The mind-boggling magnitude of Britain’s ‘wasted’ foreign aid spending was laid bare in extraordinary detail in a dossier published by the Daily Mail yesterday.

“Almost £14 billion of UK taxpayer cash will be funnelled across the world this year, with China, Palestine and Afghanistan among the beneficiaries of our millions in handouts.  Funds will even be directed to countries wealthier than three quarters of boroughs within the UK, MailOnline’s DEEP DIVE unit can reveal,” the outlet said.

The following are some highlights from the Mail Online’s report.  You can read the full report HERE.

Armed with the Mail Online’s dossier of waste, experts and MPs across the political spectrum have demanded ministers immediately reassess how foreign aid funding is spent. Ministers are under pressure to create a UK equivalent of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) to gut unnecessary expenditure.

Lee Anderson, Reform MP, told MailOnline: “Every year, billions of taxpayers’ money is wasted by being sent to governments around the globe.  The UK is not a charity. Labour continues to prioritise other countries over its own citizens.”

During 2023/24, the most recent financial year full expenditure figures are available for, the Government spent £15.3 billion on foreign aid.  Receipts for 2024/25 won’t be totted up until this autumn, although Labour only allocated £13.3 billion towards aid. The pot will rise to £13.7 billion in 2025/26.

Close to £4.3 billion was spent on so-called “in donor refugee costs” in 2023 – a nine-fold rise since before covid, reflecting the soaring toll of immigration, including illegal small boat crossings.  Up to £8.2 million per day goes towards accommodation for asylum seekers, with the rest of the pot divided towards education, health and other social needs.

British taxpayers will sink £11.6 billion between 2021 and 2026 into aiding developing nations prone to weather-induced disasters to improve their infrastructure.

Labour has also committed to handing nearly £2 billion to the International Development Association, an arm of the World Bank.  Another £310m will be handed to the World Health Organisation between 2024 and 2028.

Under Labour’s proposed budget for 2024/25, Britain will hand out £3.16 billion to regional programmes.  Five of the top 10 national recipients are in Africa, led by Ethiopia, which has been mired in a civil war since 2018.  As part of the budget increases, an extra £113 million of humanitarian support will be sent to civil war-stricken Sudan.

An additional £15 million is being given to the Occupied Palestinian Territories.  Downing Street insists it will not directly fund Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip and is designated as a terrorist organisation. Instead, the cash is directed through third-party relief workers like the Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (“UNRWA”) and WHO.

Syria was also granted an additional £50 million following the collapse of Assad’s regime.

Funding for Pakistan, which was the biggest recipient in 2019 at £305 million, has been drastically cut to just £98.8 million.

Individual projects counted within the regional programmes have sparked outrage, including one that saw taxpayers spend a staggering £99m on encouraging families in Africa and Asia to cook using electricity.  Most of the cash is going to Loughborough University to carry out research into clean cooking, with 650 reports expected by 2030. The academics have written “eCookbooks” to show families how to make traditional dishes using electric appliances, as well as a “multi-dimensional framework to assess and monitor gender equality, equity and women’s empowerment.”

The UK government is also paying for 20,000 electric pressure cookers to be handed out in Tanzania and Uganda, while a handful of air fryers have been given away in other countries.

Having scoured through thousands of currently active funding programmes, MailOnline can reveal several other questionable sites of huge government spending abroad (see more details in the Daily Mail’s report).

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Development Assistance Committee decides which countries get handouts based on their GDP.  The UK’s foreign aid is going to 30 countries, such as China and oil-rich Guyana, that are richer than 75% of the local authorities in the UK. 

In total, these 30 countries received at least £1.8 billion between 2009 and 2023 – yet the true toll could be much higher because the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (“FCDO”) only tracks bilateral official development assistance (“ODA,” foreign aid) spend, with any cash filtered through other agencies that may fund individual nations not tracked.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.

The money is going to the banks.
Which banks? The top of the line of order, Rothschilds, and the top of the line of chaos, the Vatican:
“The Council for Inclusive Capitalism is a movement of the world’s business and public sector leaders who are working to build a more inclusive, sustainable, and trusted economic system that addresses the needs of our people and the planet.”
https://juli2a5i4.substack.com/p/the-dangerous-alliance-of-rothschild

The Vatican roots are found in Babylon, but it wasn’t known as Babylon at the time. The 2 cultures which, presumably, began the ‘Covenant’ are the Samara and Samarra cultures of the forest-steppe and Iraq, hence the prevalence of proto-indo-european.
Here is a Samarran bowl so people can see what they are:

Ever wonder where the “chainsaw” symbolism comes from?
Here’s the Sumerian version. Note the 2 “mountains”. A mountain is a pile of dirt, i.e. they are Banks:

Musk and Milie used the ‘saw’ symbols.

It’s a very old business practice.

The zio-globalist/NATO-GLADIO Swiss banking authority system of singular, centralised autocracy and control (& Octogon international criminal syndicate): the B.I.S. (Bank of International Settlement) being the (visible) “head of the snake” OF this onerous “head of the snake”- it is not politicians nor military dictators who run this world & EVERY nation IN it, it is the BANKERS who run this world & determine the fate & machinations of nations. In all truth, there ARE NO remaining independent, autonomous, self-governing, sovereign nations LEFT anymore, only corporate vassal states, labouring under the tyranny of Admiralty Law (merchant/maritime/ corporate law, the U.C.C., or Universal Code of Contracts- the “law of the seas”). ALL imaginings that we enjoy the protections of a “constitution”, of “magna carta”, or “common law” rights & civil liberties are a fraudulent subterfuge, & conscious obfuscation OF these banking classes. It has likely ALWAYS been “the way of the world”, unfortunately? Babylonian Rhadanites?. Phoenicians? Sabbatian Frankist Donme khazarians? Templarite military orders and the secret society network? The black venetian/guelph “nobility” papal bloodlines- those Lombardi, Borghesi, Medici, Orsini (aka- Bauer, aka- Rothschild….) types? WHO and WHERE might we “pin the tail on the donkey”? A shadowy, furtive, skulking cabal containing an ignoble admixture of ALL of the above? I believe so. Certainly, ALL of the above have a greater or lesser “piece o’ the pie” at some level of “upper management”, although I have neither wit nor discernment enough to begin to make classifications of the notional hierarchy of “rank”, (although, “push come to shove”- I imagine that the “smart money” would bet on either the “black nobility” or the “khazarian mafia”?). They NOW (since the abject surrender of all personnel responsibility & the witless collusion of the greater part of the world’s population’s timid imbecilty) since 2020, have ALL their “ducks in a row”, & by 2030, this world will have entered the full spectrum dominance/biodigitally convergent WIBAN-5G(6,7G) “smart” global tyranny from which we will NEVER be able to extricate ourselves, and I predict that there won’t be a great many left of us to try? For a considerably more erudite & explicit revelatory exposition concerning the above noted presumptions and presentiments, I gleaned much of value from the likes of Frances Leader on Substack, Juxtaposition1 on Substack, and CIA Scapegoat Charlie Manson Mendacities channel on bitchute, and from Sabrina Wallace’s Psynergy channel on rumble. I note with horror the recent development of the E.U. awarding itself the “right” to raid the private bank accounts & savings of its citizenry, under the pretext of “defence”, concerning the all out/”hot” war with Russia and it’s allies that the E.U., NATO/U.N..& western nations are so desperate to initiate, on account of “muh boogeyman” Putin. What a shitshow.
