"Here is a man who has never read anything apart from a legal textbook, and an Arsenal Programme"

This may start a bit slowly, but David Starkey makes an interesting and perceptive analysis of our current state/State, and clearly puts across the value of our (now neglected) historical heritage - we don't know what we have until it's been lost.

" ... we f****ed up partly because we became 'experts' ... "

Expertise in a narrow field is no substitute for breadth of knowledge and experience.

He gives us much to think about, and in the process, helps us realise that what we as a society now lack is the influential wisdom of experienced and knowledgeable elders - we no longer value the depth of understanding that such aldermen (using the word in its historical sense) should bring to our new and upcoming generations.

Can anybody seriously imagine that the absurd UN Climate Change Agendas-21/25/50 would ever have survived contact with such aldermen? 

Could our electoral systems ever be capable to facilitate their reintroduction?

USAID is much in the news as the Trump Administration sets about righting the federal ship of state, and America and the world finds out what has been going on, seemingly for ever.

So what is it all about?

Well, it's a bit wider than merely USAID ...

Scott Ritter paints the picture. Listen up!

Behind the scenes in Washington DC, in "the belly of the beast", a quiet blitzkrieg is reportedly overwhelming the bureaucracy.

Enabled by IT and up to eight years of meticulous planning and preparation, Elon's Marauders are mapping the money and deconstructing the byzantine layers of obfuscation and delay, replacing all with fit-for-purpose control systems designed for real results in real-time.

The US equivalents of Sir Humphrey Appleby are still reacting in accord with their eternal paradigm, that change cannot, indeed must not, be rushed. Flat-footed is to overstate their response.

If this report is true, they are being swept away with no meaningful chance to resist.

Trump set the standard with his initial blizzard of executive orders, meanwhile Elon's stormtroopers are tearing into the bureaucracy that never thought it could be discovered analysed and remapped in so short a space of time.

Well, that's the story, and I don't doubt that it isn't necessarily quite so clean and clear-cut in practice, but ...   Heck, it's a good story!

Read it for yourself.

 

USAID - Where Did the Money Go?

Elon Musk's investigation of the USAID payees has been extraordinarily revealing, showing just where the resources have been directed - and apparently not toward the well-being of the average US citizen.

If reports are to be believed, funds have been channelled through UN agencies and NGOs (and elsewhere), making USAID more akin to a slush fund for illegal activities everywhere.

And yet ...

"Most of the money subsidizing these human-trafficking NGOs does not come from USAID, it's from the United Nations"

The UK spent £12.79 billion on the UN's Official Development Assistance scheme in 2022 (including assistance to mitigate the dreaded "Climate Change") excluding other expenditure on items not considered to qualify as ODA assistance (eg: military aid, peacekeeping expenditures, and some cultural programmes that primarily aim to enhance the donor country’s image).

"the top three recipients [of UK bilateral ODA disbursements] in 2022 were Afghanistan (£352mn), Ukraine (£342mn) and Nigeria (£110mn)" 

It's a reasonable assumption that we don't know what exactly happened to all this "aid" in any of these countries, especially in the Ukraine, where Mr Zelensky has stated that much of his US aid is unaccounted for. Whether it disappeared before or after arrival is a good question. Unless such payments are audited, it is going to be subject to "disappearance".

It's also reasonable to question how much of the UK's £12.79 billion was also subject to "disappearance"?

I suspect that the UK tax-payer might well have an interest here. Who is responsible (if anybody) for auditing value for money on behalf of the UK taxpayer?

And for reporting back to Parliament?

Well, it's a complex area ...

But are there other shadowy revenue streams that nobody quite knows where the monies end up?

More from Neil Oliver and Maajid Nawaz, this time reflecting on the UK home front.

This includes some party political points that Free Citizen UK neither supports nor repudiates - this isn't about who will win the next election (or even if such will be held), it is about the overall state of our country and its institutions.
