Message: USAID tax dollars went to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s “Archwell Foundation.” Royals pocketed $13,004,470 tax dollars. Harry’s got US tax dollars and he’s not even a US citizen. Their lavish lifestyle includes: globe-trotting in a private jet, living in a huge luxe mansion in ritzy Santa Barbara.

We demand this money be returned to struggling working class taxpayers at once.

I think of the opening scene in "My Man Godfrey" (available free on line, and worth the time) where the matron of the Estate explains to newly arrived Godfrey why he has been brought to a fancy ball as the object of a scavenger hunt.

It's just the honor of winning. The money goes to charity. That is, if there's any money left over, and there never is.

There was a year where Archwell had no significant donations except an anonymous $11,000,000. Since USAID shows up nowhere else, that's likely it. WE kept the grift going.

I have thought what he wrote for years..but did not think it went that deep into our government. I had thought the grifting really got obvious under the Clintons...they just enlarged and perfected it...now the grift is de rigueur..But Kunstler did an excellent analysis. Bookmarking it.

If Hillary Clinton isn’t acting scared, we’re not over the target.

Kunstler is one of best wordsmiths around.

He’s also a disgruntled democrat who is fed up with his parties corruption and behavior in the Trump Era.

It’s obvious to me that the wellspring for donations to Democrat campaigns is drying up. Fund raising for Dems and RINOs will be very difficult for them in 2026 and beyond.

Such a clever wordsmith. Loved the clear question -- "Who made mental illness aspirational?"

Democrats and their "adjacent" Assistant Democrats, of course, and always about "show me the money."

Don’t leave out Joe Biden who owns six luxury homes - supposedly paid for on a senator’s salary.

The only one I ever heard call this out was Rush Limbaugh.

Let’s hope that 2020 was the “last hurrah!” They turned on all the spigots and grabbed what they could for 4 years.

I am still trying to figure out if this is only 4 more good years, or something more permanent.

”a cause that sounds philanthropic, like ‘Save the Orphans of Sadville’”

And when they don’t have enough orphans for the cameras, they make more.

Our government has become like any other organized crime family, except for years and years they have operated under the guise of ‘public service’ and they’ve controlled law enforcement to a level the mafia could only dream about.

You begin to detect that by “our democracy” they actually meant “our everlasting grift.”
And it didn’t die in darkness — it thrived, grew, and spread in the moist bureaucratic darkness like the Devil’s own slime mold. And now it is being revealed, to the astonished disgust of slightly more than half the nation that was not on-the-take.
Turn over a log in the woods and you have the metaphor for “our democracy.” Countless hundred-footed things slither around under it, their feeding interrupted .

When liberals say 'my democracy' I hear Gollum saying 'my precious'...

It was same as an organized on social media style ‘smash and grab.’ They all met up at the 7-11 at 10PM.

I can only guess John Brennan and Samantha Power expected to steal all elections going forward so the NGO steal would never be uncovered, that and they intended to crash the economic system, to break the back of the USA along with destroying the middle class with 87,000 new IRS agents all done to allow Klaus Schwab and Yuval Noah Harari to then bring in their WEF ‘great reset’ and build back better. The USA would be waiting with the outstretched open arms of Barrack Obama.

Burn it all down and no one is gonna care about looking at the receipts.

Their end game whether they understand or not was to enable the anti-Christ Beast System to rise up across the world by binding the strongman USA and its constitutionally protected freedoms.

Marxist Generative AI models ala CCP China is the Image of the Beast they intend to use on us all.

Jesus and his authority is still too strong in the USA for them.
“Now the Lord is that Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17

This is why their new faxed in narrative talking points phrase to be used by their tools everywhere is ‘Constitutional Crisis’

To answer your question though, they are not done. They will be back and they are liars all and they are of their Father Satan.

Thank you for bringing up one of my favorite movies of all time. It was the origin of “The Forgottten Man.”
