Monthly Archives: January 2023

RED.

Posted by M - on

January is such a meh month, don’t you think? It’s just…there. February has Imbolc, Valemtime’s Day, and Mardi Gras to keep us partying as we March toward Spring; but in spite of one US holiday that everyone celebrates and one that no one pays attention to anymore, January is rather dull. In January, we are in LIMBO.

n. The state of being disregarded or forgotten

However, leading up to the Aquarian New Moon yesterday (Which had me pacing like a caged Panther – New Moons drive me little crazy.), there was a fair bit of excitement last week: Over 2,600 Narcissistic Sociopaths and assorted Daemons (Cue YGL Alum and WEF Board Member, Yo-Yo Ma) convened in Switzerland to participate in Davos 2023 which was hosted by the Schwab-led World Economic Forum (WEF). All the Usual Suspects were there: KMM (Khazarian-controlled mainstream media), Medical-Industrial complex, Pharma, big Tech, titans of banking and commerce, higher learning, and world governments (including the FBI), ad nauseam.

The US was HEAVILY represented and these raised my eyebrows: AARP, Estee Lauder, Instacart, Manpower, PG&E, and Habitat for Humanity. In a curiously-timed act, Amazon decided to phase-out its AmazonSmile charitable arm after ten years in operation. I’m sure it has NOTHING to do with the company’s unspoken pledge to divert $$ to their KM brethren instead.

I received the following email message on Jan 18, 2023:

In 2013, we launched AmazonSmile to make it easier for customers to support their favorite charities. However, after almost a decade, the program has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped. With so many eligible organizations—more than 1 million globally—our ability to have an impact was often spread too thin.

We are writing to let you know that we plan to wind down AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023. We will continue to pursue and invest in other areas where we’ve seen we can make meaningful change—from building affordable housing to providing access to computer science education for students in underserved communities to using our logistics infrastructure and technology to assist broad communities impacted by natural disasters.

To help charities that have been a part of the AmazonSmile program with this transition, we will be providing them with a one-time donation equivalent to three months of what they earned in 2022 through the program [aka Payoff], and they will also be able to accrue additional donations until the program officially closes in February. Once AmazonSmile closes, charities will still be able to seek support from Amazon customers by creating their own wish lists.

As a company, we will continue supporting a wide range of other programs that help thousands of charities and communities across the U.S. For instance:

Housing Equity Fund: We’re investing $2 billion to build and preserve affordable housing in our hometown communities. In just two years, we’ve provided funding to create more than 14,000 affordable homes—and we expect to build at least 6,000 more in the coming months. These units will host more than 18,000 moderate- to low-income families, many of them with children. In one year alone, our investments have been able to increase the affordable housing stock in communities like Bellevue, Washington and Arlington, Virginia by at least 20%.

Amazon Future Engineer: We’ve funded computer science curriculum for more than 600,000 students across over 5,000 schools—all in underserved communities. We have plans to reach an additional 1 million students this year. We’ve also provided immediate assistance to 55,000 students in our hometown communities by giving them warm clothes for the winter, food, and school supplies.

Community Delivery Program: We’ve partnered with food banks in 35 U.S. cities to deliver more than 23 million meals, using our logistics infrastructure to help families in need access healthy food – and we plan to deliver 12 million more meals this year alone. In addition to our delivery services, we’ve also donated 30 million meals in communities across the country.

Amazon Disaster Relief: We’re using our logistics capabilities, inventory, and cloud technology to provide fast aid to communities affected by natural disasters. For example, we’ve created a Disaster Relief Hub in Atlanta with more than 1 million relief items ready for deployment, our Disaster Relief team has responded to more than 95 natural disasters, and we’ve donated more than 20 million relief products to nonprofits assisting communities on the ground.

Community Giving: We support hundreds of local nonprofits doing meaningful work in cities where our employees and their families live. For example, each year we donate hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations working to build stronger communities, from youth sport leagues, to local community colleges, to shelters for families experiencing homelessness.

They closed this contemptible message with the typical bit of PR-driven drivel:

We’ll continue working to make a difference in many ways, and our long-term commitment to our communities remains the same—we’re determined to do every day better for our customers, our employees, and the world at large.

My AmazonSmile charity is a small rescue based in Southern California: Milo’s Sanctuary. Some of their residents have come to them as far away as Egypt and many are special needs cats. At Milo’s Sanctuary these felines are a part of their Lifetime Care Program: “Many of our long-term residents have ongoing physical or medical needs that prevent them from finding a forever home. When we rescue a cat, we promise them a lifetime of love and care.” Being a part of AmazonSmile these last ten years has allowed me to personally donate (literally) HUNDREDS of dollars to Milo’s Sanctuary.

As of January 21, 2023:

This is no chump change for small charities.
I have pledged to donate each month to one favored charity.
Milo’s Sanctuary has been added to my list.

In other more humdrum news, last Wednesday the TITAN25 took flight from the US and apparently landed in Germany…

All in all, a rather mundane month full of rather common instances of EVIL.
