I think disburse can be used as a synonym to being sort of distributed over an area by an authority, like disbursing troops? Or am I thinking of something else?

And you cannot be too careful. I’ve see the surveillance state up close. It is shocking, and goes far beyond just some FBI Agent trying to determine what some few individuals are allowed to say on twitter.

They have literally recreated the Stasi in American civilian life, right down to the guy who sits around all day listening to what the neighbors are saying. I would never have believed it possible had I not seen it.

To disburse is to pay out or to expend funds. Without exception the word relates to money. To disperse is to scatter or to cause to vanish. It is possible for money to be dispersed, but that’s usually a bad thing; money that is paid out or expended for a given purpose is disbursed.
