Multiple changes are bearing down on our state which many refer to as a leftist agenda or Woke campaign. But it is really the<a href=\"https:\/\/sdg.data.gov\/reporting-status\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> SDGs<\/a> being forced into the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be interesting to take a look at how one by one these goals are happening in the state, and where. So, how is SDG <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/poverty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#1<\/a>, Ending Poverty, being implemented?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Idahoan has seen their wealth sucked away by taxes for decades, there is nothing left that doesn&#8217;t get taxed. Those dollars are used against us in many ways, but one way is by building <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">programs<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicaid.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shift<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicaid.gov\/state-overviews\/stateprofile.html?state=Idaho\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">money<\/a> to those who are within the federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/p\/poverty.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poverty<\/a> level (FPL) <a href=\"https:\/\/aspe.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/1c92a9207f3ed5915ca020d58fe77696\/detailed-guidelines-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guidelines<\/a>. The U.S. Agency for International Development (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/about-us\/mission-vision-values\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USAID<\/a>) is one piggy bank for the rest of the poverty stricken <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.usaid.gov\/the-end-of-extreme-poverty\/#page-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">world<\/a>, even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaid.gov\/news-information\/speeches\/mar-07-2023-deputy-administrator-coleman-delivers-national-statement-during-un-conference-least-developed-countries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admitting<\/a> it is &#8220;committed to the full implementation of the 2030 <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabledevelopment.un.org\/content\/documents\/21252030%20Agenda%20for%20Sustainable%20Development%20web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agenda<\/a> for Sustainable Development&#8221;. Billions of taxpayer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignassistance.gov\/cd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dollars<\/a> have been given to other countries by this agency. God only knows how that money is really used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, as of 2022, there were 20 Idaho <a href=\"https:\/\/stacker.com\/idaho\/cities-idaho-most-living-poverty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cities<\/a> that identified the most people living in poverty. Standing by to help alleviate this poverty are the multitude of non-governmental organizations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.idahononprofits.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NGO<\/a>), or non-profits, taking your money and giving to those who they decide are in need. These <a href=\"https:\/\/greatnonprofits.org\/city\/boise\/ID\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">groups<\/a> can be found anywhere in Idaho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also Community Action Agencies (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Community_Action_Agencies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAA<\/a>), also called Community Action Programs (CAP), that are <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/find-a-cap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">members<\/a> of the National Community Action Partnership (<a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCAP<\/a>) association. These programs provide resources that are funded by the Community Services Block Grant (<a href=\"https:\/\/nascsp.org\/csbg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CSBG<\/a>) that are federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acf.hhs.gov\/ocs\/programs\/community-services-block-grant-csbg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grants<\/a> dished out by the Idaho Department of Health &amp; Welfare (<a href=\"https:\/\/nascsp.org\/state-contacts\/idaho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IDHW<\/a>) to NCAP members, rather it is money taken from taxpayers and given to others to lift them out of poverty. These programs are spread throughout <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/State-Associations-Oct-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Idaho<\/a> and the United States. <a href=\"https:\/\/nascsp.org\/about\/national-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCAP<\/a> partners with the National Association For State Community Services Programs (<a href=\"https:\/\/nascsp.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NASCSP<\/a>) which in turn partners with multiple federal <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agencies<\/a>, and the Idaho Department of Health &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CSBG-State-Offices-March22-22.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Welfare<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very complex system of agencies. The important issue to remember is that it is a system that redistributes wealth to the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Idaho, these NCAP agencies eliminate poverty through various programs in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cap4action.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Northern<\/a>, South <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sccap-id.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Central<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/seicaa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Southeastern<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eicap.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eastern<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wicap.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Western<\/a> Idaho, Ada, Elmore, and Owyhee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eladacap.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">counties<\/a>, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/capai.org\/our-members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sprinkling<\/a> of others, and are well served by the corporate <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/partnership-endorsed-vendors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">world<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This whole conglomerate originated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Economic-Opportunity-Act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1964<\/a> Economic Opportunity <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Economic_Opportunity_Act_of_1964\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Act<\/a>. So, for 59 years Idahoans have been slowly drained of their money to support just this one system. Why then are there homeless on the streets when this group practically provides all the support needed for living which includes housing, weatherization, food, energy, senior assistance, and Head Start? On top of this, state money, that is more tax dollars, are doled out for <a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.idaho.gov\/sessioninfo\/2023\/legislation\/H0201\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medicaid<\/a>, food stamps, housing assistance, child care, public health, foster care&#8230;heck, this list keeps going on, and growing. Money from Idahoans has been drained for years by both the federal and state government in order to end poverty, but it really looks more like government dependency programs rather than helping someone get out of poverty, and which really seems to keep them in poverty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is really meeting SDG Target <a href=\"https:\/\/datatopics.worldbank.org\/sdgatlas\/targets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1.3<\/a>, to &#8220;Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more group in this mess is the Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho. There is a short <a href=\"https:\/\/capai.org\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a> on its website that explains how this system goes even deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NCAP is nothing more than another <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Community-Action-101_F.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bloated<\/a> federal program that redistributes money from tax payers to others in social protection programs. The South <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/nonprofits\/display_audit\/10855120211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Central<\/a>, Western <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/nonprofits\/display_audit\/10876420211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Idaho<\/a>, and Eastern <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/nonprofits\/display_audit\/10856920211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Idaho<\/a> CAP programs obtain, and spend, millions of dollars each year. According to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indexmundi.com\/facts\/united-states\/quick-facts\/idaho\/percent-of-people-of-all-ages-in-poverty#map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chart<\/a>, the Idaho poverty rate sits at 11.8%. These numbers are approximate, but it seems that any average housewife would be able to take millions of dollars and meet the needs of <a href=\"https:\/\/talkpoverty.org\/state-year-report\/idaho-2020-report\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">195,984+<\/a> Idahoans to help them get out of poverty, rather than subsidizing their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2012, the Cato <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cato.org\/sites\/cato.org\/files\/pubs\/pdf\/PA694.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute<\/a> reported nearly one trillion dollars are spent annually to fight poverty in the United States, the biggest chunk of that going to Medicaid, and poverty keeps rising. According to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/finance\/welfare-statistics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a>, &#8220;In 2022, $1.3 trillion is projected to be spent on welfare programs in the United States.&#8221; Under Presidents Bush and <a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/the-press-office\/2015\/09\/27\/fact-sheet-us-global-development-policy-and-agenda-2030\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Obama<\/a>, both fans of SDGs, &#8220;federal welfare spending increased significantly&#8221;. Currently, multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/welfare\/report\/understanding-the-hidden-11-trillion-welfare-system-and-how-reform-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">programs<\/a> exist to lift people out of poverty. Now, &#8220;The new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/welfare\/report\/understanding-the-hidden-11-trillion-welfare-system-and-how-reform-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">goal<\/a> is simply to &#8220;spread the wealth&#8221; for its own sake.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through its <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">partners<\/a>, NCAP has ties to the World Economic Forum (WEF). NCAP partners include the US Department of Health and Human <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/organizations\/us-department-of-health-and-human-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Services<\/a>; US Department of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/sites\/documents\/HOUSING_GRANT_DESCRIPTIONS.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Housing<\/a> and Urban <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/people\/shaun-donovan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Development<\/a>; US Department of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/events\/the-davos-agenda-2022\/sessions\/a-conversation-with-janet-l-yellen-secretary-of-the-treasury-of-the-united-states-of-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Treasury<\/a>; US Department of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/organizations\/us-department-of-energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Energy<\/a>; and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/organizations\/aarp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AARP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NCAP certainly believes in <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/equity-summit-21\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">equity<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Equity-Summity-Program-Book_Final-updated-small.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">racism<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/webinar\/community-action-101-webinar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">justice<\/a>, and other SDG <a href=\"https:\/\/communityactionpartnership.com\/energy-equity-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">goals<\/a>, sharing those messages to all of its members. It isn&#8217;t a woke or left wing agenda, it is the SDG agenda. Meanwhile, Idahoans are left with just managing their life as the hope and ability to enrich their life is being stolen from them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Census Bureau determined in 2020 that &#8220;Social Security continued to be the most important anti-poverty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/content\/dam\/Census\/library\/publications\/2020\/demo\/p60-272.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">program<\/a>, moving 26.5 million individuals out of poverty.&#8221; Ok&#8230;., so taking money from those who work, then giving it back to them when they stop working, and to others, alleviates poverty. Good justification for a universal basic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2021\/08\/why-data-needs-to-underpin-the-basic-income-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">income<\/a>, &#8220;social security for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2017\/01\/why-we-should-all-have-a-basic-income\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all<\/a>&#8220;, just put everyone on social security, everyone gets the same monthly amount. Isn&#8217;t that kind of like, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordnik.com\/words\/socialism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">socialism<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it isn&#8217;t really about ending poverty, maybe it is really about redistribution of wealth, and leveling the playing field so every human has their basic needs met equally. The WEF <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2017\/01\/davos-leaders-agree-we-should-share-more-of-the-worlds-wealth-or-face-the-populist-consequences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agrees<\/a>, it is just a matter of deciding how that redistribution should happen. Historically, efforts to eliminate poverty in the U.S. have been going on for decades but since Agenda <a href=\"http:\/\/www.un-documents.net\/a21-03.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">21<\/a>, Americans have been dragged more into the global poverty war. With the more aggressive redistribution of U.S. wealth to other countries beginning in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrotrends.net\/countries\/WLD\/world\/poverty-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1990s<\/a>, following the <a href=\"https:\/\/clintonwhitehouse3.archives.gov\/PCSD\/Overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insertion<\/a> of Agenda 21 into the government, there has been a reduction of global poverty, until the Covid-19 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/topic\/poverty\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">event<\/a> occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the psychotic WEF world, it suggests giving everyone a bank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2022\/09\/financial-inclusion-findex-radio-davos-world-bank-economist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">account<\/a> to lift people out of poverty. Maybe Idaho should try that. The United Nations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/development\/desa\/socialperspectiveondevelopment\/issues\/poverty-eradication.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perspective<\/a> to eradicate poverty is developing an integrated strategy that &#8220;necessitates implementing policies geared to more equitable distribution of wealth and income and social protection coverage.&#8221; Looks like Idaho is an active participant in that strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What was once a capitalist society that brought prosperity to Idahoans has now become a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2017\/11\/the-pursuit-of-happiness-how-the-american-dream-turned-into-greed-and-inequality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">target<\/a> for ending the American dream, having boosted wealth but &#8220;failed at redistributing it&#8221;. Gone are the days when a family could use their money to strengthen their own lives, but rather, that &#8220;wealth&#8221; is now being redistributed to others, not just in the U.S., but across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is how SDG #1 is ending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2016\/07\/the-world-is-aiming-to-halve-extreme-poverty-by-2030-but-what-does-that-actually-mean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poverty<\/a>, every Idahoan is now enslaved to it, and this is just one program that addresses poverty and its associated issues. Both governments are sticking it to Idahoans so all can live equally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Idahoans are familiar with the existence of the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) but may have not studied them in any depth.
