Clay’s Call to Action: Donate to ‘Raise the Black’ to Benefit Fallen ICTF Soldiers

I would like to take a moment to direct your attention over to a cause that is near and dear to my heart. It’s called “Raise the Black.”

Raise the Black was set up to raise money for the fallen soldiers of the ICTF/ISOF, Iraqi Counter Terrorism Force/Iraqi Special Operation Forces. Why would you want to help a foreign military cause? Because we owe these men a great debt, and our government is too busy expanding welfare and investigating Al Franken’s perversions to step up.

I fought with the ICTF back in the Global War On Terror, and they are hard as nails. Without them, there wouldn’t be a nation of Iraq. Not only did they battle Al-Qaeda and the Shia militias into submission back in the early war, they pretty much single handedly stop ISIS from taking over the country. They paid a heavy price for that, but they did carry the day.

In any sane world, we would have airlifted these men and their families out of Iraq as soon as we decided we were done. Instead of 25,000 extremely sketchy Syrian “refugees,” we should have taken 1,000 vetted heroes that had already shown their commitment to the cause. But as usual, government policy is to abandon our allies as soon as they stop being convenient. We did the same thing to the Montagnards after Vietnam.

Anyway, the cause supported by Raise the Black is funds for the fallen members of ICTF. A correction to the video portion of today, the ICTF does have a martyrs fund. But it is tiny. It is not enough. If a man falls in combat over there, his widow and children are largely on their own.

I reference Raise the Black as a charity in the video. For clarity, Raise the Black is a project that works under the charity The World is My Country Foundation.

Raise the Black is listed as a for profit company that gives away a lot of money to support U.S. Special Forces partners throughout the world. I am comfortable sending my money to these men, I know the founders personally. Plus, I am guessing they set up Raise the Black this way because it is easier to run a for profit company than a 501.C3.  Fewer hoops to jump through.

Also, think about this next time you give money to a “nonprofit” organization. A nonprofit is allowed to have paid positions like a CEO. And just like any other CEO, the sky’s the limit as to what they can be make each year.
