bio-medical tyranny, occasionally deploying to protect favored overseas money assets.
Bet the thing is everyone including Austin himself knows he is a placeholder, and that is why he is so willing to be a mouth, put on a ridiculous display face protection, a giant sprocket, and march his 300 pounds ass in front of the smallest white Marines on the roster.
Then there's that fucking wrecking ball Milly Cyrus, who is well know to be able to wax Alexander's choice of foods over properly set dishware but was caught off guard when leaving Afghanistan totally ass backwards, but made sure we got a photo of the last general on scene leaving nobody behind...well, no Afghans at least, just a bunch of allies and citizens and equipment and pallets of cash and one last drone strike and what was left of our reputation.
Jesse Watters encouraged attendees at a conservative conference to rhetorically "ambush" the president’s chief medical adviser.
"That’s awful that he said that. And he’s going to go, very likely, unaccountable," Fauci told CNN of Watters’ remarks. "I mean, whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything for him. I mean, that’s crazy. The guy should be fired on the spot."
Speaking on Monday at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference, Watters encouraged attendees to rhetorically "ambush" Fauci with dubious questions about the National Institutes of Health funding "gain-of-function" research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The incendiary, dangerous, violent rhetoric against Dr. Fauci continues at AmericaFest. Fox News host Jesse Watters tells them how to go after him to harass him in public: "Now you go in with the kill shot - deadly. Because, with an ambush, he doesn’t see it coming." pic.twitter.com/V34YZwDdPD

Even though the anchor specifically mentioned rhetorical Kill shot either Fauci missed the word rhetorical or doesn't understand its meaning. An honest person would have said 'rhetorical you meat-head, this is nothing. Ask me a real question."

Isn't the crux of Fauxi's shtick "It's (COVID, unvaxxed, unboosted, unmasked) skeery because I say it is?"

"Is the new Biden puppy a lab rescue?"
no, it's a new lab experiment for people with dementia, it's called a "comfort companion", since it doesn't speak, the patient can 'talk to it however they want without being challenged', unlike his present situation with Harris & Psaki.
[Alternatio] Since November 2020, a civil war has been going on in Ethiopia, in which the Prime Minister of the country, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Abiy Ahmed Ali, began a full-scale military campaign against the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Tigray (or, as we now like to write, "Tigraya"),
(We do? Why?)
which controls the eponymous region. The reason for the conflict was the fact that the federal center refused to recognize local elections and allocate money to the Tigray budget. In response to this, the regional authorities stopped paying taxes to the state treasury and recalled their deputies from parliament.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Interesting statements from the Collegium of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
#1
Of course, the US refusal to make any agreements with Russia will only strengthen the rapprochement between Russia and China and the further triumph of bloc politics in international affairs.
Exactly so. Think about the trade made by Clinton and Bush fils, and doubled down on by Bathhouse and Pres. Magoo:
- we got Russia to dissolve the Eastern Bloc (Warsaw Pact)
- we got Russia to create a new China-Russia bloc
So we used to play the China card against Russia.
Now China is playing the Russia card against us.
[IsraelTimes] From 2014 to 2020, UN agencies spent close to $4.5 billion in Gazoo, including $600 million in 2020 alone.
The international community has sent billions of dollars in aid to the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip in recent years to provide relief to the more than 2 million Paleostinians living in the isolated, Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,-ruled territory.
The aid is intended to ease the burden on civilians of the Egyptian and Israeli blockade imposed on Gaza when Hamas seized power of the Strip in 2007. Israel closely supervises aid to try to ensure it bypasses Hamas. But the Hamas-run government benefits from foreign countries footing the bill for schools, hospitals and infrastructure, allowing it to conserve its own resources, including the taxes and customs it collects.
Here’s a look at the main forms of international aid to Gaza:
— From 2014-2020, UN agencies spent nearly $4.5 billion in Gaza, including $600 million in 2020 alone. More than 80% of that funding is channeled through the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees, who make up three-fourths of Gaza’s population. Some 280,000 children in Gaza attend schools run by UNRWA, which also provides health services and food aid.
— Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... has provided $1.3 billion in aid to Gaza since 2012 for construction, health services and agriculture. That includes $360 million pledged in January for 2021 and another $500 million pledged for reconstruction after the war in May. Qatar’s aid also goes to needy families and to help pay Hamas government salaries.
— The Paleostinian Authority says it will spend $1.7 billion on Gaza this year, mainly on salaries for tens of thousands of civil servants who stopped working when Hamas took over in 2007.
— Egypt pledged $500 million in aid after the May war, but it’s unclear how much has materialized. It sent construction crews to clear rubble over the summer.
— Germany and other European countries will spend nearly 70 million euros ($80 million) on water projects in Gaza this year, in addition to their contributions to UNRWA.
— The US has spent at least $5.5 million in Gaza this year on cash assistance and health care, in addition to contributing $90 million to UNRWA operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
— Israel is granting work permits to 10,000 Gazooks who undergo security vetting, providing a crucial source of income for families with no known connection to Hamas.

As for his criticism, all he need do is check the websites or do a google search using key words — those donating to the Gaza Strip trumpet their pledges as a demonstration of virtue. It shouldn't take more than twenty minutes of minor effort to confirm or disprove the claims made in the article, if he really wants to know rather than just whine about how awful Rantburg is.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
