USAID inspector General, Starlink and Newsweek’s BS article

[Bulwinkle]

Newsweek has a BS story out claiming US a ID inspector general was investigating Starlink. The truth is the inspector General was just investigating how AI and Ukraine were using Starlink:

May 14, 2024 The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine.

Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.

USAID the greatest scam ever pulled off in the world and the democrats own it’s the missing page in the book 1984.

The truth is the inspector General was just investigating how AI and Ukraine were using Starlink...

So those claiming the IG was investigating Starlink were right...lol.

Just because the source is bad, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily false.

Supposed to have reviewed 2000 companies in 2024 but got next to nothing done.

Maybe the real reason they were shut down is poor work product produced at a glacial pace.

This long interview with Benz and Carlson goes deep into the USAID role in our ugly underbelly:

(I think they’re both at least CIA adjacent, shall we say, but I came out surprisingly like Tucker’s position and really being put off by Mike.)

PS Interesting how the interview freezes from 1:43 in, when Benz is talking about what sounds like a coup in Chile we did to protect Pepsi’s bottling interests through the last half hour.

WASN’T IT SOLD TO CURRENT OWNERS FOR THE SUM OF $1 ???

THAT alone establishes the value of NEWSWEAK.
