You won’t believe this one. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to organizations linked to Bill Kristol, the neoconservative war hawk best known for pushing endless wars and failed foreign policy.
But here’s the twist—Elon Musk just exposed it, and now the heat is on.
Who is Bill Kristol?
He’s the guy who cheered on the Iraq War, pushed for regime change everywhere, and now runs “Defending Democracy Together,” a group that’s received at least $2 million from USAID to influence American politics.
Why is USAID involved?
USAID is supposed to fund foreign aid, not political activism. Yet, it’s handing over money to Kristol’s group, which spends its time attacking populist movements and promoting globalist agendas.

A democracy is a political system in which the people periodically, by majority vote at the polls, select their rulers. The rulers then have absolute power to make whatever laws they please, by majority vote among themselves.This is what Bill Kristol supports. Totalitarianism.
In a constitutional Republic, the people also, by majority vote at the polls, select rulers, who make laws by majority vote among themselves; but the rulers cannot make any laws they please because the Constitution severely restricts their lawmaking power.
The ideal of a democracy is universal equality. The ideal of a constitutional Republic is individual liberty.
In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our Republic and transforming it into a democracy. One tactic of the subverters is subversion of language. By calling the United States a democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term, totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of our principles of government.
— Dan Smoot Report, 1966
… The thesis of the state socialist is that no line can be drawn between private and public affairs which the state may not cross at will; that omnipotence of legislation is the first postulate of all just political theory. Applied in a democratic state, such doctrine sounds radical, but not revolutionary. It is only an acceptance of the extremest logical conclusions deducible from democratic principles long ago received as respectable. For it is very clear that in fundamental theory, socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. …

How the hell did this no talent hack ever get to be a somebody?
Wow! This explains a lot.
The Deep State? Funding one of the chief Neocons? Say it ain’t so!
How many other media “conservatives” have been bought off like this?
How is that not election interference, on a massive scale, on the taxpayers’ dime?
His dad’s association with the Bushes, IINM.
Wow. Organized corruption.
USAID is a front for the deep state to influence foreign entities around the world. They’ve been exposed and they will lose their funding. This is a stake to deep state body but it’s not a mortal wound... yet.
Do we need intelligence about our foreign adversaries and friends? Of course. Sadly the working mechanisms within the deep state have corrupted the mission parameters so a thorough cleansing is now needed.
As Weasel Boy Schumer said, “6 ways from Sunday”. That’s not what this country needs nor wants.
I bet the Lincoln Project will be exposed soon.
I have been using the Woodrow Wilson quote for a while.
Consider it was written in 1887, 25 years before Woodrow Wilson was elected to the US presidency with a plurality vote of 42% of the popular vote.
Roosevelt and Taft split the Republican vote. Roosevelt ran as a Progressive.
There’s an organization called Redeeming Babel. What’s that about and why am I paying it? Why are we paying for any of this????
I hope they make everything public.
Everything.
BTTT
Wonder how much “inspection” has been done on Samantha Powers...She has to be part of the whole mess. She ran USAID but is gone now. They need to get after her before she leaves the country.
Well that is a ball of worms. How big is this ball?
