@tazgetroete auch eine gute Frage die erörtert werden sollte. Wie bringen wir die #ngo #ngos initiativen unter einen guten außerparlamentarischen Hut? Finden Gemeinsamkeiten und noch mehr stärke? Ein neuer guter Bundesverband der Bürgerinitiativen muss her. Nichts tun für den von Gerechtigkeit ist keine Option

Trump and the tools of the old world order

An example of this is The United States Agency for International Development (#USAID) which was presented as a humanitarian force for economic and social development worldwide. However, its origins and operations paint a different much darker path, of geopolitical manoeuvring and #neoliberal hegemony over the last 40 years.
