Let's hop back to the Matt Damon wiki again:

In the media

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel had a running gag at the end of his ABC television show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he apologized for not being able to interview Damon at the end of each show. It culminated in a planned skit on September 12, 2006, when Damon stormed off after having his interview cut short.[96] Damon appeared in several of E! Entertainment's top ten Jimmy Kimmel Live! spoofs.[97][nb 7] On January 24, 2013, Damon took over his show and mentioned the long-standing feud and having been bumped from years of shows. It involved celebrities who were previously involved in the "feud", including Robin Williams, Ben Affleck, and Sarah Silverman.[100]

Main article: Jimmy Kimmel Live!

~~Kimmel usually ends his show with "My apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time." When Matt Damon did actually appear on the show to be interviewed, he walked in and sat down only to be told just a few seconds later by Kimmel, "Unfortunately, we are totally out of time," followed by "my apologies to Matt Damon." Damon appeared angry but both performers have since indicated that their faux-feud is a joke.[21]

In February 2008, Kimmel showed a mock music video with a panoply of stars called "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck",[22] as "revenge" after his then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman and Damon recorded a similar video titled, "I'm Fucking Matt Damon". Silverman's video originally aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and became an "instant YouTube sensation."[23] Kimmel's "revenge" video featured himself, Ben Affleck, and a large lineup of stars, particularly in scenes spoofing the 1985 "We Are the World" video: Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Dominic Monaghan, Benji Madden and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, Lance Bass, Macy Gray, Josh Groban, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Pete Wentz, Meat Loaf, Rebecca Romijn, Christina Applegate, Dom Joly, Mike Shinoda, Lauren Conrad, and Joan Jett, among others.

After this, Jimmy's sidekick, Guillermo, appeared in a spoof of The Bourne Ultimatum, which starred Damon. He was then chased down by Damon, who was cursing about Kimmel being behind all this. Guillermo also stopped Damon on the red carpet one time and before he could finish the interview he said, "Sorry, we are out of time." The most recent encounter was titled "The Handsome Men's Club" which featured Kimmel, along with the "Handsome Men", who were: Matthew McConaughey, Rob Lowe, Lenny Kravitz, Patrick Dempsey, Sting, Keith Urban, John Krasinski, Ethan Hawke, Josh Hartnett, Tony Romo, Ted Danson, Taye Diggs, Gilles Marini, and Ben Affleck, speaking about being handsome and all the jobs that come with it. At the end of the skit Kimmel has a door slammed in his face by none other than Matt Damon, stating that they had run out of time and then Damon continues with a sinister laugh. Jennifer Garner also makes a surprise appearance. As a tradition, celebrities voted off Dancing with the Stars appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, causing Kimmel to describe himself as "the three-headed dog the stars must pass on their way to No-Dancing Hell".

In October 2013, a new segment of the show, "Kids Table", showcased five- and six-year-olds discussing the U.S. government shutdown and U.S. debts. When one of the children suggested "killing all the people in China", as a way of resolving the U.S. debt, Kimmel responded that that was "an interesting idea" and soon jokingly asked a follow up: “Should we allow the Chinese to live?”.[24] The incident triggered discussions and protests on Internet, even from Mainland China. In an October 25 letter to a group called the 80-20 Initiative, which identifies itself as a pan-Asian-American political organization, ABC apologized for the segment, saying "We would never purposefully broadcast anything to upset the Chinese community, Asian community, anyone of Chinese descent or any community at large."[24][25]

More than 100 people took to the streets in San Francisco on October 28 to protest the show and demand "a more elaborate apology" and that Kimmel to be fired.[25] On that day's broadcast, Kimmel addressed the controversy personally, saying: "I thought it was obvious that I didn't agree with that statement, but apparently it wasn't … So I just wanted to say, I'm sorry, I apologize.”[26] Despite the apologies from ABC and Kimmel, protests continued. A White House petition was created to investigate this incident and reached the 100,000 signatures needed to require a response from the White House.[27] The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus denounced the incident and demanded a formal apology from ABC.[28]

Feed the Future Initiative

The Feed the Future Initiative (FTF) was launched in 2010 by the United States government and the Obama Administration to address global hunger and food insecurity. According to the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, it is "the U.S. government's global food security initiative."[1]

The Feed the Future Initiative began as an effort "to combat the global food price spikes of 2007 and 2008."[2] In 2009 President Barack Obama committed $3.5 billion over a 3-year period to a global initiative with the intent of combatting hunger and poverty; in May 2010 the United States Department of State launched the Feed the Future Initiative.[3] The Initiative was developed by the Department of State and is coordinated primarily by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).[3] The main objectives of the initiative are the advancement of global agricultural development, increased food production and food security, and improved nutrition particularly for vulnerable populations such as women and children.[3]


Focus countries and partnerships

The Feed the Future Initiative currently has 19 focus countries[9] across three regions; three countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, twelve countries in Africa,[10] and four countries in Asia:[9]

  • Africa: Ethiopia,[11] Ghana,[12] Kenya,[13] Liberia,[14] Malawi,[15] Mali,[16] Mozambique,[17] Rwanda,[18] Senegal,[19] Tanzania,[20] Uganda,[21] Zambia.[22][23]
  • Asia: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Tajikistan.
  • Latin America and the Caribbean: Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras.

Feed the Future countries are chosen based on five criteria established by the U.S. State Department:[7]

  • "Prevalence of chronic hunger and poverty in rural communities;
  • Potential for rapid and sustainable agricultural-led growth;
  • Opportunities for regional synergies through trade and other mechanisms;
  • Host government commitment, leadership, governance, and political will;
  • Resource availability and commitments by host country."[7]

The 'Global Agriculture and Food Security Program' (GAFSP) multilateral funding mechanism associated with the initiative is "housed at the World Bank."[10]

Partner companies include Monsanto [24] and PepsiCo.[25][26]

There's also been rumblings recently. about Biden and China...


What am I looking at here? Well, I'm not exactly sure to be honest, but, I smell money-laundering and political agenda in favor of Obama/Biden et al. I can't remember exactly how I landed on the Feed The Future initiative, unfortunately I must have closed the prior tab(s) without making proper note. If I find it again, I will update this comment asap.
