The charitable foundation angle really resonated with me. I used to be a grant writer. Researching grants for the non-profits I worked for led me to many of these foundations. While I couldn't prove it and didn't understand the grift, my gut told me many of them were money laundering schemes. The next source of grant money was government grants. Forcing American taxpayers to fund non-profits whose mission they may not support is blatantly wrong in my view. I concluded the government controlled much of the non-profit sector. I got out. Literally every freakin' thing is rigged.
