"Impossible Dreams"

How many of us envisioned a better world when we were children?

We saw the hurt.
We saw the pain.
We saw the greed.
We saw the cause and effect.

And we saw a different way....

One of peace
Collaboration
Synergy
Vibrancy
Exploration
Expansion
Healing
Regeneration

Time and again we got told this dream is too high or too far or too "impossible".

Let's prove them all wrong. ✨✨🌻🌻

PS. Exchange "God" with whatever term best matches your experience.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth:

“Border security is national security. Guys and gals of my generation have spent decades in foreign countries guarding other people's borders. It's about time we secure our own border”

Will we have “operational control at the border” after four years?

BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN: "We're not waiting four years.”

@SecDef: "Tom’s going to go find them internally. We're going to prevent them from coming in the first place.“

"Mr. Teele was an active, compassionate humanitarian who was loved and will be missed by many throughout the world. Mr. Teele was born in New Rochelle, NY, and grew up in Needham, MA, attending high school at Buckingham, Brown and Nichols in Cambridge, MA. He received a B.A. in political science from Amherst College, Amherst, MA, and an M.A. in economics from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Medford, MA. Mr. Teele completed his course work for a Ph.D. (abd) in economics from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. Mr. Teele, a longtime DC resident, began his career as a foreign service officer, working as a political officer in Greece and as an analyst in the USAID executive secretariat"

The more that I look into what this guy was doing, where he was doing it - this is regime-change money...

Chemonic s is on that list 3 times

Anybody know anything about this guy? CIA?

The fact that he “began his career as a foreign service officer” tells us a whole lot.

Exactly.
Apparently he even said he always wanted to have his own C.I.A. 🤯

They have to tell us.

Is it Chemonics or Demonics?

Just asking.

Let’s talk about Chemonics for a second.


**In addition to their work in Haiti, Chemonics has received hundreds of millions of dollars for activities in Afghanistan, including a $153 million contract in 2003 to improve the agricultural sector.  In 2005, the GAO found that Chemonics had failed to “address a key program objective”, and that “consequently, during its first 15 months, the project’s progress in strengthening Afghanistan`s market chain was limited.**

**Over the next few weeks, the CIDC is planning an extensive outreach to lawmakers and administration officials to make the argument that development is a crucial element of national security and economic prosperity. The member companies have so far committed about $300,000 to the effort and are also using their in house legislative staffs and communications staffs to help.
In another recognition of the need to be more public and do more outreach, the CIDC has hired the Podesta group to aid its public relations and media outreach effort**

**[The Podesta Group, incidentally, was founded by Tony Podesta and his brother, former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, who also headed President Obama’s transition team.]
In Haiti, firms belonging to CIDC have received over 70 percent of all contracts from USAID, the vast majority of which have gone to Chemonics. With the entrenched interests of large development companies, which are often staffed heavily with former USAID officials, it will take more than just rhetoric from USAID to significantly alter the way aid is administered.**
