NGOs: The Ultimate Scam

NGOs are obviously a scam; however, they have morphed into a tool for changing America without a vote from the people. Certainly, both parties are guilty. But during the Biden administration they have taken this corruption to a new level.

If you haven’t been convinced after the days following the debate that we have a state-operated media, you probably have been distracted by an the explosion of NGOs (Non government organization) under Joe Biden. There are billions at stake that fund NGOs like the UN’s IOM (International Organization of Migration) that expedites the illegal migration from Central America to the US.  

 

(see https://yourtruthmaynotbemine.com/blog/biden-the-border-is-not-as-important-as-a-chip-factory?rq=IOM  , https://yourtruthmaynotbemine.com/blog/us-and-canada-are-the-major-funders-of-the-un-international-organization-of-migration?rq=IOM , https://yourtruthmaynotbemine.com/blog/given-the-strategic-goals-collateral-damage-is-just-not-that-important?rq=IOM .

 

NGO’s are also responsible for the so-called sponsors responsible for the estimated 85,000 migrant children now lost in the system. There are many  relationships that are now being tied to the operators and their US government sponsors. Questions will reveal who gets these contracts, what are their ties to government, how well are they doing their jobs?  The answers will not create confidence in your government. If you have watched any of the Congressional hearings, the agencies are very effective in stonewalling Congress, which when not controlling the DOJ, are impotent to do much.

 

Approximately 1.5 million NGOs operate in the United States, undertaking a wide array of activities including some contracted by the U.S. government. However, the exact number of NGOs specifically involved in activities contracted by the U.S. government is not explicitly stated.

Some key points regarding NGOs and their involvement with U.S. government activities:

Many NGOs secure financial aid from various government levels through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements

·  The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) partners with NGOs to promote economic growth, human rights, and social progress

 

·  In the context of global health efforts, a 2015 analysis found that NGOs carried out U.S. activities in all major program areas, including HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, family planning, maternal and child health, nutrition, and other public health threats

 

·  This analysis showed that NGO efforts were carried out in close to 80 countries, with most NGOs receiving funding for activities in a single country

 

·  In more than a third of the countries reached, 10 or more NGOs received U.S. support for global health activities

Based on the search results, while there isn't a comprehensive list of NGOs that receive the most U.S. government funding, we can identify some key organizations and trends:

International organizations receive a large portion of U.S. government funding for global humanitarian activities, including:

  • United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

  • International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)

  • International Organization for Migration (IOM)

Among non-governmental organizations (NGOs), some that have recently received significant U.S. government funding include:

  • International Rescue Committee

  • Mercy Corps

  • International Medical Corps

In the global health sector, a 2015 analysis found that NGOs received 41% ($2.74 billion) of the more than $6.71 billion disbursed by USAID for global health activities in FY 2014                          

·  The funding was concentrated among a small group of NGOs:

  • 20 NGOs received 80% ($2.2 billion) of the funding going to NGOs

  • Of these 20 NGOs, 17 were U.S.-based

·  Most U.S. global health funding for NGOs was directed to those based in the U.S., with U.S.-based NGOs accounting for almost 88% of the funding

 

·  HIV programs received the most funding ($1.65 billion) and had the greatest number of NGOs involved (164.

Some large U.S.-based NGOs that receive significant government funding (though not necessarily the most) include:

  • United Way Worldwide

  • American Red Cross

  • International Rescue Committee

It's important to note that funding levels can change over time due to policy shifts, as evidenced by recent cuts to USAID and State Department funding for Palestinian NGOs and UNRWA. Additionally, some NGOs, like Greenpeace, deliberately avoid government funding to maintain independence.

The Executive Branch does have significant control over funding for NGOs, but there are some important nuances and limitations:

  1. The Executive Branch, through agencies like USAID and the State Department, distributes large amounts of funding to NGOs both domestically and internationally. This gives the Executive Branch considerable influence over which NGOs receive funding and for what purposes.

  2. However, Congress ultimately holds the "power of the purse" constitutionally and appropriates the funds that the Executive Branch then distributes. The Executive Branch cannot spend money without congressional authorization.

  3. There are concerns about lack of transparency in how the Executive Branch distributes NGO funding. Many details about grant recipients, amounts, and projects are not publicly accessible.

  4. The Executive Branch has some flexibility in how it interprets and implements congressional funding directives, which can lead to controversies. For example, the Trump administration cut funding to certain Palestinian NGOs and UNRWA despite previous congressional appropriations.

  5. Courts have sometimes ruled against the Executive Branch when it has tried to spend money in ways not clearly authorized by Congress. However, judicial remedies are not always effective in constraining executive actions.

  6. Congress retains tools to push back on executive control, such as more specific appropriations language, oversight hearings, and potentially reforming budget processes.

  7. There are ongoing debates about the appropriate balance of power between Congress and the Executive Branch when it comes to funding decisions for NGOs and other recipients.

In summary, while the Executive Branch exercises significant day-to-day control over NGO funding through its agencies, this control is not absolute and exists within a system of checks and balances with Congress and the courts. The extent of executive control remains a contentious issue in U.S. governance.

 

Based on the search results, the funding of NGOs related to immigration is primarily controlled by the Executive Branch of the U.S. government, specifically through agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its sub-agencies. Here are the key points:

DHS, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), administers the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which provides significant funding to NGOs supporting immigration-related activities

·  In a recent funding round, DHS awarded $300 million to NGOs and state/local governments through the SSP program. Of this, $99 million went directly to NGOs

·  The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department also provide funding to NGOs for immigration-related activities

·  The Executive Branch has considerable influence over which NGOs receive funding and for what purposes, as these decisions are made by executive agencies

·  However, it's important to note that Congress ultimately holds the "power of the purse" and appropriates the funds that the Executive Branch then distributes

·  There are concerns about lack of transparency in how the Executive Branch distributes NGO funding. Many details about grant recipients, amounts, and projects are not publicly accessible

·  Recent changes to the SSP program in FY2024 allow grant recipients more flexibility in how they use funds, potentially making it more difficult to track how the money is being used

·  There have been instances of mismanagement and violations of award terms by grantees, as noted in a 2023 DHS Office of Inspector General report

While the Executive Branch exercises significant day-to-day control over NGO funding related to immigration, this control exists within a system of checks and balances with Congress and is subject to ongoing debate and scrutiny.
