Surprise! Stonewall LGBTQ Pressure Group Is Funded by the State Department and USAID

Fake and gay, fake and gay, fake and gay...

Note that this is the UK organization Stonewall. I'm sure a lot of American gay pressure groups are being funded by US taxpayers, too, but this one is a foreign organization.

Which I'll bet pressures US social media companies to censor speech. Funded by the people being censored.

Stonewall could be forced to cut up to half of its staff after President Trump's decision to freeze foreign aid, The Times understands.

So we're funding at least half of it, eh?

Workers at the LGBTQ+ charity were told on Thursday that restructuring would take place, and that only roles with dedicated funding would be safe.
Simon Blake, the chief executive of Stonewall, made the announcement in an office-wide Teams call, which was said to have left its 114 staff "shellshocked".
Sources said they believed up to half of the workforce could be made redundant in the move, which they were told would "secure the future of Stonewall for the long term as a significant LGBTQ+ organisation able to deliver impactful campaigns and legislative change across the UK and further afield".
Insiders believed the announcement was linked to decisions made by Trump over the provision of foreign aid. Blake has previously warned of the impact Trump's move would have on Stonewall's operations.
Funding from the US came to Stonewall through the Global Equality Fund (GEF), administered by the US state department, which has given the charity more than half a million pounds in the past three years. The GEF focuses on "advancing LGBTI rights around the world" and is a pooled fund with contributions from numerous countries and private businesses, but it has not published accounts since 2015.
In recent years the GEF has been Stonewall's largest funder. Charity accounts show the GEF increased its funding for Stonewall year on year, handing over £137,254 in 2021-22, rising to £204,442 in 2022-23 and reaching £233,583 in the most recent set of accounts.

For years police had routinely harassed the transvestite patrons of the Stonewall Inn; but that June (1969) the 'drag queens' fought back, violently. The Stonewall riot sparked the gay liberation movement."

101 An interesting aspect of Merz. During the cold war (yes he is that old) he was a big supporter of America and having Americans on the ground in Germany.

Why? Because he was rightly afraid of the Soviets and why not have the Americans spending the money needed to defend his country instead of their own money?

Now though he wants an independent Germany. Why? Because he knows Vlad is no threat to Germany with or without the Americans and knows the American free ride for Germany is coming to an end.

People have talked about it. Mike Benz has been talking about USAid for years. The JFK assassination people drew all of these webs and connections many times over the years. Snowden's documents revealed hidden networks / NGO / business cut outs with the NSA.

But the media is not going to amplify this. They're as deeply involved in this shit as anyone.

Politicians and the political parties are in on the corruption.

And everyone involved is terrified to death of the CIA / Deep State and what happens if they try to go against them.

Most of the extras have declined in quantity and quality. The Cheese and Peanut butter pouches have been increased from 2 to 1.5 ounces. The kool-aid drinks used to be awesome, now they won’t even dissolve in water. The Cocoa used to be pretty decent, now they have foo-foo flavored coffee and cocoa drinks that are 90 percent non-dairy creamer. An entire case of 12 meals includes 2 vegetarian meals per, and needs to be ratfucked just to scare up a cup of joe of any size. Ciggies were deleted long ago.

There's nothing intrinsically left wing about men playing in womens sports. Shit, as recently as Obama's re-election in 2012, the D's platform said that marriage is between a man and a woman.

It feels like all of this stuff is a distraction or a sideshow.

Posted by: weft cut-loop

--------
From what I recall from the time (not sure how much this is known) the NYPD were pissed because they were not getting a big enough "gift" from the NY mob, so they would harass some of their protected businesses once in a while. They harassed the Stonewall because it was an easy target, but they were not after the gays at all, they were after the owners (mob) telling them to pay up.

So the gays did not like being sent outside to do a perp walk. There was no way they were going to be charged, just inconvenienced or at worst sent to a judge to have charges dismissed. They knew this and started throwing stuff at the cops, making it all about them.

So they were just people breaking laws (public indecency) and mildly harassed who turned themselves into heroes for throwing rocks at cops.

Even worse? US taxpayers yet to be born have funded all this. We have several future generations who are obligated to pay these debts. It's insult to injury on a historic scale.

Then, we all agreed we are supposed to be apolitical, and there were weird looks at each other. The officer corps is kinda split, politically, while the NCO ranks are much more MAGA.

417 207 233k pounds per year and they'll be getting rid of 1/2 their employees (57)? That comes to $5100 per employee a year. That doesn't make sense. Probably a lot more funding is being cut off. I'd guess $7.5mm a year to support 57 people.
Posted by: Chuck Martel

Yeah, that math doesn't make sense. Would be interesting to see all of what's driving the cuts (all tentacles of USAID, or donors in retreat of Trump's 'new world order'...?)... But nonetheless a good addition to the trash heap of woke USAID recipients...

USAID does provide some foodstuffs to starving people.

It's just, you know, not exclusively what USAID did.

I've seen the tactic of using the starving kid as defense of any other spending unconnected to the kid as the Kidnapped Puppy defense.

What are the questions asked? There is a big difference between:

1) Do you support DOGE identifying and cutting waste and abuse?

2) Do you support the data analysis and suggested budget cuts that DOGE is making?

3) Do you support Trump's people in DOGE looking at everyone's private information and cutting budgets without any approval from elected officials?

The first question is a pro version, the second a fairly objective question, and the latter an antiversion

I suspect you'd get wildly different answers to each of those questions even though they are getting at the same thing
