This is all reasonably accurate...
Have to do an obligatory "u mad, bro?" because you do indeed still seem mad, despite your basically accurate grasp of the events.
u mad, bro?

We don't even see any reports on the forums here cuz its so bad?
No, just that no one uses CAOD anymore. There are plenty of reports detailing our continued embarrassment in excruciating (or delicious, depending on your POV) detail.
You'd think a troll of your caliber would be aware of the shifts in media sites...

So can anyone tell me how many NC Tech moons PL has taken so far and how many NC has got back since they were tossed out of the Drone Regions like, my favorite, a flaming bag of dog ****?
60/0, give or take.

Also I was wondering if Goons were ever going to come help or if Mitts officially told his BFFs to go **** themselves? Seems like TESTGoon could help here but they would rather go all the way across EVE to help -A-.......wtf..
My personal analysis, for what it's worth, is that the Goon/Test pressure on IT/INIT is a compromise offensive for the NC's interests. Attacking IT and INIT is the only way they can contribute to the NC cause without directly attacking sensitive targets PL and Droners. Attacking IT and INIT allows the 4th bloc (AAA, SE, etc) to take hold, a bloc which is hostile to both the droner bloc and the it/init bloc.
People may think that there is a stretch in the causation I've suggested, which is fine, but I'm fairly confident. Furthermore, I would even argue that the goon's/test's offensive on IT and INIT is probably doing more to help the NC's long-term interests than the NC's own current sloppy flailing.

How much a week in Tech is Goons help costing NC?
0-65b isk-worth, depending on the degree of impact you think goon help in venal would have.
Personally? I don't think you can speak with much certainty about these things, but I'd say zero. At least if they were just another 200 man blob floating around venal for a few hours on the weekend, as they would be under the current campaign format. Would their participation radically alter the tone of the campaign? I'd say no, but again it's hard to say with any certainty at all.
Ultimately it's up to you, but I think I've given a fair representation of the relevant factors.
Hope that helps.

That's all absolutely fine. Like I said, there are just too many loose variables at play to really argue with any certainty. Your interpretation is just as valid as mine, and may very well be the correct one.

I don't mean this in a condescending way, (I won't talk down my nose from my lofty vantage point as a member of rage  ), but INIT is only relevant as a member of the IT bloc, a membership that is now undeniable with IT's massive deployment.
With the power vacuum created by the collapse of Atlas and the retreat of AAA and ROL, there was a very real chance of 2 blocs developing that were neutral towards each other, but hostile to the NC. The development of a 4th bloc hostile to both the IT bloc and the drone bloc is definitely in the NC's long-term strategic interests, and the establishment of that 4th bloc must come at the cost of INIT space.
So it's not that INIT matters in and of itself, but its situation does have significant importance on the grand political stage.
I'll take this opportunity for a bit of a disclaimer. I really enjoy the political/strategic stuff, and I therefore probably exaggerate its importance and depth just for my own amusement. Most grand changes are probably because some nerd has a falling out with some other nerd and a bunch or spaceships die as a result or some nerd finally gets a girlfriend and his spaceship empire collapses. However, I really enjoy the immersion and escapism of spaceship galacto-politics, so I overindulge in analysis.
