I am convinced. Please join those of us who seek to unravel the Federal funding of NGO’s that bill for maintenance & care of unaccompanied minors that have arrived since January, 2021. If the Feds are paying large bills to NGOs, they should be able to produce pristine records of the current location for each child. Pressure should be brought on the NGOs to - without resistance - quickly either give up all names & locations…or say they don’t know. If the latter, their revenue stream & status with the Federal Government should end immediately.
It is unfathomable to even contemplate that even Church-linked NGOs would claim “privileged” status from their Principal - the US Government. At a minimum, an IG audit should sample a test group during the first 100 days following the Inauguration.
Imagine when the letter agencies of which there are thousands,all federally funded ( paid for by we,the people) are eliminated in the first six months of 2025, and in turn, the NGO’s they support, die and dry up on the vine, to turn to dust as quick as a blink!
The investigation by Ángel Pineda, Secretary-General of the Public Ministry of Guatemala, is linking NGOs, various departments and top officials of the US to a huge child trafficking operation.
It may be too early to shout “scandal”, but I have seen these things break once a critical point is reached in America. If POTUS had 50 investigators and 100 analysts obtain the names and addresses of 1,000 unaccompanied minors (not selected by the fraudsters) and they ran each child to their address, confirmed that the funding was fully received by their caregiver, etc., the findings should approach 100%. The release of the findings after 100 days, if a low percentage, would grab headlines and excuses. It would attach to our current POTUS & VP, and the guy who kept assuring American taxpayers how everything is secure. Thank for your the information from Guatemala and its efforts, which was News to me.
Phil, I have shared this with as many people as I can.
We can't continue as a humane, moral, ethical culture when we not only turn a blind eye, but actually fund this. Not to mention what is breaking out on my X feed regarding the aborted babies who are cut up alive to get their live organs. I knew about this from James O'Keefe's exposure of it, however, this is reaching a scream level on X, so I pray it goes mainstream.
We must stand up and shake the normies to their core.
This was a charming and familiar (I believe Elizabeth and I are kindred spirits) romp. Thank you, sir, for pulling the corner of the curtain back just a bit. Elizabeth, in her writing and intense research, has given me hope. Thank you, both.
I love unique and interesting people. I surround myself with them. Thank you, James, for this binoculars-worthy look into the life of someone with whom I wish I had a friendship. I am truly jealous of her intellect and drive. You are the velvet-lined box in which the gem Elizabeth can rest. God bless you both!
You are quite a writer yourself; your short but very eloquent comment was poetry to my ears. I also love unique and interesting people and yes I wish I had a friendship with Elizabeth as well. Such a keen intellect and wondrous writing. This article was amazing!
This account reminds me of a scene in the film "Amadeus", in which Mozart's wife brings his music to Salieri in the hope of him promoting Mozart so they might get some income. Salieri is astounded at the quality of the music, and stunned to realize that what she has brought are original works, not copies. In reading this Substack I feel like Salieri to Elizabeth Nickson's Mozart.
That was a fun read. Great writing, Sir! Married to a high drive attorney, there were lots of knowing chuckles by me. Humor being essential at all times.
Thank you, James Craig, for that well-written, fascinating portrait of the life of a talented, driven, fevered writer.
And thanks also to evolving circumstances that have given us the Substack genre and podcasts, thus freeing us from the prisons of publishers’ and broadcasters’ limited choices. The world has exploded with ideas heretofore gate-kept by a handful.
What an exciting time to be alive. For each of us, this is our unique, precious, given space in time within eternity, so we must make the very best use of it. Clearly, Elizabeth has snagged the dropped ball and is heading towards the goalposts. Deo gratias.
I am utterly charmed to meet the elusive Jamie and to further meet the brilliant Elizabeth through his eyes. What a wonderful essay! Half way through-I must leave and prepare my mother's meal... so I wanted to comment now as too often life interrupts irrevocably and I never return. Thank you Jamie, and thank you Elizabeth for sharing yourselves with the world and with me! ~ Ginger Breggin
I’ve often wondered about your day to day. And this is basically what I had envisioned. But hearing it - cements the kinship I’ve had to you, your writings and your true Genius. The vibrance of your editor coloring in your persona is a brilliant idea and expertly done.
Thank you for keeping me ahead of the curve of knowledge. Thank you for making the last 2+ Years understandable. Thank you for leading the charge.
Brilliant, funny, original.
Elizabeth Nickson is a writer of rare and true genius.
i can't imagine higher praise than that. well deserved.

I hope that the reluctant media will be reporting on this by the end of April.
Our government calls Pineda the corrupt one. https://www.state.gov/united-states-announces-actions-against-seven-central-american-officials-for-undermining-democracy-and-obstructing-investigations-into-acts-of-corruption/
No surprise. Blinken is a criminal.
Yes. They revoked his US visa and the visa of the Guatemalan Attorney General under whom Pineda serves.
My minds Ablaze. But I will look up that !

Horrific... like Gaza

Brain stem death?
Makes yu wonder what exactly is death ?
Oh. My. This was such a good read. Expresses perfectly how I felt that first time reading Absurdistan and pretty much every time since. Thank you!
Very interesting and amusing! Happy Nearly New Year to you both! Make 2025 the year the BLOB gets boiled.
"Boiled Blob"!
A truly wondrous dream.
But don't stand downwind!
Boiling kidneys maybe?
Worse!
Biker friend boiled a beef kidney for his dog. Worst thing ever.

Everything I try to say falls short, please continue doing what you do, it is so important. And God bless you! ✝️🙏
Your talent for observation, and setting it to words, has at last emerged from that closet or wherever you store it, Jamie. Awesome read. Poetic.
❤️❤️❤️

On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me, three iPads, two Kindle fires, and a laptop full of great stuff.

'Bout what I figured. Support her if you can. Not sure they make them like this anymore.
Such a wonderful tribute to Elizabeth that will be enjoyed by everyone who reads it!
