During an appearance on the ‘All In’ podcast this week, David Sacks, Trump’s ‘crypto-czar’ talked about the exposure of USAID by DOGE and why it’s causing so much anxiety for the establishment in Washington, DC.
Sacks points out that it’s a giant scam, which awards a ton of money to all of these people and their favored media outlets.
He questions how much of this cash was used to create artificial support for progressive policies in the form of Astroturf.
Partial transcript via Kanekoa the Great on Twitter/X:
“We’re in debt almost $40 trillion, and anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. The question is, why? Well, now we know. The money is all going to them.”
“New York Times, getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid. Ukraine, like 11 out of 12 publications, getting paid. Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, was saying his political opposition is funded by USAID.”
“In Poland, the left-wing political opposition is funded by USAID. BBC in the U.K. Every left-wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID, which distributes $50 billion a year. That’s a billion dollars a week. That’s a lot of money.”
“It makes you wonder. The left, in general, tries to portray itself as a movement of the people. That it’s grassroots, this is the exact opposite. This is astroturf. This money is coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all these groups all over the world. So it makes you wonder, what is the real level of local support for these left-wing policies all over the world?”
...
This is only the beginning. More of this shameful spending will come to light because of DOGE and the left will continue to melt down but it won’t matter. The jig is up.
DUH
And no Republicans knew about this???? I question that.
Once the money that funds the global propaganda campaign for the Left goes away, I do expect more people to receive slightly more honest information and analysis and I do expect more people to have their eyes opened: The government is the problem, not the solution. If you have your freedom, you can run your own life.
No surprise here.
Next comes the part about WHO HAS BEEN GETTING the dough.
Democrat, Republican, Independent — I don’t care whose name will be published in the next week or so — THEY ALL NEED TO BE INDICTED — IMMEDIATELY.
and...
I am confident that USAID is only the beginning...
But it is a great start!
Shutting down U.S.A.I.D may be the primary reason the Dems lose the mid-term election.
RINOs like Mitch knew
US National debt is over $226 trillion. ~bottom right.
Exposing USAID is a great start.
Did Barry Hussein Soetoro know this and when did he know it? /s
The jig is up, let the hangings begin
The Democrat banshees screaming in the street should all be given 10 years just for protesting being caught in their corruption
I think we’re going to find that the GOPEs were in on it.
You do know that the Pubbies are virtually all just the other blackmailed and bought-off wing of the uniparty?
I believe Congress needs to create a Special Court of Recovery to get back as much money as possible that was unlawfully given out. The court will be given the power to strike down any court order from a district or appellate court and is only answerable to the USSC. it will have the power to seize any assets anywhere as necessary. And to be able to try civil and criminal cases. The court should be convened somewhere in the central U.S., away from the swamp. The Court will have a life of 10 years at which time it will be dissolved.
A politically connected FB “friend” (related to Maine governor Mills by marriage) who spent 8 years “shi*t posting” all manner of lies and accusations about DJT, and generally insulting all things Republican/conservative endlessly, has suddenly gone quiet when I posted “So, how much USAID money did you get paid for spreading your filthy lies about Trump?” —crickets—
Now he sends me a timid-sounding PM about how we “need to talk on the phone”. Uh-huh, right...
If you are on X, I’d suggest you follow @DataRepublican (and subscribe, so that she can do this full time). She is bringing the receipts, and has set up a website to allow others to search as well. She’s uncovering more every day.
Ha…what else explains how some of the world’s most incompetent and stupid people get into public office skinned …then walk out billionaires!
The entire All-In podcast is excellent. Recommend.
Of course he knew from the start. Nothing this profoundly corrupt gets cranked up overnight
