Of Course, USAID's Fingerprints Are All Over the Russian Collusion Hoax

What’s left of the desiccated corpse of USAID has been absorbed into the State Department, with most of its workers laid off and its overseas missions shut down. The veneer of aid work has been obliterated, thanks to the work of President Donald J. Trump and DOGE, which uncovered a litany of wasteful spending. It was a primary driver of favors and pork for the political class. The gravy train derailed, and the vehicle for moving slush funds was deactivated. That’s why the Left freaked out about the end of USAID.

The agency also played a part in the impeachment of Trump, subsidizing and being a quasi-lord protector at the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which is supposed to be independent but was anything but when you review the dynamics. USAID approved its staff hires and action plan, and OCCRP was cited numerous times in a CIA whistleblower’s complaint that launched the Ukraine quid pro quo circus. So, it’s not too shocking that USAID was also involved in the Russian collusion delusion. Public’s Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag once again dove into this sordid world of (supposed) NGO activity and government funding: they found that OCCRP pushed the Trump-Russian bank/money laundering myth. It’s a lengthy piece, folks:

In 2017 and 2018, reports suggested that Trump properties were used for money laundering by Russian financial criminals and Russian state entities. Trump’s entanglements with Russian oligarchs, Democrats and political commentators argued, had made him “Putin’s puppet.”

...The first effort to frame Trump as corrupted by Russians was in the summer and fall of 2016. In early August, a Defense Department contractor at Georgia Tech and another “researcher” claimed to have found a connection between the Trump organization and a Russian bank, Alfa Bank.

The revelations about the "color revolution" played in the USA by USAID are beyond shocking. Seriously, treason charges are called for and, if guilty, executions are appropriate.

Shawn Ryan had someone on recently (don’t know the man’s name) but the way he described USAID was that since CIA special ops came under the purview of the Office of the President, USAID was used to circumvent this requirement and do all the dirty deeds with no oversight.

proof CIA controlled USAID

Adam Schiff was on all the television shows at the time promoting the Russian Collusion Hoax. He had seen the top secret documents to prove it but could provide no further information because this was all top secret. Bwahahahaha

Probably Mike Benz. He’s an expert on all the dark dealings of USAID.

I strongly recommend everyone listen to that episode of the Shawn Ryan show. Mike Benz was the guest. What USAID was up to will curl your hair
