If I give $1000 to a mobbed up casino to launder, it’s still a federal felony. On both ends of the deal.

“…
Yet, this sordid relationship is about to exit the news cycle because of an even greater effort to establish a quasi-state-media operation, as exposed this week. If you’re not familiar with Internews Network, you should. A half billion dollars was devoted to this propaganda experiment. Its work was done secretly, a red flag if anyone saw one. Wikileaks has more. Another red flag is that the headquarters for this operation is an abandoned office building:

It shows up if it was given as grants, but it wasn’t given as grants – it was done by inter-government funding then disguised in such a manner as to look like it was going for ‘research’ by the government agency its self when in reality it was going to the anti-gun groups.

And based on their findings, budgets were being frozen and people were being offered buyouts to resign–for about a day. The Hawaiian judges have already appeared and said “lolno, you aren’t allowed to do any of that, because I say so. Here is my court order to reopen USAID, rehire all the staff, turn Uncle Sam’s magical endless money faucet back on for all the Democratic Party slush funds, and apologize.”

This is the exact same thing that happened every time Trump tried to do anything but be a rubber stamp for the Democrats the last time, for four straight years. The legal system is full of Clinton, Obama, and Biden appointees, plus lots of cowardly squishy judges appointed by Republicans, who are afraid of getting snubbed at the trendy cocktail parties and so toe the Marxist line. It’s Calvinball. The only rule is “you lose because I say so.” You might possibly get five Supreme Court justices to rule in favor of Trump and DOGE, but any such case is going to be delayed and slow-walked for the next four years, if they even agree to hear the case, of which there is no guarantee.

Now, I suppose that Trump COULD have the US Marshals’ Service, or maybe even the Army, kick down some doors and arrest some worthy individuals for violation of the Hatch Act, then arrest some federal judges and charge them with violations of 18 U.S.C. § 371, 18 U.S.C. § 1503, and 18 U.S.C. § 1505. Maybe they could throw in additional charges under the Hobbs Anti-Racketeering Act too. Then Trump could appoint replacements, or maybe put those districts under martial law and set up military tribunals. He could give the orders, anyway. But there’s a saying about giving orders that won’t be obeyed.

Everything DOGE has revealed thus far has been entertaining, and the reactions of the Usual Suspects have been entertaining. That’s all this is. It’s entertainment, a bit of red meat for the red state voters that they may remember when midterms come, or not. Let me know when there are arrests and trials. Let me know when somebody goes to prison.

Considering the amounts involved here, that’s a little like getting bent out of shape over a government employee donating to a charity that sponsors a cause you don’t like. By the logic you’re using, churches should be under government oversight or shut down if they have government employees who donate to them (something, by the way, that I am completely against.)

The problem with what you’re saying is that government money given for research does show up when you look at grants given to an organization. When the government gives money for research, it is specifically called a “research grant.”

Frankly, the real scandal you find when you look at the data isn’t that a few hundred thousand dollars in taxpayer money indirectly ends up in the hands of gun grabbers. The real scandal is how many 501c3 organizations are 100% funded by taxpayer dollars, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars at least, and, call me crazy, but that’s where I’m pretty sure you’ll find most of the real waste, fraud, and abuse.

Like I said, let me know when bishops, “charitable foundation” CEOs, trillionaire (((banksters))), Senators, Federal judges, and former Presidents are walking the yard at USP Marion, wearing prison orange. Anything short of that is pissing in the wind. Anything short of helicopter rides for the culprits and will be undone in an instant with the first executive order the next Democrat President signs ten seconds after taking the oath of office.

Hell, let me know when they make one arrest, preferably of someone above the level of random file clerk from the temp service. Just one arrest. If nobody is doing the Danny Deever dance on the end of a rope at the end of this, it was all performative. And I like and respect Trump, really I do, but he doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy to order gibbets constructed in the National Mall. I am prepared to be pleasantly surprised, of course.

“Historians may someday describe the first seven days of Feb. 2025 as the week that Donald Trump, Elon Musk and a host of panic-stricken Democrats exposed beyond any further doubt the ultimate ugly, unavoidable and irredeemable corruption of Big Government.

To understand how this could happen, it is necessary to grasp the amazing preparedness demonstrated by the lightning-fast insertion of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cyber-assault teams into an initial handful of key agencies.

The insertions began with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which oversees the biggest single workforce in America, the 2.3 million federal career civil servants, otherwise known as The Bureaucracy.

Starting at OPM enabled the Trump team to establish quickly a communication link with all of the bureaucrats that was insulated against the host of counter-mechanisms available to the The Bureaucracy, its employee unions, professional associations and academic and media allies.

Also, the USAID HQ ( located in the Ronald Reagan Federal Building in Washington DC) has been vacated and now occupied by CBP.

You make the mistake of not seeing the overall picture that is just not grants like shown, its much bigger.

For example, Brady received a slice of the tax-payer money pie they called ‘donation/contribution’, but they actually got much more in another category you don’t see – and the organizations it filtered through to get to Brady, they also were involved in anti-gun efforts. So the overall picture is that its not some few thousands of $$$ that went to anti-gun, its many multiple millions. For example, USAID gave the CDC $25 million to fund gun control research and CDC farmed that out to various anti-gun groups and it doesn’t show up in their ‘donations’ or ‘grants’ because the research was done under color of government authority of CDC, Brady and Everytown and all the others all got a piece of this for supposedly ‘research’ in the millions of tax payer dollars but they spent it on anything they wanted and called it ‘research’. This was a favorite trick of the Biden admin it looks like, hiding money for questionable or even illegal stuff in plain sight by making it look like it went to another government agency when in reality it went to various NGO’s that were covered under the umbrella of the agency as ‘contractor employees’ making this look like they were just regular government agency employees and the agency was doing the work.

They literally laundered millions of dollars to gun control orgs calling it ‘research’ under the color of government authority for some agency or another. Grants are just the tip of the iceberg, and not the whole picture.
