Growing up in America through the 1980s and 1990s there was a general sense of âlive and let liveâ among Gen X and Gen Y that truly defined the era and our notions of what a society should look like. We all knew gay people were a permanent fixture in society. For the most part nobody bothered them and they kept their gayness to themselves (and far away from children). Frankly, it was working just fine.
There were some protests and marches, but the only âindividual rightâ straight people had that they didnât was the right to legal marriage. Most people figured that once that changed there wouldnât be anything left to protest. What we didnât understand at the time was that the seemingly harmless rise of âGay Prideâ in the 90s and early 2000s would become a primer for the woke madness that spread like wildfire from 2014 onward.
As we now know, a lot of that insanity was rooted in programs funded through the US government. Itâs important to keep in mind, however, that the government is a tool, not the hand holding the tool. Elitist interests through NGOâs and think tanks like the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation were the real impetus for the creation of the woke movement. They spent decades building the revolving door dynamic that cycled taxpayer cash through agencies like USAID and into the pockets of NGOs.
In other words, itâs a mistake to think of the federal government as the mastermind. Rather, the government and the politicians within it are paid (or blackmailed) by wealthy globalists to support legislation that funds and empowers globalist projects.
The international spread of âqueer activismâ or âpride activismâ has been a goal of the elites since the days of the Kinsey Institute, which was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and became the source for the invasion of LGBT ideology into modern academia starting in 1947. The Rockefeller Foundation still brags to this day about funding the rise of the âsexual revolutionâ and the notion of ânon-binary sexualityâ.
The transgender movement is largely tied to the intellectually dishonest and disturbed studies of John Money conducted in the 1950-1960s. His experiments were bankrolled through the Johns Hopkins School, which was founded and largely funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.
Once these ideologies, posing as social science, infected the halls of higher academia, students were turned into adherents of the cult. They then spread like a plague into politics and federal bureaucracy. They would go on to grow the unaccountable bureaucratic system that now cycles taxpayer cash from federal agencies into the coffers of NGOs. The great scam was set in motion â Using American money to fund the demise of western civilization.
A large part of this agenda relies on the mafia-like enforcement of LGBT normalization in every facet of society, even in public schools where teachers now hang pride flags and expose children to gender fluid theories with no basis in scientific fact.
On the international front, a little known agency called âUSAIDâ was launched in 1961 for the purposes of providing material support to foreign populations in dire need (and to combat the threat of communism). However, from the 1990s onward the organization was increasingly involved in leftist propaganda with a specific interest in DEI. The apparatus that was built to stop communism was retooled to promote communism.
Fast forward to the 2020s and what we have today is a hostile takeover, a government and NGO funded color revolution that desires to annihilate western values, Christian morals and the general American regard for freedom of speech and freedom of thought. The woke movement is not just Cultural Marxism (thatâs part of it), itâs a massively well-funded ideological machine. A new religion, of sorts, that seeks to wipe out the fundamental principles that hold our society together.
For the western world the pendulum swings from left to right, but noticeably more and more to the left and less and less to the right over time. Some call this the âOverton Windowâ. In other words, conservative or traditionalist ideas and values that were acceptable 20 years ago are slowly and incrementally suffocated by artificial social and legal pressures until theyâre no longer present in the next generation.
The woke ideas and values the establishment WANTS the public to adopt are promoted widely, but this requires extensive monetary backing. Social engineering campaigns are expensive and take many years to achieve results.
With the revelations surrounding USAID (and at least a dozen other institutions), it appears that the agency was a key driver behind the rapid spread of DEI into every corner of our nation, not to mention many other nations. Their LGBT operations are particularly interesting and I would assert that it was USAID that specifically injected woke cultism into the public school system.
They were the organization that encouraged school officials and teachers to indoctrinate children with woke ethics and transgender politics, and they also actively encouraged teachers to hide these activities from parents.
One document that outlines the basic agenda is USAIDâs âIntegrating LGBTQI+ Considerations Into Education Programmingâ. The PDF was drafted and provided to field employees and workers in their Inclusive Development Hub and Center for Education. It explains how to inject DEI and LGBT propaganda into various public education institutions, using teachers and school officials as âadvocatesâ.
Researching back through some of USAIDâs activities from 2014 onward there was a clear spike in funding surrounding LGBT programs for teachers and administrators. Because of the recent shutdown and audits you have to use the Wayback Machine website to view a lot of this stuff, but itâs still there.
The document states:
âThe purpose of this document is to support USAIDâs staff working in the education sector to integrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI+1) considerations into programming and across the Program CycleâŚâ
USAIDâs mission statement uses the same justification as most DEI promoters: They claim that educational environments around the world are ânot safeâ for LGBT students and teachers. Their solution? To use overwhelming funding power to incentivize (bribe) governments and educational institutions to inject gay propaganda into the curriculum.
That is to say, they sought to evangelize education organizations with the woke belief system in the name of âsaving livesâ. USAID head Samantha Power directly links the wokification of culture to the âfight for democracyâ, creating a progressive crusade. Meaning, the elites frame LGBT indoctrination as an existential imperative to save the planet (skip to 24:40 in video).
It reminds me a bit of the movie âInvasion of the Body Snatchersâ; aliens slowly and strategically taking over the world by hijacking each person and absorbing them into the collective. You might think itâs paranoid exaggeration to claim that USAID wanted to turn everyone gay, but you would be wrong. Consider for a moment the prevailing argument in favor of gays in the 1990s:
âThey were born that way and they canât change it, just like a person canât change their ethnicity. So leave them aloneâŚâ
Whatâs the prevailing argument now? (The same argument presented within USAIDâs own documentation.)
âGender and sexuality are completely fluid and any person, including children ages 3-5, can change their preferences at any moment for any reason. Straight people only exist because they are forced to be that way through social constructsâŚâ
In other words, the gay movement now agrees with its old Christian adversaries â Gayness is a personal lifestyle choice, not a permanent condition you are born with. When the movement for gay rights morphed into the âPride Movementâ, the goal was no longer equal rights but the erasure of biological and objective reality.
As USAID notes:
âThe development and realization of oneâs sexual orientation and gender identity is a process, rather than a singular event. This implies that self-identification of sexual orientation and gender identity may change over time and may not be congruent, and young people may need varying levels of support, space, and attention during this processâŚâ
USAID has maintained a laser focus on schools, education and children. They admit that they targeted 120 school principles in Kosovo for âLBGT inclusion trainingâ. They âsensitizedâ educators in Honduras on LGBT inclusion. They developed university programs in Jamaica on LGBT discrimination, etc.
In the UK, a group called Stonewall is warning it might have to shut down after losing funding funneled through USAID. Stonewall is notorious for targeting children with trans propaganda in schools and funding pride propaganda across the UK and in other countries.
Not only did USAID (along with other agencies and NGOs) invade schools with LGBT cultism, polling indicates theyâve been rather successful. Various public surveys show that Gen Z, the most targeted generation, identifies as LGBT at a rate of 7% to 28% depending on which poll you look at. A generational increase from 2% to 28% is scientifically impossible. It can only be accomplished through social engineering.
Itâs not that these kids are actually gay. Itâs not that itâs now more acceptable to be open about it (polls were always anonymous anyway). Itâs not even that being gay is considered trendy for Gen Z. Rather, they have been brainwashed to believe that being straight is a form of social oppression.
They have been taught through USAID and NGO funded programming to accept gender relativism as socially conscious and morally superior. They will never be gender fluid or feel attraction to the same sex, but they want to be on the right side of history. So, they identify as LGBT to feel like they are good people. Identifying gay is not about sexual preference, itâs a virtue signal.
One can theorize about the deeper motives behind USAIDâs efforts â Thereâs the theory that the pride movement is designed to reduce population growth for the sake of reaching ânet zeroâ carbon goals (gays usually donât have children and trans kids are often sterilized by hormone therapy).
Then thereâs the theory that pride is a precursor to the normalization of child grooming and the legalization of pedophiles as a âmarginalized groupâ (the globalist Epstein Island crowd would love that). Itâs a big reason why a lot of gay people oppose the trans agenda â They donât want to be associated with the obvious groomer undertones of transgender activism.
And letâs not forget about the connection between LGBT indoctrination and progressive political organizations looking to create a permanent voting block. Leftist political parties use social pressure to trap âmarginalized groupsâ in voter plantations. Youâre not allowed to be gay and vote against the Democrats, for example. If you do, youâre considered a traitor and a heretic.
I think the evidence supports all of these to some degree. My personal theory is that âPrideâ and the woke movement in general are the precursors to a new secularist religion of self worship and the worship of government. A globalist theology in which the greatest virtue is to deny objective reality and embrace relativism in everything from biological sex to moral compass.
Was there EVER a real âPride Movementâ? Was it all just establishment financed astroturf from the very beginning? It sure looks that way.
As DOGE cuts continue to run their course and many of these agencies and NGOs are eventually defunded, I predict we will see a rapid decline in younger people identifying as LGBT. I also predict that most of the pride parade activity seen every June will fade and that trans activism will mostly vanish outside of a handful of crazies. The Pride movement was never grassroots. It was a fabrication; an illusion conjured into existence through the sheer power of government cash and NGO manipulation.
