The USIP was in the middle of a dramatic standoff with staffers from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency earlier this month. President Donald Trump dismissed much of the institute’s board, with the remaining members — including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — firing the organization’s president and CEO and installing Kenneth Jackson, a DOGE member, as the acting leader. And that's how you do it.

Remember, all of these NGOs have a name that’s the opposite of what they actually do

I would bet my left tit that the Institute of Peace was occupied with installing leftists in power to continue the scourge of globalist d-bags trying to take down the U.S.

Wikipedia article.

This turned into another lefty skim operation.
“On many of its projects, the institute works in partnership with non-governmental organizations, higher and secondary educational institutions, international organizations, local organizations, and U.S. government agencies”
Bureaucratic madness—all paid for by taxpayers.

Well...”mostly peaceful”...
To: cgbg
That is such typical leftist / progressive bosh, blather, balderdash and gobbledegook: “...the institute works in partnership with non-governmental organizations, higher and secondary educational institutions, international organizations, local organizations, and U.S. government agencies”
In other words, they DON’T DO ANYTHING!

See post 17—when they actually did something it was evil.

How much success have they had in achieving peace? Did they send representatives to Ukraine and Gaza?
