Again, in the past week or two, the dims have scurried around supporting the deep state, hoping their kickbacks won't be discovered. Obviously, this is a problem for them. Many dims have come out and preached about how USAID has done so much for the world. First, I honestly doubt if any of us but (maybe) two actually had ever heard of USAID, much less worked with them or seen the labels on the pallets in any country.
This is a State Dept slush fund that only gets funded through its entirety. Meaning State Dept asked for "an amount" for USAID, and they don't have to disclose where the money is going. That to me is an issue. Some of the money actually gets named through congress, but that's the exception rather than the rule.
Here's the problem with this setup. NGOs have no requirement to report if they received any money, and what's left. What is happening is there are kickbacks from the politicians that are supporting the NGO. Menendez is a good example of this. He gets money to go to a Turkish NGO, or in his case gives intelligence to the government of Turkey. He then, "buys" gold from the "jeweler" ran by two Turkish guys. The gold doesn't have a registration in the US (it's Turkish), which means it doesn't "exist" in the US, although it's still a chunk of gold in troy ounces. The representative or his wife walk away with the money.
'Calling Card' for US Democratic Party Found Along with Missiles, Rifles in Terrorist Weapons Cache
Packages from the United States Agency for International Development were found last year in a cache of weapons owned by the terrorist group Hezbollah, according to new reports.
The reports come at a time when USAID’s funding is under attack and the agency is being defended by Democrats such as Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, who called USAID “smart power.”
“From the American taxpayer to Hezbollah, with love,” Asher Fredman, formerly with the IDF and currently executive director of the think tank Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy in Jerusalem.
He said sniper rifles, anti-tank missiles, and explosives were found, along with USAID materials in a Lebanese village from which Hezbollah had withdrawn.
“When I served in Lebanon last October, we found huge Hezbollah weapons caches, together with USAID care packages (not to mention UNICEF folders),” Fredman posted on social media platform X.
Gerald Steinberg, founder of NGO Monitor, said the find was no surprise to insiders.
"The folks at USAID knew that taxpayers' money and ‘emergency assistance' went to terrorists. @NGOmonitor has repeatedly documented systematic aid diversion by terrorist organizations in Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen,” he posted on X.
So. My guess is there will be a lot of politicians wrapped up in the USAID thing. Especially those who have been involved with US politics for a long time.
