“USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair.”

“USAID is a key component of the US government’s ‘regime change’ operations worldwide. USAID spends billions of dollars every year propping up ‘NGOs’ overseas that function as shadow governments, eating away at elected governments that the US interventionists want to overthrow. Behind most US foreign policy disasters overseas you will see the fingerprints of USAID. From Ukraine to Georgia and far beyond, USAID is meddling in the internal affairs of foreign countries – something that would infuriate Americans if it was happening to us.”

The first quote is from Elon Musk. The second quote is from Daniel McAdams. It is an amazing time!

USAID was created by JFK by Executive Order. Speculation is that Trump will issue an EO folding USAID into the State Department and keep all disbursements for USAID frozen until Musk’s minions can complete forensic audits on where all the billions of dollars have gone. This is a very shrewd way to highlight spending that will “infuriate Americans” and force Congress to get rid of USAID spending.

Let’s hope that the USAID budget is set to zero, all employees are fired, and many ex-employees start appearing before grand juries.
