It turns out the Non-Government Organizations were really The Government<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The word for that is GONGO \u2014 a government organised non-government organization \u2014 at once, an impossible thing and also a tautology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands up who is still reeling with the news that USAID had 50 thousand million dollars of political and media influence? The annual budget of $50 billion dollars in the hands of unaccountable activist NGOs buys a lot of \u201cjournalists\u201d, editors and teenage protestors. Suddenly a lot of odd repeated patterns around the world make more sense. Why were all governments suddenly worried about disinformation, or the rights of transexuals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we found out that news outlets like Politico<\/em>, and the New York Times<\/em> were being given millions of dollars from the US government<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benny Johnson says:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the biggest scandal in news media history: No employee at Politico got paid yesterday. First time ever the company missed a pay period. This is a crisis. Now we learn Politico \u2014 a \u201cnews company\u201d \u2014 which spent the last 10 years trying to destroy the MAGA Movement was being massively funded by USAID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems some $27 million dollars went to Politico during the Biden years \u2014 and that\u2019s just the subscriptions (not the USAID). Truly, Politico charges as much as $10,000 for a single \u201cPolitico Pro\u201d subscription \u2014 and so the taxpayers fork out big bucks to pay for politicians \u201cwork expenses\u201d, and the money ends up covering the salaries of journalists who are working hard to deceive the hapless taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As ZeroHedge<\/em> reminds us, Politico went in hard in the 2020 election to cover for the Hunter Biden laptop from hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also point out that the Blob has many other ways to keep newspapers toeing the line\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just the subscriptions: there are huge \u201cad contracts\u201d, dinner parties DC throws itself under the guise of \u201cmedia conferences\u201d, sponsorships, etc. all paid for by taxpayers. Once done with Politico look at its spawn Axios, founded by Politico veterans<\/p>\n\n\n\n
