DOGE - USAID et al

This is turning into a bigger story than first imagined... hiding in the shadows behind the machinations of power it silently has been funding the overthrow of our Constitutional form of government.

We've been funding our demise.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is an independent agency of the United States federal government primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance. Here's an overview based on recent discussions and developments:
Purpose and Functions:

• Humanitarian Assistance: USAID provides aid after natural disasters or conflicts, managing relief efforts through its Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
• Development: It focuses on long-term economic and social development, including health, education, and environmental projects.
• Support for Democracy: USAID works to strengthen democratic institutions, promote human rights, and support free and fair elections.
• Global Health: Significant efforts are made in combating diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, and in promoting maternal and child health.

Recent Developments:

• Administrative Changes: In early 2025, under the Trump administration, USAID faced significant restructuring efforts. The agency was reportedly put under the direct control of the State Department, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio acting as the administrator. This move was part of broader efforts to align foreign aid with national interests and reduce government spending.
• Operational Impacts: There have been temporary freezes on foreign aid, resulting in layoffs, furloughs, and a cessation of many ongoing projects. This has led to concerns about the immediate and long-term effects on global humanitarian and development initiatives.
• Criticism and Support:
  • Criticism: USAID has been criticized by some political figures, notably President Donald Trump and Elon Musk (in his role at the Department of Government Efficiency), for inefficiency, waste, and promoting what they describe as a "liberal agenda." Some posts on X have even accused USAID of being involved in fraud or as an arm of eugenics or political manipulation.
  • Support: Advocates for USAID emphasize its role in promoting U.S. interests through soft power, countering influence from nations like Russia and China, and providing essential aid to millions worldwide. They argue that USAID's work in health, education, and disaster relief is crucial for global stability and humanitarian efforts.
• Budget and Scope: USAID manages a significant portion of U.S. foreign assistance, with a budget often around $40 billion annually, supporting programs in over 100 countries. The agency's activities are vast, ranging from food assistance in famine-stricken areas to supporting democratic governance.

Current Status:

• Operational: As of early February 2025, USAID has been undergoing a significant overhaul, with its activities temporarily suspended in many areas. The agency's website has been taken offline, and employees have been placed on administrative leave or recalled from overseas posts.
• Future Uncertainties: There's uncertainty about whether USAID will continue as an independent agency or be permanently integrated into the State Department, reflecting broader debates about the role of U.S. foreign aid and its effectiveness.

The discussion around USAID in 2025 is highly polarized, reflecting differing views on the role of foreign aid, the efficiency of government agencies, and U.S. foreign policy priorities.

This is the biggest scandal in news media history:

No employee at Politico got paid yesterday. First time ever the company missed a pay period. This is a crisis.

Now we learn Politico — a “news company” — which spent the last 10 years trying to destroy the MAGA Movement was being massively funded by USAID.

Trump & Elon deleted their funding.

Now Politico will go out of business.

The corruption is endless.

Good riddance

I think they just proved the USSA is Fascist.

Fact: Bribery is rampant in the U.S. government and military—but it’s also legal.

To understand what’s going on at USAID you must understand how bribery works in America today.

Here’s how to legally bribe a 4-star US Army General:

American bribery operates differently than the classic cash-in-a-suitcase (or bitcoin today!) model still used in most other countries. It relies on trust, time, and reputation—making it nearly impossible to prosecute.

Example 1: Bribing a General in Africa

A corrupt general in Africa demands $2 million cash (or gold or BYT) up front. Why? Because if you don’t pay later, he has no way to enforce the deal.

Example 2: Bribing a U.S. General (Legally)

If you’re a defense contractor in the U.S., you play the long game:
1.Invite the general into a secure, private meeting.
2.Thank him for his “dedicated support” on a project “for the American people.”
3.Wink.
4.Casually mention that a board seat might open up at your company—about five years after he retires.
5.Tell him to call you in ten years to “help find good candidates.”

Fast forward five years: Boom. He lands that board seat. It pays $500,000 per year for five years. Congratulations—he just pocketed $2.5 million, plus interest.

The Board Seat Shuffle

This gets even better. Say Widgets Inc. lands a huge contract thanks to General Smith, and Cogs Inc. gets another big deal thanks to Admiral Jones.

Instead of directly paying them off, Widgets Inc. gives a cushy board seat to Admiral Jones. Cogs Inc. returns the favor by hiring General Smith.

No money exchanged while they were in uniform. No laws broken.

The Enforcement Mechanism: Reputation

But what if Cogs Inc. fails to pay Admiral Jones?

Simple: Reputation kills them.

Word spreads fast in the high-trust world of defense contracting. Generals and admirals still in uniform hear the whispers. Suddenly, Cogs Inc. starts losing contracts.

Example 3: USAID

Want to bribe a Congressman? Here’s how the game works. First, get them to steer a juicy contract your way. Take some of that money and set up a nonprofit—nothing flashy, just enough to move funds around. A few years after they’re voted out, suddenly there’s a cushy board seat waiting for them. In the meantime, have them use their connections to secure a USAID grant for the next wave of Congressmen or staffers. Rinse and repeat to expand the ponzi scheme and just like that, you’ve built a self-sustaining influence machine.

The lesson?

The bribe is exactly the same as a cash payoff—it’s just delayed, sanitized, and hidden behind a veil of “corporate best practices.”

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how government bribery legally thrives in America.

If this goes viral I might post 2/2 an even more ingenious bribery system: How China Bribes A Foreign General

Some of the most insane USAID spending that was recently found:

- $2 million for Moroccan pottery classes
- $2 million promoting tourism to Lebanon
- $20 million for a Sesame Street show in Iraq
- Sending Ukranians to Paris Fashion Week
- $1.5 million for DEI in Serbia
- $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland
- $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia
- $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru
- $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala
- $6 million for tourism in Egypt
- $1 million to help disabled people in Tajikistan become climate leaders
- $15 million for 'contraceptives and condoms’ in Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan

LOL

Ron Paul bringing it

This is exactly what's been happening!

You think they'd use their own money??

Think again!


USAID was using our tax dollars to send celebrities to UKRAINE to increase Zelensky's popularity around the world and, in particular, the U.S.

Angelina Jolie $20 million
Sean Pean $5 million
Jean Claude Van Dam $1.5 million
Orlando Bloom $8 million
Ben Stiller $4million

BURN USAID TO THE GROUND.

We don't need it under any department.

What appears proven, is that the Left - fronted by the Circle-D organization - has been running a covert international ring of terrorism. I don't see the fascism here - USAID was operating illegally, and acting as if it were an NGO. That's racketeering, that's international terrorism, but not fascism.

What we're seeing, is all the media and medical organizations that claim to be for the voters, for good health, clean water, yada yada...are for the opposite, and are funded by this criminal siphoning of tax monies.

I pray to all gods, that Musk and Trump can stay the course and get legal prosecutions - or even extralegal actions - to send justice to these mass-murderers and those who fronted for them.

When do the hangings start? New AG sworn in today! Is she busy processing warrants and indictments??? One can only hope!

Pizza is pedophile 'code' for 'children'.

Yep!

Looks like I'm gonna lose funding now for my "Home for Wayward Women"

Language

Future farmers of America?

USAID is a CIA front, and the CIA controls both parties in Congress.

Every patriot should read “Destroying America: The CIA’s Quest to Control the Government.”

Schumer and the infamous Liz Cheney are just two of the CIA officers who became Members of Congress in violation of the Constitution.

With Pelosi’s blessing, the CIA orchestrated everything on J6.

CIA officers used “police covers” when they moved barricades aside and ushered protesters over to the Capitol.

CIA officers were in the crowd perpetrating violence and stirring up anger among the protesters.

Wray is a CIA officer. He illegally used an “official cover” as FBI Director.

And because the CIA could not get rid of Trump with a phony riot, they tried to kill him in July 2024.

Official documents state that CIA officers are “detailed by the CIA” to be Secret Service agents. We all know they allowed Crooks to open fire on Trump.

The CIA spent decades building up its control before stealing the 2020 election. Cheney is gone, but the CIA still controls both parties in Congress.

To repeat, every patriot should read “Destroying America: The CIA’s Quest to Control the Government.”

U.S. Government Caught Funding “Large Scale Social Deception” Through Thomson Reuters Special Services

Leaked Contract Reveals DHS-Backed Program to Manipulate Public Perception

A newly uncovered federal contract shows that Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC (TRSS) was awarded over $9 million for a secretive program labeled “Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).”

The contract, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), suggests the U.S. government is funding large-scale influence operations designed to shape public narratives.

What We Know So Far

This revelation follows previous concerns about Thomson Reuters’ deep ties to intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

TRSS, a subsidiary of the global news and data company, specializes in high-level analytics and surveillance tools, often used by government agencies for counterterrorism and national security purposes.

Public records show that TRSS has been involved in contracts with the U.S. government for years, providing intelligence solutions, predictive analytics, and data monitoring systems. However, this new contract, explicitly mentioning “Large Scale Social Deception,” marks a SCARY shift toward potential disinformation and psychological operations aimed at the public.

The “Active Social Engineering Defense” (ASED) component of the contract suggests efforts to counteract social engineering threats...typically referring to cybersecurity and misinformation threats from adversaries.

The “Large Scale Social Deception” (LSD) wording indicates an initiative that may involve coordinated narrative control, online influence campaigns, and mass persuasion tactics.

Why This Matters

Thomson Reuters, known as a major global media and information provider, is now confirmed to be engaged in government-funded programs that appear to involve intentional deception at scale.

If this program is actively operational, it could mean that information fed to the public...whether through traditional media, social networks, or other digital platforms...may be subject to manipulation without public knowledge. (Obviously)

The contract is officially categorized as a “definitive contract,” meaning it is not speculative but an active, fully executed agreement with funding in place.

Neither DHS nor Thomson Reuters has publicly commented on the nature or objectives of this contract, and further details remain classified.

The explicit phrasing suggests the program goes beyond simple defense mechanisms and into the realm of orchestrated public perception management.

With digital information warfare becoming a growing concern globally, and mainstream media distrust on the rise, the existence of a government-funded “social deception” initiative raises serious red flags about how narratives are shaped, who controls the flow of information, and whether the public is unknowingly subjected to manipulation.
