NGO

But as power abhors a vacuum, the influence — and enormous funding — that organizations like HRW and Amnesty International amassed attracted people with more specific agendas, especially a crew of ideologically-driven post-colonialists who had modern Western societies in the cross-hairs more than the authoritarian patriarchal societies that an organization like HRW was first established to monitor. And their target of choice in this politically-driven agenda, was Israel. People began to wake up to the problem over the course of the first decade of the 21st century, especially Israelis and and anyone who supported Israel, who began to see, especially in the wake of the demopathic Durban travesty, that the NGOs, with HRW in the lead, were involved in a campaign of assault on Israel that had no precedent among respectable organizations, and violated every principle of HRW’s self-proclaimed mission of defending human rights. ... This isn’t a conspiracy, it’s a concerted effort to make a dent on people who prefer to ignore anything that comes from the mirror other than, “you’re the fairest of them all.” That HRW would consider this a conspiracy is particularly interesting then for two reasons (at least). 1) When they feel they’re being ganged up on it, they cry “no fair,” like a playground bully taken by surprise with a punch to the nose. And 2) they immediately assume it’s unjustified and part of a cabal of secret and nefarious forces. I’ve written extensively about conspiracy theories, how dangerous they are to the social fabric, and how widely they’ve spread on the “left” since 9-11. This ready resort to conspiracy suggests precisely the presence of this kind of self-indulgent thinking. Augean Stables

The the term 'NGO' makes me want to spit. These entities really have gotten a pass over the last hundred years or so. The UN made them nearly ubiquitous. They are a way to produce influence and spread money and people around in places where military and other government influence would not be accepted. That is, they are a way for another government, usually a super power, to step in and control a much smaller government, usually one without oil natural resources.

NGOs are a way to meddle in another countries affairs without it being official. NGOs are like cookies on your machine. Most of the time they are a good thing that saves you the trouble of typing in you name and password between every click. They also allow companies to track your movements and even purchases online. They get this information for free more or less. Sometimes you have to click "Agree" to an incomprehensible EULA. Sometimes that is not the case.
