Executive Summary
This week on Mornings with Mel K, we walked through what may be the most under-reported pattern in American civic life — the conversion of compassion into a weapon against the people it claims to serve. We named the names. We followed the dollars. We traced the architecture. From the Cleveland headquarters of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative raided in a ballot harvesting investigation, to almost $100 million in homeless fraud already charged in Los Angeles, to the $30 million HHS handed CAIR after the Afghanistan withdrawal, to the $1.4 million raised by the family of an admitted murderer in Frisco, Texas — the pattern is the same. Money flows to NGOs. NGOs sit between We the People and the institutions we built. Accountability disappears into the gap. We connected the CIA's documented suppression of COVID-origin analysis, confirmed in testimony by whistleblower officer James Erdman, to Event 201 on October 18, 2019, where Avril Haines, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, and Johns Hopkins simulated almost verbatim what hit us a year later. We looked at the 146,000 migrant children the Trump administration has now located of the 400,000-plus unaccompanied minors who crossed under Mayorkas, the 17 denaturalization actions DOJ has filed against citizens accused of hiding serious crimes, and the operative who once perjured himself defending the Blind Sheikh now seeking American office. This is what suicidal empathy looks like in practice — a republic that has been programmed to defend the system that is eating it. Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.
What Is Suicidal Empathy?
We the People are watching something unprecedented in our lifetimes — a society's nervous system being hacked in real time. Suicidal empathy is the name we have given to the moment that hack succeeds. It is the moment our God-given instinct to protect the vulnerable is rerouted to subsidize the people preying on them. It is the moment we are told that questioning the program is itself the cruelty.
This is not abstract. Every story we covered this week is a case study in the same playbook.
The architecture is consistent. Public money flows to an NGO. The NGO sits between the citizen and the agency. Oversight is by another NGO funded by the same network. The original problem gets worse. The contractors get richer. The press calls anyone who notices a bigot. And when audits come, the books cannot account for where the money went.
Our Founders warned us about exactly this. Their answer was a constitutional republic — not a managed administrative state, not a network of foundations, not a global governance compact. The covenant they wrote begins with the words "We the People" for a reason. Legitimacy flows upward, from the governed. When it flows the other way, the republic is captured.
The Homeless Industrial Complex Is the Cleanest Case Study
If you want to see suicidal empathy at scale, look no further than the homeless industrial complex.
In Los Angeles, the Homeless Fraud and Corruption Task Force has now charged almost $100 million in fraud. One man, identified as Mr. Sufer in Fox News reporting, was contracted to house 300 homeless people. He instead bought a home in Westwood, a home in Greece, and vacationed at the Four Seasons. Agencies like LAHSA — the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority — were supposed to provide oversight. They cannot tell anyone where the money went.
Gavin Newsom spent billions of dollars supposedly to help the homeless community of California. The money disappeared into NGOs.
This is not unique to LA. The de Blasio administration's Thrive New York City program ran $800 million through the same architecture. John Stossel did an excellent report on it. The hearings produced no recovery and no prosecutions. The program served less than 3% of the homeless community and essentially none of the mentally ill.
Now layer in the voter fraud. An estimated 75,000 people are homeless on the streets of LA. Canvassers documented by Spencer Pratt and James O'Keefe have for years been registering them to vote — and paying them, in cash or in drugs, to cast ballots for chosen candidates. After California's Newsom recall vote, thousands of voters received post-election letters saying their signatures did not match. The same pattern emerged in Skid Row, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica.
The compassion was the cover. The fraud was the function.
The NGO Architecture Above the Agencies
The captured agencies do not run themselves. They sit inside a larger architecture that We the People did not vote for.
This week, federal investigators raided the Cleveland headquarters of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative as part of an investigation into ballot harvesting and voter fraud in a key swing state. The Collaborative calls itself pro-democracy. So does Norm Eisen and his lawfare colleagues at Brookings. So does the network around George Soros.
Let us be honest about that language. "Pro-democracy" has nothing to do with America. America is a constitutional republic. Pro-democracy is the brand name for protecting the apparatus built above our nation after World War II — the architecture that sits above any president, any agency, any vote.
The Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Carnegie Institute have been accused since the 1930s of using the NGO model to insert themselves between the people and the government. That accusation is not new and it is not partisan — it sits in congressional records going back nearly a century. The 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) machinery is the modern continuation of that project.
ActBlue raised $3.8 billion across recent election cycles. The head of ActBlue has acknowledged on the record that perhaps 1% of donations were foreign — which by their own math equals $38 million in conceded foreign donations. The legal and compliance team reportedly resigned after the 2024 election. Foreign oligarchs, the Chinese government, the Russian government, and the Iranian government all have material interest in who wins American elections, and the safeguards are gone.
This is the substrate suicidal empathy defends.
The CIA, COVID, and Event 201
The clearest single example of institutional suicidal empathy is the CIA's record on COVID.
CIA whistleblower officer James Erdman has testified before the Senate regarding the alleged suppression of COVID-origin analysis by the CIA in tandem with Anthony Fauci. Senator Rand Paul has now put the deficiencies in writing. The intelligence assessments relied on selective exclusion of intelligence that did not support analytical conclusions. Sources were mischaracterized to suppress alternative analysis. Source quality and reliability were omitted. Ethically flawed medical studies were cited without noting methodological critiques. The analytical line, in Paul's words, relied on the absence of evidence.
The CIA later assessed a research-related origin as more likely than natural origin — with low confidence in natural origin.
The funding lines that should have been investigated long before that conclusion are public. USAID, which functions as a funding tentacle of the CIA, financed the PREDICT consortium. PREDICT partners included UC Davis, EcoHealth Alliance, Metabiota, the Smithsonian, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. Metabiota appears repeatedly in the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop — the laptop that 51 intelligence agents conspired to dismiss before the 2020 election and have never been held accountable for. Many of those 51 are now sitting in think tank positions, drawing contractor pay from firms that profit from war and the reconstruction after it.
Then there is Event 201. On October 18, 2019, Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, and Johns Hopkins ran a simulation that almost verbatim predicted what hit us a year later. Avril Haines, CIA deputy director under Barack Obama, led the government side. Much of the media was in the room.
Avril Haines has not been indicted. She has been promoted to a senior position at the Carnegie Endowment. That is the system protecting its own.
The Border, the Lost Children, and the DOJ Response
Suicidal empathy has been national policy at the border for nearly four years.
Between 2020 and 2024, more than 400,000 unaccompanied minors crossed the southern border. The Trump administration has announced that it has located 146,000 of them so far. The architects of that policy — Alejandro Mayorkas at DHS, Samantha Power at USAID, Amy Pope at UN Migration, and Cass Sunstein writing legal scaffolding behind the scenes — produced those numbers by design, not by accident. The Cloward-Piven strategy of overwhelming a system to collapse it is no longer a theory; it is the operating manual.
The Department of Justice has now filed denaturalization actions against 17 naturalized citizens accused of hiding serious crimes — child sexual abuse, narcotics trafficking, large-scale financial fraud of taxpayer money — from 13 different countries including Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and Mexico. Citizenship is a privilege, not a default condition. The DOJ has stated that under President Trump it maintains a zero-tolerance policy for abuses of the process. This is just the beginning.
Meanwhile in New York City, the leadership of the mayoralty and the governor have announced that the city will not cooperate with ICE — and intend to allow plaintiffs to sue ICE for trying to find the missing children. They are calling it an ICE sanctuary city. The suicidal empathy programming has its own immune system.
CAIR, $30 Million, and a Candidate Who Perjured Himself for the Blind Sheikh
In the wake of the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan that cost 13 American service members their lives, the Department of Health and Human Services under the Biden autopen administration sent $30 million to the Council on American Islamic Relations.
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. has formally written to the governors of California and Washington asking where the money went. The documented connections between CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas are not deniable — they appear in U.S. court filings going back two decades.
In New York, a candidate named Hamwy is on the ballot for federal office. The record shows he previously lied under oath on behalf of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, during the trial that convicted him of conspiring to bomb the World Trade Center the first time. After his recent primary victory, he repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar." If elected, he will take the oath with his hand on the Quran — a text he has cited in court as taking obligations above the U.S. Constitution he would swear to defend.
Paul Sperry has been sounding the alarm for years about Sharia law being normalized in American institutions under the guise of religious freedom, including in critical legal theory programs at U.S. law schools. CAIR-aligned litigation arguing that the Constitution itself violates religious liberty is filed in courtrooms across the country. That is not religious freedom. That is parallel authority.
Recovery Is Already Underway
There is real recovery happening, and it deserves to be named.
The Homeless Fraud and Corruption Task Force in Los Angeles is producing indictments. The Cleveland raid is producing evidence. The DOJ denaturalization actions are documented and proceeding. Jay Clayton — respected on both sides of the aisle — has been brought into a key prosecutorial role. Rand Paul is forcing the CIA-COVID record into the open. The 146,000 missing children are being found.
The Trump record on historically Black colleges and universities — $2.55 billion over ten years through the Futures Act, $1.4 billion in CARES Act and COVID relief to minority-serving institutions, $322 million in hurricane and disaster relief, $100 million through Land Grant, and an additional $435 million redirected to HBCUs and tribal colleges — sits as a documented contradiction of the network's preferred narrative.
The receipts exist. The question is whether We the People will use them.
Sobriety from suicidal empathy looks like this. Request a public record from your local agency. Replace one captured media source with a primary document. Have one real conversation with a neighbor whose politics differ. Read Rand Paul's published CIA-COVID document yourself. Find one local race in 2026 where a thousand votes can move the outcome.
The covenant is not revoked. It has only been waiting for us to remember.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why hasn't Avril Haines been indicted for her role in Event 201 and the COVID-origin suppression?
Because the architecture protects its own. The CIA has never been held accountable since the murder of JFK. Avril Haines was promoted to the Carnegie Endowment — one of the original NGOs in the network. Rand Paul has been pushing for investigations. The deficiencies in the intelligence assessments are documented. What is missing is the political will and public pressure to force the question.
If $1 billion disappeared during Black Lives Matter, why has no one been criminally charged?
We have been asking that question for years. Accountability requires naming names and applying pressure. The grift class has built careers on the racial grievance model, and the institutions tasked with oversight have been captured by the same network. This is why pressure from We the People — public records requests, local reporting, refusing to fund the script — is the actual leverage.
Is the homeless fraud just an LA problem?
No. It is everywhere. NYC's Thrive New York City lost $800 million. The pattern repeats wherever NGOs sit between public dollars and the people the money is supposed to serve. The Homeless Fraud and Corruption Task Force in Los Angeles is a model other cities can adopt — but only if their voters demand it.
Isn't compassion a virtue? What makes empathy "suicidal"?
Compassion is a virtue. Suicidal empathy is the weaponization of that virtue by people who count on you not asking who benefits. Real compassion gets the money to the person who needs it. Suicidal empathy gets the money to the contractor who is robbing the person who needs it.
How do I tell a real charity from a captured NGO?
Follow the money. Read IRS Form 990. Look at who sits on the board. Look at how much of every dollar reaches the stated mission. If the organization spends more on lobbying and political mobilization than on direct service, you are looking at a political operation in a charity wrapper.
