Chris “Barney Rubble” Mathews always likes to brag how he was in the Peace Core.

The agency is just a junket “pretend jobs” for hippies that can’t find employment in the private sector. It’s like a ManPower for democrat party apparatchiks.

What’s the CIA going to do? DOGE is shutting down all their fronts.

It needs to be shut down.

Picturing the Peace Corps cranking the drawbridge closed as DOGE approaches with its battering ram and catapults.

Me either. But it still exists just enough to be “popular with both Democrats and Republicans.”

The good news keeps rolling in! I’m not tired of winning...or at least being in the game with pending lawfare.

This is how you reform the CIA. Cut USAID. Cut the Peace Corps. Cut the Red Cross. Get rid of the 6400 extra positons on the books at State which exceed the Congressionally authorized mandate of 15,000 foreign service officers/specialists - that extra 28% are undeclared.

DOGE needs also to target LEGAT at State. LEGAT is the FBI overseas, complete with their office level encryption devices for their internal networked systems piggybacking State/Agency Com’s.

Another one of JFKs pet projects along with USAID developed for the Vietnam war aid. How brilliant is that. Send a bunch of idealogs to a war zone to get killed.

Once upon a time I held a very sensitive position in an Army intel agency. At that time there was a list of organizations you could not belong to, or you’d never get a TS clearance.

The Peace Corp was one. Obviously, the communist party USA was another. I presumed those going overseas with the Peace Corp could have been easily flipped. Most of them being hippy draft dodgers, that would have been easy.

Obama calls it the Peace Corpse. Because Obama’s a dummy.

You know, TBH I didn’t even know the Peace Corps. was still a thing.

The FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan therefore enables the Peace Corps to continue to meet its mission of advancing world peace and friendship while returning Volunteers to service in new and strengthened ways.

In other words, throw money at a program that is there for other countries to determine it’s worth and act accordingly to be behaving to the US dutifully. And that has never worked in the history of the world, with any country, anywhere that wasn’t militarally threatened at the least. Perfect example is the Ukraine.

I love knowing the entrenched money stealers panic when DOGE shows up.

Dig out original charter of the PCorps. Kill everything not according to a strict interpretation of those words.

Ditto with all orgs. Many were created with good ideas and good intentions. Then, the commie trash were permitted to meet with good people and the rot began.
This is all created by trash PEOPLE! Not the orgs, the people who perverted it. Don’t blame the system when the system is comprised of all sorts of people.

Exactly. Which shows it’s an useless money pit which exists for the sole purpose of funneling money into the pockets of its fed overseers.
