The US has announced it is withdrawing from dozens of international bodies that no longer serve American interests, including major UN and non-UN forums focused on climate, migration, social policy, peace, and democracy.
President Donald Trump had signed a memorandum suspending support for a total of 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions “that operate contrary to US national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty,” the White House said on Thursday.
“These withdrawals end taxpayer support for entities that advance globalist agendas over US priorities or address key issues inefficiently,” the statement read, adding that many of them targeted “radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs conflicting with US sovereignty and economic strength.”
Affected organizations: UNFCCC, the UN’s main body for climate negotiations; UN Women, the body dealing with gender equality; and UNFPA, a major agency on population and demographics.
Non-UN bodies: the IPCC, a major authority on climate "science" ; the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA); and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailed Trump’s move, accusing the targeted bodies of “actively seeking to constrain American sovereignty.”
What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
