If big corporations or lobbyists or foreign organisations give money to politicians twitter is outraged; if charities push political agendas and are substantially funded by those – plus by catering to an officialdom whose agenda they form a reliable claque for… crickets.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Example of the day?
The Center for Countering Digital Hate (a one-man band run by Imran Ahmed) is OUTRAGED that writers like Alex Berenson, Robert Malone and Steve Kirsch are accepting donations on SubStack to fund their work. Because “misinformation”.
That Center for Countering Digital Hate exists by feeding “research” to The Guardian for articles like this:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jan/27/anti-vaxxers-making-at-least-25m-a-year-from-publishing-on-substack
Meanwhile, CCDH’s website
https://www.counterhate.com/
is plastered with big red DONATE buttons, inviting donations $25 to $250 (the bigger the better).
Need we even mention the funding The Guardian (etc) get from the Gates Foundation (etc)?
To paraphrase Captain Louis Renault:-
Writer who offended Twitter: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that donating is going on in here!
[an NGO financer hands Renault a pile of money]
Financer: Your donations, sir.
Captain Renault: Oh, thank you very much.
Some might say that’s being unkind to Captain Renault, who did in the end, after all, show that he had a moral compass (of sorts).

Round up the usual suspects (as well)
Oh, yes. I think you should. We already know the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ( for the destruction of civilisation ) has bought off the MHRA in the UK, they also ( along with others ) fund the ‘fact checkers’, etc. Every little piece of the puzzle helps.
What with ANTIFA, BLM, Insulate Britian, etc. It’s as if we’re working through an ‘action replay’ of the US banker financed Russian revolution. Substitute B & M Gates foundation for JP Morgan, and Presto!
Is that the same guy who made his living promoting (scamming the British tax payer) disinformation about Syrian resistance to the US & UK inspired insurgency?
All we’d need to ‘top it off’, would be something like the 1918 influenza pandemic.
Exhibit A: Oxfam.
Yes Guy Herbert – and even the most extreme cases.
For example, the owner of Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg) spent over a half a BILLION Dollars on the voting process and the counting of votes – in key places in the United States Presidential Election of 2020.
He has got nothing but PRAISE from the mainstream media – for his “charitable” action. Censorship and manipulation via Facebook was not enough – he had to spend vast sums of money on key areas of voting and vote counting. And no one in the “mainstream” sees anything wrong with this “charitable” activity.
“US banker financed Russian Revolution” – where did that story come from?
The main American banker families of the time were the Morgans and the Rockefellers – the Morgans were conservative, and back in 1917 the founding Rockefeller (John D. Rockefeller) was still very much in control of his bank (he had not yet handed over control to his son).
So which American banking family is supposed to have “financed the Russian Revolution” and for what reason?
The Russian monarchy fell apart in early 1917 – mostly because Nicholas II had made a great show of personally taking command at the front (some two years before), there had been a string of defeats (which he took the blame for) and the Russian domestic government was in chaos (largely because no one was in Petersburg actually controlling it – at least no one fit to control the Russian government).
The 2nd Revolution of 1917 (the Marxist coup) was pushed by Imperial Germany – not by American bankers.
Indeed Imperial Germany also pushed the first Revolution of 1917 – just less obviously.
Charities by hijacked by leftists is nothing new – for example John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford would have been horrified by what the Rockefeller Foundation and he Ford Foundation have done.
But with modern charities – the ones funded by people such as George Soros, Bill Gates and-so-on the far left activity seems to be in line with what the founders of the charities want.
For example, destroying the enforcement of law in American cities – so that stores can be looted and people murdered.
Why the “Woke” billionaires (such as Bill Gates) should want to spend vast sums of money on pushing such ideas as “mathematics is RACIST”, is another question. But the most certainly know what their despicable “charities” are doing.
