A new report by Oxfam, “Climate Finance Unchecked,” has determined that the World Bank has $41 billion in unaccounted funds that were destined to fight climate change.
This figure represents 40% of all disbursed climate funds by the World Bank. Oxfam’s audit revealed that between 2017 and 2023, between $24 billion and $41 billion simply went unaccounted for and there is absolutely no record of where the money went. No one knows how the money was used as there is no paper trail revealing where the money went.
“The Bank is quick to brag about its climate finance billions —but these numbers are based on what it plans to spend, not on what it actually spends once a project gets rolling,” said Kate Donald, Head of Oxfam International’s Washington D.C. Office. “This is like asking your doctor to assess your diet only by looking at your grocery list, without ever checking what actually ends up in your fridge.”
The World Bank is a leader in climate finance, controlling 52% of the total flow from all multilateral banks combined. World Bank President Ajay Banga announced in December that the bank achieved 35% of its financing three years ahead of schedule. He then set a new target of 45% by 2025. The bank later said in September that it achieved 44% of climate financing to the tune of $42.6 billion. “We’re putting our ambition in overdrive,” Banga said.
The bank acknowledged that it was difficult to keep track of its 800 climate financing projects but offered no insight into the missing funds. “It is clear that no one — including the Bank — has any real idea of how many billions of dollars are going to which climate actions,” the Oxfam report said.
Yet, climate activists are demanding $5 trillion in ANNUAL financing for the Global South to pay toward climate debt. Where did the $41 billion go? That large of a sum simply cannot be lost in a mere paperwork or oversight error. The climate change agenda has become a slush fund for the elite who will continue to fund this agenda without taking any responsibility for where the funds go or if they’re actually altering the climate in any meaningful way.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may now Make America Healthy Again. One of his first measures will be removing “an industrial waste product” from America’s water supply that has been deliberately added since 1945.
On January 25, 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, began water fluoridation. By 1960, water fluoridation had reached 50 million households and doubled to 100 million by 1975. Why? The government began adding fluoride to the water based on a 1930s study that stated a small amount of NATURALLY OCCURRING fluoride could protect teeth from decay.
It is odd that the government does not force insurance companies to treat teeth as a medical expense. It is difficult to gauge if these measures have actually prevented tooth decay, as access to dental health is far greater now than it was when trials began in the 1930s and 1940s. Who is responsible for adding fluoride to the water? California, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, and South Dakota have state mandates requiring fluoridated water. Other states like Maine, Utah, and New Hampshire permit the public to vote. Water utilities companies are responsible for maintaining water fluoridation systems. The EPA has federal oversight over the process and set a maximum contaminant level for fluoride at 4.0 mg/L. The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 forbids the EPA from actually mandating fluoride or any additive substances to the water supply, but they do have oversight.
So what’s the problem? “On January 20, the Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water. Fluoride is an industrial waste associated with arthritis, bone fractures, bone cancer, IQ loss, neurodevelopmental disorders, and thyroid disease,” Kennedy posted on X. Kennedy believes that fluoride does not have a clear health benefit to the public, but it is responsible for causing an array of life-altering ailments.
On September 25, 2024, a federal court in California ruled against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in a case involving fluoride. The court said that current levels of fluoride violate the Toxic Substances Control Act. Judge Edward Chen declared that there is “substantial and scientifically credible evidence”that fluoride poses a serious health risk and emphasized concern over fluorides effect on the developing brains of infants.
“In all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States,” the judge wrote in his ruling.
The National Institutes of Health’s toxicology program produced a study that found a correlation between fluoride and lower IQ in children.
“The NTP monograph concluded that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children. The NTP review was designed to evaluate total fluoride exposure from all sources and was not designed to evaluate the health effects of fluoridated drinking water alone. It is important to note, however, that there were insufficient data to determine if the low fluoride level of 0.7 mg/L currently recommended for U.S. community water supplies has a negative effect on children’s IQ.”
The CDC, American Dental Association, American Pediatric Association, and every BIG health agency would like to ignore these serious health risks. These organizations showed their hand during COVID and are not to be trusted. How can we possibly turn a blind eye to the blatant health crisis facing America when we have clear evidence that government agencies are permitting Americans to be poisoned? Kennedy’s health crusade could possibly help America lose its title of the least healthy nation in the developed world.

Reports are circulating that Donald Trump has asked Bibi to wrap up the war before his inauguration. Trump has been a strong opponent of perpetual wars, and he knows that America is obligated to support Israel.
Hamas leaders issued a statement saying that Donald Trump is obligated to “work seriously to stop the war of genocide and aggression against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, stop the aggression against the brotherly Lebanese people, stop providing military support and political cover to the Zionist entity, and to recognize the legitimate rights of our people,” Hamas added.
Hamas also stated that it will never submit to Israel or accept occupation. The “new US administration must realize that our Palestinian people will continue to resist the hateful [Israeli] occupation and will not accept any path that detracts from their legitimate rights to freedom, independence, self-determination, and the establishment of their independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory, calling it a “fresh start for America” and “history’s greatest comeback.” Bibi ha visited Trump in Mar-a-Lago this past July and the two have a close relationship.
Despite his ties to Bibi, Trump is relentless in his America First policies. Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital during his first term. Some are concerned that he will allow Israel to annex areas of the West Bank, a compromise that Hamas would never agree to. We have numerous players in this war now as well who may turn to America’s other enemies if backed into a corner. I do believe Trump will do his best to keep US troops out of the Middle East, but he is acquiring a nation that is currently backing two endless wars. His next steps will be crucial in determining the trajectory of both Israel and Palestine.

COMMENT: Dear Marty,
While I know my singular unknown voice means little to you, I want to personally thank you for pushing to pair RFK Jr. with Trump.
As a physician, I know I speak for many… moms, dads, nurses, even physicians.
It’s my opinion that having RFK support Trump was one of the the single biggest, if not THE biggest, factor in thousands of people FULLY endorsing Trump.
Such a magnificently beautiful alliance.
Knowing you probably had a significant influence on them…. a BIG THANK YOU to you!!
PH and JH
REPLY: Thank you so much. I thought it made sense since both were anti-war, and RFK knew the corruption within the Deep State and how those who are supposed to be regulated hire the very people in government so they are protected. This is standard in all fields, from health to finance. I know some of the people behind the scenes in these political camps. I know where their passion lies. They will give this a real shot.

This is just a reminder of the March 2023 policy and intent presentation made by President Trump during his Agenda-47 series. This highlight is the specific actions he proposed to begin dismantling the Deep State. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:

Senator John Thune has been groomed by Mitch McConnell to be his replacement for decades. Thune’s ascension to the role of Senate Majority Leader is essentially a foregone conclusion.
Senator Thune will carry the full support of roughly 15-to-20 senate DeceptiCons (deceptive conservatives), and perhaps a dozen more squishy ones in the middle who want great committee positions. The important dynamic that comes into play now is Senate Committee Chairman “leverage” for Donald Trump’s nominees.
Earlier today on CNBC Senator John Thune discussed the upcoming secret ballot election for Senate Majority Leader. WATCH (prompted):
.
Essentially, this is Thune’s gentle first shot requesting President Trump “stay out of” the senate caucus decision. Likely, what matters most to President Trump is getting his nominees past the Republican majority confirmation process. Thune was in previous talks with President Trump several months ago, and again several weeks ago in Mar-a-Lago.
Senator Thune doesn’t want President Trump to put his finger on the scale. If matters of the Senate are left alone, Thune ascends – period. However, Thune isn’t stupid and would like Trump to support him. Essentially, Thune would welcome intervention so long as the intervention came with an endorsement.
Thune wants to be Senate Majority Leader. President Trump wants all of his ‘advise and consent’ nominees to glide through confirmation.
We should look for President Trump to endorse Thune; generally, that would indicate terms have been agreed and we can be optimistic. However, if we do not see an endorsement from President Trump, or if Trump endorses someone else, then we should watch out for full DeceptiCon opposition in the Senate from here on out.
A lot of the dynamic exists without any outside influence. The two positioned candidates are John Thune (SD) and John Cornyn (TX). Thune is heavily favored and likely has an easy inside track. The number of MAGA senators is around ten, not really enough to block any organized leadership challenge.
Our MAGA movement benefits from appointments gaining confirmation. President Trump well understands the negotiations and maneuvering that will be needed to get the right committee chairs and members in place.

The first selection by President Trump, highlighting his team to enter the White House, has been made. President Trump selects Susie Wiles to be his Chief of Staff in the White House. Mrs Wiles will be the first female White House Chief of Staff in history.
“Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again,” Trump said in a statement. “It is a well-deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.”

(Via AP) – Successful chiefs of staff serve as the president’s confidant, help execute a president’s agenda and balance competing political and policy priorities. They also tend to serve as a gatekeeper, helping determine whom the president spends his time with and whom he speaks to — an effort Trump chafed under inside the White House.
Wiles is a longtime Florida-based Republican strategist who ran Trump’s campaigns in the state in 2016 and 2020. Before that, she ran Rick Scott’s 2010 campaign for Florida governor and briefly served as the manager of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman’s 2012 presidential campaign. (link)
(Via Politico) – “A veteran of Florida politics, Wiles directed Trump’s campaign to victory in the state in 2016. She also helped lead Ron DeSantis’ 2018 campaign for Florida governor, before a falling out that prompted the Florida governor to successfully lobby the Trump team to fire her. Wiles was brought back shortly thereafter for the 2020 campaign in Florida.
Despite having little experience in the nation’s capital, Wiles will become the White House’s envoy to the sprawling executive branch agencies and to Congress. She has not worked in Washington in decades, since her time in Ronald Reagan’s Labor Department, in Reagan’s White House as a scheduler and on Capitol Hill for the late Rep. Jack Kemp (R-N.Y). (link)
Mrs Wiles was basically responsible for controlling the access to candidate Donald Trump in the 2024 campaign. Her time away from DC politics is potentially both a negative and a net positive. Heck, Ron DeSantis didn’t like her, but rumors are they made amends.
While I doubt Mrs Wiles understands the nature of the fourth branch of government, she will likely be a critical advisor to President Trump despite the fringe right elements of the MAGA movement predictably about to go bananas. Anyone wanting to work for President Trump will now go through the filter of Wiles.
Meh, I am waiting to hear who White House Counsel will be.
