My latest articles are no-brainers. APEs - activist groups, foundations and UN agencies aren't NGOs like those in the field supporting the poor and vulnerable. So why do we extend the trust surplus onto them? Because these lobbyists take care of themselves https://t.co/9wbbsj8Vtr https://t.co/ePHqIPtyTL

What is the difference between NGOs and APEs? We need to distinguish these two different stakeholders in order to promote real betterment for humanity rather than letting dogmatic ideologues waste precious resources. My latest @the_firebreak in two parts. https://t.co/9wbbsj8Vtr https://t.co/fEXZOwC0Ue

RT @the_firebreak: Part 1 of @zaruk's differentiation of APEs from the NGO stakeholder class has been translated into German. https://t.co/…

APEs suck all the oxygen (and funding) out of the room. Part 2 "More attention and funding has been directed toward the politically connected APEs who are relentlessly lobbying governments, reducing the support for NGO groups and volunteers actually doing the work in the field."

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

Why do we need to distinguish APEs from NGOs? Unlike NGOs, APEs are political, well-funded and cunning. @zaruk shows how this group shouldn't be excluded from transparency, paying taxes or declaring income. NGOs earned our trust. APEs shouldn't be trusted https://t.co/DhsOgrx2fq

In separating APEs from NGOs, we can have clearer policies on public funding, taxation and transparency. And in decoupling these different groups, more funding could be made available to humanitarian groups. It's time for activist groups to stop hiding behind the NGO virtue halo

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

We shouldn't be grouping humanitarians protecting the vulnerable with politically-driven activist groups, calling both NGOs. They are very different. @zaruk proposes a new term: Alternative Policy Enterprises in Pt 1 of a reframing of stakeholder dialogue. https://t.co/4XiQ1ukar0

Why Germany can't have nice things... My latest @the_firebreak

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

The German Green-Socialist coalition funded an NGO called "Grannies against the Right" that went to CDU election rallies to attack Merz. German government NGO grants must be apolitical. @zaruk had to go to a traditional source to grasp this. https://t.co/Ay8aXntesZ #HellsGrannies https://t.co/u9nYCBcEQl

Bias test... What if RFK Jr's autism study concludes that the cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder is: - vaccines? ➡️ban MMR - processed food? ➡️ban UPFs - pesticides? ➡️ban conventional agriculture - mobile phones and EMF? ➡️Call for more studies But he sounds so genuine...

I needed to qualify this. "It is not a deep state as conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr (a.k.a.“Q”) claim exists, but rather quasi-government operatives in large NGOs determining policies below the surface." How did net-zero control policy for the last decade? ECF's main strategy.

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

From 2022-25, the German Socialists and Greens pumped funding into left-wing NGOs to promote their interests and campaign against the CDU. A parliamentary inquiry suggests they set up a form of deep state parallel power. @zaruk considers how this works. https://t.co/Ay8aXntesZ https://t.co/NOIeoy9nQ7

A German parliamentary inquiry asked 551 questions into NGO abuse of government funds. It was worth translating the document into English (link in article). It shows that even the Socialists and the Greens are unaware of how the NGOs were spending public funds against German law.

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

A German CDU-CSU inquiry into NGO funding and transparency asked 551 questions on how the German government coalition funded activist groups to campaign against right-wing parties in the last election. @zaruk shows how they are only scratching the surface. https://t.co/Ay8aXntesZ

Why satire is effective ... and why it is badly in need today. My latest Monger piece gave options for managing 45 more months of mental madness. But as we have no leaders prepared to take a stand, we must stand on satire. https://t.co/dQlJWJRCO0 https://t.co/on35tJsiYU

Does the economic wealth, peace and security of the entire world need to hang on the whim of an ignorant sociopath in Washington? My latest offers advice for how the rest of the world can get through the next 45 months. If only we had leaders with courage. https://t.co/dQlJWJR4Ys

This popped up in my Memories today. Not much has changed since that Age of Stupid. https://t.co/LnxedYVR28

You really can't make this sh!t up

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

Healthcare depends on trust. People need to trust their doctors, hospitals, drug suppliers... If mistakes are made, the scientific process would correct it. Is it a good idea to put the trust-busters in power? Does it help they have no medical experience? https://t.co/ykJd6Wnarq https://t.co/M4JBJC2Sd9

Looks like Zen's army of fake accounts is trying to talk sense to me about this post. Cute.

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

Anti-vax, chemophobic opportunistic grifter, Zen Honeycutt, expressed an interest in going to Washington to work for RFK Jr's HHS. But what job could Zen do with her diploma in fine arts? @zaruk suggests, among others, the post of Chief Intuition Officer. https://t.co/ykJd6WmCBS https://t.co/nLLvxkYjkT

"A year ago, I would have published this on April 1st. That world seems so far away today." My latest @the_firebreak

THE FIREBREAK @the_firebreak

Manufacturing chaos is the main strategy in Washington. This has created an opportunity for the health zealots, gurus and grifters to come in and destroy any scientific food and drug policies. The absurd becomes actual as we enter a new Dark Age. @zaruk https://t.co/ykJd6WmCBS

Never underestimate the power of satire. You may not get the zealots to be reasonable, but you have a chance to get those being pulled into the cults to think twice. https://t.co/x3h8BgOy6O
