For example, even the alternative media seems unwilling to point out that NGOs like Partners In Health are strongly supported by imperialist foundations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I would argue that questions need to be asked about what such funding relationships means for democracy in the real world?

The mainstream media love Wyclef Jean because he is a more obvious member of the imperial ‘aid’ circus. Indeed, he is one of a handful of musicians to be honored to serve on the advisory council of the ruling class Global Philanthropy Forum where he sits alongside Bill Gates dad, William H. Gates, Sr.
