🧵THREAD: How Samantha Power gave USGLC power over USAID

(Thanks to @J_P1776 for the breadcrumb)

In 2022, USAID Administrator Samantha Power resurrected an old, mostly-forgotten advisory board, ACVFA (Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid) and gave it a new mission:

Bring America's top NGOs, business leaders, and global development experts directly into USAID's decision making.

In order to do so, she tapped her peers from the US Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC). ACVFA pre-dates USAID, but did not have the influence it has now.

Until Power came on stage, ACVFA had met infrequently, their last meeting having been in 2019, and before that, 2017.

But Power's re-imagined ACVFA was to evolve it "to be not just an advisor to USAID, but a bridge linking the institution of USAID to nongovernmental organizations, to the private sector, to religious leaders, to civil society."

🧵 Lobbying and Donations of USGLC Companies

(Inspired by @Frogman_Pilot )

Which party receives donations from both USGLC member companies and their employees?

Let's start with Land O'Lakes, which was a surprise recipient of 100 million in USAID money.

The company's donations are split and relatively small, but they do spend an increasing volume of money in lobbying. Amy Klobuchar is the top recipient of funds.

80% of their 2024 employee donations go to Democratic candidates.

🔵 Democratic candidates: $24,250 (80.3%)
🔴 Republican candidates: $1,385 (4.6%)
⚪️ Other — PACs & committees: $4,550 (15.1%)
For Walt Disney Co., the numbers are similar. 63.4% of employee donations are to the Democratic party. The company itself spends 5 million on lobbying annually. Donations started decoupling in the Democratic favor around 2008.

Although USGLC was founded in 1995, it only gained federal prominence in the 2008 cycle. Bill Gates gave USGLC its first big investment in 2007.

🔵 Democratic candidates: $20,400 (63.4%)
🔴 Republican candidates: $5,500 (17.1%)
⚪️ Other — PACs & committees: $6,300 (19.5%)

Oh, fun. USGLC removed their "Our Board" page. But I saved it all. I'll add some extra mentions that weren't in the last thread. This one contains many of the names already, which I verified through Google:

🧵 THREAD - US Global Leadership Corporation, representing 400 NGOs

Nicolas Turza, the person who got exposed by @JamesOKeefeIII and OMG, was featured in the following YouTube video by an interesting super-NGO - the US Global Leadership Corporation.

In the video, he argues for the involvement of USAID and Department of State in military operations. US Global Leadership Corporation on its Youtube Channel describes itself as representing 400 NGOs and businesses. Its mission - "support the smart power approach of elevating diplomacy and development alongside defense in order to build a better, safer world."

If you've been with me long enough, you know that is code word for increasing NGO influence in military affairs.

🧵🚨 Hidden UN App Preinstalled on Samsung Phones: Your Tax Dollars at Work

Thank you @MrsDrLinda for the tip.

Did you know your Samsung phone might be quietly running a United Nations app you didn't ask for?

It's called Samsung Global Goals, and it's preinstalled by default on some Samsung Galaxy devices. Yes, really.

Let’s break it down. 👇 The app promotes the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like global redistribution, "climate and environmental degradation," and "inequality."

It was developed by Samsung, but in direct partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

It's their agenda, on your phone.

Completely independent of tariffs, we need to have a frank conversation about why so many seniors are financially dependent on the stock market, especially when fixed-interest instruments are have been offering attractive yields. This is the kind of investment advice that was common in my 20s:

📊 ANALYSIS: Is there a last minute 🔴 red surge? 🗳️

One of the big questions today: have Republicans regained momentum heading into Election Day? We can’t answer that definitively for Wisconsin, but early Florida numbers offer some insight.

So far, here’s how it looks:

✅ Early voting in FL's CD-1 and CD-6 broke down to: 🔴 51.0% Republican
🔵 34.8% Democrat
➡️ R advantage: +16.2%

📅 In the 2024 cycle, Election Day votes have tended to lean about 6% redder than early votes.

🔴 As of this morning, Election Day voting is breaking: 🔴 57.79% Republican
🔵 26.19% Democrat
➡️ R advantage: +31.6%, or 15.4% redder than early vote

⚠️ Caveats: It’s still early in the day, special elections don’t draw many independents, and we expect that R+31.6% margin to narrow as more ballots come in.

🧮 Turnout is key: In 2024, Election Day made up about 22% of the Florida vote. Right now, there are 15,605 Election Day votes, which is 7.6% of early vote totals.

For GOP momentum to look real, that number would need to hit ~53,646.

Bottom line:
We may or may not be seeing late Republican momentum—but we definitely aren’t seeing a Democratic one. TL;DR: Keep watching the total Election Day votes on the live Florida map. If we exceed ~53,646 Election Day votes, we may be seeing a last minute momentum for Republicans. datarepublican.com/florida/

🔥 UPDATE: 🔥

So, two days ago, the doxxing website DOGEQUEST, primed by an article by the @sltrib, slapped my husband’s distillery front and center in an attempt to intimidate and silence me.

To be honest, it did get me down.

And … congratulations, they might have achieved their goal. We might just have to shutter the whole operation…

… because my husband just now notified me our entire inventory got nearly cleared out in 48 hours flat. His multi-year productions, all of which he personally oversaw and toiled over. All bought out in the blink of an eye.

Terrorists lose this round.

And I have a great feeling that this is going to similarly backfire against @Tesla . There is a miraculous element to this, IMHO.

We had been trying many months to sell our product online with little success.

It is not a coincidence of the Lord that we finally went online, just one day after he got doxxed in the worst way possible by a viral website.

I pray that every patriot takes encouragement from this.

💎 DUPLICATE SMALL DOLLAR DONATIONS IN KANSAS LOCAL RACES

Following the discovery of @matt_vanswol’s report on fraudulent donations in Kansas, I analyzed four local candidates’ filings. I uncovered 13 donors who each made identical donations to the same candidate on the same date—10 of these donors were from out of state. These same contributors also appeared across most of the nine candidates that Mr. Van Swol donated to, but I focused on these four reports.

Here are the names I found which appeared across all 4 reports. All dates and amounts were same:

🔷 Benjamin k Hand, 10/10/20, $2.00/$1.00, CA
🔷 Chia Yuan Hung, 10/10/20, $1.00, NY
🔷 Dawn Hoffman, 10/10/20, $1.00, FL
🔷 Elaina Rose, 10/10/20, $10.00, WA
🔷 Jennifer Forbes, 10/10/20, $2.00, KS
🔷 Kathleen Newman, 08/04/20, $32.00, KS
🔷 Margaret Pisciotta, 09/18/20, $4.00, KS
🔷 Martha Teitelbaum, 10/10/20, $1.00, MD
🔷 Matthew Van Swol, 09/01/20, $2.00, NC
🔷 Rena Korb, 10/10/20, $1.00, CA
🔷 Ryan Ward, 10/10/20, $1.00, CA
🔷 Tamir Avital, 10/10/20, $4.00, CA
🔷 Teresa Lewis-Hutson, 09/02/20, $1.00, MO

Receipts follow.

🧵 THREAD: Unmasking Swatting Patterns 🧵

Three additional MAGA X influencers got swatted today: @Beard_Vet , @matt_vanswol , @GrageDustin .

I used Grok to compile the following list of swatting victims and then ran it through both Grok and OpenAI’s deep research tools to find common patterns.

I also used AI to analyze who wasn’t swatted, to identify differentiating factors. Finally, I attempt to identify the next high priority targets. Thread follows. 👇 @Beard_Vet @matt_vanswol @GrageDustin The top AI identifying factor among swatted victims: association with @elonmusk , and/or prominence in alt-media such as InfoWars or War Room.

Documenting receipts (sorry, this will be slow):

Hello Mr. Ludd,

The question is not whether such awards exist—I have already acknowledged that they do. The issue at hand is not a matter of finding a counter-example and declaring the metric validated. The real question is which heuristic is more accurate: relying on "current award value" or assuming that contractors typically spend up to their maximum authority.

The scale of relevant awards is vast—tens of thousands exceed $1 million and collectively amount to trillions. In contrast, you have cited only a few dozen exceptions. You are not providing not a refutation; you prove to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how heuristic correctness is determined.

Historically and consistently, contractors spend to their maximum authority. Given this reality, the most accurate heuristic for estimating savings is to use potential award value.

I trust this clarifies the point. In my initial run, which processed the first 60,000 rows, I did not find these awards—my hard drive overheated long before I could complete a full pass through the database. In a later run, which I referenced in another post, I did identify two such awards. That discrepancy is a matter of sampling size, not an issue with the query itself.

I’ll now attempt a full run, which should capture the awards you found.

🧵 (Re-posting after it was accidentally made exclusive)

Doing a thought-of-consciousness thread here. First up, Troublemakers. They are small and grassroots, with no EIN that I could link to them yet. They were featured in a news article wherein they asked Amazon to stop buying fracked gas from GTN XPress - which seems to be a highly specific request.

A name I found was Valerie Costa. Valerie Costa of Troublemakers has an article on Medium. medium.com/@valeriecosta/…

🧵 THREAD: Ahead of @DOGE_GSA 's 65 billion re-negotiation with the big contracting companies, I took a quick look at their awards.

First up: Ernst & Young. Uncle Sam cut them a $9 million check for—wait for it—a "Supply Chain Funds Reimbursement Administrator."

Forget STEM, folks—federal consulting is the real money printer! 🤑

Award: CONT_AWD_273FCC24F0052_2700_47QRAD19DU201_4732 @DOGE_GSA 🚨 HUD also gave Ernst & Young $838,195 to “improve its strategic approach” for... its own initiatives.

Translation: Nearly a million bucks to shuffle paperwork, check some boxes, and make sure they comply with policies they wrote themselves.

2025 SOTU LIVE COMMENTARY THREAD -

Disclaimer: Terrible at this kind of thing, you're probably way better off following someone else. Watching Fox News now. Lots of JD Vance. He is a once-ina-generation talent and hopefully he can be no. 48.

🧵 I was curious about this coordination, so I dived into this with AI and came up with a lot of names. Thread follows:

First off, the Senate Democratic Caucus operates a Senate Democratic Media Center (SDMC), which “serves as a one-stop-shop for Democratic offices looking for high-level digital assets,” providing video editors, studios, and digital strategists for coordinated content.

AI speculates that content was centrally developed – most likely under the direction of Senate Democratic leadership’s communications arm – and then executed by the senators’ communications staff in coordination.

But the rabbit hole doesn't end here. Hang on... AI speculates one specific person is leading this: Justin Goodman, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's former communications director.

And indeed, if you go to his website, his biography brags about him as “the chief spokesman for every Senate battle in recent memory.”

The International Republican Institute's website is down, supposedly to "mitigate expenses." But maintaining a mostly static site isn’t expensive. Does replacing a few biographies with an outage banner actually save money? Or is there another reason they pulled the plug?

@IRIglobal any comments? They seem awfully defensive here. Rich, particularly since they financed mass migration NGOs:

I received some interesting info from a credible source, as follows. @DOGE_TREAS may want to know if they don't already:

One of the lasting impacts of the PATRIOT Act is its requirement for financial institutions to report all transactions over $3,000 to the U.S. Treasury—a threshold that has never been adjusted for inflation. This data-sharing framework, originally intended to track illicit financial activity, also allows financial institutions to share transaction insights with each other under absolute legal immunity.

In practice, this means that major financial institutions effectively operate their own version of FinCEN internally, gaining a comprehensive, real-time view of global money movements. While regulatory safeguards exist to ensure this data is used strictly for financial crime enforcement, it's highly likely that the Treasury’s vast database holds key records on NGO funding flows.

Yet, there’s a growing concern that Treasury itself isn’t actively monitoring this data—outsourcing the heavy lifting to financial institutions instead. Whether due to oversight or intent, this leaves critical financial crime data untouched at the federal level.

Could this be why some are so resistant to @DOGE's involvement in Treasury systems? It’s less about routine transactions and more about preventing independent analysis of a financial intelligence goldmine. @DOGE_TREAS Source concludes: "Maybe this is why everyone is so keen to keep DOGE out of the Treasury systems. It isn’t about Social Security checks, it is more about people rooting through the FinCEN database."
