White House Orders Pause of Federal Financial-Assistance Programs — The Wall Street Journal

Agencies scramble to understand the unexpected memo

Wow!

His orders do tend to kick up dust.

I don’t believe such orders are that unusual. But the specter of Executive review of the very programs might be a hint. A clue. Foreshadowing.

More to follow as this gets more widely disseminated.

Tip Top move with many likely positive benefits

Most foreign aid programs have been exploited to meddle in other countries’ affairs by funding anti-government and even in some cases anti-state movements that later orchestrate Color Revolutions.

Such was recently the case in Georgia, which fended off a nearly-two-year-long Western-backed but superficially “NGO”-driven campaign against the ruling party.

The end effect is that American influence might rebound in the Global South since a large part of why many of these countries started turning away from the US since the start of the century was due to it violating their sovereignty by funding “NGOs” that meddle in their affairs.

Excerpts from Zero Hedge Now

It is a time out to have a review of where the money goes, maybe even a real attempt to shine some light on these programs. Congress has the power authorized by the Constitution to levy taxes and appropriate and disperse money, but unfortunately corporate and state campaign funding and rogue government intimidation control Congress. It will not police itself and can't be reasonable expected to.

Hopefully it includes NGOs and student loans.

Let the Vatican and the college's endowments pick up the slack.

I bet both will scream bloody murder if their rice bowls are threatened.

You want to cut off student loans? When did the US Congress vote to make this change?

I believe the reference was to the unauthorized and unconstitutional Potato efforts to use tax dollars to repay the loans.

Didn't you argue that was unconstitutional? Courts appeared to.

It is unconstitutional.

Thus the opposition.

It is unconstitutional.

SO this is unconstitutional.

 

[BackAgain]

SO this is unconstitutional.

This being an indefinite pronoun.

What we are saying is unconstitutional is unilateral executive actions absent a firm foundation in the actual Constitutional powers of the Executive Branch or absent an act of Congress.

So, President Pedo Pete Potato violated the Constitution by trying to dictate the forgiveness of student debt.

Tuition Is Bribery to Get a Job

Listening to the self-appointed authorities causes brain-death. Imagine if superior athletes had to pay the professional teams to get to play. Or take out a loan to pay those who should be paying them (and do now). The reason athletes are treated in the way that produces the best use is that sports are an opiate of the masses.

Anyone Who Accepts Birth Privileges Hates His Own Father for Not Getting Rich

All this hypocritical resentment when there was none against born-rich students not having to take out student loans.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

It is unconstitutional.

Thus the opposition.

Large Inheritances Must Be Made unConstitutional

Notice how the Founding Fathers deceived us by the fake democracy of only making titles of nobility unConstitutional? What they really established was an American House of Lords.

They effectively also abolished the Coat of Arms. Spoiled sissy richkid traitors never have to fight, a birth privilege that is equivalent to murdering the Unfortunate Sons.
