President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, along with a team of young men at the Department of Government Efficiency, dealt a massive blow to the bureaucratic \u2018Deep State\u2019 last week with the temporary pause on funding to USAID.\u00a0 The organization has previously come under scrutiny for its lack of transparency in how it allocates its almost $50 billion in funding, with many suggesting that the organization is a \u201cfront for the CIA.\u201d<\/p>\n
J. Michael Waller, author of\u00a0Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went From Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villians,\u201d <\/em>pushed back on the \u201cfront for the CIA\u201d claim in a post on X.\u00a0 In it, he claimed, \u201cIt\u2019s worse than that.\u00a0 USAID became its own unaccountable covert operations agency.\u00a0 USAID ran covert ops without presidential finding as required by law.\u201d<\/p>\n USAID is not a front for the CIA.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worse than that.<\/p>\n USAID became its own unaccountable covert operations agency.<\/p>\n USAID ran covert ops without a presidential finding as required by law.<\/p>\n \u2014 J Michael Waller (@JMichaelWaller) February 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While most of the \u201ccovert ops\u201d may, in fact, be opaque and without presidential findings, not all are.\u00a0 On Wednesday, Just The News reported on several examples<\/a> of USAID exerting influence on foreign countries to sway political winds in favor of U.S. interests.<\/p>\n Among them was the East-West Management Institute, a Soros Open Society-backed organization that also received more than $260 million in USAID grants<\/strong> over the years.\u00a0 This money, according to Just The News, was used to \u201cpromote rule of law in Georgia, strengthen civil society in Uganda, and advance Serbia\u2019s accession talks with the European Union.\u201d<\/p>\n The group also received $9 million for a \u201cJustice for All\u201d campaign in Albania that was uncovered by Judicial Watch during the Obama Administration.\u00a0 Just the News reported:<\/p>\n The assistance concerned several GOP Senators, who\u00a0sent a letter<\/a>\u00a0to the newly appointed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in 2017, alleging the campaign funded by the U.S. government helped craft an Albanian judicial reform proposal that may \u201cgive the Prime Minister and left-of-center government full control over the judiciary.\u201d<\/p>\n Those same Senators also raised concerns about a similar Soros-backed program in neighboring Macedonia where they said a local affiliate called Foundation Open Society-Macedonia received backing from USAID through the Open Society Foundations and pushed \u201ca progressive agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While the influence USAID funding exerts on foreign populations to induce and influence regime change may sometimes be subtle at best, other times it is much more apparent.\u00a0 Joe Biden\u2019s trip to Ukraine as Vice President in March 2016 may be one of the more well-known examples.<\/p>\n After the 2020 Election and the expos\u00e9 of the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell, quite a bit of attention was given to an outburst that Joe Biden made during a discussion at the Council on Foreign Relations in January 2018.<\/p>\n During his remarks, Biden infamously bragged about pressuring Ukraine officials to fire Viktor Shokin, the special prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, where Hunter Biden was a board member making almost $1 million per year.<\/p>\n Biden recalled going to Kyiv for the \u201c12th or 13th time\u201d to announce a third<\/a> billion-dollar loan guarantee.\u00a0 He said he had gotten a commitment from Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian President who was installed following the ousting of Viktor Yanukovich during the Maidan Revolution, and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk to \u201ctake action against the state prosecutor.\u201d\u00a0 But when Biden arrived, the two Ukrainians had yet to remove Shokin.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018I\u2019m leaving here in, what, six hours?\u00a0 If the prosecutor is not fired, you\u2019re not getting the money,’\u201d Biden recalled saying.\u00a0 \u201cWell, son of a bitch.\u00a0 He got fired!\u201d<\/p>\n\n In June of 2016, the loan guarantee<\/a> was signed and entered into force a few months later in September.\u00a0 The announcement of the USAID loan was made on September 30th, 2016 and stated:<\/p>\n Yesterday\u00a0USAID announced the issuance of\u00a0a $1 billion loan guarantee from the United States to the Government of Ukraine to support the implementation of key economic and governance reforms necessary for Ukraine\u2019s democratic transition and sustainable economic recovery.<\/p>\n \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cUSAID is proud of our ongoing commitment to the Ukrainian people and government to foster critical economic and democratic reforms,\u201d said USAID Administrator Gayle Smith.\u00a0 \u201cThis loan guarantee and USAID\u2019s ongoing assistance in Ukraine will bolster the process of implementing meaningful reforms and will bolster efforts to combat corruption and build a more independent, democratic, and financially viable and prosperous Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Ya\u2019ll remember when Joe Biden bragged about withholding that \u201c$1 billion loan guarantee\u201d to Ukraine in exchange until the prosecutor investigating Burisma was fired??<\/p>\n That was USAID.<\/p>\n That is how Nuland and her cronies at the State Department were able to fund the Maidan and\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/nlhqOdoUiD<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 CannCon (@CannConActual) February 6, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Merriam-Webster defines a \u201ccoup<\/a>\u201d as \u201ca sudden decisive exercise of force in politics\u201d that leads to the \u201coverthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.\u201d\u00a0 Because there was no violence in the specific actions taken by then-Vice President Biden, it would be considered a \u201csoft coup.\u201d<\/p>\n Whether or not there was violence is irrelevant.\u00a0 Biden utilized the threat of withholding $1 billion in USAID loans to remove the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, a man who was appointed by the Ukrainian President (the US-friendly Poroshenko rather than the Russian-friendly Yanukovich) and was confirmed by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) by a vote of 318 out of 382 deputies.\u00a0 He also just happened to be investigating corruption in a company Hunter Biden had a financial interest in.<\/p>\n As the disgraced John Bolton, unburdened from his security clearances and security detail, once eloquently stated to CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper:<\/p>\n John Bolton should be in prison.<\/p>\n Plenty of security from Iran there. https:\/\/t.co\/jfwTJM0P3x<\/a>
