What Are NGOs and Their Role?
You can check out these protests online. They're hilarious. It's people protesting in the streets so that they are not allowed to know foreign funding of their own societies. Put the blindfolders on me. I'm not allowed to know whether that is funded by a foreign government. How much is funding? The CIA was running a initiative to control the education space during the Cold War to stop the spread of communist sympathizing teachings and curricula. All of this was repurposed against right-wing populism when Trump won in 2016. I noticed. According to George Soros, the Open Society Foundation was to provide basically a tax loophole for his kids. And it became such a powerful force in Washington that we had to synchronize U.S. foreign policy with the foreign policy set out by the Open Society Foundation.
NGOs, you hear the term all the time. And in fact, the deeper you look into almost any news story, especially one that pertains to the destruction of Western civilization in the United States, you find something called an NGO at the bottom of the story. NGO stands for non-governmental organization organization. But paradoxically, NGOs feel like a parallel government to me. You've done a lot of research on this. I don't think this topic's talked about enough. So I'm just going to stand back and let you explain what an NGO is, where they came from, and what role they occupy in the modern West.
Yeah. NGOs are the stem cell of the government's central nervous system. They are this highly flexible tool, just like a stem cell can transform into any of the 220 different cell types in the human body, and they self-renew, and they can generate all these new neurons. That is really you can't disentangle or really separate the government from the non-governmental organizations. This started in its origin really with the creation of the US income tax in 1913. And then in 1917, contributions to charitable organizations, to 501 , as we now know it, became tax deductible from this new income tax. And so that gave rise to this money flow into private foundations and into nonprofit organizations that would come to play a large role in both World Wars, but in particular World War II, when humanitarian relief began to be a big part of
OSS and the predecessor to the CIA and military financial assistance to groups in afflicted by World War Two, and then in particular during the Marshall Plan after World War Two. NGOs played a key role in being a deniable front to run money to establish contacts and to provide direction and guidance to groups that the U.S. government did not want to be caught necessarily doing directly.
Why Was the CIA Created?
And so you can trace this back, really. You have all these charities. They were fronts, a lot of them, or at least in part. So it's a complicated relationship because you have government agencies and then you have outside high net worth individuals and families, dynastic American families like the Fords, the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, all starting these private philanthropies. all playing a role in U.S. statecraft, all having international businesses that rely on foreign markets. And so they're highly dependent on the State Department clearing the way for them, negotiating deals for them, acquiring territory, creating export markets, maintaining laws in foreign countries that maximize profitability, securing mining rights, securing trade routes.
So there's this complex interplay. This is why I always call... So the story is really about, I don't really think of it as a government being different than an NGO, as being different than this corporate financial overclass. When I use the term the blob, which is not my term, that was a term from Obama's deputy national security advisor, Ben Rhodes, to describe a force within Washington that was bigger than the White House that The Obama White House felt like it couldn't get its foreign policy done because this foreign policy establishment, this blob structure seemed to be more powerful than that.
