The global NGO destroying Africa — and flooding Europe with refugees



We're often told why immigrants stream into America and Europe by the millions, straining local resources and making a mockery of the law: They're searching for a better life.

But have you ever wondered how the life they're fleeing got so bad in the first place?

By presenting itself as both independent and transparent, the Club and its corrupt collaborators skillfully mask a deeper agenda — specifically, one that centralizes authority and imposes a vision that could punish dissent and enforce compliance.

Meet the powerful non-governmental organization pushing just the kind of draconian "sustainability" policies that help keep third-world countries in dire poverty.

"You'll own nothing and be happy." Thanks to this creepy mantra, most of us are already familiar with the World Economic Forum — if only because of founder Klaus Schwab's Bond movie villain accent and sense of style.

Yet many are not aware of its close partner, an even more powerful player in the shadowy corridors of global governance: the Club of Rome.

Founded in 1968 by a faction of scientists, economists, and business leaders to advance sustainability and systemic change, the Club of Rome presents itself as a benign force for good. But beneath this think tank's flimsy facade of altruism lurks a sinister agenda that makes the WEF look like WWE in comparison

If in doubt, let me point you in the direction of its most recent report, which is full of flawed logic and sadistic suggestions.

Legislated famine

In this document, the authors outline a ridiculous road map for achieving the "Sustainable Development Goals" in Africa. One of the more outlandish and reckless recommendations involves reducing the use of fertilizers. If enacted, this policy would be a death sentence for millions, perhaps tens of millions.

As Africa's population surges, reducing agricultural productivity risks widespread famine and suffering. This is a continent synonymous with starvation. Instead of empowering African nations to harness their natural resources, feed their people, and achieve economic growth, the Club promotes policies that prioritize environmental ideals over human welfare. This social engineering masquerading as progress could have catastrophic consequences.

Maybe that's part of the plan.

The Club of Rome's ideology is not confined to Africa; it resonates throughout Europe and beyond. In a time when many European nations grapple with the influx of immigrants and refugees, these misguided initiatives only serve to exacerbate existing challenges. Since 1990, the number of African immigrants living outside their home countries has more than doubled, with Europe experiencing the most pronounced growth.

An overwhelmed Europe

Over 11 million African-born individuals now call Europe home, many having journeyed through perilous sea routes. They arrive traumatized, often unable to communicate in the language of their new country, thrust into cultures and environments that feel utterly foreign, because they are. This influx brings a way of life that starkly contrasts with local customs, resulting in a clash of civilizations. This is not xenophobic speculation. Countries like France, Italy, and Germany are overwhelmed with African immigrants, and some of the stories of their behavior are nothing short of shocking.

North African immigrants, particularly from Morocco and Tunisia, are increasingly linked to a surge in violent crime in Germany. Disturbingly, these individuals are responsible for an average of one murder every six days, a statistic that underscores a troubling trend. The rise in serious offenses — assaults, stabbings, and rapes — coincides with the left-liberal German government's hesitance to deport offenders, raising serious concerns about public safety.

Since 2019, the number of murder cases involving Tunisians has skyrocketed by 110% while cases involving Moroccans have risen by 67%. According to data from the Federal Criminal Police Office, a murder was committed by either a Tunisian or a Moroccan every six days last year. These countries are known for their strong Islamic traditions, which often run counter to Western values.

In contrast, Southern African nations, where Christianity is more prevalent, often reflect different social dynamics. The influx of North African immigrants, with cultural and religious differences rooted in Islam, has sparked a clash that further complicates integration and endangers the people of Europe.

Thanks to the reckless recommendations of unelected globalists with the Club of Rome, the WEF, and the European Union, Europe now grapples with the dire consequences of this “human oil spill.” The surge of immigrants has overwhelmed social services, heightened cultural tensions, and fueled fears of escalating crime, unemployment, and the demise of broader society.

Post-COVID carnage

The backdrop for this upheaval is the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdowns imposed by governments across the globe became a catalyst for radical change. While you and I were imprisoned in our homes, the elites — those behind organizations like the Club of Rome and the WEF — strategized about the future. They saw an opportunity to implement their vision for a post-COVID world, one where individuals would relinquish their rights and property in exchange for a facade of security and stability.

Again, this is not conjecture. The Club of Rome, through its partnerships with the WEF and the EU, seeks to chart a path for “systemic change” that undermines individual freedoms. Its influence extends into policymaking, shaping agendas that prioritize climate ideology over the welfare of citizens. This collusion raises critical questions about the legitimacy of its authority and the future trajectory of humanity.

The launch of the Systems Transformation Hub earlier this year marks a disturbing shift in Europe’s governance. Amid an escalating series of “crises” — conflict, climate change, and “deepening inequality” — this initiative seeks to overhaul societal structures under the banner of sustainability and unity. With Europe facing a number of pivotal elections, the timing of the Hub's emergence was anything but coincidental.

At its core, the Hub aims to craft policies and create a narrative that fit neatly with the European Green Deal. It emphasizes scientific data — often selectively chosen, as the COVID pandemic has shown — over public opinion, subtly undermining democratic processes and paving the way for directives from an exclusive elite. After all, the elites clearly know best.

Unaccountable authority

While the Hub touts its commitment to creating “a prosperous, resilient, green, and just Europe,” the reality may be a consolidation of power in the hands of a select few. Here, I suggest, “green” translates to cash flow rather than genuine environmental concern — think eco-friendly profits rather than eco-friendly policies. By presenting itself as both independent and transparent, the Club and its corrupt collaborators skillfully mask a deeper agenda — specifically, one that centralizes authority and imposes a vision that could punish dissent and enforce compliance.

The most dangerous aspect of organizations like the Club of Rome and the World Economic Forum is their enduring influence in a world where politicians come and go and nations rise and fall. These entities, composed of unelected, largely unknown officials, wield power that transcends electoral cycles, remaining ever-present as they pull the strings behind the scenes.

This unaccountable authority allows them to shape societal norms and policies without the scrutiny that elected leaders face, fundamentally undermining democratic processes. Operating with a level of permanence that defies political turnover, these organizations pose a grave threat to the Western world.

NGO responds to allegations it subjected children to ‘repeated’ sexual abuse



A recent Department of Justice lawsuit accused a prominent nongovernmental organization of subjecting unaccompanied children to “repeated” sexual abuse and harassment. The nonprofit responded to the allegations, claiming that the DOJ's complaint "does not present the accurate picture of the care and commitment our employees provide to the youth and children."

Southwest Key Programs, a Texas-based nonprofit, partners with the Department of Health and Human Services to provide housing to minors who unlawfully cross into the United States without a parent or guardian. According to its website, the organization is “an integral partner in the U.S. response to the immigration crisis at our southern border.”

'The child’s accounts were partially corroborated by video footage.'

The DOJ’s lawsuit claimed, “From at least 2015 through at least 2023, multiple Southwest Key employees have subjected unaccompanied children in their care to repeated and unwelcome sexual abuse, harassment, and misconduct and a hostile housing environment, including severe sexual abuse and rape, solicitation of sex acts, solicitation of nude photos, entreaties for sexually inappropriate relationships, sexual comments and gestures, leering, and inappropriate touching.”

The suit alleged that some of the children were “threatened” by the employees to “maintain their silence” about the abuse. The organization was accused of “fail[ing] to take appropriate action to protect the children in its care.”

According to the DOJ, the children impacted by the alleged abuse were as young as 5 years old.

After unaccompanied minors are apprehended by Border Patrol at the southern border, they are placed with the HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is responsible for providing humanitarian care and housing. The agency partners with several NGOs to provide these services, including Southwest Key.

As part of its partnership with the federal government, the HHS provides NGOs with grants funded by American taxpayers.

The DOJ’s complaint noted that Southwest Key is “the largest private care provider of housing for unaccompanied children in the United States.” The NGO operated 29 shelters, accommodating roughly 6,350 children.

“Between fiscal years 2015 and 2023, Southwest Key received over three billion dollars in funding from HHS,” it added.

During that period of time, the organization received complaints of sexual abuse and harassment “at the majority” of its facilities, the DOJ claimed.

In one instance in 2022, an 8-year-old girl reported that a Southwest Key youth care worker “repeatedly” entered her bedroom at night to abuse her. The worker was also accused of inappropriately touching a 5-year-old girl and an 11-year-old girl. He allegedly “threatened to kill their families if they disclosed the abuse.”

In 2019, a teenage girl passed a note to her teacher stating that a shift leader had “repeatedly raped, abused, and threatened” her.

“She reported she believed that Southwest Key employees were covering to protect the Shift Leader because, among other things, he would regularly switch assignments with other staff so that he could be alone with her,” the DOJ’s lawsuit read. “The child’s accounts were partially corroborated by video footage of the Shift Leader entering her bedroom and her journal documenting abuse. In addition, employees observed the Shift Leader’s failure to follow bedroom check policy and routinely entering the child’s bedroom (as well as entering other children’s bedrooms) for periods of time without other employees present.”

The DOJ’s complaint listed numerous other incidents of sexual abuse and harassment allegedly committed by the NGO’s employees. It is unclear how many children were allegedly subjected to the abuse.

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra stated, “HHS has a zero-tolerance policy for all forms of sexual abuse, sexual harassment, inappropriate sexual behavior, and discrimination.”

“The U.S. Department of Justice’s complaint against Southwest Key raises serious pattern or practice concerns. HHS will continue to work with the Justice Department and oversight agencies to hold its care-giving programs like Southwest Key accountable. And we will continue to closely evaluate our assignment of children into care-giving programs to ensure the safety and well-being of every child in HHS custody,” Becerra added.

The HHS’ Administration for Children and Families declined the Daily Caller New Foundation’s request for comment, deferring to the DOJ, which also declined to comment.

Blaze News reported on the allegations against Southwest Key last week, but at that time, the NGO had not publicly commented on the lawsuit. A spokesperson for Southwest Key has since told the DCNF that it still partners with the HHS’ Office of Refugee Resettlement.

“Southwest Key Programs’ primary focus is the safety, health, and well-being of each one of the children and youth we care for,” the spokesperson told the DCNF. “We continue to review the complaint, and it does not present the accurate picture of the care and commitment our employees provide to the youth and children.”

Blaze News exclusive: NH 'peace' organization accused of fraud, unlawfully deploying security detail to harass conservatives



It is no secret that far-left activist organizations have besieged state capitals in recent years, wailing and flailing about and ordering legislators to kowtow to their demands on issues ranging from so-called LGBTQ+ rights to gun control.

One Republican state representative in New Hampshire went beyond simply complaining about or ignoring one particularly virulent organization in his state and instead decided to do some research into it. What he found was evidence of possible charity fraud, RICO violations, and alleged ties to terrorist organizations, to say nothing of its extra-governmental security force apparently designed to intimidate conservatives and deny them their civil rights.

For the first part of this exclusive two-part series, Blaze News spoke with New Hampshire state Rep. Mike Belcher (R-Carroll) to learn more about the allegations he has leveled against New Hampshire Peace Action in hopes of bringing the organization's unsavory and perhaps unlawful tactics to a swift and peaceful end and to encourage state law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation of it.

NHPA did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

'A Russian-influence operation': NHPA background and history

On the surface, New Hampshire Peace Action seems like a traditional left-leaning antinuclear organization, mainly advocating nonviolence and claiming to want to engage in peaceful, respectful protest and community dialogue. On its website, NHPA envisions building "a more peaceful and just future for all" by promoting "international relations ... based on cooperation instead of competition and conflict."

'I found an awful lot of references to the original organization actually being a part of the Soviet United Front operations of the Communist International.'

"Peace activists are often told that we’re naive to think that nonviolence will be effective," NHPA said in a recent statement. "Many of us think the idea that violence will bring about peace is far less sensible. In a world with nuclear weapons and serious environmental problems, war is too dangerous and costly for us all at this point."

Rep. Belcher, however, believes that the organization's peaceful rhetoric is actually a front for a more insidious — in fact, possibly violent — Marxist agenda. "So if they're all about peace, and they're all anti-war, and that's what they're all about, you would expect them to take sort of a universal pro-peace position on every conflict in the world. But that's not at all what they're doing," Belcher explained to Blaze News.

Just by clicking around on the NHPA website and various groups linked to it, including its parent organization, National Organization Peace Action, Belcher claims he discovered that NHPA has its roots in pro-Soviet advocacy. "I found an awful lot of references to the original organization actually being a part of the Soviet United Front operations of the Communist International," he said. "So it looks like that organization was founded as a Soviet-influence operation.

"And if you were to ask me what it looks like they're up to today, it kind of looks like there's still a Russian-influence operation."

The website for National Organization Peace Action seems to speak glowingly about Soviet actions during the nuclear arms race of the 1980s, especially compared with the actions of then-President Ronald Reagan: "Mikhail Gorbachev was profoundly influenced by the worldwide antinuclear campaign, setting aside time to confer with [antinuclear] leaders," whereas "the Reagan administration, on the defensive, was forced to modify its positions."

In addition to its apparently pro-Soviet origins, Belcher also noted that NHPA not only strongly condemns Israel but may even promote groups with ties to Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization.

"New Hampshire Peace Action is a founding member of this other organization [National Organization Peace Action] that is actively providing what appears to me to be material support for multiple foreign terrorist organizations," Belcher claimed.

Belcher reiterated to Blaze News that his goal in pointing out a possible association between NHPA and Hamas is not to advocate for Israel or Palestine in the latest war in Gaza but to advocate for Americans and their interests. "Perhaps even more important than the fact that many of these organizations are supporting foreign terror organizations," he said, is that "many of these organizations are also directly calling for revolution and insurrection in the United States of America openly on these various accounts and on these various websites."

National Organization Peace Action admits on its website that it has partnered with the Progressive Caucus in Congress and counts Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) among its allies.

On its website, NHPA claims that it is against the violence perpetrated by both Israelis and Palestinians but that it focuses largely on the Israeli government "because the U.S. Government, thus American taxpayers, directly fund it."

Possible 'charity fraud': NHPA and its mysterious 'education fund'

Belcher does not just object to NHPA's supposedly Soviet influence. He also alleges that it falsely presents itself as a charity able to collect tax-deductible donations when it is not.

IRS code distinguishes between nonprofits whose donations are tax-deductible and nonprofits whose donations are not. Those whose donations can be tax-deductible are classified as a 501(c)(3). Those whose donations cannot be are classified as a 501(c)(4).

'That looks like commingling of funds. That is criminal.'

NHPA is a 501(c)(4), as evidenced by a newsletter message posted to its website last February. "Your membership dues help fund out [sic] 501c4 work: lobbying, legislative engagement, coalition building, and electoral politics," the message said.

Screenshot of nhpeaceaction.org taken on June 21, 2024

Yet despite making this direct link between NHPA membership dues and the group's "501c4 work," NHPA elsewhere insinuates that purchasing an NHPA membership or making other donations to NHPA could be tax-deductible in defiance of federal tax law. "Note that if you would like your donation/membership to be tax deductible, please put that in the note field when you checkout," it says under the Join/Donate tab of its website.

Screenshot of nhpeaceaction.org taken on June 21, 2024

Third-party sites give mixed results regarding NHPA's tax status. One site, Charity Navigator, lists it as a 501(c)(4). However, Project World Impact, an organization that attempts to connect donors with nonprofits that might be of interest, lists NHPA as a 501(c)(3).

Screenshot of projectworldimpact.com taken on June 21, 2024

Some of the confusion may stem from yet another NHPA-related organization — New Hampshire Peace Action Education Fund — that is a verifiable 501(c)(3) but that seems to have no public-facing presence outside NHPA. A quick search for such an "education fund" on the NHPA website directs users to the board of directors, many of whom seem to serve NHPA and NHPAEF concurrently. Otherwise, New Hampshire Peace Action Education Fund has no other unique page on the NHPA website.

Even though NHPAEF has no independent website or even an independent page on the NHPA website on which to market itself and its mission, New Hampshire Peace Action Education Fund is listed on NH Gives, a website showcasing nonprofits within the state. There, it partially presents itself as NHPA and uses the same vision and missions statements that appear on the NHPA homepage.

Screenshot of nhgives.org taken on June 21, 2024

Between the NHPAEF's lack of "public presence," NHPA and NHPAEF's shared address and directors, and an apparent "common pool of donated funds," Belcher believes that NHPAEF "is not actually a separate organization" from NHPA.

"I think there's charity fraud going on here," he told Blaze News.

Tax filings for NHPAEF further muddy the waters between NHPAEF's fundraising and NHPA's direct action. In its form 990 from 2019, NHPAEF claimed to have raised money for "two rallies to draw awareness to the need to change foreign policy" and a "completed season of bird-dogging presidential candidates about issues of peace and nuclear disarmament," among other events.

Yet the IRS website clarifies that a 501(c)(3) organization — such as NHPAEF — "may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates" (emphasis added). In other words, it may not be what the IRS calls "an action organization."

Belcher also argued that such policy-related events would normally be handled and promoted by a 501(c)(4) such as NHPA, rather than a 501(c)(3) like NHPAEF.

Though he cautioned that he may not understand all the nuances of federal tax law, Belcher said that "if they have a 501(c)(4) arm, a social welfare arm, that is undertaking those activities ... and they're saying they're funding those activities from their (c)(3) arm, that looks like commingling of funds.

"That is criminal."

A woman at a phone number listed on New Hampshire Peace Action Education Fund tax filings told Blaze News that NHPA and NHPAEF are "sister organizations." She also verified that NHPAEF is a 501(c)(3) and that NHPA is a 501(c)(4). When Blaze News asked further questions, the woman asked for our contact information so that someone else could answer them. We never received a return call.

'Marshals and de-escalators': NHPA's 'peacekeepers'

The third allegation that Belcher has made against NHPA is that it trains a cadre of security personnel and then offers their services to various left-wing organizations in violation of New Hampshire law, which requires a state-issued license for any person or organization "soliciting work" related to that performed by a security guard.

NHPA currently has only two major projects listed on its website. One of them is related to "education" regarding Palestine. The other is NH Project Peacekeeper, which the NHPA calls "a roster of trained volunteer peacekeepers who act as marshals and de-escalators for public events around NH."

'I think it's a big step toward normalizing the deployment of paramilitary along with left-wing protests in order to deny conservatives their right to public protest [and] their right to assembly.'

NHPA even offers an email address for those wanting to "request peacekeeping services through the NH Peacekeeping Project" for their particular event. In other words, NHPA seems to be "soliciting" security-related "work."

A representative from the permits and licensing division of the state Department of Safety confirmed to Blaze News that NHPA does not currently have a state-issued security guard license, nor has it ever had such a license.

With that credential missing, it's perhaps little wonder that those trained as its "peacekeepers" have no interest in keeping the peace. In Part II of this two-part exclusive series, Blaze News will explore recorded interactions between some NHPA "peacekeepers" and a New Hampshire couple who want to protect children against sterilization and genital mutilation as advanced by the so-called transgender agenda.

For now, we will share just one of several videos showcasing the antics of these alleged NHPA "peacekeepers," who are easily identifiable by the yellow lining and peace signs on their vests. The anti-trans couple always wear body cameras to record just such interactions. In this case, they are simply trying to walk on the grounds of the state capital during a Pride event earlier this month.

"Go back to your corner," the female "peacekeeper" repeatedly orders. She also allegedly called the wife "a b****," though if she did, that incident was not included in the video. The male "peacekeeper" then denounces the husband as a false Christian.

"You think you're a Christian, but you're not," he says. The husband immediately replies that he made no remark about his religious identity.

Meet TRA Eileen Ehlers who with her husband Bob st@lk3d @BethRS62 outside of the Rainbow Recess event at the State House. She called me a coward, but note how quick she turns her back when I confronted her. She preys on the weak. #NHPolitics

Belcher believes that these and other NHPA "peacekeepers" are actually a "paramilitary" group that parades about public events, impersonating law enforcement by wielding "false authority," to intimidate other New Hampshire residents and deny them their civil rights. "I think it's a big step toward normalizing the deployment of paramilitary along with left-wing protests in order to deny conservatives their right to public protest [and] their right to assembly," he told Blaze News.

'A web of malign influence': Belcher takes action

Because of his findings on the organization's website and the series of videos showing its "peacekeepers" attempting to prevent people from exercising their constitutional rights, Rep. Belcher decided to take action against New Hampshire Peace Action. Earlier this month, he penned a formal letter to New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella, an appointee of Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, as an official criminal referral for NHPA.

In his X profile picture, Horrigan is wearing a pink vagina hat made infamous during the 2017 women's march in Washington, D.C.

NHPA, its parent organization, and some of its affiliates "represent a web of malign influence on New Hampshire and America posing as 'charitable' and 'social welfare' organizations, and these matters may fall under further laws prohibiting material support to terrorist organizations, the Logan Act against conflicts, failure to register as a foreign agent, and RICO statute violations," Belcher wrote.

"This group must not be allowed to challenge the legitimacy of the State through the usurpation of law enforcement functions for partisan and political ends to terrorize New Hampshire citizens," his letter closed.

— (@)

Belcher also persuaded six of his Republican colleagues in the state House to sign the letter as well. Though he did not reach across the aisle to find bipartisan support for the letter, he told Blaze News that not a single Democrat has expressed any interest.

In fact, one of his Democrat colleagues in the New Hampshire House, Rep. Tim Horrigan, even openly admitted to being a part of NHPA. In an X exchange with Belcher, Horrigan called Belcher's allegations "total bulls***." NHPA has "always been quite clear (in my mind, at least) about which donations are tax deductible & which aren't," he added.

In his X profile picture, Horrigan is wearing a pink vagina hat made infamous during the 2017 women's march in Washington, D.C. He also previously acknowledged that he and other Democrats have been either directly or indirectly "influenced by Marx."

Horrigan told Blaze News that the type of "arrangement" between NHPA and NHPAEF "is not unique to NHPA" and may, in fact, be used by "many right-wing groups." He also asserted that the arrangement is not "illegal," adding that if it is, "many, many other groups will have to change the way they do business."

Democrats may not support an investigation into NHPA, but AG Formella has already given Belcher a listening ear about the contents of the letter. During a phone conversation with Belcher on Thursday, Formella pledged to initiate the review process by submitting relevant materials about NHPA to the appropriate state investigative agencies "to assess for probable cause," Belcher told Blaze News.

Belcher is encouraged by Formella's response. "I think that's a perfectly reasonable place to start," he said.

"I am thankful for the attorney general taking this matter seriously and initiating a review of the allegations," Belcher added in a statement. "Given the circumstances and evidence, I strongly suspect there will be a finding that probable cause exists to pursue a full investigation."

Blaze News left a message for Formella with the New Hampshire Department of Justice but did not receive a response.

High-profile GOP congressmen move to disempower NGO that created watch list of Ukraine 'opponents' — including Blaze Media



Congressional Republicans are fighting back after an NGO with ties to Ukraine and the U.S. State Department created a watch list of American individuals and media outlets — including Blaze Media — supposedly known to have promulgated "Russian disinformation" or otherwise made "anti-Ukrainian statements."

Last week, an NGO best known as Texty.org but that is sometimes referred to as the Data Journalism Agency created a list of some 380 politicians and activists on the left and right as well as more than 75 entities that are supposedly "opponents of Ukraine."

According to Texty.org's article about the watch list, these people and organizations established themselves as Ukrainian opponents by taking steps such as delaying further Ukraine funding by a few months or calling for "a stronger audit" of how such funds have been allocated, as Blaze News previously reported.

The Texty.org article even called out the Democrat congressional group known as "the Squad" for daring to utter "anti-war speeches."

'All Americans can agree that our tax dollars should not be supporting direct attacks on U.S. persons based upon reasonable political disagreement, and especially not direct attacks on U.S. legislators based solely upon their vote.'

Blaze Media managed to secure a spot on the list by supposedly sharing "false and manipulative" information about the origins of the Ukraine/Russia war and otherwise disseminating "common narratives of Russian propaganda," according to an email from Texty.org's deputy editor in chief, Inna Gadzynska.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) also found himself on that list, as did 115 other Republicans in the House of Representatives. On Wednesday, Banks sent a letter to his Republican colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee, calling on them to defund Texty.org.

Then, during a full committee markup of the fiscal year 2025 State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs funding bill, those Republicans banded together to include a provision that would prohibit Texty.org from receiving federal funding.

"I was just designated an ‘opponent of Ukraine,’ after being sanctioned by the Russian regime," Banks said in a statement. "I’m not bothered by what foreign nations think of me. But it’s shameful for our agencies to be using Hoosiers’ tax dollars to collaborate with foreign groups that attempt to intimidate U.S. citizens and lawmakers. I’d like to thank the Republicans on the Appropriations Committee for defunding any such work with the Data Journalism Agency."

Banks was not the only Republican on the watch list to take decisive action against Texty.org. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio also reached out to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, requesting to learn more information about the connection between the State Department and Texty.org co-founder Anatoly Bondarenko, who participated in TechCamp, "a public diplomacy program" established by the Bureau of Educational & Cultural Affairs, a subdivision of the State Department.

"Needless to say, whatever one thinks of American foreign aid or support for Ukraine, all Americans can agree that our tax dollars should not be supporting direct attacks on U.S. persons based upon reasonable political disagreement, and especially not direct attacks on U.S. legislators based solely upon their vote," the letter to Blinken said.

Blaze Media cofounder Glenn Beck suggests Bondarenko may even be involved in inciting a color revolution in the United States. "[Bondarenko] is a guy who has deep ties to the State Department and to color revolutions by hosting a TechCamp in one of those countries," he recently told Peter Gietl, managing editor of Return, a tech division of Blaze Media.

Beck believes that people such as Bondarenko and George Soros have "perfected" conducting color revolutions elsewhere and are now attempting to implement one here. "[They want] to topple her and maker her into a democracy instead of a republic," he explained.

Gietl agrees. "Unfortunately these color revolution organizations that have been used to attack foreign enemies are being directed to set their sights on the American people," Gietl said in a statement to Blaze News. "These groups and the U.S. State Department that funds them aren’t loyal to the Constitution or even the American people. They’ve sworn allegiance to the oligarchical bureaucracy that rules us."

Gietl also celebrates the move by congressional Republicans to push back against this globalist aggression, calling it "an important first step."

"Every American should be enraged our tax dollars are being spent funding foreign NGOs who then attack elected members of Congress and journalists who question U.S. involvement in this war. It has become a tactic to smear anyone on the right or anti-war as being Russian disinformation shills. We’re not going to stand for it.

"Blaze Media is going to keep the pressure on until every American taxpayer dollar is stripped from them."

Texty.org denies creating an "enemies list" or a "kill list." "The editorial team of Texty.org.ua does not deny, condemn, or dispute the right of American citizens, media, and institutions to express any opinions or hold any political beliefs. We value and respect freedom of speech, which is essential for a democratic society," a statement from Texty.org read in part.

Why Glenn Beck is on a US-funded Ukrainian ‘ENEMIES’ list



A Ukrainian publication has placed dozens of American politicians, activists, and media outlets on a list of those allegedly known to have shared Russian disinformation or otherwise made anti-Ukrainian statements.

Glenn Beck and Blaze Media made the list, which was published in an article titled, Rollercoaster: From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the US impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it.

There are 388 people and 76 publications on the list, and Glenn is shocked.

“Why is The Blaze, why am I on this list?” he asks. “Because I believe I’m telling you exactly what’s happening. We have a color revolution happening within our own government, within the NGOs and George Soros and all those people.”

The publication, Texty.org.ua, was founded by Anatoly Bondarenko — who was involved in the TechCamp, which is a public diplomacy program established by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.

“The TechCamp is when they go into these countries where they’re going to do a color revolution, and they find all these tech-savvy people, and they show them how to build movements against their government. That’s what our State Department is doing,” Glenn explains.

“Would they like to clarify this, would anyone like to make a public statement on why we’re there, and you know, curious why the editor in chief and the cofounder was trained by the State Department?” Glenn asks. “It’s really interesting that this organization has ties to the State Department and USAID. Their founder was a part of the TechCamps.”

“It’s almost like we’ve been outed for saying bad things about the State Department and the U.S. government perpetrating color revolutions and saying this is how they do it and so then, they have a shell organization that they themselves have created to what? Prove me right?”

Frequent target of Antifa violence has car ransacked while reporting on Andy Ngo trial where attorney declared 'I am Antifa'



Katie Daviscourt of the Post Millennial has been covering fellow journalist Andy Ngo's trial against Antifa, which came to a troubling conclusion this week.

After the time the radical leftists accused of assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress discovered they would not be held liable by an Oregon jury — which had raised concerns about being doxxed — Daviscourt discovered her car had been ransacked and picked clean.

What's the background?

Ngo, demonized by Rolling Stone and other leftist blogs, has been allegedly attacked by black-bloc militants on numerous occasions, perhaps most viciously on June 29, 2019, in Portland, Oregon.

The journalist tweeted after one the initial beatings he suffered that day, "Attacked by antifa. Bleeding. They stole my camera equipment. No police until after. waiting for ambulance. If you have evidence of attack please help."

Police allegedly refused to intervene or arrest anyone despite extensive video evidence.

One of the unprovoked attacks was caught on video by reporter Jim Ryan.

In the wake of the attack, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called for an investigation and House Leader Kevin McCarthy (R) stressed, "The hate and violence perpetrated by Antifa must be condemned in the strongest possible way by all Americans."

Even liberals conceded the attacks were egregious, with CNN's Jake Tapper observing on Twitter, "Antifa regularly attacks journalists; it's reprehensible."

Ngo filed an action in Portland against Rose City Antifa and alleged Antifa members Benjamin Bolen, John Hacker, Corbyn Belyea, Joseph Evans, Madison Allen, and others, claiming assault and other injuries, seeking at least $900,000 in damages, for the June 29, 2019, assault as well as for other attacks.

Hot Air reported that Rose City Antifa was dropped from the action by a judge on July 14 "on the grounds that an unassociated entity cannot be sued." Three other individuals were found "in default." Ngo reached a settlement with Bolen.

The remaining defendants, John Hacker and Elizabeth Richter — whose attorney reportedly indicated that she "does not like Ngo" and has admitted to making violent threats toward the journalist — were still fair game.

The trial for the alleged Antifa "doxxers" began July 31.

Daviscourt, a troubled courtroom, and an Antifa attorney

Katie Daviscourt is a Seattle-based reporter who previously covered the farmer rebellion in the Netherlands for Rebel News and got her start reporting on the ruinous 2020 BLM riots.

Like Ngo, Daviscourt, now with the Post Millennial, has reportedly been subjected to abuse and harassment by alleged members of Antifa on multiple occasions, including during the trial.

For instance while covering a leftist demonstration on May 1, 2022, in Seattle, she was assaulted on camera by a leftist militant.

Last December, she was allegedly swarmed and robbed by Antifa thugs.

Daviscourt covered the Ngo-Antifa trial until the jury reached its verdict Tuesday.

The Oregonian reported that the Multnomah County jury of six men and six women cleared Hacker and Richter of all civil liability after nearly five hours of deliberation.

Daviscourt noted that the judge presiding over the case, Chanpone Sinlapasai of the 4th Judicial District Circuit Court of Oregon, "informed the court that the trial's jurors have raised concerns about being 'doxed,' and claimed that people have been trying to find out their realities."

Possibly compounding these fears, Michelle Burrows, defense lawyer for the radical leftist defendants, told the jurors she "will remember each one of their faces" and declared, "I am Antifa."

Burrows had also made a point during the trial of making clear, "Resistance in this country has never been peaceful."

Following the jury's verdict, Daviscourt reportedly made her way to her car to find that it had been ransacked.

Another apparent target for the left

Daviscourt noted on Twitter that she found her car by her hotel with its windows "busted out, items were stolen, and personal identification documents were taken—I’m obviously upset."

Her publication intimated that the theft of identifying documents is of great concern, especially since the defendants had taken such a special interest in her reportage.

Richter allegedly labeled Daviscourt a "fascist" and expressed disapproval of her coverage of the trial.

One of Richter's comrades allegedly joined the defendant in urging Daviscourt inside an elevator at the courthouse after castigating her.

Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk indicated that Daviscourt, threatened earlier in the day, had fled the area to safety upon finding her car smashed up.

The Post Millennial said in a statement, "Looks like the work of Antifa. Her crime? Journalism. @KatieDaviscourt is brave and we need more brave souls like her."

Savanah Hernandez of TPUSA wrote to Daviscourt, "Katie, you're braver than most. Good job reporting on these domestic terrorists. Your journalism is heroic."

Daviscourt's former boss, Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant, tweeted, "Katie is covering Andy Ngo's trial and she has covered Antifa for years -- this is their vengeance on her. I sat in the courtroom for one day and it resembled nothing so much as a mafia trial -- with Antifa thugs menacing the jurors from the public gallery. They're terrorists."

TheBlaze reached out to Daviscourt for comment, but had yet to receive a response at the time of publication.

As for the trial's result, Harmeet K. Dhillon, founder of the Center for American Liberty — the nonprofit that represented Ngo in the case — said in a statement, "We are evaluating the next steps in this case, but hear this: I will not stand by idly while violent criminals seek to silence American journalists, and this is but one stop in a long journey. Thank you to all the people who contributed to Andy's legal fund, and who made this case possible up to this point."

Donovan believes that if independent journalists did not record the violence, then the violence would not inspire others to be violent as well. In other words, if we didn't talk about it, it wouldn't exist.
