Trump Shuts Down the CIA/State Department/Obama Slush Fund "USAID"
Michael Shellenberger on the Marxist funding pool:
President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are undermining democracy and national security by taking over the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), say Democrats and the media. "This is a five alarm fire," wrote Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on X. "The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk. Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security." ABC News described USAID as in a state of "on-going turmoil" and in "chaos." A senior USAID executive told ABC, "The warp-speed of this mafia-like takeover has shaken USAID staff to the core." ...Shellenberger writes that USAID is the main engine of "Regime Change" abroad -- as well as Regime Change in America.
[A]ll Trump has done is put his people in charge of USAID, paused its grants, and shut down the organization's communications. When asked about USAID yesterday, he said, "It's been run by a bunch of radical lunatics and we're getting them out... and then we'll make a decision." If the courts were to find that Trump dissolved USAID in violation of the law, the evidence suggests that he would obey the court ruling, as he did with every order he received between 2017 and 2021. And if USAID was funding worthwhile activities, they can be re-funded in the future. What's more, researchers have caught USAID abusing its powers, including by funding everything from censorship to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which may have done research that resulted in the Covid pandemic. Between 2004 and 2022, USAID was the largest US government funder of EcoHealth Alliance, which sub-awarded grant funding to WIV. USAID gave EcoHealth Alliance $54 million during that period, which was more even than the $42 million the group received from the Pentagon. Samantha Powers, the USAID Director under President Barack Obama, evaded questions about what USAID with the WIV, alleged Senator Rand Paul in 2023. "Some of the research proposals in 2018 were the Wuhan Institute of Virology asking for money to create a... SARS-like coronavirus with a furin cleavage site," said Paul. "That's exactly what COVID-19 turned out to be." Paul accused Powers of withholding information. "We want to know if there were other research proposals you either granted or denied that were in the same vein as creating viruses that could have become COVID-19. We can't tell because you won't give us information... I now have 25 Senators that have sent you a letter, and you aren't responding... You are being dishonest." Evidence of USAID withholding information from Congress is sufficient justification for Trump to remove the agency's leadership and pause funding. After all, USAID may be currently funding dangerous research and not informing Congress.
USAID has the distinction of being both a "deep state" agency, involved in covert actions aimed at destabilizing foreign governments, and one of the main US government agencies that comprise the foreign policy establishment, which many on both the Left and Right refer to as "The Blob," because it is comprised of amorphous shape-shifting and self-perpetuating imperialistic elite, like the famous gelatinous alien in the 1958 science fiction movie by the same name. A few hours after USAID's website went dark, Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador, wrote on X, "Most governments don't want USAID funds flowing into their countries because they understand where much of that money actually ends up. While marketed as support for development, democracy, and human rights, the majority of these funds are funneled into opposition groups, NGOs with political agendas, and destabilizing movements. At best, maybe 10% of the money reaches real projects that help people in need (there are such cases), but the rest is used to fuel dissent, finance protests, and undermine administrations that refuse to align with the globalist agenda. Cutting this so-called aid isn't just beneficial for the United States; it's also a big win for the rest of the world." ... USAID is among other US government organizations that have promoted regime change abroad, including the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Even "To its proponents," notes the Washington Post, "USAID is an indispensable arm of U.S. foreign policy" that spends $40 billion per year to influence politics in 130 nations. The money is ostensibly used for things like helping refugees but, as Jacobin and Chomsky noted, that money is always highly strategic and aimed at influencing politics. It's worth considering that many of the defenders of USAID operate as ostensibly normal charities. USAID is "a national security tool kit," said Konyndyk, the president of Refugees International. As part of US government efforts to overthrow governments abroad, or simply influence what they do, USAID has in recent years been funding censorship advocacy worldwide through its "Countering Disinformation" program, which is part of its Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS). This work has included funding for so-called "fact-checking" organizations, including in Brazil, which governments use as a predicate for demanding censorship by social media companies. The USAID program lays out its strategy, which is to fund ostensibly "civil society" organizations to pressure social media companies like Facebook and X to censor more, and to conduct "fact-checking." USAID also promoted pressuring advertisers to demand more censorship from social media companies, notes Foundation for Freedom Online founder Mike Benz. The agency promoted "prebunking," like the kind used by Aspen Institute to program journalists and social media companies to censor the Hunter Biden laptop, as well as "strategic silence," which is similar to what Aspen promoted to journalists in the summer of 2020 before the New York Post published its first story about the laptop. USAID has funded the Aspen Institute in the past.I excerpted a lot there, so let me propose that if you liked that, you should pay the $5/month or whatever it is for his substack. It's definitely worth it. Speaking of Stanky Janky, this is the kind of censor and psychological operations officer against the populace of the United States that USAID was funding:
... Censorship advocate Nina Jankowicz, who was briefly the head of the Department of Homeland Security's "Disinformation Governance Board," posted a defense of USAID on the social media platform BlueSky yesterday. Shortly after, Benz noted that USAID is one of her funders. Benz also pointed to USAID funding for a group called "Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project" (OCCRP), which investigated Rudy Giuliani, and whose work was cited in a letter written by a CIA agent, resulting in the impeachment of Donald Trump. In a documentary, OCCRP admitted that USAID must approve of its senior employees, which shows that OCCRP is not editorially independent of the US government. The US government was OCCRP's first and largest donor. And OCCRP's head says his organization's reporting resulted in regime change in five to six nations. And, Benz noted, USAID funded the Atlantic Council, which was part of the Censorship Industrial Complex that demanded censorship of disfavored election and Covid information in 2020 and 2021. ... And, according to a new CNN story today, USAID officials appear to have attempted to "circumvent Trump's executive order to freeze foreign aid for 90 days." The Trump administration put "Around 60 senior USAID staff... on leave last week" and "Another senior official was put on leave for trying to reverse that move." Said Musk last night, "We don't have "an apple with a worm in it. We have a ball of worms... USAID is a ball of worms." So why did Trump and Musk take such aggressive action against USAID? Part of the reason may be that it is a funder of the Censorship Industrial Complex, which targeted Trump and his supporters and which Musk exposed through the Twitter Files. Another part of the reason is that USAID is an instrument of US empire, and voters elected Trump to pursue "America First" over global commitments.
Adding fuel to the firestorm as the fact that [the so-called Disinformation Governance Board]'s director, Nina Jankowicz, had repeatedly cast doubt on The Post's reporting about former first son Hunter Biden's laptop. Then-DHS Secretary Alejandro Majorkas quietly discontinued the board weeks after it was announced, leaving Jankowicz to find other employment as the head of a nonprofit that as of April 2024 was insisting that Russia had "interfered in our democracy" during the 2016 election.Note that the Orwellian "Disinformation Governance Board" was funded and part of the DHS, but this is the kind of censor USAID and all the illegal censorship NGOs are funding -- anti-American, anti-democracy, catspaws of the transnational transgressive "elite." But also note that since she was forced to step down as Biden's Top Censor, she is currently funded by USAID.

In the decade since Obama opened the doors on using USAID so fully, the Democrat Party actively pushed away its base. It was going to win by controlling the money.
And now the money is going.

For those who insist that Dems are doing nothing. "We are here today to shine a light on the crime that is unfolding before our eyes and support our tremendous civil servants at U.S. AID."
Dems need theater and passion. This is how you fight this evil. Shine a light and not give the GOP an inch because they want to destroy the Republic and that is a fact.
Raskin is eloquently speaking on CSPAN right now, but where in the F**K is the MSM
they are ignoring it. This is another reason I'm a bit frustrated with people screaming Dems "do nothing." If the Democrats hold a news conference and MSM ignores it, what are our options?
USAID is about more than doing what's right. It's about maintaining US power and influence in the world. These countries that we help can easily become the next Afghanistan without our infuence and help.
Could we please get a tv station that supports Democrats. it’s really important not to have to rely on Republican Comcast. Most msnbc are former Republican operatives.

USAID is the CIA's public-facing way of influencing world events with taxpayer money.
Why would the CIA be secretly funding drag queens in Afghanistan or whatever?
I don't think the people in charge at the CIA give a fuck about drag queens in Afghanistan, so I have to imagine there was an ulterior motive. The most obvious would be that it would be deeply shocking and upsetting to Afghani's, and be but one small thing the CIA was doing to undermine their society and exert control.
They were also funding similar things in the US. Probably for the same reason.

willowed but extremely important: neither. The vehicle for the funding doesn't matter.
-EcoHealth and their enablers have been completely nailed on what they did for a couple of years now on the fact they made the virus, and how, complete with the receipts. The grant proposals had it all.
-The same group was exposed, explicitly, in originating the "natural origin" coverup papers
-They were exposed back in 2021 in grant proposals as KNOWING several cures for severe cases of the virus, including ones they suppressed as "misinformation"
-The same group has been exposed recently on wholesale pharma safety study fraud. A majority of pharma safety studies have been utter bullshit for years.
But that's just the patsies they got to make the virus and leak it from China to blame the Chinese. Step one level up; now you get to the people who stuffed BLATANTLY LETHAL sequences into the vax payload without disclosing it to regulators, wrapped it in COTS transfection products, then denied that it could transfect.

Because MSNBC doesn't cover every anti-Trump angle that they come up with, that means that MSNBC is actually in Trump's pocket because it's squashing all the good stories that would easily take Trump down.

Consider the implications of three different vax makers all arbitrarily making tweaks to their transfectable payload to make a completely unnecessary substitution of a set of markers some CRISPR methods require... and a billion people having those shoved into the genes of random cells. You can go take those spike-generating genes... which totally weren't going to get transcribed, trust us, bro!... and lift them out and wholesale replace them with basically anything you want now.

Any one of these moves in the last week and a half would have been met with a concentrated-fire hellstorm of media opposition, propaganda, narrative forcing, etc etc etc.
But doing everything all at once means they (you know, "They") can't get their shit together to forge any kind of coherent counter-narrative. The news is just "Trump is doing a bunch of shit while Democrats and their News Faces whine about it".
Not only that, most of the new team are raiding into enemy territory directly and telling them "I don't really care, Margaret".

The purpose of USAID is to provide monies/grants/scholarships to foreign nationals in lower socio-economic nations both for "nation building" and to elevate living conditions. Nice enough idea, but as you can see, the scope of such grants and aid became ridiculous. Plus, a lot of USAID officers would either skim off the top and pocket their tithe, or receive a payback from the host country government officials to whom they provided the grants. This was well known at State for decades, but if you brought it up for Waste, Fraud and Abuse, guess who got investigated. (Hint: it was not the AID officers.)

And I kinda stopped, "wow."

It's more than that. It's epochal. What we've seen in the last two weeks is beyond anything conservatives have dreamed about. Some hoped that Reagan might go after the big government blob in like manner but he never came close to these sorts of actions. But these aren't just individual actions, they're obviously part of a war-plan.

Well yeah... they're contested because the Russian army invaded them and then jammed in a bunch of settlers in what is part of a century old playbook. But that isn't really going back to what kicked things off.
Unpopular Russian puppet government got displaced with a hefty amount of cheering and indeterminate amount of Western funding and dirty tricks - it's a win-win for the Western left, because either Russia does nothing and takes the L on their efforts to pull Ukraine into a tighter orbit... or they totally sperg out and hand the Western left a war on a platter. They chose to sperg out, probably due to demographic panic.
The US lefty faction driving for war are evil fucks who never intended to do more than just keep Ukraine barely afloat. The Russians are evil fucks for the usual Russian reasons that make them loathed by nearly all Eastern European states.

As I've mentioned frequently, Mike Benz outed much of USAID's laundry on Joe Rogan on December 3, 2024. So this wasn't known to the "good guys" during Trump 1.0.
With USAID now under Marco Rubio, that neatly sidesteps both DOGE's authority and questions about if Trump can dissolve it.

And another amusing part of this - the coup put Petro Poroshenko in power - not the woman who had been the opposition candidate in 2010 and was the second most popular political leader in Ukraine at the time.
Petro was so popular of course that the moment the US allowed another round of elections in Ukraine he lost and lil Z chased him out of the country on corruption charges (which were likely true).

Canada is an exception, though they recently claimed they recently claimed they could get there by 2032. (probably why he's smakking Justin). There was a claim Trump might move this up to 5 percent

To be fair, this blowback has been many years in the making and without it, the crumbling never happens. The political persecution/prosecution of Trump and MAGA, the scandal of Covid-19 and the planet-shaking power grab, the gaslighting from an utterly discredited MFM over the entire, corrupt lie that was the Biden years... every bit of that and more had to set the foundation for the electorate's acceptance of this new (geo)political dynamic.
It's truly a historic Venn diagram of big events that's enabled this revolution of change. This isn't just a reswinging pendulum like before because the nation's mood shifted a bit and the GOPe grew some spine. This is historically different and potentially one of America's greatest reformations.

Unpopular Russian puppet government got displaced with a hefty amount of cheering and indeterminate amount of Western funding and dirty tricks - it's a win-win for the Western left, because either Russia does nothing and takes the L on their efforts to pull Ukraine into a tighter orbit... or they totally sperg out and hand the Western left a war on a platter. They chose to sperg out, probably due to demographic panic.
The US lefty faction driving for war are evil fucks who never intended to do more than just keep Ukraine barely afloat. The Russians are evil fucks for the usual Russian reasons that make them loathed by nearly all Eastern European states.

A Preference Cascade is an illusion of public sentiment, created when 20 - 30% very vocal people, shout down any dissent... and because at least 50% of people don't want to fight, don't engage.
It is what happened with gay marriage, and Man Made Global Warming... and a number of other public 'beliefs' that drive public policy.
It only takes about 10% of people to say 'bullshit' and give vocal opposition, for the 50% of people who do not want to fight about it, to then give their honest opinions.
We've seen this in the last couple of years... as some on the Right have fucking had enough, and will speak in public about issues.... had this happen myself when everyone in the Grocery store line, is suddenly agreeing with Conservative views... ones they would normally not espouse.

I saw the same argument for US-Mexico border crossers, and why an incomplete border fence was enough. It's not true. Sure, that's not where they cross now, because the crossers naturally choose the easiest points to cross. Once those are shut down, they'll go to the harder places. Even if the only place to cross was along the spine of the Rockies, they'd find a way to do it. Blocking them requires active measures; geologic features aren't enough.

The Democrats today are Rocky getting into the ring with Clubber Lang for the first time. They think they're so hot, but they've been fighting nothing but tomato cans for the past 100 years. This is the first time in forever that they're fighting a serious opponent who actually wants to win, and they have absolutely no idea how to deal with it.
The key difference is that unlike Rocky, they're convinced that nothing's wrong and getting beaten is just a fluke. They have no Apollo Creed waiting in the wings to train them up and put them in the right mindset to win again. So all they know how to do is double, triple, quadruple down on what they know, since it's always worked up to this point.
They'll keep getting punched out if the stupid party learns from Trump and emulates him.

TJM, with all due respect, I would read your books, but, with a few exceptions (e.g., Robert Graves' Claudius novels), I dislike historical fiction. All it does is muddy the waters as to what was said and done, and what wasn't.

This is so much fun after 4yrs of watching Sleepy Joe, where the Dims held their breath that he would not fall down or crap his pants on air.
Four long and stinky years later, President Trump enters the arena, sets the world on fire... as heads spin, people are too tired to scream at skies, the media is trying to sort it all out, the Dims don't know which area to defend to his offense etc.
It is so good I am losing words. And it is rare that I lose words and not keep repeating: glorious, fablulous, etc.
We have been abundantly blessed to live to see this, after the murk of the swamp gasses and media propaganda.
The curtains pull back to reveal their corruption and money laundering. I need a drink to tamper down my huge daily smile. Thank you, God.

I don't think so, everyone knows Trudeau is dead man walking. They were just being noncommittal saying they would resist and talk with Trump, or at least the new PM would be.

Of course, "Lutheran" is merely an adjective applied to the skinsuit that took over that church's corpse some years ago.

And once again a public service announcement that the sect responsible for this type of behavior is the ELCA, not the Missouri or WELS synods.
I may be wrong about ELCA but to me they're a skinsuit ORG.

Unless we forget, there were non uniformed Russian mercenaries in Ukraine. No heroes there. Just villains.
