Trump is Winning in His Battle Against the Green Blob
On Friday, the FT reported that one of the UK’s largest philanthropic grant makers, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) is withdrawing its support for US-based organisations. According to the pink pages, CIFF “no longer understands the US policy environment governing donations” and that it was “pausing donations until authorities clarified the applicable laws and rules related to the foreign funding of US NGOs”.
CIFF is the philanthropic vehicle of British billionaire hedge fund manage Christopher Hohn, whose firm, The Children’s Investment (TCI), has a history of reckless decisions and shareholder activism. Former Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak was once a partner of the hedge fund, and was reported by the Times to be one of a number of the firm’s executives to have made huge profits “after an audacious stock market bet that lit the touchpaper on the 2008 financial crisis”. Though while that bid saw Fred ‘the shred’ Goodwin lose his knighthood, Christopher Hohn subsequently gained his just a few years later for “services to philanthropy”.

Brilliant stuff! Thank you.
And why did Mr Johnson cave in on lockdowns during the common cold coronavirus panic?
Pressure from Washington and Paris to coordinate measures with them, backed by threats regarding Sterling, energy supply and closure of the channel ports.
Britain now requires a government that puts national sovereignty and security first:
Systemic Reform.
Including the Executive? Tricky one, that.
Gonna need someone with even bigger balls than Thatcher had. Got anyone in mind?
They will need to both smoke and drink, shoot and encourage hunting…..
On the subject of the Lying Oaf – the Worzel Gummidge lookalike with less brains – he has been doing the rounds to justify his stupidity in allowing the biggest surge in immigrants this country has ever seen and that is not over yet as we approach the point at which they can bring 3m or so of their relatives here. Yes, have a points based immigration like Australia but at least get an adult to read the full details to you which includes and ANNUAL CAP on the numbers. As having brought a halt to Hamas in Gaza – possibly – all eyes turn to Ukraine where the word on the front is ‘Kiev by Christmas’. Reports are coming out that a certain former Prime Minister trousered around a £1m from the defence industry just at the point he scuppered a possible ceasefire.
Chicken Kiev by Christmas, maybe….. ‘Due to the lack of a normal system of evacuating the wounded from the battlefield, there are only 1.3 wounded soldiers per one dead. This signals a low level of survival of the wounded, who are poorly trained in tactical medicine and are usually abandoned without help after injury’ The guy who scuppered any chance of a ceasefire was the one with the army that, in early April 2022, fired on Ukrainian civilians fleeing the town of Bucha. ‘Taras Schevchenko, 43, said Russian soldiers had refused to allow men to leave through a humanitarian corridor, instead shooting at them as they fled across an open field. Bodies, he said, were scattered on the pavements, with some of those killed having been “squashed by tanks … like animal skin rugs”. Shevchenko’s mother, Yevdokia, 77, said she had witnessed an elderly man who had challenged a Russian soldier being shot dead as his wife stood next to him. “They shot him dead, and ordered the woman to leave,” Reporters from Agence France-Presse saw at least 20 bodies, all in civilian clothing, strewn across a single street in the town of Bucha on Friday. One had his… Read more »
And of course there is absolutely no evidence of the Ukranian military engaging in foul deeds of this kind.

l have always wondered if he was threatened, when they admitted him to hospital with that bout of cold!
Prior to that he was ruled by his instincts to treat the whole Covid debacle just like any other seasonal cold or flu. After he left hospital he was changed, or did he maybe believe he nearly died?
I don’t say any of this to defend the Bastard in any way, had he followed the lead of a Country like Sweden, he might have been thought of very differently!
There are many, including I would guess most on here, that will never forgive him for what he did, along with Hannibal Hancock in that dreadful era, and subsequently his manic support for Net Zero insanity. Maybe that cold addled his brain!
I’ve always thought that the incidents of ‘higher ups’ – in most countries – suddenly being afflicted with the ‘killer virus’ and in his case, spending a short time in intensive care, was part of the scam game plan to incite fear amongst the general population that it ‘could happen to you, too’. Priming the people, through fear and / or ignorance, to comply with the tyrannical loss of freedom and controlling measures put in place.
In the absence of Farage giving the slightest mention of the association of the charitable industrial sector corrupting our democracy I’m not convinced he is singing from the same hymn sheet as Trump on this one. It is a certainty that he will be played like a fiddle by them unless he puts the activist billionaire cabal in their place.
The Trump administration is following the wise words of Deepthroat – follow the money. They are looking into who in the global fascist clan is funding the insurrections in the US to block the elected government doing what they were elected to do. Apart from the obvious culprit Soros, they are tracing the funding back to the likes of scum like Hohn and preparing to prosecute them.
President Trump held a meeting, a week or so ago in the Whitehouse, which was televised/on the Web, where he brought together a wide group of people effected by the anti ICE rioting, primarily caused by ANTIFA….and during the meeting the ANTIFA funding was talked about and displayed…..CIFF’s part was very clear…….Hohn is getting out of Dodge…but that is too late….he may well be in an awful lot of trouble……U don’t mess with Trump, even less with Homan
How interesting. I had never heard of CIFF. Interesting how it suggests links to China. After all, cui bono.. who benefits while we impoverish ourselves in the West with the green crap.
We do not live in a democracy when the wealthy can influence government policy. Laws must be written to prevent this.
Yes, and It is important to make the general public far more aware of this assault on democracy by the activist billionaire class. These people do not like public approbation. We cannot expect the MSM to do this as they are bought too like the establishment so we have to use social media and alternative news and views platforms such as this as well as talking about this to friends and acquaintances.
An illuminating article thank you. I had never understood the references to the Deep State until Trump came along and started to blow it apart. Well overdue. I worked for a UN agency 40 years ago and came away disenchanted, and much has changed since.
Thank you for this insightful article. After reading about mr. Hohn, I can only think, it is even more unbelievable that the Donald became the 47th President of the USA. With all that money splashing everywhere, I wonder if mr. Hohn might consider donating a few bob to every sports club in the UK. MEGA.
He probably would do as long as they met his diversity stipulations.
