Good riddance to USAID

Wow! Trump is cleaning house. It reminds me of when King Josiah came into power in Judah. Josiah cleaned house (II Kings 23) and the Bible says, “he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD” (II Kings 22:2.)
I am talking about cleaning or removing the organization called “USAID.” The name “USAID” is as bad of a misnomer as the name “Inflation Reduction Act,” which has nothing to do with reducing inflation, and everything to do with ripping off the taxpayers spending billions on the New Green Deal boondoggle. A commonality is that democrats started both.
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele revealed “USAID” for what it is when he stated, “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…, but the rest is used to fuel dissent, finance protests, and undermine administrations that refuse to align with the globalist agenda.”
It is no wonder Elon Musk called the agency a “criminal organization” and President Trump said the organization has been poorly managed and “run by radical lunatics”.
Musk is quoted as stating, “Did you know that USAID, using YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people?” This is very interesting since the CIA tried to pay off analysts to bury the findings that “COVID lab leak was likely.”
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and others have long held that USAID was a CIA front. Using USAID, the CIA funded the riots that led to the Maidan rebellion — the color revolution — in Ukraine, “and we’re not told we are financing those riots. The newspapers never told us. Our government never told us. …USAID… put $5 billion into funding those riots,” according to Kennedy.
Discussing the fact that Victoria Nuland picked Ukraine’s new cabinet a month before the overthrow, as evidenced by recorded telephone documentation, Tucker Carlson asked, “Is that how democracy works? Is that democracy?” Kennedy responded, “Well, that’s the point, USAID doesn’t really do, and the CIA doesn’t do democracy. …the CIA has overthrown, I think, 83 governments between 1947 and 1997. That’s a third of the governments on Earth, and most were democracies. [The CIA] doesn’t do democracy.”
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, former 20-year CIA officer Amaryllis Kennedy stated that the CIA, at its best, is an intelligence gathering organization, but “where they get into trouble” is when the organization “rather than going in and reporting what is happening in every corner of the world, they are making it happen. …rather than reporting that a coup is about to take place, you know for absolute sure it’s about to take place [because they are causing it.] That has not worked out in 100% of cases, as far as I can tell.” Tucker stated, “Instead of intelligence gathering, it’s a type of secret military.” “Right,” stated Amaryllis Kennedy. Tucker stated, “So, I mean what you are describing is conceptual corruption of first principles, if the point of your foreign policy is to spread democracy, you can’t end democracy in the name of democracy. That’s insane. No one says that.” Amaryllis Kennedy stated, “Unless you are the democratic party in the United States these days who seem to be —you know — have cut their teeth on ending democracy to save it overseas, and now we are practicing the same theory here in the United States, where they told us for the last two years that Donald Trump is such a threat to democracy that we must stage a palace coup, replace our candidate with someone who has not received a single vote, undermine every other candidate of their party and every other party in the courts, censor American citizens, undermine the Constitution, all in order to save democracy.”
Jesse Watters shared some of the waste of USAID such as $43 million on a gas station in Afghanistan with no customers, $15 million to promote gays and lesbians and trans in Jamaica, $4 million for trans-Siberians, $5.5 million for gay rights in Uganda, over $6 million “for men who have sex with men” in South Africa, $17 million to promote inclusion in Vietnam, $25 million to promote Green Transportation in the country of Georgia (paying a shady organization to put up a billboard), $1 million for Arab and Jewish photographers, $8 million to teach Sri Lankan journalist to avoid binary gender language (avoiding “he” and “she”), $122 million to terrorist (“the Taliban was taxpayer funded”), and much more. Watters continued by saying, the things USAID does are subversive and divide a country. “USAID bragged about overthrowing governments. They bragged about supporting military coups and color revolutions in the Middle East, Asia, and Ukraine.” In addition, it was revealed the news agency Politico received $26 million in the last four years under the Biden administration, the New York Times got millions, and journalist were on the CIA payrolls. That means we had a “state run media.”
With a 2023 USAID budget of $40 billion, doing the things above, and being the face of America, its not surprising that people would be rioting in the streets, shouting “death to America.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. would remain the “most generous nation on Earth,” but “they [USAID] don’t consider that they work for the U.S., they just think they’re a global entity and that their master is the globe and not the United States, and that’s not what the statute says, and that’s not sustainable.”
USAID gone? Good riddance.
