Fired State Dept bureaucrats reportedly using their regime change skills to sabotage Trump
Fox News ^ | Jul 8, 2025 | Alexander Hall

Current and former USAID and State Department officials are using their expertise in undermining authoritarian regimes abroad against President Donald Trump and his agenda at home, according to a new report Monday.

The Trump administration is still in the process of terminating thousands of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) workers by September as the agency restructures to fall in line with the president's "America First" policy.

NOTUS reporter Jose Pagliery reported, however, that "Some of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump’s power."

One anonymous current federal official warned to NOTUS, "Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one." He added, "They were so quick to disband AID, the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, it might have been safer to keep your regime."

"Former officials" reportedly told the news outlet that they are "holding workshops on a tactic called ‘noncooperation.’ They’re building a network of government workers willing to engage in even minor acts of rebellion in the office. And they’re planting the seeds of what they hope could become a nationwide general strike."

"Some in the informal network of Trump opponents are sharing an old CIA pamphlet with allies who still work in the government: It’s called ‘Simple Sabotage,’" the reporter added.

But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population.

BS, these employees would do more harm wrecking things from the inside, in addition to normal government employee incompetence.

I provided technical assistance to the Army as a support contractor, after 3 years they brought in Sergeants from around the world to give input into our system. After the meeting (I was chief note taker) the head government engineer asked me "Didn't you make those recommedations?"
I replied about 80%. He then asked if I could give a report documenting that. I said sure, but I don't think you want me to as it was should you were provided the recommendation and ignored it. I never did the report.

“Well-trained”? Maybe “trained” but these parasites are helpless without the ready availability of truckloads of OTHER-PEOPLE’S-MONEY. Good riddance to these parasites who will no longer be sucking sustenance from the American taxpayers. They will be more helpful in their new careers as baristas.

Where the hell is Liz Cheney and her Insurrection gang? They should be out there arresting liberals left and right. We’ve got a real insurrection going on and the RATs in Congress are the friggin chimpanzees instigating it.

These people are just confirming my beliefs about fedgov bureaucrats. McCarthy was right. The bureaucracy, especially DOS, was snd is infested with communists. We used to execute them……

You mean the Antifa organizers?

They have to keep their “skills” polished for the next revolution — while moonlighting as starving artists, musicians, actors and union/pride organizers.

What an asinine statement. They know how to write projects that benefit themselves, their friends the NGOs, or their political philosophy. They know how to cover-up fraud and waste. The only jobs they can hope for are in Democrat controlled polities, and they have been out of that loop for years. As for the friendly NGOs that have been on the government teat for years, they are now sweating bullets as the gravy train has been derailed.

It appears these former employees think too much of themselves and their “skills.” Go on out there in the wild dudes. Without institutional cover, resources and endless backup. You are gonna get to meet Bubba this time on the new form of “inside” you’ll get to experience.

You can bet they’re getting money from China and Soros, and probably have been for years. They’ll fail, though. They would have done much more damage from within. .

What is wrong with being "authoritarian"? It just means enforcing the law. None of this loosey goosey look-the-other way stuff.
If dat —ga wants to be breaking the law, well yowsa, the law be acoming foh dat —ga.

Capital punishment for every last one of them. They want to see what authoritarianism looks like? Give it to them good and hard!

I’m sick of these degenerate demons!

Their first big meeting will devolve into a massive orgy.

Change my mind.

Sounds like the government. I worked for NY State. At supervisor meetings, when asked for input, many of us would bring up important points that should be addressed. They were either poo-pooed in the meeting, or completely disregarded. After a while, at those meetings, when they asked us if we had anything we wanted to add. As they went around the table, each one of us said no. Why bother. They didn't really want our opinion.
