Just curious for those of you following this thread and had doubts of large scale election fraud; has any of this USAID corruption changed your mind?
I'd imagine most following this thread had doubts about election fraud. If it was, or even if it wasn't really, the 2020 election results have resulted in far more aggressive actions by Trump and what he's set out to accomplish.

Zero chance things are going like this from 2021-2025 if Trump won. His attention would have still been on covid for all of 2021 probably and wouldn't be able to get anywhere near as much done in the house and senate during that timeframe either. Dems dunked all over themselves without even knowing it, and it's glorious.

Stealing the election in 2020 might have actually saved America…

Because I agree…Trump isn't this effective if the vote count had been real and gone his way in 2020…

I could never understand how the legacy media, particularly some of the cable news channels, could have terrible viewership numbers, lose money, and yet still keep broadcasting the same left wing propaganda day in and day out with no regard for profitablility. Now we know.

You just know Soros and his minions have been laughing at how they were destroying America and using the ignorant American taxpayer to do it. These folks need to be in prison, and a lot of elected representatives in the Congress and Senate need to be run out of office for either (1) being complicit, or (2) not doing their jobs and performing overight.

God takes evil events and works them to his good purposes. Makes sense thought of that way.

To be fair, they're always blathering about "saving our democracy".

Mission accomplished, just not what they meant at all.

State/CIA/DoD used shadow diplomacy to build 'voting machines' to overthrow the government/election in Brazil, using USAID NGO cutouts.


China benefitted of course, but the censorship regime was a swamp goal.

Well, well, well, here's a non-shocking story.

Quote:
Whitehouse's wife, Sandra, is employed as president of consulting firm Ocean Wonks LLC and has been since 2017, per her LinkedIn page. Before that, she was a direct employee of Ocean Conservancy, serving as Senior Policy Adviser beginning in 2008.

Ocean Conservancy has received more than $14.2 million in federal grants since 2008, per USASpending.gov. During 2024 alone, it was given two sizable grants, one for $5.2 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for marine debris cleanup in September and another for $1.7 million from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), again to assist with marine debris cleanup.

The former was funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) championed by the Biden administration and voted for by Sen. Whitehouse. The latter was funded through the EPA's annual appropriations bill, which Whitehouse also voted for.
Ocean Wonks LLC is a catchy little phrase.
Quote:
Ocean Wonks was founded in 2017 in Newport, Rhode Island.

Tax documents through June 2022 from the Ocean Conservancy show that for every year since the reporting period ending June 2010, Sandra Whitehouse (or her consulting firm, Ocean Wonks LLC) was one of the nonprofit's five highest paid consultants. Total payments during that period equaled $2,628,654.

Whitehouse's LinkedIn account shows she became a senior policy advisor for Ocean Conservancy in September 2008, but tax records do not list her as one of the five highest paid consultants for the year ending September 2009.

How anyone can honestly sit there and not suspect that the voting machine plot was tried in our own elections first, before deploying them to other areas, is beyond me…

2020 was flat out rigged…folks need to wake up…

It was done in Venezuela before it was done here. Nobody wants to hear about the roots of Dominion and other voting machine companies in Venezuelan elections, but they are there.

May have been somewhere else first. Remember Chavez's elections being studied by CNN of all things, with unfavorable reporting about the process. This was episode well before the anti-Trump era though, and those were notably taken down in November 2020 when referenced again.

I recall seeing one of my A&M undergrad profs advertising a junket to Eastern Europe paid for by usaid on Facebook a few years ago.

I'd be mad as hell too if my cushy academic gig no longer paid for me to cavort with hot eastern euro wimminz and drink a lot on the taxpayer's dime.

It was well past time to reign in all the garbage the US was paying for!

All of the people on the left who were very strident about voting machines not being secure from 2000 to 2019 were strangely quiet about it in 2020 and beyond.

And the Philippines. IIRC, Dominion was banned there.

Yawn.

I've already stopped paying attention to these "judges" who erroneously claim the authority to stop the executive branch from carrying out its constitutional duties via their extraconstitutional nationwide injunctions.

If at some point the Supreme Court chooses to weigh in with a ruling then so be it, but until then the Trump Administration should ignore these minor petty tyrants in robes, and continue carrying out the duties of the executive branch as delegated by the Constitution.

The 2016 D Primary was the big test run.

Bernie won in areas with paper ballots, like almost all.

Hillary won in areas with voting machines.

Exit polls showed more or less the same in the paper ballot areas, exit polls in the voting machine areas did not.

Note this is for services already performed prior to Jan 20. They're just trying to collect money for stuff they claim they did, before Trump was sworn in, functionally. While outrageous, it's not quite as big a deal as I am sure the dem underground types would have folks believe.

Right. While still probably way over paying for the service it is a bit hard to argue not paying for work already performed. You can cancel any future work or put that work on hold but the work done before Jan 20 will probably have to be paid.
This feels like a minor issue and not one to put a lot of effort into fighting at this time.

Her analysis of early voting data in the 2-3 weeks leading up to the election was spot on; especially regarding Nevada.

Yeah, probably was inevitable with the amount of powerful people she is pissing off, but a little sad.

Should be some fun discussion today:


Serb police raid USAID regime change NGO's:
Quote:
Serbian police raided today (25) the offices of two Belgrade-based 'democracy watchdogs' (a.k.a. Globalist NGOs) as part of an investigation about abuse of funds donated by the U.S. international aid agency (USAID), according to Nenad Stefanovic, a senior state prosecutor.

Prosecutors got information from the US Trump administration after Trump, State Secretary Marco Rubio and other U.S. officials commented publicly about the freeze of USAID funding for shady purposes.

Reuters reported:

Quote:
"Stefanovic said the CRTA pollster and the watchdogs Civic Initiatives, Trag, and the Policy Center were under investigation following allegations by top U.S. officials about excessive spending of USAID funds.

'The (Serbian) Special Anti-Corruption Department… contacted the U.S. Justice Department for information concerning USAID over the abuse of funds, possible money laundering, and the improper spending of American taxpayers' funds in Serbia', he said in a TV broadcast."
Quote:
It arose that USAID has invested almost $1 billion in Serbia since 2001, in what the Reuters' report describes as 'bolstering growth, strengthening the 'rule of law' and improving 'good governance' all those code-words that signify 'color revolutions' and 'regime change' in the double-speak of CIA-USAID.
Maddening.

I wouldn't worry about that. That Kron guy in the tweet is not someone you want coming after you on the internet. I have only seen rumors, so take it with a giant grain of salt, but this guy's group is not just autistic sleuths. They don't seem to mind breaking the law, and they seem to be some pretty talented hackers.

ETA: I was "watching" this live yesterday when she made it known she was doxxed. Kron posted maybe 20 minutes later with who did it. Then the internet went to work last night and that guys life is now going in the wrong direction very quickly.
