Currently this post is I see about 18,000 words. Outrageous length. However, I am currently homeless (again) and not sure what I may do to section it off in the near future. Will consider it, but don’t count on it soon!!//LGH/Nov. 28, 2022)

Overall, the sequence of information intersects both at UNESCO and Rutgers and in that post, through the question — why that fiscal agent (Edward Charles Foundation) to process contributions, and why, as it turns out, that registered agent, too? I posted the figures on WPDI. This post, in the bottom section, shows tax returns of Edward Charles Foundation.

WRITTEN EARLY JULY, 2016:
reviews the “Agenda 21” and that lawsuit against its application to the San Francisco nine-county Bay Area (Northern California), and gets into the actual Edward Charles Foundation (“ECF”) and at Freedom Advocates tax returns, and uncovers a different name used by the latter for the IRS filing than at the State level, as well as that Freedom Advocates only filed in 2006 and 2008, that I can see. ECF is how I found out about the Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative, Inc. (“WPDI”) in part looking for ECJ’s contributions to “Peace Foundation” business entity, not found; meanwhile, the original incarnation (name) for the Whitaker Institute showed a website “peacearth.org” (no longer valid), while a Form 990-N, which has a blank for “website” in 2012 showed “none.”
Odd, for an organization talking about the media campaigns it is running overseas and as part of original articles of incorporation statement of intended activities, to not have a website up and running.

CONNECTIONS to UNESCO
and 17 World-Transforming “SDGs”
(And short side-trips to The Port Authority of NY/NJ, and an award to a Duluth, MN organization from the “World Future Council” — based in London, Geneva, Hamburg,(Germany) and Beijing …. (etc.))
doubling the size of this post, belongs here because without it, I doubt readers would understand why I seem so intent on the situation represented by ECF and Freedom Advocates, which by comparison aren’t that large, and are in fact very recent in origin.
NOTE: There is a section on “World Future Council” and under it, “Nuclear Peace Age Foundation.” As informative and/or entertaining as that segment is, I may move it to a separate place post-publication. Before such removal, we are looking here at 18,282 words..
After seeing similar disconcerting FISCAL behavior by several inter-related organizations, mostly with a UNESCO connection, I think this subterranean fact should be exposed when it comes to the “Sustainable Development” /Healthy Communities / Conflict Resolution / Violence Prevention and particularly “PEACE and DEVELOPMENT” rhetoric coming at us from all angles, these days.
Again, what’s “peaceful” or “just” about setting up alternate forms of government via nonprofits, and then those nonprofits not even behaving properly under (See last post!) basic business laws of the USA?
I discovered pretty quickly in using the NY/NY Port Authority as an example, that (a) the coordinated tax-exempt foundations (the big ones) and (b) UNESCO “name it and claim it” policy is moving in on the US, one case involving the recently bankrupt (?) and devastated City of Detroit.
THAT post, when published probably under this title, can be accessed through the underlying link regardless of its title: Politics, Governors, Attorney-Generals and The Port Authority of NY/NJ (The Downside of Public/Private Partnerships) – SeeAlso “NextCity,” and another UNESCO “Name It and Claim it” Project in Detroit (short-link ends “-4hX”)
This connects to the family court and domestic violence networks, as they themselves are working the UN goals already. Working those goals requires the participation of NGOs and the tax-exempt sector. Somehow what no one wants to have significant conversation about is what the tax-exempt sector is doing to the peace, justice, sustainability, gender equity, children’s rights, etc. goals (along with climate change) that seem to be the justification for world-transformation at the global (NOT politically-represented by local elected officials WITHIN each country) level.
CONNECTIONS to UNESCO
and 17 World-Transforming “SDGs”
(And short side-trips to The Port Authority of NY/NJ, and an award to a Duluth, MN organization from the “World Future Council” — based in London, Geneva, Hamburg,(Germany) and Beijing …. Push either one just a little further, and you’ll find UNESCO involvement and the basic big tax-exempt foundations from the USA… “How nice…”)
IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING WHY TWO SMALLER OR THREE RECENT, AND SMALLISH 501©3s are WORTH THIS ATTENTION, IN ADDITION TO THE UNESCO SPOKESPERSON/ACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH AT LEAST TWO OF THEM (PLUS OTHERS MAYBE NOT SO NOT-FOR-PROFIT):
“Agenda 21” appears to be another name for certain UN “Sustainable-Development” type goals. What these look like now — 17 goals for “Transforming the world” put in a chart (interesting, 17 is a prime number):
In the larger picture, we are looking about how US residents and citizens are regarded in the global world transformation and development planning process… this is about taxation and tax-exempt entities as a means to cloud accountability, accelerate the transformation — and discourage LOCAL, informed debate or consent on the transformation itself. Along the lines of overcoming national sovereignty by simply out-flanking it, or out-sourcing its activities.
From the perspective of those running this theatre– it’s also about profit.
“DEVELOPMENT” is for trade, commerce, and profit. Claiming it’s not, and that the real motive is philanthropic — well, if so, then how come others haven’t brought up the problems with the nonprofits to this degree, or the warehousing of government income-producing assets, post-World War II?
(As evidenced in the system of financial statements (CAFRs) regulated by a US-Canada Government Finance Officers Association?). What’s philanthropic about government as a for-profit operation using the population as its line of credit, and lecturing them about debt, while hiding the revenue-producing assets in other parts of the CAFRs, and multiplying forms of inter-jurisdictional governments and JPAs for infrastructures where the citizens have no say — but which they must pay to utilize after also being saddled with the debt to finance…). Separate topics, but for reference, a well-known one, the Port Authority of NY/NJ formed in 1921, and among its more famous infrastructures were (the ones that collapsed on 9/11/2001 AND the replacement ones) is the World Trade Center.
http://www.panynj.gov/about/history-port-authority.html. NY and NJ in 1921 needed consent of Congress to form this interstate compact…
Not that I’m agreeing or disagreeing with the next Bloomberg summary but it provides a summary of what the Port District and this Authority encompasses:
April 29, 2015 “Think Bridgegate was Bad? The Port Authority is a Daily Disaster“: One of America’s most important infrastructure agencies is malfunctioning because of chronic political interference by Peter McCoy in Bloomberg.com.
The Port District, roughly the area within 25 miles of the Statue of Liberty, has a population of 18 million and a gross domestic product of more than $1 trillion, which would make it 15th biggest in the world if it were a separate country. It’s a gateway between the U.S. and the rest of the world. When the Port Authority was created in 1921, it was an exemplar of Progressive Era efficiency and freedom from corruption. Woodrow Wilson, who was governor of New Jersey from 1911 until his inauguration as president in 1913, helped lay the groundwork for it. Within a period of just four years the agency built the George Washington Bridge, then the world’s longest suspension bridge, and three other spans connecting New York and New Jersey. In 1937 it opened the first tube of the Lincoln Tunnel. The Port Authority was one of the few institutions capable of standing up to Robert Moses, the “Master Builder” who reigned over New York from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Gradually, things deteriorated. A turning point was the decision in the 1960s to build a “world trade center” in lower Manhattan. To many observers, that looked a lot more like economic development for New York City than a bi-state transportation or port project. New Jersey’s appointees on the Port Authority board didn’t want the agency to take on the project. To win their support, the New York-appointed commissioners agreed that the Port Authority would take over and operate a bankrupt commuter railroad whose tunnels ran under the Hudson River. It became the PATH. …
Then came the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, which killed 84 employees of the Port Authority, including its executive director. The Port Authority had completed a long-term lease of the World Trade Center weeks earlier. The first years after the tragedy were chaotic. Eventually the Port Authority was pulled back in to build and operate key parts of the new center. Because of design decisions made before it got reinvolved, the 1,776-foot-tall 1 World Trade Center (aka “the Freedom Tower”) is perhaps the world’s most expensive office building at $3.2 billion. A new transit hub designed by the superstar Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava costs about $4 billion. It has vast expanses of white marble, and a spiky centerpiece, called the Oculus, looks like a cathedral from the inside and a mutant stegosaurus from the outside.
Do you think governmental control and authority of this scope of assets “just might” affect politics, let alone business, some? Again, HOW many people died on 9/11 and how was the country further restructured after and because of it, blaming this (of course) on the planes — and nothing else — as the cause of collapse, and dismissing the concept of a planned demolition (clients — leasing office space — and those unfortunate enough to be doing business with them on that day — inside).
The equivalent would be like doing a building demo anywhere else, such as to some eyesore SRO hotel, perhaps, or other form of ‘slum clearance’ with the renters, and any of their visitors still inside — by setting charges in advance (because a wrecking ball would be advance notice, and too obvious) — only for the World Trade Towers, MUCH larger and more devastating.
Now here it is, all broken down and destroyed, and the above article (which is not talking about how the towers went down at all) again referencing the role of the Port Authority in rebuilding it and how this “incidentally” also killed one executive director OF that Port Authority….
And here’s the solicitation for contracting with the major infrastructure redevelopment:
