501 C-3 & 501 C-4 (educational focus) take inheritances and use them to set up tax-free structures, even if the enterprise has an income stream. The *profit* is subsumed in salaries to the principles, who are usually the inheritors and their siblings/friends. They now have CEO-type status and personal power from being able to hire and approve grants. The BoDs can be packed to suit the founders’ agendas.
I believe they are liable for personal income taxes on their *salaries*.
These non-profits can be force multipliers. They provide agenda focus. They lure the next generation of activists/organizers and provide the resume. People compete for unpaid or stipend-level internships. They provide seed money for activism and are also recipients of funds from less-focused inheritors who can buy credibility with tax-free donations.
We’ve commented before on how corporations seemed to make a huge leftward turn in the past 30 years or so. In some generationally-wealthy families, directorships are handed to heirs at the same time as access to their trust funds. This gives them both an income and a voice in management. Enough of these type directorships can eventually sway a corporation.
There are also public Boards that disseminate grants, supposedly on merit. These are populated with the wives/daughters of the politically powerful donor class and are not compensated. I have served on one of these (State Arts Board)in the 1980s as the sole member representing the target population and observed that 90% of the grants are given to the well-endowed, admission-charging activities of the powerful/wealthy (Opera, Repertory,prominent museums) and not, as advertised, to the struggling artists seeking small amounts to complete projects. When I complained, the tape recorder was turned off and I was admonished that such grants were legal. These Boards of the National endowments also wield power and are a subtle payoff to the families of the elite.
It might be instructional to research the BoDs of the most radical corporations and see the compensation and the direction taken by the corporation. Not sure how much of all this is public. I am posting based on factoids dropped by such people back over 30 years ago.
If that was Bennett, he was so egregiously ****ed over by Zero and the deep state that I can forgive his little score-settling swerve. He can cool off a couple days ;)
Chinese are used to being subjects. Europeans had stones at one time.
Flynn was a registered foreign agent for Turkey...
Exactly what happened for me.
They are Kurds, wrong 'tribe'.
I agree with your assessment. Well put together!
Remember the deliciously insane brawl with Scaramucci and his antagonists, if only for a week? So there IS precedent ;)
He can (and does) put his picks in on other terms. Recess appointment is impossible, the Senate runs pro forma sessions to cut off that possibility.
People are barely aware of how utterly corrupt and dysfunctional Congress is. Totally owned by deep state. Failed institution.
I humbly disagree.
I think the EU power is waning and the decent people in Europe will get their countries back again.
Iran has an ancient history and was invaded by mohammedans a few hundred years ago (can’t remember dates) but Bill Warner knows all the history of the Islamic invasions. Iran was Zoroastrian for a couple thousand years but they were forcibly converted or killed in order to turn the country mohammedan. Even now there are Jews, Christians and Bahais there, for starters. Some Zoroastrians went to India and are now called Parsees.
See it True Fact and it was posted.
Well played.

The Lesser Oracle
If some peoples’ analyses prove correct, the congressional sex fund list of wrongdoers will take out a lot of Dems in the near future, both House and Senate. It is thought that many of the “deciding to spend more time with my family” R dropouts are wrongdoers on that list.
The MUUCH has been on FOX several times supporting DJT. No bad feelings
That's a great concept. I think we should make it our theme song...and then someone can get Van to come and sing for us!! Thanks for posting the lyrics.
IMHO Q posted the link to AJ’s divorce because AJ is an agent provocateur. I have always thought so.
When I saw he was connected to Alex Jones I never watched him.I have a couple insiders I like.
