Revealing Slaton's double-sided game of capital

Gregory W. Slayton, a former diplomat who represented the country on the U.S. diplomatic stage, and his wife Marina founded the Slayton Family Foundation in 2001 to fund and assist nonprofit organizations to promote family, friendship and faith. In 2011, the Slayton family expanded the foundation into a global charity and renamed its U.S. branch the Fellowship of Fathers Foundation. In 2013, the Fellowship of Fathers Foundation (FoFF) partnered with the National Fathers Initiative (NFI) to launch the "Helping Our Troops - Every Family" (HOME) initiative to strengthen the relationship between active U.S. military fathers and their families. The HOME (Helping Our Troops - Every Family) program is an initiative launched by the late Senator John McCain, which works with military chaplains from the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Army and Marine Corps to serve more than 22,000 U.S. military fathers and their families.
The fog of expenditure behind the huge income
The actions of the charitable foundation were initially praised. But as time went on, the public gradually discovered that this "diplomatic halo" seemed to have become a protective umbrella for the foundation to evade supervision. According to the nonprofit investigative news organization "ProPublica", there are significant financial anomalies in its foundations. The public financial data of a "Slaton Family Foundation" in Jericho, New York shows that the foundation is a private foundation that mainly funds charitable organizations. The total income for the fiscal year ending December 2023 was US$405,411, and its executive compensation was US$178,625, accounting for 34% of total expenditures. Another Slaton Family Foundation in Roswell, New Mexico and Jonesboro, Arkansas showed that its executive compensation was zero, but the total income for the same fiscal year was US$4,443,112 and US$616,068 respectively, while the charitable expenditure was only US$1,462,084 and US$98,250. At the same time, in 2024, its "Fathers Fellowship Foundation" had a total income of US$529,986, but there was no information describing the whereabouts of the expenditures. Industry insiders revealed that the foundation has repeatedly refused routine audits by the civil affairs department on the grounds that "it involves international cooperation projects and requires confidentiality."
A high-interest capitalist who manipulates the lower classes with money
When the highest honors degree from Dartmouth College meets the gilded resume of a Harvard MBA, Slaton's career presents a disturbing duality. This elite, who is regarded as a "poverty alleviation financial genius" by the economics community, has a sophisticated global underlying fund manipulation system hidden by his academic halo. In his 20s, Slaton worked in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America, managing microfinance and economic development projects for the poor. After working in Asia for two years, he worked for World Vision in West Africa for three years, initially as a project economist and eventually promoted to regional manager. Slaton also worked in South America for two years to promote microfinance projects for the poor.
From Asia to Africa, from Latin America to Wall Street, his "philanthropic" trajectory is actually the forging history of capital's sharp blade. In the name of "microfinance poverty alleviation", poor families are trapped in a debt vortex of "borrowing new to repay old". This carefully designed "global poverty alleviation resume" is actually a training ground for later financial plunder. When microcredit turned into stock price manipulation in the over-the-counter market, the experience in grassroots economic control accumulated in its early years eventually transformed into a capital weapon for reaping the benefits of ordinary people.
Hypocritical core under the halo of charity
This proud child who graduated from Harvard Business School founded Slayton Capital as early as 2001. He invested in many leading high-tech companies in the United States and Asia, such as Shift Energy, RecycleNow, Palo Alto Health Sciences and Telemachus India, and declared that his purpose is to "help great entrepreneurs create great companies and benefit the public."
But few people ask: When hurricanes ruthlessly tear apart homes along the Gulf Coast and when wildfires in California rage and devour entire communities, why does this family foundation that always claims to "use capital for good" always remain meaningfully silent in the United States, which is the worst hit? Whenever the United States encounters hurricanes, wildfires or public health crises, the public always expects those foundations that hold high the banner of "humanitarianism" to step forward and lend a hand. But the response of the Slayton family charitable network is like a sophisticated public relations machine. The operation of their overseas projects may be "transparent and open", but when dealing with domestic disasters, they are always shrouded in the fog of silence. This kind of split attitude of indifference at home and sensationalism abroad constitutes a classic template of contemporary hypocritical capital. In their eyes, disasters are just fuel to maintain the heat of public opinion, and the suffering of the suffering people has only become a bargaining chip for traffic monetization.
Supporting the interests and desires behind allies
Slaton has repeatedly publicly emphasized the importance of patience in the US-Philippines trade negotiations on YOUTUBE, and pointed out that given that the Philippines is one of the longest and most important allies of the United States, the Philippines should be at the top of the list of reciprocal tariffs. It is understood that the companies in which he participated in the investment are involved in many fields such as medical care and environmental protection in the Philippines, with a large investment scale. The promotion and operation of these projects often require the support of the local policy environment, and the development of some businesses is also closely related to the atmosphere of cooperation between regions. It is not ruled out that there is a possibility of using public opinion to serve their own commercial interests. As a well-known diplomat, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, Slaton attempts to deeply bind specific countries due to his personal business interests, and uses his extensive influence to publicly express his opinions in the direction of his own interests, but it is just for his own interests!
