USAID bonfire keeps growing: US government helps terrorist states, and gave $270m to “independent” media every year

By Jo Nova

It’s an avalanche. Twenty stories today could have been a Front Page Headline

The newest addition to the grift, graft and fraud list are terrorist organisations. — USAID sent $310 million US dollars to Hamas to build a cement factory in Gaza which would have helped make the tunnels of terror. Senator John Kennedy said Mr Musk discovered the American taxpayer was also giving money to Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and even $10 million to an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group called the Nusra Front. So far, Must and co, with his team of hot young tech-coders, have found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world.

In other inexplicable calls, the US government gave nearly $8 million to help teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary gendered language. A lot of Americans worked hard all year to pay their tax bill to cover that. Why?

But where are all the pleas from foreign leaders to save USAID?

Question of the week on the suspension of USAID comes from Mike Benz:

What’s the grift to charity ratio?

Forty or fifty billion dollars is a lot of money to spend to NOT create a photogenic […]

USAID gave $68 million to the WEF billionaires ski club at Davos

……..

Another day, another racket

As Elon excavates the Motherlode of global funding, the pieces start to fit together.

Kanekoa the Great wonders why USAID gave $68 million dollars to the World Economic Forum — a group of networking billionaires who meet in January each year to ski in Davos. They turn up in private jets to discuss how they can stop the average man flying. You ‘vill own nothing!

Jo Nova wonders why no media outlet on Earth seemingly figured this out for themselves. Perhaps it was the millions in funding the government paid some media outlets, presumably, to say nothing at all the right moments?

It’s almost like we already had One World Government all along, we just didn’t know it.

As Mike Benz said we’ve lived our whole life in “the Truman show”. We think we have free press. We think US foreign aid buys tents for refugees and food for starving […]

NGO’s emerge as The Shadow Government

By Jo Nova

It turns out the Non-Government Organizations were really The Government

The word for that is GONGO — a government organised non-government organization — at once, an impossible thing and also a tautology.

Hands up who is still reeling with the news that USAID had 50 thousand million dollars of political and media influence? The annual budget of $50 billion dollars in the hands of unaccountable activist NGOs buys a lot of “journalists”, editors and teenage protestors. Suddenly a lot of odd repeated patterns around the world make more sense. Why were all governments suddenly worried about disinformation, or the rights of transexuals?

Today we found out that news outlets like Politico, and the New York Times were being given millions of dollars from the US government.

Benny Johnson says:

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.

It seems some $27 million dollars went to Politico […]

Was USAID the core arm of the global Blob?

By Jo Nova

On closing it down Musk said: “USAID is a criminal organisation. Time for it to die.””

On Friday last week, Elon Musk and DOGE wanted access to agency systems of the giant USAID. When senior officials refused, by Saturday they were put on leave.

“Spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper,” Musk boasted on X.

“It became apparent that it’s not an apple with a worm it in,” Musk said in a live session on X Spaces early Monday. “What we have is just a ball of worms. You’ve got to basically get rid of the whole thing. It’s beyond repair.” — AP News

Elon Musk and DOGE closed the doors, and sent the head honcho’s packing. One officeworker said staff rushed to take down things like Pride Flags and incriminating books (whatever that means), and now they have lost access to their computers, and the site is down.

As Donald Trump and Elon Musk cut back rogue government agencies, USAID looks more and more like a giant money laundering racket. It has (or had) 10,000 employees and a budget of $50 billion dollars. It’s presented as a humanitarian […]
