The wildly outspoken left-wingers of this community resisted his efforts with all of their politically correct and politically connected might and merely went into their bureaucratic bunkers until GW went away and his people stopped annoying them. In the meantime, the junketing, the meaningless but elaborate meetings in top international resorts, the incredibly high salaries, the incestuous revolving door between favored FSO's, the NGO community, and UN committees continued unabated. Their projects, which have no beginning, no middle, and certainly never an end, live on and flourish on our dime. Results? The only one I ever saw was an elaborate lifestyle enjoyed by those in charge.

Very Typical Example: A 2-week meeting on the AIDS Situation in Africa was held in Phuket, Thailand. Official results: "If an African Child loses both parents to AIDS, it seems that ... gasp ... that child will be considered an "orphan," according to WHO/UN Guidelines." Of course, the NGO representatives did not return home after this conference, but instead went to WHO HQ in Lausanne to review these earth-shattering findings with UN representatives. On and on for 8 years.

Question: If GW's first administration, which if one recalls, had both Houses, could make no headway against this entrenched cartel, how specifically are we to "Defund The Left," which has been building this juggernaut since the 1930's?

The Federal Government operates on its own, and is 100% Left-Wing from top to bottom in every agency ... with the possible exception of a few Mormon FBI agents! The higher echelon of DC is staffed today by the grandchildren of loony-left socialists who literally came to town with FDR. Your elected Republican Representative in all likelihood staffs his DC operation with them!

We can do very little about the Democrat Party. What we can do is figure out how to lay the moribund Republican Party to rest with minimal long-term damage. The Republican Establishment long ago traded safe seats for complaisance. I have no idea how to fix something like a Boehner. I have no idea how we are supposed to resist the dominant ideology.

The only glimmer of hope for constitutional principle rests in the arduous task of reforming state and local goverments in those areas in which an intelligent electorate can still be found.

Notice: A lot of humans were harmed so far in the making of this production, but relatively not that many considering that it's just getting started.

Back in the heady early days of GW's first term, a redoubtable Bush trooper, Jim Nazios, was tasked with "reforming" or something, the USAID/State Department/NGO amalgam that was literally spending billions every year with no oversight, no documentable results, and according to vague and UN-inspired agenda.

Andrew S. Natsios worked at USAID from 1989 to 1991, after which he held more government / relief organization jobs, until he was appointed administrator of USAID in 2001, a post he held until he resigned in 2006. As the agency's chief, with a long history working in that field, it would be expected that not much would change during his tenure. "Reforming" is not needed so much as shutting down, which has been called for in the past.

The following AEI policy paper goes all through this past, but artfully neglects to mention anything related to the Soros network, and showing complete disdain for sunlight, neglect to mention the lawsuit AOSI v. USAID Soros's Open Society Institute filed against USAID. While the paper drones on and on about reform, it hides the fact that Soros is sucking possibly billions out of it and that his organizations are the organizers of of arab spring in all of the nations we see it happening. The idea is quite clear - the foreign meddling has been outsourced under the guise of aid to third parties who have considerable influence in who gets placed in power when their "revolution" is over. Also, notably, very little mention is made of U.N. and various elite think tanks, etc. When one starts researching from that end, one finds the U.S. government and all the familiar organizations happily participating together in globalist policy development.

The paper:

The Trouble with USAID

Yes, grassroots small business and the general public is what this JCSB Think Tank would have to be about: awareness, monitoring, publishing, educating, etc. All about the real policy creators - think tanks, etc., and what they are currently up to. All demographics, using various avenues of approach, reach out to various societal institutions, etc., need to be part of the mix of tactics.

The idea is to get public outcry going, slowly, over time, by working with key groups and expanding strategically. If you notice with left wing ideas, once they think they have enough of the public "ok" with their changes, they make campaigns aimed at legislators. But the public has been warmed up to the idea and they've built some organization that sounds like it has thousands of activist members. This makes the Congressman ready to deal. The think tank won't do lobbying, others will do that, but the think tank will come up with the research and analysis, and do general advocacy for principles, work with other organizations, etc.

USAID, for example, would be gone if the next time someone in Congress calls for it, the idea is wildly popular.
