The more I know about it, the more I understand how it has come to be an untouchable sandbox full of malignant malfeasance for DEMOCRAT politicians. It is a money bucket full of holes that money drains out of to be scooped up by corrupt enemies, foreign and domestic. For anyone interested, there is an excellent FR Thread started by Freeper SeekAndFind:
LINK TO FREE REPUBLIC THREAD: If Presidents Can’t Control Executive Agencies, Elections Are Fake
It is a superb article, a lot of information. On my way into work this morning, I heard Trump refer to USAID as staffed by Left Wing Lunatics. That appears to be a spot on characterization as the Federalist article above also links to a thorough, informative, and all-around-excellent article from the Heritage Foundation (who delivered to us what now appears to be the Trump blueprint for reforming government; the excellent Project 2025!) which has a prescient article from 2022 titled:
It is an extremely detailed article that outlines exactly how this Department (USAID) has been totally hijacked by "Left Wing Lunatics", and this excerpt from that Heritage Foundation article linked above outlines and clearly confirms this:
"...A review of the first 50 USAID employees, chosen alphabetically, who made political contributions during the 2020 federal election cycle shows that 48 of them donated to Democratic candidates and causes, with just two giving to Republicans, a 12 to 1 ratio. Of the estimated $48,000 donated, only $600 went to Republicans, less than 2 percent of the total.80 Following the slaying of George Floyd in late May 2020, an election year, over 1,000 USAID staff demanded that the agency “make a public statement affirming that Black Lives Matter,” accused USAID “of structural racism,” and insisted USAID design a plan to address “systemic injustice, racism, colonialism, and police brutality,” echoing liberal and progressive talking points just months before national elections..."
Just wow. The first 50, chosen at random alphabetically...!
I guess A-A-ron Alpha is sweating bullets.
The CIA’s deception regarding COVID-19 origins becomes much clearer when considering USAID's long history of serving as a: CIA front organization.
With an annual budget exceeding $50 billion and activities in over 100 countries, USAID has repeatedly been linked to intelligence activities. Former USAID Director John Gilligan once admitted the agency was “infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people,” explaining that “the idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas: government, volunteer, religious, every kind.”
In 2013, a U.S. cable published by WikiLeaks outlined the U.S. strategy to undermine Venezuela’s government through USAID by "penetrating Chavez’s political base," "dividing Chavismo," and "isolating Chavez internationally."
In 2014, the Associated Press revealed that USAID funded the creation of a Twitter-like platform intended to incite a rebellion in Cuba.
USAID funding has been linked to coups in Haiti, Ukraine, Egypt, and other nations.
(check this below--I always wondered where the money came from for the bio-labs)
From 2009 to 2019, USAID partnered with EcoHealth Alliance on the PREDICT program, which identified 1,200 new viruses, trained 5,000 people globally in disease detection, and enhanced 60 research labs.
This partnership provided the CIA with a direct channel for embedding human assets within biological research facilities worldwide in exchange for funding and technology transfers.
In 2022, Dr. Andrew Huff, a former Vice President at EcoHealth Alliance, publicly revealed Dr. Peter Daszak’s alleged ties to the CIA.
The core issue?
The CIA lied to the American public about COVID-19’s origins because acknowledging the truth would expose its likely role in funneling taxpayer money through USAID to finance gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
(Wuhan lab may have been a smaller player than we know with about 50 million bukcs overall sent ther. It looks like the CIA and others may have been behind the extensive research at UNC with Ralph Barrick who clearly did gain of function reserach accd. to dr. David Martin. THey may have gotten 100's of millions in reserach money once again accd. to Martin)
