According to media reports, President Trump has removed the entire leadership structure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), previously run by Samantha Power.
This is not necessarily a domestic issue. Those who walk the deepest political weeds well understand that USAID is the cover agency for the interventionist efforts of the CIA. USAID is the agency silo that coordinates the meddling in foreign elections, organizes the revolutions and political opposition of those deemed out of alignment with global democratic norms, funds the NGOs who do the ground operations, and generally seeks to replace foreign leaders.
President Trump has just removed the entire leadership structure of the USAID enterprise, approximately 60 government officials. You can bet that nationalist leaders of foreign countries are smiling now while Brussels (EU Commission) is left wondering who will pay for the foot soldiers.
(Via Politico) – […] The order — sent via email to members of the senior executive and senior Foreign Service — was issued close to the end of the business day Monday and was effective immediately, according to two current USAID officials and three former USAID officials told of the communication. It comes as USAID and the State Department have been ordered to impose halts on a vast number of humanitarian and related programs around the world.
The decision appears to affect nearly every career staffer who holds a top leadership role at the agency, at least in Washington — around 60 officials, the current and former officials said.
The cuts have left many offices within the agency entirely devoid of senior non-political leadership. The entire cadre of leaders who run USAID’s bureau for global health, for example, was put on leave, according to two of the officials.
“This is a huge morale hit,” said a former senior Trump administration official who was also told of the move. “This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.” (read more)
So much winning
Previously run by Samantha Power. All I needed to know. Shut ‘em down. Now.
....This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.....
Bring an end to the shenanigans, TomFoolery and Hijinks
“This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
The answer to the later question is to put a stop to the former mischief, I hope.
Samantha Powers and Victoria Nuland, MURDEROUS WHORES FOR THE DEVIL.
some judge issues a hold
President Trump says
” hold my beer “
and then fires all the ilk that spends that freed up frozen $$$.
all the $ in the world with no one around to grift drift off it.
lefties will think twice pulling crap next.
Oh no! Now who will hire the hit men?
The Atlantic Council needs to be dealt with too. They are also CIA/MIC.
“previously run by Samantha Power.”
That’s all we need to know. I suspect that there is a massive grift industry, along the lines of the Clinton Foundation, which funnels billions to “in the loop nudge nudge wink wink” bureaucrats who find a way that this money goes to the pockets of their cronies, and from those pockets the money comes back to them. Once the money goes to an NGO there in no FOI accountability, no one has to say where the money went. This explains the deep state hatred of Trump, he won’t play the game.
That is exactly right. And it has been going on for decades...
This is great... Samantha Power’s influence needs to be bleached out.
goods that have been stolen by Hamas and used to prolong its terror campaign. The agency stonewalled the probe for nearly half a year, resulting in the lawsuit.
The documents are key to understanding how USAID and its director, Samantha Power, conducted a diplomatic campaign meant to inject millions of dollars in aid into the Gaza Strip through organizations like the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which employed scores of Hamas militants, including those who participated in the Oct. 7 terror spree.
Have Mika and Joe’s heads exploded yet? 💥

Breaking Norms And Precedent, Biden Attempts To Purge Career Intelligence Official

Pelosi, Schiff, and Biden have politicized a career intelligence community position by demanding the removal of a national security professional.
Hours after President Joe Biden delivered his inaugural address promising to bring unity and healing to the country, his administration began a politically charged attack on a highly respected, newly appointed career intelligence official over fears he would be insufficiently loyal to Democratic partisans. The attempted purge has thus far followed the playbook publicly laid out by top Democrats and their left-wing media enablers.
“The cuts have left many offices within the agency entirely devoid of senior non-political leadership.”
LOL - they haven’t had ‘non-political leadership’ in DECADES.
