USAID In Egypt Had Me Detained For Walking In And Asking If It’s Following Trump’s Orders
The Federalist ^ | 2/25/25 | Larry Taunton

The destruction of this rogue agency cannot come soon enough.

For some years now, I have been tracking globalist initiatives at both ends: at the point where the ideological rounds are chambered and downrange where they affect the lives of millions as public policies. This has taken me from places like Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum meets annually, to cartel towns in Colombia where illegal aliens board Zodiacs bound for the Darién Gap and thousands of them simply disappear.

I’ve also been tracking how USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, via a series of NGOs, has been running what amounts to a massive human trafficking operation across South America, through Central America, and straight up through our borders. President Trump is working to hold accountable those responsible, but there is so much more to the global workings of this clandestine government agency.

A Visit to the USAID in Egypt I recently traveled from Davos to the ancient city on the Nile. With USAID’s nefarious activities dominating the news, I decided to visit its Cairo office to see how it was responding to Trump’s recent order slashing USAID activities.

To call USAID Egypt an office is misleading. It is a military-style compound.

My Egyptian driver, Mohamed, and I approached the boom gate where security guards stood in a small guardhouse of the type you see all over the world. They raised the gate arm and waved us through. (I’ve found that the key to entering government buildings, much like the World Economic Forum, is simply to walk in as if I own the place. More often than you might think, security just steps aside.)

USAID has been absorbed into the State Department. A USAID office still functions in Israel too. State Dept might be worse than USAID and tougher to control. Interesting ride ahead.

My Lord, is this guy being paid by the word?

This is a as tedious (and as pointless) as a traveler recounting a lengthy yarn about being bumped from the Vienna to Bucharest train and then being double-charged for the ride he never took.

I used to guard that USAID building in Cairo. Little did I know the nefarious activities they were up to.

Well, you don’t expect them to post a CIA sign at the gate, do you?

You think that article is wordy and tedious, just try reading the Bible.

Any American in Cairo, Egypt, (or any Middle Eastern country) may want to think twice before openly, face to face challenging their observance to protocol.

Their first instinct will be to cover up and protect what they’ve been doing. The second instinct may be to silence and/or sequester the foreign challenger, so that this ‘inconvenient boldness’ won’t quickly spread to others.
