IMHO, long overdue…
August 13, 2025: The current American president ordered audits organizations many had long suspected of diverting the money to recipients that would support anti American groups, lavish salaries for pro-government officials as well as foreign nation officials who responded to large bribes to see things the American way or just to oblige the recipients to one day return or carry out tasks requested by the current president.
Over 250 NGOs received most of this money and distributed according to what the current American president wanted. The recent U.S. government audits of most of these activities continued into 2025 because the NGOs and their government handlers believed they were immune to fraud claims because their activities served the wishes of whatever Presidential administration was in power. They were wrong and audits named names, and suggested cutting the money off and prosecuting those responsible. Those investigations and prosecutions continue.
The current government wants to destroy these practices. This does not surprise a lot of Americans who already knew that something like this was suspected because there had been rumors and stories in the news detailing some of this malpractice. These accusations were always ignored or denied.

This was published a week ago, but I’m just now catching up on my reading…
As anybody who has served in the military and been overseas knows, NGOs are the bane of our national policy.
Why, you may ask, do I say that if the are ‘doing the will of the administration’?
Well, because it long ago became what the NGOs ‘wanted’ to do and there was little to no check placed on them to ensure they were actually spending the money where it was supposed to go.
Everybody remembers the kerfuffle a few years ago over the salaries at the Red Cross, which is an NGO, but it’s even worse today. Reference HERE. And some of us have personal stories of the ARC trying to take over emergency relief in various places, including trying to ban volunteers from operating (Cajun Navy), providing free food (bbq, HEB providing water, etc.) and collecting money for EVERY emergency that happens, and they say they spend almost 90% of funds on “program services.” So no one really knows how much actually gets to the flood victims, etc.
Another huge NGO is now the United Nations. They spread food and other ‘relief’ around the world, but a lot of it ends up stolen by boots on the ground, much like the US Aid relief packages of food, flour, etc. you can see for sale in most third world souks…
And that’s not counting the relief workers that are raped, killed, etc. every year.
The original premise was ‘doing good’, but that has morphed to what the NGO leaders, e.g. ‘we’ think is good. And many of them are westerners, who have zero understanding of what is ‘good’ in a particular country…
So yes, I agree, audit the hell out of them. Charge them and send the guilty to prison! And take that capability and put in under control with audits, transparency, and knowledgeable people who are not out to feather their own nests…
Kicking the soapbox back in the corner and going to go find my BP meds.
