USAID has been a front for funding CIA Ops.

Read a Tom Clancy novel...lol.

Ditto. Another find:



Quite a thread of USAID-origin treachery, linked to NGO's/Soros etc. More at the thread.
And I'll ask again here, why is Susan Rice still working at the Pentagon?

Very long thread, but worth clicking through. I have known about the Center for American Progress for years, but the scale of this funding is mind-blowing.



This was/is communism by another name. John Podesta led:
Quote:
This wasn't legislation. This was executive-branch capture. Voters never approved it. Congress never debated it. And now, the Left has permanent infrastructurebuilt and maintained by public funding.

Meanwhile, conservative groups get nothing. No parallel infrastructure. No grants. No embedded agencies. Just censorship, audits, and public smears.

This is what they mean by "saving democracy":

Billions to leftist orgs

Massive GOTV ops under federal cover

Protest movements
subsidized by taxpayers

Power concentrated in NGOs that answer to no one

Final receipts:
$600B+ allocated across 500+ programs (Justice40)

$138M+ in direct awards via Justice40 Accelerator

4M+ voter contacts by Sunrise Movement

Indivisible protest partnerships with House Democrats

CAP's direct personnel pipeline into federal agencies
Never, ever vote for a Democrat.

Nortex delivers more great information! I think your last 2 posts deserve their own thread, along with some combination of Mike Benz explanations on the NGO/carve out game, to give a summarized overview of how it all works and the way it has impacted the country.

Maybe that's what this mega-thread already is, but I get so deep on the weeds in this one, that it's hard to come up for air and get my head wrapped around it. I assume there are others like me!

Thx very much. Benz, Insurrection Barbie, and of course Data Republican make it pretty easy to pull this stuff. Glad y'all agree it's a big deal.

Some 'odd' figures for companies/NGO's (such as USGLC) receiving USAID money:



Norm Coleman, as a reminder, was a Republican senator. The swamp in action.
Quote:
Based in Washington D.C., the USGLC advocates a higher International Affairs Budget in order to enhance national security, forward American business interests, and improve humanitarian assistance around the world through political lobbying. The International Affairs Budget is a component of the U.S. federal budget that funds many U.S. State Departmentactivities and programs, including the U.S. Agency for International Development(USAID), the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Peace Corps, the World Bank, aid to Israel, international development programs, and many other civilian-led programs abroad (including civilian reconstruction teams and democratic governance projects in Iraq and Afghanistan).

What is crazy is I was reading a fiction book (has a lot of history and facts in it) that was first published in 2018 that outright said that USAID has always been a front for the CIA. Apparently this has been well known for a long time in the intelligence committee.

A Macedonian writes about USAID in The Hill:
Quote:
I am a human rights activist and advocate for my country Macedonia and for its language and its culture.

As an American taxpayer, you have probably never heard of me. You might not know much about Macedonia or even be able to find it on a map.

But here's one thing you have a right to know: Millions of your taxpayer dollars were spent to foment a political crisis in my country, to overthrow its government, and even to defame me personally.

When you read about Elon Musk putting the U.S. Agency for International Development "through the woodchipper," you are likely to see a whole bunch of claims about starving children and cuts to lifesaving medical research. But the truth about what USAID does or did is quite another story. Your tax dollars were (and still are through other channels) being spent not on altruism or charity, but to start wars, sway elections, and cause tremendous suffering in other countries.

Both U.S. political parties have long been part of this racket, which involves the creation and funding of U.S. foreign policy organizations in other countries (mislabeled "civil society organizations") and U.S.-controlled media outlets (mislabeled "independent media"). USAID has served as an essential source of funding for these instruments to brutally crush human rights and dissent while imposing U.S. foreign policy around the globe.

Since Trump shuttered USAID, Republicans have suddenly started pretending they never supported or profited from it. And as fully expected, Democrats are decrying the "heartless, evil Nazis" who cut off supposed aid to the supposedly needy. But both parties look the same from here. Most of them support of Israel's total war of annihilation and destruction in Gaza. Most of them are willing to do anything to keep the war going between Russia and Ukraine, up to and including literally arming Nazis in the Donbas.

That should be enough on its own to show American taxpayers that their government's foreign interventionism will not end just because USAID is gone.

The American demands of Macedonia that led to U.S. intervention there illustrate just how little respect Uncle Sam has always had for us. The U.S. wanted to force us to join NATO, but Greece was blocking the move. In exchange for letting the U.S. bring us in, Greece demanded an unbelievably degrading concession that Macedonia first be made to change its name to "North Macedonia," which represents a literal wiping out of our national identity, culture, and history.
Quote:
The U.S. has spent more than $1 billion in Macedonia since its 1991 independence. U.S. taxpayers should wonder: If that much is spent on a country with a population smaller than Idaho's, how much is their government spending to meddle worldwide?

Multiply the case of Macedonia by the number of countries in the world (many of them much larger), and you can begin to appreciate why so many of the world's so-called "needy" are celebrating the cutoff of USAID funding.

You can also understand why the U.S. doesn't have free healthcare, why poverty remains rampant, and why its infrastructure is crumbling. For generations, all the money has been spent elsewhere, wreaking havoc worldwide in order to achieve hegemony and give life and health to your country's military-industrial complex.
A great first-hand report of the nefarious impacts/costs of USAID, from a tiny locale.

I've said (as a libertarian)for a while I would support some form of healthcare or free college if we'd stop all our foreign spending.

The same people that make free government services their entire personality are the same people that balk at us not spending money on Ukrainian pensions and Gay parades in Ireland.

Notice the book she is proudly cradling for the video, by Heather Cox Richardson. This gal claims to be a historian but her substack and everything she has written is essentially a deranged tirade about how/why America isn't more Scandinavian/socialist.

I actually think she should be more read on the right today as she is to a degree a latter day Saul Alinksy to our subversive left.
Quote:
Divided into three parts, the book starts with "Undermining America." It explores the role of race, class and global events in shaping how Americans viewed their government and elected parties to lead it. Aspects of this history are well known to anyone who took a general education American history course, such as Nixon's "Southern strategy" and the so-called "Reagan revolution," but other historical moments may be new. Were you taught about the Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden to honor George Washington? Did your history professor connect the rise of the mythological cowboy to southern Democrats and their rage against "socialism" that would give African Americans equal rights? On a related note, did an English literature professor ever share that Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter edited her Little House on the Prairieseries to be what HCR calls "an anti-New Deal screed"?

After summarizing how we got to the 2016 election, the second part of the book delves into the four years of the Trump administration. America may have flirted with authoritarianism in the past, but it came quite close to adopting it during the Trump years. Richardson described rereading this part of the book in an interview with a Boston arts magazine: "That is probably what I found most shocking…. I found it just absolutely chilling. We were so freaking close [to losing our democracy]. I thought, dear God, this middle section is so frightening. How many people will make it to the third one, which is a lightning fast trip through American history. That's the fun one! Maybe I scared people so much that they won't even get there!"

The second section is, indeed, scary, even though we lived through it. Richardson pulls us back into the anxiety, angst, despair and fear of the rise of Christian nationalism, the use of gaslighting opponents, the prioritization of dictators over traditional allies, the trampling of the rule of law, the lives lost, and the ramifications of "The Big Lie." Richardson dedicates a full chapter to "The Big Lie," starting with its Nazi origins and reminding readers that it "permitted the final destruction of the liberal consensus, focusing first on the right to vote itself." She ends the chapter and part two of the book with this chilling assessment:
"Regardless of who was in the White House, and with the help of the language of authoritarianism and the use of mythological history, the MAGA Republicans appeared to be on track to accomplish what the Confederates could not: the rejection of the Declaration of Independence and its replacement with the hierarchical vision of the Confederates."
Heather Richardson is at the very least a demi-god to these leftist heathens, and I think again studying the enemy is a timeless practice that warrants consideration.

And here it is,

CONFIRMED: CIA Director Gina Haspel conspired with OCCRP, Adam Schiff, and USAID to topple the United States government in 2019.

Jesse Watters "You have this new piece on Substack that the USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump's impeachment?"

@shellenberger "It's a crazy story The House of Representatives impeached, President Trump in December of 2019. Many people may may not remember that it was a CIA analyst who was left over from the Obama White House who wrote the memo that led to the impeachment. It was all based on hearsay.The person had not actually been in the room with Trump.

Nonetheless, this memo that he wrote relied heavily on a report done by an organization funded by USAID. In fact, its initial founding funding I mean, now it's $10s of millions of dollars had gone into this group called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a name that's not very memorable, OCCRP, but it was basically created as an extension of the state department and then of USAID."

In other words, the CIA attempted to topple the U.S. government in 2016 and 2019 and succeeded in 2020 all funded by USAID through the extortion of the American taxpayer.

The congress critters are all in on it, fyi.
Quote:
Congress doesn't stop it because Congress is deeply complicit. Senators and Representatives allocate taxpayer dollars to USAID, but that's only the start. The International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI), both recipients of USAID funding, include actively serving members of Congress on their boards.

These same organizations also serve on ACVFA, the advisory body that workshops where USAID money flows. The Presidents of IRI, NDI, and the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) all hold seats on ACVFA. Gates Foundation and other members of USGLC also sit on ACVFA.

USGLC, meanwhile, operates as a revolving door. Former Senators and Representatives from both parties serve in its leadership, and internal emails show the group actively pursuing newly elected members of Congress to bring them into its fold. This recruitment involves regular dinners, direct outreach, and strategic lobbying.

That's why I coined it the Ouroboros of Interest. It's the infinite money hack, it's the reason why our deficit spending is out of control, and it's also the reason why Congress refuses to stop any of this spending.

We're actually still just in the early stages of really unraveling this, both publicly and financially, which can then lead to prosecutions, imho.


Much more at that thread.

Pretty much everybody in Congress has a spouse, sibling, son/daughter, or mistress that is employed by one of those NGOs making big money for not much work. They all have a big incentive to look the other way about how much gets spent there.
