   This is a variation of the Elitist play of    
   + Wrap a fact in a false Narrative   
   + When people point out the false Narrative   
   + Point to the fact and call them 'deniers'.   
      
   In this case, some of that NGO money **was** going to humanitarian needs (i.e.   
   the fact) but, as you correctly point out, ~90% was not.  So we end USAID, we   
   defund the NGOs, and that <10% spent on humanitarian needs will be gone and   
   "people will die".   
      
   $20 says that an actual humanitarian charity will step in and do it.  But we'll   
   never hear about that.

   Ya, funny how all these Woke causes are dieing now that the gov't funding has   
   been shut off.
