Soros has the same input and control over America’s Government as Musk does?

You got to get out more “don,” a lot more

So what foreign relations need does paying Politico satisfy?

Politico's main business is providing intelligence services to businesses and governments. They provide data on energy, agriculture, and weather to companies like ExxonMobile, and the US Government. They have a side business that is a news service.

So USAID paid them $44k for data from around the world, and the entire government paid them $8.1 million. To collect that data directly would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars, at least, so that was a good deal.

Politico makes over $4 billion in revenue(far more than it would if it were just a news service), so the $44k was just 0.001% of their revenue. Even the entire spending of the US Government was just 0.2% of their revenue. This is not even a rounding error of a percent.

The source of the funds is known. It is Gate's holdings in Microsoft.

The rest of your rant is just as crazy.

Salty Walty makes shit up.

No, Politico did not make over $4 billion in revenue. According to the available information, Politico's revenue figures for recent years are significantly lower:

  • In 2023, Politico's peak revenue was reported as $7.2 million

While Politico does offer services through POLITICO Pro that might be described as "intelligence services for businesses and governments", this is not its "main" business. Its primary identity is still as a journalism platform with a significant portion of its operations dedicated to general news and analysis

Politico is primarily known for its journalism and news reporting on politics and policy. It operates as a media outlet.

POLITICO Pro offers premium, paid content to professionals, which includes business intelligence elements. However, Politico's overall revenue model also involves advertising, events, and sponsorships, which are more aligned with traditional media business practices.

USAID has paid $44,000 for subscriptions to Politico over the two years covering fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

So Politico is on the take from the Deep-State.


So is the ACLU, SPLC, Snopes and Politifact.


Does it surprise you that the Deep-State buys political outlets?

Don't forget the NYT as well. You would think the drones would be livid. They put their trust into these sources, constantly defending their lies only to find out the stories were bought and paid for by their heroes.

I'm not actually surprised, they've known about the bullshit stories for a long time now. They only care about the libtard dope ever since they became addicted. Most of the heaviest dope abuse can be tracked to their college years when their libtard professors gave them huge doses daily. That's how one becomes addicted, after that it's all about the next high. lol

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation primarily derives its funds from:

  1. Endowment: The foundation's endowment was initially built from donations by Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, and his then-wife Melinda Gates. A significant portion of these funds came from Bill Gates' personal wealth, which was largely accumulated from his Microsoft stock.
  2. Donations from Bill Gates: Bill Gates has pledged to give away most of his wealth to the foundation. Over the years, he has donated billions of dollars worth of Microsoft stock to the foundation.
  3. Donations from Warren Buffett: In 2006, Warren Buffett, one of the world's richest individuals, pledged to give away more than 99% of his wealth to philanthropy, with a significant portion going to the Gates Foundation. This has been one of the largest donations to the foundation, consisting of shares in his company, Berkshire Hathaway.
  4. Investment Income: The foundation manages its endowment like an investment fund, earning returns from investments in stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. These returns contribute to the foundation's operational funds.
  5. Other Donors: While the vast majority of the funding comes from Gates and Buffett, the foundation occasionally receives contributions from other donors for specific initiatives or in response to fundraising campaigns.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation does not typically receive direct federal grant monies for its general operations. However, there are nuances to consider:

  • Indirect Funding: While the foundation itself does not receive federal grants directly, its initiatives or partners might. For instance, the foundation often collaborates with public health initiatives that might receive federal funding independently or in conjunction with foundation grants.
  • Influence on Federal Funding: The foundation has been known to influence federal funding priorities, particularly in areas like global health. For example,the Gates Foundation's initiatives, such as the Grand Challenges for Global Health, have led to increased NIH funding in related areas, suggesting an indirect influence on how federal funds are allocated.
