Are the Forgivable Loans you cite as federal funding in your article the same thing as the Paycheck Protection Plan forgivable loans that any American business (that maintained certain levels of employees during the Covid lockdowns and movement restrictions) was eligible for? Or are these forgivable loans something else that was specifically offered to favored non-profits/NGOs?

Excellent work. The more you dig, the dirtier the truth for these leftist thugs.

As usual, spot on!

Wonder if Open the Books could cross-relate the forgivable "SBA" loans with forgiven loans. It would be interesting to see how many of these multi-million $ forgivable loans have been turned into multi-million $ government subsidies.

How about everyone just wake up and stop using social media completely. We don’t need it!!!!! It amplifies poor character traits. Please drop off social media.

Following the example of AIPAC, which indirectly receives taxpayer money laundered through Israel, which receives several billion dollars of aid per year from the US government. Why is this a surprise to anyone?

How about we stop funding any NGO? Let private entities and religious groups go about helping others when needed - they would have all the money they needed if our taxes weren’t so high and we could contribute to them. I can do a heck of a lot more with a dollar than the government can.

Given today's environment, there's no such thing as an "NGO."

This kind of reporting is irresponsible and misleading. The PPP that funded the SBA loans mentioned are for all small businesses without funding any specific purpose other than salary continuation. Meanwhile these organizations might be receiving funding from other "dark" sources but that statement in the article is not supported by any facts. This article makes a very flimsy case for a letter that is significant in it's message but poor investigation and reporting don't improve the situation but only demonstrate more poor reporting.

You might to better to ask how these organizations become essential to the US economy which was the purpose of the loans/grants. As their donors contribute less as a part of the pandemic what was the impact to their employees? Did they really need the loans/grants to continue necessary operations? I might postulate they could go on hiatus and few would notice. They all seem more dedicated to lobbying than aid.

The Union of Concerned Scientists has quite low admin expenses and could have survived quite well without any additional help by cutting back on programs for a period.

Significant because it's promoting censorship? Censorship is preferred by people that can't back up their opinions with facts and debate.
