Powerful forces in these NGOs mean Congress is incapable of attacking donors. We have found a way to use taxpayer money to fund causes that hurt taxpayers. Remarkable.

Lord have mercy, are you kidding? Unbelievable sums of money! Can we just render them illegal and make them all reapply for whatever status a sensible government wants to call them?

This would require congress to write a law that would directly cut the very donations in to its collective coffers. When politicians are beneficiaries of corruption, there will be no efforts to reform it.

The US is another Ukraine just on a bigger scale with more oligarchs.

Well said! All business activity deserves the same tax treatment, so either eliminate corporate taxes are start taxing non charity NGOs.

USAID has shown what a corruption of NGOs has become. Thank goodness USAID was shut down. Now go after these NGOs funding activists and domestic terrorists, ie Soros Open Society!

I just love that Marco Rubio came out last week and said we're no longer going to go through NGOs to help our partner countries... we're going to give the money directly to their government and track from beginning to end how it's used where it's used and who used it... could that be the Palantir technology that will be doing that?

Congress can pass legislation as you outlined, but that’s like asking the fox to guard the henhouse.

As an end-around Congress, Is not the Treasury legally empowered to go after these entities and, in concert with the IRS, able to investigate and deny their tax deferments? A moratorium on all new and existing 501c organizations should be instituted, pending rigorous investigations into every single one of them.

These entities have become a “nation unto themselves”, literally waging war against our own country from within.

That cannot be allowed to stand, and

should be considered a National Security issue.

It is beyond imperative to shut them down, or, at the very least, create stricter guardrails and limitations to inhibit these monsters from ever attaining such vast unaccountable power.

The final stage of decline isn’t collapse.

It’s normalization.

When desperation feels ordinary,

no one expects better anymore.

Hey @therealamuse, NGOs shaping society? The Reece Committee's 1950s exposé on tax-exempt foundations shows it's not new—they were weaponized then, too. My article, "Weaponized Philanthropy: The Reece Committee's Buried Warning to America," reveals how history repeats itself. Read it at https://sleuthfox.substack.com/p/weaponized-philanthropy-the-reece and wake up to the danger.

How many $’s lost to the treasury thru this mechanism? That answer would be a good talking point, especially if parsed by entity size, transparency, etc.

At least Soros lives in the United States. Rupert Murdock who supporting MAG terrorist lives in Australia. Americans don't want a foreigner interfering in US politics. He needs to be investigated.

Does this include churches?

Ruth H's avatar

Yes, as stated in article; however, most churches do not have huge assets and run on an actual budget. These huge churches, like Joel Obsteen’s (sp?) most likely have abundant assets and do not deserve a tax-free income.

End tax exemptions for “non-profits” now.
